This work of yours is already like art... It's really amazing what you create from a sheet of metal. Really a pleasure to watch this :)

I doff my cap to you, Sir. You have balls of steel to tackle such a tricky structure, well done.

The intro is perfect. If you don’t love it you will fail. Great work as always. Thank you and Happy New Year. 🎉

Again a display of you skill and tenacity ✊✊✊

I have watched a lot of auto recovery videos here on youtube but this video beats them all. Amazingly precise work. I can't wait for the next one.

Once again; Excelent . I wish you fantastic 2024. Best Regards from Germany. Thorsten Manke

The process shown is far more challenging than it may appear. Not only is he hand replicating a complex shape, every dimension will echo downstream. Mainly with glass and trim install. This may well be his greatest opportunity for causing himself problems. Therefore, he has started this repair after much thought and planing. I have a feeling he nailed it! Silence is golden. He figured this problem out earlier while making a simpler repair.

Es ist unglaublich schön, dass du so viel Arbeit rein steckst, damit der Opel GT wieder schön wird 😊. Ich wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Und freue mich schon auf nächste Video von dir. 🎉🎉😊

I check in every few months and am blown away. I just gotta say, I'm 5 years into my low budget GT "restoration" summer project, and I've cut plenty of corners and bodged or ignored rust I was just too discouraged to bother fixing. This is both cathartic and anxiety spiking to me, to see all these "That looks fine, ignore it" sections that have basically powder and unanswered prayers of orphans holding them together once you expose it. I'm sure mine's nearly this bad, and I've put blinders on and said "it's probably fine". I pretend to have the excuse that I've filmed a couple hundred hours of footage and will be making videos of the process, and that's why it's taking me so long compared to everyone else, and here you are making videos (which slows you down by 500%) and having fantastic production value editing the videos (for me it takes about 1 hour of editing to make 1 minute of content), really using up all of my excuses doing both restoration and videos far better than me. I wonder if I'd have seen this before I began, if I would have been too intimidated to start, or if it would've been encouraging to see that someone else could do it and so could I. Thank you for everything you're sharing, this is really amazing content. World class.

The best gift for the New Year is a wonderful video about the return to life of Opel GT. Happy New Year!

It was another great restoration effort. I wish you all a wonderful next year.

Thanks for show us youre skills, i like youre restoration of that Opel GT.

I really love your very special tools to split the spotweld joints👍😁😉. Your skills are incredible, I would get lost if I had to rebuild this beam and framerim! Keep up this excellent work and a good start into 2024, best wishes from Germany!

Your metal working skills are outstanding!

Oooohhhhh mein Gott.... Unfassbar welche Liebe und Herzblut du in die Blecharbeiten steckst ! Sollte der GT einmal verkauft werden, so ist dieser Opel unbezahlbar, schon alleine mit den Arbeitsstunden !

Keep up this extraordinary work. See you next year, All the best to you in 2024,

congratulations on how you managed the complexity of reproducing this part of your GT. You are a Master!

Just found your channel, cool stuff. I’m fixing to do a Opal GT on my channel. Thanks for sharing -Spanky

einfach nur klasse wie du das machst......das liegt dir im blut......tolles werkzeug....

Godt nyttår fra Norge🎉 thanks for shearing werry nice!

once again a beautiful video, wishing you all the best for 2024 🎆🥂🙂

That was the shortest 24:58 minutes of my life! And yet for you it must have felt like 26 hours. Thank you for taking us along for the journey. The filming is brilliant. I could almost feel that splinter in MY finger. Blessings of the season to you and yours and may 2024 be fulfilling

To those who have not done sheetmetal fabrication, complexity and skill to remanufacture the damaged and rotten panels may not be understood. The dedication, determination, resourcefulness, attention to detail and just plain labour put into this project is definitely a labour of love. I salute your efforts!!! The result is perfect.

You are a master! Happy new year!

Interesting and fussy work on the vents. The music was a good choice.

Another masterpiece again!!! Have a nice 2024

Master Craftmanship !

Another great episode.loving the moody lighting to begin with.keep the faith😊?

Thanks for saving my new year eve, with a new release. The comments below has used all my words. So i just say, happy new year. And keep up the good work. 👍. See you in 2024

Nice work of the parts you made it, its been a nice car one day...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

This has become one of my favourite restoration projects to watch, you really are doing a great job of the car and the filming and editing, looking forward to more in 24!

Amazing work! Well done!!!

Fantastic job ! Really art !!!

WOW Great work, I am at a lost for words...

Amazing work again

Super som vanligt! God fortsättning!🏆🏆🏆

It's always enjoyable to watch a true professional do work with all their specialized tools. I guess I need to add a butter knife to my metal working tools. But seriously, you are a true craftsman doing something that you truly love to do and I look forward to future installments of this restoration project. Thanks for sharing!

Tremendous! Just watched all 21 episodes over 3 days. You, Macro Machines are Brough Built are pure geniuses!

Que prolijo en tu trabajo, te felicito!!!

it's no longer a coachbuilder but a goldsmith that I see working. I'm amazed.😲

Hi thank you for all your great contents throughout the series. Look forward to watching the rear roof coming together. Your craftsmanship, fabrication and attention to detail is to be admired. Wishing you and your family a Happy New year with peace and prosperity. ❤ From the UK..

Happy new year! Greetings from Argentina

I enjoy your series on the Opel GT immensely and have a tendency to binge watch the series. It makes one appreciate the difficulty and intricacies of restoring a rust bucket. You are the Leonardo da Vinci of body work, not just for your technical skills but for your ability to convey knowledge which is another set of skills altogether. I look forward to the continuation of the series and you can bet that I will watch it to the completion of the car which happens to be one of my favorites.

Happy new year to you! Looking forward to future episodes.

Vilket fint avslut på 2023. Önskar dig ett gott nytt år!

Привет из Минска! Занимательно смотреть, Ваши, видео, а так как я сам восстанавливал мерседес w123 больше 10 лет, то прекрасно понимаю скольких сил стоит восстановление старого автомобиля. Всем Мира.

Amazing,fascinating, stunning, incredible, wonderful, outstanding of your craftsmanship

Nochmals vielen Dank für dieses Video. Ich habe mir das auch mehrmals angeschaut, es gab so viel zu sehen. Wir schließen das Jahr 2023. Ein guter Zeitpunkt, um den Wunsch auszudrücken, dass Ihnen ein gesundes und produktives Jahr bevorsteht. Grüße aus Haarlem Niederlande. Many thanks again for this video. I also watched this several times, there was so much to see. As we close 2023. A good moment to express the wish that you may have a healthy and productive year ahead.

Brilliant work as always!

May be the best way for the end of 2023.. Superb old school car body, craftmanship ...Thank you for the videos.. Wish you and all your viewers here ,Happy New year..

Appreciate your persistence and determination sir! Thanks again for another fantastic upload!

Happy New Year, a year of ....more....fun 🙂

Nice job fun to see 🎉🎉🍾

Wow! What a complex bit of metal fabrication! You are truly a master metalworker. I would have no hope of fabricating anything so involved.

Tolle Arbeit, schönes Video.

Quite simply amazing. We are all witnessing work of the highest standards and achievement. I don't know many professionals that either could or would have tackled that job any better. I tend to agree a little bit with the comments about the audio, but at the end of the day, it is what you feel comfortable with. There is a very good channel I watch, Classic 356 Expert, he is Hungarian and voices it in his native language with English subtitles, which is not ideal but you get used to it and it works OK. Anyway, just keep them coming in 2024, Happy New Year.

Excellent vid.

Can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. Really enjoying the metal shaping its first rate. Good job

Hut ab vor deiner beeindruckenden Restaurierungsarbeit am Opel von 1971! Deine präzise Handwerkskunst beim Blechmodellieren zeigt, dass du ein wahrer Künstler bist. Als gelernter Karosseriebauer kann ich die Seltenheit solcher Fähigkeiten nur zu gut nachvollziehen, auch wenn ich mittlerweile seit 27 Jahren in der Mercedes-Fabrik nur an neuen Autos arbeite. Dein Engagement für die Wiederherstellung alter Schätze ist bewundernswert. Weiter so!

Un grand bravo de France pour tout ce travail accompli. J'aurai rêvé refaire une Opel GT et tes vidéos me permettent de vivre ce rêve par procuration !!!! Ne lâche rien, nous comptons tous sur toi pour voir "la belle" finie.

As ever, inspiring ❤

Advanced skill at work.

Thank you,the best one can do on new years eve is watching a video from you.Best wishes for the new year and that your projekt will continue well,greetings from Germany

Your work with metal on this restoration is wonderful to watch! No need for audio to explain what you are doing…it is self explanatory! And the music you choose is usually just right for the way the work is going! One of the very best KZfaq video series! Many thanks and Happy New Year!

Ganz großes Kino. Glaube nicht, dass schon mal jemand die Zwangsentlüftung so im Detail nachgebaut hat. Mir habe ich es damals leicht gemacht und die gesamte Partie aus einem US Dach herausgetrennt und bei meinem GT implantiert. Ist aber nicht für die Ewigkeit, da ich sie nicht zerlegt habe und nachhaltig konservieren konnte. Bin gespannt auf die Fortsetzung. Wish you a happy new year.

Wow, that part is one hell of a job. Never could i imagine that Opel did so complex structures on the GT. What a nightmare to restore when everything is rusty. Looks like you need to be in a very stoic mood to go through all these rust nests. Nevertheless i have to admit that meanwhile i pay more attention to your video editing skills than to the metal work routine which is on boss level anyway. Impressing how you more and more develop your very own way of story telling. I guess the careful choice of music has a lot to do with it. I also like how you are playing with different camera positions. And now you´re into video overlays. Brillant way to illustrate the issues. And yeah, that closeup splinter scene really stands out. Can´t wait for the next episode.

You are a marvel at metal working, I so look forward to each episode, good luck with the vents!

As allways you've put down a big amount of great work. Keep it up, already looking forward upon the next episode. Have a happy new year and the best one can wish for you and your family.

Superb workmanship. I especially like the way you're designing out or improving on some of the factory flaws . Hats off to you sir 👏 🙌 🙏 👍

Happy New Year! It's nice to see how you work. Thank you!

This is an absolutely amazing work and the videos are very well recorded and cutted. thumbs up

Love watching the videos and the progress, really difficult task you took on this time! Also love the music and editing. Waiting to the next video!

Nice Job and Happy New Year

You truly saved that Opel from the crusher. Always look forward to seeing more of the detailed restoration progress. Very impressive. Wish I had your skills. I hope you had a fantastic Christmas holiday and Happy New Year from Vancouver BC 🇨🇦

Very nice job.

Fantastic work as usual. Happy new year.

It's wonderful to see how well it works with artisanal means, it seems that the motto of car manufacturers is "Make it pretty, but don't make it good and durable" All manufacturers lack the honesty to offer quality and precision in their work. Congratulations on your work, I completely agree with the statement at the beginning. Greetings and a happy new year.

Un capolavoro 👋👋👋 happy new year

Best wishes for 2024. Among the things I like most about your excellent videos is the way in which you make tasks that look almost impossible practicable by breaking the processes down into manageable units. I don't mean to suggest for a moment that it makes them easy, just that it makes them possible if you have the skill and patience to undertake them in a planned way. Thank you once again.

Lovely seasonal present of some tricky metalwork, have a happy new year!

This is an absolute MASTERCLASS of sheetmetal work,.I can see you love what you are doing best wishes for 2024 klaasS

First of all...all the best wishes for the next year! Second....this was another amazing video. Keep up the outstanding kind of craftmanship.

Masterclass

Exceptional! Happy new year to all🎉🎉!

You are a great fabricator. I enjoy your video’s👍👍 Happy new year everyone 🥂🍾

My best wishes to you for 2024. This episode is outstanding, you are really gifted with metal. Great job. I thought a lot about your reply from last episode and I'm preparing an answer.

nice use of kitchen cutlery, I have done that!

Brilliant!

Great job, I love your video's and I am amazed at your skills. As a novice myself, I am astonished at the work you have done on the GT. Look forward to your future video's. God Bless and Happy New Year to you friend.

"And this is the scary part'. Proceeds to whip out a butter knife, a rolling pin, and an artichoke. Creates a panel that'd take me six months to produce.... Mesmerising to watch.

This is a great channel! Fantastic metalworking skills and great videography. I particularly like the subtitles rather than a voiceover. I'm sure language has something to do with it. It all works well together and the end result is a delight. I'm not a car guy, but I gravitate to sites that build and renovate. This is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

To more progress in 24 happy new year

Nice to sea that only perfect is good enough for you. I am from the netherlands, but i think that you should try and comment wat you'r doing. Perhaps you are the new Kimi Raikkonen 😊 Keep it short 😂

love it had a manta then got married.

Have gathered by the few outside views and the art and parafinalia on your wallsthat you must be from Sweden, Norway or Finland. Though in this episode I saw proud banner of the Land of the Thousand Lakes. So I presume thats where youre from? Anyways, great thanks, happy new year and cheers from Sweden.
