It's a Pontiac, it ran, story of my life. I might have to restore the Roasted Goat this year after all

It may not be The Judge, but it's a court appointed Public Defender

I’m so glad Angus has come on full time! I miss seeing Mook, she was so much fun to watch. However, you and Angus have such awesome chemistry. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!

@Trueno1600 1 year ago

Angus looks like the real-life version of Ned Flanders with that 'stache!!!!

As a huge Pontiac guy, my heart is warmed by this video. And I can't fault it for not being a factory Judge. Like you said, the guy was probably trying to rebuild his original, real Judge and swapped his real parts onto a Le Mans. I think it's a "real" Judge in spirit and I'd love to see you finish building the dream.

That's not "The Judge"
That's The Attorney

I gotta say.... Agus is a GREAT addition to the channel as a full timer!

I'm glad your sponsors are helping restore Le Judge. Feels right for this guy's dream to come to life even if he wasn't able to do it.

I appreciate that the AI generated closed caption for the sound of ripping down the garage door is "applause". Yes. Applaud the reveal of the mighty GTO.

Two videos within a week? Let’s go.

I propose a summer GTO challenge between you and Dalton, seeing as you both have many of these on your properties. Who can get the best GTO done by the end of summer in terms of performance, looks and price I wonder?

"Ezra, come getchur Cadillac." 😂 hopefully he does soon, and on his way home he swings it through Chetek. I do believe he still owes me a ride in it!

@PennyTrayshun-u8u 1 year ago

My heart kinda jumped the first few seconds of the video when you ripped the door off and part of a visible pump went crashing to the ground.

I love how this spiraled from a budget “judge” beater to a full blown frame off built bad ass GTO. Love to see it guys, I’m looking forward to it!

@MrKozlosPL 1 year ago

We wanted longer series, we get one. Can't wait for another episode, it's 1.25 million subs channel, you've earned it to do a full restoration as we've yearned for it.

0:13 now thats an intro

@JonTheGeek 1 year ago (edited)

First of all, I don't mind beardless Angus I kinda like it.
Second of all, love seeing you guys finally do interior stuff!
Thirdly, PLEASE BUILD THE HELL OUT OF THIS AND RESTORE IT.

@somebodyelse5820 1 year ago

I think we would all agree that a semi-restoration video is needed now.

@rayrae1651 1 year ago

I would love to see you guys take your time on this judge and do it right. Not enough channels do this, and this would prove to everybody that you can do it.
