    This is EXACTLY what you think you’re going to do, when you find that old car in the woods, when you’re like, 10. Really enjoyed this, and the Cragars and side pipes are perfect.

    I saw this in my feed, and had to click on it. I saw that is was nearly an hour long, and thought "ah, I'll skip the boring stuff, and see what happens at the end." I started the video, and have been GLUED to the screen for the whole thing. Didn't skip a second, and subscribed immediately. And before it was over, I paused it so I could share it with all my friends. This is absolute gold tier entertainment! Very well done, sir! I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I am insanely jealous of that car! I want one too!!!

    UK here. My evenings have been stolen by your videos. Agree with all comments. The video work is also remarkable and clearly a massive part of your time. The dry humour and ‘unintentional’ sharp scene edits and timing, particularly when talking is nothing short of magic, almost a new genre.

    Nothing but props to you man. The fact that you got that thing running and back on the road at all is a small miracle.
    It still baffles me how a 1970 GTO could end up like that in the first place but I suppose it's easy to say that now we're not in 1974 when they were on every street corner. Lol.
    BTW, you're commentary is just utterly hilarious!! I laughed out loud so many times, spat my coffee all over my new pressure washer once or twice too. Brilliant my friend, just brilliant! 👌

    🤣 ...rerunning this compilation this evening and the traffic cone-head bit, broke me up.
    Because I've seen the Holey Goat now on the road in your videos, looking back at where it all started from, it's hard to imagine this mangled, bullet riddled Pontiac could ever be road worthy-esque.
    But as you said, '...I will get this done...' and by gum, you did!

    If only they had youtube when I was 17. (now 57) You remind me of me back then. Totaled Monza spider, only about 2 feet tall because a lifted F150 landed on it in a wreck in the snow. With a 262 cu, in, 8500 rpm v8. Buddy said you can have it if you pay the impound fees. $327.00. 72 Vega, left side caved in 2 inches and blown aluminum 4 banger, $50. End result, side caved in V8 Vega with 12.7 eta, 147 mph top end. For $800. Traded straight across for 76' HO Trans Am with blown engine, 243 rear end gears and caved in passenger door. A few parts off another totaled 76 Trans Am and a few engine parts, 167 mph top end Trans am for only $1000 more. I never got around to fixing the bodywork on either one. Those where the days. Love your video!

    Just want to say that after my beautiful reliable 2003 buick lesabre was totalled taking my kids to school, my wife and I looked for a replacement for 2 months. The very last day before I had to turn the buick over to the insurance (it was still being driven) we found a very cute 2010 ford focus in that cool looking Ford Blue color. The front seats had a lo of ass time in them and were stained but comfortable so the previous owner threw some seat covers on that did not match the car at all. We've grown to like them though. Imagine my surprise to see you've chosen the same covers!! Just thought that needed to be shared! Awesome build, and im thankful to have stumbled across your channel!

    That´s what´s becoming of you
    Numbers matching
    You can see vee eight but you know it isn´t clean
    Just wait you´ll see what I mean
    Gotta GTO away
    Holey Goat
    Shiny bearings
    Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
    Some oil is coming out of you
    Look out
    Race for the morning
    You can hide in garage ´till you see the light
    Oh we pray it´s all right"

    This reminds me of my high school days when I bought my 1st 66 Mustang as my one and only daily driver. I learned how to weld on it and so much more. I eventually sold it and got a better one. I love it and had to sub.
