I just really wanted to share this.

Did not want to post it on the 60-66 board.

This is possibly the maddest resto(s) I have ever seen. (there may other be people out there that do it though)

Read the thread to get the idea.

I was just imagining if they lived in a place like America or the UK, how they would give the guys on National Geographic an amazing program to film.

I always wish I could help people like this in some way, if they are able to do so much with so little, imagine what they could do in a decent workshop.

He has some video clips in the thread as well.

Here is an example of their work.

THE BIGGEST PROJECT IS IN THE THREAD.

Taking a 1976 Lincoln Continental Mk IV from this.....

To this.....

Or this 1967 Ford Taunus 17M from this.....

To this....

I really do wish someone would "discover" these guys for reality Television.

man, those guys are awesome. I bet they could become millionaires if they were in the US

Pretty impressive!

I do have to add though... that I HATE seeing pics like this... it's a dust mask, NOT a respirator!!!

Grizz1963 · 01-19-2013, 03:16 AM

Yep...... A dust mask indeed.

As mentioned, imagine hime in coveralls with a respitator and in a spraybooth, rather than a cow shed.

For the results they get, note absence of copious amounts of primer etc, they could do wonders in a first world setting.

I have never seen a hood "delaminate" like that. That car must have been stored next to the ocean or have been found at the bottom of it. Amazing.
