One day, you should have Ernest visit the WD shop in Cleveland. If he gets the opportunity to have the Chevelle restored, it would be great if he drives it out to make a cameo appearance.

If it was, everyone would be doing it. But you guys knocked it out of the park. One bit of advice for your next job: Expect the unexpected. Always go in thinking it's the worst job you can imagine and that you'll need every possible tool.

As some others have posted... Goo Gone (or another of the citrus-oil based cleaners) works wonders on adhesives while being gentle on paint. A plastic scraper or plastic dish scrubber works well on this type of adhesive deposit also. A small bottle of Goo Gone and a plastic scraper would not take up much room in your kit bag. Big shout-out to Ernest... he sure has some patience to keep after Cholo all these years until he finally got the Chevelle, and then he did the right thing and called WD Detailing to do the clean up/restoring of paint which allowed us to see the process!

What a beautiful car and great job! Too bad about the tape, but at least you can really see the potential of this car… It’s going to be amazing when it is up and running! I love older cars and I have owned and daily driven both 1970’s Mercedes and late 60’s Mopar and I would say Euro or American vintage rides are going to give you lots of smiles per mile… Older cars usually have communities of fandom which surround them and that adds to the experience (and parts availability network). American cars generally are probably easier to find parts for locally, but it really depends on the make and model. Great video!

I’d want this car. I had a 71 Malibu 350 that I learned to drive on and loved that car. I tried to get my dad to buy the SS 396 with a 4 on the floor in the original green with the racing stripe but the insurance for a 15.5 year old was too much - over $400 per year vs about $100 on the Malibu with an automatic. I remember the sticker on the SS 396 was $3,800 and on the Malibu was $3,500.
