    Richard and Christina…nice job. It is fun to watch this type video. Many of your younger viewers don’t have funds to do a full body off restoration and this proves making a nice cruiser on a budget is possible. No sponsor help just $400. Do a little at a time. Nicely done. Now for the exterior…not that patina crap after Christina cleaned up the interior. Instead go for a rustoleum roller paint job then wet sand and buff. Stay safe.

Many couples have no idea how much more fun a marriage can be because they don't work at finding common things they can enjoy doing together. That bonding is impossible to describe and I miss it so much! Good luck on finishing the rest of the car. She looks great (Christina, but the car, too!)

(Those old Cadillac seats might be able to be made into cool living room couches. I think that would be an idea worth exploring.) Lula looks great! Awesome work Richard and Christina! 👍👍👍

( after voting season was up ) If you use some materials that some viewers don't like then by all means have them send some funds your way but till then Mija you work with what you have.
