    I feel like I've just gone through a 2 year Masters course in 35 minutes! Watching you and friends rip is like having my skull opened up and knowledge poured in. God bless you and yours my friend 😎

    46 years retired autobody man here. Love watching what I can't do anymore, (health). I patched rust the same way you do, but couldn't compete in most "dealer" shops. I was too slow doing "quality" repairs, sorta bothered me doing crappy work. I was a stickler for quality, therefore I never had a comeback for a do over. Had a few rattles come back, but no repair issues. But, I was sought after by customers who knew "My type of quality repairs" afterwards. If you want to have "fun" try working on a Silver Cloud. Man are those owners picky. I done one BLASTED (T-Boned) passenger side. It should have been totaled, but the cost of the car prevented that. Took me a little over 3 months to repair. I live in Michigan (Rust Belt) I hate rust repairs. I am a Chevy guy, My 2003 S-10 extended cab (4.3/.342 gears, auto tranny, 2 whl. drive) is patched with Aluminum duct tape. Works really good, at least it keeps the wind and water out. Anyways, you sir are a "quality dude" in my book.

    I love this restoration. Your paint videos are actually some of my favorites. Wear a respirator! I'm a former metalworker and I know what breathing in abrasive disc dust, metal sanding dust, epoxy and bondo sanding dust, and just paint will do to you. I love doing stuff like this on a budget! But spend money on the PPE, it's cheaper than new lungs.

    As someone who is a professional body man I appreciate you going over how much time doing something like this actually takes. Most customers don’t have a clue the amount of work it takes and why it cost so much money. Love the channel always excited for new uploads 👍

    Derek you are definitely a "Jack of all Trades"! You guys did amazing work on this old Monte Carlo! Your welding and metal skills are fantastic and the job your brother and friend did, also amazing. I have done plenty of metal work and bondo and paint in my lifetime, so I know how much time it takes to get something right. You guys did fantastic!

    Derek you're the only channel I watch that I sadly watch the time remaining on the video end. Your videos ending is like a sunday night going to bed...the weekend is over and back to work in the morning. Thank you so much for letting us slip away to your world half an hour to an hour at a time buddy.

    The way that primer looks is a good sign that it is a good primer. Don't want to cover up all your bodywork in the first go. It sinking into the filler and that was always something I liked in a good primer.A quick sanding and a recoat and that will be best kind. Nice job on the metal work. Enjoy the build.

    I like how this went from "we're just gonna scuff this old paint up so the wrap will stick" - to - "stripped to bare metal, buying and welding in patch panels, bondo and well you know...basically a full restoration" ........this is exactly how my projects go.

    I’m relatively new to your channel, but I’ve went back and watched many of your earlier videos. It’s great to watch how you’ve grown. I’m excited to see how this Monte Carlo turns out. It’s from my time as I’m 54. I remember when a lot of these we’re running around. I also enjoy your love for Buicks. My first car was a 64’ Skylark.

    Is it just me, or do those 70s models look better and better with every year that passes? You can't tell the new plastic bubble cars apart without looking at the emblem, but pre-1980 they each had a unique character. Thanks for bringing this one back to life Derek, great job as always!

    I love the Rage Gold. Easy to spread and easy sanding. Also, doesn't seem to shrink that much after finishing. Well worth the extra cost. Love your channel. Even my girlfriend who's not really that into cars loves watching and laughs as much as I do. Keep up the excellent content.
