I lost my poor young daughter to breast cancer a few weeks ago. 😢 Seeing Jays latest restoration blog listed gave me my first little smile since. 😊 It’s a start… Thanks Jay.
It doesn't matter what Jay did for a living. Getting to know him through his garage (cars and bikes) has been wonderful. We can appreciate what he shares with us because we all have had or do have garages. And all his workes need to be recognized for their relationship with him and their work.
His guys are a crucial component and for years, Jay has always been awesome about featuring them and their work. Bernard is a favorite of mine, I think that dude could build just about anything.
One thing you gotta remember with everything Jay does: this guy is 73 years old! And despite two severe accidents in the last months he doesn't slow down. He's just an awesome dude... 😎😎🤘🤘
Jay was certainly very fortunate in his recovery from his accidents, though Jay was still recovering in his previous restoration blog. But is nice to see Jay still gets around to showcasing the world on RUclips the numerous projects he has in the works.
Saving these cars is expensive. Jay, my hat is off to you for being willing to pay for all these amazing pieces of history to be restored and working. Future gnerations will be greatly indebted to you for not only restoring these machines right now but documenting them and making it so they can keep them running when you are gone. I salute you!
I highly doubt that@@jone8626 His collection could become a museum in itself or he will likely gift vehicles to collections such as the Petersen Automotive Museum or Nethercutt Collection depending on their make or speciality. His wife and mechanical team fully understand his passion and wishes. Imagine the Petersen having a Jay Leno wing, it would be a huge attraction. In the meantime let's hope he has a long and healthy life and stops crashing into chains or setting himself on fire!
@@jone8626 Maybe. Then again, Jay may have made arrangements on what to do with them. Look at the Nethercutt Collection. He is gone but the collection lives on and still maintains the cars.
work ethic comes from high paying wages and good bosses / work environment. Go to any chain place and mechanics have to buy and use their own tools while getting paid sub 20/hr wages. there is no work ethic when making less than 30/hr. not possible.
Your crew is a bunch of dedicated , brilliant nice guys. They know how much you appreciate them by the way they interact with you.Just hoping there will be people years from now that can carry on the tradition.
I love these restoration blog episodes. Seeing the process, learning all the histories of these wonderful machines, is so satisfying. I love that Jay makes sure these vehicles actually run and drive, and aren't just mothballed in some warehouse. Thanks for sharing these stories with all of us.
I would love to tour his garage and just listen to him telling stories about his cars for hours. He's probably forgotten more about automotive history than most people even know.
Absolute hero all around. It really seems like Jay is one of the few celebrities who made it big but didn't let it get to his head. He seems like a guy who could've spent his life working at a garage or plumbing and he'd have the same personality and love for life!
Including the bad info he perpetuates, like with the Syclone or the WS6 package on the Firebirds? People listen to this clown and take his word as educated gospel. As a result, there are thousands of people in the F-body groups on social media that swear WS6 stands for 'Wide suspension 6 pieces," when it does not actually stand for anything, just because he said so. Yeah, thanks for that, Jay.
Jay I am glad that you have the drive, intelligence and the money to bring these cars back to life for car lovers of the future. You are an amazing human. Thanks..
Jay's Restoration Blogs are my favorite segments of his channel! It's like taking a walk through the working parts of his kingdom, seeing the artisans building and repairing all of the esoteric machines that make the Big Dog Garage such a magical place.
Fortunately for all of us Jay Leno shares his collection and knowledge with all of us. I have a Noble Steam Car hub cap and was impressed with seeing jay's Doble.
Sitting back with one of Mr. Leno's Restoration Blogs. Such a class act, and true car guy. I had the pleasure of taking in his act at a great comedy club while visiting my brother in LA. What a wonderful way to start a fine Labor Day. 😁
"This was during a confused time of my life, when I was still trying to figure out who I was." Very funny. The knowledge Jay and his team possess is remarkable. I always look forward to the Restoration Blog episodes. Thank you, Jay.
Jay, you are so funny, smart and you have an amazing memory! I’m so glad you’re healing up so well from your “adventures gone a bit south”. Thank you for all you do in front of the camera and behind the scenes. 👏🏼💕
My grandmother wrecked my grandfather's Stanley Steamer in the 20's or so, when her sleeve caught the throttle. It end up half way up a tree, the Steamer not her sleeve (actually both now that I think about it). She said, one of the reasons she married him was because he was so gracious about the wreck she knew he had to be a good guy.
It’s amazing that there’s still mechanical craftsmanship capable of working on such esoteric cars and that Jay is able find and to hire such talented workers.
I really appreciate that Jay is keeping the history alive for the future generations. It really doesn't matter how you feel about the good old internal combustion engine. The fact that it is a huge part of our national history and helped making our country strong and great needs to be remembered. To have a man so dedicated to preserving that history and sharing his journey is truly a gift to us all. Keep up the great work Jay. I love your channel.
i love these videos that jay does from time to time. he describes the defects and the design details as best he can. when he cant describe something to us he gets the machinist the fabricators and mechanics involved in the videos. jay is such a car guy and his videos are some of the best on you tube. THANKS JAY.
Your retort to the nattering nabobs is phenomenal. My wife and I saw your performance in Vegas a few years ago and we laughed until we cried. I've been a fan of JLG since its early years. I'm collector and restorer of cars from the '30s and your show has been an inspiration. Stay genuine, and long live denim button downs.
I appreciate Jay bringing in the "content experts" into the show to explain the restoration and also give credit where credit is due. One of the things I like about how Jay goes about his business.
Oh my gosh we actually get a glimpse of Jay's denim collection!! 🤣🤣I love it! I think I still have a denim shirt buried in my closet from the 90s, what time. Great video!!
Mr. Leno, I love your channel. I am the first to admit I am not a car guy at all, I know very little about them. I am, however, a huge history buff, I enjoy the history of anything, and your garage is iconic. Thank you for always sharing and teaching me.
Jay, thanks so much for preserving so much of our automotive heritage. And for letting all of us look over your shoulder and watch you have too much fun driving them. Kudos to your super talented staff of craftsmen.
That is *ALOT* of denim!!! LOL. Awesome episode Jay. The guys you have working for you are top notch. What a great work environment that must be for everyone. It's amazing what went in to designing and building those classic vehicles.
Loved this video, really gives you a great appreciate how amazing those steam car designers were, imagine taking them into the modern world with CAD and CNC machines they would go crazy with what they could do.
I really like Jay's "ordinary" videos, but NOTHING comes close to the "Restoration Blogs"... They are imho simply next level. Both when it comes to the cars we get to see, but even more important is that we get to see the and hear from the "artisans" who work on them... I love it !! Best regards.
I worked in the elevator industry for 42 years. During that time, I realized, you don’t have to be as smart as the guy that designed it originally. You do have to figure out why they did what they did. I love seeing all the people, Jay puts together. Their willingness to work on anything that’s thrown at them, reminds me of when we would arrive at a job. Ask for the electrical prints, and one time a sweet lady said to me “Anyone can fix it with instructions!” LOL
I generally like the episodes the most in which Jay is alone but I really appreciate to hear George talking about all these restorations - after all he gets his hands dirty and is responsible for all the quality work in the shop. Jimmy is also nice see with the metalwork. Must be super to work with these men.
Working for Mr. Leno would be, first a dream job. Second, you would never run out of work. His collection is off the charts. And when it seems that a car is finished, it's time to redo something on it, engine, Bodywork, a refresh of restoration. It's almost like the maintenance guys that paint the Mackinaw bridge here in Michigan. It takes a whole year to put a coat of paint on it, and when they finally finished, it's time to start over.
I first got introduced to Jay in 1987 when I landed in Chicago as a foreign student. It has been 36 years since. Though I returned back home after graduation I always watched Jay’s shows whenever I could. I have complete respect for Jay as a model human.
When I see a new Restoration Blog has been uploaded its a stop what you are doing and watch kind of moment. I don't know ton about cars, but I get to learn so much cool history it really makes me appreciate what he is doing. The steam cars are a work of art. I hope we can see a few more of them turned on from cold to hot and running down the road.
I feel like we missed out on so many good years of car shows while Jay wasted his time on that silly talk show. 😉 Seriously, Jay really brings the spirit and significance of each car alive by sharing interesting quirks that you would not hear on any other car show. Thanks for sharing your collection and knowledge with us Jay!
Can’t have one without the other. And truthfully before the internet their was no way to make a show like this. It would have been too niche. Now it’s still niche but internet production is cheap enough that the niche is large enough to support it.
I am enjoying every second of JLG, cause I know how fast it can go till something happens and it is no more, for whatever reason that might be. So far thanks for the 14 years of JLG I've known about, since I saw Jay on the proper Top Gear show in a reasonbly priced car.
Jay- you and your crew are genius. How about coming up with a hydrogen engine, and take us all for a ride into the future, at the same time as you are restoring the world’s automotive past. Also, with your journeyman experts, when are you going to start mentoring the next generation of experts ?? Love all you do !!
I like it when Jay adds a little humor to his Garage videos. And I have loved his Jay Leno's Garage videos for many years. I am 75 years old and I hope he never stops making them. Stay well Jay we love you.
Jay has the Brains to complete what the ( experts ) do . He pays others to do what he is capable of doing himself . Doesn’t hurt to have an Amazing memory to remember all the details . Smartest thing they did was replace Johnny Carson with Jay Leno . Unlike these modern Basket Cases that have Talk Shows , Leno was always 100% unbiased on his Show . No body knows if he is a Constitutionalist or a Radical Liberal ? Glad he kept it that way … None of anybody’s business who he supports 😊 ❤❤
THANKYOU Mr.Leno for your restoration blog i truely enjoyed the update of what you are working on and i also hope you are enjoying your new DEMON 170 - Thankyou also for your detailing products i have been using them for many years now on all of my vehicles and i absolutely love them - You are a very smart man when it comes to all types of vehicles and thats why you have the best of the best working for you - Keep up the great work and please stay safe - I keep up with all your videos and appreciate them all - Thanks again.
I really enjoy all of the JLG videos, but the restoration blog videos are some of my favorites. The water jackets for the fire engine were incredibly cool to see while in process a while back. The fact that this is a WORKING garage as well as a display for Jay's collection is the best part of the garage.
The French Panhard was a great car. The made great cars-- huge, really big-- before WW I. A 1905 Panhard & Lavessor vehicle can be seen at the Owls Head Transportation Museum, in Maine. Gorgeous, De Luxe loking vehicle. Thank you Jay for this fantastic video.
Jay and I are the same age...He grew up on the East coast and I on the West coast. We love exactly the same things when it comes to cars and bikes. I was a boiler tech in the Navy and have had over 50 cars in my life. Love this channel.
What is telling is how Jay gets along with his second family: Shop technicians. You can tell George knows he's lucky and you can tell Jay feels lucky to have George. Shops around America stay in business when relationships with office and shop are sincere and based on mutual appreciation.
Jay always has interesting projects to share. The old iron has more history to tell then a curator at the museum. Jay is a hands on owner, hats off to this man. He owns them, he fixes them and he knows the history behind the technology. Wonderful next installment in the page of automotive history told by the master, Jay Leno!
Your dedication to restoring things like the Doble is insane Jay but that is why we show up at every new episode; to see the impossible take shape. Thank You.
I love that he loves these pieces of history so much he go to extreme lengths to keep them alive and well. When jay passes it will be an absolutely devastating loss to the car community. I really hope that who ever comes after jay cares as much as he does in keeping these vehicles going and preserved.
These restoration videos are fantastic and my favorites. I love the talk about all the cars they are working on. Jay is a true auto legend and I would give anything to meet him and just talk cars.
You guys should take this to the Comedy Club! George is the perfect straight man! Doesn't give up a thing, but throws out a few low key zingers of his own. Love it!!
We should all appreciate Jay's knowledge on all his cars, steam engines and everything in between. There isn't to many guy's like Jay left and that's including his team who make it all happen. I love how Jay and his team keep all those vehicles up and running and are able to restore them.
J Leno you are an inspiration to us all thank you and hope you're doing well you do an amazing job teaching us and fair play to u getting up after your accident glad to see you well
i do skip alot of your new cars you show but i NEVER skip these. i love this type of videos. mostly because they dont just set there and look pretty but because you fix them and drive them.
I always enjoy these restoration blogs. It takes a lot to keep the classics alive. I never wondered able the denim shirts. I figured what he showed was exactly what I expected to see. At least he knows what he's gonna wear every day. If it gets dirty or destroyed, ya got back up.
Good to see Jimmy found a proper garage to use his talents. When working for Boyd Coddington he got things done but always under an impossible time line so Boyd builds all cut corners. Nothing like the high quality Jay puts into every build…
Jay is single-handedly keeping the denim shirt industry alive.
More like keeping anyone else from wearing a denim shirt.

And who knows what he pays them
If they could just keep him away from the steam cars and motorcycles, he might go on forever.
I love these restoration blog episodes. Seeing the process, learning all the histories of these wonderful machines, is so satisfying. I love that Jay makes sure these vehicles actually run and drive, and aren't just mothballed in some warehouse. Thanks for sharing these stories with all of us.
I do love a Jay Leno restoration blog 💚😍
Jay is so positive about everything, even accidents and his own injuries.
I would love to tour his garage and just listen to him telling stories about his cars for hours. He's probably forgotten more about automotive history than most people even know.
Doesn't seem to be forgetting anything, from car facts to all the stories from his own extensive life.
Absolute hero all around. It really seems like Jay is one of the few celebrities who made it big but didn't let it get to his head. He seems like a guy who could've spent his life working at a garage or plumbing and he'd have the same personality and love for life!

I really enjoy all of the JLG videos, but the restoration blog videos are some of my favorites. The water jackets for the fire engine were incredibly cool to see while in process a while back. The fact that this is a WORKING garage as well as a display for Jay's collection is the best part of the garage.
The French Panhard was a great car.
The made great cars-- huge, really big-- before WW I.
A 1905 Panhard & Lavessor vehicle can be seen at the Owls Head Transportation Museum, in Maine.
Gorgeous, De Luxe loking vehicle.
Thank you Jay for this fantastic video.
Jay is a living legend and a national treasure.
Jay and I are the same age...He grew up on the East coast and I on the West coast.
We love exactly the same things when it comes to cars and bikes. I was a boiler tech in
the Navy and have had over 50 cars in my life.
Love this channel.
What is telling is how Jay gets along with his second family: Shop technicians. You can tell George knows he's lucky and you can tell Jay feels lucky to have George. Shops around America stay in business when relationships with office and shop are sincere and based on mutual appreciation.
Jay always has interesting projects to share. The old iron has more history to tell then a curator at the museum. Jay is a hands on owner, hats off to this man. He owns them, he fixes them and he knows the history behind the technology. Wonderful next installment in the page of automotive history told by the master, Jay Leno!
Amazing that Jay finds all of these unique and rare cars. Thanks for showing them.
Love the fashion statement you make ! There's just one thing I like better than a blue denim jacket, that's a black denim jacket!
What a joy it must be to work for Jay in his garage
The restoration bloggers absolutely the best you tube
Thanks for sharing all of this with us Jay. You don’t have to, but we’re all so glad you do.
Thank You Jay for living my dreams of mechanical fun. Best wishes for health and happiness. The crew of wizards are a special creative team.
Were so glad you came through the accidents you had. We need you around, stay safe for all of us.
Your dedication to restoring things like the Doble is insane Jay but that is why we show up at every new episode; to see the impossible take shape.
Thank You.
Heck ya. More resto blogs
Smaller steering wheel for smaller turns. L - for logic. 🤣🤣🤣Jay is awesome!
I love that he loves these pieces of history so much he go to extreme lengths to keep them alive and well. When jay passes it will be an absolutely devastating loss to the car community. I really hope that who ever comes after jay cares as much as he does in keeping these vehicles going and preserved.
These restoration videos are fantastic and my favorites. I love the talk about all the cars they are working on. Jay is a true auto legend and I would give anything to meet him and just talk cars.
The glorious and mighty Doble! Somewhere the spirits of Howard Hughes and Abner Doble are smiling.
You guys should take this to the Comedy Club! George is the perfect straight man! Doesn't give up a thing, but throws out a few low key zingers of his own. Love it!!
We should all appreciate Jay's knowledge on all his cars, steam engines and everything in between. There isn't to many guy's like Jay left and that's including his team who make it all happen. I love how Jay and his team keep all those vehicles up and running and are able to restore them.
First time watching the restoration blog, not disappointed at all. Two thumbs 👍 👍 up. And yes I will be waiting for and watching the video.
Keep em coming Jay! still the best dressed man in show biz and its no competition!
J Leno you are an inspiration to us all thank you and hope you're doing well you do an amazing job teaching us and fair play to u getting up after your accident glad to see you well
The Blog's are the best!
i do skip alot of your new cars you show but i NEVER skip these. i love this type of videos. mostly because they dont just set there and look pretty but because you fix them and drive them.
great and excellent having the craftsmen talk about their work
I always enjoy these restoration blogs. It takes a lot to keep the classics alive. I never wondered able the denim shirts. I figured what he showed was exactly what I expected to see. At least he knows what he's gonna wear every day. If it gets dirty or destroyed, ya got back up.
Restoration blogs are the best!! Keep them coming for years to come.
Good to see Jimmy found a proper garage to use his talents. When working for Boyd Coddington he got things done but always under an impossible time line so Boyd builds all cut corners. Nothing like the high quality Jay puts into every build…
These are some of my favorite
I can't get enough of Jay and his awesome steam stuff. I love watching him drive steam powered vehicles, so interesting.
