clean paintbooth = not much work. Why have they not much work? Well we can look at the blonde colour they passed as "wood effect" and the fact the painter couldn't even colour match his own work. This is not a good spray painter whatsoever so we must assume his booths clean because its usually empty
@@farmerjon_athan Yeah maybe. Hes went to yellow on the base and has clearcoated it too flat it has no patina look the colour flip is all wrong. The repair id recomend to darken it off and get it looking more like it used to is to sand back and layer up with two flow coats and over thicken the clear knowing it will darken the browns and the last flow coat shoot on thick as a orange peel coat so that adds the patina look that will match the old one. You can see the orange peel difference from old to new when he holds the rocker cover to the door quarter. Steves confused as to why the colour looks matched one minute and not the next its because the new paint is too flat it looks 2D the older one the colour flip is darker it looks more 3D at any side angles because the base is darker and the old one has heavy orange peel akin to an older Mazda or a newer BMW in darker colours its orange peel is adding the to the patina makes the old one look more realistic at an angle or in shades. I could make this look like it should and look more like it used to in maybe 5-7hr just a wind back and 2 clear flow coats.
Indeed, but personally, those black Welds kill the whole look for me, I'd personally go with a sick set of polished matching 3pc Bogarts, 15Xwhatever he's running in the back (16"?) and maybe 17x4.5 or 18x5's in the front to show off the design of the wheel, but so much better than Welds IMO
Steve. You make the very best educational videos. Every time I watch, I learn. Man what I'd give to work around you and your team. Man has to have dreams. Right?
That would drive me nuts too. The front clip actually looks like it’s a different shade, than the doors, then the rear quarter. Almost like you have three different shades of wood grain going on there. 🪵
That car is absolutely amazing. The technology is "over the top". You keep "raising the bar" for everyone else. All your dedication and hard work is paying off. Can't wait to see it go down the track.
I love that you changed into the Boost fixes everything shirt. I'm wearing mine now. Actually my second one. The first was unfortunately cut off of me by paramedics after a bad fall from a ladder which resulted in a broken hip/femur. My wife and daughter ordered me another after they found out it was destroyed.
I used to work in a bodyshop about 20 years ago. Watching him paint and use marbleizer actually made me miss painting. Then I think about the 120+hr weeks and remember why I quit. Indy cars are cool when they're going around a track but painting them definitely took some years off of my life.
It’s great to see you excited and happy about the wagon and how it’s turned out and all the improvements…. I grew up with Pontiac’s and then Chevy’s dad was a mechanic on Pontiac’s then chevy so we had Catalina’s then caprice,lots of big cars,he was always buying and selling used vehicles
That black Hemi is pretty cool and all, but that Wagon is smokin' hot. The woodgrain paint is amazing, Todd is a highly talented artist. Can't wait to see the Wagon back on the track!
That's Exactly What I Was Thinking!!! This ALL Started With A Cooler Line Failure And Oil Spraying Inside The Car On Fire!!!! Agreed!!! Transmission Tunnel, Transmission Tunnel, Transmission Tunnel!!!!
That paint job looks amazing. 14:11, high and to the right. That looks just like white oak that's been quarter sawn. Wraps are very effective and some do look good, but the work of a talented painter is a thing to behold. The SMX logo at 14:40 is amazing. I've seen actual burned wood that doesn't look that nice.
As a painter since the 90s, drag car builders, machine shops were my favorite customers. I get a fresh rebuild every season, they get a fresh paint job. I ate the materials and labor, they did the same.
Watched this a few times now and i like the guy and i like his body prep and fixes for your panels and most of his work. He missed the chance to fix the overly yellowed 1st stage base at the time and we do the marbeliz(s)ation process a lot different to that method you use but we are 5000 mile away in Scotland with brutal weather so thats to be expected. If theres any chance you can get him to do a flow coat job on it all at once Steve he could get the older look patina colour flip back in it and darken off the browns to give the correct shade of the darker grain and still keep the stadium happy look good but more 3D and correct to the way you had it. Easy way to match this up and fix the 2D bleached out look what i personally think looks like a RC car shell painted from the inside look by only one quick going over with Mirka scuff pad (dont flatten it further with block or paper sanding) and two flow coats. The first flow coat go on as heavy as it needs to darken the yellow/ browns, as soon as he sees it shade dropping call that the first flow coat, let that tack off and skin over and go straight on with a second flow coat to orange peel match the older finish. The older finish the peel is what we in the UK would call heavy 😂 Its what Mazda used to come like as they skimped on the base and thought hose on the clear will give it the final luster. BMW use the same tactic now on their darker colours. Its not hard to correct mate but it does need darkened off with a flow clear and the final flow coat the peel made to give it its 3d look back and its patina and general wood grain visibility from angles. Thats all i have to say really it could be matched up and have the older look back with flow coats.
I love mother earth and smoke trees and plant them and looks amazing even better in the sky after work great job always learn something even if its tree time..... :)
So glad to see more of the wagon but not as happy as you, ha ha. The paint looks great, especially under good light. Lot of people comment on the paint but with a job like that lighting and camera settings can make a huge difference like making things look like they don't match because they have different light bouncing off them.
I always knew it was airbrushed and not vinyl. But it's finally nice to see the guy in the skills that went into it. Vinyl has cheapened the industry and there is just something special about air brushing That final cannot recreate. And I wish the ghost SMX logo would show up on camera because one of my first custom paint. Jobs was ghost flames on a Mark 2 golf GTI it was black with pearl ghost flames and I did it in my boss's shop without his permission.😂😂😂... Luckily for me he was impressed and didn't press charges for using the paint. Although I did pay him back for the materials........ And they cost way more than expected even 20 years ago.😂. Anyway, thinking about that car. I'm Going Out to the shop to finish it. It's all wheel drive ABF 16v clone sixteen valve and i'm replacing the holset hx35 turbo with a Garrett now that I can afford it🎉😂😂😂
The wood grain under the hood is mint. Have to poke being a welder. The intake pipes have a few welds that pop, would have been nicer looking taken them down flush. But your time is amazing from your wagon to that hemi. But mint you contribute. Have to say, Great Job Mr Steve. 👌
Steve with the wood grain, it’s that fine attention to detail that 1 in 1,000,000 people actually have. Noticed the different base coat in the paint. Even his painter had to have a second look lol. And the boost numbers are way better. I’d say your problem na has been directly related to the cam profile and piston speed, boosted this thing is a monster
Jet Pumps & Camshafts - can be head scratches for toque curves RPM range performance application, boat hull, etc,etc, speed hull planes so on,salt water versus fresh
@@JustJay2Das this hemi has shown, there is no replacement for displacement. Here I am running 40psi making 1000hp and they are making double that on half the boost. Nuts
That Hemi seems to be a very expensive deal for that amount of power ( I do realize though it is constrained by rules and a jet pump). The Wagon is looking better than ever with very nice upgrades . I am sure you have enabled the oil pressure shut off as well. I hope all goes well at the track. Many thanks for the video
Should put some PPF on the removable panels to help protect the paint when they are removed. I would actually PPF the while car since it is a street car with a awesome paint job.
The BoostMaster2.0 looks good. I dont know about 30k for a paint job but it does look nice. During SICK SUMMER here at Great Lakes Dragway I will have to see the paint in person. I have to say Your Wagon and the Engines you do are 1 of a kind done by a MASTER. You, The Family and All there please have a great week. I will expect to see daily videos Thursday Friday Saturday and sunday. PLEASE. BOOSTMASTER 2.0 FTW
one for working in the wrap industry for 5 years now. You can absolutely achieve a real wood grain and have it actually look real or as real as paint. If what you saw looked hazy or even fuzzy. No to knock on anyone here, but whoever you were going through to get it? Did things half assed OR just simply don't have the capabilities to achieve that real wood grain look. We've done wood grain at my shop on several occasions, and it's always turned out great! Massive fan Mr. Morris! Cheers!
Don't forget the cause of all this work Steve. Your transmission tunnell .Would love to see you polisher the taillights . One of your greatest fan in North Alabama . Boosted is where it's at wagon rock.
What about using some paint protection film (PPF) on the edges around the rear opening you made for the quarters. That way if you bump the parts together the ppf will stop the parts from chipping.
But, because you have done something unusual here, you have learned a lot about Mopar stuff for future engines (i.e. what cam profile works best etc etc). Interested to see what the next cam can produce.
Check out PEM or DMI lightweight gear sets if you want to reduce the rotating mass in that assembly. Large difference from that of the winters gear sets.
Legend has it Todd learned all his skills working at Hibachi Paint and Body
Lmfao excellent. That crew...so influential.
Na, not enough bondo was used….
@@JS-.- we only saw after paint we didn't see the other 10%.. he did mention he had to work on some areas 🤷🤷🤣🤣
Not enough waviness or gouges in the filler work. Also no dry spots in the paint. No way he learned anything from them.
The time slip is what matters! Not the paint matching!
That is one of the cleanest Paint Booths I've ever seen.
That's how all paint booths should be 👌👌

Steve. You make the very best educational videos. Every time I watch, I learn. Man what I'd give to work around you and your team. Man has to have dreams. Right?
All the wagon needs to complete the look is a family of stick people on the back window...... Maybe wearing racing helmets. 😁😁

Great call matching the manifold and valve covers
Wow! Todd's work is absolutely incredible! Looks fantastic.
You should tip your painter. He didn`t put any knot holes in your cold side. No knot holes, no boost leaks
😂
I thought I remembered you saying that when the car hit the track again it would have a trans tunnel in it?
Car looks better than ever Steve.Todd you do amazing work.Great job!
Wagon looks fantastic. Happy for you
Body shop/Paint masters always amaze me with their skill.and talent... Beautiful job
thanks for sharing Steve!
goooolly the amount of attention to detail
You can tell how excited you are and how much you love the wagon. Cant wait to see it back on track! It looks amazing!
Looks great under the hood and exceptionally better door handle pockets, too. The removable quarters came out really nice.
I love that you changed into the Boost fixes everything shirt. I'm wearing mine now. Actually my second one.

As a former Chevrolet tech!!!! I remember those wagon and allways thought! A race car wagon would be rad… YOU DID IT STEVE👊💪🥰🙏❤️🔥💯
Unbelievable how your car came out Steve. It looks awesome.

Closer perhaps but, still miles away!!
When nothing but, the finest will do! Very cool!
Sick summer hopefully👀….I wanna see it sitting at the line on the chip
So glad you had him redo those door handles, my OCD was banging the high side
Nice video,,,glad to see the wagon coming along….hope to see you at sick summer..🇺🇸😎
Love all the wood, love all the glass, love the removable quarters, love the BoostMaster Wagon!
Wow, that dude is way more high than me. Good stuff man.😊😊😊
Absolutely awesome engine. Thanks for sharing Steve.
Transmission cover , transmission cover . . . . .fluid spray from a failed hose is a bad thing plus the interior will be cooler.
That's Exactly What I Was Thinking!!! This ALL Started With A Cooler Line Failure And Oil Spraying Inside The Car On Fire!!!!
Agreed!!! Transmission Tunnel, Transmission Tunnel, Transmission Tunnel!!!!

Absolutely Beautiful Work.

Steve a good pre-round and post-round checklist. We had a list for each time we had to use our equipment pre and post. Saved our butts more than once.
Use a heat gun or hair dryer around dowel pins. I use it on my procharger gear drive and procharger itself. Works like a charm.
It's gorgeous!
