    What a treat for a Saturday night. Got home from a Sled ride, cracked a Beer, and popped UA-cam open only to see this gem in my feed. Thanks man, your skills blow me away. Cheers

    In a time where EVERYBODY goes for the "patina" craze, I'm still glad you painted this car and these colors...
    Excellant job! A favorite build of mine!!!

    l was bored it's snowing outside so l turned on UA-cam and stumbled on this I'm an old gear head from the 60s did some 49 Fords and Mercury's had a 51 Ford with a Caddy V8 engine, never bought many parts if something was needed l had friends that worked in junkyards or find an abandoned car in the woods, you did a great job you had me for 1:10 and the music was also great, l will be subscribing as soon as l stop typing, keep up the good work your not just a parts changer like on regular TV your the real thing. :)

    Your workmanship is amazing. The Ez that you seem to chop these cars up is truly an art & so cool to be part of via your videos. Would love to see you chop the roof & chop the body a few inches on one of your builds I've always wanted to see that done in a way that's understandable. Other people have done it obs but none of them show their working & mistakes just a thought either way keep them videos coming look forward to watching all you do. Cheers

    This. This is what your videos need. The mechanicals? They are fun but predictable. But this chop. That's pure art my friend and you are an artisan. There are dozens of channels out there doing first starts and engine swaps. You keep the transformations coming. It's pure magic and you make it look so easy. I wait and watch for the next fabrication video. You are an artisan.

    That top Chop transformed the car into a long and low cruiser, amazing effort Damn you have have a good eye for that. I owned a 47 Chevy Coupe would have loved to chop that and get the Olds V8 fixed. I build the engine but it blew and my Dad was so mad he made me stop cars. I caught up later after i left home. Thanks for posting. I will search your archives for any old coupes. Great Result, Dennis

    the most entertaining video show on UA-cam,,,,
    you get on with the mechanics of the show,, no long chat,,
    you narrate only the necessities the ins n outs are important to you "yeah" ,,, oh yes Pablo what a character the expression on his face when he sits on that back seatlike a little ole man" says a million stories " One,,Man and his Dog" wonderful

    My brother took a 1949 Ford Convertible I owned while I was away in the Army and he cut that car all apart and made a miniature of it when T Bird was first starting. He chopped Lowered , Channeled, and man when I came back home and looked for my Convertible I was in shock from what he had done with my car, It was res with the lower part from the front of the front fender well over and back with that Custom Trim many used on those cars was white. Fender skirts and lowered to about three or four inch's off the ground with glass packs and a Vauxhall grill. The top was white with small round hole class for back seat windows and the Hollywood rear wrap around panels for the rear window. I would love to have a car like that today. I raced it on the Salt Flats with a big Flat Head Mercury Interceptor Highway Patrol engine in it and it rotted out in no time.
