No words can adequately describe this car......just amazing and an absolute credit to Down Town Customs and all the colaborators. I can only dream of letting these guys free on my own vehicle but if I had the resources I would do it in a heart beat.
I remember seeing pics of this online as it was being built. Hadn’t caught up with the final result but glad I have now! Wow!! What a car!! The craftsmanship is next level. Congrats to all involved, best HQ Monaro I’ve ever seen!!
Any car enthusiast no matter what their flavour has to appreciate this beast. It is the fattest Q ever. Nothing ridiculous or over done just super fat super clean. I think alot of people wouldn't understand the 1000s of hours gone into this. 👍👍
wow! that shop rivals the absolute top ends car builders. serious talent and super sano builds. that viper f100 is so sick. thanks for a look inside a mega fab and custom shop
Gday ol son this is without doubt the most unique and inspirational build I've seen in my life, let alone career I was all up some 20odd yrs working for Holden and associated dealerships. Life can never again be what it was, but living, breathing art like this can sustain the hopes and dreams of an old Man like me more than you could possibly know Cheers from the coalfields of the Hunter Valley NSW
The quintessential beauty is not lost with this HQ 2-door at another level, that being my favorite Holden model ever made. It is my only real regret for not buying one when I had the chance when I was an apprentice years ago when one came available.
Frickin awesome now that's Aussie as it gets. Beautiful work and great craftsmanship, that fabrication is flawless and I love what you did with the engine bay. Best HQ ever, great work guys. 🇭🇲👍
Front grill n lights look like America's Hellcat 🤤 normally I'd rather original condition but considering the rust and sheet metal work had to be done anyway, it turned out beautiful 🥹
Hq is my favourite Holden, and it was great to see that essentially 2 unsaveable Quies donated the basis for an incredible mind blowing build. Makes me think Holden should have continued the EFIJ theme to the Hq as well. The engine bay, interior are beyond words, and keeping many holden items shows foresight and great planning. Not knocking the grill, it is a beautiful and incredibly great piece of art, although personally would have done a modern take on that original hq recessed style, just to give a bit more homage to the original Australian shape rather than a US chalanger style, just me thinking, nothing more. Thanks for sharing and showing the car and build shop, amazing 👏
Not a fan of the headlights or the tail lights but this thing looks amazing! Some phenomenal builds in the shop. The Australian car scene is ground breaking
Just brilliant. I have to say, as a long time Euro car fan (and owner) I've never been impressed with Holdens, Fords or US vehicles (I know, I'll be vilified here!). I did always say to my Holden loving friends that if any of there cars could be seen as well designed it was the HQ (but it would need some modification). This is simply gorgeous... Well done.
@@unfavoured they did such a fine job on that car i would draw loads of attention at Sema. That would put the shop in the spot light and could mean more business
to think i once owned one and sold her ...didn't want to but at the time being a young fella with kids and commitments she had to go that was over 20 years and seeing this put a tear in my eye and a lump in me throat im not gonna lie awesome and painful to watch ... the ole 2 door coupe and 57 chev works of art my 2 best ever cars
That is spectacular. Never seen work that good on any of the reality TV shows.
Nicest HQ coupe I've ever seen! Certainly is a next level no budget build. Well done to all involved! 👍
Looks like a Vauxhall grill
Ageed, I would love to see the final dolar cost!
Looks awesome! So clean. Love that grill and headlights.
@@ThePsydafex 10 years of time plus parts. Millions not about the money as you know.
@@reallyskeptical "millions"? that's a bit of a stretch
I’ve been waiting years to see this and Project Binky completed.
Stunning workmanship. So smooth it almost looks like a computer render.
Mate I'm 48 I'm not sure I'm going to be still alive when Binky is finished..
Could be nice if it was left side drive over here in America

if they did it to a 72 HQ Statesman i would be over the moon !
I remember seeing pics of this online as it was being built. Hadn’t caught up with the final result but glad I have now! Wow!! What a car!! The craftsmanship is next level. Congrats to all involved, best HQ Monaro I’ve ever seen!!
Well done DTK. Absolute top quality build.
Any car enthusiast no matter what their flavour has to appreciate this beast. It is the fattest Q ever. Nothing ridiculous or over done just super fat super clean. I think alot of people wouldn't understand the 1000s of hours gone into this. 👍👍
It doesn't have a manual transmission, so no, cannot appreciate it by default.
Remember taking photos of this early days into the build, nice to see it on the road.
That shop and the work they do is amazing. Truly world class.
It's Pimp My Ride on steroids
My mind is just blown away. WOW WOW WOW. What a workshop, What a build, What a finish. Kudos to the entire team!
What an amazing result. Looks stellar! Old school with new school look. Comfort while retaining its toughness. Some great toys in that panel shop!
Pure High Quality. Holden forever, Forever Hold on! Thanks my new Aussie Cuzziez more please 👍👍

Certainly did it justice....Excellent work.

Incredible, outstanding workmanship...and that HT Monaro!! *drooool*
Absolutely stunning. What a beast.
so much work such a great result.
What an amazing place. The car is so spot on it looks like a cad model.
Definitely a lot of work went into it. Amazing build. The purist in me can't take to it but I'm sure the owner loves it. Nice work.
Superb Panel Work!
That is one amazing HQ "Camaro" Coupe. Lovely work.
This is beyond a car build. Definitely a piece of art. It's so tidy that it deserves something nicer than rubber tyres haha
Frickin awesome now that's Aussie as it gets. Beautiful work and great craftsmanship, that fabrication is flawless and I love what you did with the engine bay. Best HQ ever, great work guys. 🇭🇲👍
Amazing skills, well done!
Super Lovely Machine - simply Lovely

@@unfavoured they did such a fine job on that car i would draw loads of attention at Sema. That would put the shop in the spot light and could mean more business
REALLY like the lines. Cross between a Malibu, Camaro and Firebird
We only had the 4 doors here in South Africa!! This car is nothing but awesome!!!
