So You Wanna Start An Automotive YouTube Channel? - Here's My Story

I've had so many people ask me how I got started on KZbin. Also I get asked all the time for advice on starting your very own KZbin Channel. Figured I'd make a quick video giving my experience and hopefully help some of you "take the plunge". This KZbin channel has been absolutely life changing for myself, I encourage all of you to take the first step and start a channel today.
This is a different style of video for the channel so let me know if you liked it. I'd love to make a few more video's on the subject if that's something y'all would find interesting.

I’m naturally an introvert. KZbin seems to be my outlet. I can show folks my stuff and not have anybody over. Haha.

[@unchained20000000]

I was searching youtube for nova builds and ran across this channel from his nova build and kept finding myself watching more and more of his vids …. you know what they say, if you find yourself visiting a channel more than a month. You might as well subscribe to it to support what you feel is worth supporting. and I sub to him because he is keeping the dream alive, if we don't have and support gents like him then we will lose these fine machines to the smelting pot.

You do a great job, 56 needs a hood scoop. just me.

[@ricksalmon4916]

I’m one of your “Older” viewers. I can’t help that. But your videos are the first I look forward to. You are living proof that the average guy can accomplish almost anything in a two car garage! Please keep ‘em coming. What I can’t get done I’ll live vicariously thru your videos. Thanks Dan! And Dani!

[@mountainsgarage]

Older guy here at 55. I have lived the Hotrod life from childhood, invested all my money and time into cars, tools and a shop. My entertainment was watching other car people on KZbin, one night there you are with your whiteboard. I was inspired and got started with my own channel the next day! I am currently paying my dues in the trenches just worrying about good content. If money comes someday it’s going directly back into the hobby. I appreciate the pep talk, I try to give you good advice and wish I was close enough to really be helpful. I consider you a friend and will always owe you a debt of gratitude! Thanks! Shawn

[@Chad_M_NY]

I hope you prosper more in the future with all of this, what got me hooked on your channel is, here is a guy in his two car garage churning out cool cars. That's real world. No big bucks budget, just hard work and dedication. Thanks for doing this for all of us blue collar workers. I appreciate kicking back and watching your channel.

[@fitzeesfabrications]

Nicely done. You nailed. I been pushing others to start channels. The people you meet and the kind words makes it all worth wild. Keep up the good work

[@ronnyinwaxhaw]

I’m 66, and live near Charlotte NC. I’ve been watching for a while and I’ve commented a few times and you’ve answered. I’ve owned some tri-5s in the past, but the coupe that you built from scratch brought me here and I subscribed. I follow so many KZbinrs that I no longer watch regular TV. Yours is one of my “must see” channels. Guys like you are putting out real “Reality” programming. Also most KZbinrs are sole proprietors which makes it more relatable. Thanks for your time and efforts, I really enjoy your channel. In the past, I’ve posted a video or two and had a few negative comments. I would just say “Thanks for watching.” I have a GoPro 5 and a ‘79 El Camino that I’m going to do a restomod and document it for KZbin. I’m not looking for revenue bucks, like you I just want to document the build. I’ve watched both videos you’ve done about being a KZbinr, thanks for sharing the “real story”.

[@leroydavis1948]

So I’ve had a few classics but none have been as big of a project as the 57 Ford Fairlane 500 that I’m working on right now. Your videos are inspiring and give me ideas all the time. and the thing I like the most is you are just a down to earth guy with a passion for cars. Keep up the good work man! 👍🏻

[@martinmayhem7122]

Down to earth and real - you should have 100k subscribers! Been watching since the beginning of the 57 build, enjoy the live streams with you and Dani and the fur family! Take care as always you guys - the work you put in the garage, and then these videos, sure is something to respect!

[@davekrommenhoek7573]

Dan! NONE of your KZbin work is a waste of time......EVERYTHING you do is awsome. I never miss your videos. I've actually learned quite a bit watching you. You gave me a lot more confidence to do what I want and love. I now know I don't have to listen to those hopeless critics. Thank you so much Dan and please don't stop. I won't.

[@chrisellis935]

I admire your confidence young man keep on going

[@sneakysgarage2412]

You are doing a great service to show how to get things done and keep the oldtimers happy and hopefully help a younger generation get into it.

[@joeb9553]

Dan, Thanks for sharing your experiences and telling it like it really is. I started watching at the beginning of the 57 two door conversion and look forward to seeing your next video's. Your videos show how you can work out a home garage, no fancy shop, no fancy tools, just what you have around. Anybody that has the funds can have a $100K + car built at a fancy shop, but you've shown your subscribers how to do it themselves in there own home garage and be proud of their accomplishments and you should be proud as well. You have a great support system in place and my hat is off to you. One last thing, MORE MURR!!!! Thanks Joe, New Hampshire.

[@marioa1272]

Dan this video was really good , you put things out there that people like myself appreciate. Nobody is perfect and you always say you don't know anything, but I was always told that the person who said that they know everything really knows nothing. My whole life has been about old cars and trucks, so I know what you mean and you are sincere in what you say. Yes life gets in the way of things and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Projects get put on the back burner so you can keep the rest of your life moving on. I have been turning a wrench since I was 10, so 50 years later I'm still doing it and not stopping . I'm not rich and never will be ,but I'm happy to do what I do . So I say you and everyone out there keep doing what you are doing ,if it's building something from nothing to watching someone do and appreciating it . Than you did a good job!

[@Richard4616]

I have been watching your channel for at-least as far back as the 71 Nova. It’s good that you can have these conversations with subscribers to show your appreciation for us. You are the one who has brought us to your channel. You showing that you are humble and appreciative goes a long way with me. Keep up the good work and do burn out. This is a shout-out from Dayton Ohio.

[@gseyank100]

Almost to 57k. This is awesome. Congrats

[@tombuehler224]

I absolutely love what you are doing and how you do it. You don’t get hung up on making things perfect and you learn from your mistakes. You’re just the every day guy doing the best you can. Love it!

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Youre very right about viral videos. My first video is by FAR my best video (Im not in it LOL), but since then its been a steady downward slope. It just eats away at your soul, kills you little by little to a point where you feel hollow and dead inside.... Thats youtube for me.

[@maxfastest]

Definitely love hanging out on my favorite you tube channels and learning or just being entertained. I've got 45 years experience in the Automotive world. Building, improving. Racing. But to watch anyone else doing what i do eventually ends up teaching me something new and interesting ! Keep up the great content and good luck with whatever you choose to do.

[@FD-is1ug]

I love that you are not flashy,just a down to earth love for cars...I hope you can do KZbin full-time and get a nice shop one day

[@fknfreddy5625]

Morning Dan, to cut down wind noise when you are outside try putting a little piece of gorilla tape over the mic opening on your phone. It cuts the wind noise substantially but still allows the mic to pick up tunes,engine noise, talking ect, and it is an easy cost effective way to do it. I've tried wind socks and tape works better when I do live rides on my bikes. Have a great day. ✌

[@billnewns4138]

I just love the look of the 56 all “half done” behind you. It takes me back to my days of building and hot rodding. You do a great job of just being one of the guys hanging out in the garage. Thanks for stopping by every few days.

[@jmcgee3490]

You are so right my friend. Cars are an addiction. If you have the bug it’s hard to explain to others that don’t. Keep doing what your doing man, I love watching! Thanks for taking the time to include us and making these videos.

[@artpam]

Keep up what you're doing, it's fantastic because it's real. So much phony crap on TV. Hey any woman that will help you bleed brakes is a keeper! Make sure she knows how much you appreciate her every day.

[@dirtydeanis4428]

You are far from a hack, just an average guy fixing up old cars and that’s what appeals to so many people myself included keep doing what you do always look forward to the videos!!

[@toddsheppard9920]

Good vid! I continue to watch your channel because you and Dani are so real. Just a guy, his gal and a few dogs. You are relatable because your are a hard workin blue collar kind of guy like the rest of us. It's refreshing to see you and your channel grow.

[@edwardammerman2179]

[@Loki13M]

Trying to get back into drag after 8 years and stumbled across Scotty's channel (Sketchy's Garage), after a few conversations with him he directed me here for some tech/build ideas as well as encouragement to start a channel once I get to building. Scotty credits you for getting him started on YT and I am beginning to see why. Keep doin what you do, hopefully by summer I will be giving you real mechanics something to laugh at with my build.

[@keithporter2637]

Dan your videos have continually inspired me to complete my various car projects, and to just get out there and wrench on something. Just finished picking up a 1967 C10, which was inspired by your C10 series. My friend was sending it to the shredder because he felt it was way too rusty to be worth anything to anyone. I knew from your videos how simple the rust repairs were and learned how to do a short bed conversion. Keep up the great work, and remember always stay humble and hustle hard, and good things always will come your way.

[@RustnAway]

I’m at 3500 subscribers with about 1.5 years in. I think you hit the nail on the head that you have to do it because you LOVE working on old cars and trucks... not just because you want views.

[@Bruceanddenise]

Good stuff man. Thanks for taking the time. Your first video explaining the 2 door conversion, ALMOST got me started on my own content. You guys are a really cool couple, Dani gives me as many laughs as you do Dan. Her laugh, is legitimately, laughter. No pretense, nothing fake, cracks me up when she cracks herself up. You've given me no excuses to keep from getting started.

[@charlesball8872]

You mentioned that a lot of your fan base is us older farts. Basically, I think we’re living vicariously through you! We’re remembering how we did the exact same thing at your age- only without a camera!! For example: I’m almost 70 years old and now have physical handicaps as well as being older. I can no longer do what you can do- I can in my mind, but not in the body! I enjoy watching you work on the very cars that were “under my own wrench” if you get my meaning! You’re simply repeating what a lot of us did in our youth, therefore that’s the attraction!!! Keep em rolling on!

Dan, I came in when you were doing the 2 door conversion on Danni's car and thought, "damn, this guy is just hacking shit out and buggering it back in!" it actually gave me hope that maybe I could do some light butcher work myself. Thank you for being real bud.

[@davidblinn8251]

Dan - there is a ton of content out there for us auto-voyeurs, but one of the things that makes yours so great is you make it all seem do-able, compared to many people with their plasma tables, multiple lifts, etc., and things that I can't imagine working with. Don't get me wrong, I love those, but I enjoy watching your work, as well as you and Danielle hanging with the dogs. I started watching shortly before the lockdowns, and have enjoyed your channel immensely. Keep up the great work.

[@bobbymuse7793]

You have the right blend of attitude and aptitude, and you have a good variety of projects. You absolutely pump out content. Not surprised you have an old dude fan base (47 year old here), because your subject matter appeals to people who have loved these cars for decades, and maybe some of them see a bit of themselves in what you’re doing. Keep up the good work.

[@SweatyFatGuy]

I found you with the 4 door to two door conversion. That was your watershed video. When I can't sleep, I think about building engines, if that doesn't do it I build a transmission in my head, when that doesn't work I think about block sanding quarter panels and that always works because it makes me want to sleep while I am doing it. I have an addiction to old cars too, my entire life has been built around old cars and making them drivable and go faster. I'm not big on making videos, not like I am about cars. I wish I had made video of my last five builds rather than taking pictures of it, but I didn't start watching youtube until about two years ago. I am still amazed I have over 100 people who subscribed to my channel with the minimal videos I have on it. Despite having schooling and decades of experience, I too am a hack.. Good enough is good enough, perfection is a metric crapton more work. Been doing videos of my projects every now and then over the last five years, one of my problems is I can't film and work at the same time with what I have. The other things are I don't like to see myself, I rarely look in a mirror even, and the sound of my voice on tape irritates the hell out of me. I'm getting better about it, but I don't want to inflict my visage on others any more than I have to. I know, nobody cares what I look or sound like, people in my life don't seem too bothered by it, but I am.. Keep doing what ya do Dan, you, SRC, and a couple others keep me motivated to actually do stuff with my vehicles beyond my own personal drive, even if I don't make videos of it.

Car addiction is better then a drug addiction. I stopped working on old cars for almost 12years. Went from fixing them to towing them, towing was a worse addiction but after i got sick the old cars started following me home again.

What I like about you Dan, other than the obvious Tri five connection is that you seem like a cool genuine guy, and you haven't developed an adversarial relationship with your audience. And then you addressed it! One of the first channels I really like, the poor guy, he only focuses on the negative comments.

Definitely a cool vid man some awesome tips. Like u said the shootouts help big time! u mentioned me lots and each time I get a few more subs and people commenting. Helps put wind in ur sails. I think my content is lacking a bit with shorter vids. im going to try to keep the camera rolling longer. Seems the more I try the better it progressively gets. Averaging 20 views a vid with 88 subs its already more than I expected. I just have fun with it and wanna have a chanel thats both entertaining and a catalog of my builds and hot rod adventures

[@jasonmorgan3709]

I think it’s pretty awesome that you are very encouraging to everyone else to take the jump and start a channel. I also think it’s great that your real motivation is to get other people involved in saving old cars and hot rods! You are correct that they aren’t going to be around forever. Wish they all could be saved! New cars have some cool features but they just don’t have that character.

You nailed it in may levels. Ive been on this for 10 years . Time is my biggest problem now the last few years. But I still am addicted to it and haven't left you tube , just no time to right now like I use to have. It's a lot like a club . I've made a lot of friends over the years .

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Hey Dan! I've been a fan since, well you pegged it, the 2 door conversion. You among others inspired me to create my very small channel. 6 months in and basically everything you said is true. It's like a whole second job so you have to love it. I do have kids and a full-time job so I approached it slightly different. It's not all auto based content. Everyone has things around the house that needs fixed so I figured if I'm gonna do it I might as well record it and put it out there to help others. Keep up the great work and thanks for some further inspiration!

[@davidsantos8206]

Great video Dan. This is my 2 cents. I think you have come a long way, since I 1st started watching your channel and the sound (volume) was awful at times. I enjoy not only that your videos are informative but I also love the type of cars you are working on. There are people out there that have more subs than you, because they are funny. They do the same kind of videos as you, but they have funny comments during the video. And for that silly reason they get more subs. In these difficult times, helping people to laugh, and showing auto repair, is great. Even if I don't always like the type of vehicle they are working on. But I wouldn't start telling jokes or saying funny things now on your videos, as that is not you. And it would sound forced. I say if you like what you are, and you are making a little money on the side. FANTASTIC! Don't change a thing. Do you know how many people only wish they could do what you do? And have a girlfriend or spouse that would support them. I'd say you are a very lucky man. As usual, thank you for entertaining us. P.S looks like you hit your 57k subs (between you and Danni) I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not 500k but it will get there. I'm sure

You say that you not very skilled, but I’d respectfully disagree. You have a ton a great content and your vids are entertaining and informative. You and Danni are a down to earth couple doing what you love. You inspire people to get into their own projects and for that you deserve a huge pat on the back. Keep doing great stuff while you enjoy it.

Thanks my friend

Danny, you are such a good kid. I’m twice your age and can’t wait to see your videos. When I was young, I worked like you. Today, I’m successful, but certainly not rich. That said, I raised two great kids that are successful!!! I’m happy and always interesting in learning. Thanks for the videos 🙏.

I enjoy sitting back in the evening in my chair, with beer in hand, and seeing what shit you got accomplished that day. You do everything I wish I could do. I get tired just watching you. LOL

This was a really good video, lots of great information. And best part is it was heart felt, honest. Real. Thanks.

i started watching your video's about a year or so ago..the reason i watch everything you put up is.. i enjoy watching a down to earth guy doing what he loves.. and is willing to share his way of getting a hot rod built.. weather it is the right way or not..anyone can buy a hot rod but it takes a true car lover to build them from scratch..i appreciate all the video's and look forward to those to come..

We have 22 subs but we're not counting. Like you we want to keep the classic car culture alive. Its channels like DD speed that keep the next generation in tune to this addiction we have

Thank you as always to the both of you.
