Pontiac wished they had designed this beautiful coupe. This fella is not precious about anything. He just jumps in and gets it done.
How can anyone so talented be so humble? You have an amazing work ethic and deserve any success that comes your way.
you're super bro
That is how he keeps making amazing creations. I like how he addresses new challenges. Something that keeps you humble. It’s bigger than you and you address it each time you come across a challenge. To compare him to Pennys and Bad Chad, is his personality is comes out as a calm man with a rogue attitude that is highly creative & most of all Not arrogant .
That's the first thing I want to do with my car is driving through the mud
What the hell is the matter with you why you got to run your brand new car
Yes...
It was a joy watching you do this car, as a collision shop and restoration shop owner for well over 40 years you abilities do fabricate pretty much anything on the fly is really impressive ! I enjoy just how you’re able to draw the line in all your builds to where your doing it for yourself. I am grateful and appreciate you sharing these builds with all of us. Thanks !!
you from canada?
Beautiful lines.. The best I've ever seen. Probably sold by now.
Wow! Transformed an old relic to a very classy classic! Great talent in chopping and metal work involved to make it all flow together! Very impressed!
This is simply amazing. the guy is pure talent but most importantly, modest. hats off to you.
The guy who brought this car back to life is a genius. Amazing !
Thank you, Brent. The "Driving the Pontiac Coupe" sequence [starts at 1:00:01] is a masterpiece.
I have not seen that coupe in 47yrs. I even got my drivers liscence in it! I hit a pole in the winter of 1970. My father took the car on a trade for me on a 1961 MGA twin cam. I screwed that one up, as youtes do. A little history, the original owner went off to Normandy, and neve came back. The parents covered the car and I bought it in that condition. When I let it go, I had completly refinished it to stock..I love what you have done to her. I had good memories from her, and I hope you do also. She deserves to be renewed. I love what you have done to her. Good luck.
It's crazy to watch all those episodes mashed together. You worked so hard on this car and it turned out beautiful. Hard to realize all the work you did. It was one of my favorites of your builds to watch. Enjoy it, hard work has payed off!
Man..... this might be the most incredible restoration i've ever watched....... the transformation of a complete junker to a priceless antique........ this is a moment of RESPECT!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮👍❤️
I pressed like once when I saw this guy's welding, then I wanted to smash like again when it came to the final result, but realized I had already pressed the like button before.
Then I been watching from then. One of my favorite channels!
Absolute genius who knows his stuff. Love the no nonsense presentation and explanations. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Joe
Nope . Just an ordinary guy doing his best .
Pleasing to watch a great job.
You've reconstructed and rejuvenated the legendary 1938 Pontiac. I've spent 1 hour for this beautiful car and I did really appreciated your hard work from Thailand. Cheers !!!
I don’t care what anyone says, but you are a bloody genius. That was bloody awesome mate. Congratulations on a job well done. Cheers. 🇮🇳🥳👏🤩👍
I'm glad you started your CZcams channel. I love the metal work you do as a sheet metal worker myself I enjoy seeing you proceed through the builds and come up with such awesome finished vehicles. Looking forward to the next one.
One of the coolest channels on youtube . Keep them coming . Being disabled the ole cars and trucks being brought back helps me thru my day .
Thanks for checking it out Bobby!
Right there with you Bobby, best to you man
Looking at all the old iron you have. A good trick to preserve it is, squirt drain oil in the bottom of all the panels, doors, hood, and trunks etc. Let it drip out its dirty for awhile but here in Minnesota I've drove my 2004 Toyota for 300.000 miles no rust!
Yeah it is a differant ......comic book like but REAL hmmmm. .... or pulling up to white washed mansion... ritzzze party .champagne. etc.
It's beautiful. To pull something from that era and re-imagine the vehicle like you did is just amazing. I hope it brings attention to your enterprise.
Been doing builds for some years now. Right now, I'm working on 4 BMW CSis from the 70s. Full of rust like lace curtains. Lots of panel work to do. Love watching a craftsman at work. Picked up some great ideas from this vid too. Well done!
Wow, I just spent three years of my life restoring a 1966 Ford F100 and this gentleman makes it look way too easy. Definitely showing his talents in many different areas of the restoration. Nice work!
Gangster car! Awesome!! Glad we got to see it this way, start to finish...LOTS OF WORK!! Enjoy it....
This is my second time watching this video. It's like your truck with two rows of seats. It is not a transformation but a metamorphosis. You are an artist.
I think this is my favorite build of yours so far. Very cool custom. That chop was a lot of work!
I was just strolling through till I seen this ol Pontiac, I got a soft spot for them ol classic cars, like how u modified it, just absolute beautiful, awesome vid👍
You give a utube creator greater meaning.👍 Thanks for taking us along.👊😎
What a multi talented guy who persevered through so many difficult situations. Amazing!
I love the lines on her. You have a great combo there. She's a beautiful car that you wouldn't be afraid to drive for a daily. Your talent and confidence to do it all is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
you do great work sir!!! You're a dying breed of excellent metal work and for that you have my respects!
Brings back memories Great to see from start to finish.
What a "💓GOD-GIVEN💓" Fascination (Talent) for a Man to be INDUSTRIOUS and ABLE to Build things from the Ground Up!
(With NO Procrastination or Laziness! to Get Things Done!) 👍😊👍
Had no idea that this project was the beginning of your CZcams experience!!! You do the videos so effortlessly, it’s like you are a natural at anything that you attempt!!
So YOU'RE the one responsible for all those crop circles! Here we were blaming those poor aliens the whole time!
Seriously - she's a work of art, my friend. Beautiful job.
Ya this build was my introduction to your channel. You are, as far as I'm concerned, the master of the subtle chop. You don't lose headroom and make things more aerodynamic. Love the Dodge chop [my current fave] but I love this Poncho with the Torpedo headlights. Fantastic stuff!
Thank you very much for the video of your project. It was a joy watching you do all of your work.
How does anybody get to this point when you can build something so beautiful pretty much from scratch. That is amazing. Great job. Car came out fantastic. You have a great talent. I would consider this an art.
Hi there! Just today I found your channel and man do I love it! I love this build. I like the way you make your videos. Very encouraging to see one man accomplish so much great work! Thank you sir! You are an encouragement!
I love your totally relaxed attitude to chopping a car roof! I'm sittin here freakin out, staring at my '50 Studebaker truck. All the "what if" scenerios playin out. And then there is you goin "lets chop this outa there and see what happens"! Oh yeah, this truck is an absolute rust bucket! Hell... 2 inches of one door at the bottom is just gone! There was zero floor when I got it. Anyway ive been inspired by your videos. Keep up the great work!
haha thanks, and your truck sounds neat, although rust sucks at least you can make what you want with it theres nothing there so you can't possibly make it wrong haha
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us fella - marvellous!! Learnt loads of good stuff...
I truly enjoyed watching your work,thanks for sharing it with us.
Impressive! Shows your talents as an "I can do it all" guy. End result is a very cool vintage hot rod. Enjoy it!
what good memories ...I started following your channel just when you installed the camaro front axle on the Pontiac! Nice summary of the various stages of construction!
I am just constantly in awe at the unbelievable skill you have in building these incredible cars. Amazing!
In my opinion, the incredible car ever made in the world. Congratulations on the work/restoration and video. From Rio Brazil.
This is just amazing, and you are incredibly talented!
watched the whole thing , amazed at your welding and fabrication
This car is one of my favorites. Normally, I'm not a fan of "chopped" 30's cars. But the work you did on changing to a 3 window and altering the top line turned the car into what it should have been to begin with. Now, it has sleek lines like some of the greatest of designs of the 30's. Great eye, and great work!
Ya the mfk allow there
I love the fact that, after spending so many sweat equity hours on that thing, that you took it out into a field and did donuts until you tired of it.
Beautiful ride, was fun to watch the build. Thank you!
Great skills Brent Thanks for sharing ! That has the look , awesome journey to get there too!
Sei un ottimo carrozziere restauratore. Vali tanto oro, quanto pesi! Bravo!
Fascination refurbishment. Impressive skills set. Loved your attitude and tenacity to finish. Just a great watch
What a beautiful machine it's a very rare talent that can envision the finished product in its most raw form. For somebody who keeps claiming they don't know what they're doing you do incredible work.
What a great-looking car! Love the music also....
A pleasure to watch and listen to! I like how you alternate between fast time lapse and narrating in real time. The sound track is excellent!
First time visiting your channel. I’m completely blown away with all the fabrication work hrs you put in to bring back a lost gem for another life. Instant Subscriber! Thank you for letting us sit back and watch your labor and talent.
I am left shaking my head...in awe......watching you.... bend, shape, contour.....pure art.......just amazing work.......
Man o man, you’ve got talent for days. God bless you, sir, for sharing with us all.
Fantastic build, mate. I especially loved seeing the doughnuts....er....testing done in the field and watching you at work with fabrication and bodywork. The old girl has come up a treat - She looks graceful and like she'd be a very comfy cruiser. Great stuff!
Love it, man. What a sweet build! Ponchos forever!
Truly an amazing display of workmanship! Just too good.
5 months behind, but that is one of the best builds I've seen yet. Love all your work and how you enjoy the fruits of your labor!
But.. yA.." v not have any involved,but when v see you team works it's done, these parts give a big satisfied for anyone if prosid.. thanks yA

Damn that's a nice ride!! Love to see the face of the dude who bought this new back in the day. Turned his everyday driver into an awesome outlaw.
I really enjoy watching your builds!!! Awesome job sir!!
Brother you have some awesome skills. Your like the car whisper. Love your Channel. Keep up the awesome work and be SAFE up there. 👍👍👍👍👍💯🥇🏆
Nashville, Tennessee
Of course, LOL! Especially where he covers sheets of metal. Not to mention that the original metal that is covered is not protected against rust. He should remove the original sheet metal and replace it with a new one, not overlap the original. Really Awesome. Yeah Right. LOL. That car is gonna have rust problems in few years again.
Man I hope I can build epic things like this when I'm older!
You’re building dreams and are living the dream. Awesome work. Lots of land and classic cars. This screams Americana.
Man, Thanks for sharing your amazing experience. Truly a work of art and a labor of love.
" I'm not a professional at this" This guy has octane running through his veins.
Good morning.. it’s a wonderful thing watching an artist transform a relic into Art Deco. So many skills,talents,and efforts melted into a classic... Thanks for the treat....James
Melded mate
@@gingersherrod11 Great point... wonderful description....James
What an awesome job!! It’s not perfect, but it has tons of charm! I love it ! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking us along for the ride 👍🏼
It’s my first time watching your channel and I have to say, I absolutely love your approach. No complicated long boring details and OCD about the right or wrong way to do something etc. This stitch and patch project was truly satisfying to watch, even the music is enjoyable. And respect to you for doing this alone. Thought you would add a bit of tan to the interior to compliment the tan trimmings on the exterior.I hope you have more content like this, or I’ll be very upset 😓😅. Anyway great job sir. PS... meh, it is what it is 🤣
yA..
The dude gets more done on a Monday night than I get accomplish in a month.
just fast forward your life ! :):)
I can honestly say I have never watched a CZcams vid longer than 5:00 until now. I watched end to end and must say, this build was fantastic.
This one cameback to life beautifuly. You´re an artist.
I Love the Body Style of that Car n the Stents is Perfect n believe it or not I liked the Rough look 😆
Man love how it came out hands down to you make more video with these old rides I'm loving it
Wow? You da man bro. Bodywork, fabricating, painting, welding, upholstery. U did it all. Unbelievable. Congrats and thanks for sharing it with us wannabes.
Hello H A Kustoms, thank you for sharing your unique skill in vehicle restoration. After seeing you ride down the highway in your completed restoration of the 1938 Pontiac, the first word out of my mouth was AWESOME !
Man of so many talents, Thanks for posting.
Love this car
Such a pleasure it was to watch this whole video and to see so many facets of the car's transformation. Loved it.
ive been watching a lot of mechanics getting old rusty machines working again pulling the motors apart getting all the grime out and getting them working again but theres something even more satisfying to see a build from start to finish
This probably my favorite of ur cars, that shape is just Fk'n elegant and hot rod at the same time...
This was a great build. One of my favorites. I like it on air suspension but I can completely understand removing them. Nevertheless this is a great build.
That was one beautiful creation! I am very impressed with that. Thank you for sharing it!
Another cool video! Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
You nailed the proportions! It looks like something the gm design team would have drawn up in 1938.
Is the color original? I would have liked black and yellow.
I wish I had these skills and a shop.I would love to do this kind of work!
Love this build, all done in house, impressive set of skills
Fantastic at home job mate! These are my favourite kind of channels well done on saving another old timer. Best wishes from England.
You build the coolest shit Brent. Best channel on youtube.
I lo ve the crop circles at the end. Great looking Pontiac!
First time watcher here. Very impressed that you see what you wanna do and get it done. Your vision and not someone else’s. Not a common build but I like it a lot. Like the fact you do everything yourself. Keep it up and keep the cars coming. Definitely a subscriber now.
Wow! Right on man! What an awesome build. You really do amazing work!
i watched this from the start love this car
Morning Brent, I started watching your channel when you were installing the front subframe, I subscribed then, no regrets, I truly enjoy watching your fabrication skills, there is a couple other channels I subscribe to, Matt over at Iron Trap, Derek at Visegrip, the enthusiasm you guy's have is amazing, at 62 I still hammer away out in the shop, just not the stamina you guys have. I've learned alot from ya'll, please keep these great energetic video's coming!! Oh, the Pontiac looks great!!!
Thanks man!
