Sarah, the only thing I'll say is something I've already said: Do what you need to, and keep up the awesome job you're doing! No joke, what you're doing isn't easy, but anyone who watches your content knows: It all becomes worth the wait when you know you did everything right, and you turn the key for the first time.

Quality over quantity.

Woohoo!!! Couldn’t have said it better myself. Take care of yourself Sarah and keep up with the little details, they are the things worth paying attention to!!

Sarah, 20-25 minutes is perfect. Channels that typically have 40-60 minutes I FF through. Your editing and content is perfect. I do not skip through any of it 😊

[@thegammas]

Spot on correct - I skip past many a video (tl,ww - too long, won't watch) or fast forward through the longer videos as they are typically full of boring fluff. I agree Sarah has found the sweet spot

[@duckyjp17]

I totally agree with this.

[@Fraser-369]

Sarah, your video quality has always been top notch. YOU may not think so but it looks fantastic to us out here in KZbin land.

[@janrdoh]

Got to appreciate how Sarah does all this grubby work and never chips a nail.

15:14 your head fits perfectly in the transmission bay lol! And yes please make some longer videos Sarah!

[@wild_lee_coyote]

Shout out to Sarah’s turn around too. This is not footage shot a month ago they have been sitting on. This was shot yesterday and today it is gracing your eyeballs. Keep up the great content. Maybe this will help keep a kidney in your body.

[@SarahnTuned]

Thanks! Yeah, I typically only sit on car reviews (for a couple weeks), but those are to give me a backup plan incase I get sick or injured.

[@Schaneification]

As a old fart that work on my own cars , then tanks in the army to building 55 to 68 foot sailboats . I love watching you work . Not like most youtubers you pay attention to details !

[@RobMods]

16:00 Sarah, thanks for talking about this. I wish more high-sub YT creators would do this. A 20min video on my channel will often have 50-60 video clips, 50 voice over takes, and hundreds of edit points. Plus audio EQ, compression, mixing. And often also video colour grading, and my original music. I take time setting lighting, framing etc, I use a gimbal for moving shots. Not to mention the free information from someone who has decades of experience in the topic... Thumbs down and silly comments from people who have clearly not watched the whole video are very hard to stomach, especially in the beginning. Congrats on a great channel and keep it up!

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Quality is super important. Love the work ya put in Sarah!

[@EddieDexterStewart]

Watching your videos is like watching a fun, delightful Mash-Up of a Supermodel and a Super Mechanic.

[@davidweaver2156]

Thanks!

[@SarahnTuned]

Thank you!!

[@mikeperry2814]

Most KZbinrs videos seem long because they are either boring or need major editing! Your videos seem like only 10-15 minutes because they are exciting and fast paced! I also can't get enough of an intelligent, pretty lady schooling many of us guys at working on cars!! :) Happy New Year!

[@davidweaver2156]

Sarah you are one of the most talented people on you tube. Very much enjoy your videos regardless of if it's a review or restoration. Keep up the great work and I look forward to spending another year with you.

[@ethanhoward8268]

You're truly unmatched, I don't think I've seen any other creator not only fabricating to this level, but also filming and making it a funny experience

[@tnak004]

You are simply talented and have right mentality. I did a lot of resto mod and restoration on old Subarus and NA MX5, Hondas etc. Restoration or resto mod is a long long journey with a lot of money is needed. You need to have an ability to think, plan, do brain 3D imaging, have a parts hunting ability and no compromise in parts quality. That’s why many people give up.

[@xpatsteve]

Still watching, still care, love what you do! Your passion for quality in what you do for yourself, and for your viewers, is what makes you stand out in my opinion. Okay, that and you're overall quirky and loveable qualities.

[@ronnytm]

In general, I'm pretty allergic to tv shows which cut between shots too quickly. I've always enjoyed your editing style, and how it matches your taste and personality. Also the music is always great!

[@doublebackagain4311]

Appreciate your open, wide eyed, hit it builds. No arrogance. Humble honesty. Enjoy the channel 😊

[@williamburkholder769]

As a former training content and AV producer from the 1980s, I loved your comments about watching media from the past and comparing the pace of scene changes. It's accelerated quite a bit over the years! As a result, attention spans demand that content be visually exciting... challenging, even. The techniques of computer-controlled multi-image slide shows from the 1960s-1990s made their way into video editing and now we have 30 second commercials with 50 clips in them. Documentaries tend to have longer clips, but some of them are getting ridiculous. I appreciate your in-depth videos with longer scenes and clips! BTW, this is an amazing build. I miss my '84 Celica GT. It was loads of fun.

[@charlescdt6509]

Its a great day when Sarah drops a video.

[@bobuncle8704]

I just discovered this channel and now I have to go back to the start of this project. The 1st gen Celicas are my favorite Japanese vehicle ever produced but my current project is a '77 Datsun 620 "Kingcab" (while eye rolling and doing air quotes) with a yet-to-be-determined engine swap. Right now I'm prepping for a full body-off-frame restoration with my focus on completely rebuilding the front suspension and media blasting, powder coating, replacing everything. You're channel is very inspirational!
