  1. good job but to be definitively efficient, you should put grease everywhere. grease et the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind bumper, behind (inside the car), behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside hidden ereas – instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year.Handyman Experience – 35 years. From france

  2. After stripping my car, found out just how much I am over my head. After a long day and a long shower, open youtube and for some reason this popped up. This gave me inspiration to keep going after being so demoralized

  3. I remember watching this back in 2007 on SpikeTV. One year before I bought my 66 Pontiac, so I was pumped for the LeMans episodes. It’s amazing how times flys. Too bad Lou didn’t stay on the show.

  4. This guy is annoying…content is great but his “sing song” delivery and shitty humor gotta go..Btw, why the hell would anybody put this time, effort and money into a Pontiac Lemans?

  5. Nice work! A full quarter panel would have eliminated most of the issues you had – unless of course, only the skins were available at the time. Nice fab work though. Work on these old beasties long enough, and at least some fab work will be required. Especially if the car is one that you cannot buy the whole damned thing out of a catalog. Like a Cadillac or Lincoln.

  6. Another more commonly used method used in bodywork was lead, rather than brazing, but you know, here we are in the modern day and health concerns and yada yada yada.

  7. Damn I remember this episode, used to watch this every Sunday. Like you guys reposting these old episodes, I learned so much from all these guys.

  8. Great video! I love learning new skills and yeah, making mistakes is all part of learning. My girls like to remind me, "Dad, practice makes progress." Thanks for the inspiration.

    Friendly tip if you're interested: Don't wear gloves when you're using a bandsaw, table saw, or other moving part machine. Too easy to get it caught in the blade and it will then suck your hand through the machine. My friend's dad lost half his hand in a saw accident because it caught the tip of the glove in the blade and sucked the rest of his hand in before he could react!
