I had an HR many years ago, spent a lot of money on it but it got stolen, never to be seen again. It looked good but nothing like this masterpiece!
Mate how much open door resprayed? Two tone vh sle. Ta
Great work mate. This is years old, but still glad it has come up in my feed 🤙
G'day Guys 😊 im a 58 year old car nut from bundy & my very first car i ever owned when i was 17 was a beautiful HQ sedan Blood Red V8 lowered & it had a small racing steering wheel 👍😜 She was a beautiful fast car back then & cruising around in it on weekends with my mates & our girlfriends was some great times in early 80's , love the HQ Ute you guys are doing 😝 Top work shop you have there well done 👍 Cheers from Bundaberg Qld 🍺🕺
Could you please tell me how much would a project like the HR cost $$$ ? it would be very much appreciated & handy to know ! Your team did amazing work & im sure the owner was very happy with how his HR turned out 👍😊 Steve from Bundaberg Qld.
@@stevewilson8752 hay mate, All The body restoration work that was done at Reid’s came in at $60,000. With approximately 500 hours of Labour put in. $120 P/H with restoration work is the average in the industry. This was a big resto though so not all take this long . Thanks you for the support.
Looks beautifully done for 3 coats 👍😊 Ive seen some of them American car resto shows where they'll do 4-5 coats of paint & up to 5-6 coats of clear ! They do look good & glassy/wet BUT so does your work with slightly less ! Goes to show the LESS IS MORE Saying is true hey 👍 Nice work guys 😜 Cheers from bundy Qld 🍹🕺
Rust treated & sealed properly 👍 Love the HR (classic 😊 ) Ive watched all the American Car build shows on Foxtel for many years & love the Resto work they do ! BUT to see an Australian Fella showing his work shop & all the processes of restorations / paint is fantastic hey 👍 You have a very professional team there brother ! Great quality of panel work & love seeing how its all done ! Brilliant viewing 😜 Cheers from bundy Qld 🍺🕺
@@stevewilson8752 thank you very much mate. I totally agree that’s it’s about time we see more Aussie’s giving it a crack and showing what we can do with our classic history. I’ll keep doing this for this reason so than you for the support.
Its amazing what a nice paint job can do for a car 👍 Great work there ! Must be a top buzz when you stand there looking at a car YOU just cleaned up & gave a fresh paint job to hey 😊 Satisfaction 100% Cheers from Bundaberg Qld 🍹🕺
Beautiful work matey 😝👍 i personally would give you my car to clean up & give top paint job any day 👍 il be checking out all your videos & store your work shop information on my ph for when i need some body work done on my 2004 VY Holden Calais V6 in the not so distant future 😊 Cheers from steve in Bundaberg Qld 🍺🕺
What ClearCoat are you using mate ?
Lookin real good mate🏆
hr, the last good holden they ever made.
Beautiful job mate 🎉
Bloody magnificent job. Would love to see the car when finished.
@@marcodebarkingville1827 thanks mate . I’n a couple Months it will be back to my shop from the trimmers competed . I’ll Post the final walk around . Thank you for the support .
When you look at the parts There is nearly enough to rebuild the car form scratch when you look at the car your no why that's the same car
Love it, I had one exactly the same colour too, got stolen when they were being stolen for the seats etc I wonder if that mine🤔
The workmanship is fantastic but sadly people have no idea the time and work that goes into a project like this and the cost at the end. I had my fathers HR Special that I wanted restored and was advised that the starting price was $35,000 so guess by the time it was finished this could have ended up in $70,000 price range these days. In the 80's I had a HR Ute resprayed twice at a cost of $5,000 a time, how times have changed.
@@ashleyflint3501 your absolutely right. This one finished at a humble $60k for the body work only . Although it sounds overzealous I can honestly say it just covered costs with very little profit. I do these restos for the love of it I suppose. Thanks for commenting
@@reidcustomgarage Thank you for your reply. As a young lad i hung around the local crash repairers shop, to me it was an art seeing the owner bring cars back to life or even giving them a change of life. He once painted a S series valiant Burgandy , which was originally White, man that car looked fantastic with all the lines of the body work. It was great watching that HR come back to life. As we both know , Money is not everything in life, just ask a truck driver !
Your Seam Sealer by Brush is Very Messy Also dont wet rub with your fingers,,after blocking,,Palm it so no finger marks. Why 3 Coats of Clear? Because you rub down your last coat with 1200 or 1500 Grit? Also Crap Spray Gun TRY De Villbiss Iwata Or DV1 Sorry but your work is good but your Methods not for me Goodluck
Awesome job guys thumbs up to you
Mate - mint!! what would a ballpark cost be for the work you did on this hq?
@@jono7017 thanks mate. This one was at the value of $20k. This includes the body work and materials at $120 p/h @ approximately 150 hrs , and new bolt kit and rubber kit . Few other bits and pieces
@@reidcustomgarage great to know, thanks very much. Newly subbed 👍👍
Fair price eh.
Beautiful results ❤🍻🍻🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🏔🌨🦘😎👍🇦🇺
Nice work.
Wow, those front panels needed some work to fit them. Were they brand new?
@@WesW3187 the only new items we put in were . nut and bolt kit , rubber kit and floor pans . Everything else existing was restored. Thanks
😥🐳
Hi there, one toners are stil hard work
Wow, what a great job . I did my apprenticeship as a panel beater in the early 80's . nice work .
Bloody beautiful 👍 job
Fantastic looking job guy's great car well done! Wish it was mine.
Nice job Glen , what clearcoat did you use mate ?
How long did it take you to do?
Lovely paint job 🙂.
great work guys
Well it won't look good if a 2-year-old kid has welded it up
Didn’t see any kids in the smash repair shop….
Looks like someone went ape shit on the welding
Simply stunning,well done lads.
Fantastic workmanship. Well done!
I am impressed by the panel gaps you have achieved given these cars came from the factory with far from perfect panel alignments. If only I kept the HR that I owned many years ago, it is so hard to find a shell worthy of investing this much money on these days.
Very nice job Mr Reid. 👍. It looks like the owner is restoring this car back to original, from the colour. Maybe?
Amazing work Glen👌
Very emotional for me - I had one identical, was my mothers car and it got taken from me while I was away. Was never found 😞SA plate RER986 if anybody ever sees it but doubt she survived. Really enjoyed this one - Thanks.
Im doing up a HD for my first car that'll be my daily. I'll definitely be putting kill switches and all that in it
where are you guys located?
Hi, We are located at 47 Chetwynd Street Loganholme Qld , 4129. Pop in anytime .
App’s are lottery a winner good job man. From a painter to you spot on mate. 👍👍
I love old Holden's I've owned at least 1 of every model except FJ or FX, and VF i think its great guys bringing them back to life and its important for our motoring history and Australia's home made from the engine to the body and we did it better than any other country for 70 years you've done a killa job except the firewall should be Black as it was from new
Thanks mate , and I tend to agree about the firewall . But must do as instructed by the owner . Thank you for sharing .
Awesome work, I had no idea so many replacement panels are available.
Fantastic work. A credit to all your team. They only thing that disappoint s me is seeing the engine bay in gloss and by memory the firewall in colour as when I used to paint them when smashed we could get a perfect factory match engine bay by using black dulon tint and mixing acrylic primer to the black tint . The result being a slightly semi gloss the boot areas were also the same. Anyway thats just me as I like the factory look. I am a retired painter it was called coach painting when I did my apprenticeship at a large inner Sydney Holden dealer smash repair shop. I retired almost 6 years ago after almost 50 years painting.
Thanks for the feed back. I agree, however I must do as the client instructed. Thank you for sharing your experience here. I’ve been painting cars for 24 years and still learning every day .
@@reidcustomgarage Black is black , i want my baby back. Just do what the customer wants . Great job .Its a credit to you and yr team.
Super clean and super professional. My only question is, why go for the closed door respray?
Hay Thanks, I just wanted the panels sprayed together with this particular colour . I don’t do all restos this way but for me this would guarantee even coverage . Thanks for sharing
Mate do yuh.self a favour & get a BigFoot! I just got the 21 cant believe I didn't get one sooner!!
Hey mate just came across your channel and seen this build was using a handful of my HD HR repair section. Awesome to see the car and my work on the car good job mate Wayne
That’s awesome mate. The sections were all supplied by the owner John Papa , who I guess got them from yourself . Good to know where I can get them in the future.
@@reidcustomgarage yeah John is a awesome guy i cant wait to see the car finished and yeah any mate i make a heap of stuff by hand
Love the colour well done
Doesn’t the deoxidine affect the epoxy? Or did you strip it off after?
No , in my experience, as long as you do it properly sand the epoxy surface’s , clean the deoxidin residue off and blow dry, then re coat primer immediately you should not have a problem.
@@reidcustomgarageok cool, thanks for the reply.
I used to also spray the deoxidiser with a bottle and scotch brite then wash off with water and a spray bottle. Then blow dry. Any trace of deoxidiser residue the primer wont adhere to.
