@@PaulOelklaus Sounds familiar but you did it! Most give up lose interest and they never see the road again. Car is incredible. Cant fathom the amount of effort that went into this! Fact that you drive it a lot says it all...
@@PaulOelklaus it has to be the nicest of its kind on the planet and I would bet money on it !!! Wait for it !!! Words starting to get out and I know that it's going to make waves in the world of custom sleepers .. I honestly can't find the words to describe my love for it.. very very well done . Wait for the offer's from people who want it !!! I think it's truly priceless !!!
Thank you for all of the wonderful comments, it means a lot to me .A lot of my friends were scratching their heads saying why this car. It made me doubt my decision to build it .Don't let anyone tell you that you can't or shouldn't do,It's your vision.
Always loved the Anglia, it's shape and size are just special and the level of detail on this build is absolutely insane. Amazing job on an absolutely stunning build, I honestly wouldn't change a thing, the color, the lines, the workmanship. Hats off to you Sir.
That is some amazing work. You are an artist. All that metalwork and that spectacular wood in the back. Wow. And you drive it in the rain? Dude! Awesome!
I'm from New Zealand and just happened across this on TH-cam , I love the two door and have owned a couple in my teenage years but I have never seen an estate like this.. I didn't know that they existed... It's outshineing every vehicle in that line up. It must be a dream to drive. I'm very envious . Well done... This car is going to be a well known build.. . I can't think of a nicer vehicle and I have seen many vehicles over the years !!! I wish you all the best and many awards for your workmanship .
Stunning job! Anglia estates aren't common here, but hot rod Anglia saloons are regulars at any custom/classic show; so it's interesting to see the American take on something we exported! Usually they're powered by a hot four pot, or maybe a Rover V8 (the old ally Buick 215 as was), but a 406?!?! Many shoehorns indeed...😳
Blazer? I thought it looked like a VW Type 3 squareback at first. Then soon as I saw the grill, Anglia, that was easy. What a nice build, super clean and tasteful!
I'm so envious !!! This is a real masterpiece of engineering .. it's outshineing every other vehicle in that row .. i can't think of a nicer vehicle . I love it ♥️
As an Englishman, I do appreciate what you have done to this Anglia, one of the favourite mods over here was to fit the Rover V8 3500 engine into these, made for some very interesting cars
Beautiful build.A true testament to improving upon what factory did without losing its continuity, shape and proportions. Truly a remarkable build. Though it resembles more of a vw sqaueback than a blazer imo,js 👏👍👌
Thank you Dennis for continuing to share these beautiful and sometimes unusual creations. This gentleman did outstanding craftsmanship on his Anglia! The front view reminds me a little of a Hillman?, my neighbor had in the 1970's .Best Wishes as always!
My dad’s friend growing up had an Anglia with a 428 Cobrajet with a huge blower sticking up so you could only see about 10% of the road in front of you. It was tubbed out with a four link and a full cage. An absolutely beautiful car, he ate the wall at a test & tune session at over 140mph. The car was scrap metal after that but Bill walked away completely unscathed physically. This was late ‘90s that this happened. Bill spent about five years building the car, a few more years racing it but after the wreck he gave up drag racing, bought a bass boat, and never drove another racecar again. He poured everything he had into that car. Blood, sweat, tears, and a bunch of money but the wrecked undid all of that. The man wouldn’t even reminisce about his dragracing days, it was just a chapter of his life that he just closed the book on.
@@aaronburratwood.6957 Sad but very true .The saying is drag Anglia's have been wrecked or about to.The early Anglia drag car that inspired me to find one wrecked shortly after I seen it injuring him severely. He showed up were I was working at the time years later hands tremoring .I was told it was from the Anglia wreck .Here's the thing he was riding a crotch rocket !!! Some people jus can't get it out of their blood .
That is a really nice build. Even on video, the quality shows. Dennis drooling over it probably had an effect but this car deserves the respect it gets. Cheers 🇨🇦
Can't say I agree that it looks like a blazer. It sure looks different than my uncle's 75 K5! ❤ Still drop dead gorgeous and definitely very unique. I've certainly never seen another like it and likely never will. ❤❤
Thanks Dennis, this car would be surely be overlooked, if not for you. No cookie cutter for sure. One guy in a home garage. Too bad you couldn’t go for a spin.
One of the best self build I have seen . The work done compared to stock is amazing. Their should be a prize at shows for self builds. That's no1 so far
oh my this is a pretty vehicle.....I mean seriously, what an incredible and unique build.....seen 100's of episodes of my classic car, I love the show, and this is the first time I have commented.....and to think he did it himself, wow!
I had a 55husky my first magazine feature car when I was 21 I'm now 64!! It was my only car at the time and was my work van,sign written with Rapid plumbing Co on the side great fun times with that car 😊
@@kbjerke My brother used the Commer for his part time business, I think it was called a mobile disco service, playing records at venues on Saturday nights, he had quite a lot of gear to transport, including a couple of large speakers, the Cob had just enough room .Before that he used a 1950's Ford Popular for the same purpose, now, that was a tight squeeze. 🙂
Just when you think you've seen it all.🧐😲😁 I'm a 50,60,70's American muscle lover, but wow, I love everything about that custom ride. Love the colors and craftsmanship. I'd drive it everywhere, too. I'm not a fan of trailer queen cars. Drive them or what's the point?.
I love the 66-67 Dodge Charger however I would not swap our 37 Plymouth for it. I agree that the 60s saw some great styling along with the mid to late 50s.
This gives me lots of hope with my project car that’s been sitting in the same place since 2013. I doubt I’ll be able to do anything with it over the next few years either.
Back story, the guy that designed the car worked for Ford in the USA in the mid 50's. Look at an 55 to 57 T Bird .He peak of the hood and the head light rings .This design came out in 59.
That little truck is absolutely cool. Beautiful craftsmanship! Awesome build. Being an Anglia, the only thing it’s lacking is a picnic basket of “spotted dick”. Thanks again Dennis
It's definitely a beautiful car and my hat is off to your abilities for building it, however there is something that really sticks out like a sore thumb that was never addressed in the video. That is the doors. Beautiful lines but how the hell do you open them? I saw no handles, no recessed areas where a latch handle could be hidden. I guess I will never know.
He’s a true craftsman. Beautiful work
Sure is sweet
Thank You !
What a nice build.
Wow, stunning craftsmanship.
Thanks !
I always love a true hot rod, one of a kind, not a carbon copy! Rock on, hope to see it in person someday.
Thank Mark!
Just Amazing, The level of craftmanship is astounding. This man had to have worked himself to near total exhaustion to reach this level of the craft. She is a beautiful machine!
I seen it at a cruise in St. Charles Mo a few times. Believe me, you need to see it in person to fully appreciate it!
It took many years off and on .I would loose interest ,run out of money ,or just life would get in the way.
@@PaulOelklaus you did an INCREDIBLE job sir!

I love alternative hotrods! And this one is awesome!
a magnificent British car, you very very rarely see these here in the UK - very rare, very beautiful

Looks great, the best part is you wouldn't know it has been heavily modified unless you look really closely
That is a really nice build. Even on video, the quality shows. Dennis drooling over it probably had an effect but this car deserves the respect it gets. Cheers 🇨🇦

OMG WOOOOOOW what an incredible car, just bad azz
Thank you Teddy !
@PaulOelklaus Thank you for sharing it with us
A Harry potter magic so so cool
Love the paint finish and those wheels 🛞 mind blowing 🤯
Wish it was mine 😪
close but no cigar, ron weasley owned the anglia, it was a saloon and not a super
Thanks Dennis, this car would be surely be overlooked, if not for you. No cookie cutter for sure. One guy in a home garage. Too bad you couldn’t go for a spin.
love this car.Screams Quality.What an artist.
One of the best self build I have seen . The work done compared to stock is amazing. Their should be a prize at shows for self builds. That's no1 so far
It's interesting. It looks pristine. He did a great job. I'd love to drive it around town. :-)
Very cool anglia estate,always have a soft spot for these,a really nice classy job of the mods brilliant stuff
Very cool!
Very nice build. Beautiful interior. "Clean" is the operative word.
oh my this is a pretty vehicle.....I mean seriously, what an incredible and unique build.....seen 100's of episodes of my classic car, I love the show, and this is the first time I have commented.....and to think he did it himself, wow!

very very nice work you have done to that car, as a Brit i wholeheartedly approve
Thank you I wanted to give the car justice. It would have been recycled into tin cans or who knows what.
Awesome! Lord be praised!
Chip who?? Amazing work!
Simply Awesome. Great work from end to end !
Kinda reminds me of the 1976 Ford Pinto station wagon I used to have. This is good looking car. Congrats to the owner.
Thank you!
Nice car, in the 60s I owned a 105E estate but with a 109E engine. Remember going on my honeymoon in it thru the Lake District in the UK.
Beautiful! Reminds me of the 1963 Hillman Husky that I drove for a long time! Thanks for sharing!
In New Zealand, my brother had a Commer Cob .
@@barrycuda3769 I had one of those, too!! Unfortunately, it was beyond restoration. I really miss my Husky!! Best wishes to you!

@@chrishay8385 Fun little cars they were. So sad that corrosion destroyed mine. But I still have the good memories! Best wishes to you!

one of the coolest automobiles I have ever seen. brilliant!
I like all the mods he made to the car. Really streamlined the look with that "B" pillar modification and solid back glass.
Thank you!
Wow! That is SO cool! I like anything that's unique or different.
Mad skills !!!! It's always the quiet modest guys.
Perfect!!
This is in my list of top 10 favorite builds I have seen this year.
Just when you think you've seen it all.🧐😲😁
I'm a 50,60,70's American muscle lover, but wow, I love everything about that custom ride. Love the colors and craftsmanship. I'd drive it everywhere, too.
I'm not a fan of trailer queen cars. Drive them or what's the point?.
In the UK they were known as Angle boxes
This guy has a great eye an super talented builder
I love everything about this vehicle except the fact that I don’t own it, incredible workmanship!
Perfect car for the city
Opie awesome job man that is a beautiful car something to be proud of for sure.
Very nice car. Top notch workmanship!
Bravo! What a great build.
Looks like an Anglia!
That car belongs a SEMA
Exquisite. Great work.
Something You Do Not See Everyday. I Thought At First It Was A Hillman, It Also Looks Like A VW Wagon Thanks For Showing It.
Simply lovely!!!
I love 💕 the car 🚗
Absolutely stunning
" I couldn't pay anybody to do it!" This is what car guys are all about.
So true .
That is amazing. What a talented man.
BADASS Little car❤❤
Very cool car.
beautifully done
A true work of art!
From the doors back it reminds me of a VW 411
Sharp!
Love this baby wagon
2 speed power glide?...OMG with THAT monster motor?...... It must be SCAREY to drive if u forget!...wait we are STILL in 1st gear at 70mph!! lols
It actually goes straight for the most part, but you have to be prepared. 😂😂
Very impressive
BEAUTIFUL ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
60s cars are the best
I love the 66-67 Dodge Charger however I would not swap our 37 Plymouth for it. I agree that the 60s saw some great styling along with the mid to late 50s.
Good stuff!
My first thought was a highly custom volkswagen square back
Nice job❤
Nice build, keep that 2 speed powerglide the best GM transmission I personally ran in my 70' Chevy.
Nice to see an Anglia that doesn't have that backward facing rear window.
This gives me lots of hope with my project car that’s been sitting in the same place since 2013. I doubt I’ll be able to do anything with it over the next few years either.
Don't give up!!!
Now that's cool
Super JOB ON THAT AUSTIN
the headlights remind me of the 55-56 Ford cars
Back story, the guy that designed the car worked for Ford in the USA in the mid 50's. Look at an 55 to 57 T Bird .He peak of the hood and the head light rings .This design came out in 59.
Is this guy a cabinet maker by trade ? what a beautiful job
Machinist
Looks like a VW Wagon
Wow
😎
sadly, they rotted out after 3 years, mine was 5 yrs old and had already been bodged once
grand national 200-4R ,
nice seats
I still may switch the transmissions and the 200R4 is definitely on the list .
Luvly anglebox that would fit in with the kustom anglia saloon:estate:vans we have here in uk
👍👍
Rear looks like MK1 escort estate.
Looks like a squareback eh?
At first glance I thought maybe someone grafted 50s Chev to a squareback
That little truck is absolutely cool. Beautiful craftsmanship! Awesome build. Being an Anglia, the only thing it’s lacking is a picnic basket of “spotted dick”. Thanks again Dennis

Solenoid door poppers ,they work great when they work .LOL
@PaulOelklaus Can't say as I've ever heard of them. Besides, it's a sad day if it's pouring down rain and you can't get your door open.
