The cool part about this build is that after they sold it, they caught up with it many many years later. It was still on the road and everything still worked and looked great. That a testament to his build quality on this project.

Stacy gives a good motivational message at 2:25:05. We shouldn't get discouraged if our project is taking forever to come to fruition. We can't expect our project to be finished overnight, over the weekend or in a year. Things take time and money obviously. There's no rush. And we dont need to one up other ppl. Theres no shame in having a small block, using worn out interior or parts with different colors, etc. People will always judge. The project is yours! Make it yours. Own it! In the end, you and you only will get to enjoy your project and like Stacy said "Drive it like you stole it!"

America needs more shows like this. Teaching men how to be men, working with their hands. Instead of dancing and gossiping youtube channels.

[@giggiddy]

Sadly that ship sailed. Young American men are more interested in playing video games in their underwear with their beastie sitting in their lap. They aren't interested in turning wrenches or learning a trade. Sure, there's the exception. But the majority are bed-wetters. Thats why the younger women are going after older guys. Theres no testosterone in the pillow biters their age and they'd rather be seen with a guy with some gray hair than a whiny jobless turd whose not sure what gender they are from day to day. Cheers
