I watch these videos and truly enjoy every single one you make in the main reason why is because I feel these builds obviously are some of the most exceptional vehicles ever built even though I will never be able to afford one I can totally appreciate every detail put into them. I have been an off-road fabricator for 20 years and a heavy equipment mechanic and welder for 13. I completely understand the thought process and the physical process involved in building these machines. It's more so a true work of art. All the way down to finding the right people to have the right team. It's absolutely wonderful and brings great joy to my life. Thank you. One love.
Wow you have four vehicles in there that I have never seen you bill before I am very excited for three of them. And man you guys have been pumping those vehicles out. Totally awesome just marvelous. It bring so much joy to my life. Simple things man. Well simple meaning. I get to drink a cuppa coffee while watching these videos so simple pleasures for me. Lol. Thank you again. ONE LOVE
Dear Jonathan You are the most organized guy I never met . I am amazed at how many cars are being build to such high quality at the same time ? The attention to detail is aerospace quality , Thank you for taking the time to make these video's Pete M
It's good to see the Rolls Royce in the video. I have a lot of good memories from the over 30 years that I owned it. I'm thrilled that it will have a new life as an Icon derelict car.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I always wondered what your shop looked like from the inside. Wishful thinking but I hope to one day commission ride. Keep'em coming.
Great tour Johnathan. If your camera has a mic input, then a lapel mic might be the way to go. If not, then talk your way through the video, ( for use as reference ), and then replace the dialog. That will keep some spontaneity, but allow you to change what you don't like about the first take. I have heard that any steady cam requires practice, so I think that you did a fine job for first use. Your videography skills have improved significantly over the past few years, and so will the S/C operation. Have you ever thought of doing a reformer golf cart? You could build a carrier on the back of your Ward RV and take it with. That way you have something to drive around the camp ground. Speaking of camp grounds, Annette's Mono Village Resort, in Bridgeport, CA. owns a really clean, straight, early Bronco. Don't know if they could be persuaded to part with it though. Thanks for the tour.
The RC car shocks for that little door was awesome to see I was curious ones you brought it up in the past and now I just got to see it that is cool cool
Just curious if you could sell a client a separate "bronco" badge for them to put on after they receive the truck. Doesn't seem like Ford could do anything about that. Also, when is your next Jay Leno garage appearance? Keep up the amazing work!
I REALY dig the Zephyr! I know you guys do about anything and the FJ has been your bread and butter, but has the Bronco suddenly become something everyone wants? Nice job guys, keep it up.
I have watched your previous video from a while ago where you have shown your backyard with future derelict projects. There was (correct me if I am wrong) a rolls royce silver shadow with some mould in the interior. I remember that you have said that it will piss off the puirists when it will be finished. Going back to 300 SL I could say that I have expected that. I love such approach :). Could you tell me what happened with that Silver Shadow? You are a great inspiration for me. Keep up with a cool projects and videos.
I was hoping to see the ICON FJ60 Maybe next time. My girlfriend and I got a shop tour many months ago and would love to do it again but in more detail and with you as a guide. Are we going to get a video of the truck you took to SEMA?
Too many things for the wish list. Thx heaps for the shop tour, I've had it in the back of mind to ask for one. Perhaps one day we could meet some of the crew?
Amazing shop. So many great projects you probably haven't missed a day of work in 20 years. Its weird that you guys gravitate toward 40's-50's sedans, D-200's and FJ's. Kind of all over the road in terms of genre. But at the same time, will do almost anything it seems. Do you choose a project solely on the customers desire or do you need to "feel it" as well? Also, is your CNC work done in house? I didn't see any shop machinery. P.S. good job on the tour. You make a good, well spoken tour guide.
Cool video. Awesome shop. You guys need a big ass booth at the LA Autoshow. Even if it's in the tuner dungeon. But rather the coach-built room with Singer and Eagle (I know it doesn't exist). Only upgrade you need in the whole place is to replace the fluorescent in the showroom with LED spotlights. Boo on fluorescent. Are there skylights in the shop?
Jon, is there a reason you go with GM power? Jeep should have a Mopar IMO... Love your work, so much fun to watch! When I find a Desoto wagon I'll be calling you.
How did the Rolls Royce turn out?Also interested in how you worked in with Australian design rules re seat belts, customisation, and powerplant modification etc.
Wow thanks Mr. Ward for another tour . You and your crew build some amazing TOYS. A and you have a great TOY SHOP. Wow looks like a fun place to work. Almost christmas yo Santa I know what I want this year. The 59 merc or the ariel. thanks again tim scott la luz nm 88337
I would love to see also. 1958 Volvo duett wagon or Volvo 1961 p1800. Lol I am not a Volvo fan but those two little cars would be awesome to see built up in your style
Jonathan, in regards to the off-road vehicles, do any of any clients use them for hard off-road use? What is the most mileage on a ICON vehicle? Thank you.
+Jonathan Ward Sorry if I missed this somewhere but you seem to resell a lot of trucks you made for other people. Is it so high profile people don't have to worry about selling a used auto? I do enjoy your TH-cam listing videos but just wondering why you offer it or why people choose to resell them through you. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Dear Jonathan. I was wondering what would you do if one day someone came to your shop with 300 Sl Gullwing and asked you to make a derelict out of it. Would you do it?
There is some strange background audio interference or something going on. I can't tell if it is your shop tools in the distance or just something with the microphone/audio of the video itself.
Maybe instead of Br you could just do the word Icon in the bronco font along side the logo of the horse. Looks a bit strange with just the 'Br'. I bet those oil stains on that carpet are bugging you, i'd be rippin it up and painting it for easy clean. Love your work.

Great tour - Amazing workshop. Always like watching your videos!
Thanks for the tour. Things are looking great as always at your shop. The steady camera worked great too.

Can't wait to see them finished.

Awesome thanks for another great video Jonathan.
That Super Bird is going to be freaking awesome!
Great Video. I'd like to see more vid's featuring the shop and see some of the work as its being done.
Great tour. I love your shop, it is way cleaner than mine.
Just curious if you could sell a client a separate "bronco" badge for them to put on after they receive the truck. Doesn't seem like Ford could do anything about that. Also, when is your next Jay Leno garage appearance? Keep up the amazing work!

Great workmanship it's a great Credit .to your staff and you.!!
BUILD THE "WARD" ASAP!! OMG I would LOVE to see that come to life! *crosses fingers* :D
@14:27 Looks like someone wants to dabble in watch making! Inspired by the Bell&Ross watches I'd say. Awesome stuff as always
Living the dream! Keep it going.
thanks for the awesome video I really enjoyed it

Thank you for the awesome tour, can't wait to see what those builds turn out like!
Are there plans for that white Bentley?
+Jonathan Ward
Ah I see, definitely a cool ride!

I would love to look out my office daily to see a audenauer outside my window!
I would love to see also. 1958 Volvo duett wagon or Volvo 1961 p1800. Lol I am not a Volvo fan but those two little cars would be awesome to see built up in your style
What was the white foreign sedan you skipped that was hanging out by the Reformer dodge? a project or just someone's ride?
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the tour and just wished I could have understood a few parts better.
I like the roof on that old Merc!
Thank you very much
Jonathan, in regards to the off-road vehicles, do any of any clients use them for hard off-road use? What is the most mileage on a ICON vehicle? Thank you.
I thought I've seen old 4Runners in the yard in the background of some of your videos. Anything on those?
Wow that GMC dash what a difference! Bummer about the bronco ford bs. Not a fan of the raised white letter tires huh ha. Thanks for the video
+Jonathan Ward Sorry if I missed this somewhere but you seem to resell a lot of trucks you made for other people. Is it so high profile people don't have to worry about selling a used auto?

"A lot" was a poor choice of a word on my part. Thank you for the answer.
please PLEASE tell me youre putting the right transmission in the superbird
That RV is going to be sick I'm sure. can't wait to see that. Bummer about the audio, but great video nonetheless.
Please more info on the Ferrari! ThanksCorrie
Dear Jonathan. I was wondering what would you do if one day someone came to your shop with 300 Sl Gullwing and asked you to make a derelict out of it. Would you do it?
Nooooooo, I was hoping to see the Blazer that you previewed on Instagram!
What's your annual green tape budget?
whats your your round time on your cars??
Thank you for the tour! I can tolerate the audio issue.
American made wheels??? Hell yea count me in!
what is the size of shop?
There is some strange background audio interference or something going on. I can't tell if it is your shop tools in the distance or just something with the microphone/audio of the video itself.
+Peter Oliver just bad audio
+Peter Oliver its the sound of the steady cam
Maybe instead of Br you could just do the word Icon in the bronco font along side the logo of the horse. Looks a bit strange with just the 'Br'. I bet those oil stains on that carpet are bugging you, i'd be rippin it up and painting it for easy clean. Love your work.
Audio problems? Need to speak louder and clearer but your video is great
Or 1946 ford sedan. Lol. I'm such a dork. I know. Lol. ONE LOVE

Could have been a great video but I din't hear anything :(
So much work to do
There is a lot of money out in the wild.
