How to Actually Look at a Custom Car | Spotting the Flaws, Fakes, and Real Craftsmanship
from It's All About the Build with I.B.F.HotRods · host I.B.F.HotRods
Most people have no idea how to properly look at a custom car or restoration. They see the paint and think it's done right. In this episode Randy and I teach you how to actually examine a build. How to see the flaws, how to pick out the fakes from the real deal, and what separates a car that wins awards from one that just looks good from ten feet away. We go into detail on paint, customization, engineering, and what we personally look at when we walk up to a car at a show. This applies to customs and nut and bolt restorations alike. You wonder why some cars win and others don't? It's all about the details. After this episode you'll know how to spot them.Join the conversation: "It's All About the Build" Facebook Community Group
