Its truly awesome that Jay goes so far with his restorations and cars. Employing all those people and preserving the weirdest cars, thats a true petrolhead right there
Seeing him use these old gurus is heartwarming. The fact they all get to enjoy the process and end results together
It still amazes me how someone can actually rebuild an old engine. I am lucky to stick a shelf or poster on my wall and do it correctly... :-D
Jay Leno employs more people in the car industry than some small countries.
Agreed, and that these guys are allowed to work on their own cars, pretty cool
not to mention preserving the skills and knowledge to keep them running.
"Stopping was more a suggestion than a feat " made me smile and made my day !
Jay Leno is such a real guy! His success never changed him. Strong character
Jay makes every Monday seem like Xmas for a 66 year old man and I am sure many others. Honestly one of the highlights of my week to watch his videos. Thanks Jay.
Thank you Jay from a Kiwi Lad, just turned 63 yrs young and loves your You Tube program. I did my Coach building apprenticeship back in NZ before moving to Canada. Your Crew are certainly talented.
Jay Leno living my dream.
my dream as well, friend
you don't have to just let it be a dream, you can go out and buy an all denim outfit too my friend. LIVE THE DREAM!
Everyone's dream :)
Ben P.
I've got the denim, a couple old cars that needs restored, and somewhat of a shop. What I seem to be lacking is money and time.
Still dreaming.
Critical Thinker for sure.
When I was little, I wanted to be something else every day: a pilot, an astronaut, a motorcycle racer, an adventurer, an inventor, ... Nowadays, I just want to be like Jay.
One thing I have always liked about Jay Leno and his collection is that he is never really in a hurry. All projects r getting done right and proper not rushed. Unlike other shows that show that they want it done in 2 weeks. Graveyard Carz being the exception, they do take their time.
It must be a dream to work for Jay. He's so cool with his employees using his place and tools to work on their own cars. I love these update videos too!
Matt Fields As long as your a pro. I wonder where he gets these restorers.
Matt Fields True. I wonder where he gets these restoration pros, and if they are full time or what.
If you were a pro restorer wouldn't you write a letter of introduction to jay for the opportunity to work for him?
It's a brilliant perk to attract the best in the field and to get their best work from them. To actually have that dream job you passionately care about is something very few will ever have.
It'll be guys from places that have retired and just want a few days a week job.
As it fills the week but they aren't pushed to the max like they would in a proper shop.
Be friends and people recommended I'd say and he probably just asks if they want a job and x terms.
As said a perk is doing your own jobs while being paid very few places allow that
It would be great to see an episode of meet the mechanics, where you round up all the talented craftsmen at the garage and get some of their history and examples of their best work. :)
one of them jay got onto overhauling
Two of the rarest things in this world, correct early chains and correct early tires. Times change. Thanks Jay, great again.
Nice to see Jay Lend keeping these guys working on cars that are antiques .
I like the chief fabricator Jim, he is so unassuming but obviously a super mechanic, and it's great that he gets to spend time on his own car.
Even has a little red wagon to move parts,what a place,Disneyland for car guys and gals ! Lenoland.
I like it.... Lenoland.
I didn't see that. :(

I enjoy all Jay Leno garage videos but enjoy the restoration blog videos the most. So much to see and marvel at with all the unique projects.
I enjoy this show.
Seeing how skilled Jay Leno & his crew is at restoring, antique, rare classic vehicles.
Preserving historical vehicles.
This is the only car and motorcycle show that I actually like bc it doesn't have any bullshit tantrums and reality show crap, they get directly to the point and stick to talking about the actual car or motorcycle from begining to end
And no horrible music!
YEAH!!
Check out Harry's Garage, Matt Pharah's onetakes, and NoriYaro for the more JDM side. All great channels that go straight to the point
Have you tried roadkill? i know it has some drama but still a fun show
Exactly! Why do the so called 'reality' shows always have loud distorted guitar music. The petrol head wants to hear the engine, exhaust or propeller, not some guitarist trying to sound macho.
These Resto Blogs just make me think of "This Old House". They're great looks in to the inner workings of a great restoration place!
i'm the furthest thing from mechanically inclined, but watching Jay's videos makes me realise how much I admire and appreciate quality automobiles...especially the steam cars and the old stuff...the craftsmanship is so remarkable in the pre 40's models
Love restoration blog. I also like how Jay lets his people work on their own projects. A good "boss" knows how to get the most of people by treating them right..
I'm so impressed that all this skill and expertise is being fostered and promoted. I hope these gentlemen can find young people to whom this can all be passed on.
Get some kids around to mentor. Young guys, say, in their 30's or 40's...
Young is a relative term XD , but yeah if they ever did that I'd apply immediately.
They won't though, nobody plans on dying, at least they have documented tons of information on these cars. I bet most his stuff will end up in museums.
Patrick Andrews Meanwhile the number of people that can develop a logic gate in minecraft increases by the day...
I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing (Jay's team uses IT...3D printing etc), but I agree. See also www.buzzmaven.com/2014/01/old-engineer-hammer-2.html
King of Fabricating vintage parts for these long lost vehicles!
The work they do is unbelievable. I bet they come out even better than the original cars were out of the factory. I always wanted to buy a restored 74 Mercury Marquis. My first car back in 81 right out of highschool. Ive been hoping that Jay would restore one so I could at least get to see one looking brand-new. Seeing these old cars fully restored is awesome. It's a beautiful work of art while it's being restored all the way through to when it's all done.
I am so glad that Jay has the finances and the desire to restore all these cars. They sure are making any new ones and these should be around for car enthusiasts to enjoy for decades if not centuries to come.
Those cylinder/water jackets! Works of art. And a months work each. Amaizing.
Every restoration blog another one is finished....kind of funny, but it shows how difficult this stuff really is.
I am simple man. I see Jay Leno's garage, I press like.
Me too, I like these videos from Jay Leno. He really seems to appreciate the engineering of a car, not just the appearance.
Jay Leno, you are my hero. It is awesome that you show the cars of the guys working in the shop too.
Jay I know i can't be far wrong in saying that most subscribers fine the Restoration Blogs to be their favorite!! I could watch this for a hour no problem . It is fascinating to see all the different projects in different stages of completion and talk to the guys that are doing the work. I was so pleased to see that you have lengthened them to close to 30 mins which is awesome!!
Good to see a swede help out keeping our motorhistory running !
Makes one proud :) Thanks Jay for all the great motor videos !
I never get enough from Jays Videos. My dream is opening my own shop or buying a house with enough room to build my shop. Jay your my inspiration man…
Jay, you are the man that gives hope to us "do it yourselfers". If you don't have a part make one!!
What I like about Jay ! He will show you something that you have never ever seen in your life ! A true Automotive Historian! Love those Vintage Large Displacement Engine Racers !
I do have a huge respect for this Man. I never cared watching his Late show with all those bimbos from Hollywood spewing their stupid bla bla bra and phony laughs!
But it gave him the means ($$$) to afford his true passion with men he really appreciate: artisans, real craftsmen. A rare breed nowadays. And giving them a unique place and equipments they need. Kudos to this great man. Honest!
That Bristol 403 is a beautiful car.
Oh the Rolls with the Merlin engine. Just fantaaaastic!
Is that a V12?
My parents had a black and gold ‘58 Dodge cornet with a hemi. Dad took it to the local drag strip a few times and always won his class. I loved that car and thought it was beautiful.
This was one of the most relaxing videos of the series.
That Bristol is beautiful, gorgeous car.
I've wondered if he's ever gotten or considered a Bristol. 'Bout time!
I see Restoration Blog in the title, I click fast... :)
This video is WAY more interesting that those in which Jay has some guest with a Mustang, Camero, etc. My whole family watches the Restoration Blog, even those members who are only mildly interested in cars.
Same! Love seeing the progress
Me too!
right right
Loved the one with the milk chocolate paint job. Never saw that color before on a car, it's so realistic you want to go over and start licking it.
Absolutely love the shop mentality towards craftsmanship. "Its done when its done because we're doing it right!" None of that slap a car together 3 days before SEMA or Barrett and push it in off a trailer while tightening things as it rolls. Lol!
Thanks for the updates Jay(and your techs and crew)!
I love that Jay employs all those guys who have so much knowledge
LOVE these resto blogs
These videos are so comfy. A man and his passion.
These "Restoration Blog" videos are my absolute favorite episodes, keep em coming. Man I would love a tour of the shop some day! Thanks Jay, this has been seemingly such a good fit for you, you seem natural and at easy, totally in your element doing this show.
Just awesome. Real people, real cars, real craftsmanship, real jokes. And really telling the story. Some of these are cars I'd never be interested in but your resto. blog makes them interesting.
Fascinating to watch such beautiful engineering and craftsmanship, that Cortina engine was in a terrible state, what an achievement to re-commission the original block and head. Really enjoyable episode Jay!
Thank you for the video
The car world should thank Jay for taking care of our automobil history, putting all that money into it.
I like that he is not just sticking to american cars but keeps a lot of european stuff aswell and that he actually
uses the cars, it’s not like a museum.
Thanks for showing it on YT too i love to see this stuff. :)
I’m no professional car guy but the amount of experience, skill and knowledge in Jays garage seems astounding. Jays no slouch either
I love how dry and sarcastic george is..
Tim Ritter thanks. Can't help it.
Great projects but an even better crew working on them!
It's a treasure to have guys like Jay restore and preserve important autos. Sharing these with our youth is the best way to keep them going and creates the retro cars we see today.
In as much as I enjoy your regular weekly featured car I REALLY enjoy your restoration blog.
Thanks for the walk around, looks like labour of love for your co workers.
Best car channel on the tube!!
Jimmy is my favorite one of Jay’s team, I’m always happy to see him in a video. He’s just got the right “happy at work” type attitude and, I guess you’d call it….charismatic(?) personality where he’ll joke around with Jay and not take everything too seriously. All of the guys are masters of their craft and I’d love to get to talk to any of them for a few minutes. It’s so cool The way they’re all very different in a lot of ways yet work extremely well together because of their love for cars and history.
Yet another of the many things I like and admire about Jay is how he finds and uses products and services and isn't shy about praising and recommending them. I've seen and heard a lot of disparaging remarks about him and his collection, with jibes about how he's a rich man indulging himself---and I'm sure those of us who love all the aspects of the automotive world have a few names we could call them under our breath, but just don't bother with them. I don't remember how long ago, or where, I heard or read it, but Jay and Mavis lived off his standup earnings and Jay banked his Tonight Show money for his collection. Automotive experts have commented on his thorough knowledge of automotive history and that he's a major influence in preserving steam cars in particular. I agree with those who compliment him on his employment of craftsmen and wish and hope he and they will find younger men and women to which to pass this vast pool of knowledgeable talent. Stay safe, everybody.
I liked that. The boiler parts were at AutoZone.
Man those guys have everything,I'm going to head on over and see if they have parts for my 1959 Maytag washing machine.😆
If they don't have them they can always 3D print them.
Yes, and they got the Merlin V-12 from Pep Boys.
Woo! Love these Restoration Blogs. Gives you a look at a bunch of cars at once, and get to see parts that you might not normally get to see. I hope when they are finished we get another Botafogo video, and more in-depth videos on the other aero-engined cars.
I would volunteer to polish the copper on the Botafogo. When I got done with it, it would shine like a copper mirror/chrome.
These are the best videos on TH-cam. I wish they were weekly.
I think Mr Leno is way under appreciated. He could be the Howard Hughes of cars, but instead of being a recluse, he shares his joy with all. Is there another collector/enthusiast even remotlely on the scale of the collection he shares with us?
"It'll be done on Friday."
Not the 13th guys!
...on A Friday... Lol
_"This is __*__my_*_ Porsche 911..."_ but _" _*_We_*_ ran low on water..."_ LOL
Restoration blogs are always the BEST!!!!!
Jay's getting me more interested in old cars. I can't afford one and don't have the room for it anyway, but I have bought a few scale models of my favorites ( '59 Caddy, and '59 Chevy Impala) . Buying quality models and seeing his collection is the next best thing to collecting real cars. . Sure looks like a fun, yet challenging hobby. Thanks for sharing Jay !
Jay is awesome and I look forward to seeing every single episode.
1960 Plymouth was the last and largest fins Jay. I have a one. One off trim year is the worse thing. Took 11 years to find the last bit a Plymouth trunk emblem.
Wow! Every segment is a wow. A Bristol? Beautiful. Heard of them, but never saw one. And then his aero-engine monsters just keep coming.
It is so wonderful that Jay is restoring these gems for history’s sake, I live on the east cost I would love to take a couples days to go through and look at those masterpieces in person, Thanks for the vids Jay.
Thanks for the restoration Blog Jay.. There always my favorite "Jay Lenos Garage" episodes!
Those guys do have the coolest toys.
Garage goals
Love Jay's Garage Family!! Such respect for all !! Thanks Jay!! ♡M
I got 720p. Freezes on 1080p. Thanks for the walk around Jay. New Zealand.
Jay needs to add a few live streaming webcams showing these craftsmen working.
If you have ever worked in a shop sometimes what happens in a shop stays in a shop lol!
Commodorefan64 The ol’ “hope no one saw that”. Lol.
very true
cameras all pointing at wall in 2 days
jay west coast
Love these project videos.
You know your engine guy is good when hes old enough to be your father. I wish i knew HALF the things my dad had FORGOT about cars and engine work. Jay has a REAL master working his 911 engine room
One of if not the best car collection and restorations garage -love the diversity
Thanks Jay you got some great machines and fine individuals working to make the rides safe again!!!
What a Shop! That Imperial sure brought back memories, I used to get them for around $50.00 and run them in the Demo Derby's back home. Darn how many was there? A Bunch...
You should feel bad
What a great boss Jay Leno is the amount of time, money and dedication to be the custodian of such a varied collection is incredible! He lets his staff also work on their own projects as well utilizing his garage, tools and resources is truly a testament to what a true gearhead he is, I hope he starts a program for the younger generation to carry on the tradition of a being onto cars!
Love the line,"it'll be done on Friday. Not this Friday, but Friday."
Hey, Jay, why don't you, Bernard and Company try to set a new STEAM land speed record, currently at 148.308 MPH. You guys can do it!
Your poor guys are total masters can't wait to hear a Merlin on Webber's 😂
The Oliver Pickard do Webber's have a specific sound?
Camhin1 Webber's are basically the best breathing carb ever made (why they were used so much in racing) so the intake noise should be biblical
...And it's 'Weber' by the way...
yes it is please tell autocorrect
Yeah I cant' wait too ;)
I had the opportunity to tour the Henry Ford Museum unattended one evening after closing. It was an experience that only improves with memory. As a terminal gearhead, having Jay Leno show me around his garage and collection would rival that venerable experience. Jay and I are close in age so there's a lot we could reminisce about both automotive and culturally.
In 1973 I drove a new 911T from Springfield, Illinois to Toledo, OH on a dealer trade. Loved that car! It was so tractable - pulled like a tractor. Drove a new 911 E back home. Didn’t care much for it.
Awesome
i love these. fascinating to see the cars coming on. makes me need a project of my own
While I love watching the drives and all the info on the individual cars, I think I like these restoration 'blogs' the best! Getting to see what's going on in the 'shop' has ALWAYS been something I enjoyed and there is no better place for that then Jay's garage. The guys who work there are no doubt absolute top craftsmen but beyond that, they are the luckiest guys on this planet... Where can you work on the most incredible cars around AND get to work on your OWN projects? It's a dream come true for sure.... More updates please!!!
30 minutes of joy, thank you so much guys.
Great to see all the work going on as well as a little history on just how long Jay has owned them. One complaint...the volume was way too low.
JJ Mac
I agree with you on the low volume. And I have my hearing aid in
The the colour of the green stripes on the Lotus Cortina are unlikely to have anything to do with the RAF, who have always used blues of various shades, even for their road vehicles.
However, it looks to me to be the same shade as post-1957 British Railways Multiple Unit Stock green. This was rumoured to be ex British Army paint; very quickly cream lining (US "striping") was added to make the colour less unattractive. On the Cortina, the green is a small area against the white,, so it looks acceptable.
Thank you so much for prducing such fascinating films. The whole team's enthusiasm exudes from every pore - or core.
Dupont Dulux Sherwood Green 98411-D
It looks pretty similar to the colour the GPO used to paint its "Post Office Telephone" vans.
Sherwood Green www.lotus-cortina.com/paint/paint.htm
Whichever paint it is, I expect Colin Chapman bought it at a bargain price !
Pwj Bishop www.lotus-cortina.com/paint/paint.htm
Always amazed how Jay has enough time to take care of all his cars. It's like 5 full time jobs. Great memory too!
Jay is one of the best, if not the best Embassador for Automobiles.
Absolutely love this Blog series, but where are all the apprentices to learn from these aging Masters of their crafts? :(
2of2DCH at a junk school teaching them garbage techniques that don’t work.
YESSS MY FAVORITE EPISODES!!!
All the expertise and commitment collected in Jays shop is incredible.
I really love these resto blogs - the nuts and bolts of the operation.
I was hoping to to see something about the 66 volvo wagon with the plan to put the polestar v8 in it
Stance on this Dodge is perfect, don't drop it :)
the guys working in Jay's shop must be the envy of car restorers the world over..what an awesome job and working conditions if your an artisan like these guys..So much talent.
Its so great to see Jay employing all these guys. You can tell they all really enjoy their work!
