More of craftmanship than art, art was and still is BMW itself

Нет причин восхищаться. Состояние автомобиля не такое страшное, как его пытались представить в начале. Тот факт, что на нем много пыли, является не показателем того, что за автомобилем плохо ухаживали, а тем, что отсутствует сквозная ржавчина кузова, винты легко откручиваются даже в местах, которые обычно ржавеют, как фары. Цех с гальванической ванной ближе к заводу по оснащению. Такая работа для них вполне возможна.

This means it was NOT ABE's axe...ding dong

@@JK-mh3ld Thank you! I have never heard of this but now I know. I just looked it up and it is indeed a very interesting thought experiment.

Same

Agreed.

La restauración de estos maestros ha transformado este carro de elvis de una montaña de escombros a una obra de arte,bravo por ellos q hacen con su trabajo el milagro de la resurrección.

Yo tengo conocimientos en restauración , esto simplemente es increíble, aquí no andan de payasos y sustituyendo partes , aquí las hacen o restauran prácticamente a mano . Simplemente son artistas, bien lo comentaste . Quien no conoce le aplaude a cualquiera q encuentra un vehículo sin picaduras solo lavan y pintan , me ha tocado ver videos españoles que pintan hasta con espray. Saludos

Made in Germany . there is nothing better

👍👍👍

He bought it white. Had it painted red to discourage female fans from writing on it with lipstick

I should send them my Pinto.

That is/was a beautiful old neighborhood. I am fairly new to the area, but have worked out at Ft. Sam a few times, and love the old buildings on base and along New Braunfels Ave and E Grayson.

@@SteakLover001 When heading to the UIW campus, I like driving through that neighborhood and seeing the old homes.

There Is always that one person who wants to put a chevy in it.

The thumbs down are because they replaced about everything on the car. So nothing original there anymore. I'd call it a kit car now. It didn't even have a motor or transmission. Nice work though, but can't call it his car. More like this car is like the car Elvis had.

I don't think Archmaster is an English word for what these gentlemen do but I do understand the intention of what you're trying to communicate to us. A truly more awesom group of professionals artisans has has never done this kind restoration work any better.

it s bad

i agree completely, these idiots on here bitching about restoring a car don't seem to understand whats involved and/or accepted, if you replace a door, or skin a door, does that make the car a copy, or if you cut the middle out of a panel and weld a new piece of metal in, is that better than replacing the panel, i try very hard to stay away from the comments when watching all the videos on youtube but for some reason im just drawn to them. one of my personal needle in the eye is these assholes that constantly say patina, why the hell would you leave rust on a car, the rat rod crap, we didn't do that shit in the 40s and 50s, us poor boys made what ever we built or repaired look as best we could with what we had, it doesn't take much money to use wire brushes and steel wool pads and sandpaper and spray cans. most of our cars were just as spotless under neath as on top. to me patina, and rat rod, are different ways of saying lazy.

Yes it was originally white. Women kept kissing the car and leaving red lipstick marks.

You mean the vaccine scam?

en admettant que cette BMW ait bien appartenu à Elvis , le travail que nous avons vu n'est pas une restauration , mais une copie . On voit d'ailleurs à plusieurs reprises dans le garage , deux voitures parfaitement identiques !!!!

Improvement Restoration Modification. That is critical, because, every factory always cuts corners in order to save money and make higher profits. Many times factories cut horrifically despicable corners to save money.

Technically, they did restore the car. Then they upgraded it.

Its more than restoration,its a art i think

That is what the word restoration means...to bring back to original or better condition. Doesn't matter if it is a car, piece of furniture or art work.

They replaced everything, basically destroying history.

what do you think paid for the rebuild they auctioned of all the bits

Очень красивая реставрация. Авто достойно музея.

It's not crazy...I can do things properly or sloppily. We Germans prefer to do things properly. That's why we build the best cars and motorbikes in the past and today and not the Americans or anyone else.

@@HBertacco wow, that's a lot of bullshit you're stacking right there.

@@jamesmiller210 if i were an american, i would probably see it that way too. what exactly is bullshit about my statement?

@H. Bertacco, do things properly? You mean like the way the Germans took care of the Jews?

@@jamesmiller210 very intelligent answer and so appropriate to the topic....

Original BMW parts???? The engine is a chevy. They couldn't get the BMW 3.2 that Elvis had put in after he bought the car....used. Every body was reworked by hand and vast parts hand made. Very from BMW parts.

Surprisingly, it was not possible to find the engine that had been installed specially for Elvis. So, instead of the 150 hp 3.2-litre V8 lightweight engine from Bavaria, they used a large-volume engine from Chevrolet.@@crazyheadgarage2599 www.bmw.com/en/automotive-life/bmw507-elvis.html

@@crazyheadgarage2599 Yea doesn't look chevy to me either. That's why I looked it up. I was so surprised the King had a BMW, I mean the guy known for Caddys had a BMW.

It's a ton of long, hard hours, frustration, back breaking hard work requiring seemingly infinite patience too. Definitely not for everybody.

…‘intact state‘…? really…? The chassis had been cut out in the engine section to accomodate a V8-Chevy-engine that never should have been there. I‘d say the chassis was quite a mess.

Americans are just generally loud and obtrusive, but are getting somewhat subdued now that they are a third world country. United they are absolutely not.
