    I'm glad to see you are back. I was beginning to wonder if you were still working at all. Can't wait for more videos.
  • These videos are absolutely priceless to the 'newbies' in the vintage auto restoration hobby - supplying tooling/material sources websites, etc in the comments for each video would be awesome as well. Thank you so much for these vids - don't worry about making the edits perfect, just content and techniques/tricks of the trade/skill are most important.

    Thanks for posting I have a 31 tudor deluxe I've been told they had the same front seats and this is giving me a preview of what I will see when I get started on them.
  • I’m really glad that you are showing the finishing of the Victoria! That is what got me hooked on your channel. I also like the fact you are showing how to improvise. That is vitally important to car restoration, but it’s not always easy to figure out if you’re trying to be true to original! Thanks for the videos!
  • great to see your back and giving it another go, keep at it!
  • Your videos are perfect (love your genuine honesty). Your overall restoration knowledge and talent are the best of the best!

    Great to see new content on this project. I need to re-visit your playlist on this car just to be sure I have seen all of the segments/parts. As always, FINEST quality work !!!
  • Congratulations everyone, these vehicles will be so much better than when originally manufactured. It's just a brilliant result all around.
  • Great job on the editing. Nice use of B roll. Upholstery is way more complicated that it first looks.
  • More stuff like this PLEASE. Especially important is the "art" of finding reasonable substitutes for no longer available materials==as well as product names and or sources. I restore Alfas and its hard to get excited about shipping costs from Europe that are more than the product itself

    I really enjoy your videos. They are some of the best of their kind on YouTube.

    Mark, I can’t adequately express how much I appreciate and enjoy your YouTube videos. The care and creativity you and your staff put into each component of each car is inspirational for those who truly love old cars and cherish bringing them back to life. Glad to have you back! I remember that you were looking for an editor when you last signed off…surely there’s someone who can help you hone your archived footage into gems like this video. Thanks! —Don
  • Great to see your operation again, it is just so impressive. You tell a good story and will find your speed with YouTube videos. The key is consistently posting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

  • So nice to have your channel back! I bought a heavy duty sewing machine a couple of years ago and really surprised how much I've been using it on projects. I've never heard the term "chicken scratch" or seen that texture before. It's pretty close to a texture called "haircell" I spec'd on vacuum formed Peterbilt interior parts back in the day.
