  • Pontiac wished they had designed this beautiful coupe. This fella is not precious about anything. He just jumps in and gets it done.

    • That is how he keeps making amazing creations. I like how he addresses new challenges. Something that keeps you humble. It’s bigger than you and you address it each time you come across a challenge. To compare him to Pennys and Bad Chad, is his personality is comes out as a calm man with a rogue attitude that is highly creative & most of all Not arrogant .

    • Looking at all the old iron you have. A good trick to preserve it is, squirt drain oil in the bottom of all the panels, doors, hood, and trunks etc. Let it drip out its dirty for awhile but here in Minnesota I've drove my 2004 Toyota for 300.000 miles no rust!

And then there is you goin "lets chop this outa there and see what happens"! Oh yeah, this truck is an absolute rust bucket! Hell... 2 inches of one door at the bottom is just gone! There was zero floor when I got it. Anyway ive been inspired by your videos. Keep up the great work!

  • My God you are a maniac, so much work so fast and the car looks nice to boot. Quite the talent there. Just finished the whole video and yes you are a maniac. I am so danmed impressed, One man. One driven man did every possible thing the frame, chassis, mounts, body, chopped, metal work, body work, interior, drive line, Its so damn amazing. Every high school car nut needs to see this. I started a 47 Chevy Coupe in 64 but never finished it. I blew up the Olds V8 and was so depressed and my Dad forbid me from working on it anymore. He was a good Dad, but he had no idea what or why we do cars till we drop. I saw your hands and arms near the end cuts, scabs, bruises, hell yes that is what car guys do. Now I have to go back and see ALL 43 videos. Smart move to make this compressed video, it sets the hook deep. If you could estimate the cost of such a project what would it take for you to do another one very similar. Dennis in Virginia

  • I have not seen that coupe in 47yrs. I even got my drivers liscence in it! I hit a pole in the winter of 1970. My father took the car on a trade for me on a 1961 MGA twin cam. I screwed that one up, as youtes do. A little history, the original owner went off to Normandy, and neve came back. The parents covered the car and I bought it in that condition. When I let it go, I had completly refinished it to stock..I love what you have done to her. I had good memories from her, and I hope you do also. She deserves to be renewed. I love what you have done to her. Good luck.

Now, it has sleek lines like some of the greatest of designs of the 30's. Great eye, and great work!
