Dan is a legend for getting the job done. Most towies would have just walked away

[@sheel2]

Holden had some awesome greens and orange colours around that era. So good! Loved the little Simpson's cut haha 😄

[@akaitv6606]

Fantastic, I'm in my element when there's old beasts to be put back on the road , good to see your pationate about preserving old age relics from Australian history, It would be good if someone in Australia did an Aussie version Of Wheeler Dealers .

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Trouble is any time the networks try something like that they just want to cut and paste something from overseas. Rarely let our own humour come through. Top gear australia could have been awesome ,but instead we got off brand top gear uk.

[@pauls3585]

That colour is awesome. It will be a head turner when finished.

[@kelvinthomas374]

Looking forward to seeing it done, love that colour👍

[@rocker2480]

I could watch this all day! 👌

[@noelgibson5956]

I just love what you're doing! We no longer make cars..........so must remake what we already have. It should be illegal to crush any Aussie built cars now! 😃👍

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Absolutely! We will never have more than what we have now, only less.

[@noelgibson5956]

@@watsisbuttndo829 Exactly 😃

[@michaelmatthews7315]

Absolutely love the resurrection of the old Holdens guys as I have hx 253 ute flowing through my veins since I was 12 helping my dad fit up bigger pipes just so it sounded meaner keep up the good work

[@TheIronEmpire]

Awesome mate cheers

[@davidbarnsley8486]

That’s LC gtr green my mate had one back in the 80s and I painted it that colour Will look amazing I did the black stripes on it You can buy them now as stickers 👍👍

[@timinman9578]

Wow the colour takes me back to when mum had a green and white top HZ wagon. It looked fantastic.

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Nice 👍 miss my HZ😢 that green has turned me if I get a chance to build one again i'd go with that!!! Top work Mark🍻💯

[@punkguy350]

That green sandman panel van will be so sick when it's finished 😍👌💯 Keen as to see it done 🤘🤪 Hopefully get to see the white one next to it in the sun 🤞

[@TheIronEmpire]

Me too man! Haha

[@charlesgalea69]

Awesome video today guys thanks.

[@ronniebraine9692]

Awesome job you do guys. Gotta save Aussie made cars.

[@rosswilliamsssvredline]

Fantastic work guys

[@peterscott7384]

What an awesome colour mark. I wish I had painted my HZ ute with that. Instead I went with sprited green. A Colour from a Mazda 2. It was ok but aged quickly. Love it. Keep up the great content. Cheers

[@TheIronEmpire]

Yeah that’s the downfall of going a modern colour hey

[@hisnamewasrobertpaulsonhis9333]

You had me at Sandman.

[@jak3yboy391]

Love the colour!

[@mangomcpoo475]

Jake carries this channel so hard, I hope you pay him properly for his skill and time.

[@TheIronEmpire]

He’s only the offsider… he get paid it iced coffee

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

You guys pump out some huge amounts of work. Love watching

[@TheIronEmpire]

Not enough hours in a day haha

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Great work mate The boy and i just picked up a HJ ute that we are looking forward to rebuilding

[@ericharrison2440]

Great colour 👍

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

The HQ will drive really nice with RTS underpinnings once it sees the road again

[@TheIronEmpire]

Being a HZ it would already have RTS wouldn’t it?

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

@@TheIronEmpire it sure would! Have a look for the badge on the dash, maybe near the glovebox

[@markscott2360]

It's gunna look great bro,good job 👌🤘👍

[@davidwhitehead8121]

Love the green 🤙🏻

[@akaitv6606]

Your painter is pretty awesome at his craft that gloss from 2nd coat looks like first class to the Nationals .

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate, but too be honest… the footage was actually Fromm the first coat, haha I went on a touch heavy in the second 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@NathansMoparGarage]

That color looks great.

[@bsheedy7639]

[@patricklang5044]

Another good video , cheers for all the work you put into them 👍

[@beyondbackwater4933]

What sort of business is he running with the huge workshop and guys he works with? Is it purely fixing cars up and selling them on? Very enjoyable to watch regardless.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Just builds cars for himself and sell the odd car here and there mate

[@beyondbackwater4933]

[@joecullen6586]

Looking very nice. Also good to see Jake again and what he’s been up to.

[@pjthatsfine3591]

I know the panelvans and the 1 tonners were a 1 piece chassis, I thought the utes were as well ?

[@TheIronEmpire]

Front clip comes off like a sedan

[@JAStheACE]

[@terryjackson4538]

Panama (Pan-a-ma - as in the Island nation), is a great colour mate. I've been thinking that or Barbados Green for my Monaro,

[@nikolasb2933]

I'm thinking Van Halen for some reason.

[@snosho6846]

Hq has alot of differences visually to a hz, you've got a mountain ahead of you

[@KtmHoleShot]

Sandman looking good , are you going to put in a GTS dash.?
