I'm watching tonight, they cut away to a 57 with a dumbass patina wrap on it, the whole time a chopped moredoor full Kustom Merc goes across the block, you get to see all about 3 secs of it, like it never happened. When that 57 goes across the block, I'll have to hear the same stupid story about a god awful car wrap again, I'm sure.
Yep, had to hear the patina wrap story again. Good thing I could look at the pic I snapped of this sweet Merc.
I think it's more that since I own a Merc and you don't see very many come across the block is the problem for me.
You're right! Would have made a better story than car wraps. That made it even worse . Sold for $36,000
If you have hi speed internet, you can go to Barrett Jackson website. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Eve...ale-2020/d114c99a-0e71-46b2-8cde-20a53c127270 I think I did that correctly, look in the upper right hand corner for "watch live now" click on that and you can watch the auction live minus commercials and the stupid comments form the commentators.
haychrishay - Thanks for link - why are there so many dummies just standing on stage that are not bidders?
not much cheaper, you still need to do all the bodywork and really even have a smooth simple base coat on the car to get the wrap to look decent. A buddy with a 59 el camino though about doing a wrap unitl the local shop quoted him $5k to fully wrap it.
5k to wrap a car that still needs to be straight and ready before it goes on. Then dont expect it to last much more than about 5 years in the sun before it fades and peeling it off is a bitch. Or, you could just man up and put on a paint job that lasts 20 years plus.
