Funny Video, just like watches women don't know or care about our shoes, lmao

I have basically the same car. I have a couple 72s. Anyway those wheel wells I sanded down like you did then I used Por 15 on them and they came out awesome. Been on there for 3 yrs still look amazing. I used Por 15 on pretty much everything that I wanted black. I like it because it goes such a long way. Has a nice clear shine to it as well. Anyway a metal rust inhibitor used on plastic wheel wells who knew ?

well we stayed at the same hotel 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just a couple minutes into it and I think it's stupid

Great job for at home

Robert,I ve known your shoe cobbler videos. I knew you bought a car to restore, and knew you had previous experience in auto body. Keep up the great work!

If you have the hood clearance, use the Victor. The Torker is OK, but it's ancient and the plenum is small. It'd be interesting to see a dyno test or some track times between the Torker and the Speedmaster. I stopped racing 12 years ago and just do restorations now, but I had a Victor on my 468 Olds and the car ran 9.30 @ 148. Low speed performance was great.

Thank you so much. I remember this car at the track with my dad and a family friend who ran an Olds. A true piece of history !

Great video thanks

I met Joe in the early 1980's on a road trip down to So Cal. He left a lasting impression on me. He was slammed in the machine shop at that time, but I talked to his wife Mary who was in the office at that particular time. As a side note, also met Mike Thermos of NOS fame.

Amazing job and to take it on your self is a big deal ! I can't say enough .I used to do anything, anytime and loved and lived for a challenge especially some of the best bike builders in the world and drag racers , especially real nut insane rocket scientist,s telling me Its impossible,it cannot be done!!!! And I would do it one time on a 96" big boar stroker this guy was doing massive whole shot,s from dead stop,he was big and heavy b and anyway he pooped the clutch at W,O,T and sheerred off or whatever i took it apart what was needed and got to the oil pump drive shaft witch was hardened,heat treated steel,my phone is all fd up but glitching so got to stop but my point was that i cut through that oil pump drv.shaft by hand, yes I did ,got through it,2 days later,and more

That was a great video. Very honest work. I couldn't imagine trying this at home. You should be very proud!

never fear criticism,you have obviously done way more than most of us ever could and did an incredible job.....i had a 72 chevelle 2 door hardtop i bought rough but drivable i just fixed the visible holes,missing lower fenders etc ,shot in paint to try and match the rest and drove it..........i wanted to go to this extent but life got in the way

Props to you for tackling this paint job. Lots of hard work. One thing I’ve heard is you should wet your concrete floors to limit dust.

Hi Robert! I have followed you for years in your shoes tutorials! I'm also a "petrol head" and have been closely watched your transformation of the Cutlass! Terrible starting pint of hidden nightmares, but your starting to pull it all together now! Imperfections there will always be on a project like this, but as yourself mentioned its you and you only who determine what's good enough for yourself! I would perhaps put a bit attention to the roof drain molds (inside), which seem to be a bit on the rough side in respect to overall finish. Well done Sir and looking forwards to see the end result! Kind regards Jørn from Norway.

Came for the shoes, stayed for the car vlogs! Great work, Bob! Kudos to you on this huge endeavor! Really motivates me to try something new. Look forward to the next one.

Great work you should be proud of 👍

You are a savage!

Like the way you go about the job but please loose that awful music

AMAZING JOB Bob! Look forward to your next video. You are an inspiration!😊

Came out Great! Great Job! You really worked very hard.

Hats off to u my friend. We are all our worst critics. Looks good to me for a single guy doing all the body work and painting. Congrats!🎉

Hi Robert. I enjoy all your content. My question is why you would not just replace the front fenders with new A and D reproduction fenders from summit? They seam reasonably priced and the time savings would have been huge. I am in a similar situation and i havent decided witch way to go. Its eith patch panels on both or replace them. Thanks.

Robert, thank you for this very informative video. I knew Topys/sole protectors existed, but didn't have any idea of all the different brands out there. I do have one pair of Italian loafers that are of glued/cemented construction that had the Topys (in this case, not the generic Topys, but the actual Topy branded sole protectors). I was thinking of having them removed and then trying to convert them to either Blake/insole stitched leather soles, or even having them converted over to a Goodyear Welted shoe (if even possible). After this video, I'm just going to wear them as is, and when they get thin, just replace the Topys. This shoe is extremely light and elegant, so the very thin Topy brand sole protectors are appropriate for this application. I also have recently inherited my dad's shoes. He used to work as a sales person at a higher end mens store (1960s-early 2000s) when they were still around. There is a total of about 35-40 pairs of shoes in all. Some are in great shape, some not so much. One pair is a brand called Louis Phillipe. I don't know if it is a well known brand or not, but somebody went to town on this pair. The uppers are tooled leather (in an elegant way), they are fully leather lined, and they have not only a leather layer on the inside of the heel, but a suede layer on top of that. They are obviously of European origin, being Oxfords, but have a chisel toe. I don't have much else. The inner sole is also leather with the name of the brand and in larger letters Luxure. Even the sole bottom is engraved, not just with the maker's name and the Luxure logo, but more of the same type of leather tooling as the uppers have on the forward part of the sole. There is some wear to the sole, but the stitches are fully intact and have some way to go before they will contact the bottom of the shoe surface. The only real issue is that the shoes are Blake/Insole stitched because there really is no welt to speak of. I am thinking of either trying to get them converted over to Goodyear Welted shoes, or just adding sole protectors to them. I know that these shoes can only be resoled maybe 2-3 times before they must have the inner sole replaced, so I think that using a sole protector will be a big help in making sure these shoes are usable longer term. Is my thinking OK with this?

Thank you for posting this. I already know how to do it now, but it will be helpful to those who want to learn.

Excellent job

The tires look friggin awesome Rob, I had deep dish cragar and I had 15's 50's in the rear and 60's for the front, Mickey Thompson tires and I had my wiring harness replaced at the Klinic and they did a great job 😎👍.

Thanks for sharing this video with me, I totally enjoyed seeing it and your olds cutlass which I owned at least 25 cutlasses when I was younger and I loved all of them, they were very powerful machines and had a awesome body style and very reliable and my first old's 71 cutlass that I bought from a good friend in highschool cost me $1000 and looked very much like the one that u have in the video and mine didn't have any rugs in it and the front fenders were primered but the rest of the car was without any issues, so I began to work on it and added a lot of goodies and I took it to the Atco speedway in Atco new jersey and it ran low 12's in the 1/4 mile and I was very impressed with that so I was hooked on cuttlass's ever since then, enjoy your build and have a blast from the past 💪😎👍❤️

Totally it’s a wonderful experience to have .thank to shairing . KC from Baghdad

Thanks it helped me, Also such a gorgeous shoes you got there Robert.

Nice

Max Hetzel turned mini tuning fork vibration into micro rotory motion. Nuff said!

Robert is Coolest! Please make more videos like this! Thank you!

OCA ..what a joke of a web site ,$35 sticker is all i got ouy of it

I just like em for their sound

kiwi black is the best, avoid parade gloss as too waxy

Buy a bench grinder

Darker shoes much easier

So informative!

I don’t even know right now Joe designed the upper W 30 car aspiration system with camshaft heads and balance in the twister come from a Vortx spacer plate

Combat engineers would love this guy

Skylark!

After trying 100s of different polishes over the years, for scuffed or faded shoes, Angelus perfect stain polish, and for the best shine, without doubt Saphir.

I love them all! Keep it all up.

The original Chili Brown factory color was gorgeous, now they look like a pair of ghastly old Thom McAn's. Sorry, but have to be honest, they look dull and uninteresting. Safir polishes are too strong and in this case, they have overwhelmed what was a lovely finish into a mess. Suggest stripping off what you have done in this case. BTW, I picked up nearly new pair of Allen Edmonds Randolph loafers in the Chili Brown for $6.99 at the Goodwill. I won't change the color.

Way they did those runners is a joke. Plus notice the runner entry roof. Sharp 90 deg angle. Flowed more than 1 chicom intake and they didnt even make OEM numbers Buy US while we still have choices guys. Dont be fooled by cheap..or a new overseas brand. Probably the same thing

Amazing work! I have a yard full of Oldsmobiles that need similar treatment…

Thank u
