Troys car restoration and more
This new KZread channel will be about everything I work on from houses/cars/motorcycles/Christmas lights and a lot more I am hoping to be able to help people with their projects by showing how I do things and hopefully inspire people to do things them self I plan on making videos of the processes I take to get something done not saying what I do is right just my way of doing it there’s always several ways to do things hopefully what I show you guys will help everything I do on this channel I try to be honest about everything I do and I also point out the things I screw up so that hopefully other people won’t make the same mistakes. I don’t want to sugarcoat stuff and edit my videos to look like everything I do is always right. I want this to feel more like you’re in the shop with me, working rather than me editing all the bad stuff out that happens, thanks everybody for liking sharing and subscribing

Thank you
Great job!
Thank you
Looks pretty good buddy
Thank you
Good to know that you do pinstriping. My square body will be two tone apple red and GM black with orange pin stripe. You da man. 😊
Thank you I appreciate it
@@troylukans2174 no problem man. Do you like visitors popping in un-announced? I am over in your area all the time hauling for the Amish.
No, I don’t mind long as I’m here sometimes I’m not here at all. Depends. I’m usually all over the place. Lol
@@troylukans2174 I hear ya. If I stop and you are not around I’ll leave ya a note on the door let ya know I stopped by 🤪
Where did you get the the parts from
The O-ring that I use was just in a kit of O-rings that I had bought from Harbor freight the white parts that I bought that I thought originally were wrong. I found them online and be honest with you. I can’t remember where I got them from. I looked up. The owners manual found the part number, and then Google searched it and was able to find the parts.
Nice blend😊
Thank you
You can use a little Vaseline on the oring and loosen the packing nut a little so the trigger returns smoother and quick. Really not a whole lot to go wrong with those guns. They last forever especially if you know how to maintain em. I have several of these r500 guns. They spray pretty good 👍
That’s a good idea. I’ll have to do that. Yeah they are pretty simple to fix as well and I really like the way they spray I don’t see any point in wasting thousands of dollars on expensive guns anymore.
Troy the 1959 impala you were working on is for sale on Mr.Calibroker for $335,000
@@Juliovee123 I don’t think so because it’s still at the Interior shop
@@IRESTOREBUILDSTUFF-ne9xvis the owner from gilroy California? Check the listing it literally looks like pictures from your shop.
@@Juliovee123 yes the owner is in California, but I personally don’t know him. I did the car car for a buddy of mine.
@@Juliovee123 just looked into it. Yep, that is the car.
Came out great, another successful project!
Thank you
Thanks I like your videos I'm always learning from you I do my own paint and body work on my own car always learning new stuff 😂 every time I see your videos Thanks a lot for sharing Greg
Awesome glad to hear it. Thank you for watching.
Troy question you put the sealer on then the iner coat clear I never heard of using inner coat or why next you put inner coat clear on what does it do.Does that make it ezyer for blending or seals off the old paint to the new color 🤔
What the intercoat clear does is fill in any sanding marks in the previous paint job so that the metallic does not lay funny into the sanding marks
That looks good Troy! Great job buddy!
Thank you
Looks good Troy!
Thank you
Came out great buddy
Thank you
No problem buddy
An open window can help with those pesky reverse tape door jambs
Good idea I never thought of that
We need to clone you to do multiple jobs.😊😊😊
@@lewismartin9980 lol that would be awesome. Then maybe I can get some more sleep. Lmao
I have basically same malibu that was in a flood.
Crazy how bad these cars rot out
Keep making videos I have a 64 ragtop in a little better shape, I hope to get some inspiration to jump into sanding and spraying it
Awesome car thank you
i would like to see video on that build
Ok awesome I’ll make a few videos on it
How would you price a job like this? Very cool
It’s a lot lol figure how many days it takes me plus materials plus travel plus install it’s a lot of money. I don’t wanna give pricing because it’s not my job.
Came out perfect!
Thank you
Looking good!!
Thanks
Oh yes that's one of the biggest mistake auto makers make in my opinion.... Is putting that foam in dog legs.
I totally agree unfortunately I think they know that it makes the cars right out quicker but because of metal so thin, they probably use it to stiffen it up
Door jambs are such a pain in the butt and time-consuming.... You make it look easy.
Thank you I appreciate it. I’ve done a lot of door jams in my lifetime. Lol
Awesome job buddy
@@treetop.garage thank you
Sweet
I don't know how accessible that area is on a Malibu, but you may be able to use 3M Cavity wax with extensions to coat the inside of it and keep it from rusting.
Yeah, I could probably get in there. The problem is is that damn foam is everywhere and even if I coded in there it’s not gonna get between the foam and the metal fluid to the foam but I think the damage is already too far. It’s just gonna rust other spots now.
Nice content Troy. You make it look real easy to do these repairs. I've been getting some success on my restoration projects. I do use many of your techniques and the projects come out really nice. Thanks.
Awesome I’m glad it’s helping. Thank you very much.
Love the content, keep it going!
Thank you
👍keep it going Troy
Thank you I appreciate the support
That door jack is really handy
😎😎😎😎😎
Looking good!
Thanks
Looking good, can’t wait for paint!
@@Six4691 thank you
That’s going to be sweet when finished.
Thank you
Can’t believe you made that guy at Tree Top sand till his arm fell off 😭
@@thomasberrios9651 lol I know I am mean making them work until their arms fall off lmao
I didn't mind one bit
Troy I really lie your videos, What I like is honest reviews and that you do great work but you don't have to use the highest end products to achieve super results. I am going to be staring on my 1966 Chevelle when I retire at the end of this year. You gave me the inspiration to get going on it. How is the paint on that 64 Impala holding up? I am thinking about getting a kit from that same company in Marina blue for my Chevelle. I plan on driving my car all over in the summer. It won't be a trailer queen. Thanks Eric
The paint on the 64 is holding up great I would definitely use it. Worst case scenario 5 to 10 years if it wears out sand it down and paint it again you could paint that many times with the cheaper paint and still be cheaper in the end
Nice work! Having worked on older and newer vehicles and with the change in sheet metal thickness which is easier to work on and why?
Old cars are easier to work with in my opinion the metal thicker, which gives you more chance to shape it welded and all that good stuff
Yes 👍 you’re definitely on track in my opinion keep up your great hard a$$ no bs push it’s going to pay off thanks for your time and effort to inspire 🙏
Thank you
Looks outstanding! Did you paint the door and trunk jambs off film?
Thank you and no, I did not do them. I guess he’s gonna do them by himself. He said he’s just gonna tape the whole car off this winter and do the jams and dashboard he wants to be able to drive it right now.
Luv that 64 Impala drop top!
Thank you
Came out great for what it is ...I appreciate it
Welcome anytime
Nice job that color is a good choice 👍👍👍
Thank you
WOW, that turned awesome . It was a pleasure meeting you today .
Thank you and nice meeting you as well
Looks awesome troy
Thanks it turned out ok I didn’t want to put to much time into it
I hear that
That Spray gun is nice.
Can't wait on the Studebaker paint video testing your skills without a paint booth is awesome 😊😊😊
Thank you 😊
I saw summit body filler what's your 2 cents on their bondo ?
I’ve had very good luck with it. It kind of reminds me of featherlight.
Hopefully it goes good buddy
Thanks I am sure it will work out hopefully it won’t take too long long to fix
