    This ep is so wholesome, you clearly have a great bunch of mates. This build has also been a ripper journey so far, can't wait to see the finished car!

    I love how Woody's intonation for the voiceovers sounds like he's spelling a name over the phone and his normal voice sounds more like ordering a beer from across the pub. True versatility.
    This thing is so nice. Truly the culmination of learning a shitload and saving like a nun for years, by the look of it.

    As much as I love a "she'll be right" Aussie car build. It's awesome when you see a build done right the first time, with the right gear and a well thought out plan. Considering it's Al's own ride, I expect nothing less. Such a great, humble crew, makes this one of the best channels around.

  • @gnomad42
    @gnomad42 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Watching TSF and your mates putting this together is like therapy for me too. It makes me feel like I can get my own projects done (eventually) and reminds me to call my mates to hang out and help out - I don't have to do it all myself.

  • @70XU1
    @70XU1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    What a great episode. So good in fact I put my skid factory tshirt on and went straight out to work on one of my cars!!
    Brilliant channel. When the genuineness and friendship comes out of the screen like that it's hard to miss. Well done guys.

  • @stateofdisarray679
    @stateofdisarray679 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a prime example why I prefer to watch car channels from Australia. Always extremely informative and entertaining. I'm always learning something new as well. One of the best channels on TH-cam in my opinion. Do yourself a favor people and subscribe.

    This is what car shows on TV are missing: an amazing build with in-depth explanations of how it is done, with mates stepping up to help get it done in time for the Grom's formal.
    So great to watch and so motivating to get my own projects done!

  • @utha2665
    @utha2665 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great episode Woody and Al, really enjoyed it. Really nice to see all your mates pull together for you like that to make some massive progress on the Crown. Just a bunch of guys, some well known to us, some maybe not so much, but all just having a grand old time doing guy stuff. It doesn't get any better than that! And, Al's wife keeping everyone fed, Roger sniffing crotches, tossing back a couple of Cocoas, etc, etc - just "deadly" as my Canadian friends would say :)
    Cheers and Thanks, Sev

    Nice to see. My first car was a 1969 crown, same colour. Fully imported model with bucket seats, four? on the floor manual and tinted windows. It even had an autotune radio. Written off when an unlicenced and unregistered drive came through a GiveWay sign.

    Just as silkysixx said, Woody's voiceovers reminds me of the Leyland brothers doco's I used to watch when I was young, maybe he is Mal or Mike's son. Keep it coming boys I am liking what you are doing. You are right about keeping interest going Al, have a WB ute sitting over 15 years, had 2 heart ops and still poking along. One day...

    I remember weeks like this years ago when we were rallying our Datsun 1600 and Turbo Bluebird.
