I really love these Restoration Blogs very much! That GT sure sounds angry! Holy crap! I'm intrigued by all of these cars. What an eclectic collection, right in this one restoblog. I look forward to seeing all of these in road tests in the future, especially that Baker Electric. My father, who was a car guy from the very old days (born in 1926), died this past week, and had been suffering from dementia but one of the last things I shared with him, while he was still able to converse, was one of your videos (1918 Cadillac Type 57 Victoria). He really loved it since his long-term memory was still intact. I also surprised him with the video on the Doble E20 steam car, which he had never heard of before. I know that the videos made him feel close to "normal" again, even if it was for 45 minutes or so. So, from a fellow Massachusetts boy (we're from Burlington), keep up the excellent material. Your videos always inspire me to do a little more work on my old Porsche. Thanks!

I hope Jay Leno someday puts his beautiful car collection in a beautiful museum, so everyone can enjoy the quality of restorations that j and his crew have done over the years and pay to get in the museum. So j can make some money. He certainly deserves a paycheck from the American people for preserving American classics and European classic cars. Kudos to Jay kudos to his restoration staff and crew. God bless them all.

Love how Jay takes the money he has made and uses it to rebuild mechanical artwork and gives the new mechanical artists an opportunity to do it.

The ONLY thing missing are a couple of scantily clad, gorgeous young girls. Work on that Jay, OK? Firing up that GT and hearing it? A pure automotive symphony.. WOW....

I owned a ‘67 Firebird with an overhead cam 6. I was in college and I did not think my aunt’s white ‘66 F85 with a 330 rocket V8 was sporty enough ( 2 speed automatic). The Firebird was light blue with 3 on the tree, no power steering, no A/C. I lived the car even though it was a piece of junk. The gas tank leaked. I had to run a higher heat range in two of the plugs to keep them from fouling. The rear fenders were rusting out. I got pulled over for no rear lights. Got out of the car and kicked the rear bumper and all the lights came on. My shift linkage kept coming lose. I wish I knew I could have made the rear seat fold down. I got stock on the freeway in Chicago in stop and go traffic and my left leg cramped from working the clutch. Had the car with me when I went to graduate school it’s U of Michigan. The fan belt broke 10 miles out of town. Turned the heater on and when the temp got high, shut off the engine and coasted to about 20mph, popped the clutch got the car up to about 50 and shut off the engine and coasted. Did that all the way home. Although a Chemical Engineer, I took an engine design coarse from David Cole, son of the former President of GM. Joined the Society of Automotive Engineers. It was one of my favorite classes. Sold my Firebird to a friend because my Dad gave my our family’s ‘72 Pinto. Owned several Chrysler 2.2 Turbos, Omni GLH Turbo, Lebanon GTC Convertible, Neon SRT4. Now my daily driver is an S65. I hope to collect unique Pontiacs and will look for a car like the one you are rebuild. Thanks for the memories.

Jay's Garage and the Restoration Blog are perfect. Just a car guy sharing, not showing off, things we love. He is so gentle, genuine, and knowledgeable. After an hour drive each way to work at a nursing care facility, I look forward to this quiet, calm, easy paced and informative piece. Jay is a natural communicator, there are 2-3 others on KZread, but the best example of this is Fred Rogers. He is just talking with us. Can't tell you how much this means once I get home.

Yaaaasssss! The resto blogs are the best IMO

"You're sitting on 400 volts. That's always comfortable." A guy could get a real charge out of that! lol

That’s shocking to hear

No need to apologize jay, the fact you are still in good health and making the videos any way possible is good enough to me. Keep it up and stay safe!

One of the things I like about Jay, is that while his cash certainly makes these happen, he's not just buying finished pieces. He's bringing these classics back to life. His expectation is that he'll be driving this around LA and that's what makes him happy. Also, I want that GT40 sound as my ring tone!
