    Hey Brent, I know you really don't like shine, but this car would really look good painted it's orignal colors, just my opinion.😊

    • @pjbarnes9524
      @pjbarnes9524 Před 10 měsíci +5

      Yes, all of those chrome parts would look good if it was shiny black.

      @glennnickerson8438 Před 10 měsíci +1

      I thought so too a few videos back. It was a great color combo.

      Hey Brent! A lot of hard work there my friend but I think it is worth it. It looks great. Put it away for awhile come back to it when the new shop is done. Great work!!!😀😀

    Put her on the shelf for a bit. All will be well once the new shop gets up & running!
    Thanks for bringing us along for the 54 build, it will be awesome when you get her finished!!

    Sorry Brent, if I wasn't a fixed income retiree from the United States of Inflation I would sent you a set of tap holder sockets. You need some, man! Love the channel and good luck to you and yours.

    Sorry about the head gasket, that sure would mess with my attitude on having a burn out. BUT the 54 did a great burn out at end of video.. Great how you give us lessons on life. Many thanks as Charlie Brown would say. You are a Great Man

    It’s looking great, wheel change really worthwhile. All the fuss about replacing the windscreen it only took 2.5 minutes! Ha ha ha. Great progress tonight 👍

  • @briankinnear7461
    @briankinnear7461 Před 10 měsíci

    The patina looks great on this car. It starts, it runs. it moves, it stops. That's a working car to me. It's a tire roaster. The finishing touches can come later. Look forward to more on this one later. Be safe and stay well.

  • @alanpaulick7815
    @alanpaulick7815 Před 10 měsíci

    Brent the headlight and windshield is finally in awesome. She sounds great hey. Thanks again for taking us along with your daily routine. Take care.

  • @pjbarnes9524
    @pjbarnes9524 Před 10 měsíci +13

    No, don't leave it without leaving a to do list on the seat or dashboard. You know you'll forget what you've done and what you need to do and parts you still need to finish the build. Order the parts now and then put them in the car whenever they come in.

  • @jasonseal2692
    @jasonseal2692 Před 10 měsíci

    Awesome, another classic “returned” to service. That one is going to be a beast.

  • @MrGixxer1300r
    @MrGixxer1300r Před 10 měsíci

    i remember when this car was going to be a field racer (before the shop burnt) and it was going to be a throw together. I'm glad you changed directions with this bild as this car is turning out to nice to be a field racer. Awesome work and content Brent!!! Keep up the great builds.

  • @jeffwilson3865

    Ha,ha! Don’t let a bad head gasket stop you from doing a burnout! 😂 Guess you need a little break from the car and get working on the new shop. Looking forward to see it take form. All the best Brent! Love your channel!❤👍🛞🔧🛠️🎲🎱🗜️♠️🎰🤟
