What a amazing shop! And the attention for details! Those ‘ subtle’ changes on the car bodywork appear to be from factory! Thanks for this video Matt!

That's a fascinating shop and some really creative work taking place there. That Viperceptor is simply brilliant.

I didn't think I'd be interested in an article about hot-rods and their birth, as they're not the go-to hot beverage to be found on my tea-shelf. However, I found this to be an absolutely absorbing video and enjoyed the interaction between yourself and Jimmy, being an equally personable chap. Ben was wonderfully knowledgeable too. It made me wonder what the guys could envisage with my Alfa 156. Who knew?! Thanks, Mr. FD!

Fantastic video. Could listen to the owner chatting about cars for hours. Love the look of the Viperceptor.

Great fascinating vid, great to see this work in the UK too. Brilliant workmanship on those vehicles, even a mk 1 Renault 5 turbo lurking in the background!

What a great guy and great company. Thanks for this, Matt 💪🏻

Pleased to see that the PV is close to being finished. The owner has had it since 1976 and it's gone through many changes since then. Colour - Ford Roman Bronze metallic with added gold fine flake. Looking good Roger.

I am not a huge Hotrod fan but I really enjoyed this video, love the Viperceptor.

Great video as always Matt.

WOW! That is such a cool place! Jimmy and his crew are obviously ultra talented. Many thanks for showing us this Matt 😁

I really enjoyed this video. Hot rods may not be everybody's cup of tea but it is great you are given the scene some exposure. I enjoy original classics and customs/rods in equal measure .

[fhwolthuis]

Your Rover V8 needs to go there for some finishing touches! Like a couple of side pipes 😄🤘🏼

[jimmac]

It just shows we can build rods every bit as good as US built cars..real talented guys

[maxidyne]

Very interesting video, I liked it! Normally not my thing, but really interesting to see how they built these cars. What a craftsmanship!

[jefferysmith]

What a treat!. I wasn’t looking for a 45 min video but I was just pulled in and spellbound. Great video, Matt

[paulboyle]

Love the Viper engined Interceptor as I do the car that donated it, the Viper.I can, t stop thinking that there is a Humber Super Snipe somewhere with one of these fitted? Have you come across the Icon Derelict Rolls Silver Shadow with Chevvy LS7 fitted, custom chassis but original patina;its on youtube.I love the idea of this & especially the thought of all the purists collectively giving birth!!

[OldspeedJDM]

[DoubleZeroGarage]

Real cars built by real people for true enthusiasts, you can’t beat a hotrod. One of your best videos so far, more of the same please

[DJWerkz]

Friend of mine took his ‘57 Chevy there to have it sorted after another shop messed the resto mod up. Great shop this with lots of interesting memorabilia
