You're thinking like a consumer, they're thinking like content providers. The build provides multiple channels of income for them [merch, ad revenue, Patreon, sponsors]. The worse off the car, the more videos they can do.
It's amusing, I know the average temperament here seems to be surly SOB, but if you can find a way to hate on these guys its time for a hard look in the mirror. Super inoffensive, actually put in hard work, last projects have been Mustang GT, Corvette Z06 and Hellcat, they put production value in videos and are doing a shop build while saving these great cars from junkyards. Not only that, they do it the right way, no half-assing. Frame repair, all OEM parts, prepped/booth multi stage paint jobs. They're the closest thing Gen Z will have to Powerblock TV, I had Stacy David, Goonzquad is that for a new generation.
