Is there such a thing on here? I did a search but came up with nothing. One of those YouTube videos would go a long way to help us (non) experienced newbs.

Maybe we can convince a couple of the masters on here to do that very thing.

Free slotburgers for the authors :)

I am very confident that I can demonstrate with agility, how to make a mess of foil. Youtube doesn't have the frame rate to catch how fast it all goes down the pot as soon as I touch the stuff.

I'm foiled with foil.

Don't fear the foil! I enjoy foiling. I'll be foiling a car next week so I'll get a little how to together as I go. Won't be a you tube video though just an article you can read & photos. With a bit of practice it's not really that hard. The best part is you can't mess it up, if you lay a bit you don't like, just remove it & try again.

I purchased some foil adhesive and was going to experiment with it, but then my Chrome Pens arrived before I got around to it. They worked so well that I've still never gotten around to trying the foil.

Good idea! Thanks guys getting me off the hook!!! :laughing-rolling: But seriously, I can do one also if you guys don't think you can get around to doing it.

Update,

Hey, I found the old how to I did a few years back! Hope it helps! A video would be cool too!!

I know about the foil, man its great stuff , i learned all about it in a movie called slap shot with Paul Newman and the Hanson Brothers putting on the foil.

Fitzy - as a GM A-Body guy - just send me both of those gorgeous Chevelles!!! I love long-roofs and that wagon is fantastic!

Dave That Chevelle Wagon was a 70 my Dad ordered that car new from Bumstead Chevrolet in Troy, NY with a 402 and a 4spd I'll never forget riding in the back seat as a kid my Dad and the crew had done a lot of work to it and it was drag raced for few years wish i could find it now to restore it were not sure where it ended up here is a picture of it parked in front of Pfeiffer's Speed Shop were he worked




That Orange One is Actually a 75 Oldsmobile Cutlass which is a Car my Mom drove been pinned in the bag seat of that one few times too! and the 70 Chevelle SS is the car I want to build one of these days!

I had a '73 Cutlass Supreme 455 as a loaner car when some serious warranty work was being done on my car. The dealer was trying to sell me on a hotter car while my cheap racer was being fixed from a stupid design flaw. For over a week, my newlywed wife and I shaded the hell out of my old bachelor buddies on the street scene. The next time I had that feeling was a '73 Mustang Mach 1 loaner while my '65 Mustang was being fixed (upgraded).

Love that '75 Cutlass!
My Dad still has his '75 Supreme he bought new - lot of great memories around that car! :D

Aside from the Hanson brothers putting on foil..(great movie by the way), has anyone else got a film about putting on foil yet? :lol:
