These are my favourite type of videos on this channel.
Agreed.
I could watch hours and hours of the guys behind the scenes just working on all the projects ! Thanks for the update Jay !!
Agreed!
Agreed, amazing! I am slightly frustrated I can't do the same, not jealous, just frustrated. Not only you have to be seriously wealthy but, you also have to live in a country where you can have such a space and still live in or around a big city where you can work and earn enough money for that kind of project! You can forget about that in western Europe :(
Same here. The craftsmanship is amazing and I like that they also restore the less valueable or desirable classics.
Jay could start a whole new channel just showing the guys working on his cars.
I would definitely watch that.
That's a brilliant Idea!. I really enjoyed this video.
Webcam opportunity right there.....
I'm in
That's what I was thinking when looking at the finished brass water jackets for the Benz. Would have loved to see the work as it was being done - kind of "how it's made" for car restorations.
youve gotta love leno, his enthusiasm for all things vehicular is completely infectious, a man who's totally engaged. Great show
And the fact that he has so many projects going on just makes me dizzy sometimes lol (Just imagine the amount of tools he must have, oh, my lol)
Amazing enthusiasm, indeed.
Those brass water-jackets are works of art! That is going to be an amazing machine when it's done.
Thumbs up if you think these restoration updates should be done on a monthly basis!
Absolutely - they're fascinating. but maybe every 2 to 3 months. Progress in this game is slow ....
That brasswork was a piece of art!
I agree. And that is going to be a beautiful engine when they are done. And it's kind of funny because Jay's shop is putting German engineering to shame. Because they should have used brass instead of steel in the first place.
+Chico Little What do you know about engineering 100 years ago? American smartass...
Chico Little Remember, it was not put together for longevity. It was built for racing and because of the rate of how cars were improving back then, it would have become obsolete within a year or two at best.
Quite often racing/record attempt cars will be built with very fine tolerances and with whatever was the most cost effective material to use. I don't think it's about bad engineering, but that they would have never expected the car to still be around 100 years later. German engineering has always been a benchmark in industry since the turn of the last century. I think saying that Jay's garage and team are putting it all to shame is a little unfair and harsh. They have the luxury of hindsight as well as the 100 years of progress that has happened since the car was originally designed and put together.
So glad to see the Fasier Nash project. Still don't understand the chain drive so looking forward to a feature piece on that!
It's nice that there is room for the guys to work on their own projects.
And I suspect he's footing the bill for Bernard's new sidecar. Great for when your boss wants to take your ride out for a spin and screws it up.
Keep the workers happy there's a good idea lost to greed.
Jay is a true petrolhead. Taking time and energy to share his hobby with us!
I really love the restoration blogs, as basically everyone on your channel I'm just looking at your collection with star tinted eyes, and seeing the behind the scenes bits really shows us how hard/rewarding it really is.
It's cool you let the guys use the facilities. Thanks again for letting us hang out, it means a lot.
My favorite thing about Jay Leno's Garage is all the high tech equipment they have to make custom parts and so on. So much more than a simple car collection / garage. It's a full on restoration factory.
Jay i just LOVE these restoration blogs !!!!! The 22 min. seemed like 5 min. I could watch this for hours. So much interesting and cool stuff going on. Please try to do them more often!! Thanks Jay.
By far my favorite videos are your restoration blogs. I like the others, too...but these are my favs. Thanx, Jay for some great technical entertainment.
the update videos are my favorites. There are quite a few projects that Jay has the resources to save, that otherwise wouldn't likely ever be done, and his crew of guys saving these cars, restoring them completely, will allow these cars and bikes to live on long after we are all gone. Thanks Jay!
jay best show on yt or tv!! could you do a show about your employees. as in what their day looks like from unlocking the front door to leaving at the end of the day. i dont think many realize how many work for you and what they all do.
It must be great to work for Jay, he really appreciates his employees work and is always so kind to them!
I like that he also lets them work on their own projects in the garage too.
These are by far my favorite kind of videos that Jay does
Thank you Jay for taking on the projects no one else could or would and restoring these automotive treasures.
mr. Leno you are probably my favorite celebrity in the world. my father and I used to watch the tonight show when you were on it and both enjoy your sense of humor and your love for automobiles. the videos are great I hope to meet you one day.
love the resto shows, maybe do them every 3 months, and would like to see an update on the ecojet car
I really enjoy these Restoration Blogs. Thanks Jay.
keep the in depth stuff coming Jay. the newer bits are entertaining, but us motorheads like seeing the cars REALLY inside and out.
It's amazing, all of the things that you go through, to repair and restore these old vehicles. It's great that you, and Bernard walked away, from that burning race bike!
Lots of cool projects. True love for the classics.
My favorite kind of video
I could watch this all day. Jay should let someone hang around the workshops and record stuff all the time.
Jay, this episode was great. Anything that sends me down the "I've never heard of that!" rabbit hole of research for an hour is priceless. Lock and Stitch. Awesome. Thank you for all of these videos.
I admire the work you do to keep the history of the vehicles you have. Love this channel.
Ahhh yisss... love watching these restoration VLOGs
I love these updates. Jay, I have a source for those Mercedes W111 a/c knobs at a much lower cost, but it looks like you've got it covered. However, if you need the little colored plastic segments that go into the wood trim around them I can point you the right way there too.
A close friend who sadly died a couple of years ago, was one of the top wood restoration guys in the country, specializing in Mercedes. In fact, I'm pretty sure he restored the wood that's in the Mercedes 600 you bought from Karl M. He spent a lot of time tracking down sources for little woodwork insert trim parts like those.
By the way, those chrome wheel arch trims and belt line moldings on the 3.5 coupe are not original, but I'm sure you knew that.
Love the acoustics in the engine room, very clean without the echo you get in the larger areas.
Thanks for the update, you've got a great collection and we're all better car guys because you share.
Loved that last bit "Yes i'm wearing the same cloth, and i haven't cut my hair".
his garage is like a time machine
Leno's garage and restoration videos are the best.
Those cylinders on the Benz-Mercedes are familiar to anyone whose worked on radial aircraft engines like the Pratts or Wrights. They made then that way so they would eliminate the head gasket and have one less thing to worry about. There are early photos of cars like the Benz flying over the infamous bumps at Brooklands with the whole car airborne, something you didn't wasn't to do just before the turns.. Thanks for the updates Jay, and thanks for the video.
jimmy at 11:50 use to work for boyd coddington i remember him from american hotrod
I bet he is happy working somewhere that appreciates him now!
1:20 Its called metalock in Sweden, a similar invention, and an old one to.
Yes....interesting. I'm pretty sure I've seen this in Hungary as well when I was a kid.
These are my favorite shows. I am such a conservationist, and restoring and bringing back to life is my thing. I am so glad that you are taking responsibility for these treasures. Thank you.
Yep - Steel cars are real cars.
The Restoration Blogs are the best! Not only is it great to know that you are restoring all these treasures for folks to enjoy in the future, it's great to see how wonderfully documented the restorations are. Thanks for the good work.
Finn
Very good shows Jay.
Saddens me to think that one day not so far in the future Jay will be gone and that entire shop will close doors. Hopefully someone else will take the torch and continue to run the garage.
I've thought the same thing many times.
nah itll be converted into a museum then
I'm sure Jay will be delighted to know you're measuring him up for a wooden overcoat‼️💀💀💀
I hope so, I'd pay a LOT to go see it...
"Petersen Auto Museum" ?? Could end up there . . . or could be auctioned off.
I have known about and followed Jay since the early days. American Hot Wax! I play music so it hit home for me. Long live Rock and Roll and Jay Leno! You are an American Icon. Great video. Please do many more! Thankz
Absolutely fascinating. I love that these relics are being saved from the scrap pile, and love that in this small way we get to take part in the process.
i think jay just mentioned for the 5,396th time that he used to work at a mercedes dealer
Lots of noobs watch this channel every week.
During his college years
I'm one of those noobs that keep coming back. Guess I'll just denoob myself and subscribe.
Very Nice Jay ...you have soul like ...Janis joplin....when it comes to cars you get down and boogy.
Adore these restoration blogs, truly. Thank you for sharing these projects.
With the 3d printer capability, also keep in mind the cost of the printer as well as the skillsets required to not only operate the equipment but also to correctly model the desired parts. Even amortized across years worth of parts made, all of those elements do not make for a $5 part.
And on top of that, you have to go out & SELL your services! Personally I think that most people are "Dreaming" if they think that just because you put up a Website...They Will Come!🤣
Unless you are Selling Sex on the Internet & I'm jut too ugly myself for that!
The Cunningham.WOW.The interior. I think it's one of your best builds.The back story is really something.The fact that the guy built the cars,just so he could go racing.Whats left to say.
lock n stitch is the best repair I've found for Fords that eject spark plugs
Their website has some serious information on it about repairing cast iron. And it's not just for cars. They do huge industrial repairs too. And oven welding at high enough temps to use cast iron filler rods. These people seem as passionate about repairing cast iron as Jay is about restoring cars.
I love jay, all these priceless cars and expensive projects, but still a frugal man. I"M NOT PAYING FOR STUPID KNOBS! Lets just make them :)
Yes, he probably passed on getting a $4000 Armani suit, for instance lol
(To my knowledge, he has no passive income, perhaps that's why he is frugal.)
I love seeing these restorations. The number of things going on in his work shop. more of these please
I wish Jay would do more videos like this. Restoration blogs, videos around the garage showing his collection. And not just the cars but the memorabilia and other items he's gathered together over the years. I far prefer these things to the videos about just the cars.
For about two seconds I though Jim's surname was 'Scortina'. I smiled and laughed out loud.
Jim's wife sounds like a keeper. Lotus ermine white sounds like the colour of Jay's hair.
Code 9 it should be. Or is in Oz at least.
Yes I am wearing the same clothes and no I haven't combed my hair! Hahh
Jeez I love Jay Leno, such an interesting dude! It's such a joy to watch a man talk about his passion. I didn't watch the Tonight Show much, but this show has me coming back every week!
It's like getting hooked on drugs (watching Jays' garage) The good thing is you don't get arrested.
I always really enjoy the restoration blogs. I think more of the repair and restoration work should be filmed, i'd enjoy watching that on a regular basis.
I LOVE THESE UPDATES - WHAT WAS THE BODY ON THE GROUND BEHIND THE BURNT OUT MOTORCYCLE?
Yes Jay, the white one, it looks like fiberglass but maybe not. What is it?
Looks like a Lotus Elan body.
He talked about it in one of the old update videos, I don't remember which one though.
@@petertimowreef9085 Yes it is an Elan body.
You should call these Restologs
I was thinking Restoblogs
Restovlogs.
I was thinking press-to-logs.
i was thinking product (s) of the day o log
What a wonderful workshop. This is a side of your life with the collection that deserves its own series.
It's a complex and fascinating archeology of moving vehicles, in itself. Uniquely interesting. Because by doing it, you discover how these vehicles were made - and the many problems those ingenious people overcame in making them decades ago. I suspect this is almost the best part of the work today. You clearly love it.
Jay this has to be one of the best resto videos you've done. I have to back and find the 1913 fire engine as it looked amazing. The Lock and stitch was very cool, and the crack about going to the Proctologist to have dental work done had me spitting my coffee. I so miss you on the Tonight Show. Don’t even watch anymore. Guess i’m too old as it’s just stupid most of the time. Look forward to whatever you have coming next week.
Hey Jay...where are things with that Volvo Resto-Mod project?
wondering the same thing. im guessing its done because it had progressed pretty well since the last update but it wasnt done. maybe he forgot about it. maybe we'll find out next week
Please, please, please, Jay, when are we going to get a ride in the Dyna Panhard, which is usually in the "French" area where you do many of your presentations?
@@omarjette3859 I would love to see a video on that. I see it in the videos and it looks too neat to be ignored.
@@jacobbelcher3512 Hi Jacob, I believe that ep. of JLG is searchable. We had these (Panhards) in Canada, back in the day. And I once had a Citroen DSM21 similar to Jay's.

Is Jimmy the guy from "American Hot Rod "?
the guy that quit cos he couldn't handle the chaos of that place?
+MrBfeboi yeah , I remember.... missed this show , American chopper and overhaulin
He also did a tank for Trev on Great Biker Build-off. Was he on OCC as well for a bit?
yeah he went nutso on that show
See how Jay said earlier that you cannot restore/rebuild these cars in a couple of weeks. Then we get to see Jimmy, who worked for Boyd, who would want cars complete in a month and it was just straight stupid stuff going on there. You can just tell Jimmy enjoys this type of shop and I do not blame him one bit.
Thank youJay for special episodes where you show detail of the car that is being worked on. Excellent good old classic show
Jay I love it when you say a good word for the pros who do you’re work.
Well, come on, we will show you!
So many times :D
Jes thats not a garage its a factory..How big is that place Jay?
It's a pretty big place, located near the Bob Hope airport, it houses over 200 vehicles.
I read somewhere it's 120,000 sq feet in total
I'm hoping to get to the L.A. area sometime soon, and plan on going by Jay's garage on the off chance someone might be outside and willing to chat.
Thanks for keeping "alive" these old machines.
Jay is the self proclaimed lifetime president of the more money than brains club and he's doing an excellent job.
Please keep the 911 brown.
I hope he does as well.
i believe he said re-paint. but i might have misheard. dont see why he would change the color. if you look at his entire collection he tries to have a variety of different colors. if i met Jay id be so curious to find out one of the simplest answers possible and that is what his favorite color is. because i dont think it comes across on the cars. silver ish grey (or gray) seems to be the most popular though
+Patrick Pelletier only Jay would luck into getting the most coveted vehicle amongst the Brown Car Appreciation Society: a chocolate brown 911.
+Patrick Pelletier he has a gorgeous brown Mercedes 600 Grosser.
Abe Froman of course. It's Jay Leno. How couldnt he. What surprises me is he doesnt have a Singer or an Icon product for that matter. At least from my knowledge.
this is a common way to fix cracks in Ford flat heads.
There are good heads available aftermarket now - possibly easier than trying to chase cracks...
But not so much blocks.
No. The typical process for repairing block cracks is to drill the crack and install tapered pins like a stack of dimes overlapping until the entire crack is "filled". Surprisingly, it's not "that" expensive to have done. It was about $100 an inch the last time I had one repaired (no idea if that's a linear scale of cost, but a 2" crack in a lifter valley was $200 when I had it done on a SBC block... this was in the late '90s though).
It's called 'pin welding', I'm surprised Jay never heard of it before.
***** Right. You can't weld either cast iron or aluminum without risking it warping. Cast iron often degrades to graphite over time due to heat, so welding is OUT! Pin-welding is indeed using tapered threaded pins, drilling each hole partially into the two on either side creating a continuous surface. This process is a refinement of that process, but fundamentally the same.
Had to rewatch the very ending. “Yes I’m wearing the same clothes, and I haven’t combed my hair.” Jay you are still funny as heck! Still giggling even now.
Jay, all I can say is thank you for all your preservation efforts and history lessons and sharing your passions with us. Thank you also because it looks like you employ an army of people and you seem like a dream to work for. You source things you need to source and give people credit and you do things in house that you need to do in house. God bless you.
Where does all the money come from to pay for these projects?
It wasn't like he was a late night talk show host on a major network
From his pocket
Not having kids!
Talent, skill, and a sense of humor.
He's worth around $350 million
He always seems surprised that we like these blogs. Well, they are at least as interesting as the garage ones. A great supplement to the garage-concept. I learned about Evans and will be converting in short time.
Got to hand it to Jay the team he has assembled, the restorations, the preservation of history, the commitment, the whole shebang. The investment of dollars is mind boggling. Got to be north of 100 million between, the building, the cars, the equipment, etc. 100 million is probably not even close.
Jay, you have real craftsmen working there. It seems that not only do they know what they are doing, they like doing it.
Wonderful, wonderful !
I just love it every time he says: "C'mon let me show you..." And starts wobbling excited away
best RUclips channel Jay. no dopey ads, no biases, just a love for machines. I'd work there in a second :) top man!
OMG...!!! A/C knobs, 😱. Good point, making your own, don't blame you. Great tour and info, very interesting. Great to see so much of the inside and projects plus some history. Never tiring, never enough, it's great👍👍. THX!!!
I like the way Jay tells people about good stuff he's found.
I remember Jimmy from a few episodes of Biker Build Off too. Occasionally a builder, like Trevelen, would bring him onboard when they needed something special fabricated. He's a master!
Don't ever change Jay love the updates and your show. thank you.
Fascinated to see the Frazer-Nash, and yes, very rare outside the UK. Jay's looks a really nice clean example. They are VASTLY underrated. They are also amazingly quick, as they are so light. We've been at a couple of events with them this year in the UK. We've been on the lookout for one for a while now, as, being so light, they make a great Hillclimb car...!
Maybe the best Restoration Blog yet! Thanks for sharing your garage paradise.
I'm wearing the same clothes, haven't combed my hair or taken a bath Jay! I gotchu beat! Love this stuff, can't get enough of it. Keep up the awesome work sir!
Keep us updated on Jim's Cortina's progress. Can't wait to see it running! There was a shop on Signal Hill that was tasked to replace all the parts from the Lotus Cortinas that went missing during shipping and storage in the harbor.
Ma, can't wait to see the 1921 Benz Mercedes finished up. That engine is going to be beautiful!
Watching your videos from the start Jay, I first wondered what you liked most, owning or driving/riding your collection. But, I think the answer is you get the biggest charge out of bringing them back to life. The collecting and owning must me some serious gravy on the potatoes.
Always enjoy Jays shop talks, love his comment the next one will be easier, thats what we all say. Love your channel Mr Jay.
Thank You Mr. Leno. Thanks for showing the guys behind the magic. I hope this isn't the last we see. Good to know Bernard wasn't hurt in the fire. I hope to one day just sit down and talk shop with you. Safe Miles!
JAY, YOU REALLY HAVE AN EXCELLENT GROUP OF SKILLED CRAFTSMEN, PROBABLY NONE BETTER !
Jay, your restoration blogs are one of my favorites. And it's great seeing what the crew are working on as well.
Generations will thank you in the Future,noting but admiration for your fine work
Another great post from Jay. He's just the most laid back presenter ever and i could listen to his Boston accent all night, easier on the ears that NY accent, at least to this Brit. Looking forward to seeing the Lotus Cortina progress. Classic British motor.
Thanks for the update Jay, it's also nice seeing what the other guys are up to as well. Looking forward to see the old Benz-Merc rolling again!
I watched j Leno while I was in Iraq. And he really knows how to keep you happy love these videos.
I say the same thing on any project jimmy works on. He is a INCREDIBLE artist and craftsman, anyone would lucky to learn from him. So glad he left coddingtons house of cookie cutter catolog cars and jay snatched him up. These guys are saving history that my great grandchildren will see abd i don't even have kuds old enough to have kids. Jay has a world class collections and provides the best equipment and has probably the best crew in the world and its not about money it's about the cars.
Jimmy from Boyd Coddington's American Hot rod!!!. Glad to see such a skilled metal worker is at Jay Leno's garage.
thank u jay for saving all the beautiful classic cars u did and will do
That silver Mercedes coupe is sooo nice. I cant imagine rolling around in that thing in the late 60s early 70s in europe, you mustve felt like a king.
