Jethro Bronner uploaded? The day just got better.
Can we just appreciate the quality that he puts into making this video?
Pace, editing, narration, cinematography.. everything so soothing
I like the quality of the video and seamless information presented. However, the music piano was too loud at the beginning and distracting from his voice and muffled what Jethro was saying. Music ruins these types of videos. It is not needed. Once the music stopped I could hear what he was saying clearly and enjoyed it from that point on.
@@brianpercival1829 I have to say I see it completely opposite. I rather like the music in the early scenes. I also had no issues with understanding the narration with the music in the background.
@@brianpercival1829 I didn’t suffer from the issue with the audio mix you refer to, maybe something to do with the device you were watching on?

Me neither. Very nice intro. Very classy. As the car he's working on. Much better looking than his -tough much applauded - daily driver.
This one represent Italian Design at it's best. Can't wait to see it complete !
I'm always left thinking that Jethro is the Omega Man of South Africa.
It's humbling to see how good he is. He's half my age and twice as talented
That's the magic of editing, I'm still learning everyday.
Fantastic work mate. Heat shrinking can definitely be infuriating so moving on to something else is always a great idea. Looking forward to this build coming together.
Thanks 👍 Yeah plus I'm so new to that kind of work, and a lot of it is quite counter intuitive.
@@JethroBronner I have spent a lot of my time chasing my tail the exact way you were. Less is more when it comes to shrinking in my experience.
Jethro .....good to see you back on the channel. Just so you know, we're with you with every stroke of the hammer, the squeeze of the drill trigger etc.... You and I know there's a love for this car that requires extraordinary give and takes....At the end of the day your heart and soul will be manifested in a beautiful Alfa.... Stay strong...
lots of passion here, my classic daily driver had bad floor pans, aftermarket sound deadener was just a sponge for water, i ended up removing said deadener, grinding whatever i could and then coating it with rustoleum rust reformer, most holes were pin holes and the biggest was the size of a large coin. im no welder nor do i have access to one so after the rust reformer i put down some aluminium butyl tape to cover the holes before more rust reformer over the top. Not the best solution but should last another 10-20 years before i need to worry about doing some welding. I hope one day to have that skill and knowledge.
It's the honesty of the content in these uploads make them well worth watching. No quick edited highlights showing everything finished in double quick time - that don't happen with old cars, we who do it, know it - and Jethro knows it too and shows the reality of a car build. Tiny steps, the ups and the downs. Another quality video from Mr Bronner.
I have 40 years in the resto trade and you are doing good work for someone that isn’t a body guy. When your shrinking you need someone to hand the torch to so you can get the hammering and cooling done quick. Set up is key so it is quick but not rushed. You should get a slapper for working the hot spot too. Much better then a hammer. Keep up the good work mate.
The super wide-angle fisheye view of the interior @ 5:00 is genius and goes perfectly with your narrative. 👍
Damn that shot with the 360 camera was awesome! Top tier RUclips production value!
Love the video! What I'm even more impressed than your mechanical skills is that you're able to keep your clothes so clean doing all this work!
Awesome Jethro!
If there's any car worth restoring, it's the Epic 105!
That beautiful body... Just never ceases to amaze me. What a shape!
I know the lines so well, having worked on them as a youngster.
Keep up the great work, and stay safe and strong! 💪👍
Just picked up a 98% un-molested, rust-free(so it "appears") 1974 115! So a new owner, fresh into the Alfa world and totally stoked! Great videos, I'm learning tons. Thanks and what a great car. Smitten.
Jethro, I began watching your videos as I was interested in a 1969 1750 Berlina here in Australia. I have now bought the car and it is just beginning its journey from Queensland to me in NSW. I’ll do a video of it once it’s in my garage. Keep up the great work mate.
I'm the 100th "Like". You and a new Soup Classic Motoring video in one day. Woohoo! Thanks Jethro!
For sure, this and SOUP are two of the best!
I love Soup, such a great channel. His editing skill is unbelievable.
I have a 1970’s Ford Escort with a similar number of small (possibly hail damage) dents, I hired a guy from ‘dent-master’; he took half a day worked without a break using his special tools and he popped all the dents out, no heat, no suction cups or glue pads, just a series of long ‘spoons’ with a fulcrum pivot braced against the nearest support.
Roof looks good as new now, and his 4/5hrs call out charge was less than €250.
makes me miss my 1750 GTV more
ohhh some sheetmetal work, love it!!
These videos are so relaxing and wholesome to watch. Top notch restoration job Jethro!
Another masterpiece, also nice to see Porco in the background
Love your collection bud! I am a South African living in the USA but have a restored '71 GTV at my property in Hartenbos.
Great to see you back on youtube. The skill and patience you have never ceases to amaze me! I agree with you that Ocra is a seriously cool shade for the GTV.
Agreed I subscribed early on I just love his enthusiasm and honesty.
Good to see you here my friend!
@@JethroBronner I have not forgot the alfa glass sign I'm going to make for your workshop.
It's a thank you for your highly quality videos. Plus a splash of light and colour. Virus situation has held things up.
Roadsterlife and Jethro fantastic channels
I may even do a video or two showing progress. Finishing up projects before I start
looking forward to this build, my favourite car
The correct name for the piece you cut out is a roof bow, structure which supports the roof skin and the screens are front and rear header rails. Connenction between roof and roof bow should be adhesive, but obviously welded to the B pillars.
I hope you’re staying safe given recent events.
The fisheye camerawork is awesome. As is your craftsmanship on cars. Wish you did more frequent videos 👌
I'm going to give it a go! Going to aim at 1 per week
I watch US resto shows and watchedem all, so nice to see this ! 💪👍
You do some brilliant work! Hat's off to you, sir!
Thank you! Cheers!
it looks so good in silver colour , like black and white photograph.
Back in the day we called that color baby s**t brown.
I learned rust repair on my first car, purchased in 1967, a 1964 registered 101 Series Alfa Sprint 1600 Normale. The first of many Alfas to follow until I had had enough in the 1990s, a man should know his limits. Now I daily drive a 2016 Mazda MX-5/Miata and am, with 71,000 trouble free miles on it, very happy. Cars have come a long way but I won't be making the transition to electric cars, I like engines and shifting gears too much.
But the GTVs are beautiful cars, if I had the means I would have another one, they just look so right.
You rarely call-in experts but surely you must be consulting some, now and then? Beautiful craftmanship Jethro. Keep rocking.
I do regret not calling in an expert on those roof dents, but experts are few and far between in SA.
Been waiting for you, and you deliver. You're skill set is ever improving. Keep on, keeping on Jethro!
Thanks, will do!
I agree, giallo ocra is a fantastic color
If making another run at the roof and using heat, torch, try adding an ice soaked rag or a keyboard duster can turned upside down has a nice cooling affect to shrink and reduce the tin canning.
I'll combine that with a shrinking disc and see how it goes.
Ciao Jethro, your videos are awesome! All you need for a relaxing evening are your videos and a glass of delicious wine. But unfortunately I have something to complain about.. Please do not use gloves while working on the drill. The machine does not stop and this can cause very serious accidents. But you still do a great job! Safety first.
I will keep that in mind, thank you
An update 😮 Thought this would go to the corner 😂
Great update, looking forward to seeing this car come together, you’re spot on about the details, when I had mine restored there’s so much more that could have been done on the metal, I look at it now and I’m very critical, yet many people don’t see what I see. Restoring old cars to a good standard is hugely time consuming, but it is time well spent. 👍🏻
motorbike glanced off my front fender, bending the flat wheel arch facia cleanly in at about 45 deg.
So the other day I get a shifter and a soft cloth and try levering it out - ruined the line and made it worse
Yes Yes Yes! So great to see a fellow South African working with their hands! Looking great!
Absolutely love the original colour! Please restore to original finish. I agree, the black leather will look so good against it.
Great to see you doing this. I sold my 2000 GTV before it was finished. Not a good decision. Keep it up and this will be one stunning car.
Outstanding, beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
I think 20 - 30 minute videos are great. Thanks for the great content.
Good to know! Thank you!
As a wise man once said "If your not great at welding, make sure your good at grinding" 👌
Ain't that the truth...
Keep up the good work Jethro! I’m nervous as well doing body repairs but I can’t afford to send it out so I will be in your shoes this fall.
Yeah, when you do it yourself you can see why good body shops charge so much.
It is a true craft when metal working. She is coming along splendidly. I don't mind the 20min videos so you do what you need to.
Impressive craftsmanship and patience! I can confirm that aligning the front and rear bumpers to be inline with the bodylines and bodytrim makes an incredible visible impact, and it is well worth the extra effort.
Yeah it's something that really stands out when it's right.
always was a good-looking car, and it still is.
always happy to see another video from you
More to come!
Great fish eye shot! I love the filming style equally as the build and naration!
It IS the little things that make it come together... thanks for sharing the complete story.
Welcome back. You have been sorely missed. The video quality is absolutely over the top. THANKS, Mr. Bronner.
Can´t wait to see more videos.
I am so glad I can do all this work vicariously. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
@@JethroBronner I'm a reporter for the Wall Street Journal in the USA. I just sent you an email. Many thanks.
Thanks for the video mate.
By the way , looks like you’re using to much pressure on the spray painter.
Check out the videos of the Australian car painter “ The Gunman “
Lots of good tips from this guy when spray painting a car.
Cheers !
I will check it out, thanks! I think I saw some of his videos a few years back.
I might be a bit late but a shrinking disk on an angle grinder will sort that roof in no time. Even I managed to use it.
Great work I don’t know how you get so much done.
Presentation top quality very talented young man knowledge is excellent. Yes a very beautiful car .😎
Excellent work!!!
Perfect👍👍
Made my day Jethro! Lovely to see, both the work in the movie as well as your work on the video. Keep them coming!
There are times when employing the good ol' eye-ometer is the best approach. Looks like you nailed it, Jethro.
no video is too long Jethro. I even waited for the ads to finish. you keep our Alfa spirit alive 😍
I love the use of washing-up gloves for painting!
You’re back !
Awesome stuff mate, keep at it! Just one suggestion: reconsider the moments you are wearing your gloves, they can be pretty dangerous when operating the cutting disc or the drill. Unfortunately witnessed a friend of mine basically destroy his finger as his glove got caught in a drill...
loved that insta360 one x2 shots from inside the chassis, smart integration!
really cool project!
I just bought a giulietta quadrifoglio so Im a part of the alfa clan now XD
Welcome aboard!
So good to see a new video!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Very Nice work!
Great work, Jethro. Suggest using a non shrinking seam sealer in the bonnet, never over bare metal. Silicone has a tendency to rot sheet metal. Suggest a 2 part sound deadener material, such as Sem 39977. This will stop flapping, and keep moisture out. Do Not use foam- it will cause waves in your metalwork.
Cheers
Nice work. You're brave for taking this on! Cheers.
Hi Jethro from Sydney Australia. Silicone inside the bonnet.... maybe sikaflex should have been used as a bonding agent (or something like it) instead. It does get hot when it goes off, so problems can arise there.... but the joins/seams will never accept paint as there's silicone there now. Unless perhaps a thin wipe of seam sealer can cover up the silicone? Not sure. Anyway, good work mate, it's starting to come together. Cheers !
Yeah I'm going to have to re-visit this hood, such an amateur mistake...
19:25 - do NOT use silicone sealants on cars. If they are the incorrect type they can cause corrosion very fast. To places like that I'd use polyurethane based sealant/adhesive.
Yes I realise I've made a mistake, I'll change it out for an acrylic sealant/polyurethane sealant.
Thats one extremely tidy and roomy workshop! But I'm not jealous.... not me... 😉
So nice to see you back buddy let's get cracking on this lovely car
Nice seeing your determination to get it right.
Calm measured progress, it’s what dreams are made of
beautifully edited, and beautiful craftsmanship. bravo
Top work and so glad to get videos from you every time! I must say though I've seen some of what's happening in your country. I pray and hope you are well and okay.
Nice job Jethro, keep them coming and great to see progress on the GTV. Every project is a journey in its own right and every Alfa owner knows it! I started converting my doors 6 months ago and still not finished!
great job
Amazing to see another video from you mate, big fan👍
Excellent work! Just keep ticking the jobs off the list and you'll get there. Keep the updates coming!
Great work, it takes you time, but that the way to learn. Getting experienced is not free I guess. Regards from Uruguay !
Just brilliant craftsmanship Jethro - I love the 105 however an Alfa body from this vintage are wonky by now and your patience and attention to detail is inspiring- great progress :) 👍
Awesome work
Thank you! Cheers!
I do love that year alfa 🥰
It’s definitely one of the best colors! Nice to see an update on the GTV.
Crazy cars. I’ve had a few.
Love what you do!
Great to see you back!!
This video ended too soon! Really loving the care you put on this vehicles
And magically, the old paint is gone.
The magic of editing!
@21:00 perhaps if you just make a plus size tire on the left side that’ll help you get a better curb appeal so you don’t have to do so much bodywork
Glad youtube actually showed my your new upload. Keep it up.
Thank You for the video! Always nice to see an Alfa being brought back to life 🙂. Beautiful car, even in bare metal and on a rotisserie 👍
Absolutely love your videos my friend. Keep it way way up please! Bring these amazing machines back to life!
Great to see another video. Good work!
for the love of God jethro put on eye protection when grinding
the glasses dont protect you
dont ask me how i know
Same here. I have the scar to prove it as well.
Do you have a shrinking hammer? No, not a hammer that gets smaller, but a bodywork hammer with a special face on it that helps "shrink" high spots or stretched areas back down. May be worth a look if you don't.
Jethro amazing work. That garage is cleaner than mine.
