Man, that thing is one of the coolest, most beautiful builds I've ever seen. I hope Bruce got plenty of enjoyment out of it before he passed, and I'm very glad his vision got to be brought to life to go on after him. Fantastic car, wow.
put glasses on ! = UGLY .
RIP Bruce. What a beautiful car.
Steve Reynolds who is bruce?
The deceased (not at the time of filming, but a tribute was added toward the end) owner.
That's a shame.
I am glad that he had the opportunity to see his dream come true and be shown to the rest of us via Jay Leno's Garage, RIP Bruce Leven, you created a beautiful car.
Absolutely beautiful car. The owner had great vision to have something so cool made. It is very unfortunate that he didn't get to drive it too much. RIP Bruce.
Pure engineering artistry. Raw and sophisticated feral. Brilliant
RIP Bruce. Legend
What a ridiculously good sounding engine. I'm not a Ford or Shoebox kind of guy... but this is a throwback to what any guy would've loved to build after surviving WWII. Great build by an extremely talented builder.
I said it about 40 times while watching....and I'll say it again....
That's a badass ford coupe!
I Hate to hear Bruce passed away. Its a shame he didn't get to enjoy this fabulous car he had made. RIP Bruce. The car is gorgeous the way it was redesigned and built. Nicely done by Craig at Wicked Fab's.
he did get to enjoy it. the car was done a long time ago. i know it seems like cars get finished and go straight to Leno, but that is not the case
@@supersevenn
Did Jay get to enjoy a ride with Bruce in his car?
@@supersevenn The car had 150 miles on it since the rebuild and before Jay drove it. So, I guess the owner had a little time to enjoy it. So sad he had so little time to drive it though.
I’m assuming, based on that incredibly beautiful gear shift assembly, the Tremec 5-speed has been modified to support sequential shifting. Does anyone know if that is true?
@@supersevenn it only had 100 miles since completion...
Obviously every car Jay features in an episode is special but this one is defiantly towards the top of the list. What a sound.
R.I.P. Bruce. It's been a long time since I watched Bayside Racing take on all comers and when I came across your obit a couple of weeks ago it brought back a lot of memories. Then to come across this in Leno's Garage. A car guy through and through you were.
Saw this in HotRod. Delighted to see it here. Rest in peace Bruce... your vision for this car was epic.
Something about the "Good Year" lettering on the tires just brings everything together so perfectly
R.I.P old fella and know that your vision... GT51 and Wicked Fabrications incredible work has truly spawned a masterpiece that any car guy would be humbled to own....
What a shame that Bruce passed away. Thank you for having the idea to build such a cool car. I hope that you got to enjoy driving your build before you passed.
Amazed to see the kind of knowledge you guys have ...My respect
Great video that took a really dark turn at the end. At least Bruce got to have a dream, got to stay hungry from he was 12-22 (1950s) and eventually realized his dream and saw it built. Too bad he never got to enjoy the final product much, but then again, he never got to get bored of it either.
That engine and the sound. It's an amazing eargasm.
I love this car! Perfect engine choice and just tastefully modified all the way around. What a great build!
Same thing I thought of when this car was on the road. That car in Cobra was mean as hell.
RamblinAround- I know right?! And that exhaust note- I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like it.. . Intoxicating
I agree Jeff
i read it has over 1 million dollars invested in this build
@@urdaddywingnut7820 gotta love the ford Y block exhaust note.
What an amazing vehicle. The Lincoln emblem over the exhaust outlet is the icing on the cake. My condolences for the loss of an amazing dreamer.
1960's cruising Revere Beach in a 51 Ford Coupe at $.15 a gallon. Great memories
So nice to see something different and interesting. I have never understood why someone would demonstrate such creativity in a build and then stuff the engine bay with a belly-button bowtie. Very pleased to see his 368 Lincoln and hear your comments.
Now THIS is how you restomod. LOVE the Ferrari-styled seats - the interior is a work of art, it's very Pagani-like.
it is gorgeous.........I woulda not polished so much tho..more of a nickle or satin finish I say..seats are wow..and they sit a bit too hi for many dudes......drop them an inch or 2
@@alpeena is lo mismo to get to work and then you oppressively 09990[ooo900
I love sectioned 49-51 fords. they really do have a euro look to them. Couple of my little pages from back in the day people did this more often than you would think and every one of them turned out a little different and unique. RIP Bruce wish you could have enjoyed your beautiful creation more.
Seeing the memoriam at the end bummed me out. I hope he got to really enjoy it. What a sweet ride! And it's got a stick! I loved that rumble. Sounds like a real car.
So great to see Jay give a deserving craftsman a hand up!
At least Bruce knows Jay Leno wanted to show off his dream car on his show. Probably felt nice knowing that others will appreciate his biuld. I do. It's a cool biuld . Good job Bruce . And as always Thanks Jay.
Vlad Alexander that was very nice of u 2 say that 💑
What a fantastic engine sound. Possibly the best I've ever heard!
Jesus that 368 Lincoln engine is GORGEOUS
Bruce thank you for your vision on this car. RIP, and blessings to your family.
Would imagine Bruce is sitting up above and smiling his butt off at the beautiful way his dream car turned out. Go With God, Bruce.
I love this build. I have watched this many times. The sound~!!! It sounds like a ship out of Star Wars. Seriously cool.
I met Bruce several years ago at the Grand Nationals with this car it had just been finished, it was after the award ceremony and we talked about his car easily for an hour. He gave all the credit to the builders and couldn’t of been a nicer guy. Class act and it pains me that he passed away, I don’t think he truly got to enjoy that car, RIP Bruce!
What a special car! Saw the speedhunters article on it and fell in love. What vision to do something so different. Rip Bruce!
Almost 20 minutes and no one said "shoebox". Super sweet ride. Thanks Mr Levin, RIP.
This car can be added to my FAVE Jay Leno's garage cars. I've always loved the 1949-53 Ford sedans. Thanx so much for sharing this car and to those who built it, TOUCHE!
Good lord, this is like if Singer built a '51 Ford. Seriously amazing looking work.
That thing sounds beautiful..
Nailed it, Bruce. I'd rock this masterpiece in second. All day, every day.
Props to all who made this happen. Hoisting my glass in your direction!
P. A. Grens and that guest was d coolest 1 yet
Jay this is my absolute favorite guest car ever on your show. Have watched this episode so many times. thank you for sharing.
I am sorry to hear about the owner. thank you again, tim from new mexico.
Of all the cars I have seen on your show, this one takes the prize! Beautiful project! 🙂
RIP Bruce.
I thought he was "battling health issues"..
That`s what Leno said..
watch the end
He lost, September 17, 2017
That made me genuinely sad when I read that as the end 😥
Bruce Leven died in September. Cancer. Neat guy with an incredible passion for racing.
RIP Bruce beautiful car from back in the day
Man this car is beautiful beyond belief, it’s sad Bruce never got to take it for a spin. This needs to be put on display in a museum art gallery in his honor.
it now resides in amarillo texas alongside a plethora of other beautiful show cars and is meticulously taken care of and maintained.
Absolutely love the micro door handles! So much flavor
It's a true work of art!
maxjett films-- Yes, I think it is one of the most artistically detailed cars yet. There was just something there most other- even much more expensive cars featured seem to not have attained- a certain panache
R.I.P Bruce
Hearing that Lincoln 368 scream is an awesome sound.
Such beautiful, beautiful work. Craftsmanship though and through.
i almost died a year ago, congestive heart failure, next week is my 57th birthday. life is so fragile. God Bless Bruce.
mr bad example Yup. The 50's is a critical decade for most. If we dont take care of ourselves by that age things can go wrong very quickly. In fact after our mid 30's is when you really can't continue the life you lived before. The body just changes too much....sadly too many people just don't get it and they feel good so they continue bad habits...
I'm 44....bad back...high cholesterol...high blood pressure....and most recently a hernia....I still work 7 days a week....haven't fixed the hernia yet....and also failing eye sight.....
Christopher May Well the bad back is caused by over working. I have a bad back as well but most people have issues with their back by their 40's. You probably have degenerative disc by this point and some arthritis. Not a big deal and can be overcome with working out and keeping muscles strong. Eyesight...most people need reading glasses or better by their 40's again not a big deal. I have worn glasses since I was 9 and they have steadily gotten worse over the years. High cholesterol and high blood pressure....yeah that's a big deal. I have neither. My cholesterol was about 220 and it took a few years to get below 200. Cut beef and pork 100% out of diet. If you don't get those under control soon you are headed for heart issues...you overweight?
27 and recently almost died twice in one month, natural causes too.
10 years behind you with heart problems. All I can say is get a nice ride and take it easy.
WOW! 😳 A definite work of passion and art, one of the prettiest restomods I've ever seen. Kudos to the owner and builders, you hit that one out of the ballpark. 👍👍
phenomenal, beautiful attention to detail, intermixing all different year pieces and blending them wonderfully, and she screams . sweet.
What a piece of art.
Bruce, thank you for sharing your beautiful machine with us. I feel sad with your passing and that you did not have more time to enjoy driving your vehicle. RIP.
That might be the most beautiful car I have seen in this channel.
What a beautiful ride
The craftsmanship
Man I can't say enough good things
Mr. Leno, You Truly are a Class act. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.God Bless.
Bruce had perfect taste, I think this is one, if not the most beautiful car I've seen on this channel and that says a lot. Sorry you couldn't enjoy the car more.
Thanks to Jay for another great video.
Amazing build, it grew on me as I saw the interior, and that gold Lincoln badge. Engine is perfect love that brass look!
I think this is my favorite car I've seen so far on this show, every part is so amazing
and to think, I almost didn't watch this episode. So glad that I clicked on the icon because that's one of my favorite cars and to have a story like the gentleman who unfortunately passed on. Bruce lived a good life I'm sure, Godspeed.
Thanks Jay! RIP Bruce.
Thanks Bruce for getting the car built. RIP.
Probably the most elegant paintwork I've seen done on a car..👏👏👏
Aw man! I don't even know the man, but that broke my heart. RIP Bruce.
Sad to hear about Mr Leven. Appreciative that he made this excellent car available for all to see. Excellent car. RIP, sir.
Thanks jay for keeping the videos coming its greatly appreciated by every single viewer
RIP Bruce may peace be with you and your family. Beautiful car a far cry from the one my dad had in Alaska in the '50's great job.
Oh, this one touched me. I've worked on my friend's '50 Ford Business Coupe for several years. He passed in January this year. His son, just brought it back to me to chase down a few problems. While watching this I kept thinking my friend would have loved this build.
Sounds amazing.. At 15:20 when they pull off, you could swear it sounds like an idling speedboat. Great build
Thank you Jay and crew great show I was moved at the end
I know my own father is battling the big C as we call it at the moment and when talking to him only a couple of days ago he said "dont put things off in life as its over before you know it"
Once again thank you and RIP Bruce
That car is really a work of art. By far one of the top 5 builds I have seen. Very similar workmanship and style as a singervehicledesign... That is were he may have drawn some inspiration.
I love the old school race inspired look, sets it apart from all the identical roof chopped 50's coupes with a Chevy 350 and huge chrome wheels.
Great choice of engine for this build., but so sad that Bruce didn't get to appreciate the great build that Craig and his guys did for him.
RIP Mr. Leven.
Wow that interior is amazing!!! Beautiful car.
I can barely remember my folks having a 51 Ford and I never would have imagined one could look that good!
I absolutely love this car, the look and sound of that motor is just phenomenal and the body lines and all the lil details are so nice!!!
RIP Bruce
Thanks J for the video
Considering he says he's "not a custom guy", Leno has grear taste in customs. This, or that Riviera from a few weeks back, or the Ring Bros cars, or that Kaiser from a few years back, or even stuff like that Datsun Sunny ute- they're always incredible builds.
To me, there's a difference between "period-detail custom" and "modern supercustom". A '57 Chevy with all modern parts inside, where only the outer body is '57 Chevy any more wouldn't be very interesting.
And I don't think Jay would feature any customs he doesn't like.
Anonymous Freak jay like anything on 4 wheels with AC😀😁😂🤣
Neil Gibbons-- Definitely gotta have AC! Whats the point of all that power if you cant afford to give up 5 to 8HP to run a little bit of ventilated comfort!

Memo to Jonathan Ward of ICON: Buy Wicked Fab, partner with this guy and fold in his staff, a great fit! BTW Jay's audio and video quality, always excellent, is better than ever.
I'm really digging this car. I like a lead sled, but this is cool. Jay nailed it on the spyker interior, The first time I saw one on top gear I said that's the coolest interior I've ever seen. I like this a lot.
I love it. I love the build quality, the asthetic, everything. Awesome!
Nice one on the bucket list.. Great car, nice build. At least he saw it to completion.
That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever laid eyes upon.
That is gorgeous. Not brash like most customs. I love the European period racing feel. All the leather buckles and the rear trunk/boot touches. Fantastic. Colour is great too
absolutely beautiful. one of the top 5 cars you've had on jay
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln."
Doctor Robert Don Garrity in his museum south of Ocala FL has a T-bucket with a v12 Lincoln flat head.
I was driving that Model A ✌😎
nice
Great car! My first car was a 51 Ford...I was hoping to see the "lollipop" speedometer inside, but the big dials are also cool. Thanks for bringing this car on your show.
Absolutely beautiful car. I'm glad Bruce was able to see it finished.
I would've been buried in that badass '51 with
KD sunglasses, one arm out the window riding into eternity. ✝
Well executed custom. I hope to see it sometime in person. Love the way motor/exhaust sounds. Thanks for sharing Bruce!
'51 Ford is such a classic body style, I wouldn't have chopped it myself, but I really like the 368ci Lincoln engine, nice touch.
What a beautiful machine. The detail and trick quality is amazing. Thanks Jay and thanks Wicked Fabrication. Loved the car from the first rumble of the engine.
What a great build and you know its a good car by Jay's expressions and enthusiasm. Plus, this episode was well produced. Thanks, Peter B.
Long John Silver treasure chest had me rolling !
This is one of my favorite cars on the show. Thing looks and sounds amazing !
Wonderful wonderful build!!! What a touching tribute to Bruce at the end. RIP
Amazing! Definitely one of my favorite custom ford builds!
Fantastic show. Would have loved to see a breakdown of all those ceiling switches. Gorgeous vehicle
Such a beautiful car. What an outstanding work of art. Not too much exaggeration and love the engine used just pretty outstanding automotive build.
This is the very best custom car i have ever seen . I'am 80 and i have seen miles of custom cars done very well , but this one is the top of every thing .... Thanks Jay for showing this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
