Stay positive, it's ok not to feel up to par. God bless, I like watching this project

[@RottenBuick]

Thank you! I’ve been trucking along.

[@DavidM-u8u]

Just so that you know you do a great job no matter what's going on... your good at the work and at hosting and explaining...your a natural man... keep up the good work! 💪

I appreciate that! I really do!

Your build is awesome. I will call it Frankenstein. Christine's cousin. Good job.

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

Frankenstine.

[@ToneHobart]

It's coming together. I actually enjoy the slower approach to this. It's what's in the fine details that will show in the finished product.

[@RottenBuick]

I worry about that. I worry people will get bored. 🥱

[@Christos-y6w]

I was watching bad chad Bugatti build for a long time but he never wants to finish the car . So i give up on it and came across this channel and this is down to earth plus it is my most favourite car in the world plus this channel seems more positive and nobody seems to be getting lectures . I will share this channel great work .

[@RottenBuick]

@@Christos-y6w I know what you mean. Yes. I was also watching Bad Chad but he seems very negative in my opinion. You need to appreciate the thousands of positive comments and not focus on the few negative. Confidence in what you’re presenting is important. I try to be honest about what I show on my channel. I’m not “teaching” but I’m showing what I’m doing in each given situation. I appreciate your feedback very much. Thank you.

you are a good teacher of custom car building. hope you and yours get well soon.

[@RottenBuick]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@tony--james]

Another thing I noticed here 🤣 the way he's leaning into the car, resting on the seat as he puts the shifter in, is almost the same camera angle, and body position, as when Moochie was stabbing the seats, and smashing the dashboard up, particularly the radio in the movie

[@RottenBuick]

The actor who played moochie cut his hand really bad filming that scene and just kept going.

[@tony--james]

@@RottenBuick yeah, I know, read about that ages ago,, Also if Christine had been able to stay at Arnie's parent's house. This wouldn’t have happened🤯

[@jamesferrell9404]

I know how it feels to not feel normal. Had a stroke over 3 years ago. And haven't felt right since. My balance is bad and sometimes i forget why i am on a certain road or how long i been on it. And very little motivation to finish my current project truck which is a 1940 Ford pickup. It sucks for sure

[@RottenBuick]

I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you should make a list of things you want to accomplish on the car each time you’re near it? Then just cross one or two items off the list. It might help you get motivated and maybe get back into the groove. If you’re in some facebook groups just post your progress. People will encourage you along. I’m glad you’re here hanging out to watch the videos. But I really hope you can find the motivation to work on your project. 1940 ford is one of the best looking trucks ever made. You’re definitely fortunate to have one. You can do it! 💪 put on some good music and have a good time.

[@jamesferrell9404]

@RottenBuick I've been slowing working on it. Waiting for a radiator that will work with the SBC it has in it. Looking forward to seeing this car come about cause they have beautiful lines to them. Just like a 57 bel-air another beautiful ride

[@RottenBuick]

Let’s just be thankful aluminum radiators have gotten so cheap.. remember when they were all super expensive? ☠️

I appreciate the kind words. I have seen a little personality change in some of the creators I’ve watched. And of course I listen to a lot of mini documentaries about creators on KZbin who have thrown it all away. 😬 But fortunately I really love working on cars and I never thought I’d want to do any type of social media stuff because I thought it wouldn’t be a positive experience. But I was wrong. It’s been a lot of fun and really motivating.

Keep working at it bro eventually that car will look the way you want it to look I can tell you're trying to make Christine my favourite car is well is the Plymouth Fury I don't know why but that car is always been my favourite ever since 2023

[@RottenBuick]

They’re really neat looking cars. And they have the best feature ever. Fins!

[@NoahBaumann-o5e]

@RottenBuick ikr the only thing why I like them is just the name the front of the car the design it's just so nice it's a perfect movie car I'm pretty sure if they used a different car it wouldn't fit in well a Plymouth Fury and such a horror movie just fits so perfectly like it's just a really beautiful car I just have no words I don't know what else to say except it's a nice car

Dude - Don't misunderstand me, I love everything you've done so far but I think the standard shifter was the wrong way to go on this. Maybe you already addressed this in an earlier video but I think you should have stayed with the iconic push-button automatic transmission shifter on the dash. To me its one of those quirky little details like the rear view mirror on the dash that just makes it more genuine. I love a standard as much as the next guy but I hink in this case you should have stayed with the original design. Otherwise everything else is looking awesome!

There’s no gas tank in the car and the windshield is ruined anyway. But I do cover the glass when I’m welding around it. The rear glass is more of a concern than the windshield. Since it’s in good shape.
