    Proud LLW shirt customer... my cars practically finish themselves since I got one!
    I have seen waaay worse colour matches than that... It's like tremclad knew what those cans would be used for... hmmm...
    Seriously, most "restored" cars for sale are not done any better than this, and for "just goofing off" it is above and beyond!
    Cheers buddy; can't wait to see it... Full GCFCE approval of course!

    I know this won't be what you want to hear.. But, this is probably one my favorite videos you have done. I have shared to several friends and I appreciate it. Between this and the C 10 episode from last year I think building a "beater with a heater" is getting to be a lost art. Great work and if someone was really up against it they could have done this with pop rivets and a grinder. I know you areused to doing a lot higher end work, but this gets someone with just a little cash through for now. Thank you for this, I really appreciate what it takes to make this look as easy as you do. Great job sir!

      I'll post my own thoughts in another comment but I wanted to concur. Like the fixing major rust play list, this was a great vid. I love the other stuff too so I won't say its a new favorite but this is the kind of rough and tumble fix the rust and get it back on the road stuff that I do. I could never hope to do the kind of metal finishing and dent repair of old stuff you do but will always be watching to learn more.

    This was awesome even if its not the way you are supposed to do it. This is the kind of work us more normal driveway mechanics fix stuff but in way shorter time. Cut some rust, try to make a part that fits, weld it, hide it with filler and paint with a rattle can. While I love the classic car stuff, amazing artistry with the cut and chops, the miraculous dent and crack disappearing videos, this was a nice long video to procrastinate with while thinking I should be in the driveway right now doing the same thing to my rocker panels.

    I think this was taking pity on this old police cruiser, i think the rust deleting, and rustoleum rattle can fix will get this rig down the road awhile longer, and it looks 100% better. You didn't buy replacement rocker panel's, or any other pre fabricated metal to do this, and i have no doubt this budget fix will last much longer. You have some skills, and use what you've got, always makes for a great video, along with sarcasm and humor.

      Bobby Fuller had the hit, but it was written and originally recorded by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets. Sonny joined the Crickets after Buddy's death. Curtis was an early collaborator with Buddy, prior to forming the Crickets, and co-wrote Buddy's early tracks "Blue Days Black Nights" and "Rock Around With Ollie Vee"... but he's probably best known for writing and singing "Love Is All Around", the theme song to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

Anyway, this was a “thoroughly adequate “ job for what this car is. It’s way more than a 50-footer, I live just South of you in Montana, and it looks good from here!

    Great video! I'm sure this is the way a higher percentage of folks do repairs in there garage (not even up to this quality). So I bet more folks will like this video than you think! Keep up the quality videos!!! You do a great job producing, editing and filming too!
