NEW MERCH AVAILABLE NOW! tomsrefurb.shop
BUSINESS INQUIRIES (business only, please): tomsrefurb@gmail.com
In this video, I impulse buy a 1963 Buick Lesabre 4-door and turn it into a pimp cruiser on a budget! I make it ridiculously loud, repair and bodywork rust, install a stereo, and have a lot of fun, as usual. Share some laughs and maybe even learn something (although I am an arguably shady teacher).
NEW MERCH IS AVAILABLE! All your winter clothes and accessories are now for sale: Beanies, sweat shirts, long sleeves, denim- go check it out!
DISCLAIMER: I am a skilled professional that has been trained to do these things. Please do not attempt anything I do. I am not responsible for any harm caused by you attempting anything from this video.
Love you all!
EDIT: Oops, sorry guys. My blissful ignorance showed in this one. I genuinely didn't know that donks were THAT specific to Impalas and Caprices- I hope you still enjoy the video, no hard feelings meant!

The donk community would raise hell, they claim a donk is 1971-76 Chevrolet Caprice or Impala. Still a killer cruiser 🤘🤘

@datrill1000 poor snowflake got his little feelings hurt😂 how about growing a set and quit being a thug gangster wannabe. Anyone who gets butthurt over what car should or shouldn't be called a donk needs to get outta grandma's basement and get a life. There's a lot more important things in this world to worry about than that ignorant shit.

There is nothing on KZfaq that makes me more excited than seeing a new one of your videos pop up in my recommended. I work 2 jobs at the moment and don't get much time to myself, but I'm happy to watch whatever shit you get up to any day of the week. I've had an old car I've been wanting to restore for a while now, but I haven't had the funds or the time, so it's nice seeing your videos and reminding me just how much fun it is to work on things in general. Thanks for everything and helping me keep the automotive spark alive in my heart!

So as a automotive kinda sore as yourself, you are doing great, you’re young, you have a passion for the Old cars and trucks. But it’s good to see that you’re trying to put them back on the road, and add a few tweaks to it! Listen Tom when you look at the late 40s the 60s mid 70s and you dream about seeing her, or him on the road with what you create. That is what matters the most keep pushing you will be big!!! One day you will be at Sema you just need to believe because I see, and everyone on the enterweb sees!!!
