Classic cars with blackout door frames and window trims look good with tint.

Classic cars no tint Modern cars definitely tint

I would tint most cars, with that having the black around the doors it would definitely finish it off with some nice dark glass

I always use window tint. With our harsh sun I think it's important, but each to their own.

i think if you're going to be driving it in summer, it needs tint i know they can look ok without but i say sanity over vanity tint makes a massive temp difference as well as protects your interior

Re: window tint...my motto is, if it has has black painted door frames, tint the windows. If they're body colour, leave them clear.

I would have black tint on the windows Just adds to the black and green you have going there mark 👍👍

Well done my friend :)>>. You should be proud of what you’ve done !!!!

Definitely tint. On a warm day, those seats will be hot AF...just like the olden days

Agree with no tint on classics👍

Mark try clear window tint

I live in QLD, so I put tint on everything, saves you from sunburn and the cars interior will last longer. Also, Supercheap thinners (Acetone) will help get the old tint glue off a lot easier.

Thanks for sharing! The heat is defiantly a factor

Hi Mark, I been watching your channel every week nice build on the Sandman I would suggest light tint or clear tint Keep up the great work

I like the factory light green tint on 50s-60s cars bc I recon it suits them,but 70s cars look better clear for some reason.keep chipping away mate👍

I agree with the clear windows, even tho tint does look good, if you're just flipping the car I'd leave them clear and the next owner can spend their money on tint as they may decide to take it back off!!?? If you can't make a decision on it I'd go just a light tint! 👍🇦🇺

Yeah if I was keeping it I’d likely put a clear tint just go reduce the UV

Same. I prefer clear glass on oldies.

Just use a clear tint (or even just a high vlt rating) for the UV protection.

I will for the cars I keep, indeed!

Looking good man 👍

Need some tint if driving frequently. No tint if a random cruiser.

It's a shame I'm not closer to Adelaide. I'd donate my spare glass just to see this build finished.

Looking fantastic nice work so far Mark, have a great weekend 👊 cheers🍺🍻 KC 🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎✌👍

Thanks, you too!

Seeing that the glass is scratched tint might help great content keep up the great work

Black frames will look fine with tint.

Looking good buddy. Definitely ceramic tint. Bit more expensive but worth it 💪🤩

There's a rear window on ebay that is in SA...

Retro ozi bubble windows - could help if you can't find a rear.

I tint everything I own, 20% at a minimum. If I can get away with it I go 5%. Dark tint will contrast awesome with that bright paint.

I was watching Castlemaine rod shop and the chassis parts they make for the front of kingswoods don’t fit perfectly because they are different so the hole car is probably the same

A light tint is a good compromise between looks and comfort.

Why have you not got a reference manual? Even experienced mechanics have a manual reference library. Even if you can’t get a genuine workshop manual, a Gregory’s or Haynes will make life easier. Saves heaps of time and frustration especially when working with looms. I hate looms but fortunately these cars are pretty basic. Get a schematic. The other frustrating thing is that these cars are not up to the engineering standards of the Japanese cars and often stuff just doesn’t line up as it should. Hence the most used tool at GM, the Holden screwdriver…or more commonly known as a small ball-peen hammer and cold chisel. Often you’ll find that putting stuff together looks intuitive but it ain’t.

I like the classics with out tint, but in our country I think we need it. I came across a guy down Marion way that has a clear film to put on instead of the tint that reduces the heat and uv rays like tint, I think ill go that way when I get to it.

Yeah I’m keen on clear for some of my projects!

Can understand rhe dilemma, I have WB ute and some days I think tint would be good and other days I think keep it as original as possible.

This is taking sooo long. Almost as long as one of my builds. Ok ,no where near as long.😆. Looks fing awsome champ.

It’s a pity I’m in Sydney as I’d love to get a picture of this with my XY Ute which is a very similar colour ( videos on here) any way it looks like it’s coming along nicely. By the way I’m the same old cars = no tint. Although I did chuck a Venetian on the back window. 👍

Nice 👍

Limo black on the rear window only.

It would look choice with blacked out paint work between the door rubbers and the door cards👌not that you have enough to do 😂🍻

G'day Mark you legend how have you been brother

No tint see all the beauty

Personally I would go with tint. Bum meeting hot vinyl seats is not a happy moment.

I am a Ford man deep down, but that does look great Mate.

Please don’t cut the door cards for winder windows, install a power window kit while you can

Clear windows are so much nicer on older cars..

Hey bro can i asked what is ur daily job?

Wasabi Sandman > Wanabe Sandman

I think classic cars with there loose windows and scratchy old rollers & rubbers tint is a bad idea it just looks like shit

How can I say this without offending....I feel your kinda stuck in an era 🤔 don't get me wrong all your car builds are nice 👍 👌 just I picturing if all builds said and done are placed side by side there is a theme and it's carrying on basically from one to the next maybe it's painting walls on every wheel of your builds...sorry bloke just personal opinion....this isn't related but also the graphics on the Torana yes it pops but looks like something you bought as a kid from Hot Wheels or MatchBox ....just some stuff is a little over the top with pop....
