    That is beautiful and I love the two-tone paint - makes it really stand out! This reminds me of my dad's mid-60's El Camino - brings back some good ol' memories!

    So, the Shorts just showed me your channel. I noticed that you were a bit hesitant to ship that sweet caddy limo out of the country but how you changed your mind.
    Let me make you feel even better about that.
    I live in Sweden and the classic car scene here is huge. I have lived in a number of small towns (2.5 - 10 k population) and there are SO many 30-70's cars in immaculate shape.
    On the street I live I have two neighbors who each own 1955 convertible Ford Thunderbirds, the ones with the spare wheel on the rear. One in a perfect cherry red and the other in super clean yellow. All restored to perfection.
    There are regular "cruise meetups" when the season permits.
    The larger Cadillacs are no rare sight either. just yesterday I passed a SUPER clean black 53 Bonneville with a matching camper behind it.
    So, all in all, the love for classic cars is still alive and well over here. You can feel good about passing those gems on, they will live on for a long time. :)

    You did good, I agree the white roof was an excellent choice. Your dad can sure paint. I learned to paint commercially when I was young (buildings) just like you dad did, I was taught to paint edges and hard to do areas first then the flat sections.
    Love your channel, Y'all are very talented. I am impressed how you take great care with these old beauties, and keep them original as much as possible. God Bless.

    Travis, I am a recent subscriber and have become addicted to your channel. I'll give you and your Dad an A+ for your work on this El Camino!!!!! What an awesome job!!! You guys work together very well. It reminds me of when I worked with my late Step Dad working on cars many many moons ago. BTW, I approve of how you got rid of that scorpion in one of the earlier videos by using a handmade flame thrower!!!! I live near St. Louis, MO and I hate spiders but thank God I don't have to deal with scorpions!!!! I'm a content junky so keep pumping out the content and I'll keep binge watching. Thanks!!!!

    IMHO, this looks MUCH better than the "patina" thing. I believe in preserving the original paint if it has little or no body damage to repair, and the paint is basically all there with maybe a few thin spots and flaws. Once there is body damage, rust-through that needs repair, and extensive surface rust, forget it...just paint it back in it's original colors...the car will look SOOOO much better. And I agree with you, I MUCH prefer single stage paint..if it fades a bit, you can usually wax/buff it back out...especially if it's lacquer...base/clearcoat, it looks good/shiny until the clear decides to peel or turn white/deteriorate...then, an otherwise good paint job is completely shot...I just don't care for it. Just think, if the old 1940's-1960's cars had been painted with base coat/clear coat, there probably wouldn't be ANY old cars left with original paint..the clear coat would have failed after 10-15 years, and downhill from there....
