ideas here on how to kind of customize everything and make it look a lot more uh prettier so to speak i guess pretty is a good word custom yeah but yeah we got all this going on here so really we're going to look basically kind of like this [Music] we're making our own custom fuel rail here so we're going to have another one we'll have another one right here okay and then we're making two custom lines one here and then one here with a 90 degree that comes out sweet and then off of here we'll have another 90 that's going to come around to our fuel pressure regulator yeah that'll look pretty cool it'll look really good once it's done yeah excellent excellent so yeah we wanted to give everybody an update every day i tell everybody how far we're getting but we're moving right along cars

uh gonna show you guys uh a bunch of clips anyway when we're at the body shop while the pr while it's progressing and then this one's next as well this one's going to be leaving uh in a day or two to to head out so that way she can get uh pampered and uh treated the way she should be of course so yeah right what do you think thank you sturge [Music] for me personally i set a standard with this car yeah and it got to that point and everything that could go wrong went wrong the motor the paint well you know what she'll be fixed just like we fixed a million other things give everybody an update too on the l28 the l28 i'm actually doing if you guys could see we're doing hard lines of course for the uh carburetors so we're actually doing all a en fittings it's gonna look pretty cool uh cleaned

else touched up cleaned up so yeah progress progress we are three not even we're about 19 days away from our deadline uh for our buddies uh showdown at the raymond james stadium at uh clash of kings five so that's where the car is going to be introduced uh and shown so off to the uh off to the body shop so we'll we'll uh we'll have you guys tag along with us all right so we just got to the body shop this is my friend miguel mcr enterprise he painted my gtr as well a while back there she is sitting here nice and comfy waiting her turn we got a brand new balance that was uh shipped over uh this balance came in from japan it's going to replace the one in the front it doesn't necessarily need it but we have it so we're going to do this now while we can engine bay is all set ready to go they're going to add whatever whatever other finishing touches so yeah they got a really cool fast pack there as well as that the mustang uh nice maserati in the background also these guys do a lot of great work clean work i've been very very happy with everything with him in the past or you know we'll continue to work with him but uh yeah everything is good to go we're here dropping her off so see ya see ya so we're leaving her and color color guys wait do you see the video we're probably gonna stop the video here after the um i'll show you some initial process of some of the prep work and everything like that but before the color is laid on the car we're gonna pause the video and then do a whole new introduction video so anybody that wants to guess here's your time right now to guess so i can almost guarantee you so the process has begun the stripping down is started hopefully by the end of this day the car will be all stripped down based on what was said getting her ready and prepped up that looks so funny without the flares [Music] the good thing is everything's gonna be stripped we got all of the rubbers everything here rear seals all that so it's gonna be stripped down to nothing so we can make sure we hit every single spot getting ready [Music] what do you think bud will she be all stripped down by the end of the day oh yeah yeah all right this is our friend johnny he's gonna be handling the car the car is definitely in good hands so we're very happy of course to say that and can't wait to see this thing all stripped prepped ready we'll be following through we'll be giving you guys updates on the channel you'll see the the whole process actually through this entire video and then of course uh when the car is all done you'll see the finishing product as well but as i said the stripping has begun so you know i don't know man mixed emotions this is crazy i can't wait can't wait all right well signing out for right now we'll give you guys an update tomorrow once we come back i don't want to be too much of a nuisance to these guys too because i mean they got work to do but everything is getting prepped up so we should be good to go [Music] so uh cut to the chase we don't hide here well no we don't hide anything man i mean this is this is what the the master over here just uncovered i mean you guys can see i mean the car definitely needs attention man and disclaimer i mean everything's chassis of the car no rust frame rails pixels all that but it's just important yeah i mean the car when you have it up on the lift you look at the chassis i mean you look at it it's fine but then you look at some of these parts down here another door right on the doors on the bottom i mean yes it's a 50 year old car i get it it needs the love and attention but they're gonna go through the whole car right now we're gonna make sure that everything is properly and correctly and of course uh done so you know i guess we'll just have to to see this is day two of the stripping down and preparation work so uh i figured we'd share this with you guys so you guys can see it too like i said we're not hiding anything we want to make sure you guys see everything that's wrong with this car we want to disclose everything a brand new uh panel is going in here this is the valance right like a front balance this was shipped this is all going to be of course replaced but um yeah i thought we'd share at least to where we are at this point [Music] in the past but let me tell you man i don't know who had this car previously but they take that on this roof on this car looks like look at all that extra coming off unreal it's like was just caked on here to be honest but the good thing is everybody everything's being worked on everything's going to be fixed it's going to look amazing when it's all done and that's what we're waiting for to see the final product so to speak [Music] so so we're pretty much in the final stage of preparation as you guys can see everything's off doors hoods windshields have been taking off now uh final preparations done to everything fenders all that stuff so that they can get it in hopefully uh this wednesday it's gonna go in for paint let me tell you a lot a lot of work went into this car we did not expect to have that much work done but at the end of the day with all the work being done the car is going to be exactly how i want it to be so uh it kills me that these wheels are still on and i know people are going to be like oh my god but you know we're bringing in a set of wheels to uh throw on before it goes into the paint booth but yeah as you guys can see here a whole shitload of repairs were done everything was uh touched up everything was cleaned up i gotta give these guys a lot of credit man a lot of uh not a lot of work went into this it looks depressing right now but it'll be okay hopefully primer you said tonight today yeah so today it should be primered so yeah so just thought i would check in with everybody you guys can take a peek at the car and like i said i'll be here once we've gotten primers and everything so we can take uh another quick video and an update [Music] so [Music] [Music] all right so it is kind of loud in here because the air is on but the moment of truth here the car is in the booth officially all taped up all ready to go she should be painted today and hopefully hopefully um looking sexy so everything's off glass everything's off as you can see so um i can't wait man this is gonna be so awesome so awesome so yeah give you guys another update this is the final update right now so the next time you guys see this car we will be um assembling it revealing the new color all of that and i hope you guys really like it so thought i would share all right so to all of our viewers we're gonna explain you guys i'm gonna let the owner here mr miguel he's gonna explain the process because this is a four stage paint so miguel what do you think man yeah we're gonna use the pre-step which is the gray color for the 46b uh mazda color which is red metallic pearl so this is the first step it's a great sealer okay cool gray sealer great sealer that's a big gray because you put another uh kind of sealer or uh brown color as the color is gonna change so it has to be kind of specific it's going to be a specific dark gray okay then after this one we're going to use the step number two which is just the color oh baby it looks like orange but after you put that one you're gonna jump to the step three okay which is just just a candy color it just looks watery but this yeah yeah it's just wow okay after this one we're gonna jump to the critical uh step but that's the one that's gonna make uh shiny if you're good on the clear because you got it buddy awesome man i can't wait you guys this is where i had my gtr painted as well uh this gentleman is amazing uh he's not only not good at what he does but honest to god this car was stripped repaired set up prepared everything in a matter of days i'm just very happy he knew that i was trying to meet a deadline and he's really nice enough to get me to uh to meet that deadline

it's the next morning i'm like absolutely blown the away when i see this the color is just amazing you can see the pearl and everything that sticks out from the color when it hits the sun it's just unbelievable uh miguel and his crew here have gone above and beyond so far my expectations i can't wait to see this car all assembled and everything and cleaned up uh wow so it's amazing i'll show you guys the doors in the back of the hood here that just everything's just sitting here baking away but you know you can see when the sun hit look at that when the sun hits it oh my dear god it's just
