The team do good work hey 😄👍 Some Peanut the other day wrote some real negative shit about Glen & i told him to piss off from the comments column platform ! Ive been checking this shops work for 12 months now & never seen a average job yet ! Glen puts it all out there on video along with his reputation ! He wouldn't do that if he & his team were doing crap jobs ! Im in Bundaberg Qld & My mate will be taking his 2004 Holden Statesman down to Glen later this year for full body paint 👍😊

Back in the early 70's went around aussie in a HD panel van - same colour grey. She was 149 manual & we got around 28 mpg in that old girl. Paid $350 for it, was a bit ruff body wise but mechanically very sound. That old girl never missed a beat the whole trip & we went over some pretty shit roads. Thems were the days. Great job ps I'd put the chrome strip back on the roof line where the white meets the grey just to finish it off. From memory they all had that chrome strip even it the car was a single colour.
I’d love to restore the HD panel van some day. Hope there’s still a few left out there . Yes the owner has the chrome strip but we left it off at his request as he was unsure . Thanks for sharing and supporting mate.
Two tone looks great the car is the same age as me. Did a fantastic job. I did spray painting and panelbeating at Sydney technical college we worked on cars like this. Had to spray a bonnet in 3 different paint air dry enamel baked on,and acrylic. 3 section was taped off. I remember we had a tub to put the spray gun and bottle. To clean the gun the things that you had to do as a apprentice.
I believe it was 3 days after Main body colour that I masked off to do the roof. I dont bake my paint so With standard hardener I recon this should be minimum cure time . Slow hardener possibly 5 days . I also had it out in the sun cooking the day after it went down . Thank for sharing and commenting mate .
Yes mate , not a bare metal job as I said in the beginning of the video. Just a straighten up , some rust sections repaired and a paint job. Not everyone wants to spend the big bucks mate . Thanks for watching .
I'm 65 and I've seen and painted and customized more old holdens than most I've never seen a HD that didn't have major rust its the worse holden for rust, HR's don't rust to death its a HD thing is why you don't see many around anymore which is a shame as I love the HD rear with a HR front on them, I'm a hardcore EH lover, think I would of put a little something in the paint to give a bit of ummff, you've done a beautiful job on him man 👍its interesting to watch other painters they way they paint your not wrong about the Iwata, myself I like something a bit faster my main go to is a DV1 but I've got over 30 guns of every make can't believe you only have 1 and yep if I had a $ every time I've forgot to clean out a gun I'd be rich got a giggle over that I'm currently doing a S2 VE HDT and yep I got a run on the number plate recess I bloody did it twice lol
Haha thanks for that mate. I also have used and carry just about every gun worth having . I go through stages of having a favourite. Thanks for your insight and support
Just to help us understand the work involved what would the cost of a job like that be. I understand it can very a lot from car to car but a round about figure and even the hours involved in a job like that. Great outcome and now a very neat old holden. Thanks for the Video
@@PaulWalsh-e2m hay mate , happy to answer this. There was 170 labour hours and plus materials and outsourced work the entire job came to $25k This was not a full nut and bolt resto but a partial one . Had it of been a start from sand blast rotisserie job it would have likely been 2-3 times more . Thank you for watching and sharing .
@@howardwilliams7399 my panel beater pulled the meat of the dent out . Welded in a small section where you may have seen the rust hole. It did require a skim of body filler over the top. The bog that came out as you could see was an inch and a half thick in the middle . Apparently 2 cans of bog was used in that C pillar and quarter panel . We took most of it out .
My holden hr 66 prem doesn't need resto its fantastic as it is. the hd shown is my equal favourite holden this one is going to turn heads once on public roads and for everyone's viewing cheers
I did this one in a solid direct gloss mate. My colour system only gave me the direct gloss option . I’m sure other systems would have the COB option but I like the way Protect direct gloss lays down and the customer was happy to use it. Thanks for your question.
A bodyworks in hobart in the late 80s put the bog on thicker than that , west end it was called, it was their tow truck though , it would crack constantly
Yeh for sure . If I’m not payed to do a bare metal job I don’t offer warranty as I cant know how think the bog might be In Some areas or what’s underneath. When I do bare metal restos I make sure any bog work of where required is just a light skim . Thanks for watching mate .
From memory the HD and HR were Lismore grey and the EJ and EH were Koala grey, slighly lighter shade. Also is lead wiping a lost art these days or just plain illegal to apply now? I knew a couple of old guys back in the 80s that were masters with lead
Check me if I’m wrong , but I think due to it’s toxicity the industry legally can’t sell it any more . Same as leaded petrol im guessing. Thanks for watching and sharing.
@@BillVanKesteren my panel beater pulled the meat of it out and got it to a point where only a skim of bog was needed. He did weld in a small section where you can see the rust hole in the video. Sorry I didn’t get much footage of the C Pillar actually being repaired . Learning with every video. Thanks for watching mate.
@@PaulHaymanHayman noted Paul. I’m currently filming a HX Body Restoration that I will pay more attention to the painting process. Thanks for the feedback .
That off white almost looks like the grey green colour some epoxys are when it gets sprayed out but looks a decent amount of white in the sun good job all round that roof turett is bog city haha 🤣🤣 seen plenty like that if not worse in my 30 years of life haha especially any old Holden or valiant we done a Resto on a wog farmers old val not long ago and literally the amount of bog fiberglass and flyscreen aluminium VB cansand pop rivits haha wild the things some people do to hide rust instead of just cutting it out treating it and welding fresh sheet it
HD hastily designed. Worst Holden ever except for the Camira lol. Great work guys well done. My dad bought one brand new. Traded mums EH and his FC ute. He kept telling me for 40 years that it was his worst mistake.
I guess a lot of the next gen would not have know this like myself. I look at these old cars and feel only happy . But owning one back when they came out I guess was different. Thanks for sharing and commenting mate .
You just don't know what you are buying when purchasing a classic car... I take a magnet with me when looking at cars for mates along with other tools of course, the look of horror on people faces when I pull the magnet out... As soon as I see their face drop I know...
Nice sculpture work 🤮 look at that job on the rear window sill well done 🤢 🤮 why remove the lead? Just for the fun of it ? Hope the customer didn't pay anymore than 5k for that job
Thank to Glen and the team at completion and paint beyond my expectations. Would recommend Reid for all you paint and restoration.

Thanks , yes got it to a point where it only needed a shallow skim over .

Great job Glenn.
How long do you wait after painting the body before painting the roof when doing 2 tone colours?
I believe it was 3 days after Main body colour that I masked off to do the roof. I dont bake my paint so With standard hardener I recon this should be minimum cure time . Slow hardener possibly 5 days . I also had it out in the sun cooking the day after it went down .

So i did i just watch them sand down the body and put new bog over old bog . Jeeeeezzzzz
