I'm pretty sure my 3 year old grandson is going to be a gearhead he will sit and watch your videos with me, Constantly saying "HE'S FIXING IT POPPY" ✌🏻😊🇺🇸🇨🇦
I'd pay admission of a case or two of beer just so I could walk around your property and look at all your stuff. I like the color choice on the Pontiac too. It doesn't need to advertise its bad ass, that's happens when you fire it up.
Three comments come to mind: 1.) Car 'skills' second to none in terms of using what you got. 2.) Developing a vision in your head, then creating it with your own hands, in short order. 3.) Great on the road cinematography, better than some movies.
Totally agree, especially number 3. That shot at 23:15 is epic, like something out of a period road movie. Of course, having roads like that on your doorstep has to help. I had to smile when he turned-off that long, dead straight road, onto a long, dead straight road.👍😁 27:50 shows the 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 way to turn a big lump of car on a dirt road but it looks so cool from the drone.
all you had to do was show the key and she started right up... This 38 puts me in mind of the cool rods typical of the Dick Tracy cartoon, comics and film era..., love it!
Put a hinge on the license plate. Mount it a little lower so it can swing without bending on the bumper and let it just drag when it comes in contact with some thing.
Love the way you look at things, dive in, and if it don't quite work, but it works, eh,what the heck. Love your relationship with your dog...he loves you no matter what.
I love the old Pontiac. I had a 1937 Plymouth 4 door sedan when I was in college for a while. What a blast to drive that old 6 cylinder. Once you got it up to speed it was a juggernaut!!!
My 15 yr grandson just helped me rebuild a 64 buick 425 nailhead. I would do it first then he would do the next job weather it was installing pistons or heads. His father knows nothing about cars. Sometimes it's up to us Grandparents to step in and help continue this great hobby. Or tradition of working on our own stuff. That's why we both love this channel.. great Job 👍.
You create the best looking stuff anywhere, that Pontiac looks great from every angle. Love how it fits perfectly into hard use in your setting. Love Pablo, too. Thanks for many hours of viewing pleasure.
I was watching the drone shot and thinking 'she must be a handful - he's all over the road' ......and then I saw the rooster tails and finally understood..........!! I absolutely adore that beast. From the low stance to the chopped roof and side window delete and the headlights so reminiscent of a 37/38 Chev, you nailed that thing. Paint colour is perfect and suits the beast like it was made for it. Some big chrome hubcaps and maybe a little tasteful custom pinstriping would really make her pop IMO, but she's still a sight to behold and looks good enough without them. Those glasspacks just add the final dimension to me....and the sound of shifting her up through the manual box just finishes it completely. I'd happily import the beast here and drive her until I couldn't drive any longer. Awesome to see it on the road again and cruising. That's what she's built for....but you know that. Keep it in the furrow, brother. All the best.
I personally love the color choice. 👍 What a great cruiser car. It's gangsta. It's always a pleasure watching you work magic on your stuff. Thank you 👍
This car was the start of my RU-vid addiction lol! I found this build on a random search and started watching you build her. I couldn't wait for the next video to come out lol!
Dude, you totally nailed it on this build, love the look, color is magnif, bigger lights and slight shape change,fabulous. good freakin job !! the rest will get worked out. cheers rudy
A very nice car. In 1974 I bought a 1940 Pontiac business coupe. It was all original with the flat head six engine. Everything worked, even the clock. It had sitting for about a year. We jumped it and I drove it home. It was really a cool car.
Cannot understand why, after so much work, you went and drove that beautiful Pontiac in circles in a field rather than driving it slowly and majedtically in a town center and filming the reactions of the public. That is role of these classics. They have historical value apart from being stunningly beautiful. As for keeping it uncovered in an old barn!!!! What a great pity. Do you want to sell it? You did a great job ( upholstery was not the best) on it and I admire your skill.
I really like this build, I have watched it over several times. I think the color is right on. I wish I could convince you to guide me through the top on my 40 Chevrolet? Thanks for all the great builds. Pablo and Buddy make it even better.
It is so Gangster. Loved the build & watched every clip. Doesn't seem that long ago but time flys when your having fun. Thanks for the video Brent. Cheers Billy J.... Strail'ya...
You are a great person with a wonderful atitude . My favorite youtube bar none use what the good lord gave you and dont stress too much . I would love to shake your hand for the many hours of enjoyment i have had watching these videos . Thank you so much !!!!
I'm a long time Pontiac fan.. Bought a 66 tempest back in 86...still have it today..now added a 78 Grand LeMans half backed big tire car few years back...this is sweet...I can see myself in this car.
I like all the projects you do,but my favorite so far is “the 1938 Pontiac coupe 3 windows” I’ve seen al the videos of this project several times;keep up the good work!!! I want one,just like it. I wouldn’t change a thing 😊
Love the Pontiac. The perfect daily driver. I've built a lot of rear ends over the decades. 90 +% of car guys and mechanics don't have a clue on how to set one up "properly." More involved than meets the eye.
I’ve had that plug leak on a Chev years ago. A leaky freeze plug looking thing in the back of it. But if sealer and she’s good for years. Never had problems again with it. Amazed me to find it too.
The teardrop shape of the headlamp pods was perfect as a follow through the fenders. She’s right at home cruising down the road leaving the dusty slipstream behind. Perfect ending.
I would love to have that car. It is the perfect gangster look without being too gangster. it has the most beautiful lines with the chop you did. You do fantabulous work. Great ,Great car.
Awesome stance on that. Gain laundry pellets keep mice out. Sprinkle a few around the interior and on the floor. Just vacuum up when you take it out. Really appreciate you're taking time to video your projects and share your knowledge.
This gentleman has more skills than anyone I have ever seen, and I like all the lines of his modified '38 Pontiac. My only criticism is the paint job lacks lustre. I had a '39 4-door Pontiac approximately that color but it looked metallic bronze. I owned it from about 1950 to 1952. (I'm 97.) Later: I watched the video "1938 Pontiac Walkaround," and now I feel the original lines were just fine, and a better result would have been a refurbishment and good quality paint job.
Remindes me of my ride in a Pontiac 1938 straight 8 coupe, back in 1960 ish, when we wanted to see how fast it would go, down the A5 in North Wales, UK. I distinctly remember passing 80mph, ahuge speed for the day !!!
Beautiful 38! When you said you hadn’t driven it in a year and I saw it stored outside, I said “mouse house”, then you find a nest. Advice: sell some of your less amazing stuff and build a garage for the treasures or just sell them too. A garage with mouse traps and electronic repellants would save you from cursing about mouse damage. Have fun wrenching!
I love the stance, and the Cam, I have a 37, (with a 392 Hemi) and 38 Chevy Coupes, simple and Cool, no stupid Electronic Sensors and sh*t ! This is true Hot Rodding, I approve. Your Dog fits perfect too, so awesome ! Wow.
Setting a rear end up is an aquired learning experiance. Even for an ASE master Mechanic. The crush washer on the tightness on the pinion shaft is important. Bet you're glad it wasn't a tilt wheel....special tool. Badazz ride Bud.
Always a great video job, Brent. THANK YOU for listing the music credits, you use the best music ever for your videos; I always wonder who makes this music I like so much! PS I'm a guitarist with 50 yrs (!) experience, grew up listening to all the great music of the 60s from Beatles to Hendrix. Love jazz, blues and improv; pretty picky about what I like, and you seem to nail it every time! Thanks for all the great content and music too!
Love your 38 Pontiac!...I'd even think hard about trading something for it !!??. I'm a fabricator and have a shop similar to yours and spend just about everyday out there...latest project is turning an 05 rear-ended Mustang into a unibody/widebody truck...almost done. Built 2 street rods (ground-up), a custom Jeep, restored/customized a 76 chevy stepside 4x4 and a 98 k3500 4x4 dually flatbed...would LOVE to find a 38 Pontiac cuz i'd do just what you did....love it! Thanks for your vids...very nice to know I'm not the only one who love working with my hands/in shop.
That' 39 is an absolute testament to the ingenuity of the people, the designers and the tool and die guys. Basically, this machine came about just 4o years after the horse and buggy, that had been the mode of transportation for 2000 years or more. Here I am - looking at this basically stock 83 year old Beautiful aero dynamic luxury carriage. Drop dead gorgeous! Thanks ror the video. I WAS RIVITED SOLID TO WATCHING YOU ENJOY A JOB🇺🇸✌
I think the colour is brilliant. This car looks great, just finished watching the entire playlist. (Skipped the 1 a-z build as I watched the individual videos). I wouldn’t have chosen the colour, but seeing it, it totally works. PS: the playlist is basically in reverse order so, I had to keep manually selecting the next video as RU-vid kept wanting to show me the last video I had watched).
Yeah. This is a favorite of mine. Cool color. Sounds great. 4 on the floor. I think I would raise the back a little more is about the only thing I think should happen. I also dig the General too. I would like to see a Crown Vic front end on an old f150 build with a 4 link in the back. Keep up the great stuff !!!
Great to see that Kickass Rod back on the road! Mice tip...put fabric sheets (the ones used in a dryer)in the interior and engine bay. Mice don't like the smell. I've been using them for years and I store my 33 willys in a barn! Thanks for sharing!
The 1938 GM cars were the best looking of this era and the first “muscle car” arrived with the 1938 Buick Century. The huge (for the day) 1938, 141hp, 320ci OHV Buick Roadmaster engine and 3-sp trans was installed into the small Buick Special chassis and renamed the Century (100+mph). Police got onto using the Century as there were few cars-if any that could outrun it. A 1938 Century sport coupe held the National Hot Rod Association class record for the next two decades or so. Its performance seems mundane by today's standards, but in 1938, 320ci and 141hp was hot stuff. As for the Pontiac straight-8 boat anchor engine, my father had two of them and any Chrysler product 6 cyl could outrun it.
Solid update on the 38 Pontiac build. 10k in views and 1k in likes is a good days work. 65k in subs! This channel is finally getting the attention it deserves.
Carona says damn Mices! We still love this car! Man I remember locking that stupid clip in by myself without the proper compressor! It sucked, but I got it. 73 Pontiac tilt comlumn in a 72 Toyota FJ40.
Every time I watch one of your videos it is a nicer car and or truck than the one before. I envy you my friend. And the shop you have, I would probably never go to the house.
I love how you can get away with chopping cars the way youse do it over there as here in Britain the crap that we would have to go through with VOSA would be unreal, anyway I just love the way you do it always great content keep it up man
I love to watch guys build rods out of what they have! when they start throwing new stuff at it I am looking for another build! keep doing what youre doing I love it!!!!!
I like this car i've just binged watched this whole series. You did a good job on this Brent. congrats. I think the color is perfect. maybe a bit lighter brown but hey its yours if your ok with it, it's all that matters. The car is cool no matter which way you look at it.
What a great ride Brent! LOVE the front end, LONG! I'm so glad you build things to drive and have fun doing it. Nice tip using that bolt to remove that plug. Rather that than fancy paint and electronic crap!! High test fuel, the smell of oil on the headers and away you go!!
