Hey guys I'm gonna be heading to Clarksville Tennessee for about a year or so on a solar project. I got a 99 suburban I would like for you all to work on if interested?
Chrome is awesome. A lot of respect for the work and effort that goes into it. Restoring stainless though. That takes a special kind of person. Literally. I've seen my dad take some of the most mangled and dented stainless trim and make it flawless or near to it. Even he has a line though. I've also seen him look at people and pretty much tell them they're screwed lol.
I had some piping that needed some dipping. Chrome, copper, stainless restoration. I went to drop it off a d lost the whole day on a tour and watching them work. It's really a lot of work to do it well.
Having done a few of those vinyl tops, I can confirm what Tommy said about it being easier to put a top on without the windshield. I will make a note that the way Tommy and Joel put that top on is not wrong, it is also not the way I was taught to put a vinyl top on. As the way I was taught was to use a dowel rode or yard stick, to keep from getting wrinkles in the top as you put it down because once you got it down you was not getting it back up to take that wrinkle out.
have a '70 caprice and i wanna redo all the vinyl interior. What pressurized gun did you use? What glue did you use? Where can you buy large pieces of vinyl like that?
Tommy and Joel, your trip to Advanced Plating in Portland Tennessee was extremely interesting to watch and learn about chrome plating. I sure wouldn’t mind in a second to own Fat Stack!
I have never owned a car from the 1960s , the closest I've got was a 1970 Buick Centurion . And even though it weighed as much as a full-size pickup , it still went like a bat out of hell with a 454 engine .
I love those style of cars, they're cool for some reason they have an appeal to them, I don't mind the vinyl top but it seems weird to me that they would put one on after knowing all the problems they can cause and have caused on previous cars. Especially when they mention to do away with them in other projects. I'm a huge fan of LS motors but for some reason I lost interest in this project after a saw that power plant for it, to me it doesn't seem to fit the car. I don't know big car maybe put a big block in it? To me it seems like a better fit, but maybe that's just me
From watching their videos over the years, they usually have Sonax come in on an episode to cut and polish. They used to use Mothers in their early seasons.
@@aaron62877 It’s pretty bad orange peel, I know 4K TVs are making it harder on them than it once was, but I hope they’ve got someone coming in to fix it. My family owned a specialty restoration shop for 30 years and we would’ve never let a vehicle leave with paint looking like that.
@@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr. I agree, it is bad. I've been watching all of their shows since they first started on spike TV. Pretty much every build they do a cut and buff episode. Have to make content somehow. 😆 It is always "we are using Sonax's new line of materials".
Booooo vinyl roof. I do not know why you would want your car to look like a convertible with the top up all the time. Is when its top is up when a convertible is at its best?! NO!
When they painted the top of this car black and I realized they were going to put a vynal top on this car I was really disappointed and really lost interest. I've still been watching it but I was dreading this day.
All the cry baby haters with the vinyl top just crack me up 😂 keep doing what you’re doing T and J, car looks great and so does that roof! can’t wait to see this thing all the way done!

Absolutely love this restoration.

Anybody besides me like to see the fender skirts left off of Fat Stack!!!
I have a 71 caprice 4 door. I appreciate this build insight. I’ve been tuning in since the beginning, and each video has been helpful. I
Thanks for that in-depth plating section. Really fascinating to see what and how much goes into it.
It's great that some states still allow plating shops.
This car is going to be a show stopper! LS fest it should be shown and Holley power tour maybe!
Great. And now I want I wildcat.
Thanks for this video, I've been looking for a Chrome restoration shop for my car parts.
I bet the owner is going to want it back. I know I would
Vinyl top looks SHARP! I was afraid it was going to have that cheesy black painted roof
🙏🏾 I need my 1972 Oldsmobile cutlass done like that 🏆keep up the great work
That is so beautiful 😍 I'm still in love 😍
But Tommy it is elegant

You guys are awesome congratulations on A beautiful baby 👶
Perhaps rather than "elegant," you mean "original." 🙂 Looks great! ❤

Where did you purchase the replacement vinyl top material? I have a 1970 Impala that I need to replace the material on.
Just heads up those wheels are supposed to be directional. They're installed backwards. Love the build though guys. Keep up the good work!
That plating process is complicated and interesting
Please do a 79 Caprice Classic Areo Coup. 2 door wrap around back glass.

Buick didn't come with a 454, that was Chevrolet. But thanks for playing.
...I thought the vinyl top seams ran down with the roof line about eight inches from the gutter rails?
Looks sick boys
I'm not a fan of vinyl tops but it looks good from my point of view.
do you guys sale this car after done? very interested in buying
I think I would have left the top black
Vinyl tops are so 1970s... At least they didn't put polished chrome wheels on it!

Dosen't matter how they do it if I touch it , it WILL turn green !
God I hate vinyl tops.They look like crap compared to nice shiny paint and all they're good for is causing rot
Nostalgia, that's all it is...
I preferred the black paint top. If it eas my car I would have gone with white paint top.
not a fan of oversized cars but it is growing on me.
Would like to put a Vinyl Top on our 1996 Caprice Classic >
Why no mention of the 67 427 SS Impala ?
It may be my tv but it looks like Fatstack has horrible amounts orange peel in the paint. Are you going to wet sand and buff the car?
That’s what I was thinking. Figured they would have done that before the chrome work went on..
From watching their videos over the years, they usually have Sonax come in on an episode to cut and polish. They used to use Mothers in their early seasons.

Why with the vinyl top boys?...
Amazing work guys keep up the amazing work 🫡🫡😁
Not elegant, it’s got “class”!
How much is this car worth?
I do not like vinyl tops at all
Booooo vinyl roof. I do not know why you would want your car to look like a convertible with the top up all the time. Is when its top is up when a convertible is at its best?! NO!
😎👍

Throttle up.
Vinyl top is a big mistake after all the work, IMHO. Love the car but also feel the green should have been real dark metallic, also, IMHO.
Agreed, I would have left the roof ruster out
Really don’t like the wheels and I would have painted the car the same oem color great job!
All the cry baby haters with the vinyl top just crack me up 😂 keep doing what you’re doing T and J, car looks great and so does that roof! can’t wait to see this thing all the way done!
Hexavalent chrome...mmm the really good cancer causing type.
Chrome and a vinyl roof are a no from me. Never understood why people like chrome so much.
Holy crap , the orange peel is horrible
Ruined it with that vinyl top
I don't really like chrome, honestly.
Booo Hisss vinyl top
Got rid of nine on a'70 442 and it never looked better...
