Tornado DESTROYS 421 Tempest!

The 1963 Pontiac Tempest in this video was destroyed by a Tornado. Steve interviews it's owner.

Glad to see Steve doing Domestic cars again, would like to see a Pontiac collection like he did with all those dead fords.

Interesting, though lost in all the babble, didn't catch a view of what serious damage from the tornado was done to this "63 Tempest.
Own a '63 LeMans & wish the front clip on it looked as good as that '63 Tempest. In closing glad to see Steve up & producing content.

He really did some backyard engineering old school hot rodding on that 63.

Nothing really, the big block thing just really jumped out. Overall, an interesting video with all the back-yard modifications. Really liked the hacksaw cut butt welded tie rods..:eek:

Really liked the hacksaw cut butt welded tie rods.. LOL

If those were welded correctly would they be acceptable ? (equal in strength to OEM?)
