ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- Not too shabby for a car I bought off the side of the road! Made some major improvements in the cosmetic department and also tidied up a few more mechanical issues. My new daily driver! For now.....
This channel is going to have one video that’s going to be his big break and this channel is going to get the real recognition that he deserves.
Just in the passed month or so he's nearly doubled his subscribers. He's definitely on the come up.
He definitely deserves it
I'd say he got it lol! It was when he bought the car. That video has 163k views
And his vloging is on point as well !!!
As far as I'm concerned, this was the video for me. It was random that it came across my page. So I watched it, and liked it. So now he has another new sub!! 😊
I know the channel is the car but has anybody noticed he looks even more riveting with the shave?? Mrs. gotta love that!! Wish I could afford to buy a car done by you!!!!!!!!! Incredible work!
Im a Mustang based channel but ive been hooked on the cts-v content.
I literally binge watched all of it in a few hours and im now like a junky waiting for more.
Sorry bout your car
@@Sh1tzboutagodown😂😂😂 I love my foxbody.
Stumbled across your channel and can’t get enough of it. Finally a channel that gets straight to business and shows the struggles of being a car enthusiast. Keep up the great content
Thanks Brotha!
As an owner of a Gen 2 CTS having previously owned a Gen 1, this whole video series was amazing. That is one badass ride!! Great work!
What an AMAZING Transformation, Chris!! Your workmanship is impeccable!! Another nice rebuild brother!!
Crazy how a good detail keeps you watching to the end. Lol you’re doin it right bro. Love that freaking car!
Chris, awesome job on the Caddi. You can also take just a regular beard trimmer with no guard and it’ll take care of the peeling on those seats. Also, you can find some regular old spray paint for plastics that match your color of seats, dip a corner of a rag into acetone and spray that same spot with the paint and touch up those stains. There’s a video on TH-cam of a guy who does this with his vehicles and it looks stellar considering cost and effort that goes into it. Looking forward to your future videos!
As the owner of an 06 STS for the last ten years & now she's got 206k on her and still strong. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and you have gain a sub from your hard work and dedication to your car.
Thanks man!
Needs some tint on the windows 😮💨😍 amazing work !! Maybe a little bit of PDR as well, cars shinny for those dents
That came out really nice and you got a great deal on your V. I bought mine with 130k miles and it had a lot of small issues (almost the exact same ones you had) and paid 11.5k a year ago. Great job man!
Really appreciate your enthusiasm for this model car. It is an under the radar rocking ride!. Keep up the good work.
Aw man you absolutely HAVE to make your reverse lights LED it makes any car with bold reverse taillights look AMAZING I hope you consider
You have some of the cleanest rides man,love how the Caddy turned out thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching!
your work is like the garage..clean..you deserve many more subs/views..but keep on with the killer cars/content..peace..
A master of many trades! As a detailer, when you said you were going to buff and polish the car In my head I was like “oh gawd”.. but to my surprise you have a lot of attention to detail and patience. Great work all around brother, don’t stop doing you 🤙🤙
Wow!!! a 2004 caddy CTSV, He cleaned and repaired to mint condition!!! beautiful car
Bro who are you? This dude is literally the jack of all trades! Keep pushing man love the content!
I totally missed you working on this car. I guess because i didn’t start watching you videos when you had the red Vette. I really like the what you do when you do what you do, car wise. 😀😀😀😀
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a 2005 CTS with busted brake lines at all 4 corners!!
Dude I want one of these so bad!! Found your channel from the E63 videos and been watching ever since! Keep doing your thing!
I was throwing a MAF code on my V1 a few weeks ago, and after cleaning the MAF, checking all the clamps, it was still coming back. I read online that sometimes the intake mani bolts just need to be tightened a 1/2 turn. It worked for me, been 3-4 weeks since. Might be worth checking out if it comes back on you.
Glad this popped up on my recommendation, that car is just a beauty. My dream car, one day I’ll get it
Chris great attention to detail.
I know I have OCD,
THANK u from nyc
Well done.
You do an excellent job.
Great tutorial on how to do.
It is excellent to see Yankee ingenuity.
Be safe and blessings to you and your family.
The car Gods are looking down and smiling at you bro!!! She is coming along nicely
From start to finish, this was a pleasure to watch. And Im a bummer dude.
That's absolutely awesome. You have a brand new 2006 Cadillac CTS-V. Great video you've inspired me to detail my 1989 Mustang LX.
3 m double sided foam pads for quick release/ buy the adapter/ 3 m 36060 compound. Them nu finish with a palm sander / da with 6” black 3 m foam pad to apply the wax and remove swirls. You’ll save sooooo much time you’ll actually start smiling and being happy while you polish. Just letting you know my little tricks from 43 years of experience and trying products over the years
I hope your channel takes off asap. great content so far 👍 definitely deserve more views/exposure!!
I really enjoyed watching this car come to life
Mad respect for being able to not only do the work, but be able to document it and put together great editing. I am pretty handy at restoration and restomod work, but I can't do a video to save my life! Lol, great work!
Holy shit! Congratulations on quite the transformation.
What you’ve done with this car has been absolutely insane. Great job Chris!
Thanks man!
@@ChrisSullivan69 Would love to see you buy some sort of Mopar and give it your magic!
‼️👉CTS-V IS CLEAN BRO WELCOME TO THE CTS-V CLUB😎
He's not in the club. It's getting flipped.
Great job! Thoroughly enjoyed this project, thanks for taking us along with you 👍🏻
awesome transformation. Only things I would do if I were you is paint-less dent removal for dents Grey mats for the interior and Clyde’s leather balm to clean up the dye and cracks in the leather seats. All these imperfections fixed would make the car perfect In my opinion
LiquidWET L👀KIN!!!! Phenomenal job! Now I want one!
What a transformation went from a bad ride to a badass ride!
Hi Chris , not sure if you knew it but hand sanitizer will take sap right off. Future tip if you didn’t know
I love the tan floor Matts it looks nice .
I'm completely hooked on this channel! Forget Hulu and Netflix...lol, and I'm learning while enjoying! Excellent work!!
Hey Chris I've. Been. Watching u're videos. For. About. A week. I have. A 1968. Camaro. R s convertible u're 1969 Camaro. Drew. Me in. I love. What u do. U should. Verry proud. Of. U're self. I've. Watched. Almost. All. I think. I love what. U do. Great videos. Thank. U
Yes. I did subscribe
Love the content!! Fellow New Englander here (Merrimack, NH) now in KY. Your knowledge and way to explain everything step by step and break it down plus your video’s are expert quality!
My new favorite subscribe!
Thanks!
My personal favorite is the black, all weather Caddy floor mats! Great jog on the detail.
As soon as I saw the 0 to 1 MPH I was like...... Pause. MY MAN!!!!!! It's the things like this that make me happy for guy's like you.
Big moment lol
@@ChrisSullivan69 This video was filled with nothing but WIN'S. No corner was cut and it seems you have worked out every kink. I too bought a 16 year old car this year. A 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT and I will say I also got one hell of a deal. Not nearly as cheap as you got but no way could mine be built for what I paid for it. I'm loving the channel brotha man and the direction it's headed.
I’m gonna assume we are close to the same age as our taste in car is virtually identical. ‘82 baby here.
Aww, not the E. So long AMG. I also have an 06 in Silver. Great work on the channel. Keep up the good work.
Love it man. Beautiful job.
I've got an 07 STS. What I wouldn't do for an STS-V.
Maybe I'll see you on the road sometime. I'm from Jaffrey.
I hope to see some companies support your channel. Dry ice blaster and vapor blaster would be sweet additions for your garage
That would be cool
Nice work it's amazing how well it came out and how much newer the car looks now that it is been completely detailed, yes the later model looks good but you can see that the V1 was the start of something special, and it is what started it all !!!
Hey Chris what's up I've never rwlly won anything so I'd appreciate it
Super job. Simply put, WOW.
Man! This content is so good. Been binge watching all your vids
Loved watching this build. I am actually looking at a 06 for 6k. For sure needs clutch no other info guy bought it at an auction so as long as everything looks good when I go check it out tomorrow it will hopefully be comming home with me. It has 109k miles not sure what cam it has but it does have one long tube headers and corsa exhaust. There'd also an 04 I'm looking at for 11k with 120k miles if this 06 falls through. Been watching a ton of videos learning all I can about them and learning what to watch out for
I have a 2004 CTS base 3.2 liter with a 5-speed manual great channel can relate to the car
How could you watch this man's work and not subscribe💯💪👈
Thanks how do I contact you to claim
Dude is too arrogant for me, so not subscribing is no problem.
You should add a drill brush to your interior arsenal. They do a FANTASTIC job!
Looks fantastic. Wish I could say I’d never been there; buying an accessory in the moment, only to realize I’d overlooked a small detail (like color match).
Well done, Chris. Love your videos and they are SO damn interesting. You are a talent, my friend. Keep up the great content. Videos are well put together and you make even novice car guys understand what you are doing and why. Awesome!
MAN!!!!, Looks Great!!!, Love this Gen. Caddy., Enjoy.Mike
Congratulations in advance on reaching 10k subs. I really enjoy your content👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Love your videos brother. Very detailed and you explain it all very well. Little Rock Arkansas here and I’m tuned in. Waiting on completion of the ole skool.
From Chicago you are the truth💯💪👈
What an epic save, job well done. My only suggestion is to take the steamer and blast that drivers side seat belt. Can’t wait for the next video 🤘🏼
It looks soooooooo damn good! Have you thought about black floor mats? Would hide stains easier and contras well with dash, shifter boot and door panels. I really enjoy these videos! Looking forward to the next!
As a former owner of an '05 CTS-V and an OG member of CTSV-1's vs The world... Well fucking done brother. I've since moved on from my V1 to an ATS-V but this one makes me wish I could rip it again. *hat tip*
Car came out awesome looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor! You do great work for sure! Keep pushing forward
Stunning! Way to bring it home. If you're worried about the small dings I'm sure they could get pulled pretty easy from a shop who does hail damage for a few hundred bucks.
Agreed, I had a real bad ding on the crease in my passenger side front door, but Sniper Dent in Lubbock got it out, you can't even tell!
what an unbelievable job. You're killing this. a true enthusiast i love it!
Man, you did an excellent job on this car! You have inspired me to work on my 2003 INFINITI M45! It needs paint, valve cover gasket and carpet (the only bad place is the driver's side carpet and seat).
Simply Superb Amigo! nothing like DIY'ing. Great job Chris. Clean ass ride man!
Really like what your doing, man. Camera work is great. Shows a lot of folks how to take care of cars. Keep up the excellence
Awesome! Well done my friend, love your get down to business style! Get gray mats.
Car looks F'n GREAT!!!!!!! A lot of time and effort ... AWESOME JOB!
Dang, nice camera work! Good comparisons between the old and new hoses etc.
Much love & respect from NC 💯💯
YES ANOTHER ONE! Love this build bro I’m glad you were able to solve those two issues for free!
Brought that baby back to life
This channel needs to blow up. Your content is way better than itsjusta6. That dude became a pompous asshole that just enjoys showing off all his vehicles but doesn’t actually work on them. Keep this content coming.
Great job I have the 06 and they hold up well and I'm just a lil over 100k mi and still cool with it
Been waiting to get home to watch this , super dope 🙏🏼
again - great and informative video and channel...you have a fulltime job, a house to maintain and a social life...would like more videos, but not sure how you do all this now ...and I thought I was busy! keep up the good work. BTW - good videos
That was a quick 5K subs. Keep it going man! Great work you're doing!
'were talking four hundred and fifty dollars in emblems, which to me, for this right here, absolutely outrageous' lmao. truer words have never been spoken. good grab with the Amazon badges. they look mint
Gorgeous ride!! Keep it up man I’ll be watching!!
Awesome transformation looking to get a project like this in a few months glad I found your videos great job
I recently sold my cls550 had k&n filters, box riser mod, aluminum charge pipes and exhaust man i miss the sound of that mercedes v8. Now im just trying to figure out what i want to replace it, been heavily thinking about a v thanks to you.
The CTSV looks great. Have a 2004 CTS myself, white diamond paint, but I love the color of yours.
You definitely did your thing plus a little luck to find the right flip helps
Appreciate the attention to detail..love that car
This channel needs to blow. Dude videos are underrated 🔥🔥
Playa! I have two give you 2 thumbs up ! I don’t even like Cadillacs and you got me watching you make so incredible that I am actually considering looking at one . Good Job ! Keep it 100 .
3 m 05729 6” foam Velcro pad for removing swirls on a da. 3 m 05707 black pad for heavy cut. 3 m 05708 blue pad for fine cut buy I never really use it unless a customer asks for two steps before I remove swirls. Also use the fine cur with the 6” pad to remove swirls and the 6” for the nu finish you’ll be happy
This video is a pillar of what it means to put in a little hard work and get something amazing on the other end. This went from side of the road shitbox to one of the cleanest 1st gen CTS-Vs out there. Love the content brotha!
Appreciate it man. Worth it in the end
@@ChrisSullivan69 You ever message people on Telegram?
@@bensmith9132 no. Appears to be spam. I've been reporting them as I see them
Once again love these videos! I wish you could find a fox body that would be fun to watch. Great work on the paint correction looks wet !
Chris, first time viewer and it won’t be the last. Great job on the car. There is a great product I’m seeing out there for leather restoring which is not expensive and does a great job. It’s called Clyde’s leather restorer. It dyes and colors the Hyde’s. Keep up the good content.
I've been following this project from the beginning and it makes me mad. Here's why. I had a gen 1 CTSV. I saved up enough money for a down payment and a little for some mods. It was my first dream car. I had it for almost three years. Then tragedy struck. My wife lost her job, we had a kid, and I had to take a lower paying job at work. The easy way out was to get rid of the V for something more practical. Because of our situation my credit had suffered and could only trade it in at a sketchy dealership. I only owed 8k for and still had to pay them. It hurt and still does. Now I'm ready to get my dream car back and I can't find one under 13k. In my search I found your videos. To find out you only paid 5k makes me mad. For real congratulations on the car. It's turning out amazing. I hope some day I can get another one.
Props to you for having your priorities straight! I'm sure you'll find another one
Hey Brotha, I love how she turned out! I just bought my CTS V V1 same year, same color stelth gray with charcoal interior and a 6speed, and she’s mint!
I live in Mass. I’d love to get together sometime so I can show it to you!
MAN that turned out so nice. Great job
Nice job man! Hell of a buy! Damn good work on your end!
