“The Prospector” 1955 Chevy Project Barn Find Gold: Episode 1 Custom Paint Video


Going for the gold. Junkyard Life’s Ron Kidd finds his dream car, a 1955 Chevy in a barn. During his budget restoration, Kidd decided to pay homage to the gold 1955 Chevy that GM built to commemorate their 50 millionth vehicle. With his team of friends and a vision to recapture bygone glory days of the 1960s and 1970s, he goes “old school” on the black, 4-speed, shoebox Chevy. 
  Watch as he enlists artist Michael Swann to customize the hot rod with retro graphics. The timelapse portion of the video shows Swann at work painting “The Prospector,” lettering, and pinstriping the ’55 over a 2 hour period.
  Kidd’s gold ’55 will be sure to make a splash when it hits the scene. Stay tuned for more!

Make your oven and booth by purchasing a complete kit. A well-known company's components are readily available for immediate purchase if you are buying from them. There is the option of having the walls sent to your house and fastened together. When the electrical controls are delivered to your home or company, they are fully connected and ready for installation. You or your contractor may build the item if you follow the directions. Because of the schematics, the electrician will determine the most efficient route for the electric line. All of your powder coating booth and oven requirements may be met by a recognized manufacturer or sales organization. A list of these qualifying firms will be posted shortly. You may ask them for a pricing estimate by contacting them.
