The guy who built the Alfa Is ridiculously humble. I wasn't sure what he was going to show off, but it's obvious he's a body genius. Never seen work like that before, just amazing. The "Finished" Alfa in his garage looks breathtaking. Those slotted tire covers are the coolest thing.

WOW! His vision on building a car, all steel, is absolutely amazing. Those 2 are simply beautiful... I'm dumbfounded by his attention to detail. Have mercy. Yes, they are not originals, but I do believe that they are just as good, if not better than an original. I want to be his son. I want him to teach me the fine art of shaping metal like that. Maybe he can brush me up on my English learnin' too😄. Again, I have to say WOW, WOW, WOW! Thanks Tom, great show. I truly wish you had more time to spend with the school teacher. Let's not take forever to go and visit him again. Have a great evening, God bless.

Tom, thanks for some great content! I’m a huge fan of your show. In fact a friend of mine bought a truck out of Midland Texas from Mr. Roland’s yard that he spotted on your show. I was living there at the time so I went to check it out for him before he brought a trailer down from Oklahoma to pick it up. I have a request for future episodes. I am a 4x4 enthusiast and I love old 4x4 iron. I often see 4x4 versions of American classic trucks and SUVs in your videos that get skipped over. Maybe you could do a video focusing on old 4x4s one of these days? Thanks Tom, hope to run into you on the hunt someday!

@danhumphrey5755 Жыл бұрын

I've loved the Reatta since they first came out, and $10K for one with low miles is very tempting. However, when I saw the gorgeous Alfa Romeo inspired build, I saw something that looks very much like my most favorite car of all time, the Auburn Boattail speedster. Beautiful. What a treat to see both in one episode of Barn Find Hunter.

I have a 34k mile, 1990 Reatta Convertible, red on tan, body color bumpers as opposed to the safety black you see here in this video, my grandfather and myself are the only two to own it, special ordered by my grandfather with my input in 1989. Getting ready for sale in a week or so, if you’re interested before I put it on BAT.. :)

Hi Tom. Some people can turn their hand to anything and Paul is one of those ! Those bodies are a thing of beauty and most artisans would be very satisfied with his creation . But he's just picked it up ......incredible ! Absolutely stunning work ! I'm sure your more than aware of the skills needed ! Do you know if he painted them ? Guess he "picked that up as well !" 😁 What a man ! And what a talent ! My only criticism .....those bloody awful beetle headlamps !! Arrrrrgh !!! Thanks Tom . So look forward to your shows !
