So much respect to whom ever sprayed this, it's so slick that booth is on point.

It's nice to observe the retro work done previously and making a beautiful upgrade. A new interior would have been nice too. Good job.

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

Well... That's gonna be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future.
Thanks.

I see this was done in 2018 (putting together the video), did anyone go back and put Fin Tips on the end of the exhaust pipes?

The other car that I would love to see because I lost track of it that also had come out of Rods shop was Harold Olsens 46 Chevy I remember Rod had it for some time sitting in a display window wearing grey primer then after a while purple primer after that I know that Harold had taken it to Gene Winfield for a Tequila sunrise fade job then later painted a brandy wine then it seemed to have DISAPPEARED

[@herryzalzainuddin2265]

Use Black chrome is more beautiful

[@fabiantolano2080]
