      Bill that hood and front spoiler do not do anything for the Monte. Love the car( had an 81 Monte that had black paint with wine interior). LOVE the paint but to each their own!!

    The level of quality in your shop is amazing. I’m a retired painter/bodyman who did mostly collision work for about 40 years. I restored 15-20 cars in that time span also and it was always refreshing to be able to spend the time needed to a beautiful job. I’m so impressed with your attitude and dedication to doing things right. Good to know that the current generation has got this!

      @HouseofPearls  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’ve actually thought about making a video of that lol. She could wetsand and buff epoxy primer, spray paint, or even rolled on rustoleum probably to a mirror. The final refinishing side of the process is a major factor in the end result. Application, material quality, and procedures used is most important in longevity.

      My grandpa had two 69’s. Both in the original red, with black stripes. One was an LS3 and the other a 396 if I’m not mistaken. I always hoped to own one of those cars one day lol.

      Definitely not as enjoyable as starting from original, but it’s much more common to fix other shops mistakes than it is to get a solid car with no corners cut on the work.

    The think I’ve found with bad stud welder work is misuse of it. People like to put all of the studs all at once with full force. I’ve always did them little by little and use the slide gently and then put constant pressure on the slide and tapping the damaged area accordingly all around. Sometimes even putting a little heat on the damaged area with my butane torch that comes with and used for shrink wrap. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box when doing metal work.

    • @HouseofPearls
      @HouseofPearls  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yep there’s sometimes when a stud welder is a necessary evil and there’s ways to mitigate the damage and have a quality repair. I’ve just found better results with glue pulling and pdr rods on 90% of dents.
      You’re absolutely right though. A torch, water rag, shrinking disc and body hammers can all be used with a stud welder to get decent end results.

    Back in the 70s when I started out in body shops all there was to buff with was wool pads and there was not all these different compounds so to buff something out that was black you had to know what you were doing and work your ass off my jeep and my monte carlo SS are black also my brothers square body is black it's single stage so it's really black we had a body shop supplier that sold all the compound and glaze to us so my brother used it alot and I used 3M perfect it system. That I love and I still love my wool pad and finish it off with a orbital buffer with a micro fiber pad for my glaze my brother is the best I've seen with black and I'm good enough and never had any complaints I hate when people try to polish black and don't get the scratches out and it's muddy looking and full of swirl marks there is so many more products as far as paint and polishing and yes back in the 70s the finest sand paper was 600 grit and only corse compound I'd love to come work with you guys and we could learn from one another you could show me some new stuff and I could show you some old paint tricks we used to blend both clear and single stage paint so many people had trouble blending clear back in the 80s it would leave a halo effect where you blended it but I solved that problem buy using a hotter reducer dupont imron reducer was the key. And it's still better then any blender they have on the market it's hotter and burns in. Great video guys

    My Aunt and Uncle had a 74 Monte Carlo with the 454 in black on black. I always thought that it was a beautiful car. I was pissed when one of my stupid cousins snuck out one night taking the Monte Carlo and getting drunk and totaling the car. He was so afraid of my Uncle’s ire, he went and joined the army the next day. Dumb ass. I’d love to have one today. Wouldn’t need to be a show car but a nice daily would be great. Swapped to a modern LS and four speed automatic so you got decent mileage and reliable transportation. There are several great suspension packages to make the handle well. You might have to drop $30k to get it really right but today $30k doesn’t buy even a shit box of a new car. Might as well have a classic car.
