1961 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud – A Dream
Body and Paint, Classic Car Restoration, Cool Cars, Gallery, Restoration, TestimonialsMay 25, 20180 Comment
Hey there!
And welcome to our Rolls Royce Silver Cloud build we did here at PBC.
1959 was a big year for Rolls Royce, and that’s why keeping the mint condition is so precious.
…..We had the pleasure of making that happen, and you get to see the process it takes.
A Brief History:
The Silver Cloud model was introduced in October 1959 and proceeded to make its mark in history.
1959 was also the year that Rolls Royce beat Bentley’s production numbers; with 2,716 being built between 1959 and 1962 alone.
The Silver Cloud was also the first to use Rolls-Royce’s aluminum, “6.2-liter, 230-hp V-8 engine
which had been in the planning stages since 1947.”
1961 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
This Rolls came in the shop with ONLY 5,200 miles on it!
After some paint and TLC (read on for details), this bad boy was ready for some more miles.
See for yourself:
See what we do:
One of the things needed to be done was SHOW QUALITY paint.
Here are some photos pertaining to us achieving just that.
Above we have every part of the car, NOT being painted, sectioned off with paper and taped down.
The two photos above are of the car, BEFORE being painted and AFTER being sanded down.
The photo above shows the car in the process of being painted, the top half will be covered once done, to be able and paint the bottom half.
Above are some photos of the car DONE with paint. You can see the high gloss and how reflective and smooth it is…..true aspects of show quality paint.
Some mechanics work was done as well.
That consisted of a brake job, uptuned radio and some interior work.
It also got new door bumpers and an oil change.
See more about this Silver cloud Build.
After 500 Man Hours:
When you come to Palm Beach Customs you can rest assured that your muscle OR
classic car restoration is with the right people. Go over to our FAQ page to learn
some of the specifics and then get in touch with us – We would love to hear what car

Tech Tip: The Big 3 Body Secrets

Big 3 Body Secrets
The overall body of the car is what makes people stop and stare when you’re driving down the road. So, making sure someone or yourself does a good job, is essentially crucial and can sometimes be harder than you think. These Big 3 “Body Secrets” are sure to help you in moments you lost hope.
For instance, some people can turn a wrench extremely well, but can’t keep a steady paint hand. However, that’s not what this post is about.
We will be showing you some simple tech tips to use when painting, priming, sanding and buffing your classic or muscle car. The car being used in the post is a Rolls-Royce Silvercloud build done at Palm Beach Customs.
Check out this video of the final walk around the Rolls Royce
Click here to see more on this Rolls Royce Restoration.
Big 3 Body Secrets
In the video, we used Guide Coat black lacquer bomb spray on the car to be able to see the imperfections once we run the blocking on a car.
We then re-primed with another half-gallon of urethane primer then blocked with 80 grit; shown in the next video.
In this video, John goes over two of the three “secrets”, one being the way he sands to make sure you are getting each and every sport thoroughly.
For instance, the black lacquer spray used in the first video, allowed John to see the “low” points in the car and primer, requiring more sanding in that particular area and primer.
We hope you enjoyed the Big 3 “Body Secrets” Tech Tips

CJ-7 Door Assembly Tech Tips
Having nice doors is like having the right shoes or right hat…..or not having them at all is always an option too. Especially when driving a Jeep; keeping the doors on has always been questionable.
We know how to take the doors off, but putting them together is the tricky part.
That’s why PBC has put together this post to show you a CJ-7 Door Assembly to help you in your future endeavors experiencing the “Jeep Thing”…
Below is the final results of a 1984 CJ-7 restoration done here at PBC
Check out this post here for some more CJ-7 Jeep restorations.
CJ-7 Door Assembly
Above is a photo, taken shortly after priming and painting the door and its pieces
Above are two photos, showing the individual pieces
(TIP:) that will be attached AFTER being painted and AFTER the window channels, glass window, and window vents are put in!
Below is a video, demonstrating the CJ-7 door assembly.
Tip: You HAVE to put the glass in first and leave it loose to be able to put in that window vent.
Tip: Spray the window channels (the black rubber around the window frame) with Windex to make the pieces slip right into each other, without scratching or chipping the paint.
Tip: Make sure and roll the window up and down a few times before completing the assembly to make sure the window is placed correctly.

Tech Tips: Welding Quarter Panels and Wheel Tubs
Auto Body Tips, Gallery, Metal Work, Restoration, Tech Tips, VideosMay 18, 20180 Comment
Like every car builder will say, the foundation is a lot more important than the looks of the car. For instance, you don’t want ANY rust on the body of the car and you don’t want your welds to be to swallow, especially when fixing and assembling quarter panels.
We will be showing you how to do exactly that; fixing and assembling quarter panels.
In case you don’t know what the quarter panels of a car are exactly, they are the back two corners of your car, including the back wheel wells.
Showing you all these tips will be John Russo on the 69′ Cobra Jet Mustang Restoration project.
Welding Quarter Panels and Wheel Tubs
In this Video, John goes over some information and demonstration on how to get the best and strongest weld
Here is what it looks like after the welding is completed. You can see the clamps holding together the metal that was welded into the wheel tubs.
Below is a video of John welding the rear quarter panels to the factory fusion welds.
Tip: It’s really important to remember that before we started welding, the car was jigged and leveled and square. We pre-fit all the sheet metal panels and tested all the gaps by using Zip Screws in certain locations, allowing us to open and shut the doors and the trunk lid. Then, as we TACK weld, we remove each zip-screw as necessary.
Below is the inner, back part of the car. The OUTER back quarter panels and wheel tubs are what we are showing in the videos.
Here is a good look at how someone inside the car would be looking at the back and working.
Below is another photo of the wheel tub, and you can see how far that wheel tub goes into the middle body. That’s why we do the back wheel tubs as we do the rear quarters.
Here is a look at a welding spot as the welding is being done. You can see the heat from the weld almost reaching the other side and that’s important, as you want to make sure your weld goes through all the metal to make sure it is not loose.

Tech Tips: Sandblasting
Auto Body Tips, Classic Car Restoration, Gallery, Muscle Car Restoration, New Car Builds, VideosMay 11, 20180 Comment
The best thing about being able to do sandblasting is you can thoroughly clean many surfaces and not have to worry about any metal warping or rusting from it.
At Palm Beach Customs, we sandblast to clean the steel bodies that come into the shop. In fact, John Russo owned a sandblasting business in the 80’s and 90’s.
In this post, we will show you show you some tips and information on Sandblasting a 57′ Chevy and 69′ Cobra Jet.
Tech Tips: Sandblasting
Below is a video of the 69′ Cobra Jet shortly after being sandblasted.
Below is a video of the 57′ Chevy being finished up in sandblasting. I will be moving on to the APoxy Primer afterward.
Below is a couple of photos of the 57′ chevy BEFORE sandblasting is done.
Below are is a photo of the 57′ Chevy sandblasted. It really shows how nice of a product you will achieve once you sandblast.

Tech Tips: Car O Liner Measurements
Auto Body Tips, Classic Car Restoration, Gallery, Muscle Car Restoration, Tech Tips, Uncategorized, VideosMay 11, 20180 Comment
For this post, we are using the 69′ Cobra Jet build as our demonstration. This car had the whole back quarter panels replaced, and once on the dedicated jig (Car O Liner), we can make sure the whole car is exactly where it needs to be aligned.
The Car O Liner we used has a three-dimensional mechanical measuring system, the picture below is of unibody collision project. You will see later in the post, how we use it to build the muscle cars.
Tech Tips: Car O Liner Measurements
Remember: While welding, you want to make sure that you don’t move the car on the dedicated jig and that it is very important to make the measurements on the car correctly, or your doors, trunk lid, and wheels won’t fit right.
Below you will see a photo of the Mustang on the dedicate jig.
Below is a photo of the Mustang on the dedicated jig. It is done being welded and assembled and is now ready for ePoxy Primer.
We hope you enjoy our post and found it useful.

1969 Mustang Cobra Jet Restoration Tips
Auto Body Tips, Body and Paint, Metal Work, New Car Builds, Restoration, Tech Tips, UncategorizedMay 11, 20180 Comment
Caught in a performance war, the 1969 Mustang model year had some exciting new elements added to the body. Including 3.8 inches added to the length of the body and about 1 inch added to the width of the body.
In 1968, 4 years into the performance war between Ford and GM, Ford introduced the 428 cu in Cobra Jet FE engine in a small group of Mustang GT’s; leading to the 1969 model we are currently restoring.
The 1969 Mustang was also the first Ford model to use quad headlamps placed inside AND outside the grille opening. The Mustang’s platform and engine bay were also redesigned to fit larger engine blocks.
Above, we have a video going over the Cobra Jet we are working on and below we will have some tech tips and photos for working on this build.
1969 Mustang Cobra Jet Restoration Tips
Here we have a video showing how to fit the sheet metal and how to get the body lines on a 69′ Mustang.
Prior to the video, we dismantled the Mustang when it came in the shop. We went through tear down, sandblasting, full quarter inner wheelhouse, trunk floors and one-floor pan since water got under there and the other side was perfect.
In the video, the car is on a Car-O-Liner to make sure the car is aligned after welding is done to rusted parts that have to be cut out.
Below you will see clamps in place holding down the sheet metal before welding.
Here you will see the Mustang on the Car-O-Liner.
Below you have a good look at the chassis before the rest of the steel body is assembled to it.
Below is a Video, recorded after the first stages of primer with John as he goes over the next steps that will happen with the Mustang. John also explains what products we use to get such great cars.
We hope you enjoy our Tech Tips post, and we will keep posting more as we finish the car.
