Is It Any Good?

In my classic car world, summer is for driving and meeting people, winter is for restoring.
I've been contemplating for a while how I can keep the channel going in summer when the pace in my workshop is going down. This is what I'm coming up with: a new format of films, in addition to the restoration films on my channel.
Five minute features about cars. Car individuals. The style, the state, the way they drive, their history and whether they are any good. The restoration they were undergoing, the repair projects their owners have in mind.
A bit like a bunch of guys standing around a car with a beer in their hand and talking about it.

Really love the mood and atmosphere you create in your videos. Background music is perfect. I sub to several channels and I find yours the most entertaining to watch. They are thorough while at the same time the projects seem accessible for a mere mortal if they apply themselves. I also watch islandworks channel. He does amazing work too but I always come away feeling a bit depressed. I’ve invented parts for the firearms industry so no stranger to fabrication, but that guy is so hyper competent at everything (especially CAD, 3D printing and engineering) that I always come away saying well that was cool, but there’s no way that, as a shade tree mechanic I’ll be able to do that. I already have a nice hot rod 911, but you’ve inspired me to get a project car going for my son who’s only eight now. So eight years until driving age. Gives us plenty of time to learn skills to build up a nice little car. Maybe another 911 or possibly a little Alfa. Keep up the great work. Like the idea of featuring other peoples cars as well.

Man, thanks very much for the extensive feedback. Such an enormous joy to read this. I’ve signed up to Islandworks the other day but haven’t yet seen enough to comment. I’ve been working in the domain of sImulation and CAE my entire career and that’s I guess the reason why I’m looking for greasy fingers today.

Thank you, Rodney. BTW it appears we have a mutual friend. I had a chat the other day with Jan, the owner of the magnificent viper green Ölklappe, you can actually see us standing round his car in the film. He told me he had an eye on the car eventually ended up being yours. Rings your bell?

@@GreasyFingers Yes, I Jan has been following my build on pelican parts. He is very lucky he did not buy my car, it had a lot of unpleasant surprises under layers of body filler. His '72 is beautiful. Jan was very nice to also send me a lot of detailed pics of his car during restoration. I also love Viper Green. I'm torn between Viper Green, Signal Orange, and Tangerine. What is the English translation of Olklappe?

@GreasyFingers 2 жыл бұрын

@@rodneynelson3862 Yeah, you never know what you find. Jan‘s car is going to be featured in an IIAG in September. Ölklappe means oil flap. Heard the German term in English publications so I thought you guys use it too.
