    I’m almost 71. I’ve seen and owned my share of cars. I was given a 1961 Bonneville when I was 15. They were just old cars back then. THIS car is on another level. Rolling art that performs like nothing else. I don’t even have the words but, I feel privileged to have seen this vid.Well done to all involved. Nothing left on this earth to see now.

      I agree , my first car was a 68 Chevelle , but the 60s Impalas are in a class of their own , beautiful lines , art work in motion & used for many platforms , unlike alot of cars today , lowriders , restmod , hotrods , or simply stock , gotta love it 💯💯💯💯

    Just love the '61-'62 GM "bubble tops". The stance and wheels aren't my cup-o-tea but then it's not my car. In another life I'd love to do a '61 Pontiac Ventura bubble top. A beautiful car. The paint and interior colors are spectacular! What he said about "spare parts" makes sense as there are no '62 Pontiac bubble tops.

    Shaun, I don't know if you caught that look from Daniel at about 16:08 "...you don't drive like an asshole..." That was funny!
    I've been one of your subscribers for several years and I think this is one of the top 3 or 4 cars you've reviewed. It is just beautiful! Daniel did an excellent job on this Bubble Top Chevy!! My only concern would have to be driving on those 25-Series sidewalls. I live about an hour north of San Francisco and the roads up here in Sonoma County have cost me two rims and tires on a set of 45-sidewalls. The pot holes just kill low profile tires and 25s wouldn't make it across town. If you just go cruisin' occasionally maybe you have to "preview" a route that won't eat your rims & tires. 👍
