I wondered why we haven't heard from you in so long. Glad to hear you were filming as you went. I love seeing these rare pre-war cars opened up to reveal their unique design. I have Duesenberg tastes on a Model T budget so this is as close as I'll ever get to most of these.
WOW! Quite a trip down memory lane with some of these classics. I appreciate the talent, craftsmanship, and patience to get each of these projects to the stage that they are in.
So glad your back! Love seeing you and your crew work the magic! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Model A project. 1939 would have seen King George VI as the ruling monarch of the British Empire [including us Canadians]. Him and his wife [The Queen Mother] would have been the recently deceased Queen Elizabeth's parents. She would have been a 13 year old Princess at that time.
It's wonderful to hear back from you! You're among my all time favorite channels, so I've been eagerly awaiting your comeback! Thank you for providing all the insight.
I was just looking at some old vids a lil while ago, and was wondering what happened. Glad to see you're still going strong. Might be time you hire an apprentice sheet metal guy who wants to keep these classics alive the right way. Please, keep the uploads coming !
I'm so pleased your back to posting videos of your marvellous workshop and all those beautiful motorcars. Superb workmanship in every aspect of your craft. Best wishes from the UK.
It's great to see you put out this video. Always impressive to see the work you and your team are doing. Maybe contract or hire a staff editor to edit all that footage you've taken. Thanks again and have a great 2023.
Wow, your back! Thank you Mark for your shop tour. Truly amazing. What a wonderful collection. So glad to see all these beautiful cars. I;n hoping you are able to find the time to edit all the rough material. Love to see more video's 😃
Great to see you are back ,missed your channel . What an awesome collection of fantastic cars, can't wait to see them finished . Happy New Year to you and your crew.
It is so great that you are back. Your videos are very inspiring to me and it really brings the quality of restoration projects up to the next level. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Looking forward to a great year of your videos
Thanks for making time to catch up, looking forward to seeing some more of your work. You see a lot of standard work but when it comes to the exceptional most people dont want to take the time to share publicly. May the new year be a wonderful one. Charles
Happy New Year, so glad you are back. Do enjoy your videos. Such attention to detail. You are amazing, and have quite the shop. I have been following the Victoria build. I noticed around the 28:40 mark that you have the steering column support like they had originally done. If you are going to drive the car a lot it may be wise to add the after market column unit that attaches to the dash cross member. I did it to mine and I can get in and out using the steering wheel without the worry of tearing the under side of the gas tank. You guys are doing a fantastic job on the Vicky as well as all the other cars. Keep up the great work. Regards, PaulB
So glad to see you back ! I love your channel ,I was afraid you were ill or worse . Really happy to see all is good with you and your shop . I look forward to seeing more talented people doing there thing . Welcome back !!!!
Very pleased to see you back to making content again. I love all the content.... As a old school body restoration professional, I particularlly love the metal fab content. Great to see you back!
I love it that you are posting again. Your videos are great and your voice over is the equivalent of Bob Ross for classic car restoration. You’ve got a great shop, well kept, great tools and the skills to run them. I’m looking forward to seeing your videos again! Thank you for posting.
Hello from Indiana and i am glad you are back. i'm sure it takes a lot of time but i do enjoy your videos very much. just love the classics! the work you do is astonishing to me
Great to see new videos from you. Your work is outstanding, and those cars are really beautiful, will look forward to more content in future. I used to work in car restoration myself, classic jaguar's, mainly MK2 , e-type, XJ and XJS.
2023 just got a whole lot better! Been waiting since you did a video with the Skybolt behind sitting you. Sooo glad to see you back, looking forward to the new videos. Happy New Year !
Thank You Thank You Thank You I have hoped that you would return. Every time I get to work on my 30 Model A coupe I use you to thrive to as close to perfection as I can. You are my inspiration.
Glad you are back miss the work on the FORD. I would like to see more, I am restoring a1940 Buick sport coupe myself a lot of work. enjoyed all the cars there in the shop. cant wait to see more. Thank You so much for taking the time to make the video.
So glad to see your channel putting out content again! I'm a first time amatuer "restoring" my grandfathers 31 Model A coupe and really enjoyed watching and learning from your work on the Victoria. I have two young kids and would like to find a victoria or slant window sedan to take the whole family - especially one done right and to the level I know yours is going to turn into.
I’m really glad to see you back on YT! I think you have one of the best restoration cHannels! I am VERY interested in seeing that Model A truck restoration!
Your restoration shop looks like building 21 at NASA. What an incredible bunch of automobiles ! 4 cords at a time must keep you busy. I love Auburns, they were fantastic in style , Art Deco masterpieces.
There are several UA-camrs that Farm out the editing process on their videos, just a thought. Your the pro in your business. Letting go of the production might be tough, but If you can find that person where you can mes your talents, it's a win, win for you and you put your talents to better use. Love the channel! Welcome back.
Wow, you do beautiful work on beautiful cars. Last summer I picked up two 29 Packard Super 8 rolling chassis in Utah (from different locations) & have enough to put together a driver with a few parts left over but the bodies are long gone so I plan to do a speedster. The front fenders on one chassis look like it was used to push start tanks in the desert! 😳
Welcome back! Wow, what a shop tour! I think you need to hire an editor (no, I'm not applying for the job, lol). I'm looking forward to the videos. Congrats on getting the upholstery shop up and running again.
Wow, welcome back! When I wrote all those years ago to ask if you were ever going to post again, you said that you hoped to eventually, but I never thought we'd see you up and posting again. You have been missed! Mike P.S. Hope we can catch up on the '31 Model A Victoria restoration!
Yes, at least on the channel. I've been here all along pounding away. I miss my audience and wanted to get back on the channel. Video's will be simple, but we are not making movies here. (-:
Happy New Year.I must have been un-subscribed by YT as I see that I'm not,for the moment. So many interesting projects,and not enough time...Life's story.
well hello im so happy to see you came back thanks for showing your superior workmanship again can you show some of the cars you finished when you wernt posting? thanks
Thanks for the tour. Excited about the Model A episodes to come missed watching it's progress. And I get the editing issue with videos it's my least favorite part of having a UA-cam channel. Takes a lot of time!
Would have been nice to see the model A in its original livery. My dad had a restoration biz when I was a kid. Lots of cool cars came through the shop, one of which I saw 35 years later at the Henry Ford Museum.
Great video! A sad comment frequently made in the video is one I am familiar with. “We can’t get the parts anymore”. Even cinch fasteners are getting impossible to find.
Great to see you back up and posting. Love the work. I am finishing a 1931 Model A 4DR Phaeton. Not original but partially. I have several question because there just some parts not available. How could I ask you some questions. Thanks. Love the videos.

filmed it in 4K, edited it in 1280P, but it got loaded up at 360. In the 2 years I have not edited, I must have missed a setting.
Happy New Year.I must have been un-subscribed by YT as I see that I'm not,for the moment.

I have been waiting and watching from New Zealand. 🤣
Thanks for watching
