    l was bored it's snowing outside so l turned on RUclips and stumbled on this I'm an old gear head from the 60s did some 49 Fords and Mercury's had a 51 Ford with a Caddy V8 engine, never bought many parts if something was needed l had friends that worked in junkyards or find an abandoned car in the woods, you did a great job you had me for 1:10 and the music was also great, l will be subscribing as soon as l stop typing, keep up the good work your not just a parts changer like on regular TV your the real thing. :)

    Your workmanship is amazing. The Ez that you seem to chop these cars up is truly an art & so cool to be part of via your videos. Would love to see you chop the roof & chop the body a few inches on one of your builds I've always wanted to see that done in a way that's understandable. Other people have done it obs but none of them show their working & mistakes just a thought either way keep them videos coming look forward to watching all you do. Cheers

      Walter P Chrysler wouldn't sell a car a man 'couldn't wear his hat in'.. That's why my 51 Dodge looks like a birdcage. After he left (or passed away) the cars got a LOT lower..

    • @michaelbenardo5695
      @michaelbenardo5695 3 года назад +1

      K.T. Keller, the president of Chrysler at the time, favored high roof lines so that your hat wouldn't be knocked off when you were getting in and out of the car.

    This. This is what your videos need. The mechanicals? They are fun but predictable. But this chop. That's pure art my friend and you are an artisan. There are dozens of channels out there doing first starts and engine swaps. You keep the transformations coming. It's pure magic and you make it look so easy. I wait and watch for the next fabrication video. You are an artisan.

    That top Chop transformed the car into a long and low cruiser, amazing effort Damn you have have a good eye for that. I owned a 47 Chevy Coupe would have loved to chop that and get the Olds V8 fixed. I build the engine but it blew and my Dad was so mad he made me stop cars. I caught up later after i left home. Thanks for posting. I will search your archives for any old coupes. Great Result, Dennis
