Dalton, in a couple months I''ll be seventy, and I have to say, you have not a "can do" attitude, but a "will do" attitude. An attitude of inestimable value my friend! I had a 77 shortbox stepside with chrome bed rails, and custom paint that I ordered new and modded to where I wanted. You have made me smile my friend! Bringing that particular configuration around, and in "BLACK" is a worthwhile undrtaking, and I thank you!

Being a body tech myself it's nice to see people doing there own paint jobs and seeing how much work it actually takes to do a paint job

Agreed 100% ! Rome wasn't built in a day, good body & paint work isn't either !

Using body filler got a bad reputation from shops in the 70s and 80s who used it instead of body work to fix rust holes and dents. The way you're using it is entirely appropriate and the way all cars come off the factory assembly line. Very good job!

I agree! I used to detail used cars for dealers in the late 70s. I saw quite a few used cars that had rusted out and were patched with bondo, chicken wire and fiberglass. Those repairs lasted six months and the paint would start blistering. Who wouldn’t be ticked to find out they had a bondo bucket?! That is what gave body filler a bad name. I do my own resto work now and replace rusted areas with metal and of course you have to use some filler and short strand fiberglass to get it sealed up and smooth. However, there’s a lot of people out there now who are paranoid about poor body repairs. They think if you used any filler, you’re scamming them and the repair is garbage. Other people who have never done metal or bodywork think they are experts because they saw someone doing it on TV too and don’t realize there is more than one way to properly do a repair. I’m 65 now and don’t have that many more years left to do bodywork as a hobby. But I’ve finally got half-ways decent at it. I am restoring a 73 Dodge van and doing a custom paint job on it with metal flake and candy. I’m doing a lot of airbrush work and it has several murals. It’s looking pretty damn good too. It’s going on three years since I started it. Just have the drivers side and roof left. It’s going into its first coat of high build today on those surfaces. The rest of the panels are painted.

Im going to give it another go with the information you put in this video. Cheers from the UK :)

Congrats Dalton on hitting the mile stone. Very nice to see your brand grow.

I would have never thought the silver dollar Chevy would ever look that good!

Don’t know why🤷‍♂️ but this makes me think of way back when I was a kid and loved watching the small local body shop work. They used to do lead work. One day one of them explained to me how to find a leaded spot under a beautiful paint job. He took two magnets off the fridge, he slapped them back on, one obviously held on betting than the other. Then brought me over to the car and started showing me how to tell how thick a lead spot is. If the strong one would not hold, definitely a deep repair. Yet don’t disagree, work with what you have to do the best you can. If it works it works. Can you make it look great up close, yup, but can you still enjoy it driving by any 20/50 looking good and enjoying life, hell yeah brother you can.

So glad you're keeping this truck around! The paint is turning out amazing! Congrats on the 100k. Remember finding your channel back when it was around 9kish. Keep up the good work!!!

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers! For generally hacking your way through builds. This Silver Dollar truck is turning out to be a genuinely great truck again. I’ve always felt that black and red were the 2 hardest colors to paint and hide bodywork on a budget, unless you really like the textured look of finished paint. Like that you get from using a roller or large brush. Both of which I myself have used for mud/ beater trucks.

I love watching you & your son work together on a project.

Dolton just proved something I wished my old man, would have remembered to be true. And that is, you cannot rush body work if you want a decent paint job. I am saying that as OMG Dolton, you just turned an old sows ear into a silk purse.

The craziest part about this is that Dalton actually did a better paint job then a good majority of "professional body shops" I've had experience with / Worked for

That truck is turning into a gem. I've been following waiting for more on this truck since you got it from Kevin

17:00 So.. I see you pinned a comment with basically the same timestamp, but man you are telling my story brother. My dad was a mechanic by job when younger (it's a long story he had boilermaker certs, was an engineering guy but always hands on not an office dude, always had grease under his fingers and all that - just like me) anyway, he did exactly the same, we are the same way.. I learned with NOTHING. NOTHING. But damnit no matter what that man touched, and now me, it was turned to gold. It's just the way it goes, no I'm nothing like he was, but I'll tell you the best compliment I EVER got in my WHOLE life and it'll never happen again was the day my old man told me "nice work, son." You know how that felt. Damn I miss my dad. Rest in Peace Dad.

I love the insect sounds in the background. I live in town and rarely hear them.

You have just done the very thing I had to do from the time I was a kid on my old farm trucks. And even a less than perfect paint and body job looks better than a rusty old pile of junk. My brother was a cop, and he always told me if a guy driving a old truck is willing to keep the paint and body repaired, they probably are looking after things like brakes too, and they didn’t pull a old truck that looked like the guy was trying to maintain it. But the trucks with rust holes and a different colour door, they were suspect of not being fit for the road. I have been watching for a long time, and keep watching because you show guys that they can fix a lot of their own stuff. And it doesn’t have to be show room condition, just look respectable. Good work.

"Just fine" for who its for, best fraze ever

Your far more entertaining then most body men and I like the your honestly of the work your doing!

Watching this video makes me incredibly happy I subscribed a few months ago. Why? Because I'm sick of patina. IMO, patina is the sign of an un-loved vehicle. Think about it, there are channels that'll spend $10k+ on an LS swap, but they won't spend $1k on a DIY paint job. If Dalton wanted to flip this rig (he won't) it's worth thousands more now than if he just got it running and moved on to the next one like so many other channels do. Don't get me wrong, revivals are fun to watch but I'd much rather see the full story of a vehicle revival with a flip, than seeing it dumped in a tree row and forgotten all over again. Awesome content!

Loved the pep talk about your dad just getting shit done, absolutely correct people with excuses just means there useless or lazy or both.keep up the good work Dalton you deserve more subs. Cheers from Adelaide South Australia

3:16 - As an expert in this pre-application mixing method, I can attest that he was accurate to within a nano-drop, if that. Not everyone can appreciate this level of expertise that takes us beyond "craftsmanship" and into the realm of fine art, and art is suggestive, so I'm right. That's how I know he is. Carry on.

Ive been working on rebuilding a 65 f100, I dont have the money to rebuild it the "right way" Over 2 years of work with a little bit spent here and there its now 95% done. Rebuilt the entire thing from the ground up. I had never rebuilt a car or truck ever before. Taught myself how to weld, rebuild an engine, rebuild a transmission, rewiring, body work, painting, interior work. The entire thing has been done on a budget, I bought very few new things and the only thing I spent any real money on was having the engine block machined and the rebuild kit for the engine. The rest was either part I fabricated or sourced from pull a part or auto swap meets. Its been a fun journey and will be on the road shortly. It was the first time I had ever done something like this, I learned a lot from it and made due with what I had, it wont be perfect, but it will be functional and reliable.

Or fun. But doable. Thank you for the lesson. I'll probably have to watch it a few more times but atleast it's there to refer to.
