Nick is actually one of my good friends, and I’m going to help him clean out the garage in the spring. I’ve met his grandma and she’s very nice I’m so glad they got is fixed up because it’s a beautiful car and his family really deserves it. Incredible work!!
What’s the Animal situation? I mean it looks like there keep it a small, dark, cold & closed off section of a barn? In an urban city type area? I hope I’m mistaken but the farm animal situation looks Pretty bad for the animals quality of life.
@@exotics4life618 no they aren’t kept in the barn most of the time, they are let out into the yard (there is a large fenced off portion behind the barn) and she takes the animals to the fair every year. They’re happy
I had one of those Grand Prixs and also a Bonneville . Great cars . Wish I could have kept them both. People should stop calling wheel covers , " hub caps ". They're two different things. Hub caps are covers on the ends of the spindles or axels where the wheels are placed.
I love the fact that you guys always do most of it for the elderly people or people who just lost the connection they had with their cars till you come along, keep up the amazing work much love for CPT South Africa 🔥🇿🇦
Grandma looked like she was a teenager again... wow, you guys do some awesome work!!! Just seeing her face light up at the end of the video was well worth the 28 minutes of waiting for it... very cool !!!
Detailing is definitely an art. I tried to master this on my own, but I'm still learning. I really appreciate what you guys are able to do. I would like to learn more.
Yes, those are the original wheel covers. The wheels are 14 inch if memory serves correctly. There are fender skirts for the Bonneville line as well. My first car in 76 was a four door hard top version. Blue w/black vinyl top. This is a 1967 model year car.
14 x 6 steel wheels with 8.55-14 belted tires, or in today's sizing 225/75-14. 1 inch whitewalls were common, as was the dual white wall like the spare tire in the trunk. Tires in these sizes are getting hard to find, and many are for trailers, not vehicles.
A neat tip I learned from bicycle restorers is to use fine bronze wool instead of steel wool, steel wool imparts tiny particles of steel in the microscopic pits in the chrome and soon as it gets wet it will rust again very soon.
A tip I learned a long time ago is to dip the wool (fine steel/brass) into paste wax - the wax will help keep the rust from returning quite so quickly.
I have to kindly disagree in regards to steel wool. I have used it on some really rusty metals and chrome and it does wonders! The problem with must people using it is they use the wrong steel wool. It has to be quad zero steel wool (0000). Water and the steel wool together or even WD and steel wool works great. I also make sure to coat the finished product in some high end wax and polish.
I’ve used Eastwood rust converter on rusted metal and it works great. You scrape and wire brush all the loose rust off, then either spray or brush the Eastwood rust converter on the metal. The rust turns into a hard black primer that’s ready for sanding and painting. Great job on the clean up this classic!!
Hi guys, I am sooo into older cars, I have a 1988 Caddy Seville, I bought 2 yrs ago. I just wanted to tell you I love watching you detail. You have equipment for every problem. You guys are the BEST I've seen!!
The interior fabric is not Leather. It was designated Morrokide by Pontiac. However, it is really Naugahyde or Vinyl. GM used many different names to distinguish between brands what the material was. Great video. Love the content. Keep up the great work. Hopefully, you can get to a point where you are able to get vehicles running again.
Yep, when they kept saying "leather" I was like, no, that is vinyl. I not aware of leather being used in Pontiac - Cadillac yes. GM used vinyl for years, I remember all too well how hot it was getting into the car with shorts and getting burned!
@@groovy1937 Even the top of the line Buick Electra did not have leather as an option until 74 on the Park Avenue trim level. The odd thing is that Plymouth offered real leather as an option on the VIP as early as 1966!
Very cool video! I liked it very much! I am from Russia, a small town in the Far East. I remember myself as a child in the mid-80s. We walked in one of the districts of the city and a similar Pontiac stood near the house for a very long time. We circled around him, looked into the windows of the car. Then, apart from Soviet cars, we did not see any others. We really liked this car. It was apparently brought from the states by some sailor and for some reason this car was not moving. Maybe it broke, or maybe this sailor went on his next voyage. Cool, very cool. You Americans are very fond of cars, especially rare ones. This is noticeable and you can restore them, make them literally masterpieces from old cars. This is what I like about you. I like to watch programs on TV where you restore old cars in car services for someone. For example Cool tuning with Chip Fuzz.
I am so touched by the grandson and even wanting to drive this car. Amazed how well it turned out and the fact that the top is even still in one piece!!!
That is a beautiful example of a 67 Pontiac Bonneville hubcaps are correct this thing is in fantastic shape well worth putting some dollars into it and having the motor gone through and transmission
You guys do an amazing job. Who would have thought it could look that good again. I'm a big fan of Pontiac and I like the red floor mat. This is what cars are meant to be. Thank you for taking us along.
Wundervolle Restauration, und Aufbereitung des alten Autos.Die Oma war richtig glücklich, drin zu sitzen.👍👍👍🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️Mit Herz, Hand und Verstand zum Ziel , um alle glücklich zu machen.
To my eyes, this car is gorgeous. Color, style, size, etc. Love these big, late 1960s GM tanks. My first car was a 1968 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 convertible with 455 c.i. 4 bbl. I got it in 1978 when I was 18. Cost $1,000, which was a ton for an 18 year old. Great car. Miss it, and even still dream about it occasionally.
when doing your decon be careful around the window seals in these old cars, it can cause them to rot or deteriorate. I'm also in detailing, love the work guys!
That was amazing! I love to detail and her reaction was priceless! That’s my goal when I do a person’s vehicle! I wish you guys continued success, God bless!
I'm now 68 and have spent my life LOVING cars. My first was a 1965 Chevy Impala...4 door w/283 cu in. V8 and a Powerglide. It was owned by an elderly man and had 72,000 miles when I bought it. I drove that car to college and took many road trips in it. Dead reliable although the drum brakes pulled to the right...never could get them adjusted correctly. At 126k miles I reluctantly sold it and moved on to a 1971 Buick LeSabre. Those were the days...this took me back.
That's 1967 pal, my opinion the best year just ahead of the 68. Can't beat the stacked headlights and those awesome tail lights! Wish they made something like this today...Great video!!
I've had 7 different Pontiacs, my sister had a Fire Engine Red 1963 Pontiac Laurentien Rag Top which I think was nicer but that Bonneville is also pretty cool
As always, you guys did an amazing job on this car! I’m a Gen-Xer, so I grew up during this automotive era. I love to see gently used 70s cars such as this one restored.❤️🔥 It’s obvious they took great care of this car. And the fact that their grandson is interested in continuing the family car’s legacy is even more heartwarming.💕💗💕 I wish you guys could partner with a mechanic when you do these videos. I would have loved to see the grandson drive to prom in the “Bonney.” Great job!👏🏼♥️👍🏼
This is a amazing 1967 Bonneville in original condition after your fantastic detailing it’s something to be proud to own. I’d keep the hideous floor mats as they are most likely from that period of time, and also it’s something the grandmother most likely had picked out when first purchased. I also agree that the hubcaps are also original as they are exactly what I remember from that time period. I also remember the missing fender skirts as those Bonneville’s always had them when the car was new. I have a feeling that they are still somewhere in the garage since we didn’t see them in the car. The reason I’m also pretty sure that this one had them would be that there didn’t appear to be Crome on the wheel wells of the rear fenders. I hope that they are able to get the car driving now that it looks so awesome!
Look closely there’s no trim over the wheel wells which tells me that it did have them from the factory. The ones that I saw growing up that had them had no trim. Folks who took them off did so because of choice, and if ordered without skirts would have had trim on the well just like the front finders as you see on this car with its trim being there, and not the back. I grew up with the Bonneville’s in my family’s history. The cars were always beautiful, but the finder skirts were sometimes a problem as the cars aged. I still have a pair for a seventy-nine out in the barn even though the car is long gone.

A very nostalgic moment to see the love in the family. I did the same in the lincoln town car I got which was dumped and another Continental Mark VI. With limited resources it turned out great. Now I do the detailing in my daily drivers and friends cars. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. 👍
Loving these videos guys. For the rust, take a look into dry ice blasting. It might bring some decent success (super pitted stuff I think might be a bit tougher, but surface stuff should come off pretty well).
It's a pleasure to see you guys using as many of the original soft parts as possible. Makes this car(and the ones in your other vids) look like gently treated survivors. Maybe in future vids you can tell us what the odometer says!
I have gotten many barn finds on the road over the years.. to get back on the road will be between $2500-$3500 after tires, new fuel system, brake overhaul, underhood rubber components, all new fluids, miscellaneous repairs etc. Great video!! (Edit: this is assuming you are doing all the work, not paying someone!)
Same here! All the rubber turns to plastic, and the fuel system is a huge must to attend to. Engine gaskets and seals... I found out all of this the hard way 27 years ago! I have picked up some beautiful 7ps cars and thought that a clean garage kept body meant just tune up and go. The fuel system was smelling and acting weird. The car was smoking like a broke stove and lost power! I pulled the fuel tank that was rusty and old fuel. I pulled the intake and the gasket was non existent and the same with the carb and valve stem seals. I'm driving, but need new valve stem seals on my 1978 Dodge D-150 from Cali a few years ago. Happy hunting!
Amazing job you guys did with this sweet lady's car, ,it was very nice to see this young man holding his grand mother hand with so much love and respect . You guys Indeed get back this car to life to ride again on the road ! Congrats !...great job you've done !
Excellent job guys!!! 👏 Yes, those hubcaps are original to that Pontiac. That vehicle is one of many in “excellent” pristine condition. Shouldn’t take a lot to get it running & driving.
Awesome job. My opinion on the Mats is that they're hideous, but have been with the car probably since almost new, so I understand. Also curious why you didn't put the fender skirts on. They complete the Bonneville look!
I owned a 68 Pontiac Executive which is the same long wheelbase as the Bonneville [ 125 as opposed to 121 ] and it had the same quarter panel stamping and it had no cutout for fender skirts . Did all long wheelbase have fender skirts ? I appears not
@@WDDetailing look for the build sheet, take the car to a shop to do a basic tune up shoot some oil down cyls before start prime oil pimp to circulste drsin replace all fluids needs a tranny rebuild and replace all hoses belt flush heater core brakes bearings r and r about 3k in parts labor
I would guesstimate between $2,000 and $3,000 to get her up and running. All new fluids, filters, radiator flush, maybe new water pump, recore radiator, new tires, brakes, new battery and budget for a few surprises. The fact that the motor turns is very encouraging. Soft top might be repairable. Electric soft top mechanism probably needs going through. Good that it has a glass rear window. Just a wonderful original classic car! Keep her in the family!
After dropping the gas tank and flushing the lines then checking out motor remember these cars are bullet proof ! No air bags or computers too get in the way ! One week I can get it running perfect .
Hey buddy, how are you doing today? Let me just say that your videos are so relaxing and gratifying. I think you’re doing a fantastic job for you and the people that gets their car washed. You are changing lives one car at a time. I’m proud of you buddy I don’t even know you but I’m proud of you. I love your channel and I recommended it to everybody I know. Could you please let me know what kind of stuff you use on the outside of the car and on the leather interior hi would greatly appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
This took me down memory lane. My first car was a 67 Bonneville 4 door sedan all black. I bought it from a friend of mine for $150. It had a high compression 400 V8 with a 4 barrel carb and was factory rated at 325hp. I wish I had one like it today. What a tank!
My Friend bought a Used '67 Bonneville in 1975. I loved his car. It was a great ride! It was also nearly identical to the one in your video! Brought back memories!
I am delighted to see such a beautiful car rsurvive. My grandmom had a 1969 Plymouth Belvidere which was a road runner without the road runner parts. The car was a beast to handle on a good day.
Yes, those are the correct hubcaps for that car. The PMD stands for Pontiac Motor Division (of General Motors). I sold Pontiacs at a large dealership in Michigan long, long ago. Great channel!!
That Bonneville is so absolutely gorgeous. I love this one! The car held up incredibly well, too. The original paint, leather, etc. came out so good. Goold old American quality!
First let me say how Beautiful is that 67 Pontiac convertible is !!!❤ loved to whole process of cleaning cars, one of my favorite things to do ! Try Navel Jelly its pink goo leave it on for 30 minutes makes a difference, Great Job FELLA'S !!! All the Best !

We use SOS pads. Sometimes they’re just so old and worn away, there’s nothing more we can do
@@WDDetailing look for the build sheet, take the car to a shop to do a basic tune up shoot some oil down cyls before start prime oil pimp to circulste drsin replace all fluids needs a tranny rebuild and replace all hoses belt flush heater core brakes bearings r and r about 3k in parts labor
I've used Comet cleanser and a scrub brush to clean them too.
Best yet ,loved seeing grandma happy ,
I would guesstimate between $2,000 and $3,000 to get her up and running. All new fluids, filters, radiator flush, maybe new water pump, recore radiator, new tires, brakes, new battery and budget for a few surprises. The fact that the motor turns is very encouraging. Soft top might be repairable. Electric soft top mechanism probably needs going through. Good that it has a glass rear window. Just a wonderful original classic car! Keep her in the family!
"Only a mother could love that face" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love to see old people beeing happy!
You guys did a really nice thing for that lady. Great to see. Keep up the good work.
After dropping the gas tank and flushing the lines then checking out motor remember these cars are bullet proof ! No air bags or computers too get in the way ! One week I can get it running perfect .
Save time, replace carpet.
The carpet you would replace it with would not be as nice(quality) and be expensive. Well worth the time it took to clean it.
Grandmas precious!
Amazing work guys!
My late older late brother had a 69 Pontiac SJ Grand Prix.
He adored it.
It was a great car!
I love these videos, and seeing the reactions of the owners is priceless, congratulations 👏🏻
Парни, вы просто красавчики!!!
Очень круто и четко все сделали, машинка преобразилась необыкновенно!
Эмоции людей в конце видео безценны!
Hey buddy, how are you doing today? Let me just say that your videos are so relaxing and gratifying. I think you’re doing a fantastic job for you and the people that gets their car washed. You are changing lives one car at a time. I’m proud of you buddy I don’t even know you but I’m proud of you. I love your channel and I recommended it to everybody I know. Could you please let me know what kind of stuff you use on the outside of the car and on the leather interior hi would greatly appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
This took me down memory lane. My first car was a 67 Bonneville 4 door sedan all black. I bought it from a friend of mine for $150. It had a high compression 400 V8 with a 4 barrel carb and was factory rated at 325hp. I wish I had one like it today. What a tank!
Vous faites vraiment du très très bon et beau travail Félicitations à vous tous
My Friend bought a Used '67 Bonneville in 1975. I loved his car. It was a great ride! It was also nearly identical to the one in your video! Brought back memories!
What a great transformation! The seat are in amazing condition. I hope he got it running in time for his prom.
I am delighted to see such a beautiful car rsurvive. My grandmom had a 1969 Plymouth Belvidere which was a road runner without the road runner parts. The car was a beast to handle on a good day.
Absolutely amazing work guys!!
Lovely gift for Grandma!
Guys, you are really cool! You gave this lovely woman pleasant memories! It's priceless👍
The joy in her, what beautiful moment 😊❤
Great job, you are a great group of guys,I wish I could get my 1973 cadillac looking that good, her smile was priceless 😊may God bless you all !!!
This is one of the greatest detailing video of all time!
Yes, those are the correct hubcaps for that car. The PMD stands for Pontiac Motor Division (of General Motors). I sold Pontiacs at a large dealership in Michigan long, long ago. Great channel!!
Thats a pretty darn cool car to go in prom with. I saw a 64 Mustang at one of my proms
ชอบรายการwd ครับ คุณทำให้รถที่คนอาจจะลืมไปแล้ว แล้วทำให้มันมีชีวิตขึ้นมาอีกครั้ง และทำให้เจ้าของรถ ยิ้มได้ บางคนถึงกับร้องไห้เลย
Glad I clicked on.. Seeing an old school get so much care has touched me
That Bonneville is so absolutely gorgeous. I love this one! The car held up incredibly well, too. The original paint, leather, etc. came out so good. Goold old American quality!
what a fantastic job guys! Truly amazing!
I came across your reels on FB and had to come watch the full video. Doing these restorations for free is amazing so I had to sub!
Grandma is just a sweetie !😊❤

Her reaction was priceless
It's a 1967 , beautiful find. I love it, kj
Yes I love the spotted red floor mats!💗
Beautiful resurrection. I like how the trunk emblem now reads "Bonn l" - it's like the car wanted some vanity, and now it shows!
Turned out beautifully
