Making A Custom Front Grill For An Alfa Romeo | Ant Anstead Master Mechanic

[@peterpumkineater6872]

The nicest motor mechanic on tv today

[@felixcat9318]

One of the things I really like and respect about Ant is his genuine passion for what he's doing. This isn't a job of work, it's a labour of love. His enthusiasm shines through and he has a lovely personality, which is absolutely right for presenting and narrating a programme of this type.

[@addman]

it's his biggest outstanding quality, his childlike joy, and genuine passion for what he's doing. that's what makes him great to watch. something to inspire to have the same joy and passion for something in life as he shows.

[@sinisalucic1996]

Ant is a genuine petrolhead. Every second of this video screams enthusiasm , devotion and passion.

[@johnabela932]

Ant, I always loved watching you work. You are skilfull, enthusiastic and most of all "precise & fussy"!!. Can't wait to see the finished Alfa. Excellent videos!!. Cheers.

[@nickedwards8418]

[@karlmuschek9468]

Ian 56 ok Ian 🙄

[@karlmuschek9468]

Ian 56 solid retort Ian 😂😂😂

[@Georgealfa21]

Have you driven an Alfa?

[@Scooot1972]

I know this is nothing to do with this car "which is so impressive" but I've just watched WD where you did up a Saab 96. My old man scrapped ours in the 80s, about 82 I would have been 10 at the time and he sold it to a banger racer who we watched destroy it a few weeks later. It was two tone colour burgundy and cream. What you and Mike did to that 96 was amazing and took me right back to two early memories. 1st it breaking down on the way to the circus and missing that and second selling to the racer and seeing it wrecked. At the time I was glad I look back now and wish he kept it. Thanks for rekindling memories I never knew were there👍 P.S I can't wait to see the alfa finished, you really should be proud of yourself. I've got a GF so I get why you built a one seater. 😁

[@bobthesnobscotland2821]

smashing work again big man great job on the grill

[@howiegreen1646]

What a passion you have for this alfa 👌🤗 love it

[@matthiasbode9737]

Simply perfect grill !

[@stegradon7827]

Love it. Keep em coming.

[@rameshsital9647]

Goodevening Ant. You are a great all round mechanic. I enjoy watching your build of this classic racecar from Alfa Romeo. In the past years I have been driven several Alfa's. Ramesh Sital from Holland.

[@riverkash]

Can’t wait to see the final product, it alfa-lutely thrills me.

[@adytoll]

You really need your own TV show great work step by step awesome

[@daveclark8337]

Uhhhmmm....this IS his own TV show. It's called Ant Antstead: Mater Mechanic and it airs on Motor Trend channel.

[@muji8715]

Ayy man i love ur content u inspire me man

[@MegaAloly]

thank you Ant love the upload

[@howardtennant5766]

Simply stunning a credit to you

[@georgeclarke1183]

what was the cost of getting this grille lazer cut with the materials

[@FredrikFridsten]

Did I miss something? Where did the exhaust come from?

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Right? They are releasing the last part of this series in a somewhat fractured pace. Been waiting months for it though, and am super glad they are finally doing it.

[@KettrupVestergaard]

Why a fake exhaust?

[@organiccold]

This project is going better and better :)

[@toyotafan1234]

I think ant should have a spin off show just for building one off cars.

[@CustomGarageAlsace]

Just love it ❤❤

[@justalittletoserious7796]

8:31 I think I'm going to faint

[@gregwarner3753]

Please clamp sheet metal and a ythi g else down before you drill it. I have had sheet metal grab a drill and try to gut me. I was wearing a heavy leather apron and that stopped the piece. Great work. Be safe.

[@blowduke]

Just had its soul installed 👍

[@christophergoggin5524]

Do all that on CAD and then Water-Jet cut the parts, that instrument panel could be perfect and symmetric. looks nice tho. Why well race cars can get crunched and makin spares much better

[@Wakeupproductions]

Is Ant actually rebuilding an Alfa 158 starting from paper sheets? What engine has been chosen?

[@MrSilnev]

I think, the engine is a donor from an old alfa spider.

[@jorgevaldez8776]

Edd China donde estas ??

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Yeah, WTF is Ed?

[@vasopel]

why didn't he weld the grill plates from the other side??? :-O

[@DL-ls5sy]

Great !!!!

[@gilbertmarquez6912]

When is the new season of WD?

[@algernonwolfwhistle6351]

Sweet!!

[@christophergoggin5524]

Next time copper braze that grill, would look mint! Then have it surface treated hard coat or something be nice. You TV dudes have the budget for that!

[@Pawarpavanp]

You can fix the lights inside the grill 😉

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

The original Wheeler Dealers show was one of the best car shows ever. Whoever screwed that up should be jailed.

[@jackblack5124]

Good,despite Ant dislikes ALFAs

[@pholiveira39]

The best

[@joey243win]

When can we see the whole thing in 1 video...so much missing

[@gillescormier3474]

Good evening really one of your biggest French fan we would like the voiceover in French and the really you would have in addition the 66 million French that would follow you good evening

[@DL-ls5sy]

Oui c'est mieux que la version française avec le barbichu style Vincent Lagaf.... Il est vraiment très fort, ce Ant ! Respect !

[@lion-gc5rh]

Would be interesting to know where Ant gained his skills. I believe he was a policeman in former career . he certainly knows his stuff ,, Guess some people are just born with a mechanical brain, Very enjoyable to watch

[@themessenger5868]

I almost choked when I saw that dash...O M G ! I think I'm going to steal this car...soon.

[@misterkota1252]

Your logo is the western digital logo.

[@mancaveproductions00]

I think we missed out on engine going in?

[@stuartd9741]

And exhaust?

[@mozki1]

Think you have to subscribe to Motortrend to fill in the blanks, if I'm not mistaken. These are the bait and lure.....got you hooked

[@golach420]

Never heard of CAD?

[@stuartd9741]

Ah, CAD is exclusively for the _Bad Obession Motorsport_

[@11SLOTH11]

I love it how it makes it look like a piece of piss!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Does it come out in pieces down there?

[@roelof1966]

What is not to like :-) ?

[@a1phapau135]

Sounds like tyson fury a bit tbh

[@nicolasfreytag9495]

French fries tools?🤔

[@defe6520]

Poor parody of Edd China, isn't he Mr Buysell?

[@mcdermottpeter]

The tall guy never did a project as interesting as this one though.

[@PecanRanch]

put the engine in the center of the chassis, and lose the fake exhaust

[@IanLomas]

even at 1080p i looks like crap

[@northof-62]

Us with OCD can't deal with Alpha's offset number plates.

[@thriftymrchris]

Is it me or did someone forget to clean the camera lens?

[@gilbertmarquez6912]

An to knee!

[@gilbertmarquez6912]

“An tho ny” in mikes voice lolllllll

[@andreanogajdos4112]

He talks to much build the car man
