DAN GETS A CAR!

Never mind about that 56, what about that sweet 74 Honda Civic.

I really like the Osoyoos Ram car winch. Is it something that is available on Amazon or something custom made at JF Kustoms? Good video enjoyed it.👍

Good video Love the content 😁

Call next time neighbor. My backhoe would have made that easy

Would have been a little easier without that flat tire 😅

You keep smiling like the cat that ate the canary, must have made a good profit lol

JF, I am 75 years old and I remember Von Dutch back in the 1960's. Hope you publish them. I would buy it.

I feel like this shouldn't be that hard especially with all the products available now. A couple of friends and I used to do this kind of work in the 90's (I did high end boat detailing, they worked in a body shop), we all had our own project cars, and we'd get together on a Friday or Saturday night and polish or fix something up over a few beers, as an opportunity to do some experimenting. It seems like with all the better products available this should be a piece of cake. Back then we basically had 3M wet/dry paper, anything over 2000 grit would be hard to get, 2500 eventually showed up, 3000 wasn't a thing, and engineered paper wasn't a thing either, you had 3M or Mequire's compound, polish and "sealant" (they each had their own names) then a few different choices of carnuba based waxes. Back then it was if the paint was really rough you'd start with 600wet, or usually 1000 or 1200 wet if the pain was fairly nice. 800 didn't exist, or at least the local shop didn't carry it. If it was regular production work you'd go to a rotary+wool pad+compound and then if it was a show car that would get driven then polish, sealant and some wax. Some soft paints would still have some very fine swirls in them that you could only see when you got within a few inches, but the sealant back then had some filler that would completely hide them. Mequire's Gold Class wax would have glycerine in it that would also fill them for a few days till it evaporated. There were old school tricks that involved corn starch or talc. For the more serious stuff after 1000 or 1200 we'd go to 1500 or 2000 and then go to compound and polish on a rotary. Clean pads, clean environment some nice wax after that and you'd have something as good as anything I've seen on a show car in the last 5 years. I feel like right now it would change a little depending on how bad what you're starting with is (yours was pretty nice from what you could see in the video) and how hard the clear is (you said yours was very soft) so I'd probably start with 1000-1500 (800 if it's hard or really pealed, 600 if there is damage to fix). 2000, 3000, I wonder if the 5000 that they have now would speed up the polishing further, but I've used the 3000 polishing headlights and that's pretty fine. From there I'd probably use one of the newer cutting compounds that is variable based on the pad used. So that's between 3 and 6 steps used + wax.

Nice work, but I can’t understand why you would put hundreds of thousands of dollars in a car that you would be scared to drive, Kingdig has produced some amazing looking cars, but you can’t drive them everyday , my opinion only 🇦🇺

Hi JF, In order to do Von Dutch justice, you have the makings (the images) for a book on this piece of automotive history. Speaking to a publisher would be in your financial interest. Roland

Hi JF, Please see my previous comment. The photos were reproduced digitally. If so, they're on someones hard drive inside the machine. They won't be accessed by the people that did the work, but they can be reproduced by a technician that knows how to access the hard drive. I would go as far as to have a confidentiality agreement drafted up by a local law firm. Have the shop where the photos were recreated sign it. Find out which company made the equipment used, and have them sign it in order to retain your property. Hope you had a lovely wedding. Roland

Hi JF, I onced worked in a print shop. When digital copiers became the standard in the industry, we had to remember to include in the lease agreements that we would own the hard drives and remove them before the machine was sent away to be disposed of. I am quite sure that those photos are still on the hard drive of the machines used to make your digital prints. You should look into that... Take care and thanks for sharing. Roland

The first pics of the flame job on the 57 Ford was so sick

I’m the person who sold these photos to Gary and JF. These negatives were in my father’s archives since the 1960s. It was more work (than I can convey here in words) to scan and print those images, and keep them off the internet until they landed in your hands. Those two plastic bins each had one set of prints. The thumb drives have digital files of all the scans. Everything you see there was professionally archived and preserved, making sure that nobody copied or took photos of those images and shared them on social media. The print that has the red pinstriping was done by Von Hot Rod when I showed him the prints at a car show in California. His decal is on one of the boxes. I’m adding this because I heard you question why one of them was pinstriped. Thanks for sharing your video. It was fun to watch. Especially the part where you show the film negatives. Haha

Please, do something about the wheel gap.

Btw use a backing pad

Crazy that at the level you charge and the tools you have, you have no idea what your doing at this stage ... denim pad will be your best friend

OMG, that's so amazing! Thanks for sharing this history with us all. Great video

Thanks for sharing didn’t quite understand the playboy connection

I learned something today ❤

That was extremely interesting and entertaining; thank you all for sharing!

Howard was an artist , machinist, knife maker , gun maker, did work for McQueen among others. He was a complicated man who by all accounts did not suffer fools gladly.

I wish you could do a slideshow of those pictures so we could see them better thanks for sharing enjoyed

Was Steve Jones related to Ted or Ron Jones??

I didn't know Father Christmas really exists...lol...I just discovered this channel....great content

Very cool!!

The American Pickers Mike and Frank located Von Dutches VW powered motorcycle in New England a few years back. A lady had it stored in her back garage and knew what she had too.

WOW! AWESOME!

Awesome !!! Thanks for Sharing !!

Have a 50's custom 53 chevy magazine car been stashed since the 60's im going to bring out when I get some interest going. It's on my channel

J f does awesome work

Cheaper as far as what business pay a painter but the regular amount or more goes into the company pocket. Cut the worker while charging the cost to the customer.

I am a novice painter. I do alot of buffing because i dont spray in a booth. I usually do 1500 wet by hand, 2000 by hand and 3k by hand all wet. And only have to buff once with 3m 36060 and medium cut foam pad. I get great results not ridler but for a daily its awesome.

I'm doing similar in my shop I'm starting now first sanding by hand with 2,000 then switch to orbital 3,000 4,000 and start buffing

You guys at like a bunch of women at a Bunco party.

We started using a foam interface pad when using 3000. Even on flat surfaces. It seems to help us with getting the most out of the 3000 grit paper. And using just enough water to keep things moist without completely flooding the panel helps as well.

How many coats of clear

How many coats of clear did you use and what brand clear thanks. Old school body guy here.

I hate this part of every build. So tedious but my Babydoll likes it as it makes your hands so soft and smooth. Lol

I am going to watch your other videos and hopefully get an understanding of how you do things and products used….I was in same boat as you 5 years ago and 17 years ago…Very expensive and very tedious/time consuming…:.I might be in touch with you …See what happens …

Why can’t you block it flat with 800 or 1000 and once it’s flat use DA from there working up in grits?

Very interesting. You can examine the scratches but the test piece wasn't blocked out so the results could be deceiving.

How to read the TDS.

What happened Mike😂

It's my cousin's cougar

Hi JF, My thoughts are coming from pure ignorance on my part. 1. Spray the base coat (color) 2. Spray the clear coat. 3. Buff clear coat without removing the base (color). Apply as many coats of clear to reach the desired finish always buffing between each coat of clear. Does this make sense or is it necessary to sand the color to remove orange peel (over spray) ?

Jamais sur mon auto noire

Curious what pads and polishes you used? Out side of different levels of sanding have you tried different pads with different compounds and polishes to see if maybe a better combo their? You likely have, just be interesting to hear your feedback on that side of it. Thanks for the video and walkthrough on this one.

I do 5 coats of clear. Quick block with 600 then 800, 1000, 1200, 2000 trizact. Then buff with wool pad and polish. Works for me anyway. Never saw much use to sand past 3000.
