Default Who's white resto-mod T/A was that on Car Fix?

Looked like a really nice, tastefully done ride.

But they should have got someone that knew how to install the vinyl panels. Frightening, even after editing the video.

Besides the fact that you could see it wasn't fully laid out before pulling the top layer off, pulling it back and stretching the hell out of it was what got me. I guarantee you that one was yanked off and another one applied.

Good thing they called an "expert".

Agreed 100% maybe the guy was rushed for TV. I’ve put a few of these on and it’s not an easy task but this install had some cringe moments. The car appears to have super nice panel fit.

Lou Santiago is a friend of mine and unless things changed, they have plenty of time to take care of business.

well all and all it was cool that they did a show on the TA . they were very complementary on the car and that was good to see.

That host Brian is quite the talent as you guys probably know

The car was awesome A N D ………. It was Pontiac powered.

Fuller is one of the better fabricators out there however, his caliber has changed the show and (IMO) not for the better. Car Fix was a show targeted towards what the average Joe can do. There isn't a lot an average Joe can do that Fuller is showing.

Although I know a lot of average Joes out there that can lay out vinyl graphics.

I used to put on the "wallpaper" (woodgrain) on station wagons when I was a body & paint guy. Always used either Windex or a solution of liquid Palmolive Dish Soap and water along with a Bondo squeegee.

Oh I don’t doubt that one bit. Some people you can just tell. He is most certainly one of those people. Broke my heart when he left power block

I use baby shampoo and warm water in a spray bottle. Never had the issues that guy on Car Fix did.

He was also pulling straight up on it. Why did they change the guys on that show?

Other than a couple of shows, Motor Trend is definitely nothing like Velocity. The few shows they kept they changed up and destined them for ruin.....

I found it on YouTube. Your heart will stop at around 19:19 when he messes up the roof stripe. Pretty impressed with how he fixed it though... scary process but it seems to have worked out great.

Does anyone know who makes the air cleaner assembly?

Maybe reach out to FULLER MOTO website. Or maybe Bryan Fuller is on Facebook.
