Folks do not appreciate just how much work goes into block sanding and all the other prep work !
It's physically draining work

[@Laird.RangerdyneSystems]

Just found your channel. Getting ready to do body and paint on my '66 Q code Thunderbird, I've done some body and paint over the years, but you guys have taught me some great new techniques.. I'm looking forward to future episodes. Thanks guys!

[@scottsherrard]

In the 70s 80s and 90s they didn’t know how to use a hammer and dolly. Really? You have to use acrylic blocks. Really?
So I guess there have never been any straight show cars until the 2020s when people figured out how to use a hammer and dolly and bought acrylic blocks.
It’s not what block you use, it’s knowing how to use it. You need to get out more and stop thinking your way is the only way.

[@shonwilliams9800]

Great work guys. Really appreciate how you teach. Keep the the videos coming.

[@juansolano3306]

👍

[@checolate9680]

Too much Bondo to my liking.

[@Jasonkatzz-s4i]

No difference to what high build primer does. His not bogging giant dints with it

[@ajd5363]

The problem is you don’t explain when to stop sanding.

[@timhudson8958]

For long panel flatning I use a 36” 4” PVC pipe with 2 3/4” sticky back sand paper with a long x crossing pattern of stroke.

7:08 SO GOOD!!!

[@gje5656]

Hello Mackey just found your channel subscribe to it I have a question for you what do you do when you have a oil can on your roof of a car any suggestions would be appreciated

[@russdavis1960]

9:17.....
Slightly better than 'cave and pave'...

[@FE428Power]

Now i know how to correctly choose a block! TY

[@ethancorriere]

AWESOME!!!

[@tabbott429]

Those 59 wings are crazy for doing bodywork. I did my 58 Bel Air and often thought of doing a 59 but i see the PITA factor of those horizontal fins and Ill pass!

[@tabbott429]

I lost 15 lbs in a few months restoring my 58 Chevy. All that sanding burns serious calories!

[@toddclark332]

Yes sir big memories thanks for the updates and videos Brain looking really good 👍 ❤ ok guy's have a badass work week later

[@Bee7Gee]

😂 Biggest Block Ever

[@MackeysHotRodShop]

Bigger kid blocks

[@chrishall8142]

3 wipes on a roof skin suggests metal work wasn’t great .. you also need to wipe filler in with a much larger applicator .

[@samh6972]

Agreed. Body filler is WAY too thick on this car. Not to mention, they're gonna put polyester primer over top of it. Should have spent more time with the hammer and dolly for sure.

[@bernardkroeger4045]

I'm not sure I am at ease with that much filler either. I guess it's all about the intended purpose of the finished vehicle. For me durability is the word.

[@curtismcfadden9674]

Great content glad I found your channel!!

[@geo611]

Whatza milameatre?

[@darrenbealeofficial]

Awesome channel guys!

[@MackeysHotRodShop]

Thank you

[@calvin.miller]

Just found this channel. Subbed after 1 video. You guys are legit.
Ive been doing paint/body for a long time. I feel i do good work because i never advertise and work finds me. I only do specialized high end custom stuff. I am always a fan of learning new things. I never considered powdercoating an entire vehicle but it seems so much easier and overall better. The parts that don't get painted can just be left in powdercoat vs all the steps involved in Starting from bare metal and building all the layers, starting with epoxy and working your way up to paint......... brilliant!
Great work guys!
