Is there more of these? Or dull length ones? Pls?

First step: intentionally paint a model old and rusted. But that was the art - the whole thing.

Do the ‘70 mustang next!

What is this?! An auto mechanics shop for ants!?

Better than one for Mantids...

I make miniatures, and I’ve made stop motion, and I gave up trying to figure out how long something like this would take me about 5sec in. This is an amazing display of about 5 serious talents!

I can't picture those wheels on anything other than an Oldsmobile though

If it was really authentic, the lift would say Bendpak.
jaggcomputing5
Splendid!

The car is cool yes but everything else going on here is pretty rad too
FarNorth60
The whole junkyard and shop like a dollhouse for mechanics.

That was pointless....(excitedly) now do the Mustang !!!

I bet he still can't find his 10mm.

I'm imagining the tiny little person who owns it and he is absolutely thrilled

Welcome to Marwen.

So they stripped off a pretty detailed custom weathered paint job for something that looks like it came off the shelf at Walmart? *yawn*
fred12df365
I too thought the effort to get to the starting point is high. The end result is still better than off the shelf. And I suspect the point was the making of video
Mansoor68729
This whole video looks so real that at the end I was waiting for the car to actually start running.
jetah
might want to get that lift fixed. one side being faster, or slightly higher, than the other could cause issues later on.

Fake! I cant put my finger on it, but it aint right!

Amazing! Just how tall is that person?

This guy is HUGE!

A normal amount.

Ok, same thing, but with those little yarn frogs as the mechanics
jaggcomputing5
The frogs are fabulous. So clever, wholesome and cute.

Fantastic work. I had a 56 Bug during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Kept the body, used a 67 chassis, 68 transmission, and a 72 motor. It was a bit like putting together lego from different eras but the design never differed so it was all interchangeable. Alas I had a tussle with Greyhound bus and lost. The bug saved me with its thick sheet metal body but did not survive the damage.
oldguyexlurker
Well, well, well, Mr. Cash. How many headlights came on? Did the title weight 60 pounds?

The six volt system was horrible. There was no seal or insulation on the chassis. My good friend at the time had had 32 bugs by that point and he guided me through all of it. Most of it was scrap yard or second hand. This was also the days before the internet. Imagine scouring broadsheet newspapers for cars for sale. Prices were lower but so much harder to find.
oldguyexlurker
Yeah. We had a 6-volt bug when i was a kid. I agree. Later we had dune buggies. The fiberglass body ones like Speed Buggy. One had a pancake engine. One had a bored out 1600cc (don't know what it ended up as, but I caught a Buick with a V8 while the asshole tried to run away from me after literally running me off a dirt road. After checking for damage, I got back in and caught that guy in less than 10 miles. Then I chased his ass until I had to turn back for the gas I'd gone to get. /1
oldguyexlurker
I hope he had to replace his upholstery. I was just over 16 and he was going slowly down a dirt road and kicking up a bunch of dust. When I went to pass him, he sped up to keep me from doing so and moved over to make me run off the road. Guy was about my age now. Odds are he's dead and gone, and good riddance.
pullingsixty
Good on ya. Once in a while I see a 66 or 67 and I get very nostalgic. My friend that I mentioned and I drove from Toronto Ontario, Canada to BC one summer. You're probably familiar with the 4 bolt connection from the engine to the transmission. We made the trip with only the top two bolts. You could watch the engine pushing out when revving. That was a 66. Good times.

This is exactly how easy and fast auto restoration videos would have you believe that "You, too, can save a vintage dream car".
Fantastic video, tho! Texas Yellow 111?

(shade tree mechanic) when I started the project, that tree was just a sapling

https://youtu.be/B13vXFj37RI I’m addicted to this ‘73 Datsun restoration. The series isn’t finished yet though. Best of all, no talking, no music, just some shop sounds & subtitles.
MaliceQahwah
I don't even need to open the link xD great series. His other no -car videos are pretty good too. "I make new one" - proceeds to hand turn a replacement screw for a 1800's apple press or something.
GoodChange
Good tip. Really skilled guy with all the right tools
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
Most of the car 'restoration' vids I watch are of vice grip garage trying for hours upon hours to get an old car started and 'drivable'. Rarely do I dip into the actual restoration, but when I do this is what I like to see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHqNAja1tzM

Derek reinvigorated my enjoyment of car restoration videos. Previously it was Roadkill and the various sub shows but discovery pulled the plug on them - the hosts from the motortrend shows are all doing solo YouTube channels now although I think the traction is slow. Finnegan's been doing YouTube for a while covering blasphemy rebuilds and his boat stuff.
TheBlueMuppet
I love VGG, but given the political climate, I'm always cautious. He *does* seem like he actually gives a shit about other people though, so that may be my clue.
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
Yeah, have had to step back from so many content creators because I just can't support people that promote hate. As far as I have seen he seems like a swell guy who just wants to do his thing and seems to help people around him/fundraise for kids and such, granted I only really watch the old car bits, but so far so good
TheBlueMuppet
It's really good to throw on when I'm working on my RCs, or programming, cause it's something along the same mental lines.

The before probably took more time to paint

My dumbass thought he found an old car.

The giveaway is the lack of actual damage from the rust.
