Pontiac wished they had designed this beautiful coupe. This fella is not precious about anything. He just jumps in and gets it done.
How can anyone so talented be so humble? You have an amazing work ethic and deserve any success that comes your way.

That is how he keeps making amazing creations. I like how he addresses new challenges. Something that keeps you humble. It’s bigger than you and you address it each time you come across a challenge. To compare him to Pennys and Bad Chad, is his personality is comes out as a calm man with a rogue attitude that is highly creative & most of all Not arrogant .

It was a joy watching you do this car, as a collision shop and restoration shop owner for well over 40 years you abilities do fabricate pretty much anything on the fly is really impressive ! I enjoy just how you’re able to draw the line in all your builds to where your doing it for yourself. I am grateful and appreciate you sharing these builds with all of us. Thanks !!

Beautiful lines.. The best I've ever seen. Probably sold by now.
So YOU'RE the one responsible for all those crop circles! Here we were blaming those poor aliens the whole time! Seriously - she's a work of art, my friend. Beautiful job.
It's crazy to watch all those episodes mashed together. You worked so hard on this car and it turned out beautiful. Hard to realize all the work you did. It was one of my favorites of your builds to watch. Enjoy it, hard work has payed off!
The guy who brought this car back to life is a genius. Amazing !
What a "💓GOD-GIVEN💓" Fascination (Talent) for a Man to be INDUSTRIOUS and ABLE to Build things from the Ground Up! (With NO Procrastination or Laziness! to Get Things Done!) 👍😊👍
I have not seen that coupe in 47yrs. I even got my drivers liscence in it! I hit a pole in the winter of 1970. My father took the car on a trade for me on a 1961 MGA twin cam. I screwed that one up, as youtes do. A little history, the original owner went off to Normandy, and neve came back. The parents covered the car and I bought it in that condition. When I let it go, I had completly refinished it to stock..I love what you have done to her. I had good memories from her, and I hope you do also. She deserves to be renewed. I love what you have done to her. Good luck.
" I'm not a professional at this" This guy has octane running through his veins.
I pressed like once when I saw this guy's welding, then I wanted to smash like again when it came to the final result, but realized I had already pressed the like button before.
My father did a 1940 Pontiac,took him 11years. The car is really cool,rumble seat and all. Sorry no pictures,way before you-tube. Thank you for the video,cool restore..
Wow! Transformed an old relic to a very classy classic! Great talent in chopping and metal work involved to make it all flow together! Very impressed!
Then I been watching from then. One of my favorite channels!
This is my second time watching this video. It's like your truck with two rows of seats. It is not a transformation but a metamorphosis. You are an artist.
What a multi talented guy who persevered through so many difficult situations. Amazing!
Absolute genius who knows his stuff. Love the no nonsense presentation and explanations. Thanks for sharing your passion. Joe

Looking at all the old iron you have. A good trick to preserve it is, squirt drain oil in the bottom of all the panels, doors, hood, and trunks etc. Let it drip out its dirty for awhile but here in Minnesota I've drove my 2004 Toyota for 300.000 miles no rust!

How does anybody get to this point when you can build something so beautiful pretty much from scratch. That is amazing. Great job. Car came out fantastic. You have a great talent. I would consider this an art.
I can honestly say I have never watched a KZread vid longer than 5:00 until now. I watched end to end and must say, this build was fantastic.
This is simply amazing. the guy is pure talent but most importantly, modest. hats off to you.
I love your totally relaxed attitude to chopping a car roof! I'm sittin here freakin out, staring at my '50 Studebaker truck. All the "what if" scenerios playin out. And then there is you goin "lets chop this outa there and see what happens"! Oh yeah, this truck is an absolute rust bucket! Hell... 2 inches of one door at the bottom is just gone! There was zero floor when I got it. Anyway ive been inspired by your videos. Keep up the great work!

haha thanks, and your truck sounds neat, although rust sucks at least you can make what you want with it theres nothing there so you can't possibly make it wrong haha
I don’t care what anyone says, but you are a bloody genius. That was bloody awesome mate. Congratulations on a job well done. Cheers. 🇮🇳🥳👏🤩👍
Restoring classic vehicles is keeping American history alive great job👍
Wow, I just spent three years of my life restoring a 1966 Ford F100 and this gentleman makes it look way too easy. Definitely showing his talents in many different areas of the restoration. Nice work!
Brings back memories Great to see from start to finish.
Had no idea that this project was the beginning of your KZread experience!!! You do the videos so effortlessly, it’s like you are a natural at anything that you attempt!!
Thank you very much for the video of your project. It was a joy watching you do all of your work.
I'm glad you started your KZread channel. I love the metal work you do as a sheet metal worker myself I enjoy seeing you proceed through the builds and come up with such awesome finished vehicles. Looking forward to the next one.
Gangster car! Awesome!! Glad we got to see it this way, start to finish...LOTS OF WORK!! Enjoy it....
I love the lines on her. You have a great combo there. She's a beautiful car that you wouldn't be afraid to drive for a daily. Your talent and confidence to do it all is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Brent. The "Driving the Pontiac Coupe" sequence [starts at 1:00:01] is a masterpiece.
The dude gets more done on a Monday night than I get accomplish in a month.

This guy is a genius there’s no way I could do that. I would just like to watch him work all day.
It's beautiful. To pull something from that era and re-imagine the vehicle like you did is just amazing. I hope it brings attention to your enterprise.
I was just strolling through till I seen this ol Pontiac, I got a soft spot for them ol classic cars, like how u modified it, just absolute beautiful, awesome vid👍
Hi there! Just today I found your channel and man do I love it! I love this build. I like the way you make your videos. Very encouraging to see one man accomplish so much great work! Thank you sir! You are an encouragement!
Such a pleasure it was to watch this whole video and to see so many facets of the car's transformation. Loved it.
My mom had a 39 pontiac business man's coupe, what a great car that was.
what good memories ...I started following your channel just when you installed the camaro front axle on the Pontiac! Nice summary of the various stages of construction!
Man..... this might be the most incredible restoration i've ever watched....... the transformation of a complete junker to a priceless antique........ this is a moment of RESPECT!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮👍❤️
How fucking awesome is that, builds car finishes it and takes it for a ride on a snowy road and a dirt field FRIGGIN beautiful, congratulations my man.👍
Wow? You da man bro. Bodywork, fabricating, painting, welding, upholstery. U did it all. Unbelievable. Congrats and thanks for sharing it with us wannabes.
you do great work sir!!! You're a dying breed of excellent metal work and for that you have my respects!
Man I hope I can build epic things like this when I'm older!
Been doing builds for some years now. Right now, I'm working on 4 BMW CSis from the 70s. Full of rust like lace curtains. Lots of panel work to do. Love watching a craftsman at work. Picked up some great ideas from this vid too. Well done!
I think we all have the ability to think in multiple dimensions. But very few can translate it into three dimensional STEEL. You are very talented.
Impressive! Shows your talents as an "I can do it all" guy. End result is a very cool vintage hot rod. Enjoy it!
I think this is my favorite build of yours so far. Very cool custom. That chop was a lot of work!
at first i was like "bah, why paint the car brown" but the more i look at it the more i like it. great work
A good looking rod, with tons of personal touches. Better than most show vehicles, has more soul & you can drive it every day. Damn fine good job.
watched the whole thing , amazed at your welding and fabrication
5 months behind, but that is one of the best builds I've seen yet. Love all your work and how you enjoy the fruits of your labor!

You've reconstructed and rejuvenated the legendary 1938 Pontiac. I've spent 1 hour for this beautiful car and I did really appreciated your hard work from Thailand. Cheers !!!
You are a car fabrication genius. I love what you did. I wish to have you work on my 1939 Ford standard I just bought. I would love to have it lower just like you did to this car with the back slanted like that. Thank you for making me watching every episode of your KZread channel. 😊😊 I love it
What a great-looking car! Love the music also....
This is just amazing, and you are incredibly talented!
I love the fact that, after spending so many sweat equity hours on that thing, that you took it out into a field and did donuts until you tired of it. Beautiful ride, was fun to watch the build. Thank you!
Im doing a 41 chevy coupe and this is right up my alley im going to have to watch this about 5 times and take notes . Hehee. Tons of info going on there . I can see already the bbc might be a problem . Beautiful car ,love it.. Thanks a million!
Sei un ottimo carrozziere restauratore. Vali tanto oro, quanto pesi! Bravo!
Great skills Brent Thanks for sharing ! That has the look , awesome journey to get there too!
I am just constantly in awe at the unbelievable skill you have in building these incredible cars. Amazing!
I truly enjoyed watching your work,thanks for sharing it with us.
Ya this build was my introduction to your channel. You are, as far as I'm concerned, the master of the subtle chop. You don't lose headroom and make things more aerodynamic. Love the Dodge chop [my current fave] but I love this Poncho with the Torpedo headlights. Fantastic stuff!
You nailed the proportions! It looks like something the gm design team would have drawn up in 1938.

Is the color original? I would have liked black and yellow.
ive been watching a lot of mechanics getting old rusty machines working again pulling the motors apart getting all the grime out and getting them working again but theres something even more satisfying to see a build from start to finish
I am left shaking my head...in awe......watching you.... bend, shape, contour.....pure art.......just amazing work.......
Brother you have some awesome skills. Your like the car whisper. Love your Channel. Keep up the awesome work and be SAFE up there. 👍👍👍👍👍💯🥇🏆 Nashville, Tennessee

Of course, LOL! Especially where he covers sheets of metal. Not to mention that the original metal that is covered is not protected against rust. He should remove the original sheet metal and replace it with a new one, not overlap the original. Really Awesome. Yeah Right. LOL. That car is gonna have rust problems in few years again.
When I cant be out riding my motorcycle, watching this is the best therapy for me. What a splendid work. Hats of for you sir

This guy here is the best fabricator I've ever seen. Top notch!
Damn that's a nice ride!! Love to see the face of the dude who bought this new back in the day. Turned his everyday driver into an awesome outlaw.
Fantastic build, mate. I especially loved seeing the doughnuts....er....testing done in the field and watching you at work with fabrication and bodywork. The old girl has come up a treat - She looks graceful and like she'd be a very comfy cruiser. Great stuff!
A pleasure to watch and listen to! I like how you alternate between fast time lapse and narrating in real time. The sound track is excellent!
H.A., you’re the best fabricator I’ve ever seen.
THATS THE BEST LOOKING PONTIAC IVE EVER SEEN BRENT THANK YOU 👍
Man o man, you’ve got talent for days. God bless you, sir, for sharing with us all.
I Love the Body Style of that Car n the Stents is Perfect n believe it or not I liked the Rough look 😆
I swear to God the ending drive with that back ground music this clip should receive some kind of award for coolest video
Absolutely the best video on auto project I've seen ..what a craftsmen...fabulous ..
Love this car
Good morning.. it’s a wonderful thing watching an artist transform a relic into Art Deco. So many skills,talents,and efforts melted into a classic... Thanks for the treat....James

Hadn’t seen you sewing before- jack of all trades for certain
I wish I had these skills and a shop.I would love to do this kind of work!
It’s my first time watching your channel and I have to say, I absolutely love your approach. No complicated long boring details and OCD about the right or wrong way to do something etc. This stitch and patch project was truly satisfying to watch, even the music is enjoyable. And respect to you for doing this alone. Thought you would add a bit of tan to the interior to compliment the tan trimmings on the exterior.I hope you have more content like this, or I’ll be very upset 😓😅. Anyway great job sir. PS... meh, it is what it is 🤣

Truly an amazing display of workmanship! Just too good.
This one cameback to life beautifuly. You´re an artist.
This was a great build. One of my favorites. I like it on air suspension but I can completely understand removing them. Nevertheless this is a great build.
This probably my favorite of ur cars, that shape is just Fk'n elegant and hot rod at the same time...
This car is one of my favorites. Normally, I'm not a fan of "chopped" 30's cars. But the work you did on changing to a 3 window and altering the top line turned the car into what it should have been to begin with. Now, it has sleek lines like some of the greatest of designs of the 30's. Great eye, and great work!
