Yeah that one was fun. Sometimes nothing goes wrong and it's a bit too boring. Lol.LOL That was the one where they installed a catch can because it had so much blowby. Every hundred miles or so they had to stop and empty the catch can right back into the engine!
Yeah, that was pretty good. I'm hoping they do a vid on a teardown, just what gave up in that mill. Thing is, that wouldn't make a full vid, so it might show up on... whatever other social media sites they have, that I don't go to. Which would be a bummer, but... plenty of other content to watch.Yeah that one was fun. Sometimes nothing goes wrong and it's a bit too boring. Lol.
I don't know who was first on You Tube, but coldwarmotors first will it run video was April 2010.Dunno bout that. Dave's Farm was doing that around 2009 or 10. Back when You Tubes limited video length.
The “lose” ones are usually the most entertaining as it turns into a “what is the cheapest truck I can find on marketplace and will it haul this thing home XXX miles?”"Vice grip garage" is a very good and family friendly channel. He posts all his revivals win or lose.
Except for the ones that weren't successful. Sometimes they make it partway home. Often brakes are the hardest part. It really isn't that hard to get an engine running with a carburetor and mechanical fuel pump, or an electric in line pump. They can almost always get it running. It's the transmission and brakes that make the getting home part hard.These videos are not being streamed live ... Of course you only see the successful ones .
Sounds like a fun project, even if you don't film yourself. Just scope it out first, make sure the bottom half is still there. Up here, it wouldn't be.My dad’s 79 Caprice Classic has been parked in my brothers yard for at least 20 years now. It only has about 75k miles on it. About once a year I tell myself I’m going to see if I can get it running, but then I lose enthusiasm. Maybe I should film myself giving it a try.
that guy cracks me up, I'd watch him any daymy fav is pole barn garage. this guy is the champ at jury rigging
This. Plus there is a lot of editing done to cut out the "struggling bits" of the process. If half of their videos were just showing them walking back and forth to the tool box because they grabbed the wrong wrench, or trying 30 times to start the engine before cleaning the carburetor, nobody would watch. These videos are usually filmed over the course of several days often weeks.These videos are not being streamed live ... Of course you only see the successful ones .
Man that's what always made me chuckle about shows like Hot Rod TV: standing in a pristine shop with expensive race-deck-esque floor, nary a bit of grease under your fingernails.....and you assemble most of a small block starting with a bare block in ~5 minutes. Plus you never get the least bit dirty doing it and everything goes together perfectly. It's so fast and easy. Anybody can be a master tech, it's so simpleThis.
