No professional powder coater would have done that. I blast every frame I do to white metal , outgas, prime and topcoat. And by the time they are done assembling that gloss black will look like semi gloss black.

Lincoln stickers on the hood but Miller gets the work done! The Power of Blue!!!!

I really like the episodes when you guys go into details with body work and welding tips. Teaching while building is a plus.

I seen this car at a show a few years ago. They took a lot of short cuts and the rear wheels rubbed the quarters . I could go on and on.

61 impalas are gorgeous!!!!! Especially bubble tops!! 🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍

Why would you powdercoat anything? It is only a matter of time before chipping and peeling happens and when it does, you can't do a damn thing about it but start completely over again.

A better way to attach that bracing to the underframe (Super Labor Intensive) is to do it Aircraft-Style, that is, precisely drilled .250" holes and Military-Grade Blind fasteners (MS90354S08-xx). Smeared with plenty of AC-730 Sealant.

I love how Rick doesn’t use gloves or a jacket when he’s welding or plasma cutting

Those 4 doors look good fixed up there was some young guy that own a white one like that lowerd with chrome wheels, that was the first time I took interest in 4 doors can be cool to if it's done right. My neighbor owned a 1949 Desoto 4 door in the early 80's we cruised all over San Francisco San Jose Sacramento bay area in that old classic 4 door bomb oh and it had a ship horn in it that would scare the heck out of pedestrians

Anyone know what happened to the final episodes of this built? I can’t find them.

Those old Biscayne / impala wanna-bes are cool.

The extensive rust on this project would of been a bit over whelming for myself,it was deep.

I love impalas

Bruh the way he said impahla lol

I have never seen powder coating done this way. Most everyone I have seen smokes the parts by sandblasting and then coat.

The Corvette wasn't the first Fiberglass American Sports Car, Kaiser Willys offered the Kaiser Darren 161 before the Corvette was introduced, the Darren was all fiberglass and introduced in 1952. Only 485 were build but it was still first. The Corvettes first year saw very low production figures as well

Was that oil smoke coming from the vett lol. Only good vett 55-56 steel body

Nice

Can you tell me anything about using old sheet steel from a underground fuel tank its thick can it be treated in any form to use as patch panels or floor pans

Had this guy that had $$$ and thought he was fast with his 67 tri power 427 vette.. My buddy had a 66 tri power GTO that had visited Royal pontiac and had a 421 loaded under the hood with all the treatments. The Vet guy challenged him.. and Lost big time. That was the 500 dollar first run. He said he would be back in a couple of hours. We sat at A&W drinking Rootbeer floats. He showed up having super tuned his Vette at the Speed shop. Well he was only a car legenth behind that run. He wanted another chance. That round cost him 1k in money. So he showed up at like 3am for one more shot.. Well He lost by a fender... He was stoked but coughed up the 2k and drove off.. We ended up pushing my buddys GTO into a farm turn in for a tractor and getting a tow home.. See Larry blew up his Munci in 3rd gear and actually still coasted in beating the vette....... Well At least we had some $$$ and the money go buy one of them M22 rock crushers for the GTO

That's not how they prepared my frame for powder coating.

I was expecting higher quality work. I would be very upset if someone did such rough work on one of my cars.

Poor workmanship. Powder coated over rust. Didn't sand off the rust on frame or media blast the frame. Frame was not checked for square and level. Many rough spots on frame that didn't get ground down and smoothed out. No inner support for frame. Very bad Tac welds on body sheet metal. Its a clumpy mess. One of the cross members/bracing was pieced together. Should of been one solid piece.

This video is from like 2009 and the car was finished in like 2011.

Power coating Sucks! I had rims done for a Vega a few years back. I sand blasted them clean. Sent them to my local powercoater. Mounted tires on them and used the car. It was not long before I got stone chips and started rusting under the powercoat. They bubbled rust under the powercoat. Best to use a good wet primer and top coat. I personally will never do it again. Powercoat is baked at 400 F but can chip fast too.

Inside frame rails...rust.

I'm surprised it didn't fold in half with no bracing...

sean5comet powder coating is crap. Before I could finish the car my frame was bubbling all over . Done by a professional shop, actually paid them money to f -up my frame. Next frame was dipped to de - rust and E-coated, then por-15. Still looks great and that was 2002.

ok can't find e11 .... no need to subscribe

Looked like a crappy powder job. When done right it should be completely smooth , this looked like a preschooler painted it with water paint. A scuffing with a da is not rust removal and 5 minutes in oven does not dry it out completely, can you cook fries completely in 5 minutes in oven?

Sorry, but no... the frame prep was ... not so much. Grind that frame smooth, welds, and ruff spots before even thinking about taking it to the powdercoater. Powder coating over surface rust.. no.. powder coating without sand blasting? No.. But I am not a pro like these guys..
