The car looks great! What a great project. You can now drive it and start to enjoy it but still do upgrades and changes to anything you don’t like. Terrific job!
My wife saw me watching you paint your car. She said, "he is doing what? Why is he doing that way? You wouldn't do it that way." 😂. Love you channel and your personality. Have a Merry Christmas!
It's great that you have put it back together and almost ready for the road! If it was me I would get one more can of paint and spray the roof without pre sanding it. I would lay the most of the prodic at the top of the quarters and around the perimeter and just mist it over the middle. then I would wet sand it tell the rust comes through and most of the orange is gone. I would think it would match a lot better. But at the end of the day, it's your car and you are doing a great job!! My first car is a 68 nova ss I restored with my dad 18 years ago and it's the same collar orange but with black hood and trunk stripes, i drive it all the time tell the snow shows up each year.
I have to commend you on your hard work and dedication to getting these cars that are ultimately destined for the scrap yard and getting them running and driving again. The cars that you have put back on the road can be enjoyed not only by you and your family but many others who have fond memories of them on the road many years ago. They can be improved on and still be enjoyed while making improvements instead of being left to rot behind a shed or in a storage unit. Keep doing what you’re doing saving these vehicles. I am proud of your hard work. Merry Christmas!
Dan, The hood looks amazing! I would try and match the rest of the car to look like the hood if you can still get it done under a budget, my two cents worth... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours!!!
The Ventura is my favorite low budget you did what most people’s budget will allow, I especially love you put a six cylinder three speed manual in it no one does that don’t change a thing it looks great
Perfect! My favorite ride was a "rat rod" '87 S10 pickup done with $40 worth of W-mart rattle can black primer. Enjoyed DRIVING that rather than washing, buffing and waxing. Big block 427 Mercruiser out of a boat tossed under the hood DID account for some of the fun👍👍
Love the channel! I love the Venturas because they are rare! I'm OK with the spray cans. But to be honest it wouldn't have taken more than a couple of weeks to DA the whole car and prime the whole car and spray it all one color over prime. I know it's a budget job but to me that car deserved more. P.S. I hate patina. Merry Christmas to you and your buddy Mike and your families!
I gotta agree, if I’m going to something like that I’m going all the way. But regardless it’s his ride not ours. And paint is quite expensive when done professionally 😬.
Nothing wrong with rattle can on an old rig. Lots of guys act like every classic car needs an immaculate paint job. Great thing about rattle paint is it’s cheap, readily available and you can use it as needed anywhere and have touch up paint anytime you need it. I’ve rolled on enamel and rattle canned. Better than rusting or rotting somewhere. 👍👍
There is nothing wrong for you to make it the way you like it . There ain’t another 1 like it anywhere .Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
SprayMax paint is awesome and very forgiving, I use it so much I buy cases of the 2K clear, I use it for engines, large panels and motorcycle restorations
Dan you seriously do the best patina Nova builds on RUclips. This turned out so good! I would recommend a little more blending up on the roof though, looks out of place where your orange paint sort of just stops. Rattle can if up further and slowly blend it out to the top of the quarter
I think it turned out awesome, I love it I often tell people I grew up in the 70s and back then it had to be Hot Rod magazine quality or it wasn't respected. You guys nowadays are doing cars that the average guy with limited skills and limited budget can do and be proud of. Keep up the good work
My pride and joy is a 74 Ventura my grandmother left me when she passed away. Hatch I speak for Pontiaddicts admitting if you ask for a Pontiac 350 good chance you'll get it free. Sorry you gotta use the 6 in a row ready to go in a chevy truck project.
It does need some more orange, especially on the roof ! But thats just my opinion ! Lol ! You are doing a great job on the car. That car would look really Awesome if it looked and shined just like the hood does. Back in the day I was a broke dude . Driving a 72 nova with a ventura front clip on it. All my friends thought it was cool. I still wish that I had it.
I like what you do to these cars,get them mechanically sound and drive them. I personally don't see the fun in a complete restoration that takes years and too much money,only to then have it sit because the weather dictates your use of it. Shiny cars are no fun. Keep doing you!
You should run the buffer over the whole car now. I did that on my 64 galaxie and it turned out awesome for shitty old paint. I dig ratty muscle cars! For those upset with the paintjob, just remember. He did put a 250 inline 6 in the car.
If the roof doesn't have a hole in it now and you don't do anything to it it will have a hole in it shortly. Rust never sleeps and it will continue to eat the roof until it is gone or you do something about it. It needs some paint as do the other exposed portions of the car.
Love it! Totally get your vision and what you’re going for. Especially like you said, it’s either in the budget or not, we’re all just here for the ride anyway! 🍻
I was kind of excited to see it shiny and in its original color, but you did a great job on it regardless. That’s tough to do, I have a patina 66 olds you can see on my Chanel, I think you should have done the roof to match, keep it sealed at least right, good vid!
I think painting the whole car, then sanding it down would’ve looked better. But that’s coming from a shiny paint OCD kinda guy, so take that with a grain of salt! lol
Great work man! Such a cool car. The paint isn’t for me. I love patina. But for some reason this just didn’t do it for me. But it’s your car! So all that matters is you like it!
I would have like to see it fully rattle can painted, even though the body work isn’t perfect would still be a nice car. That being said, it’s your car, if you like it, to hell with me and what everyone else thinks
What you still could do is prep it a little more go to a maaco and what you will have in paint see if you can get a close collor match they will prep it final and let them paint it cheap I think they have some specials for about 200 bucks plus a warranty I remember car craft has a article on on a budget how you can get a decent paint job if you prep it yourself you can still do it and would make a good video!
Good job...nice job.. I'm not sure why you bought a single stage in a can..get enough paint whole car...those cans must be how much$50? Cmon let's hit it again and respray it with some quantity you can be sure all of the colour matches....and make a box fan with furnace filters..get some air movement pulling paint across car..and exhaust outside..please exhaust outside...please
Make the roof look more like the hood. That's just too much rust patina on the roof. that roof won't last long looking like that before it rust through.
Gotta say, not a fan of the "patina" look.All I see is rust. Patina isn't rust. Patina is wear and evidence of use. Rust is evidence of neglect. It's great that it's all back together and running though. I think more millennial patina gys should embrace the $300 1985 MAACO paint job look. Orange peel > Rust All that being said, paint is just paint and can be fixed at any time.
You nailed it when you said " makes zero sense ... ". That said, it doesn't have to. Not to me anyway. Getting it back on the road is the important part, the rest is in the eyes of the beholder. That also said ... I want to say the roof, fender, and door look horrible ... but that's not really accurate ... they fit the overall theme, but just clash too much with the rest of the car. Their level of " patina " ( I really despise that word ) is too far from the rest of the car. In the end, it's up to you and what makes you happy, but you did ask for opinions.
I hoped you would just make it all in 1 Color but you did not and went for the fake Patina 😢 I do not get it, why do all this work, just put the spray max epoxy primer on it. Then a nice color(s) of your choice and clear coat it heavily. After that a good cut and polish, works so nice. I did this myself several times and everyone thinks it is a professional job and go crazy when I say it’s done with rattle cans.

Dude you gotta paint the roof and the hood and fender I love it but the car deserves it
The car looks great! What a great project. You can now drive it and start to enjoy it but still do upgrades and changes to anything you don’t like. Terrific job!
Looks awesome bud good job !!! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well 😊

It’s your car!! Do what you like! I’d like to see 70 Nova get some love
It turned out pretty damn cool! Merry Christmas to you as well!
It's great that you have put it back together and almost ready for the road! If it was me I would get one more can of paint and spray the roof without pre sanding it.

It's looking good all back together. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Love what you do! Merry Christmas|
I really dug your budget build mentality. You’re saving these cars with what you have. A breathe of fresh air in the X Body community! Bravo!
I would definitely drive it! Good job, and enjoy the videos! Look forward to the next. Happy Holidays!
I understand wanting to keep patina but damn it looked good for a single stage rattle can job before you sanded it down. Merry Christmas
Great job!!! Ventura's have never really gotten any credit. What a great alternative project.
Man... it came out great!
Love the petina look!!!
Gotta admit I didn't get on board with your vision at first but I'm diggin' what I'm seeing from here...nice job👍
The Ventura is my favorite low budget you did what most people’s budget will allow, I especially love you put a six cylinder three speed manual in it no one does that don’t change a thing it looks great
LOOKING GOOD MAN 😁 THE RUNNING GEAR IN MY 68 CHEVY P.UP COME FROM A PONTIAC VENTURA (85) RUNS GREAT FOR A 305 ! !👍
Perfect! My favorite ride was a "rat rod" '87 S10 pickup done with $40 worth of W-mart rattle can black primer. Enjoyed DRIVING that rather than washing, buffing and waxing. Big block 427 Mercruiser out of a boat tossed under the hood DID account for some of the fun👍👍
Looks good brotha merry Christmas
Love it bro, car looks sweet as hell. Love your videos

You have inspired me to look for a 68-72 nova.
Looks awesome!!!!!
Like you i love ratty novas, so keep on keeping on!
Awesome job brother bringing it back to the road,is what it deserves,and Merry Christmas from my family to yours also.
hey brother! paint turned out ok 👌 we knew going in that you were not aiming for perfection so with that said i like its look
Looks cool Merry Christmas
Its a car again! Congrats
I will quote my father " Ya done did good, kid"
It looks good and its the way you want it. thats all that matters. Merry Christmas right back at cha!!

I would have liked it all one rattle can new color, BUT it does look cool and it’s unique and yours which is all that matters!
Great job kiddo merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
I dig it!
Nothing like a solid driver. It looks great. Look into ames performance for all your pontiac parts. Keep doing what your doing.
I had a '73 Nova, I believe it was called "Competition Orange" Whatever it was, it was really pretty...
My pride and joy is a 74 Ventura my grandmother left me when she passed away.
Hatch I speak for Pontiaddicts admitting if you ask for a Pontiac 350 good chance you'll get it free. Sorry you gotta use the 6 in a row ready to go in a chevy truck project.

Where did you get the cans done at need to do the same thing for my 72 Nova thanks and love the videos man great content
fapco.com this is the company I ordered the paint from. Call and ask for Vinny he’s very knowledgeable and super helpful!
I like what you do to these cars,get them mechanically sound and drive them. I personally don't see the fun in a complete restoration that takes years and too much money,only to then have it sit because the weather dictates your use of it. Shiny cars are no fun. Keep doing you!
Looking awesome Merry Christmas to y'all
The paint looks great. But i agree that you should paint the rest of the vehicle to keep the rust at bay.
Merry christmas !

@@five-oonsene545 that VGG clear looks pretty sweet and I would think seal a bare/patina spot if it was properly prepped
The cars looks great awesome!
The Krylon Kid strikes again!!! Lots of waves in the body. If it was blue it would look like the ocean.
Love it🤘 paint is stupid expensive for the average guy so this is a damn good alternative.
Pretty sick man❤
Merry Christmas!
It looks 100 times better
Looks worlds better.
You should add a comfort zone garage heater in your garage
looks great
Love it! Totally get your vision and what you’re going for. Especially like you said, it’s either in the budget or not, we’re all just here for the ride anyway! 🍻
Hey who does the music at the end of the video? Thanks and marry Christmas
I just want to know why u didnt do the roof
Merry Christmas.
Patina keeps rust that grows later.It's a cop out for beauty.
cool
Paints good need to do something with the roof. Otherwise it’s a great car !!!!
It looked pretty good out of the can, I’m pretty surprised
Where did you purchase the rattle cans?
I was kind of excited to see it shiny and in its original color, but you did a great job on it regardless. That’s tough to do, I have a patina 66 olds you can see on my Chanel, I think you should have done the roof to match, keep it sealed at least right, good vid!
Dude you gotta paint the entire car
merry x-mass and where are you going to put this one
All it's missing is a reef on the front grill👍
I love the dull finish, but I'd have done it all over. But it ain't my car!!!
I think painting the whole car, then sanding it down would’ve looked better. But that’s coming from a shiny paint OCD kinda guy, so take that with a grain of salt! lol
Great work man! Such a cool car. The paint isn’t for me. I love patina. But for some reason this just didn’t do it for me. But it’s your car! So all that matters is you like it!
Killer job on the paint looking like a legit survivor
That’s not a machete that happens to be a icing spreader for cakes
Please paint the whole car then dull the paint
I would have like to see it fully rattle can painted, even though the body work isn’t perfect would still be a nice car. That being said, it’s your car, if you like it, to hell with me and what everyone else thinks

That's a crazy tool.That would be good for a house not a car!😮
Good job...nice job..
I'm not sure why you bought a single stage in a can..get enough paint whole car...those cans must be how much$50?
Cmon let's hit it again and respray it with some quantity you can be sure all of the colour matches....and make a box fan with furnace filters..get some air movement pulling paint across car..and exhaust outside..please exhaust outside...please
Spray max, super quality ! German quality....
I sell this mark....in France 🇨🇵 !
I work for auto distribution, is't the same o'reilly...in US !
Not my thing, after all that work I’d have just painted it with a mat finish, all one color. Still, you saved one👍🏻
I will never pay for special color mix in an arisal again. It didn't match and I found a closer match on the shelf at the hardware store
Not my preference and not my car , good job on getting it back on the road , I can count on 1 hand how many venturas I have seen
Why orange?
Make the roof look more like the hood. That's just too much rust patina on the roof. that roof won't last long looking like that before it rust through.
Should of used a primer sealer several coats and wet sand and wet sand that will hide alot of mistakes
good job but i would paint the roof and door also ... now its a half job it looks like,,
