I can’t believe people here give you shit for not doing it their way. It’s your car, your channel. This one was exceptional. Great work as usual.

[@Kodaiva]

Who said that

[@OceanandStars1178]

Never before in the history of KZbin have so many people awaited the arrival of a piece of plastic from the post office! Seriously though, I agree it actually looks great without the rear bumper. Those decals are AMAZING and like always you have done an incredible job! Thanks Jon for sending these cars!

[@maryshort7183]

This 74 year old great grandmother had a 1979 copper transfer and I wish I had it back. Great job on the trans!

[@SmashItUpFilms]

Nothing like singing a little twisted sister while you polish a fresh trans am! xD it turned out beautiful!!!

[@stronglav9135]

Спасибо за ваш труд. Эти золотые руки могут делать только шедевры. С крупно масштабными моделями ролики мне нравятся. С меня лай и уважение к вам мастер.

[@tyler3766]

First? Dicast res is the best. I don't even really car about the cars (even tho they're awesome af). Just enjoy his commentary!

[@hestheMaster]

Nice finish to it. Lot easier working the larger sized diecast cars!😍

[@theratinaCage]

To clean clear plastic, I use 1000,2000,3000 grit followed by meguires plast-x. Works great for 100% clarity.

[@robgsouth2293]

Great job. Your eye to detail on paint and decals is impressive. I truly enjoy watching all of your videos.

[@brianball6670]

Very much worth the wait. That paint and decal job was awesome.

[@kenwinston2245]

I remember when these were introduced... so beautiful. You've done justice to what was once crusty. Thank you!

[@tomheckhaus7617]

I've always pronounced it as ER-TLE as in Turtle. As I've mentioned before 1:18 scale is easy to customize compared to 1:64. These 3 you've done are great, I hope you do more 1:18 in the future. Great Job! I would have painted the engine "Pontiac Blue", I not sure what color the Trans-Am engines were, all the early GTO's 389's & up were blue. I'm looking forward to the GTO John is sending you. I had a 1964 and a 1966, The 64 was a Le-Mans with the GTO option in Silver, the 66 was a 4 bbl version, in Burgendy. Regards Tom USA

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

Super crisp and clean. So nice! 😍

[@dianamessenger6853]

Phew! Those were a lot of steps for the headlights. Also, for people who complain in the comments.... Unless they sign your checks from KZbin, take it with a grain of salt. You give quality content, so just keep doing what you're doing D.R.

[@escape150]

You did an exceptional job on this 👍🏻👍🏻 looks fantastic. The position of the Phoenix bird looks better than the one ERTL did

[@tangohunter1548]

What a beauty! I think without the bumper would be cool😎 I have some 1:18 cars in storage, would like to send you one for yourself, and one you can do for me! Your work is BOSS bub!

[@inthelionsden6335]

The placement of that scoop on the side looks correct.

[@ovidio350]

Keep those sweet 1/18 resurrections coming!

[@MisterMsk]

Looking at the before on Part 1 to the finished product on this video. Kudos, man. Wow! Now that is a big change and looks amazing.

[@da_ghoul9432]

"Just jam it in there, aggressively". Will do!

[@whitetallon8784]

Awesome! I was wondering where this video was! Didn't know about the bumper... but I'm glad we got to see this! I love the 1:18 scale Sorry I wasn't chill waiting for this...but I think I missed the part where you were waiting for the bumper!

[@samueljohnstone3028]

Im really appreciating these 1 :18 cars you have worked your magic on , I will make these the scale I collect 👍

[@darrellbedford9925]

Good build. The Screaming Chicken looks great.

[@lordmellis7135]

So relaxed. You just don't stress about anything. Love your videos

[@sidgreentherhymeofreason]

Good things come to those who wait. Excellent work sir

[@jamesh5460]

I really like this build in white. Very cool.

[@solitairesmith3553]

THIS IS PERFECT. your decals are GORGEOUS. Got memories in my brothers trans Am. You are absolutely right about the bumper. It looks great without it

[@mikecochran2452]

Watching restores are so addictive!!! My problem though, I'm making silly sounds like you🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ScaleStreetGarage]

Mike Cochran i dont know what you mean....... blub blub blub blub... get out the way jimmy 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@GDCFC1221]

Another beautiful piece of work. With your standard of paint finish you should change your name to Picarsso.

[@rowens4109]

Looks great. I think it looks right without the rear bumper. Clean.

[@leee2818]

Came home from work to some fresh Diecast Resurrection. Thank God.

[@MrVolvobloke]

Beauty. I always said it looks better without a back bumper. Thanks for posting this was worth the wait.

[@stabbyninja]

Looks exactly as i hoped it would. Nice job....cant wait to see the GTO project. Canada Post always sucks in the summer( i figure its due to vacation season).

[@martindaredare]

Excellent , looks really smart in white. Nice work on the decals.

[@mufflerman8455]

Awesome vid bro. Love the blue Phoenix on the white. Looks great

[@davidneilson3508]

Knocked it out of the park . It don’t need no stinkin bumper lol 😝. Enjoyed seeing ‘‘this one wrapped up looks pimp.

[@themichaelvortex4784]

Nice resto DR! I appreciate all your hard work every week. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@hillbilly7292]

Love the build was waiting patiently for part 2 lol

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Great rebuild! I'd say that it looks like you've been doing 18 scale cars for years!

[@pablomartinez7567]

It looks great.👍👍awesome work.

[@morrismckinnon6047]

That bumper better hurry up, George is getting angry! "Shut up'n work, Boy!" xD

[@solsdiecastodyssey3143]

I've enjoyed everyone of your large scale resto's and this trans am is just the business! Great piece of work as usual.👍

[@darkside0914]

the scoops are in the right spot on a 2nd gen trans am

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

Great resto 👍 ever think of putting in mini LED lights in behind The rear and front lights ... 6v Bart. & mini switch...i build plastic models and have done it on some of them.

[@zenunla]

Wow, incredible result there! Makes me want a white trans am for real!

[@zenunla]

...with a rear bumper of course. 😉

[@charger66611]

looks real clean with out the bumper, the white paint really made it stand out against the decals. Diecast game is on point

[@HammyTechnoid]

You really pimped this one... *Pimp Blubs* I'm sure you thought of this, but the idea crept in my blubby head that the bumper could have been negated with some well placed and shaped body putty. Then you could have had that sweet Vette rear you mentioned. Just blubbing out loud... Hey.. *GREAT JOB MAN!!!*

[@chriswunsch2672]

Fantastic looking T/A!! I had the honor of doing a real life '71 several years ago. White with blue.

[@aficionadosaloshotwheels768]

Excelente amigo👍👍👍

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Absolutely awesome restoration, Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leebennett1369]

Beautiful work. Love it.. 😁😁😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😊😊😊

[@boerharms2209]

Looking forward to the GTO! A carousel orange Judge is one of my all time favourite cars

[@artmanson666]

Red interior would’ve looked very nice, but it came out pretty sweet, great job!

[@chargoldsmith5651]

Great job, love the paint and decals...... Look forward to you doing more 1:18s they are awesome.......

[@malcolmbolton1473]

awesome work man,yes I agree you should try restoring a few more 1:18 scale me thinks,love these bigger scale,I have heaps in my collection,you have it all pretty much down pat now with your skills,keep up the great work,cheers

[@Gappasaurus]

7:00 you got it 👍🏽 rhymes with “turtle” 🐢

[@Tiger351]

Awesome job on the T/A! I don't know though, the video was missing something......let's see....oh yeah needs more Twisted Sister lol. Keep up the great work, loving these larger scale cars.

[@brittballard4030]

I love the trans am that came out awesome. I just started customizing hotwheels my friend sold 4 models and I redid them such long process but with it in the end I just cant figure out how to get the hazing out of the windshields.

[@pflick13]

that model is sooo sweet!! awesome job my friend!

[@blownmouse]

The white is beautiful. Another perfect Resurrection!!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Again, only the highest of standards, exceptional quality. If I win the lottery I'm flying my MX5 over from Ireland for a respray.

[@karmalord]

Great vid. Would be cool if there was someone like you who could make the parts that were missing too. Maybe a 3D printer guy.

[@pbrady187]

Worth the wait. Looks badass. The white and blue is very clean looking. Great job.

[@robertsimmons3336]

The firebird emblem looks Pimp! I loved this one!!!

[@bopaintsminis]

Love your paint work. Best on YT. Not much else to say about that.

[@boerharms2209]

Aww yeah!! That is so awesome! love the decals :D one of your best jobs to date, I reckon.

[@kevinbreaker2683]

Love watching your work,,awesome👍👍😎😎

[@scottjh.7824]

Dub dub. Love it! You're the best...forget the bumper. Cover dem holes and call her done!

[@christianchaplain1305]

Fantastic job! 🙂👍🏼👌🏻

[@band1986]

Happy to see that finished and looking forward to the goat.

[@dreinishimura]

I love it when he does the car sounds

[@adriennehewitt865]

That looks amazing. Love, love, love your videos.

[@ovidio350]

Amazing! Please do more 1:18 scale!

[@crimson4502]

Good Idea with the rims !

[@jimkai5413]

White and blue look awesome, good choice. Love your work.

[@williamaviles2647]

This came out great. T/A are Great to drive and Beautiful but, I just got a NOVA SS with 396. 😉 I'll wait a year to paint. Hope you can do this just like this one. 👍

[@geminialves8746]

That was AMAZING as always. Thank you for being you.

[@enriquemireles8947]

As a guy who you to replace those on real Trans Ams, I’d say you did a great job.

[@gr5535]

Thanks for putting the S D decals on the shaker scoop . Correct for 73 model year T/A. Last of the muscle cars, after 74 they were smog dogs

[@martintorres4865]

That Trans Am came out so nice and that Corvette with the candy apple red that was so sick I love it💓💓💓

[@jaywhittemore5878]

You should have painted the motor Pontiac blue. The 1970 with twin hood scoops is my favorite car.

[@JohnM-zc4ju]

That came out awesome.Great job!

[@dragon320194]

That looks really awesome bro looks better without the bumper

[@mrpistonrecaro6483]

Great work. Love this model

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

That turned out beautiful!!

[@Mad9977]

ah finally the Trans Am back on track 😎👍 wow that looks really awesome, also without the bumper

[@brycehill6678]

Looks great. Dumb question. Why not make a sort of mini bumper for the back out of a fairly flat, but curved to the body of the car. It gives it a much cleaner look. I did that to my 65 F100 and it looks way better than a chunky bumper

[@peeweegnome8977]

Just saw ur PT 2 finish on the Trans nice job right equip an tools make the diff

[@maximumbob350]

Looks amazing, as always. Although I am very slightly disappointed that you didn't go for a red air cleaner for the full Thunderbolt and Lightfoot look...

[@terribelbliss9646]

Wow it came out great, back in the day a friend mine had one like it. One of my favorite memories was going down Katy freeway at 120, he was fifteen and I was 16 we were high as a kite.

[@rjauto7215]

I really like this one the white bandit lol looks great fella

[@Mr77Malibu]

Bumper or not,this custom refurbish build was worth the the wait.

[@chazer200]

Well done!!!

[@grahammummery5732]

amazing job! Well worth the wait. Thank you..

[@Phoenix-vv2to]

i'm happy about these phoenix decals ;)

[@lalomartinez9876]

It would be awesome if u did restoration on 1 18 scale cars 👍n great video 👍👌

[@elpepeneto]

Thank you for your videos sir! They are as always great!!!!

[@johnhohman7847]

Austin, she looks wonderful and of course excellent job, well executed paint. I wish you would’ve stuck with the IMSA idea I think she would’ve rocked in that full road racer stance and build. But she looks beautiful in her current configuration, white I think was a great choice. ( body kit, and ground effects would’ve looked sweet on her: ) but it is what it is, as I said nice job anyway 😺👍🏿

[@thebaconbrotato]

This car turned out pimp AF. Worth the wait.

[@amd6570]

Damn that hood decal turned out sweet
