    Hundreds, thousands of people want to see this build go down the road under it's own power and I have no doubt that you'll sort it out. You'll give your fans what they are anticipating. Good on you for undertaking this reclamation. It will be a glorious build.

      I started really following these two after watching one of each builds they working on and thinking how they gonna make something out of that. With Brent is was his last build (35 dodge 3 window when the shop burnt) and Carl it's a combination of his wife's caddy, but mainly the Lincoln.

    You showed us all an amazing transformation when building it the first go round.

Great job getting it hammered back into a working shape again, I can't tell you how disappointed I was when the fire claimed the coupe. I was really digging that build and I'm elated it's on it's way back. As always another great video and very entertaining. This is one of if not my favorite show.

    Honestly Brent, I would never have imagined that yard art would have ever been more than iron settin by the pond, the first time you turned it into magic. Today i watched a miracle on video, right before my eyes. I was so glad to see you hammerin on that trunk again. As painful as that was to watch, I can only imagine what it was like for you. To see what you guys were able to accomplish working together to " Make it Better" inspired me to go mow around the weeds in my yard. Truly enjoyed the visit. See you guys on the next one. Be well.

    I’m so glad I happened onto this post. Both you & Carl were my regular daily stops till the destructive fires.
    I don’t know if you remember me from then but I also was a victim of fire. I lost everything along with approximately
    576 other victims of the Malibu fires then suffered a stroke. I’m still in the hospital and have been for all the time since
    then and have absolutely nothing to look forward to when I get out. My only joy was reading all the wonderful channels
    on Utube on a tablet a wonderful friend gifted me. I’m so very happy to see you rebuilding.
    I have to bail since it’s very hard for me to type this out with my left hand as my right hand is almost completely useless.
    Good night to you both, two of the best fabricators.

    Great job, guys. Watching how you smooged the panels back in to shspe on time-lapse mode was mint.
    The metal looked as though it was fluid at times, like when metal is taped, then poured into a mould at the foundry.

    It’s understandable, it was probably 1000 degrees plus in there so it’s just deformed now! Just take your time and push and dolly slowly and the metal will do whatever you want! I love blacksmith work and working metal! I welded and fabricated for almost 40 years and I’ve even blacksmithed some cutting blades for a trencher that they didn’t make anymore and the guy couldn’t find replacement blades for it! I made 41 blades for his trencher and he was astonished as I was but Brent I loved every minute of even though it wore my arm out beating on the steel shaping it! It was pretty cool brother! I love watching y’all shape the metal and your Coupe! I’d probably have to go back in your videos but I don’t remember what the Coupe looked like before the fire my friend, or the old truck that was in there!

    If you squint it's mint! Fantastic progress, guys. Kudos to Karl for coming by and helping. I'm very impressed with the power hammer and his handling of it. You mentioned new shop. It will be very interesting to follow progress on that. All the best, Mart in England.
