Yes, me too and Iwas never and still am not a car person however like to watch people engineer and build out of things lying around. There are a lot of Russian and Armenians that build there own farm tractors and equipment out of old cars and other stuff. Very crude looking but the stuff works. Don't understand a word they say but again love watching them build. These are the rural folks that live meager life styles growing and raising there food for the year.
I really appreciate you spending your time and effort making these videos. My wife knows when I'm watching one, she says and I quote, " Is that a Jonathan your watching?" Must be something to do with the smile on my face. Stay safe mate.🇺🇸🇬🇧
Your one of the most talented fabricator welders I have ever seen. You take stuff that I would have sold for scrap & turn it into some nice & very unusual builds. Amazing. Thanks for showing your work on you/tube.
Thanks Jonathan for sharing. I like the fact when you see something that needs done, you do it. There is something in your fabrication ethic that doesn’t allow you to simply “make do”. While you may say you aren’t going to worry about body lines and other irregularities that little voice inside you tells you to do it right. 👍👍
Great fabrication skills , make something out of nothing , recycling from the metal pile , if you haven't got it , make it . Takes me back to my younger days . Good times . Keep up the excellent work Jonathan . Keep saving the classics . 👍 .
Enjoy watching your fabricating skills getting the door to look right... using that radius cut out of a piece of conduit to match the body line. Very satisfying. Nana sitting on the rear tire... best hot-rod shop mascot ever! She deserves those treats! Thanks for the channel. Stay safe.
I watch a lot of car shows and TH-cam stuff. This is my favorite. No fake deadlines. No drama. No working commercials into the video. Just great creativity. I vote tilt the windshield back. It will obviously make the truck go much faster. And, by the way, if this is your idea of not getting much done, I want to see a video of when you get more done than you expect. Great job. Love the cat.
Love your work on these home made cars. I love you take a bunch odd ball rusty stuff from different cars and make these cool cars. I still think of them as works of art. Just simply wonderful to watch. keep it up.
Jonathan, I love your videos. If I lived back there, I'd be over almost every day to help you for no charge. I'm retired and rebuild cars and trucks all the time.
Jonathan, I appreciate all of your videos. As I may have told you before, you remind me of my late Uncle Dwight who passed away in October of 2019 of diabetes complications and anticoagulant issues. My Aunt has not as yet gotten rid of his collection of cars, shop and tools. My cousins have a difficult time going into his shop. Thanks for your work. Take care of your breathing issues.
Your kitty kat! She's gonna know more about it than you do when it's done. Hockey pucks is a perfect fit for motor mounts. Pretty sure everyone that sends you stuff is not feeling obligated. But I think it's safe to say that we all appreciate and enjoy your videos. Every day is a learning experience for me. Thanks again.
Fabricating always takes longer than you think but your work is amazing. You have a natural eye about what looks right and you are on the money. Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍
Jonathan for starting with pieces out of the junkyard that most people would've never even picked up to look at your building one awesome pick up truck that anyone would be proud of I certainly would be good job
I know from watching you for years now. That you are a humble hard working man. Your word is your bond. I like to think that I am the same way. I never screwed anyone on a trade or deal of any kind. I believe that you are an artist. A good one. I bet you never think of it that way. But men like you are fading from our world. You prove that nothing is disposable. And everything can have a new life. This truck is a perfect example of your persistent personality. Thanks for sharing, sincerely.
You always go a bit farther than you intended because you very self critical and your a professional craftsman which is why we all love what you do Johnathan
I can not speak for any of the others but my thoughts on the packages that come for you just makes it feel as if I had something to do with helping to build your creations, and what you do is creat, I am amazed by your videos.
Go ahead, go overboard. If you didn't care how it was going to look when you were done, you'd probably be done already. But you want it to be right. There is 1 thing, though - trying to tell folks not to send anything isn't working. 🙂 I think they can't help themselves, and want to show their appreciation for making these shutdown days a little less monotonous...I know I appreciate it. Thanks! All the best to you and yours.
Thanks for this extremely interesting video series, you are so skilled, I even thought the dog crap burl was beautiful. You've taught me a lot of practical and life skills!
I wish he would show us were he is with the drag car too. I am afraid people comments on that project made him mad enough to stop showing that project. Some people should keep their comments to them self. But maybe if we keep asking he will catch us up on it.
It's coming along nicely. You do what you can do each time, and you are that much closer to getting it done. I know you push yourself, but even if you only get one tiny thing done, it's done! I have been watching for years, and I'm still amazed at how you do what you call simple things. Really enjoying it all! Thanks, and Meow to Ninja Catscan.
Amazing work! Your attention to detail in these builds really set you apart. I have seen many rat rods over the years but never one that looks as complete as what you always end up with and the fact that you truly build these completely from scratch is absolutely mind blowing to me.
Do the vertical lines from back to front lend well to an angled windshield? Angled might look out of place if it doesn't jive with anything, just a thought. Great work JW, as a Canuck it joys me to see you get excited over a bag of new pucks, heh heh.
I finally subscribed. Love what you do and how you do it. On the bodies I've made into roadsters I "thinned" the doors so they don't look like closed car doors with roll up window provisions. Since you are being picky on this build it's something to consider.
Your eye for making something from nothing and making it look good is amazing. You adapt, you modify, you make it fit, but the outcome never looks bodged, it always looks good and turns out great. That's called talent.
Look forward to seeing each new video you bring out, great to see highly skilled work like this, making a great car from very little, keep up the great videos!!
I have debated wasting your time with this post but decided WTH... I am 68yo and grew up with my mother telling me my father, whom I never knew, was an apparently super mechanic, I'm talking in the mid to late 30's early 40's, and a body man. She used to stress my father's expertise was in lead work. I never really understood the significance of what she was talking about until I watched you work. You are an artist...I have never seen anyone do the quality work you do. Mechanically or with body work....I watch every video you put out...Also...I am a cat guy...Love your kitty kitty...I had a dog-cat like that once too...
Really like your work! I know about the body lines, we called it creeping elegance. I do it all the time. I just can not do crappy work. Slap dash or slip shod. It is obvious neither can you, it all ok. Its a level of professional integrity that we need much more of in this country, The door jams seem to fit perfectly. this is gonna be a hell of a ride. Thank You for posting, D
Bottom bead looks great. Transitioning the top bead is a stroke of genius and a lot less work. Of course the cat scans will let you know if you did it right!
I think Nanna likes bein on video. And she likes you, for sure. Original, is the right term for this project. 💁🏼♂️ That sheet metal work is the bomb, J. Deciding as you go is great. You know your stuff. You get plenty done, each video. I understand changes and figuring out as you go along. Including finding materials “in stock”, to use. I really like that process. I guess I’m done here, for now. ✍️
Looking great like how you added that line using that tubing Ever little big is a giant move forward awesome work, yuou give me something to look forward too, Wish I was there helping you, day dreaming LOL Thank you
Jonathon, You have the best show on TV. I watch your show with my morning coffee before work. If you showed more of the metal work, cutting and grindin it would be great! You are a magician Man! Thanks, Rob
I like how you do your best to make everything match and yea after your done nobody can't tell and that goes to show how good you actually are at fabricating and I understand you saying you don't want everyone to feel obligated to send you stuff but honestly I'm glad they do because you keep putting out awesome videos
Hi Jonathan. Love the build looking great. Keep up the wonderful work. North Carolina Originals. By Jonathan. Rustic recycled brought to life again. Co. Sponsored by Ninja kitty studios. Inspection approved by Nana.Catscan. Enjoy all you do it your way. Thank you sir have a great day.:)
Way cool, the stuff you do and the way you do it. I enjoy how your projects seem to have a life of their own. Whatever your rough plans are when you start, events might come into play which force an evolution of those plans. It's pretty much how most people's lives unfold, but your videos put the tentative side of it right out in front. There are several other tubers doing this same sort of thing, but watching you do it is more fun. Stay after it, man.
Darn it. I missed a part. Jonathan can you start over? LOL. I looked pretty hard at this hot rod the other day. You and Rat Rod Bob showed me what to look for. Frame suspension steering n body fit. car was a already been a roadster but needed every thing reworked. It did have a A-frame front end. The Welds are what I looked at the hardest. My conclusion on this 34 chevy. Grind n Re-Weld every weld. Thanks for your keen advice. Sir.
Get up every morning and just have to see what you are doing...always amazed at how you go about a project...looking good Jonathan. Cannot wait to see it completed.. ..
You're a good man Jonathan. It's a rare quality in a world of internet tough guys. The content you provide us during these tough times is an escape from it. I'm fairly certain I can speak for most of us when I say, we genuinely appreciate you and your content. For me, anyone that has a one eyed cat is all good.
That's turning out good. That top body line could use a small radius little curve to get it down to that other lower one (if that makes sense) but thats only if your nit pickin'. I appreciate that about your work, you always strive for far better than the parts your using might allow! Thanks for sharing as always!
"Fabricating takes a long time, it doesn't seem like I got a lot done..." You know what you are doing and are using many skills and creativity to create art and beauty. You are adding value and love to it, it's not about efficiency.
The cat tries to steals the show eveytime. Love that cat. Car is great too. Thanks
Still enjoying work by a man who does it his way! Easy to learn from, and totally sensible to me!
My vote on the windshield would be to lean it back a little. Keep going I love watching the progress.
I think the windshield posts back at a slight angle will look best.
Keep going overboard, that’s why your stuff is so cool.
Turning a pile of rust into a cool car is why we watch. It's like watching a magician.
@@AliasUndercover I will second that!
It's like watching the creation of a masterpiece work of art unfold.
Love this channel.

Looks great! I love the cat, she's good company for you while you work, and she adds to the video as well.
I think the cat has a good chance of getting her own show.

Your my morning coffee and start of the day positive the world's ok!. More power to ya!. Thanks.
I'm kind of partial to the straight up and down windshield. Looking good so far. Just make sure your cat scanner continues to be well fed!😄
Great fabrication skills , make something out of nothing , recycling from the metal pile , if you haven't got it , make it . Takes me back to my younger days . Good times . Keep up the excellent work Jonathan . Keep saving the classics . 👍 .

Really moving quickly now,thanks for the entertainment in lockdown👍

Wish I had your foresight and skills but there you go I enjoy watching you do it.
Good Morning, Brother Jonathan!
Love this Build, Sir!
The leaned back window post looks good, gets my vote. Love the use of pieces of conduit to add a body line.
Not all artists use paint and brushes, some use a welder and a hammer, much respect to you Jonathan !
Those body lines are really nice!! Talk about making something out of nothing!! You never cease to amaze me!!
Love your work on these home made cars. I love you take a bunch odd ball rusty stuff from different cars and make these cool cars. I still think of them as works of art. Just simply wonderful to watch. keep it up.
Jonathan, I love your videos. If I lived back there, I'd be over almost every day to help you for no charge. I'm retired and rebuild cars and trucks all the time.
I think it's great people give items to help with your builds -- small way to say thanks for this excellent channel.
Jonathan, I appreciate all of your videos. As I may have told you before, you remind me of my late Uncle Dwight who passed away in October of 2019 of diabetes complications and anticoagulant issues. My Aunt has not as yet gotten rid of his collection of cars, shop and tools. My cousins have a difficult time going into his shop. Thanks for your work. Take care of your breathing issues.

Fabricating always takes longer than you think but your work is amazing. You have a natural eye about what looks right and you are on the money. Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍
Beautiful work as always. I think you’ll hit 100k subs by September.
Man, Minnow is your shadow. She loves her daddy.
Jonathan for starting with pieces out of the junkyard that most people would've never even picked up to look at your building one awesome pick up truck that anyone would be proud of I certainly would be good job
Was it a vote?, straight up, raise the rear body line, looks awesome, clear resurrection!
All the small details make it look so much better. Even though is time consuming it makes for a better finished product.
Totally amazed how you take what looks like a pile of rusted out junk and turn it into a running and driving car
A master in recycling
Jonathan the truck body lines look great ,,,,thanks for posting a new video ,,,,,,,learning new stuff all the time .
I know from watching you for years now. That you are a humble hard working man. Your word is your bond. I like to think that I am the same way. I never screwed anyone on a trade or deal of any kind. I believe that you are an artist. A good one. I bet you never think of it that way. But men like you are fading from our world. You prove that nothing is disposable. And everything can have a new life. This truck is a perfect example of your persistent personality.
Thanks for sharing, sincerely.
Just when I thought I couldn't enjoy your videos more, along comes Nana the Ninja cat. She's starting to be quite the star!
Looks Great!!! I am so amazed, how you make something out of junk parts.
Cheers
That panel came from the Bonnie &Clyde car 😂
You always go a bit farther than you intended because you very self critical and your a professional craftsman which is why we all love what you do Johnathan
Keep on doing it your way!
Sure enjoy watching you put that '29 together, gives me ideas for the build I'm doing.
"ALRIGHT"....."BUT ANYWAY".... GREAT JOB JONATHAN!!!!!! .....I LOVE IT!!
I love the way you reuse stuff. Thank-you for all your hard work.
It’s looking great. Thanks for sharing
I can not speak for any of the others but my thoughts on the packages that come for you just makes it feel as if I had something to do with helping to build your creations, and what you do is creat, I am amazed by your videos.
Man Overboard!!!! Good job.... starting to really take shape!!! Can't wait to see how it all turns out! SWEET!!
Nanna is quite a cat great little companion

Thanks for this extremely interesting video series, you are so skilled, I even thought the dog crap burl was beautiful. You've taught me a lot of practical and life skills!
I enjoy the fact that you don't let a panel patch slow you down. Nothing's a problem that can't be solved.
looking good.. could we get a video on the triumph drag car after you finsh this one.
I wish he would show us were he is with the drag car too. I am afraid people comments on that project made him mad enough to stop showing that project. Some people should keep their comments to them self. But maybe if we keep asking he will catch us up on it.

Hey Oakland Maryland! Alright!! I used to live in Cumberland! Cool! These videos are the best!
Looks good. Then everything you build looks good. I'm anchusa to see the boat when you get that done. Thanks for sharing.
Anxious?
Amazing work! Your attention to detail in these builds really set you apart. I have seen many rat rods over the years but never one that looks as complete as what you always end up with and the fact that you truly build these completely from scratch is absolutely mind blowing to me.

My opinion. Windshield leaning back. Looking forward to the next step 😎. Enjoy watching you do your thing.....
It’s funny how I/we all look forward to these videos, I’ll quit what I’m doin to catch up on this, thanks!
Your eye for making something from nothing and making it look good is amazing. You adapt, you modify, you make it fit, but the outcome never looks bodged, it always looks good and turns out great. That's called talent.
The refinements make a quality build. Nice work. We all like your style.
Thanks for the video, and keep it coming. regards from Holland !!!!!
Look forward to seeing each new video you bring out, great to see highly skilled work like this, making a great car from very little, keep up the great videos!!
As always Jonathan excellent. Can't wait to see the truck done.
Jonathan this is coming out so well! This is turning into my favourite yet. Top job.👍😍

Thats looking great, i like seeing this come together! The cat is not gonna let you forget the treats😂
Well done with this project and you keep up the great work. Thumbs up and thanks.
This one's going to be awesome I appreciate you going overboard 👍
Just like bubble gum the more you chew it the tougher it gets.
Love the videos!
The work is Nena approve .....so the pace is perfect JW .....👍
This is really going to be a good looking Hot Rod. I think the cat scan shows a straight up windshield post!
30 30 Truck is looking great. Thank you for sharing.
Bottom bead looks great. Transitioning the top bead is a stroke of genius and a lot less work. Of course the cat scans will let you know if you did it right!

I'd lean the windshield back a bit but like you say either way would be just fine
This is really shaping up to be a beautiful truck! Go overboard Jonathan, we got our life preservers on to follow you!! xox
That idea of rolling that body line on the door to the cab would look cool I think.
Looking fantastic mr and catscan is doing a fantastic job
It gets better looking everytime! Good job!
That's turning out good. That top body line could use a small radius little curve to get it down to that other lower one (if that makes sense) but thats only if your nit pickin'. I appreciate that about your work, you always strive for far better than the parts your using might allow! Thanks for sharing as always!
This is amazing what you can do with scrap, one man's trash, another man's treasure... Love that cat!

I worked at a classic car restoration shop for a few years. We always had piles of parts after a project. Inspired to make something of them now.
ROFL " It looks like we're gonna do body work. I shouldn't but. yea I do" Yep thats Jonathan.
