    What was your parent's daily driver that you remember the most as a child? Maybe the one you took on family road trips. Mine was our 1990 Chevy Suburban that finally replaced the 72 SkyLark.

      Growing up in El Salvador, we had a Datsun 620 wagon in yellow, can't remember what year it was though. It was manual with a column shifter and it was awesome, that thing would go just about anywhere. That was the first car that I actually drove by myself, followed by a bunch of VW Buses and a Ford courier (the bed on that thing was hanging in for dear life! 😂)

    As a non practicing autobody graduate of Apex Technical School in NYC, during the mid 80s. Its amazing to see the evolution of materials, tools, and techniques as they do their best to keep up with the ever changing ways cars are put together. I'm also impressed by the resilience of the ubiquitous slide hammer's adaptation to thinner sheetmetal by still being effective without having to puncture holes, thus leaving the paintwork intact.
    Back in the day, the technique used to repair the door panel was more commonly used to fix vinyl tops on your brand father's Cadillac Coupe De Ville.

  • @ronlheureux7623
    @ronlheureux7623 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I absolutely love this type of repairing paint scratches. I'm a 72 y.o. car guy from Ca. I have owned countless cars over the decades. (Motorcycles too) For many years I have been polishing out superficial scratches on my vehicle. At first, I bought a regular rubbing compound, a bad idea. About 20 years ago I had a neighbor that was the body shop manager at a Ford dealer and he smuggled out a bottle of pro polishing compound, magic. Along with quality was, of course.
    When you made your initial assesments of what damage would require bodywork and repainting, I knew that you were wrong about what that could be done with a polisher and whatever else they chose for media and waxes. In the last year, I bought a 6.5" polisher and held my breath. Surprise! It's not that difficult to use. TH-cam has lots of instructional videos. Currently, I own a 2006 CTS Sport/Luxury with 85K on it that looks like new. If I get a scratch or scuff, no big deal. Recently I bought a 3" polisher for getting into tight areas and love it.
    I do have to say that your wife's Escalade is simply stunning. For 30K, you really scored. Well done!
