As soon as i got out of school, i clicked on your video. Im loving this car so far. Yesterday you just had 630+ subscribers and now you are almost to 1000. I like this channel more than vice grip garage. He used to be really good. Dont get me wrong, i still like his videos but i think he forgot his roots a little bit. This is pure automotive content. Cant wait to see a part 3 on this beautiful camaro

​@user-ft4lj2vw9t I agree with you on VGG. His videos have gotten boring and too dang long. He's more like a auto shop teacher nowadays. Just bland and boring. I used to watch every video that he put out but now I rarely feel like sitting through a long monotone video so I just skip them.

I don't know what to say... I just kept shaking my head through your two videos. lol I cannot even imagine what it would take to make that a car again. The thousands of dollars it would take to try to make it decent would probably cost more than trying to find another one. My only thought is maybe if you could get another one and use this one for whatever parts are not completely rotten. I hope you didn't spend much money purchasing this one. 🙄 I Do Wish You Luck!! 🙏🏼
