You have to admire Jay for not only letting his guys work on their own projects, but sharing those projects with us alongside his. He's a class act for a boss giving praise for their hard work and skills.
Please start a second channel showing the craftsmen doing the maintenance and restoration work. Watching them work might help inspire the next generation
Excellent idea, the people you see in the videos (and also some you don't see) are all knowlegeable enthusiasts with both feet on the ground. No stupid scripted fights in this garage!
Yes, that'd be great. Watching people who know what they are doing, doing what they do best without any of the drama, repetition and general shallowness that comes along with cable tv would be amazing.
Restoration blogs= Best episodes!! Even the men working there seem to be genuine enthusiasts and just nice people. I can tell they really like working for you. It's clear when Jim thanks you in the end for allowing him to fulfill his personal dream of building his Lotus.
This is how life should be, finding out where your interests lie and then indulging in them and sharing them with others. I think Mr. Leno is one of the happiest people on earth.
Jay is the guardian of some extremely important vehicles and he handles the responsibility with tremendous love and respect. The relationship with his guys is obviously handled likewise. Jay's garage is hallowed ground.
I keep going back through these restoration vids and I really enjoy the mutual respect and appreciation jay and his expert craftsmen have for each other.
I want to thank you for doing what you are, sharing your collection with this generation. Not only do you show cars that would never be seen even in a museum, but you show them driving as well as the internal workings of these amazing vehicle and explain them in a way that can create a love for them in others. We're only a few years apart, I grew up loving car's, bikes and aircraft and saw most museums and small airports in and around California, but none of them offered what you do. Thank you, not only can my brother and I enjoy your show but so can our kids and grandkids. God bless you, I pray you can continue for a lot more years.
Jay, I've said it so many times but THANK YOU...from a humble Texan I offer my sincerest appreciation...you are a national treasure and I am not speaking in hyperbole
I like the restoration blogs because they show real engineering and problem solving that goes into restoring a car. Even if you have a fortune, you can't just run out and buy parts that don't exist. The way they are able to re-create and 3D print parts is truly amazing. Great work.
This is by far the best part of Jay Leno's Garage channel. Seeing the ingenuity and detail that's going into the various restorations is fascinating. It makes the point well that restoration is a meticulous business where time spent and care taken has immense rewards. For me too they could be hours long! Kevin Malone Durham City UK
There's honestly no other shop in the world that i would trust to modify historic cars like these. The work you and your craftsmen do is so impressive and inspiring
I actually got a little surge of excitement when you said you were getting that Brough Superior SS80 running that hadn't run since 1969. It's a great thing your doing, bringing history to life and keeping it living longer, and I, for one, really appreciate it. I think this will be your legacy, more so than your TV shows and comedy.
Gotta be a hard-core enthusiast to do what Jay Leno does with restoring these cars. I love that this series takes 'regular' guys into this world of automotive styling and technology and that it introduces us to the people who keep the whole thing alive. As a 'fringe' auto guy I like the finished products Jay shows the most but this stuff is also 'real Jay Leno.' I also appreciate Jay's dedication to storing authentic parts when he updates brakes and transmissions and tires and ignition systems for the roadability of older cars. I am of the type who appreciates 'restomod' processes for keeping fantastic styling, craftsmanship and the bulk of the engineering 'alive.'
If you ignore everything about Jay Leno's Garage, you would find he does a lot for other people. You are not supposed to hear about his generosity but occasionally the media gets wind of it & covers it. Case in point, a few years back, Jay helped the family of a Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty, but the media learned about it, and thus it was in the press. But only his accountants know of everyone that he helped.
Jay is just the coolest person...not only does he have this amazing knowledge and passion for cars, but he allows his friends and employees to use his shop/rotisserie’s n tools and who knows what else. I never thought I’d enjoy this man to the extent I do, growing up watching him every now n then in the 90’s and whatnot. He’s such a wonderful man. And the guy just thanked him for ‘letting him do this’!! Goes to show that he really *is* just helping just to help fellow car guys work on their cars...feels oddly heartwarming knowing that people like him are out there.
Nicely makes up for the Ferrari promo that CNBC made you do. At 16:14 , the look that says that this isn't the first time Jay decided to interrupt and talk over the guy with the details.
i love ferrari but know jay does not so i i was a little surprised when he did that episode ferrari doesn't need the support but i can see why cnbc would want an episode. but i don't understand the ferrari hate
Man that Cunningham is simply amazing, I wasn't even aware of that car before this channel. Keep up the great work Jay - it's simply a joy to watch cars be restored "right" - not with some phoney-bologna reality show deadline.
It is humbling to see Jay offer a "sanctuary" where Men (and Woman, no doubt) can exemplifie their Passion. In this current World of debauchery it's very refreshing. Thank You Mr. Leno.
What a great video. The restoration blogs are my favorite also, just the need to be a few hours long! LOL Such detail and craftsmanship is very rare these days. Thank you for the inside look Jay!
Great to see you allowing your guys to work on their own projects, when time permits. The proper tools and equipment necessary to do full restorations are not cheap. Definitely a benefit for the folks you employ.
Its great that he keeps all these rare old vehicles alive so somebody else can enjoy them down the line. Of course we all know Jay will live forever, so if you would like to own one sometime soon, don't hold your breath!!! :)
Jay, I was co-founder of Madera Concepts with Tony and Jeff. We started the business out of my old cabinet shop while the three of us were working for Clenet Coachworks back around 1979. We parted company in 1995 when I branched off into specialized industrial manufacturing. There is an interesting story of an Indonesian gentleman who specified Rolls Royce build him a 1-off Rolls Royce sports car. Rolls worked on the design and informed the customer he would have to purchase 12 cars, not one. He said okay, I will put one at each of my homes. Metal Crafters of Costa Mesa was selected to build the cars and Madera Concept was sought out by Rolls Royce to fabricate accenting wood treatments. Rolls Royce kept their word to the customer (who was a Rolls dealer as well) and fabricated the cars for him. In their crafty way, the car design remained but was added to the Bentley brand.
Those were all very nice cars. My favorite was the 1966 rear wheel drive. I always enjoy watching Jay Leno videos, he really not only knows cars, but knows how to talk to people about cars. That's something hard to find. Thank you for making the video. - Mike Davis
I really like the restoration blogs and the videos of the older stuff. Way more interesting that the modern cars. I just love seeing so many different versions of what a designer thinks a car should be. I also liked the way Jim thanked Jay for the opportunity to have the time and space etc to do the Lotus, and Jay really offhandedly side stepped the the whole compliment. It's about the cars!
love how you know about every vehicle you have and how hands on you are with these restorations, some collector doesn't even know what vehicle they have.
I agree with Jim Hall. Thank you Mr. Leno for allowing him to pursue such a fantastic project in your shop. I am really looking foward to see his Lotus Cortina complete, as well as all of the other projects. Furthermore thank you Jay Leno & the Jay Leno's Garage team, just for sharing your adventures & love affair with these interesting vehicles. I enjoy every moment. Cheers Josh C.
Jay is amazing he's keeping the spirit and history of automobiles alive with all he does.If you're a real car guy you can understand what a great thing he's doing.I hope to meet him someday. I look forward to more restoration blogs.
I'm a little color blind, but that looked a lot like Olive drab ARMY Green to me.... Love these restoration blogs, Jay. I'd love to see more of your shop and meet the guys doing your work...
That may be true, from the little I know from reading and hearing about British manufacturers, they used a lot of military green after WW2 since they had loads of it. If I'm wrong (and it is a big possibility...) someone will surely correct me and enlighten us all :) Thanks in advance!
Not quite but it is close. I believe it is close to the original colour. I believe Jay is right when he says they didn't have bright greens before the 70's. I have never seen a bright green car older than that, not with original paint anyway.
Jay. How about doing a series of videos with the guys in your shop working on the projects. You have so much talent and the resources you put into your builds is amazing. Technology, techniques, fabrication and suppliers. I hope you're recording your efforts and wisdom somehow to pass on the knowledge you have to other builders and collectors. What an impressive operation.
I am a retired shop teacher and have many projects also but not in your league -they make me happy. Glad to see Jimmy working for you. Keep working on these and putting out updates- Thanks, Jay
yup.... like so many others, I love seeing "behind the scenes" and also enjoy the guys responsible for such great work. I don't remember seeing an episode of a typical "Jay Day".... answering the IMPORTANT questions like, "Is Jay on a schedule at all times?" "How does Jay choose what area of the garage he will sweep the floor?" and of course, "How much denim is REALLY in the closet?" Thanx Jay for being such a cool caretaker. We are lucky to have you share so much with all us strangers...
Love these blogs....Jay is doing car guys a great service...fascinating to watch. Also Jim made a point to thank Jay for letting him work on another of his dream projects....of course it also happens to be a REALLY cool car (the Lotus Cortina).
Roy Bennett I used to (envy him) when I had 2 or 3 cars. Now, though, I have nearly 40 (NOT bragging or gloating!) and, honestly, can't wait to get back to 2 or 3. Guess my priorities have changed lol.
Jay, you are king of all kings when it comes to automobiles! Give your team nice bonuses this Christmas! They seem to be great and good at what they do! Just a reminder, if you ever need someone to work for free on the weekends, I'm your man! I live close to your shop!
These are your best videos.I particularly like how you bring out and engage the hands on guys , showcasing their abilities . Their pride in their work shines through and their appreciation for the opportunity to build their dream cars . Hell even the Pepsi guy works for you now and Pepsi pays well lol .
Hello Jay. Thank you for these videos. They are by far my favourite you put out. Is there any chance you could do a video on the artwork on your walls? Those huge posters are mind-blowing!
Jay mentioned them a couple years back. He has a graphics shop blow up old ads and inkjet print them. They really look good. You can even do this with internet image files provided they are large enough.
its so cool that Jim can do his own car in the shop.... that shows he must be a good guy and a good mechanic. I always love to see all your vids. Oldtimers are pieces of the past, they had a story and a life to tell about. Thanks to all of you guys there in the shop, for this amazing work and safe those wonderfull cars.
Jay - your restoration blogs are always interesting. I admire you for your support of your staff (e.g., Jim getting to do HIS Lotus in your shop). Please stay healthy so we can see these blogs for another 20 years!
Thanks Jay for another behind the scenes tour. Really appreciate seeing the amount of work and care that goes into each project and what is most enjoyable is meeting your amazingly talented men who bring all their knowledge and skill to the shop. You are really blessed to have them as they are to have the opportunities thanks to you. Thank you all , love the show.
Jay's workers must be thrilled every time he does one of these tours, touching all the greasy motor parts than transfering the oil onto seats and polished chassis.
People. I have met these guys and they have forgotten more in 1 day then I could learn in a lifetime. Its so nice to see such a preservation of history with these cars and bikes. If I wasn't so sick. Id work for Jay for a month free.Just so I could learn and absorb the wealth of information that all of these guys contribute. I can attest his shop is amazing. Its car heaven for a gear head.
Don't know much about the Lotus, but I just love the paint job. I am hoping you will be keeping us up on the progress, on these great restoration blobs. Thanks for giving so many help with their projects.
If there where a Car Guy Nobel Prize, you would win it every year. Thanks for enriching my mondays.
Great work
You have to admire Jay for not only letting his guys work on their own projects, but sharing those projects with us alongside his. He's a class act for a boss giving praise for their hard work and skills.
Please start a second channel showing the craftsmen doing the maintenance and restoration work. Watching them work might help inspire the next generation
That's a great idea!
Excellent idea, the people you see in the videos (and also some you don't see) are all knowlegeable enthusiasts with both feet on the ground. No stupid scripted fights in this garage!
jay really should get an apprentice in, the right person would love this type of work.
Yep and get some local kids to help out teach them
Yes, that'd be great. Watching people who know what they are doing, doing what they do best without any of the drama, repetition and general shallowness that comes along with cable tv would be amazing.
I love that ending when the guy thanks Jay. You can tell he REALLY means it. Jay is so cool to say "hey it's fun".
Yes sireee. 😉😁 I agree.
These restoration blogs are some of my favorite videos you put out, thanks Jay!
Panthers Hockey Agreed! keeps me workin on my toys...
Yes. So many delicious details.
Hi Jay, great update! What happened with the VOLVO project?
+1 on that. Great the guys get to do some of their work too.
love to learn and see how he keeps these cars on the road
God bless Jay Leno...a true American of the old school. Look at all those happy guys working for him.
Restoration blogs= Best episodes!!
Even the men working there seem to be genuine enthusiasts and just nice people. I can tell they really like working for you. It's clear when Jim thanks you in the end for allowing him to fulfill his personal dream of building his Lotus.
This is how life should be, finding out where your interests lie and then indulging in them and sharing them with others. I think Mr. Leno is one of the happiest people on earth.
As its been said before, these resto-blogs are the best. Its the heart and soul of this whole classic car business...
Jay is the guardian of some extremely important vehicles and he handles the responsibility with tremendous love and respect. The relationship with his guys is obviously handled likewise. Jay's garage is hallowed ground.
That was a true heartfelt thank you at the end there, Jay. Glad to see you have good rapport with your guys.
I keep going back through these restoration vids and I really enjoy the mutual respect and appreciation jay and his expert craftsmen have for each other.
Woah, I've never been one of the first 500 on one of these videos before. These restoration blogs are so interesting.
That lotus is coming along beautifully. Love that color.
All for more restoration blogs.
Jay's garage is a true custodian of automotive history present and past
Aw the Merlin engine looks so cool.
Jim's lotus looks great !
i love that jay lets his guys do their own things too , that lotus is amazing !
The restoration blogs let people know that great looking and running classics don't just fall out of the sky......thanks Jay
I want to thank you for doing what you are, sharing your collection with this generation.

Jay really have the best of the best people working on the cars and they are not in a hurry. Would love to visit them.
Greatest car garage in the world
The Lotus Cortina is what makes my heart beat !!! The RR Merlin is something I'd love to hear running.
Gotta be a hard-core enthusiast to do what Jay Leno does with restoring these cars.

Jay is a treasure and one of the important person in this hobby
If you ignore everything about Jay Leno's Garage, you would find he does a lot for other people. You are not supposed to hear about his generosity but occasionally the media gets wind of it & covers it.

Markle2k FeelsBadMan
Markle2k Right. Because Ferrari needs to advertise.
Willy Lamb Did you enjoy the walking pace tour of Willow Springs?
i love ferrari but know jay does not so i i was a little surprised when he did that episode ferrari doesn't need the support but i can see why cnbc would want an episode. but i don't understand the ferrari hate
It was delightful. I think I counted 435,560,584 grains of sand.
Nice of Jim to humbly thank Jay for letting him do his build there. Respect is wonderful
Man that Cunningham is simply amazing, I wasn't even aware of that car before this channel. Keep up the great work Jay - it's simply a joy to watch cars be restored "right" - not with some phoney-bologna reality show deadline.
So nice to see the Lotus Cortina painted, that was my dream car as a young man in the 60's, can't wait to hear the Merlin roar !
It is humbling to see Jay offer a "sanctuary" where Men (and Woman, no doubt) can exemplifie their Passion. In this current World of debauchery it's very refreshing. Thank You Mr. Leno.
What a great video. The restoration blogs are my favorite also, just the need to be a few hours long! LOL Such detail and craftsmanship is very rare these days. Thank you for the inside look Jay!

Those guys working for Jay are adorable. Seems like a bunch of grown grey boomers having the time of their working lives.
Jay, I was co-founder of Madera Concepts with Tony and Jeff. We started the business out of my old cabinet shop while the three of us were working for Clenet Coachworks back around 1979. We parted company in 1995 when I branched off into specialized industrial manufacturing.

That was the fastest twenty minutes o me life. Thanks Jay!
Those were all very nice cars. My favorite was the 1966 rear wheel drive. I always enjoy watching Jay Leno videos, he really not only knows cars, but knows how to talk to people about cars. That's something hard to find. Thank you for making the video. - Mike Davis
Thanks Jay. Way to keep the old machines rolling.
That Lotus Cortina looks amazing, I can clearly remember being taken out as a child in my grandad's one of these. Happy and simple times.
Jay Leno, my man. In the vernacular of days gone by...you are one righteous guy.
The amount of information Jay carries around in his head is awesome. He must have a fantastic memory and recall ability.
I really like the restoration blogs and the videos of the older stuff. Way more interesting that the modern cars. I just love seeing so many different versions of what a designer thinks a car should be. I also liked the way Jim thanked Jay for the opportunity to have the time and space etc to do the Lotus, and Jay really offhandedly side stepped the the whole compliment. It's about the cars!

I wish Jay could live forever... He isn't replaceable!
These are the best. Watching cars, learning about them, it's awesome, but following guys inside the car's innards, i love it the most.
Jay is amazing he's keeping the spirit and history of automobiles alive with all he does.If you're a real car guy you can understand what a great thing he's doing.I hope to meet him someday. I look forward to more restoration blogs.
Everytime I open a Jay's youtube channel and see a new restoration blog video, I open a good beer and really enjoy these few minutes. Thanks!
I'm a little color blind, but that looked a lot like Olive drab ARMY Green to me....
Love these restoration blogs, Jay. I'd love to see more of your shop and meet the guys doing your work...
That may be true, from the little I know from reading and hearing about British manufacturers, they used a lot of military green after WW2 since they had loads of it. If I'm wrong (and it is a big possibility...) someone will surely correct me and enlighten us all :) Thanks in advance!
Perhaps it's surplus olive drab paint mixed with a touch of the cream paint used for the rest of the body?
That's what it looked like to me too.
Not quite but it is close. I believe it is close to the original colour. I believe Jay is right when he says they didn't have bright greens before the 70's. I have never seen a bright green car older than that, not with original paint anyway.
The colour is Citroen Sherwood Green, its from the late 1950s early 60s
Jay. How about doing a series of videos with the guys in your shop working on the projects. You have so much talent and the resources you put into your builds is amazing. Technology, techniques, fabrication and suppliers. I hope you're recording your efforts and wisdom somehow to pass on the knowledge you have to other builders and collectors. What an impressive operation.
I think these restoration segments are some of the best of Jay Leno's garage. Also it's nice to see Jay commend his guys.
I am a retired shop teacher and have many projects also but not in your league -they make me happy. Glad to see Jimmy working for you. Keep working on these and putting out updates- Thanks, Jay
Jay has one hell of a crew.
yup.... like so many others, I love seeing "behind the scenes" and also enjoy the guys responsible for such great work.
I don't remember seeing an episode of a typical "Jay Day".... answering the IMPORTANT questions like, "Is Jay on a schedule at all times?" "How does Jay choose what area of the garage he will sweep the floor?" and of course, "How much denim is REALLY in the closet?"
Thanx Jay for being such a cool caretaker. We are lucky to have you share so much with all us strangers...
Thanks Jay for letting your employee do his lotus in your shop. You are showing us a facet, of who you are.
i get more excited at these resto blogs than most other car eps. makes me wonder how much do these guys that work at his garage make.
Thank you Jay and crew for letting us hang out in the shop.
One of these days I want to meet Jay. What a wealth of automotive information. That shop is amazing. Good job!
Jay's restoring some of man kind´s most important work. Hope he keeps doing it for a long time.
Love these blogs....Jay is doing car guys a great service...fascinating to watch. Also Jim made a point to thank Jay for letting him work on another of his dream projects....of course it also happens to be a REALLY cool car (the Lotus Cortina).
Mr. Leno, you've got the greatest box of toys. I envy you.
Roy Bennett I used to (envy him) when I had 2 or 3 cars. Now, though, I have nearly 40 (NOT bragging or gloating!) and, honestly, can't wait to get back to 2 or 3. Guess my priorities have changed lol.
Except that they are not really his "toys" but history, hence the museum.
I enjoyed the shop tour. It's good to keep those old guys busy. Keeps them from getting in trouble. haha
That Benz engine is going to be a stunner when it's done. Thanks for sharing Jay!
Jay, you are king of all kings when it comes to automobiles! Give your team nice bonuses this Christmas! They seem to be great and good at what they do! Just a reminder, if you ever need someone to work for free on the weekends, I'm your man! I live close to your shop!
I enjoy seeing the restoration projects of rare classic cars.
I look forward to these shows.
That place must be what heaven is like.
way,way back I owned and drove a Cortina...never,till now,knew it was a Lotus...exact car Leno was showing...WOW!!!
I really enjoy restoration blogs the most of all your videos. Keep them coming and keep restoring our automotive history.
These are your best videos.I particularly like how you bring out and engage the hands on guys , showcasing their abilities . Their pride in their work shines through and their appreciation for the opportunity to build their dream cars . Hell even the Pepsi guy works for you now and Pepsi pays well lol .
I was looking forward to the Volvo update. We got the Lotus though and I have to say it's coming along rather nicely.
Dammit Jay. I'm trying to go to bed here!
Hello Jay. Thank you for these videos. They are by far my favourite you put out. Is there any chance you could do a video on the artwork on your walls? Those huge posters are mind-blowing!
Roberto Galea yes please excellent idea, would to meet the artists and the story behind the art even if it's from an old car mag.
Jay mentioned them a couple years back. He has a graphics shop blow up old ads and inkjet print them. They really look good. You can even do this with internet image files provided they are large enough.
mortier9 do you have the link to that video?
Have to admire Jay for his knowledge and passion for the subject. He firmly on the list of top ten people I would love to have a beer with.
Thanks for keepin it PC at 10:10 Jay. Much respect from the fish-people. 🐟🐠🐡
I could spend all of my time in this garage. I just love it.
its so cool that Jim can do his own car in the shop.... that shows he must be a good guy and a good mechanic. I always love to see all your vids. Oldtimers are pieces of the past, they had a story and a life to tell about. Thanks to all of you guys there in the shop, for this amazing work and safe those wonderfull cars.
Jay - your restoration blogs are always interesting. I admire you for your support of your staff (e.g., Jim getting to do HIS Lotus in your shop). Please stay healthy so we can see these blogs for another 20 years!
Thanks Jay for another behind the scenes tour.
Really appreciate seeing the amount of work and care that goes into each project and what is most enjoyable is meeting your amazingly talented men who bring all their knowledge and skill to the shop. You are really blessed to have them as they are to have the opportunities thanks to you.
Thank you all , love the show.
That lotus if freaking amazing!!
Hope you get going on that Detroit Electric soon. It would be so cool seeing an early 1900s car do a burnout!
Enjoy the car/motorcycle videos but these updates are my favorites. Look forward to many more years of your videos.
Thanks Mike
This is one of my favorite episodes. Also, it is just cool to see the size of those crank bearings.
Love the restoration blogs. Love the Cortina.
Jay's workers must be thrilled every time he does one of these tours, touching all the greasy motor parts than transfering the oil onto seats and polished chassis.
Jay Leno's garage= Moto Heaven.
The Cunningham is going to be a great looking car when complete. Hope you'll do a show on that one all on it's own.
People. I have met these guys and they have forgotten more in 1 day then I could learn in a lifetime. Its so nice to see such a preservation of history with these cars and bikes. If I wasn't so sick. Id work for Jay for a month free.Just so I could learn and absorb the wealth of information that all of these guys contribute. I can attest his shop is amazing. Its car heaven for a gear head.
Thanks Jay for all the hard work and employing such good men and women for the job.. Thanks... :)
Thank you Jay (and your team), for keeping alive all of thouse BEAUTIFUL and historic works of art!
THESE TYPE OF SHOWS ARE THE BEST.
Thanks again Jay. Love these updates and the education that goes along with them.
I absolutely love those old massive cars... you should do more on them...
Thanks for sharing the obvious immense amount of pleasure you get from restoration of some beautiful motors.
Don't know much about the Lotus, but I just love the paint job. I am hoping you will be keeping us up on the progress, on these great restoration blobs. Thanks for giving so many help with their projects.
You are a true gentleman Jay. Love to see your staff getting to build their dreams too!
