Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2022
- Starting the cosmetic restoration on the cheap CTS-V. A little paint and elbow grease and this car is already starting to come around. Mechanical issues continue to pop up but we'll tackle those as well! More to come!
You're officially my favorite video creator atm.
Thanks man!
He needs more Recognition !
@@stxzreg share his videos 🤷🏾♂️
Had a 2005. Totaled it at 178,000 miles (not my fault). Damn the luck, now I have to buy a 2010. Finally found a manual transmission in Massachusetts. Flew up and drove it back to Dallas. Finally sold it with 208,000 miles. Still redlining. No drag racing.
Those were excellent cars. I never modified anything. Never replaced anything on either, which includes the clutches, other than the rear shocks twice on the 2010. They had a bad habit of leaking.
Had the 2010 to 170. It was a one way concrete bridge across the water so only the fishermen below the bridge were at risk.
I looked to buy a Gen 3 but could not get past the automatic transmission. I do not trust GM and automatic transmissions. They also take all the fun out of driving.
I now drive a manual Z06/Z07. Found this one in Kansas, not far from Dorothy. The new CT5 Blackwing V will be tempting.
You have put the cts-v at the top of my list of cars I will buy. That engine with a manual transmission is perfect.
He's got long videos that satisfy people who want more. its like watching a TV series
I love seeing this car be rescued and come back to life!
My 06’ Chrysler 300 SRT8 is the same color. Didn’t like it at first but it’s grown on me. Looks good in the sun after a wash.
Just found you’re channel and I’m glad I did! The cars you buy & clean up are exactly what I want to see. Keep up the good work man, you’re channel is gonna blow up in no time!
Never looked at a CTS V like this I mean damn I heard the hype but until your video I’ve never got the “Wow” factor and this is a 1stgen 🧐🔥💯
It’s a V
You’ve got the sweat equity in this car but it’s so cool! A bumpy cam Caddy is wild. I’m new to the Cadillac world. I scored an ‘06 STS4 with 31k miles back in June & loving it way more than my Mustang
My boy Kevin Love putting in that work in the offseason.
Hey Chris. Nice channel. I am from NH too. I have a better way to remove pine sap from the paint! use Hand sani gel. Type with alcohol. pump some on the sap, give it a min and wipe off with a terry cloth. Its much cleaner and easier and cheaper!
Hey im new to your channel and i have to say i absolutely love that you do longer videos. We get so much progress in one vid!! Also, the time lapses are killer. Definitely one of my new favorite channels to watch. Keep up the great content!
If you installed a front splitter I feel like that would look insane! Great job so far!
Just discovered this channel yesterday and was binging through the CTS vids and I'm lucky enough to get this video the next day. Heck yea. Stoked for the next vid & can't wait to see this thing when it's finished.
Keep up the awesome work! Love the V-1 and can’t wait to see how it progresses. Keep it up, the channel will pick up traction fast.
Really wonderful job Chris
Man everything you do to that caddy just looks better and better
Hey man, I’m new here. Been watching for a few days now, I’m a fan of your page! Happy that I found you, keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
- A.M.P
Yes, coming along nicely! I think you should wear rubber gloves when using that acetone! It's powerful stuff! Like your videos! Thanx!
Excellent job and u are a hard working man. Want to see more videos
Incredible. Wish I had the level of knowledge, tools and time as you. Hopefully, one day I can get there. And thanks for taking us on this journey with the cheapest CTS V ✌🏾
Nice work dude. Love the American Flag too!
Recently came across your channel bro when you first purchased the V keep up the good content! 💯 motivates me to fix some cosmetic work on my own car 👊🏼😎
Nice work, Cadillac looking better and better every time!👌👌👌
Just bought a 2009 V2, but took some of your tricks and cleaned my up. Dude your awesome
I’ll never miss one of his videos, always good content. 👌🏽
Thanks man!
This guy is the best !!!! Nice work !
A video that makes me stay the whole time 🫵👍
tip on the wheels. when the clear is failing like that, use aircraft stripper to chemically remove the failing clear coat, usually the aluminum underneath is pretty good. if not polish up the raw aluminum and re-clear with a good 2k clear... you'll save hrs in sanding. keep up the good work.
Good tip. Thanks man!
Molloy
I have a set of black V rims w failing clear etc.
How long do I let the remover sit on there?
Will that get me to bare rim?
Can I use bondo on the rim or something else?
Thanks for your input…I’m handy so I’m sure it’ll be perfect when I’m done but I’d be a fool not to ask tips from you if you know.
@@chrisreynolds2410 you let the remover sit for 15- 30 mins. wrapping the wheel in the black trash bag will help accelerate the stripping process, NOTE!! any paint under the clear will get removed as well. this process that I'm rereferring to works very well if it's a bare alumium wheel that has been clear coated. if you want remove everything, including the actual color, this method works great too.
Don't know how I just now found you on you tube only a few days ago but I absolutely love all of your videos! I love how you don't just put out a string of short videos. You wait to get the whole video done mostly before you put it out. Keep up the great work I love it!!!
As a fellow owner of a CTS-V, check the clamp for the powersteering hoses by the rack. If the car was from the northern states the salt will have corroded under the clamp and compromised the hoses/lines. Sweet V! Nice work!
This guy does good work at a very high standard.
Reminds me of....Me!!!
Wow! I don't know you but I'm so proud of both your patience and work ethic!
Liked what you've done with V. My uncle had an 07 V Grey Exterior with the Titanium Interior, then sold that one for an 08 STS-V., then eventually bought an 13 V Coupe Manuel.
Keep those updates coming and drive that V like you stole it!!!
Good Job Mann Your Doin Better Than Most Of Us Watching Could.
new favorite channel forsure
nice to see you putting in the time for this car, motivates me to get my saab 93 going
Good stuff my fellow Sullivan
I see a UA-cam career ahead of you my man! Just found your channel from the first CTS-V video and I can definitely say I’ll be tuning-in to your videos.
Garage like that I think I'd live in lol

Just came across your channel and this series a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work, earned a subscriber with the quality content you're putting out.
I agree 🤘🏽
@@imaugiie117 me too
That was great idea using small sheets instead of tape on the wheels. I will do the same next time.
I have major garage envy!
Before the paint correction it looked green. Now it definitely looks more blue. Awesome improvements.
Phenomenal work
I really appreciate attention to detail chris 👍🏻you get in there and fire it up buddy really like the cts v content
I’m living through Chris on this channel and I love love your passion you put into your cars and these videos… this video was well done can’t wait till the next one !
Don't wait for another video, get a life.
Love your video and the great work with the Caddy V!
Amazing work
Great job! Love these vids!
Awesome job💯
the best thing for pine sap is 70% alcohol with plastic blades. im envious...beautiful
Looks amazing
I have always loved that color for the CTS! Go get it Chris! great work!✌😎
Dude love these LONG vids your content just keeps getting better and better great job!
Very nice work!!
I can’t wait until I get more land which I’m currently looking for so I can build my garage from scratch.
Wtf. Your a magician ~ 👍🏼
This guy does it all.
🤙🤙
You did an amazing job.
The car looks crazy with the sunset @ 7:01
I love watching your work and the progress! I have a huge side space at my house in California where I work and paint outside too. Bugs and things can be an issue. I use a folding canopy that can help a ton FYI. I've used DupliColor and Eastwood 2K clear 'rattle cans' to paint wheels and body panels and they can come out just like a paint gun.
I remember the day this car debuted!! Is one of my all time favorite N/A cars of all time on the out side of the 90s impala ss.. these are the last of the real raw gm muscle car.. none of the new aged supercharged nonsense.. thank you for your content my brother you do such a great job!! Do u plan on selling this car??
Love this channel 🔥!!
Love the videos man she’s a beauty!!!
Unreal work!! I really enjoy this content. Keep it up

Enjoying all your videos. The V is looking awesome. Good work. Happy you painted the wheels silver. Not a fan of black farm truck wheels on seemingly everything. There's a time and place, I suppose, but not on the V.
Nice, watched the whole video!
