Man, 50s n 60s Cars are often a freakin nightmare in terms of doubled and even tripled sheets of Metal. Congrats, Guys of MuscleCarTV, for makin this happen👍🍻
It's crazy how much time and meticulous work you guys had to put into this project to get it where you wanted it! The fact that you guys are good enough to set your own bar for quality lets anyone lucky enough to own something you guys did work on, that it's worth paying guys like you more, (sometimes a lot more), to get the results that you always (seem to) get! I'm a frugal scotsman, and I've become a fair critic and judge of visual results of work like this. I know that I would be able to preform the work myself, if I had the proper tools and an abundance of time to get it done. This is why I choose to design the parts and describe them to the guy I have doing my labor for me, because I find it difficult to make my ideas translate from my brain into a concept drawing without any method of sizing or dimensional processing. You guys appear able to do just that without missing a beat!
If you hang a piece of tape across the truck when you're using the ram you can tell how far you are moving it. Apply the tape tight then measure a half inch or so, however much movement you expect and let it droop. When you apply the force from the ram the tape will pull tight telling you how far you've moved it.
I worked for Leith Porsche Audi in the 90’s and Mike Leith bought 2 GNX’s for investment. He kept one on our showroom and one by his office that he occasionally drove. Nice car but I never understood why they had bench seats in a muscle car.
Guys, help a friend with a bullet casting business and he monitors his lead content in his blood often. His is well below any concern at all and he wears no ppe like you guys are wearing. He says that keeping the lead temp below 700 F is the secret and no dust of any kind. If you were grinding the lead that would be different. Guess over precautious is better though.
I worked with lead several years ago and while I wasn't ever grinding it or causing dust, I was pouring molten lead into plugs on lead-core doors for xray rooms, nuclear plants, etc. We only kept the lead at maybe 600°F and I had to wear a mask with the canisters and tubes that were on my back. I had my levels checked every six weeks and always came back negative. I always wore latex gloves under my work gloves and was able to wash my clothes at the plant so they never came into my car or house. I showered there, too, when I had to work with it.
Now I'm only 48, so correct me if I'm wrong here. As I recall, some of the Bill Hines (sorry if I spelled wrong) customs almost had more lead than steel in them, and yet those gorgeous paint jobs have survived to this day. If a feller has trouble painting over lead, I reckon the problem isn't the lead, it's the paint. Just my two cents worth...
@Gman 2060 And yes fellow, there are paint experts in this world who invested time and materials to figure it out. You don't sound like a fellow who would get the job done. You sound like a customer who would pay me to paint your car.
Awesome finally a car that needs lots of work wich I have done with limited tools but also alot of @#$#@ colourful word's lol nothing go's to plan some days , I used to have really good tools now will be getting more when I can 😀
I'm restoring a 66 mustang and removed the lead filler where the sail panel meets the rear quarter ( should have cut around it, my mistake) what kinda filler would be best to replace it?
Or you could called contact your local tech school where they teach high school kids the trade. In many cases you will only be paying for the parts and materials.
You could get just about the same package in a Regal T-type which came in many colors. I think you could get in any color offered on the Regal. Almost bought one new in 1985 but it was a little over my budget. Bought a Monte Carlo SS instead.
...I was really interested in this until I saw those sh@tty large-diameter modern-fad rims and tires..no need watching the rest of it from those indications :(
I've fixed a lot of rust buckets, what a challenging task ,I've got 41 Plymouth business coupe that I'm facing the same issues, nice job .

I like to see that the "older" cars are getting some love. I absolutely adore the "old ones". Anything prior to '78 is nice.

Great job on the 61 Chevy
In my book, impalas are always, worthy restoring!
I'm really enjoying this build 61❤️
GNX fastest production car of 1987 = about the same acceleration and quarter mile as a 2nd tier Sporty Crossover compact SUV in 2017.
Those guys are auto masters, they have extraordinary talent and knowledge, amazing.
The vintage car bodies were much sturdier than the cars made today.
Please want to see more of red sled ❤

When Gene Winfield does lead work he just has a fan blowing past him. This guys wearing a hazmat suit. Oh how times have changed
That car deserves a W-head 409.
Jeremy Murphy... Absolutely. There isn’t any other engine that belongs in that car. If they LS it I’m going to be pissed.

@Dave Pawson Yep and it's sealed by scar tissue now, and was never in a form to be absorbed by the body.
Wow how many ppl have access to a 15 thousand dollar HEPA filter machine in there real garage lol 😂
You are the best guys 👍👌
Wow, so much knowledge and fabrication going on here. I should of went into bodywork instead of mechanical work...
Eu acho muito bom o trabalho de vcs dão muito atenção aos detalhes, parabéns
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls 👏 Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
Great skills like always.
For forty years I have melted all of my scrap lead into bullets for target practice.
Speaking of Buicks, you guys should do a Skylark Custom Sedan! I might know someone who has one you could use...
Not to be a jerk but this show was ten years ago
That’s a Biscay, Chevrolet
from lead sled, to red rust sled, to red sled.
Why would you ever remove lead body filler. It’s been in place for 60 years without issues. That’s a long gone art form.

@Gman 2060 another key board warrior... Huhh huhhh huhhh. Since you're the expert, tell me why you think I'm wrong.

Gman 2060 Been doing it for 30 years. So yes, I am an expert.
@@navvet4518 You can't argue with that resume!
15 he's for a dozen custom parts that not bad if u think about it
Save lead, put listing on ebay. Bullet casters would LOVE that stuff!
В целом хорошая работа! Только момент с удалением припоя не понравился. Да,содержится свинец, да пары его ядовиты.Но вы же не посуду из него делаете?!
Awesome finally a car that needs lots of work wich I have done with limited tools but also alot of @#$#@ colourful word's lol nothing go's to plan some days , I used to have really good tools now will be getting more when I can 😀
Very good 👍👍👍👍
Congratulation!!!!! BRASIL
Such lead malarkey!
?
Is the trunk repair the same on a 64 impala
15:55 LOL Brent XD
I wonder if there are any solutions to the Buick oiling issues?
Dam the freakin music.
Yeah, I wouldn't have touched that thing with a 10 foot pole, it need a trunk, floor pans, and just about everything... Too much work.

Молодцы
I love red sled please is it ok to see the final finish on red sled please ok Rick I'm begging you ok thanks begging you
What's funny is though nobody from this show ever responds
Why is it funny? This was filmed 17 or 18 years ago.
TV Guide says: 28 June 2008 , so broadcast almost exactly 12 years ago.
@@JxH what??? I tought this show is in the present time
То чувство, когда с нуля проще заново сделать кузов, чем восстанавливать этот
How would you guys like to fix up an old 86 f150 302 big block
umm recycle that lead by selling to the local scrap yard. lead is still worth money.
cobak kalau indonesia di dukung alatttt alat yang begituuu pasti maju
Why doesnt mantain the original wheels and the classic style in this project cars?.😟🤦♂️
I got the perfect cars you can rebuild on the show 58 and 59 convertible impala
Or you could called contact your local tech school where they teach high school kids the trade. In many cases you will only be paying for the parts and materials.
Next time measurements first and then weld And you are professional lol
Just find a better car to start with. It will save lot's of headaches.

2011 update on where the car went

A lot of junk in the trunk¿?
What do you call it¿?
Madonna¿? ... ...... .........
Not a fan of mods. I like OEM jobs.
had a 61 Impala convert but this is the ugliest Chevy ever , should have been sent to the crusher years ago
Too bad the GNX wasn't offered in White or Crystal Red or even a Metallic Blue, actually any Colour other than Black
You could get just about the same package in a Regal T-type which came in many colors. I think you could get in any color offered on the Regal. Almost bought one new in 1985 but it was a little over my budget. Bought a Monte Carlo SS instead.
