Love this show. No talking, no music, no snazzy garage, no fancy tools. Just a guy fixing something that was left for dead and bringing back to life. Oh, and cats!

I really enjoy the fact that you just jump into the work. You don't need to explain anything. The video itself does the work, great content brother!

Once again, a video shot to perfection, featuring exceptional camera angles. Finally, a video showcasing a car from the fifties—a decade that, in my opinion, produced beautiful models.

My wife and daughter have gone to sleep; I grabbed my beer and opened YT and this video was right there. Thank God and Simon. Perfect.

As a millennial who fully believes the early to mid fifties was some of the best years of underappreciated automotive design, this video is killer dude. Always love to see anything from this era get some love!

When things are done right, the results are bound to be good; you are a master and I admire your passion and dedication in bringing a car back to life. I love the sounds in general. Congratulations my friend.

Currently laid off from work - watching this with a cold beverage, dinner, and my cat next to me. Life is good.
