Body Wrapping older cars??
 
Just wondering if anyone has any experience they would share with wraps or wrapping an older car? I hear older cars are more difficult and require seams where most modern cars don't.

A buddy who does clear bra type stuff wrapped his 56 Chevy Wagon. From 6 feet, it looks amazing. He spent a ton of time on the seams and edges making sure to cover it all correctly. It was a prtty rough wagon, but it's slick now.

Sounds sweet. Would love to see pics if you ever get the chance.

Like painting wrapping takes a lot of patience and planning. It's not as easy as you might think whether on a new model or classic.

I don't think it's easy, and I'm not doing it anyway. I specifically heard that older cars, having less panels, meant they had to have seams in funky places. Given the proper time and done right can say, a 69 camaro, be done with no seams? As with anything, you obviously get what you pay for. I'm not looking for a short cut, just considering the wrap direction for the time that the car will be driven hard and as frequently as possible.
