I see the 1.4 million spent on it, that car was worked on from the bottom up, all the work and men hours that went into this gorgeous car. It’s so sad the man that built it passed away before he got to drive it. He left his legacy behind that’s one beautifully crafted vehicle. I can only imagine how it drives and how it handles just stunning wow!! Rest In Peace Bruce, you wont ever be forgotten buddy.
Not often I see someone who experiences and displays the same emotional response for these mechanical marvels as I do. For me it was something akin to euphoria to just to look at her and hear her heart beating, let alone getting to drive her. Thank you for honouring the car, the builders and the owner. Too often people in your position fail to realise how sacred and special it is to be sharing someone else's dreams like that and their entitled and aloof behavior takes away from the experience. One again thank you for the honour with which you treated this car. PS, I think I would have shed a tear or two had I been in your position.
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. I also do all my own editing and had a moment of pause to show that level of emotion but the truth is the car, the builders and the owner deserve that level of honor and appreciation. I'm still knocked out at having driven this car. I fell in love with it at SEMA 2016 and it drives as good as it looks which is not true for all customs. For me, this is a perfect car. The story. The build itself. The choices. The execution. Every point on this is simply perfection. Glad to know someone else out there understands the emotion of it all. Thanks so much for your input.
I work in classic vehicle restoration and I see 1.4 million, there are no words to describe that car, absolutely incredible!! Great video thank you so much for putting this video out there
alex millar thanks Alex. I love hearing the people that get it. It’s shocking to read some of the comments and how many people think you could build this for $100K. Joke!
The attention to detail on this car is INSANE! The body panel gap and fitment, even the exhaust is perfectly centered in the exit hole. The riveting, the pedal assembly, the paint. The stance is perfect. The tires and wheels perfect. Goes to show what can be done when a person has the time, the right shops and a blank cheque. Wow!
The best part that few people will get is that that's Bruce's jacket in the trunk. He always wore it and it gets to stay with his car. Even though he's gone, a piece of him stays with the car.
Jerking tears over here man... I feel every ounce of passion and respect you have for the car the owners and the build. Thanks for putting this one up. It was a real treat. R.I.P. to Mr. Leven.
Sir... Literally the second vid ive watched from the channel. The car is absolutely breathtaking. Gotta say-"the move" was apparent, and definitely messed me up just watching.. Thanks for sharing, RIP Mr. Bruce Levin, and youve got a new subscriber.
Thank you for the sub and I'm glad you're enjoying what we're doing. This is such a special build. The quality. The story. The design. Still can't believe I got to drive it!! I really appreciate your support of what we're doing here.
Absolutely gorgeous. Who wouldn't love to have this car? I would. Everything on this car is incredible. Also, those wheels and tires look absolutely incredible.
I have never been one to advertise for someone , like the tires no way would I have yellow Goodyear letters on my tires , they just don't look right on that car.
The 49-51 Ford/Mercury/Lincoln leadsleds are my favorite cars ever built. This car feels like the ‘blank check’ approach to my dream car. Absolutely wonderful work on the car and this episode in general.
Shawn, with all my respect, God has been AWESOME to you! I can imagine changing gears and having goosebumps simultaneously... The builder is the Picasso of cars, what a master piece!
Glad you get it Paul. And when you see this car in person it gets even better. Then add in the story behind the car and the owner and it's as close to perfect as I know personally.
I don't even know where to start... I'm just speechless... I mean look at the trunk of this thing, everything is just perfect. I really enjoyed watching this one. Tnx for showing us this fantastic build.
Thanks Nik and I agree. It's honestly the most perfect custom I've ever experienced and that's saying something with the cars I'm around. The Wicked Fabrication guys knocked this one way out of the park!
Glad you're enjoying the content. I try to show a little of everything and a lot of pro-touring/restomods. They hit my passion button the hardest. Although today's episode is all exotics from an event over the weekend called Cars N Copters which was pretty over the top. But I promise I'll show you a bunch more muscle cars as we go along here.
As a custom builder myself I could discuss this car for hours with you but ill just make one point: up to this point i have never seen chrome and gold work, its always a choice what ever you are designing, but in that engine bay it has worked seamlessly, I suspect its the blend of the other colours but just that detail alone makes me realise how much thought has gone into this car
This car first caught my attention on Jay Leno's Garage. I've been curious to learn more about it since then so I'm happy to have found this vid. The channeled bodywork is so beautifully done in conjunction with all of the other visuals that this car is a gem. Thanks for this close-up!
While not my preferred style/era of vehicle, the design elements chosen compliment each other so amazingly well, and the build quality is peerless. I'd probably cry if I saw how many hours went into this build.
Thanks for watching and agreeing. There's so many great custom builders and vehicles but every once in a while there's something extra special and this is one of those without question. Too bad Bruce never had the opportunity to drive it. It drives as good as it looks which is really saying something. I appreciate your support.
AutotopiaLA i differently get it.. this rite hea is a piece of art... i wanna build a house that had sliding glass doors that i could slide open an pull her rite in my living room an show her off . the only thing that i think is crazy is how much it coast to actually build. the cars that u could get for the money that was put in to building this. BUT the difference is this has a history an is a pure classic. u buy what u love ... what's funny is my favoritemiddle part of this car is the pedals... lol
Everyone that's saying they don't see the money here, has NO idea what it takes to fabricate something like this!!! Stunning piece of art. One of the greatest things here, for me, is that they didn't put a new LS or coyote motor in it. The car is, for lack of better words "perfect" as it sits.
Glad you have an educated enough eye to see and understand. Frustrating that more people don’t understand the level of design and execution this vehicle represents.
the fabrication alone speaks for itself!!! the door hinges to fuel filler cap and shifter, i could see this car reaching that price, very detailed custom work
Gotta say I love how much engagement this car has created within this community! I like getting to shine a bit of light on the Wicked Fabrication guys and the cars they build. I know it's insanity considering the dollar amounts but not for the guy that can afford it. All of the cars on my channel are out of my price point by a long shot but I think they're all true works of art and love that so many people are engaged in the content. Thanks all!!
I was in awe of this car and truly moved by the emotion you felt Shawn. It brought a tear to my eye and made me feel somehow connected to a man I don't know and never met. Thats what a great build can do. Leave lasting emotions and passion that can be felt by ALL. A true MASTERPIECE.
From the exhaust exit locations to the leather straps holdin the trunk and hood down, to the stunning Lincoln power plant, this car is absolutely perfect....
@@AutotopiaLA Shawn, I get the emotion. Getting to drive something that special is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you handled it like a pro. Well done!! I worked in a shop in San Francisco in the early 90's that sold many really nice sports cars, Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, and the list goes on... On many a quiet Sunday afternoon, I'd spend time either sitting with a camera, looking for a unique angle or view point to capture a 1963 Ferrari 330 LMB, or a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Spyder, or a 1986 288 GTO. I never did get the chance to drive one but I sat in several of them and did drive several much less auspicious Ferraris. They were all nice but some just stood out from everything else. My time in that shop and the ten years or so I spent with SCCA resulted in a pretty special collection of memories and photos that I never imagined as a boy, that I'd get. I never had the money to own them but I certainly appreciated the trust a few people had that allowed me to drive some phenomenal cars. You'll never forget that old Ford!
Had to watch again just finished rewatching on jay leno! Still my absolute favorite car you have had on your channel. I dont know how many times I have watched it . FANTASTIC build !!!!! F___ing amazing thank you tim still from new mexico
Beyond speechless, one of my favorite cars on earth no lie. And for those who don't see why it's 1.4 million then u don't under stand how much time and effort and work (man hours) goes into this
Another beautiful and extremely well executed example of handbuilt craftsmanship. I dunno how it is you come by these jewels, a special talent or team possibly. I'll sub just to get a chance to see gems like that, more so than the every day supercars that seem to be turning into one car to me. Thank you for this amazing story.
Love this car, but would really like to see someone do a side by side comparison of how this car was modified from an original. There is so much to take in.
Price or cost in this case is so relative or subjective. 1.4 million is an easy number to come up with when inflated numbers are used. 6,000 mam hours at $200 an hour plus parts. Reality may be much different. But. Awesome awesome car!!!!
Eric Dolby if you saw it in person you’d see the hours. It’s so obvious. I tried to show but nothing shows on video like in person. This build and design is perfection in my opinion.
Absolutely gorgeous car impeccable build the quality and standards kept within the build are ridiculous such a beauty and so sad Bruce passed before driving the car getting to enjoy it 😔 great video man I can definitely see your emotion towards the car keep up the awesome content 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks brotha!! Yeah, this is an exceptional build. The design. Execution. Story behind it. Just awesome and still can't believe I got to drive it. And I'm bummed I never got to meet Bruce other than a few minutes on FaceTime when we were at Leno's Garage shooting.
Booker Thompson not really if you going to take in to concideration how many hours went in to build. What kind of part has been used, time ect. It looks like a piece of art.
You'd have to see the car in person Tim. The choices, the execution the parts, etc. I'm around some of the greatest builds and builders in the world on a regular basis and this car is perfect and every turn. The paint and body alone is over $100K! If you saw it in person it might change your mind.
AutotopiaLA still...1.4 million. Just because someone has the money to burn doesn't mean it's worth it. It's a bad ride don't get me wrong. Love your videos by the way.
Thanks bro and I'm never trying to justify or negate the spending. I have the luck of being around some of the biggest and best builders/builds around and I don't think most people understand how much gets spent building a Ring Brothers car or Roadstershop, Pure Vision Design, etc. And I'm glad you're liking the videos. I appreciate the support as we're trying to grow this into one of the bigger and better automotive channels going.
AutotopiaLA again. Love your videos. Love the cars. If I was super wealthy I may see it differently. I been in automotive field my whole life. I know paying others to do the quality work on here isn't cheap. How can I get one of your hats?
Tim Friar thanks for the compliments. I’m lucky being surrounded by the people I am which gives me access to these builds. They’re still a few tax brackets away for me😂. Soon I’ll be doing Merch. I made a small run of hats and shirts a long time ago. I promise sometime soon there will be hats and shirts and maybe a few other items available. Wait til you see the Chevelle episode on Friday. Such a cool sleeper car.
I can't thank you enough...for showing me THE prettiest shoebox ever built! I never knew this car existed, and I really don't know how it slipped past me, except in the past 2 years , my car world has taken a hit...but anyway Thanx Again !
Elroy Johnston I couldn’t agree more. This car is truly a work of art that you can drive. Would love more seat time but grateful I got a few minutes in the hot seat.
To someone, everyone has a dream car they 'could ' sink a ridiculous amount of money into. But this car is lost a lot of its historic value by shaving of a lot of the lines, it goes far beyond a restomod though yes, beautiful. Check out the original Jaguar d-type if you like this car
I'm almost speechless watching the video of it! I've seen many of these before but nothing that comes even close to this car! It's without a doubt the best car I've seen you film so far!
I've seen this car in person. It's truly amazing. The engine wasn't running when I did see it, and I'm glad they really nailed the sound of the exhaust. Thanks for not destroying it with 40 series Flowmasters!!
Thanks!! I promise I'll have something up and ready to go every Tuesday and Friday at 8:30 am. We've got so much cool stuff to shoot and I love the support from folks like you.
Told ya! Thanks for watching and enjoying it. I'm still completely floored by being given the opportunity to shoot and drive this car. Truly an honor. Thanks for getting it!
When i first saw the righting that said 1.4 million $ and then started to watch the video of the car .Then i got it . With all that design and thousands of hours of labor ,it does add up....That being said a-side .that is one great looking 1951 ford .The designer has great vision.
I'm glad you get it. So many folks don't see how the time involved adds up to these astronomical numbers but when it turns out like this I'd say it's worth every $$ even when it's $1.4 million.
Beyond SIC!! Hats off, gloves off, bow in the presence of greatness. And you didn’t even mention the nardi/ wood wheel...just outstanding! The privilege to be able to touch, get in, and sorry, but molest that car is amazing. Peace
Beautiful build. And if this car is worth 1.4 million ( i do believe so ), then a full review of this car is worth a shot. Mentioning everything that has been modified. That'll do the car justice!
I'm a road bike guy, into my chorme plating and vintage Campagnolo parts, and lugged steel frames, but all artistry can be appreciated by those with eyes to see. This really *is* perfection. 🙂
Thanks Chris. We're a new channel so any help to spread the word would be greatly appreciated. I want everyone to see the vehicles I get to showcase. Thanks for your support.
Good eye Warren. It really is exceptional in every way. Design. Execution. Imagination. Driveablility. Just a staggering piece of work from the Wicked Fabrication guys.
Man hours and parts. He was listing off custom and rare parts and plus materials going into as well. I couldn't be trusted with this because I'd be abusing this thing so it's not just a show car
I only just discovered your channel. I have not been moved by Iron in many years, many, many years. I have been brought back to life. I am So GENUINELY, SINCERELY, Happy for you Man for your experience with a TRUE ,AWESOME WORK OF ART. I am grateful to be excited again about Iron. Muel
I just started the channel about 7 months ago and that's when I started editing. Sooner or later I'd love to have someone handling the editing that is wayyyy better than me.
I’m in total aaaaaawwww. People that say they don’t know where $1.4 million went into that car don’t know what it takes to build a car of that caliber. And I’m totally jealous that you got to drive it. And once in a lifetime thing
..man, that's one boss '51'. I really dig the sound of these old fuel injected engines, ..the way you can hear the valves 'clopping' thru the injector stacks is FN sweet.. Thanks for the ride!

The attention to detail on this car is INSANE! The body panel gap and fitment, even the exhaust is perfectly centered in the exit hole. The riveting, the pedal assembly, the paint.

Wow I am somewwhat envious, what an awesome work of art, R.I.P Bruce shame you never got to drive it, maybe in the great beyond :)
Such a beautiful car and yeah, bummer Bruce never got to drive it.
The best part that few people will get is that that's Bruce's jacket in the trunk. He always wore it and it gets to stay with his car. Even though he's gone, a piece of him stays with the car.
Yeah, cool piece of history right there
Jerking tears over here man... I feel every ounce of passion and respect you have for the car the owners and the build. Thanks for putting this one up. It was a real treat. R.I.P. to Mr. Leven.
God Bless Bruce. Amazing attention to detail, this car is amazing. Peace to all my car brothers.
I love the car, it's beautiful, I saw it for the first time on Jay Leno's Garage but... $1.4 Million is ridiculous.
Dont care about the price.this is one of the best cars I've even seen.the details like the pedals and injection system are epic
Sir... Literally the second vid ive watched from the channel. The car is absolutely breathtaking. Gotta say-"the move" was apparent, and definitely messed me up just watching.. Thanks for sharing, RIP Mr. Bruce Levin, and youve got a new subscriber.
Thank you for the sub and I'm glad you're enjoying what we're doing. This is such a special build. The quality. The story. The design. Still can't believe I got to drive it!! I really appreciate your support of what we're doing here.
Absolutely gorgeous. Who wouldn't love to have this car? I would.
Everything on this car is incredible.
Also, those wheels and tires look absolutely incredible.
Thanks for the feedback and I completely agree with you. This is such a perfect custom vehicle in my opinion.
Love the car but i would be so nervous taking it anywhere. People are so hard on things that aren't there's.
I have never been one to advertise for someone , like the tires no way would I have yellow Goodyear letters on my tires , they just don't look right on that car.
Utter perfection. It's actually a work of art! Thanx for making this video.
The 49-51 Ford/Mercury/Lincoln leadsleds are my favorite cars ever built. This car feels like the ‘blank check’ approach to my dream car. Absolutely wonderful work on the car and this episode in general.
Shawn, with all my respect, God has been AWESOME to you! I can imagine changing gears and having goosebumps simultaneously... The builder is the Picasso of cars, what a master piece!
Wow..the attention to detail on this car is mind boggling, and the sound of that engine is breath taking. True work of art right there.
Glad you get it Paul. And when you see this car in person it gets even better. Then add in the story behind the car and the owner and it's as close to perfect as I know personally.
I don't even know where to start... I'm just speechless... I mean look at the trunk of this thing, everything is just perfect. I really enjoyed watching this one. Tnx for showing us this fantastic build.
Thanks Nik and I agree. It's honestly the most perfect custom I've ever experienced and that's saying something with the cars I'm around. The Wicked Fabrication guys knocked this one way out of the park!
Fuck you bitch
You understand the 1.4 mill then
freaking awesome!! thanks for bringing content other than exotics!! These cars are sick!
Glad you're enjoying the content. I try to show a little of everything and a lot of pro-touring/restomods. They hit my passion button the hardest. Although today's episode is all exotics from an event over the weekend called Cars N Copters which was pretty over the top. But I promise I'll show you a bunch more muscle cars as we go along here.
The sound is epic from that car, looks absolutely stunning, lucky man to be able to drive it.
Still can’t believe I got to drive it Alex

Awesome Jim! And you're welcome. I'm still blown away I got drive it.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Ride In Paradise Bruce.
Well said
This is an awesome build!
Also one of the fastest muscle cars on GTA online (Clique). 💪🏼
This is by far my absolute favorite car reviewed!
Hell, favorite in general!!
While not my preferred style/era of vehicle, the design elements chosen compliment each other so amazingly well, and the build quality is peerless. I'd probably cry if I saw how many hours went into this build.
I said something similar. Never would consider building a ‘51 Ford Coupe ever. But this car, design, choices and execution is stunning to me.
I'm with you on this Wicked GT51. An absolutely stunning Hot Rod. RIP Bruce Leven. ✝️
Thanks for watching and agreeing. There's so many great custom builders and vehicles but every once in a while there's something extra special and this is one of those without question. Too bad Bruce never had the opportunity to drive it. It drives as good as it looks which is really saying something. I appreciate your support.
I feel like if Pagani made a 51 Ford it's interior would be this.
Great design reference! This is such a perfect car in every way.
this car is amazing.. everything is perfectly executed
Frankie Bars yes sir! Glad you get it
AutotopiaLA i differently get it.. this rite hea is a piece of art... i wanna build a house that had sliding glass doors that i could slide open an pull her rite in my living room an show her off . the only thing that i think is crazy is how much it coast to actually build. the cars that u could get for the money that was put in to building this.

You’re another one that gets it. Shocked how clueless some people are at the level of detail on this car.
That's one amazing car, the emotion shows from Shaun after driving and talking about it. Very smooth, classic lines. Not for UK roads though.
This is still the finest custom build I’ve ever experienced
Gotta say I love how much engagement this car has created within this community! I like getting to shine a bit of light on the Wicked Fabrication guys and the cars they build. I know it's insanity considering the dollar amounts but not for the guy that can afford it.

A true MASTERPIECE.
But does it have cup holders?
Lol!!
It has a passenger seat which can equate to 2 cup holders.........
Oof
SubFront...Yeah I Agree!...Not even the Old School "Half Glass Roof"!...for 1.4 million I expect Perfection!...God Bless!
And can you put tofu in the trunk ?!
Thanks!
Really enjoyed this video. I hope to be on you channel one day.
From the exhaust exit locations to the leather straps holdin the trunk and hood down, to the stunning Lincoln power plant, this car is absolutely perfect....
I agree as you may already know. It’s such a genius work of art.
Dream car! And that sound... O...M...G!!!
Glad you get it. The sound is amazing. And the car honestly drives as good as it looks. Still can't believe I got to drive it!
@@AutotopiaLA Shawn, I get the emotion. Getting to drive something that special is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you handled it like a pro. Well done!!
I worked in a shop in San Francisco in the early 90's that sold many really nice sports cars, Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, and the list goes on... On many a quiet Sunday afternoon, I'd spend time either sitting with a camera, looking for a unique angle or view point to capture a 1963 Ferrari 330 LMB, or a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Spyder, or a 1986 288 GTO. I never did get the chance to drive one but I sat in several of them and did drive several much less auspicious Ferraris. They were all nice but some just stood out from everything else.

Just... WOW! What a beauty.
It really is. There's not a detail on this car you can say it should have been different or executed better. Just a flawless custom.
Awesome. ....I in joy education watching Bruce race....it was art in moshion,,,!
RyaN Poe he was something else. A self made man that enjoyed an extraordinary life!
Had to watch again just finished rewatching on jay leno!
Still my absolute favorite car you have had on your channel. I dont know how many times I have watched it . FANTASTIC build !!!!! F___ing amazing
thank you tim still from new mexico
Beyond speechless, one of my favorite cars on earth no lie. And for those who don't see why it's 1.4 million then u don't under stand how much time and effort and work (man hours) goes into this
You get it! And it’s even better in person not to mention the drive! Still can’t believe I was offered to drive it. Wow!!
The car for someone who already has 25 in the garage
this guy needs more subs for sure!
"You are absolutely right sir!
One of my all-time favorites also."
Yes!! I love seeing that some people understand and get the beauty and perfection of this car!!
1.4 million dollars for pure and beautiful art, I think this baby is worth every penny.
I’m with you believe me
Another beautiful and extremely well executed example of handbuilt craftsmanship. I dunno how it is you come by these jewels, a special talent or team possibly. I'll sub just to get a chance to see gems like that, more so than the every day supercars that seem to be turning into one car to me. Thank you for this amazing story.
Love this car, but would really like to see someone do a side by side comparison of how this car was modified from an original. There is so much to take in.
Yeah google a “1951 shoebox Ford” 😂 it’s comical how much they’ve shaped to their own measurements
very cool it is truly a piece of art
It really is. Every single detail on this car is perfect in my opinion.
i agree , that polished copper looks stunning and the lincoln motor sounds great
Price or cost in this case is so relative or subjective. 1.4 million is an easy number to come up with when inflated numbers are used. 6,000 mam hours at $200 an hour plus parts. Reality may be much different.
But. Awesome awesome car!!!!
Eric Dolby if you saw it in person you’d see the hours. It’s so obvious. I tried to show but nothing shows on video like in person. This build and design is perfection in my opinion.
Man*
Eric Dolby that’s the best car I ever seen
Mam hours are way more than $200/hr.
Wow...wow! I'm practically speechless. I was about to say that Jay should feature this car on his show, lol.
Thats a whole lotta love into that car with no expense spared. Work of art really
You get it. Some people just don’t get it.
Absolutely gorgeous car impeccable build the quality and standards kept within the build are ridiculous such a beauty and so sad Bruce passed before driving the car getting to enjoy it 😔 great video man I can definitely see your emotion towards the car keep up the awesome content 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks brotha!! Yeah, this is an exceptional build. The design. Execution. Story behind it. Just awesome and still can't believe I got to drive it. And I'm bummed I never got to meet Bruce other than a few minutes on FaceTime when we were at Leno's Garage shooting.
It's stunning but no way I'm paying 1 million for that
I get it. And it is stunning.
MyLifeAsLouis you dont have a milion, so stop whining. Beautiful car.
transikk... He needs a million to voice his opinion? Thats an insane amount of money. Rich or not.
Booker Thompson not really if you going to take in to concideration how many hours went in to build. What kind of part has been used, time ect. It looks like a piece of art.
Booker Thompson Maybe it's worth 1 million to the owner. In that case my 09 f150 with 350k is worth the same 👍
It's super nice. But I don't see 1.4 million.
You'd have to see the car in person Tim. The choices, the execution the parts, etc. I'm around some of the greatest builds and builders in the world on a regular basis and this car is perfect and every turn. The paint and body alone is over $100K! If you saw it in person it might change your mind.
AutotopiaLA still...1.4 million. Just because someone has the money to burn doesn't mean it's worth it. It's a bad ride don't get me wrong. Love your videos by the way.
Thanks bro and I'm never trying to justify or negate the spending. I have the luck of being around some of the biggest and best builders/builds around and I don't think most people understand how much gets spent building a Ring Brothers car or Roadstershop, Pure Vision Design, etc. And I'm glad you're liking the videos. I appreciate the support as we're trying to grow this into one of the bigger and better automotive channels going.
AutotopiaLA again. Love your videos. Love the cars. If I was super wealthy I may see it differently. I been in automotive field my whole life. I know paying others to do the quality work on here isn't cheap. How can I get one of your hats?
Tim Friar thanks for the compliments. I’m lucky being surrounded by the people I am which gives me access to these builds. They’re still a few tax brackets away for me😂. Soon I’ll be doing Merch. I made a small run of hats and shirts a long time ago. I promise sometime soon there will be hats and shirts and maybe a few other items available. Wait til you see the Chevelle episode on Friday. Such a cool sleeper car.
Speechless, the amount of details in this build is breathtaking.
I can't thank you enough...for showing me THE prettiest shoebox ever built! I never knew this car existed, and I really don't know how it slipped past me, except in the past 2 years , my car world has taken a hit...but anyway
Thanx Again !
I saw this car in person in a WA car show and I was speechless!!!! In person, it’s out of control and full of pure sexiness 🤤. Great review bro 👍🏼
Roland Jerez thanks and I totally agree. Stunning piece of work.
If perfection was a car this is it
Elroy Johnston I couldn’t agree more. This car is truly a work of art that you can drive. Would love more seat time but grateful I got a few minutes in the hot seat.
To someone, everyone has a dream car they 'could ' sink a ridiculous amount of money into. But this car is lost a lot of its historic value by shaving of a lot of the lines, it goes far beyond a restomod though yes, beautiful. Check out the original Jaguar d-type if you like this car
I'm in love with this car! I'm so happy I came across your channel:-) Subscribed!
Thanks Ax. Yeah, I’m crazy about this one too.
I'm almost speechless watching the video of it! I've seen many of these before but nothing that comes even close to this car! It's without a doubt the best car I've seen you film so far!
I've seen this car in person. It's truly amazing. The engine wasn't running when I did see it, and I'm glad they really nailed the sound of the exhaust. Thanks for not destroying it with 40 series Flowmasters!!
Editor : how many times do you want me to zoom in on your face ?
This guy : yes
Keep doin what ur doin man i love ur vids
Thanks!! I promise I'll have something up and ready to go every Tuesday and Friday at 8:30 am. We've got so much cool stuff to shoot and I love the support from folks like you.
My dream car!!! Perfect color!!! Wow!!!!! Awesome dream car !!! Bro!!! 👊👍👍😎😎🍻
I'm with you on this one. Such an amazing build. One of my all time favorite customs ever built.
Craftsmanship is outta this world. Truly amazing build, give me this before a bugatti....
Glad you’re able to appreciate what this is and the quality of work
Absolute PERFECTION.
You CANNOT get any better than THIS !
what a masterpiece!?! ...stunning!!!
I could go on and on...
Oh man you weren't joking yesterday when you said you had something good store for today :o 10/10
Told ya! Thanks for watching and enjoying it. I'm still completely floored by being given the opportunity to shoot and drive this car. Truly an honor. Thanks for getting it!
Ed bassmaster: "would you just look at that ."
fez s look at that look at this look at this look at that ... probly cuz he didn’t look at it
Lol...51 Ford Coupe worth $1.4 mil?PSSSSSH!😂😂😂
@@jaycustom21 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When i first saw the righting that said 1.4 million $ and then started to watch the video of the car .Then i got it . With all that design and thousands of hours of labor ,it does add up....That being said a-side .that is one great looking 1951 ford .The designer
has great vision.
I'm glad you get it. So many folks don't see how the time involved adds up to these astronomical numbers but when it turns out like this I'd say it's worth every $$ even when it's $1.4 million.
I understand how they got to that point, just not the why.
Beyond SIC!! Hats off, gloves off, bow in the presence of greatness. And you didn’t even mention the nardi/ wood wheel...just outstanding! The privilege to be able to touch, get in, and sorry, but molest that car is amazing. Peace
I still can’t believe I got to drive it.
Beautiful build. And if this car is worth 1.4 million ( i do believe so ), then a full review of this car is worth a shot. Mentioning everything that has been modified. That'll do the car justice!
Yeah, this was an earlier video of ours. I’d love a chance to reshoot it and nail all the details.
Gorgeous hot rod! Perfection.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
fw1421 totally agree!!
My favorite car of all-time. I have dreams of finishing my Studebaker in a similar style.
*_Kinda freakin’ out_*
*_Perfect_*
This car is absolutely fantastic. The details level are amazing.
I couldn’t agree more with you on this
I'm a road bike guy, into my chorme plating and vintage Campagnolo parts, and lugged steel frames, but all artistry can be appreciated by those with eyes to see. This really *is* perfection. 🙂
How do you only have under 500 subscribers
Thanks Chris. We're a new channel so any help to spread the word would be greatly appreciated. I want everyone to see the vehicles I get to showcase. Thanks for your support.
Bad ass car,
Couldn't agree more. By far one of my top favorite customs of all time. Such a perfect build.
With such a beautiful car, why you keep showing yourself- VOICE OVER DUDE
Yeah, this was early on in our shooting and we were still learning. Would love to reshoot this with our style now!
No wonder you were blown away by this. Absolutely amazing in every way! No compromises.
I feel lucky can see and hear sound this beautiful car, thank you
Masterpiece 😵
Good eye Warren. It really is exceptional in every way. Design. Execution. Imagination. Driveablility. Just a staggering piece of work from the Wicked Fabrication guys.
Like si viniste por un poco de todo
Jaja si xd
La verdad si
Si XD
No pete
Io
Iconic body shape...
The craftsmanship is off the charts but that SOUND😲😲😲😲😲😲. OH MY GOD! NOTHING today even comes close!
Pretty beautiful work , that details are perfection.
As you heard in the video I completely agree. Perfection
invested 1 million? i dont see it, nice car but not worth 1.4 million
Steve g we all get our opinions. Mine differs from yours but I understand
he didn't have it made to sell it. that's why people put so much money into cars. Youll never get back what you put into a project like this anyways
Man hours and parts. He was listing off custom and rare parts and plus materials going into as well. I couldn't be trusted with this because I'd be abusing this thing so it's not just a show car
this video needs to be re done with you going over the car with more detail
Wish we shot this after we figured out our format! Did this early into the channel when we were learning and figuring out what/how to do things
@@AutotopiaLA yeah I realised, that is why I think the car deserve another shot :D
Respect ✊ to you shawn
Thanks Ross! This was such an incredible episode to shoot. Still blown away by this car. Perfection.
AutotopiaLA awesome shawn. Speak soon
Thanks for sharing! That was awesome!
I only just discovered your channel.
I have not been moved by Iron in many years, many, many years.
I have been brought back to life.
I am So GENUINELY, SINCERELY, Happy for you Man for your experience with a TRUE ,AWESOME WORK OF ART.
I am grateful to be excited again about Iron.
Muel
1 million pfft! It's a 51 Ford please! Honestly, I don't see $500k.
Watching the editing of this video is almost unbearable
I get it. That was about 2 months into us creating content and I sucked at editing. Still learning every time we shoot and edit.
My bad haha it was just all I could think watching, cool car I'll check out some newer stuff
I just started the channel about 7 months ago and that's when I started editing. Sooner or later I'd love to have someone handling the editing that is wayyyy better than me.
That is a beautiful work of art... And like any art, its worth as much as a buyer will pay for it...
Guys, guys man guys trust him it’s a honor to drive that car.
Say what you want...given the whole story I was honestly moved at the opportunity of getting to drive this considering the owner never did
@@AutotopiaLA lenno got to drive it. If you had more brains say something other than trust me it’s a honor
Yeah man.. that’s really special. Thanks for sharing
Glad you appreciate what this is as it’s one of the finest builds I’ve ever seen
Understated beauty with this motor. Absolutely slick.
This car truly is flawless imo
I’m in total aaaaaawwww. People that say they don’t know where $1.4 million went into that car don’t know what it takes to build a car of that caliber. And I’m totally jealous that you got to drive it. And once in a lifetime thing
I still cant get enough of this monster 2 years later i still wanna look at it .
I hear ya. Same for me. Stunning build full of wonderful details
Wow very professionally done beyond awesome. I never seen a 50s car with look that good with out chrome bumber
Yeah, this is such an incredible build on every level.
..man, that's one boss '51'. I really dig the sound of these old fuel injected engines, ..the way you can hear the valves 'clopping' thru the injector stacks is FN sweet.. Thanks for the ride!
Glad you enjoyed it. This is still my personal all time favorite custom. Perfection 👊
@@AutotopiaLA 👊
