It's not very often that a suggested video comes across my KZfaq where I feel an instant connection with the hosts. Yesterday was one of those days. Feeling like a bag of shit today so instead of working on my project, I think I'll binge the channel. Love the 55 guys, hell of a score!! Cheers from Southern Alberta, Canada.

Unfortunately, the paint is flaking off the car everywhere. They painted right over the previous paint job with no prep so it’s just not holding on. What came off while washing it would’ve blown off at 100mph anyways. We definitely recognize the historic value of this car and have no intention of defacing that historic value in any way we can control.

The "spider webbing" on the sides may have been intentionally sprayed as an effect. It's done with under reduced lacquer paint and medium to high pressure. I think it can only be done with a standard siphon feed spray gun.
