    What an outstanding paint job! I like everything about it. The skill of the painter made most of the difference, but I believe the dog's supervision also helped win the day! I hope you see all three of you taking your completed project out on the road soon! Aloha!

    From bringing it home on a trailer, to the mechanicals, through body work and paint. A great set of videos. Great content. Thank you. I wish more CZcamsrs went through the entire process like you and your Dad. I think I can say that everyone watching wants one more episode to show the completed car.

    Joining cut panels so you cant tell that its been repaired is a real art, it doesn't mattenr how good the paint is it wont hide bad panel work. So congratulations to youre dad on getting the body work tip top shape with a beautiful paint job to go, well done chaps looking forward to the finished car.

    So, the Shorts just showed me your channel. I noticed that you were a bit hesitant to ship that sweet caddy limo out of the country but how you changed your mind.
    Let me make you feel even better about that.
    I live in Sweden and the classic car scene here is huge. I have lived in a number of small towns (2.5 - 10 k population) and there are SO many 30-70's cars in immaculate shape.
    On the street I live I have two neighbors who each own 1955 convertible Ford Thunderbirds, the ones with the spare wheel on the rear. One in a perfect cherry red and the other in super clean yellow. All restored to perfection.
    There are regular "cruise meetups" when the season permits.
    The larger Cadillacs are no rare sight either. just yesterday I passed a SUPER clean black 53 Bonneville with a matching camper behind it.
    So, all in all, the love for classic cars is still alive and well over here. You can feel good about passing those gems on, they will live on for a long time. :)
