Jay Leno starts the video posted below with an emphasis on the fact that restoring a car takes time. He says it’s not like on those shows which have cars ready in weeks – in his garage, it take years, especially since he always has to choose which to work on.
The video goes through some of his current “backburner” projects. These, as you can imagine, vary wildly as does their completion date. We won’t give anything away and just let you watch, but you really have to admire the work being put in…
When cars like the crumbling 1914 Detroit Electric are getting a completely rebuilt (wooden) frame and modern powertrain swap – that thing could be very cool. We can joke about how it may even hit the road before any car built by the reborn Detroit Electric will get a chance to, even with all that work that still needs to be put in.
