Carol is a true artist. Her choice of paint and other design modifications show that. I need to find me a girl that is so excited about cars that she taught herself to hot wire, right?
@WestCoastAutoCraft8 жыл бұрын
You are right stingray. She was so active and very involved in every aspect of the build process. I mean REALLY active. She made ever decision.

My mom drives a 2010 Camaro RS with a 304 HP V6 and seeing a mother driving a hot rod is cool enough but a grandma driving a hot rod is even more awesome.

Carol is awesome. What great car! It is so cool to see this kind of ride and this kind of owner featured on big muscle. She seems like the kind of classic car owner that truly loves her car. Love is what will keep this hobby alive. 9:55 is spot on. Great quote Mike.

I know times have changed and things will always change because time keeps moving but my god! The curves, the humps, the wide running board, that grille, the profile, what were they thinking, how did they even come up with a car design like this, what was it about the 40s that made them think of a design like this and why can't they do it now, this car is just beautiful. So much charisma, so much character, so weird, so cool.

@elguapok208 жыл бұрын
+Yannick Bislin Kinda ironic because this car seems to be more about how it looks than how it drives, I'm sure it drives just fine though. It kind of is a status symbol due to the whole comment about not wanting any other car on the road to have the same paint as hers. No hate at all, love the story, love the final note, but I don't know if it really fit in this video.

+Mister mood totally depends on how much bodywork it needs in preparation for paint. If you email me at chris@westcoastautocraft.com i can give you sone scenarios.
@TheKyotu8 жыл бұрын
+Mister mood just guessing from a Bodyman perspective, your looking at anywhere from 4-10 thousand or more, labor to take it all apart, make sure all the parts will be able to go together easy, primer, sandpaper, time/labor, paint materials, colorsand/buff/denib/buff/buff put it all back together, make sure gaps are correct. just a full paintjob can take nearly a week if the car doesnt need cosmetic work and everything is there.
