More impressive than that is the fact that they are not using Youtube to make assholes of themselves like most people their age are doing.

I admire them.

I don’t admire them.
However, they look like their present and future is/will be bright.

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.

couldn't agree more - I have been a fan since the mustang rebuild...they definitely put in 100% effort, and their skill set is amazing for their age. they are just willing to try....and figure it out as they go and ask all the right questions. Are they a professional TV show, no.....but I kind of like it that way I watched their disassembly video twice just to learn....its good stuff!

I researched salvage cars, it suggested 20-40% off retail. Salvage stays on title.It follows the car forever.

Asked a mechanic one time at a chevy store, how often when you have a car torn apart do you have fasteners left over. He did not answere but started laughing. I got him.

Meh. Once I saw Topline wheels I thought safety.

ok, nice to hear you don't admire them but still see a bright future for them.

I enjoyed the videos so far. Subbed. Impressive to see these youngsters throw down with a low lift and super basic tools. Also noticed the Chinese wheels after hearing them hype “OEM ONLY” for 4 straight videos lol.

“MAN!”. Same here. They are comedy.

Great idea and great way to utilize YouTube in my opinion. They're probably making some serious cash from these videos, considering their subs and views. The profit margins on the actual completed vehicles will not matter. Great way to turn a hobby into revenue. Can't help but like these guys. Watched the whole Hellcat and Z06 builds after stumbling across the channel last week.
