** ADDED CAPTIONS IN ENGLISH *** CLICK ON CC
This is a short little movie I made about my dad restoring his 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster. The whole process from start to finish took him about three years.

[@yehudaelboym4647]

Hey everyone it's Ofir, I'm the daughter and I made this video for my dad! I just uploaded captions in english, just click on the CC button :) Thank you all for your lovely comments, my dad, mom, sister and I have all been enjoying reading them, laughing and smiling. It makes us all super happy!

[@DennisMurphey]

Thank you so much for filming and sharing such a beautiful project for Dad and family. You have all blessed us with a lovely historical review and to show human perseverance and restoration artform. We enjoyed the piano music while fitting the upholstery as well. The detail paint in red and the simulated wood grain was wonderful. Thank You so much. Dennis in Virginia, US

[@dennisthurston727]

An excellent job. Extremely nice. It had many hours of love put into that project from all that worked on it. A true labor of love.

[@ofirelboym]

@@DennisMurphey Thank you! My sister was playing the piano, she was excited someone noticed her as she wasn't in the video really haha :) The restoration process is so long and sometimes I didn't understand how he can continue to work on it while it seems like it's never gonna end, and after a while bam! the car's done! So the perseverance is all my dad's :)

[@ofirelboym]

@@dennisthurston727 Thank you so much Dennis!

[@dennisthurston727]

@@ofirelboym you're very welcome. I don't have Instagram or Facebook. But I'm usually on here or my email. Have a great day,/night. My email is [e-mail] if you want to be in touch, I'm curious what country are you in ?

[@mrdanforth3744]

I'm 71 and the first car I owned was a 1948 Chevrolet. It seemed like a very old car back then and that was more than 50 years ago! When I look at these pictures the thing that surprises me most is, this was GM's lowest price car at the time yet it seems much better built, with nicer appointments and luxury touches than today's low priced cars that are made out of gray plastic. Your father seems to have enjoyed putting this beautiful car back in commission, I hope your whole family enjoys some nice rides and family outings with it.

[@idontknow2293]

We need more people like you and me my brother. I'm 78 years young and 2 years into restoring my 1957 Chevrolet sedan delivery. Should be completed this year. 👍👍👍👍😎😎

[@andyvitale6071]

This took me back to childhood watching my grandfather working outside on his car! Hand tools a little imagination,skill and great work ethic. The outcome, a thing of beauty...thanks for sharing and thanks for the memories.

[@sharondively7358]

you're dad , you and all who helped did a fabulous job--very very nice car

[@roadwheels1]

I want to be like this guy when I’m old. Fixing my Chevy in my underwear, and doing upholstery in the kitchen. True badass.

[@patalexander3702]

Yes he is; if a fight broke out, he would be the last man standing! He has endurance to no end!

[@ofirelboym]

Hahahah he really is a badass! Your comment made my entire family laugh 😂 thank you!

[@lisawiththe42]

I love this video! Your dad is so cool just like my dad. Sending positive vibes your way. I have a 42 Fleetline I’m restoring.

[@xbgtfella]

Gotta give props to the bro. Shows what u can achieve in a lifetime as this cat can cover all disciplines required to do restoration. Even foose farms out his upholstery but i dare say if he had time he'd figure it out. Imagine if we had 1000 years + how many dreams we could knock out. Props brother props!!!!

[@annawhitis4251]

I enjoyed your extensive restoration on your Chevrolet Stylemaster, two door deluxe. My hats off to you sir and family members. You , all are a credit to the antique automobile hobby. May God Bless you all. Kevin Phoenix

[@davidr4332]

Your father smile at the end say it all how much he loves his car and a very well done job as well a huge credit to him .

[@richardpd5732]

Different Country, Different Language, same Passion. Good Video Brother

[@DennisMurphey]

Just such a heart warming project and family. No shouting or screaming, just working from the heart. When I saw the upholstery tag labeled Danville Illinois i smiled. I grew up in Illinois not far from Danville. I also owned a 47 Chevy Coupe, that was in 1965, I was 15. But i installed a 1857 Oldsmobile V8 engine, 4 speed Auto and rear end. Big mistake. I had never build an engine before. It ran very strong for 3 miles then blew up and a rob came out the oil pan. My father forbid me to work on it anymore. He was afraid i would hurt myself and spend all my money on it. Today I would love the have another chance to follow your Dads methods to restore not Hot Rod. Great video, thank you for sharing, great DAD!!!!!! Dennis

[@rhoigarcia1229]

I am impreased! Your dad is an inspirarion. He's an artist to say the least! I'm glad you had the vision to record it. Thank you! Saludos from Houston 🇲🇽🇺🇸.

[@RickDominick69]

Wow. Usually I fast forward through a lot of these videos but I was riveted to this video the commitment that that man had to that wire grinding wheel was just it was awesome. And the work that you both put in and the fact that Mom did not freak out when Dad was working on the car inside the house there's love there too. Awesome finishing. This video gets an a plus plus plus plus

[@lionelsuarez3336]

I have watch this a few times over and over.. n I have a 1947 fleetmaster coupe . I can’t wait to start on mine. Thank u for sharing! Denver, Colorado.

[@fava7753]

One of the very best restorations I have ever seen . I personally raise my hat in total respect to you and your people for the excellent quality of work to bring this vehicle back to pristine condition . A piece of motoring history brought back to original condition by a truly dedicated team . May you enjoy many years of sheer pleasure from this amazing beautiful vehicle . Excellent workmanship . Well done to all involved . Time , patience knowledge and vision to reach such a pristine completion . . Sheer excellence . .

[@patalexander3702]

Your dad is a hard worker, he’s tougher than that grinder he operates! We had a 1948 Chevrolet when I was a little boy, this one brings back those memories! Enjoyable Video, here in Texas!

[@gtodriverasesores5569]

Que excelente trabajo realizaron es esa restauración. felicidades y a disfrutarlo lo mas posible

[@raypeters4525]

A PURE RESTORATION BY A PURIST ! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR RESTORED LIKE NEW ! GREAT JUST GREAT ! MY DEEPEST RESPECTS TO YOUR RESTORATION SKILLS ! I AM AMAZED AT YOUR TALENTS !

Great work, great passion. I love how Dad is teaching the grandkids how to and why!

[@0768698]

My deep respect to this man he remains me , patience and determination is the secret good job Awesome!!

[@tombob671]

Ofir. I came back after a year to view your video again. I pray that all is well with you and your family. Please tell your dad I love his work. Greetings from Oklahoma .,. Tom

[@jpalberthoward9]

What a magnificent beast of a car! What an amazing man who can do this kind of work! What attention to detail! All you kids out there might want to look at a guy like this as a possible role model instead of some lowlife ghetto gangster. This is a man with talent, a work ethic, patience, and the willingness to see a project all the way through to completion. If he lived near me, I'd buy him a beer and ask for a ride. This is beyond outstanding!!!!

[@mr.hanger]

I love to see a restoration! So mush more appealing to me than lowered on bags, 20" rims and all the other mods that are popular. Crazy skills, Friend and great teamwork!

[@karenrobb9612]

Absolutely gorgeous! All the best to you and your dad from USA!

[@70ixlr86]

Such a pleasure, to see such dedication. Seeing Parts worked on in a kitchen, living room and any other place that works out well for the restorer, reminds me of why some things become part of a family. Even when no onlooker at a later date could understand the deep connection people can have to objects like a car. Amazing work!

[@mangopog9814]

Absolutely stunning, another piece of history saved for future generations to cherish, thank you for the great job and the sacrifice that has been rewarded with pride and a beautiful piece of historic art from post world War II. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ubiratanmartinsbarros3325]

I just rewatched it. Thank you for the captioning, it made it even better. God Bless you all, greeting from Oklahoma

[@ofirelboym]

You're welcome! I'm happy you rewatched it 😊 Now understanding what he was going on about in the talking bits haha

Dear Ofir You and your family are in my morning prayers. I stand with you and Israel in these terrible times. G-d be with you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️ Blessings from Oklahoma

[@michaelmarrett6423]

Truly amazing, beautiful, and inspiring! Thank you for this video! When I get old, I want to still be doing exceptional quality work like this man! What a blessing!

[@matthewfocke5360]

A labor of love...It's wonderful to have family and friends to help you out. A great car with exceptional craftsmanship...Whose da Boss? The man behind the wheel!

[@burtoncrowell4371]

That is an incredible talent I have never seen anything like that that car is absolutely brand new very very impressive great job good work another classic save

[@beatglauser9444]

Congratulations! When I saw the beginning of the work I never expected a great restoration of this high level! She is a beautiful car! I learned something: The dry climate in Israel makes it easier to work on bare metal: Here in Switzerland you must hurry up to spray epoxy or an other thing right away to prevent things from rusting with the humidity of the air. He even has the courage to paint the car in the most unforgiving color: Black! Yesterday I worked on door panels on our kitchen table. I also work in my underwear grinding small car parts in my garden when noone can see me. Now I must run tho have a shower. I am covered in vintage rust as I worked on a rusty floorpan of a 63 Chevy I am restoring.

[@phil_t_richgarcia4992]

Wish i knew what he was saying, but hes definitely the type you would enjoy drinking beers with haha much love and beautiful memories

[@fuhkoffandie]

We have a 48 Chevy stylemaster. It's three-quarters of the way restored. it just needs paint and interior. It's a lot of work, when those years haven't been kind to those cars. It's a lot of work to make them nice, in the end it's worth it. We even have the original tube radio

[@tombob671]

Ofir you and your family are in my daily prayers ( aslo Israel) for your safety in these terrible days. May God Bless you and your family 🙏 your old car friend in Oklahoma

[@arguswil]

@1800 Danville IL 😆 wow. That plant has been closed since the 90's. Amazing ! Its the next town over me. Most of the building is torn down and a Concrete company (Sport Redi Mix ) has a dry batch plant on the old property. The electrician that is at my job currently is about to retire earned his first retirement from GM in Danville😀
