There's also:

Lol the admins on the pages just want views

Cheapest trini cars, trini cheap cars but seeing an old car is limited unless you search the group for a particular type

Thanks. Unfortunately both of you are correct. Not much to see. Better to drive around.

The quality of that job in real life cannot be captured in photos. They separated the body from the chassis ,put it on a rotisserie , sandblasted and epoxied, then painted every square inch. All inside the trunk compartment is painted and clear coated. Under the floor ,same thing . It is flawless. The engine was scrapped and every piece painted. You have to see it to believe the extent they went to.

Whats the average price to put a car on a rotisserie and get it sandblasted?

According to who does it ,and what medium is used, it could cost from $3000 to$10000. Sandblasting can warp panels due to the high pressure and heat involved. Water blasting is more expensive but eliminates the damage.

Spotted these over my pardna’s wall when I last visited. 80s Cadillac Seville and a Ford Capri, would love to know if he had or had plans for them. The Capri looks too far gone though.
