    Amazing restoration, and what a surprise to see my logo being etched! That made me chuckle.

    While not the intent with this build, but with the effect of from the CD coating and the pre-painted clear wheels you had the beginnings of a strong vaporwave (or perhaps even cyberpunk) aesthetic that would be interesting to see explored.

    • @somitomi
      @somitomi 3 года назад +14

      Yup, I had the same thought when I saw that iridescent effect and I think that sort of aesthetic would really match this car.

      Even the body of the car looks like the very vehicle that visited me when I caught the vapors while viewing vaporware videos, that was a vivid specter of spectra-flame vivisected into a vibrant pink and purple. It was quite the vision.

    Woooah - sum it up. You can: paint parts using brushes, aerograph, poweder coat, you can etch, use electrolysis, plate parts, and apply metallic paint. You can make stickers, laser etch, and wet transfer. You can 3D print parts from resin, cast from metals and plastic, and uh, cut from CDs. You have full paint booth, nice surface to work with and decent camera setup. You're narrating your videos with calm, rich voice, explaining step by step, and building library of how-to videos while sharing your project cars, or other way around, while showing off your projects you're teaching the community how things are done, while also mentioning don'ts, pitfalls and failures. The last part never changed, but you've come long way from start of your channel.

    Hey BM, always enjoy your videos, I gotta make some constructive criticism about the tyres, the ones you printed were far too tall in the sidewall and lacked a very necessary vintage sidewall profile, Modern radials are more flat sides and square to the tread while classic vintage tyres with a racing style to them have the sidewall bow out then taper back inwards to the tread and rim, also that period a small guide ring was moulded into the tyre to help guide a thin white line so popular in Europe back then, tyre profile is VEEEEERY important to keeping things period correct and stand out a LOT to a car guy like me, anyway just my opinion

    My favorite thing about Aircraft® brand paint stripper is the big warning on the label: NOT FOR USE ON AIRCRAFT.
    The car came out amazing, particularly given what a state it was in at the start, but I think you're right that the wheels are too big. In the comparison shot, the restored one looks like it's in some kind of spurious "off-road" mode like they always used to give supercars in TV shows in the '80s and '90s. :)
