Props to Charlie for filling those holes and keeping the headliner intact. You really do have a great team around you to help with the more difficult parts of your build.
Wow!
It's been YEARS since I have seen lead work, not many people know that ART anymore.
And yes, it IS an ART!
It is a slowly dying art. Learned a bit about it 45+ years ago when dad worked at the Paint/Body shop at the local Ford dealership, gota have some skill to get it correct.
Try building a super car from scratch and Henrique Carvalho managed to do it! How much was it? Approximately $3 million dollars but hey if you want to compete with Porsche or Bugatti, you have to start somewhere!
@@NormanF62 lead is toxic, so industry probably switched to the safer product
Lead work is the way to go, it actually bonds to the car and can flex eith the body. When a body twists slightly, bomdo can pop right off.
@@machinist7230 Agree, but properly applied thin layer of bondo becomes pretty well bonded too. Depending on where exactly on the car you put it, it can last just as well.
I'm telling ya, this is a SEMA show piece!!
I'm impressed by the sheer number of niche, high-complexity skills that you use on these projects every day. The fact that you seem to demonstrate zen master level RESULTS on all of them is AMAZING. Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Sarah 🥳🎉🎂
I loved how Sarah was in a full hazmat suit in the paint booth and Fred was in jeans and a t shirt. 😊
Haha, he was only in there for a sec to try out the PPG stuff
@@SarahnTuned Still a very funny scene. Like something out of the Odd Couple. 😁
Happy Birthday
As an old panelbeater. "autobody repairman" from the UK.. Metal Finishing and Lead Fill was the way I was taught.... Never used Bodyfiller.... If a panel could not be repaired, then we made it.. I am now 72 yrs young and offered my skill set to teach others .. And have been told a number of times, your skills are no longer used...just replace the damaged panel and bodyfill... I learnt my skillset in a old-school shop with a 6 year apprenticeship..
Check out retropower in the Uk. Keeping these old skills alive alongside modern tech.
I appreciate how Sarah is all suited up in the paint booth and Fred is just in there like it's just another day 😂
Haha, he just wanted to see how the PPG epoxy sprayed since he never tried it before. He was only in there a sec.
@@SarahnTuned I was laughing cause that's how I look when I spray small jobs
Fred has an internal BA installed!
“Automotive ASMR” 🤣 Amazing amount of work and those body repairs were fascinating. Happy 38th Birthday! 🎂 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
@@joemanco5864 it’s 2023, no one gives a shit about that anymore lol
@@SarahnTuned Hey now... we all care!
It’s a shame to see skills like that disappearing. Thank you for showing what can be done.
That thing is turning out so sick, Sarah. This series has been fantastic. Cheers.
It's going to be one mean beast when Sarah as finished with it. I'd love to take it for a test drive when it's complete.
'sick' means to vomit or feel unwell...
@@bugattieb110ss 😂😂
Every attention to detail pays off in the end.
Sarah, when you pour the paint. Open the tin. Then grab some masking tape in a V-shape across the top. Stuck flat to the tin.
Cover the edge. Then when you pour, it pours from a single point. No drips. No mess. Peel off the tape and the lid goes onto a clean surface too!
Thanks two bits of masking tape. It’s a game changer. You’re welcome.
Oh thanks i'll remember that. Although things i paint are usually 1/24th the size.
@@SianaGearz You get to use 1:24 scale tape for a 1:24th scale tin. I now picture you as a 1:24 scale tiny person who drives 1:24 scale car. That’s kinda cool.
Happy Birthday, Sarah!
I was just a trainee mechanic (50-something now) when I last watched someone do lead work. I actually thought it would be a lost art by now. It was so nice to see all that buckled rear corner back to it's former sweet lines.
This build gets more exciting with each episode!
Happy Birthday Sarah, wishing you much success and your dreams/wishes coming true!
Your attention to detail on these builds is incredible, after watching builds that just cut and weld fresh metal, or even use fibreglass replacement panels, it's a breath of fresh air to see the old school approach being kept alive.
attention to details with OEM parts is needed....indeed!!
Blows my mind that your car didn’t immediately flash rust. The joys of living in the desert I guess? As always Loooove your videos. Have a great one.
Eric
The humidity is in the single digits. So dry my eyes are like chalk every morning.
Showing the prep needing to do a paint job the right way is awesome content. Love the production touches you put into your vids, lots of work and it makes your vids SO much better than others. Congrats on the new gun !
This will be the best prepared Celica ever.
That lead technique was cool to watch! That indeed looks like a lost art.
Sarah, it’s great to have these specialists that come and help. Nobody does everything well. Having those who specialize in jobs to help is a big deal. You get a better project and they get recognition and promotion for their help, win, win! Glad as always to see Charlie helping! Go Team Sarah!
Time might be money, but money might not be time. 🧠 Never stop doing the right thing, Sarah. 👍
It's amazing and fun to watch this project progress but I cannot fathom how "time is money" can be a factor. I'd love to see the actual cost by the time SCHarah ❤is finished. Would this even be possible without a half million subs? I'm guessing it's comparable to a new Bentley.
Your attention to detail is a great attribute and inspirational. The epoxy coat came out great. Charlie welding those roof holes was a big relief. Happy Birthday! Thanks for another great video.
I am a huge fan of your Channel Sarah. Watching every episode for 4-5 years. Greetings from Scandinavia.
Thanks!
If you drill a hole in your pump sprayer. You can install a bolt-in Schrader valve and pressurize it with shop air.
Great work as always between Charlie,you and the “Lord of Lead”. Keep that dying technique going
Dang Sarah I am impressed at you taking this lead work on. I am willing to bet you are protected 10 times better than the old timers were when they were out slinging lead for body work. The car is making great progress. Bravo!
Just saw some pictures from the 70s Volvo factory paint street The only protection for the workers was a cotton cap with earflaps. Crazy from today's standards.
One well known lead slinger only lived to about 90 from not wearing protection.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!! You look AMAZING! =)
safety first! thank for protecting our inspirational - YOU!
I can't imagine the labor charge for that!! Fred is incredibly talented!!!
you and speedacademy are both doing old school celica builds. absolutely love it
Your video's keep getting better with all the different processes (old style and new) you show us. Thank you for your passion with car restoration.
Perfect work, as always.
Oh and btw. happy Birthday "old" girl 🎂😉
Stangly enough, when Sarah pumped that pump ...I enjoyed it!😃😃
Happy Birthday Sarah!
A great effort with great results. Once again I'm learning something new
the feet action while spraying was legend ;)
After just binging “Ted Lasso” I can’t unsee Charlie as Coach Beard.
Happy Birthday, Sarah! I don't know bodywork at all, but the time and attention taken to get this right AND make a well produced vlog to document it is nothing short of amazing. To see someone as young as you so devoted to vanishing artisan work like this is so impressive. Kudos to you, Charlie and Fred!
That lead work is incredible, it's really remarkable to see on video! I didn't know anyone still worked with lead outside of factory manufacturing. The Celica looks superb now Sarah, once again incredible work and progress. Appreciate the time this took to film and edit on top of squaring away all the details in this restoration.
glad to see that someone actualy will go the extra 10 miles to do things right from prep work to lead body filling! much respect to you.
Your eye for detail is impressive. So is your unwillingness to cut corners. This is project is turning out fantastic.
I apreciat people who still do the lost art's of craftsmanship, keeping old school alive!
Patience is a virtue.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH! (Sorry, didn't mean to yell) the car is coming along splendidly.
Wow, I can't get enough of this project, bravo guys!
To all the folks working this... treasure this project and all like it. You are at the top of your class, and are performing artwork on vehicles. This will be the most satisfying work days of your careers
Great job Sarah your attitude and attention to detail is always a pleasure to watch.🇦🇺👍🤗
"Get the lead out" Sarah!! Well done work on the qtr panel!! Woooo Hooooooo!!
What a skillful team! It’s really impressive watching each of you work and the attention to detail. Happy B-day Sarah!
Happy Birthday. Today is a Technotronic reference. I love the music references you have in some of your videos
There was even a bit of Mr T in there too 😁
Lead working was how they would seem together body panels in the 70s kinda like this, that’s so cool
I’ve never seen leading being done before. It’s quite a skill. It’s nice seeing such teamwork between all of you. I love your channel!!
that car is so much fun to drive I can hardly wait for the next review
I will say again you are the most therell person I’ve seen when your doing a project, I enjoy anything you do because there’s not many that takes that much effort in finishing a car.
Nice to see that the weather is warming there.
That's awesome you did the old technique of leading the imperfections instead of bondo, this is a true restomod!
sick collaborative effort from everyone, gonna be a maaaaaaaaad car
Just got here.. was watching Fred do his thing on their channel.
Limp Bizkit and Technotronic references. Basically my playlists as a kid and teenager through the 90s
Happy birthday Sarah
You guys all have mad skillz!! Very impressive 👏
I was going to ASMR comment then you popped up with a "WOW!!!" Killed it.
I enjoyed Fred’s video on the lead work.
Lead is old school for a reason. The paint doesn't like to stick and is famous for peeling. That's why the top shops don't use it anymore. Witnessed that too many times to ever consider using it on any of my projects. Throw in the toxic part and it seems like a no brainer. A fully welded seam with filler lasts decades without cracking if properly applied.
I would pay for Sarah to rebuild but it's difficult to think of anyone else doing. Love your dedication to the minutia.
Oh wow - lead filling is definitely a dying art; very cool Fred can do it.
Your attention to detail is a joy to watch 😁
Happy Birthday Sarah!!! Your attention to detail will make this another awesome project.
'Fire in the Hole'...excellent Steely Dan track!!
I feel honoured to have witnessed lead work -- something I knew nothing about until today but is obviously very skilled work that requires an artist's touch :) I absolutely LOVE Sarah's attention to detail and refusal to cut corners. It shows so much respect for these old cars and their creators.
Pretty sure your lead is actually tin, at least in Germany it's always been tin.
Love the celica series!
Mad respect
If you keep making great videos like this the 1 million subscribers level will be soon!
Your attention to detail is impeccable!
Happpppy birthday Sarah 🥳
Leading is an art that needs to be taught. Even with all the Hazards.
Yay!! Another Sarah-n-Tuned!
Nicely done everyone
Happy birthday Sarah🎉😊❤
Great team effort in this one Sarah. I have to say the lead work looks fantastic and an interesting process.
This is going to be such a great build when completed.
My autobody teacher used a wooden paddle soaked in motor oil to smooth out the lead. That was back in 1980.
Watched this lunchtime at work it's now the evening and I still have Pump up the jam running through my brain, thanks Sarah. Nice bit of lead work, been years since I had a go and I can understand Charlie's nervousness.
Thank you Sarah!
Brilliant. You are all putting serious skill and care into this. Thanks for taking the extra time to document it all for us.
Sarah’s attention to detail is very special. I appreciate the thoroughness.
By all means, film or show more. I love this stuff.
You’re my hero Sarah! My first car was a 76’ Celica GT and I enjoyed every minute I spent with her. Of all the work I did, I remember finding the little clips for the chrome trim around the front windscreen to be the most difficult parts search on the entire car. I’m glad I found your channel today & I look forward to the rest of your resto. All the best from Australia...
There is a very hard worker in that GR86 shirt!
You’re doing awesome work on this car, as usual…thanks for all these great videos! And Happy Birthday Pretty Lady!

I don't know a single body shop that does this level of prep work. Most of us are lucky to find a shop that washes off bird poop before painting.
Coming along nicely, fred did a awesome job on the arse end as did charlie fixing.those holes on the
R😂😂F, the roof ,the roof !!!!
That's my evening viewing sorted, nice!
Tip leave a stirring stick in the can preferebly a metal one when pouring a full can . It helps direct the paint into your mixing receptacle
Happy Birthday Sarah,and what a great video as its been ages since I have seen leading work. Great job and great project.
Whoa. Amazing work. This Celica is world class.
