It's an honor for us to be a part of your dream car build/restoration. Now go enjoy the car!

This was such a satisfying restoration. Your love for this car is so apparent. So many YouTubers buy their “dream car”, barely fix it enough to get it drivable and then immediately sell it. This was so much more. A true journey with someone who genuinely loves the car they are working on and want to keep forever ❤

I always make sure I have no plans for the first couple of hours on my Saturdays so I can watch these videos. Keep up the hard work guys!

[TylerGSX]

It’s truly amazing the lengths to are willing to go to fully restore this car. Most other YouTubers would be fine with the “10 footer” look for the camera. The extent and investment made to restore this really puts the LEGIT in LSC. Amazing work Alex!

[Stylemaster]

This is probably better than when it left the factory. Insane work!

[capicolaspicy]

It doesn't matter if it's a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, it's a car you genuinely and truly love and have desired for a long time! I am so blown away by what an amazing restoration project you've completed with this one - huge congratulations!

These guys are the modern equivalent of old-school craftsmen, eg blacksmiths, glass blowers, etc. The care and pride they put into their work is remarkable.

Going to say it again. This is one of the best car channels on YouTube. Always fun to watch and always something to learn. Alex and Peter are like peas and carrots. Thanks for all the hard work from the whole team.

That thing looks mint. Wow. Great job on all the work you’ve done. Chicago auto pros are definitely legit.

When you're done and the finish is cured, go back and apply some 3M 'door edge guard' (clear plastic stick-on that is usually wrapped over the edge of the door) to the valley underneath the door handle. That will guard against scratches. Similarly, use the same product on the bottom edge of the door, so you don't scrape curbs, etc.

Ok let's hear it! What are some of your childhood dream cars and did you ever get one?

[lawrenceengel]

Watching all that paint correction work was incredible! I had no idea how much was involved in that process 😮

[herkloader]

Man, that GN looks ten times BETTER than factory new! What an amazing transformation! Now that you own the most beautiful GN in the country, have fun showing her off. Excellent video as always.

[lewispaine]

Love the fact that having the car you wanted for so long brings you much joy, that's what it should be about!

[ocnu]

The Grand National is the epitome of the classy good-looking body styles that Buick would come up with there aren't too many cars you could even put next to it when it comes to looks and class

[zollotech]

Koenigsegg Regera would be the one I would want. As a kid it was a Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo

[turbotato]

Man the GN looks awesome...what a difference in the paint appearance! Those seat covers were highly desirable BTW...they do an excellent job protecting the seats. Kirban's used to sell them many years ago and they are super hard to find now.

[Shiftheads]

Incredible work man! This is also a great ad for Chicago Auto Pros. Just look at that facility and knowledge they have.

Man its awsome to see this car looking all done up. Man when we finish building my dads college car, his 1969 convertible, RS Swapped that was a stolen car and was recovered its gonna be awsome. Ive never seen the car before when my dad used to daily it but that car went through everything, snow, rain hot sunny days to fade the paint away. That car was basically with him for almost his whole life, and many more years to go on with him! This car will get the most secure tech to prevent it from getting stolen again. Back in the 80s the most you could do to prevent your car was a kill switch. My dad went a step further. He installed a removable steering wheel, removable radio, kill switch and alarm system. I can't wait for this car to be finally done.
