  • I decided to try to clean up the Oldsmobile a bit with some CLR and a scotchbrite pad and it worked pretty good.

      Paul G , Maybe not CLR and a scotch brite pad. However ospho would take the rust right off. I know this because I work on a sea going tug boat and we battle rust on the daily.

    • @Motovader72
      @Motovader72 Před 5 lety +7

      Just because you don't understand how or why it worked, doesn't mean it didn't. Rust bleeds through small holes in the coating and spreads. Rust does the same on chrome yet chrome polish removes huge patches of rust to reveal the chrome coating beneath.

    • @jackblack9208
      @jackblack9208 Před 5 lety +5

      Paul G , it's not the original luster. He polished it with rubbing compound and then waxed it. If you put several coats of wax on something it it going to have a shine to it.

    A true classic, from when cars were cars. Vinyl bench seats, AM radio, 3-speed automatic on the column, and a big V-8 (I'm guessing maybe a 371, or a 394) with a 4-barrel carb, power brakes that would throw you through the windshield, with power steering that you could turn with one finger. I miss these old tanks. I've driven many of them, but I've never owned one. And you did a great job with this one. Keep up the good work!

    I once bought a 68 cougar xr7 black/white top in Arizona. The paint was dull and looked gray in color and the top was sort of a tan color from years in the sun. I went over the paint with rubbing compound and then put two coats of Duraglow polyurethane sealer (from J C Whitney) on it and then several coats of wax. I used vinyl top restore on the top and when I got done, it looked like I had just restored the whole car with new paint and a new top. A lot of love went into that car and it was worth it...

    Good video. Doing this process made a big difference. The best part about your effort is that you protected the body from getting worse. My experience with wax that doesn't leave white behind is that it doesn't last as long as regular wax. I see almost a few years have passed since you did this and I'm thinking you should check it to see if there's any wax remaining on it. It may be ready for another waxing by now.

    So finally, I also added classic six carbs a better cam and Jardines long tube headsets tuned for broad torque. I put on Holly economizers for the two center carbs so it now got 12 to 15 mpg! Amazing! As long as you did not crack the end carbs. But when you did this 4200 lbs vehicle would take off like well, like a rocket Oldsmobile if you held the trans in 2 and then in 3 speed. Finally sold car to my cousin who still has it. Wonderful memories.....

    Great! I’m going to have to do this to my 63 Fairlane wagon. Maybe I’ll make a video lol. My car looks a little rougher than yours. Great job!
