I really respect hes workmanship, i just sit home watch tv and on my computer, this guys builds something like this after loosing everything, so much respect
Losing. One o. Lose is the most misspelled word on the internet. And its only 4 letters.
Yet another brilliant short film from Mr. Leno.
He's doing arguably, the best job in the world, of bringing classic, rare and unusual cars to the attention of the public.
Its complimentary that Jay recognizes this as true American hot rodding! The car is wonderful, builder very humbling to be such an artisan!
Just stumbled upon this episode. This is a beautiful car. So inspiring to see his incredible talent being manifested in such an original and beautiful automobile. I love everything about that car!
"What I did is, I built my own casting foundry," he says, in the same casual tone of voice I would use to say something like, "What I did is, I bought some groceries." :)
those hinges could have been cast from melted silver dollars, won playing poker of course
What a blessing to able to watch and enjoy these mechanical works of engineering art. God bless you Jay.
Another automobile masterpiece!Thank you for sharing this thing of wonder with us.
I'm sold! Let's all wear suits and drive cars that look like that! Bet the ladies dig that a hell of a lot better than my sweatpants and minivan!
Just put on a Savile Row tie over your t-shirt. They can't resist.
Excellent work by J.T. Nesbitt! ... Notes to Jay: 1) Drop your way overused "Nicely done". 2) Stop putting your hands and fingerprints on virtually all the extremely fabulous cars with perfect paint on your shows. (the owners are super happy to have their cars on your show, but the trade-off as to your fingerprints on the body of the car is obviously off-putting to them!)

@@donfredette5189 ... have a pretty good one -thank you Don, currently with a 63 E Type Jag convertible, an Aston Martin Vanquish, and a 488 GTB Ferrari ... and NO, neither you NOR Jay, will put your fingerprints on ANY of them!!!
@@sas6561 get a life
That is one well thought out vehicle that has "Class" written all over it. I would like to see Jay add it to his collection if possible, so he could share this new innovation in his museum. JT is a world class car builder and I think it would be nice to see how much a car like this would be worth. I know this car would not be feasible in Canada where I live!
Wow. I just realized how Jay is far from being insensitive and pretentious, it actually moved him alot to hear what kept that guy going was his show.
Jay is a good guy, he cares about people.
There's many of us out here with the same experience. I believe he's helped many through tuff times as I assuredly know. Thanks Jay and God Bless You Both
Such a humble artiste.That is a beautiful work of him,and his crew.I'd really like to see the shop someday.Well done All !
I just came across this after watching many of Jay's videos. This one is truly unusual. A work of art that could be in a fine art gallery if it wasn't on the road. A real treat!
13:38
"Not gonna be takin a trip with the wife with this"
"well here I'll show you the trunk" HAHAHAHAHA
I've watched many of Jay's videos and can't believe I missed this one. This guy is one of the sharpest guys Jay has had on his show. Heck, he may be the sharpest. Talk about being able to talk the talk and walk the walk! I hope Jay does a followup on him to see what he is doing.
What a beautiful car! I love the hand casted ornaments, and running on natural gas too? I have nothing but respect for him. Killer car!
I've done over 400K kms in Thailand on natural gas. Only had to replace valves once and had them redone once. Natural gas rocks. I get 12 km/l with a Civic 2.0. Saved me tons of money. Oh and filling it up... takes about 2 minutes for a 50 l tank.
Genius car. It maded me think of Captain Nemo.... BEAUTIFUL !!!
+rieks gnodde Yeah!
What I like, is he's not like a car salesman at all. He knows every square inch of that car.
"You don't wanna end up in a pyramid..." Jay says the funniest stuff!!!
01:15 : Great homage to JL's Garage: it truly is a celebration of creativity and ingenuity (as well as beautiful objects) and an inspiration to us all!
A beautiful creation! I hope there's many more to come!
Simply beautiful Car. I always like the mix of Modern and old, but the fact he went out of his way to give it his own complete flair makes it that much nicer. I love the door Hinge designs and Steering wheel.
what a feeling it must be too build your own car. beautiful work!
Love the Louisiana flair in the design, so much detail.
Perfection.
They look like Russian mobster
Why is this guy not infinitely more famous??
He reminds me of a nikola tesla
The reason why CNG (Compressed natural gas) DOES NOT WORK at normal speed is ........is the fact it is under thousands of pounds of pressure in these tanks on the car. When hit by a semi, the explosion will take out a building. So, air bags and seat belts and bumpers are moot. When it’s hit hard, like totaled which happens thousands of times a day....it explodes. A city bus or garbage truck is where this technology will sleep. Oil fields. Fork trucks. Etc. LNG (Liquid natural gas) has to be frozen to to much below zero for it to be effective. So it won’t work. The future is DME. Dymetaleyther DME. It is literally made out of trash. Volvo AB has had in trucks for years along with own Mack Trucks and Prevost Bus and Volvo off road. So it’s all been done already waiting on retardation in the world government and ours. Fake emissions standards is why. Cuz DIESEL FUEL BURNS COMPLETELY CLEAN ALREADY. Propaganda based learning keeps you now these days 50 years behind if you use the typical main stream media
@@hatzlmike1 Tell that to the French. Paris is having smog problems because of the heavy use of diesel cars in France.
Also, the tanks for CNG/LNG are much thicker and stronger than those for gasoline (which also can explode). The reality is natural gas vehicles are no more dangerous than gasoline ones. Both can explode if the tank is ruptured or there is a leak.
3 reasons:
Ford
Chevy
Dodge
@@4600norm while gasoline, sure, can explode, its much more susceptible to burning. However gasoline fumes on the other hand, thats where you get a big boom.
I thought I was a good home brewed gadgeteer but after watching this video and the detail of his work.....I'm speechless! Awesome job on that car!
I went to Coker Tires in Chattanooga to pick up some wheels (I was passing through on my way to a car show). It was like going in your local neighborhood parts shop, very friendly down home type guys, and very customer service oriented). I had ordered them, and made arrangements to pick them up rather than ship them. Very nice folks!
This is my favorite car on Jay's garage. Stunningly beautiful. I hope he makes more cars.
One of the most beautiful Car i've ever seen !! It reminds me to the silver arrows from Mercedes in the 30's.
The only thing i would change are the fenders, because i find them a Little bit to much and they don't really fit to the beautiful look (my opinion) !
Greetings from good old Germany
Out of all the cars and stuff featured on this site. This is by far the most awe inspiring vehicle. Way ahead of its time.
Here in Brazil many many people drive with natural gas conversion kits, the cars can run gas, ethanol and natural gas (don’t see us going electric in 10-20 years, it’s not economically viable for us)
WOW! That is the only thing that kept coming to my mind as I watched this video. WOW! The exquisite detailing in the door handles, hinges, and gauges on that incredible dash board. The steering wheel alone is a work of art. This incredible car is one of best "homages" I guess you can say to the 1920's and 30's era "Giant" aero engined as well as other racing cars. This designer is as true genius and a master craftsman and engineer. It would be a absolute dream to own one of his cars.
Beautiful car. I absolutely love the craftsmanship and thought process that went into this car.
This guy is a genius!!! Not only is it automotive art but the best thing,it's running a WIDE RATIO gearbox,something ALL car makers MUST return to. If I ever have the money,I'd gladly buy one!!!! Just a piece of beautiful excellence!!!! KUDOS!!!!
Wire spoked wheels again I just love them. As a bicycle mechanic and have complete knowledge of them. I know that their strength lies in the knowledge and skill of the Wheelwright. Once mastered the difference is like night and day. I know this because the bicycle wheel is right at the edge of the limits of the materials used yet the wheels I've touched and trued until they are completely done will hold up for thousands of hard driven miles every time without needing anything. The wire wheel is really an amazing invention and instrument because the strong wheel is also the wheel that sings a song. That song can be felt with every revolution of the wheel connecting your hands to the road and Ride Like the Wind.
Just had the honor of meeting JT, and him briefly showing me around his studio, including seeing the Magnolia Special in the flesh. Amazing and truly remarkable guy. And he taught everyone the simple Northern Louisana technique for eating crawfish at a neighborhood boil!
“When you pull a spark plug that rascal is clean”
A true Artesian, in so many technical aspects including engineering. A very cool machine... The suit? This cat is a GearHead who promised his mom not to look like a bum. I Like that too, so lay of the mans shoes. What I don't get is all the thumbs down on the UA-cam vote. What the hell is that all about?
I didn't think he was Artesian. I thought he was Peloponisian.
Incredible, "beyond" creativity and skill. Everything about this car is fantastic. I am a lifelong car builder and engine builder and the skills of this man humble me.
Beautiful machine and congrats to the guy who made it.
After I watched this video I stopped playing video games and have built several cars from the ground up... just kidding, still playing video games and not making an impact on the world.
Good
Is that pamyu pamyu in the picture?
Ron Burgandy You are winner!
Yes
+Jeremy Madsen You impact on the world anytime, even if you loosing time videogaming.
This car is a perfect example of where I hope car technology will start going. A very technologically advanced car that is not all about electronics and creature comforts. They are thinking outside the box and they are looking to re-invent or re-imagine something that is an everyday item in most people's lives. I can't wait to see more vehicles like this and what others will do with the same concept. Keep it going!!!
The awesomenest about this car and these guys are absolutely impossible to overstate.
Some brilliant American car engineers.Highlighted so brilliantly on Jay's garage.
Absolutely a magnificently designed and executed automobile! Way to go, JT. Thanks Jay for sharing this episode.
Surprising that he does not go into the story about how he lost it all, I believe, in Katrina or some other financial misfortune. Worked and/or built and designed motorcycles. Was at the point of waiting tables to keep food on the table Was at a bar working on his sketch book of motorcycles. A bar patron asked to look at his sketch book, figuratively and literally was weeping at his designs. This guy had just cashed out LARGE in high tech and offered to fund him. I believe he was designing motorcycles emulating the design and form of crossbows.
+Bill Timmick Thanks for the info! Is his company listed?
I would die to walk through Mr. Jay Leno's Garage .. I love how he like to keep the cars as original as possible.. no mods , that how it should be. if u have a original car , don't mess with it.
Thank you so much guys. A solid testament to things done well!
I like this guy. Beautiful car, and self-casting parts is impressive. There is no fuel source more ubiquitous than electric, but supercharger stations would have been very sparse in 2012. The police cars and cabs in London, Ontario have used natural gas since the 70's. Kind of a steampunk vibe to the car as well.
Well 7 years later and we still drive traditional gasoline powered cars. The oil magnates have got us all by the balls and they're not letting go any time soon. Very very cool car. Another great episode from Mr Leno.
Strangely enough, I’ve worked all over South America (offshore drilling rigs) & CNG vehicles are all over the place. And these are countries with little middle class, it’s either super wealthy or poor. And it’s the poor that afford the CNG cars
The XK engine is a fantastic design. These guys did a good job with this. great choices.
For me, that gennelman has built the most amazingly beautiful work of art that Jay has so far had on the show. Its sorta perfect.
Me: That's big car! (Jay calls the designer over) Me: That's big dude.
I would convert if I had the money. That is a beautiful, clean, and efficient car.
This is a great episode! Lovely car and very inspiring story! I never fail to learn something new from Jay's videos!
Nesbitt's designs are from the soul - Always following his work. Good stuff.
Nice to see a bespoke car, with clever details all the way through. . . .and what a noise, gorgeous

I have said it once I will say it again! Jay you need to make this a TV show! I think people would love it. Also wanna say that car is gorgeous, every car guy or girl should appreciate it.
Cudos and congratulations to the designer/builder. CNG Jag 4.2L....how cool is that!
One could easily make out J.T. was more than proud to be with Jay Leno talking about his creation.... When the Motor god come blessing you.... Congratulations... beautiful car... great thought ... this is the future!! :)
And Leno was nice enough to let him tell about the car and didn't interrupt him once! This car is to show what people can do if they put their mind into it, awesome.
This looks like a bigger version of a Maserati 8CTF from 1938, gorgeous nevertheless
Beautiful. I love the hinges and the door handle!
Also: THIS CAR SOUNDS FUCKING WONDERFUL !
That car is one of the most beautiful works of drivable art ever made. Truly a master craftsman in his own right like Bugatti, Porsche, Ferrari, Tucker, Benz, Rolls, Royce, and the many other auto pioneers throughout the last century. While yes, it's a hot rod of sorts, didn't almost all the others start by making one off models that evolved. Stunning piece of machinery. I would love to own one of those!
A lot of love went into that machine. Beautiful, beautiful car.
What a wonderful car! What an amazingly lovely man JT seems to be!
Just brilliant Jay can give him this exposure: I really hope he can build lots of these cars. and make a fortune. To have made this car in just 2 years is incredible.
Make your diesel to run on 30% CNG and 70% Diesel. You get a boost in power and you can get rid of the particulate filter because it will produce 20 times less fine carbon particles. (not 20% less, it is 20 times less)
A big mystery has been solved, all over the world men go missing temporarily at the same time for about 30 min. It baffled scientists all over the world. Finally they found out what was happening. The temp. disappearances were men all over the world stopping to watch Jay Leno's garage. Mistery resolved.
Lot like what happened when Paul Harvey and the "rest of the story"used to come on the radio. Lol
Time to mysteriously reapier.
Great vid. Keep em coming.
I watch this episode at least once a year.
Highly refined steampunk.
Just beautiful. 🤜🤛
I really like this guy, very interesting and intelligent
I love the beginning of this video...i wish it would say the same forever.
Beautiful car this Magnolia Special. Thanks for providing this wonderful machine. Really appreciate it.
Incredible work. Hats off
"If the ancient Egyptians were doing it, how hard could it be?" Leno: "Yeah, but look what happened to them." I love the comic relief in these videos. I'm a recent subscriber, and Jay has definitely won me back over.
I'm finally getting the chance to catch up with all the back log of the Garage.
This is an absolutely brilliant car, beautiful, functional and well built along with a new concept by using natural gas.
Over here in Australia we have used LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) since the 1970's and a lot of our busses run on LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) so this is really just adding to those systems by taking away the need to truck in the already tanked and pressurised gas.
The biggest problem is that if everyone was using it, the infrastructure would need to be up graded to allow for enough flow to cater for more use but in saying that, it's very possible and probably far more affordable than installing some of the other systems.
What I'm waiting for is for someone to blend the NG and plug in Electric Hybrid system's which would then make it the ultimate in environmentally friendly car travel and extremely cheap to run.
this guy took all of my best ideas together and made a masterpiece. genius
Engineering, Fuel Choice, Design, Detailed Craftsmanship just stunningly elegant.
One of the best episodes ever...
definitely one of my favorite cars, if not my favorite, on this channel. This car is wonderfully done.
I really like this guy, one hell of an artist, and a brilliant designer. He might be the coolest geek ever!
Anyone who decides that an engine is a "big block" or a "small block" based only on displacement doesn't know much about engines. You can have a wide range of displacements with the same block. For example, with a small block Chrysler (LA), the factory displacements ranged from 273 cid (4.5L) to 360 cid (5.9L), and with an aftermarket "stroker kit" you can get 440 cid (7.2L) from it.
Ford made a big block 332 cid (5.4L) and GM made a small block 400 cid (6.6L).
I know a man (Tom Keosababian -spelling?) that runs a Corvair on CNG and it performs well and I believe he even races it. Nothing like those folk that "think outside the box."
Outstanding! Completely, Mom raised him Right ! Bless ya Ma!
I've done some home casting and it's a ton of work to get right. That is a beautiful car
In the not too distant future, we'll be watching this car on J T Nesbitt's Garage, and every single automobile, motorcycle, gadget, you-name-it will have been designed and maybe built by this incredible young man.
I think his business must be going very well. If you can design and built this. And being such a nice guy . .
They need to bring this guy back 10 years later.
Magnificent. Truly a marvel of American engineering and design.
I spent some time in Europe and they sell automotive LPG (liquid propane gas) at many service stations, which is very similar to natural gas. The Euro hot rodders love to take big American V8 muscle cars and convert them to LPG because petrol is so expensive over there and it also passes their emissions requirements.
"you know a lot of you guy are sitting home watching tv .. playing video games...there guys in their garage actually building stuff"
Thanks Jay leno ❤
I knew a guy who converted his car to run on NG. He used his house supply and pump to compress the gas into the car tank. It was super clean, the oil never got dirty, and super cheap to run.
Love the wheel and fender combo!
That man is a Gentleman and I congratulate him on an incredible achievement.
beautiful car , at my job at the water Dept. I maintained large stationary engines of the 5108 ci. that ran on CNG.
I understand this guys reasoning completely. I like everything on my motorcycles I touch to be the highest quality I can afford and tailored to me. What a difference it makes
This fantastic ....everything about this video is great..Jay I think this is Emmy time.
Excellent work! I do think that a classically styled car like this would benefit from more period looking headlights, imho that would give the car more presence.
His Wraith motorbike, before it was re-designed by hacks, is still my favourite of his works. This guy is just a solid builder and designer. No sugar coatings needed.
That is really a cool car. What I really like is the lack of plastic and cheap stuff they put on cars today. Also, I have two classic trucks without power stearing and they handle great. In many cases, the extra stuff is not necessary as this car shows. (Of course this depends upon the vehicle). Natural gas is a great idea. Why haven't we gone in this direction already? Great video........
