merlin Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Looking for a few cars to fill in a few days on the Vancouver BC filmed TV show this summer. What's on the market out there? Anyone in BC that wants to do rentals? Quote Link to comment
ratpatrol66 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 My Patrol just isn't pretty enough for the movies. Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Actually I should mention the patrols just need to be running and straight as they wanna paint them in military colours Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Free paint jobs? Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Lol only if you were hoping for primer green or gray. They paid me 500 CAD a day for my Completely restored and functional Cedric... I think the base rate is 200 for a good roller, then it goes up from there depending on how good your car is.

merlin Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 No... they want nice cars... they want runner patrols and stouts to rattle can green. Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Who cleans out the rattle can paint afterwards? Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I have a 64 NL320, the only difference between it and the ealrier NL's is the turnsignal. Who would know, well besides us? You shoud contact the guys at Ztherapy. They have a bunch of the early stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 KoH, after you do this then you can run an ad like this one... https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/cto/5978799501.html I mean if your car was used in a movie, it's value increases, right? 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 paint a nice Patrol green then what? IM sure when they done with getting what they want they not going to be so nice and get your paint job back Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Several years ago I responded to a similar ad. My RL411 was not ratty enough for the proposed movie. Please ask for what condition the vehicle must be and just who is to restore any paint alterations before commiting to any photo, video or movie rental! 1 Quote Link to comment
ratpatrol66 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 No way would I ever let anybody drive my Patrol cause they would wreck it in a hurry! Besides that I don't want to ruin that beautiful patina. HAHAHAHA But they do have that peel off paint now? A 66 Patrol can pass as a 64 easy, but no thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
merlin Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Lol. I let them drive my 65 Cedric, they'll be using my patrol, my second Cedric and my 320 hopefully. That's $1200- 2000 a day potentially. I made $3600 for 32 miles of driving last year and they insured my car for all potential damages. Once again, they wouldn't want nice restored patrols, they want runners that they could paint. They may even buy them. It sounds like they may only want 2 now anyways and I have 2 I can put together already. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I got nothing old enough ,,, but is there anyway you could convince them to do a "flash forward" episode ?? i gotta pretty sweet minivan i could paint army green for them to roam the neutral buffer zone. ..............Think about it. 3 Quote Link to comment

Fuck that I got some Patrol fenders, doors and quarters panels. Bring that van up and it will look like a Patrol when we get done! Even a spare Patrol steering wheel to make it right! No wait I can't waste good Patrol parts on a mini-van. Sorry bananahamuck ain't going to happen. Quote Link to comment

This year is my 30yr class reunion so my plan is to show up in this heap. Not to mention my Speedweek plan, what to do? Quote Link to comment
