Or be talented with search results on eBay as well as a bit of luck when it comes to the price! I wish I could work on mine a lot more than I can at the moment, but have to go get the money to dump into somehow. :)

Thanks. I bet that Polara is a looker, as before I stumbled on this, I was in line to grab a 1960 DeSoto Adventurer, sadly the owner changed their mind and this came up. I did want to keep this as original as possible, unfortunately the cost to keep it original outdated the cost of just updating it with more modern tech. That and with limited access to folks that could help me work on the car, I had to go with the latter of those two. Unfortunately one of these will be the paint as she is far off. But hopefully we will have both the interior (back to proper original order using the same cloth by CPR and unfortunately SMS) and the exterior up to snuff next year. Chrome is going to be expensive sad to say and that will be a bit longer.

​@@nicholasjohnson6880You have already come a long way! I don't consider a repant a sin at all. Especially if it's the same original color. My Cadillac is Prestwick Gray, Its very nice. And 2 tone silver interior. Thank God it isnt that AWFUL GREEN color, with Green interior! Yuck! What were they thinking with that! Lol. I pretty much just cruise her around town couple times a month. Errands, drive it over to the neighboring town about 5 miles away to stretch her legs, and local car shows once in awhile. I put up some pictures of the car that were taken over the years, most have pictures with the family by it. Theres one picture of Dad holding me in front of the car when I was 1. Somtines people ask me, who is the baby in this picture? I say ME! LOL. They can't believe its been in the family this long! I'm 65!😅

Since I’m not running an original carb, and because it gets extremely hot in my state, I elected to go with a fuel pump instead of the mechanical fuel pump. As in my prior car, the vapor lock was insane. Additionally, it was installed when the cylinders were egg shaped and the engine was is terrible, but running condition. The new fuel pumps they sell now are absolute garbage and have only lasted one year or so from my personal experience. So, I elected to get a Holley sport fuel pump and have that instead. No problems in the winter or summer. (It’s a performance version, so that’s probably why it’s loud.) Going down the road though you can hardly hear it so I don’t mind. However, if I ever decide to (since the engine has gone through a full rebuild from the block up), I do have the ability to just quickly swap to a mechanical fuel pump. The nice thing about having a fuel pump I can turn off at will is being able to use all the gas in the float bowl. Allowing me on the next start up in regular temperatures to be quick and direct with fresh fuel not exposed to the environment. Especially after it’s been sitting a while.

They are going to be fun! Unfortunately someone stole mine while it was in the shop, so I replaced it with a 58 Eldorado horn. It sounds even more menacing.

Doing my best!

@ I have the 3.0TT. It’s fun and surprisingly quick for the engine size but it’s not the rare jewel like yours..

Not hard at all, Unfortunately for our Turkish and Ukrainian friends who sell these absolutely POSes, they don’t take the time to do that. Additionally the fakes are now being tracked by the serial numbers, and the factories in China haven’t introduced a new serial in about a year. (Which, unfortunately for them, we added immediately to the list). We have a better guide located on our public subreddit if you want to take a gander on how awful they are. www.reddit.com/r/STDupont/s/FZNtAvJAiT It’s usually the main way on how we do quick authentication now, and I do my best to keep it updated weekly.

Bom dia, desculpe, mas não falo nada além de inglês. Quando tiver tempo, talvez eu consiga criar uma transcrição do vídeo e enviá-lo. Dessa forma, o UA-cam pode traduzi-lo automaticamente para outros idiomas.

@ Muito obrigado. Viva a América 🤝🏽

I am unfortunately. Back when I was more eccentric towards the Ford look vehicles specifically a 1960 De Soto adventure I only saw horror story after horror story with them. However, it been 10 years. I’m working with CPR who have a contract with SMS to get the interior fabric so far I have the headliner fabric and also the Calcutta cloth. I’m waiting on getting the silver colored leather and the gun medal silver floor fabric in. I just ordered a crap ton of other parts for the car as well and we are going to start attacking it very seriously at the start of next month so you’ll be able to see a little bit more as to how she has come along since the posting of this video

It is, what it is. Did get tired of explaining to everyone that “it doesn’t work” and showing them that it came out looking brand new. But it’s the internet.

They are cool pieces of history.

@petercunningham3469 yes it is

@@eugeniorodriguez3779 hey sorry for the delay. As of right now, it’s really hard to tell. Only a few of us are around the 50k mark. Some folks have had problems with the turbos, however that’s for all engines with cadillac turbos. I wish I could specify any known issues but that’s about it for right now.

This one unfortunately was only 1,000 w in the video. For car restoration with heavy oxidation and cleaning, we personally recommend finding a 1,500 w unit. It works wonders better than what you are seeing in this video. (And with more training behind it as well)

@@nicholasjohnson6880 thanks for getting back to me .

@rvnb1027 Anytime. It’s a dream come true for be regarding rust!

You only need to get it to 4.7-5.0 on the Tach. Anything else is unnecessary and just putting wear on the engine. Straight from a few of the engineers I’m lucky to call friends that want to make sure this engine survives as long as possible.

Ok.

It had been sitting for a while without a charger and it had been starting and stopping for the slight modifications. But she fires right up now, upgraded fully to electric starter and alternator!

Awesome. Thx for reply.​@nicholasjohnson6880

We go by time. $30 every 15 minutes for the small jobs $120 hourly for the bigger ones. Plus any transportation fees and taxes necessary.

@@nicholasjohnson6880 I'm sorry I just had to do enough digging I see you've already had to answer this a million x

@ericshover8925 You’re fine. Nothing wrong with asking questions.

@@nicholasjohnson6880 hey can I just contact you through email? I had some more questions.

Not for everyone.

Glad to hear it.

They're not pointless. Also it's "criticisms" not "criticism's".

I work in the Los Angeles area. However you are in luck as we have Art Brown NY who is a great resource on these lighters and the official service center in the United States!

@@nicholasjohnson6880 you can not fix by yourself?

@@kennylee5776 Nope. I lack the tools and parts to fix Ligne 2s. Perhaps in the future I can work on that, but as of right now I am not comfortable working on other people’s lighters, and let alone charging them for it.

Ah. That means the seals need to be replaced. That will take a proper disassembly. Where are you generally located? I can take a look at the list and maybe point you to a local service centerz

@@nicholasjohnson6880 please

While I wish I could, it’s not something I can offer to people asking and be in the right might to say it was done properly or not. I might be able to point out the issue you are having if you share what all is happening with it.

Haven’t had any issues yet. Standard business transaction and haven’t had to talk with them since.

Anytime, I hope it will help owners do preventive maintenance on their Ligne 2s and extend their life further down the road.

Jeez it’s been a while hasn’t it? I think mid to low 11s.

Would need to invest in a Ligne 1 model to get it going and talk with Jeremy to make sure that we don’t mess it up!

Thank you. Hopefully this helps!

All depends on your location and whether or not you are fine with having it be a used model instead of new. There are a few groups on Facebook that have used models going for around $5-6k for this amount of Wattage, and cheaper for lower models as well. Would check the laser cleaning community Facebook groups to see what’s available.

@@nicholasjohnson6880 agreed. I'm also sure these will come down as they become more mainstream.

@@RYTHMICRIOT as they have during the ten year progression of making them better.
