How To: Regraining SS by hand.

I posted this up on FB, but here it is for those who aren't linked. A few have asked me to make a video and I had to do the other side, so thought why not.

Some may tell me that I am doing it wrong or maybe the technique is not effective. Please tell me. No one here in Australia had done it and even though my car I believe is in excellent condition, there were a few small scratches and also dark and shiny spots that needed attention. So I thought, what the hell, give it a go.

So far though, she looks really good when I finished it on Saturday afternoon. Probably needs a little more with the blending pad.

Didn't have the balls to try the bonnet. Plus trying to run straight lines was hard enough, like the roof. I didn't show in the video, but I had to redo it due to wonky lines and this time, I used masking tap as guide lines to help me. Then it came out top notch.

I did see a video somewhere that an owner set up a jig to regrain the bonnet. It was awesome, but how often would you regrain a bonnet?

Thanks man! Hope you guys understand my accent. A bit mangled with the Aussie and British background.

I said to my Mrs, I must had a stroke as my mouth was a little twisted when I talk. She slapped me. LOL!

I started watching this video and thought WTF? and nightflyer said good job? am I missing something? then I watched a little longer and got to the real video. nice. impressive.

I am still looking for sandpaper that you use on a circular saw though...

It's like painting a fine art.

HAHA!!

It's the production quality (including the Universal logo splash and Kevin) which made the whole thing entertaining, on top of being informative :thumbup:

[SIMid]

Notice no BTTF referrence? Must be a first! LOL!

Kevin and his video have achieved 'legendary' status within the community - to not include him would have been blasphemous :biggrin:

Wow, great video. And what a nice mumbling sound of the engine when you do the walk around at the end. I like your engine sound! :)

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Just be thankful Josh that I did not add some techno music to the video! LOL!

VPS392, She burbles as she has the Stage one exhaust. A stock sounding Delorean just doesn't cut it personally.

Alex, I think you're the SS master on here!


I only did the video due to request from several owners. Just glad I can share some of my experience with Delorean ownership. :D

Not anymore!
A chap from down under just "universal pictured" him self to the top!:gunfire:
If this was your "meeehhh" effort in making such a vid..... I can't imagine what your "arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" relesase will be like?
The "titanic" with Brad Pit and Scarlett Johansson ? :kisses:

LOL!

All filmed on a $90 camera. If I had a budget of $20K, then .........

[SIMid]

Now we're talking! :biggrin:

No, it's not going to happen! LOL!

Regarding Concerto and his Delorean (& Kevin). What happened to the car all those years ago? I heard it was repro-ed not long after he did the second video.

[ALEXAKOS]

James Cameron would be your bitch!
