Restoring The Grill Bottom On A 1930's Car Or Truck

  • Опубликовано: 17 май 2022
  • Hello again! In todays film we will be repairing the severely dented grill chin panel on a 1935 Chevy Master. These lower grill panels are often badly damaged on 1930's cars and trucks and tracking down a usable replacement can prove difficult, if not impossible. Fortunately, repairing a smashed up original can be achieved with basic tools. Also stay tuned to the end for a short documentary on cats playing golf.

    That's a pretty amazing reclamation there !!! That piece looked like something that fell off and got run over a few times !! Heard about "Knee Action" suspension a few times as a kid but never had any experience with it so, yes, seeing how that old system worked would be kind "fun" !!!
    Obviously, you are well aware how "strange" all of us who are willing to "dig up" a totally wasted piece of antique metal and spend a fortune as well as a lifetime making it look better than it EVER did in its entire history !!! We all have to admit, it's a sickness, putting it kindly, and/or an "addiction" putting it "not so kindly" !! ;o)
    As an "ancient" California old car fan, I would favor a slightly "low front" rake, with the "big and little" whitewall tires ( ?? 2.5"), solid steel wheels, trim rings, and small caps. Chevy had some "kool" color combinations for the 49 and 50 Chevies. Mixing a couple of those colors between the basic body and the pin-striping/wheels always look great with the whitewalls, solid wheels, and trim rings.

      Sounds like I should hire you to be my new musical director! I figure if people a couple thousand years ago could discover metal and figure out how to make it into stuff then there's no reason why a twisted piece of pre stamped metal can't be straightened!

    I got off RUclips for a while and unsubscribed from all other channels except yours. You take junk and work it into something of value and often beautiful. Your patience is rare.

    Hey I'm with you as far as going out into public , and yeah dosent matter if you do it like somebody else as long as it works for you is all that matters , maybe the guy that's says you're not doing it right is not doing it right, I never tell another person he is not doing something right unless he is totally off base and then I might make a suggestion just to help him out but would tell him that is way I would do it but not that I was correct either just the way I would do it!
