Joel, your videos are truly a blessing. It is delightful to see how much you care about these Giants and Americana and preserving them. Keep it coming my friend.

so amazing to see how they come back to life! Great job.

I checked out GUS'S on Google maps and saw that the giant is in the street views, but what's funny is Google maps blurred his face.

[@AmericanGiants]

Haha, they always do! Every Muffler Man out there has a blurred face.

I like the cowboy

[@LarryRobinsonintothefog]

[@NikiCanotas]

When I get my next building! We’ll have you save him and make him or another one to bee beekeeper!!!

[@jesaca93vance48]

I live in wisconsin

[@NikiCanotas]

Why wouldn’t everyone want to root for all these muffler men??!!?,😊❤🎉

[@lowbudgetbob1155]

Just curious, why aren't stainless bolts used (bolts look like grade 8) or anti seize on threads of the grade 8 bolts?

[@AmericanGiants]

We have started using stainless bolts in our more recent restorations but International Fiberglass certainly did not use them back in the 60s.

[@DavidPinner-r9w]

​@@AmericanGiantsstainless steel was expensive in the 60s

[@DavidPinner-r9w]

I wish someone would save the one in Beaumont Texas the new owners have no idea who and what he is

[@Brandiemh]

Miss seeing that Indian

[@DavidPinner-r9w]

You can bring him to my house I will take good care of him 😢 poor fellow

[@robdailey2014]

Joel, I absolutely love this video! I don’t know why, but one of your videos came up in my feed on KZbin and I have always been a fan of muffler men. So I just had to watch it and I am now hooked, and subscribed to the channel!! I’m from Illinois. I’m just minutes away from Atlanta, so I can’t wait to take in everything that you’ve done. Would love to know where you’re actually located here in Illinois. I sent you a message on Instagram. Hope to chat with you soon

[@AmericanGiants]

Glad you enjoy the channel and hope you enjoy your visit to the museum soon! I actually live out of state and the restoration shop is in Southern IL near Carbondale but is sadly not open to the public. Doing our best to get things restored and up the the museum so they can be enjoyed by the public. Thanks for watching!
