Congratulations Ben. I’m proud of you. Hard work pays off. I’m 67 years old. I’ve learned a lot from you and I appreciate you and your work. Take care.

Congratulations Ben! It is well deserved. You have tremendously entertaining videos that have helped hundreds of people like me work on our projects. I'm very happy for you! Enjoy!!

One of my new favorites right here, the fact that you showed us pretty much every square inch of your shop and were upfront about cost and such , that shows integrity, glad to see it all come together, I hope you sell a ton of parts!

It’s always cool to see someone finally realizing their dreams. That’s a great setup to do the work. 👍

Ben, you have an excellent set-up and I know you’ll make the most of it. I’m proud for you.

Congratulations sir. Hard work does pay off in the long run. You have a very nice place. You and your children will be able to enjoy it for generations to come.

All human beings are capable of accomplishing a lot of things. Some are just more capable than others. You're the man, Ben!

I’ve enjoyed your videos for years Ben. It’s great to see the Caddy again! Congratulations to you and your lovely wife on the newborn. If I wasn’t many thousands of miles away, I’d volunteer to computerize your parts inventory, sweep the shop, be your shipping clerk and keep the Cadillac clean. Keep up the good work and give the wife and kids an extra hug. Love from Istanbul.

Awesome shop Ben! So glad to see you getting a workplace that is on par with the knowledge, skill and experience you display in each video. Can't wait for many more C3 Corvette projects!

Who else remembers the townhouse and the rear garden setup?

That's awesome, Ben! Congrats! Have watched your channel from the get-go, impressive what you have accomplished. Best of luck, I'm waiting for your next video!

HI CORVETTE BEN. GREAT SHOP TOUR AND SHOWING ALL OF YOUR CARS. ALL THE HARD WORK Y'ALL DID PAID OFF. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE C3 VETTE VIDEOS. YOU DO AWESOME WORK. TAKE CARE.

All I can say, thank you for everything you do. I've been wrenching for 43 yrs. You are awesome.

You've done so much to move forward with your future. I think Scott at Cold War Motors would be proud too. A great version of working shops in your own style and for your own needs. You are why I found CWM and I really appreciate it.

Your success is due to your hard work and developing a plan and sticking to it. You have come a Long way and all of us car guys are applauding you wholeheartedly . I first started watching your channel when you rescued the fifty-three Olds. That inspired me to rescue a 1954 olds 88 and then another 55 Olds 88 came onto the seen. I got the 54 up and running and sold it 2 years ago now I'm working on the 55 and will have it running before long, it had been sitting in a field behind a guys shop for about 25 years. My first Olds was a fifty-four 2dr. HT in 1957 when I was 17 now I'm 83 and still wrenching on cars only a little slower. Lots of patience to you while working on those Vettes.

Congratulations Ben , it looks great and is well deserved. Will be looking forward to seeing more of you doing projects in the new shop.

Congratulations, Ben! A very well nice and well thought out shop. The dream of many of us!

This is amazing. I am so happy for you and your family. It seems that your hard work have payed off, and you now have better conditions to do what you like to do (rep. and building Corvettes), and making videos for all of us.(Even over here in Denmark). Huge congratulations. 😄

Super congrats Ben! For years to come you will have the fulfillment of knowing and experiencing that you and your wife made it happen. I can easily see you computerizing your parts shop as that will certainly boost the business end. Now, please take care of your health and give quality time to your family so you all can enjoy your growing business. p.s., I always enjoy seeing your Red Corvette…awesome dream car.😊. Peace and strength.

I'm so happy for you and your wife, kids, and Chop Stick and Noodles too. Congratulations and I wish you all the very best and much happiness in your new shop and home.

Glad your still around. You have worked your tail off. Glad for you and keep it up.

Nice job, I can imagine you have been running yourself ragged between new house family & shop, I love it. Hopefully it will make working easier for you.

Best of luck with the new shop, and may your new home always be blessed.

Couldn’t be happier for you! Looking forward to seeing the Corvette content to come from there. Hard work and focus does pay off. Congrats from Arkansas.

Hard work paid off. Great channel. Congrats to you and your family.

Awesome shop, congrats. Very much well deserved. Glad to see someome to help keep old Corvettes on the road. And the odd Cadillac and Pontiac too!

Hard work is it’s own luck. OOOOOW, that T-Bird looks good. Maybe someday?

Great set up Ben, Congratulations on the new place. Hard work pays off.

Congratulations on everything 👏👏👏. I love watching your videos. You know so much about corvettes it amazes me. 👍

Congrats. You have done sooo much work. No need to apologize, it is a work space not a museum!

this garage needs only one more thing, an El Camino

Hey Ben I almost never comment on KZfaq but I have had two corvettes in my life of 74 years. A 1971 lt1 and a 2000 c5 which I still have. I have watched your videos for a while and have enjoyed them. I am happy to see you and your family are getting ahead. Great job on the new shop and property. Good luck and hope all goes as you have planned. Looking forward to more great videos.

Congratulations Ben, shop looks great and looking forward to seeing new videos in the future Sean

I'm proud of you, Ben! You and I are both accomplished men, and I have great respect for you! Beautiful shop, too!!

Congratulations on the new shop and home! You, your wife and kids deserve a good home, so keep the vids coming and make some vids with wife and her Pontiac.

Excellent job Ben! Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to buying one of your projects cash money simply because you have impressed me that you are one of the most genuine people in your expertise that I’ve ever seen anywhere. I’m not far away because I live in Houston Texas. Thanks!💯✅👏🏼

Congratulations Ben! Hard work almost always pays off, you deserve yours. Thanks for letting us share as you grew.

Noodle and Chopstick must approve of the new play yard!

Congratulations on your new shop and home. Wish you well.

You sure have come a long way from working in the driveway on that Studebaker. Congratulations on your new endeavor!

Hard work pays off! Congratulations!

Hard work and determination, great stuff , although i kinda miss the chickens

So happy for you with the new shop. Well deserved.

Congrats on achieving every gearhead's dream. Great job on moving up in your dream.

Beautiful shop 😊 enjoy the fruits of your labor; you very much deserve it. 👍 Thanks for the tour!

Love the shop! I know you are proud of it, I would be!!!

Looks nice, for some reason the shop looks way bigger from the outside. I like the skylights. I would imagine if you did an update video in a year, all of the cars out back would be different.

Good Job Ben! First Rate. I bought my house in Florida in May 2019. Before I moved anything in, I thoroughly degreased and cleaned the bare cement garage floor, etched the floor ,and epoxied it my self with the Rustoleum RockSolid products, I put the speckles in AND used the clear coat too. It was a lot of money for me but it transformed the place. Everything just wipes up and looks so nice. The finish is very hard. It is great. I never had a garage so nice (I am 65). My 1930 Ford Model A looks like it is in a TV studio. (I have to clean up my stray boxes of stuff too!) You won't regret it. Way better than bare rough cement. WATCH OUT because epoxy floors do NOT like UV light. They will yellow. My garage door faces east, so I am careful to keep the doors closed in the morning until the sun is NOT shining on the floors. Make sure garage floor is in the shade when you want the doors open for any length of time. That's why you never see epoxied cement coverings outside on the driveway. Outdoor Cement Floor paint can be used outdoors. Cheers, Chuck in Florida

Great work Ben! Looks like you’ve made an excellent space to do what you do. Best Wishes to you and your family.

Happy New Shop, Ben! Hope you have many years of happy wrenching.🛠

the shop is really nice....i hope to see a lot more of your videos on corvettes cause i really enjoy them....i've had the pleasure of owning 4 of them presently i have a 69...again good job!!!!

Congratulations, Ben. I'm glad to see that the license plates have made it to the new shop.

The shop looks great. I wish I had a lift in mine, but I get by without one.

Congratulations on this beautiful shop May the Lord continue to bless you and your wife.

Great shop, Congratulations !! All the best. Looking forward to some new Vette vids.

A friend sent me this video, and just want to say - Congratulations! That's the dream achieved right there! And... something I definitely want to emulate to a degree!

Good job Ben. Great shop. Thanks for the very informative videos. You've helped me learn a great deal about my C3 vettes. God bless you and your family and the dogs. Semper Fi fellow jarhead.

I love this guys work, I live in Pennsylvania. Buy I would send my C3 corvette to Texas to have him work on it. I would love to have him rewire my entire car.

Nice work glad the shop is ready, it will get lots of use!

Good job. Keep up the good work that you and your wife are doing. great to see you back,

Way to go Ben! What a set up. Something to be proud of for sure. I hope to build something very similar minus 1 bay.

Congratulations on the new HOME & SHOP/BUSINESS!!!!! I have a 1980 Vette….you have been a wealth of knowledge and I come to you 1st when working on my Vette!!!! Congratulations again Dude!!!! Awesome to see you GROW!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for y'all!

great shop...it will serve you well for years. so much hard work! I'm here for the C3's, but a '64 Merc is one of my fav non-vette cars...super history on those cars...hope it makes it to the channel some time.

That’s so awesome that you did this! Very excited for you and the family. And I love how you have it all set up from front to back shop.

Congrats on the new shop and home. Like all major projects it will take time to work out the large and small details as you work on your Corvettes and old cars. Most of us have been through that. Again congrats.

Nice shop. All shops are a work in progress. You could have a 10,000 sqft shop and it not be big enough. There is always something else you want to do with it. Keep doing what you are doing and have fun.

I'm so happy for you!! You have worked hard and still do. Don't feel like you have to justify anything. Best of luck and I look forward to more videos.

Good for you Ben! That additional parts/break down room was a great idea as well. I'm so envious!

Congrats on the new shop, they are never big enough.

Ben, Congratulations! Well done buddy. Hope to see more of your videos to come. My name is Luis and I own a 1979 Vette. The first one I own and I’m 65 years old. I love it! The shop looks perfect.

Congrats on the new shop! It looks awesome!

I remember when you were working in your family garage. Congrats, Ben, hard work pays off, luck has very little to do with it. I think you did a great job designing a space that works for you. Trust me, if you work in them they never get spotless, at least mine doesn't. My only gripe with the floor stuff is you really do wind up ruining it if you weld at all, or run a plasma, etc. In my shop epoxy in the fabrication area is destroyed...but moving some of the machinery to re do it is just not on my list. Too dang busy. I wish I had done the skylights, those are nice!

nice upgrade on the property. I look forward to each of your videos

Congrats on the new shop. I enjoy your videos since I own a 71 Vette and I have a love affair with all Vettes. Hard work and being smart pays off. Stay smart ; )

Well, good for you and your family! 2 acres for the kids to play on! Lots more room in your new shop for projects!

Beautifully done! I sincerely hope it does the job for you and that we get to see it doing its job! I'm sure others have suggested that you get a good alarm system for your new shop. You've got a lot of valuable stuff there and I'm sure you'd like to keep it. An alarm system that's monitored 24/7 is not a huge expense and might just help lower your insurance premiums as well as provide some peace of mind. You've worked hard to get what you have. Protect it! Congratulations!! Looking forward to seeing you work your Corvette magic!

The new shop looks great!

Congrats! That's an awesome layout.

Congratulation - Your shop is every car guy dream. I find your videos very helpful and educational. I did not see the dogs, missed them.

_Almost ten years in a few short weeks here on KZfaq Ben. I know for sure I've followed you since some of the first C4 Corvette videos. (Probably just a bit before your '73 Red Corvette convertible purchase)? Your expertise and mechanical knowledge are why I subscribed in the very first place to your channel. Also, your honest and upfront personality is why you will continue to succeed in all your dreams. Glad you have two acres now, and a big & little shop to make those visions come to fruition._

Wow Ben you’ve come a long way since I discovered your channel , I can tell you are proud of your shops and and you should be !! Help my 71 convertible hardtop interior roof has shrunk and is falling on my head

Little did I know when I started following your site many years ago what it could or might come to.... BUT! Here it is, and all I can say is that it is deserved and earned and is a great example of hard work rewarded. GOOD FOR YOU! (...and good for us, too.) Okay, now, LET'S GET GOING! Dan in Bangor

Been watching since the first video of when you picked the Caddy up - this and impressive result from years of hard work

Congrats Ben, you worked your butt off for your dream, so you and your wife ENJOY every moment. Take plenty of film and pics, so when your older like me you will have it all documented and folks and your kids will believe your story. I am also a Corvette lover, as a kid I dreamed of them and at age 19 I got my very first. Since then I have only owned Vettes, except I also had a Porsche and a Camaro. I own now my C7 Laguna Blue, I also want a shop with bays just to store any future vettes to add to my collection. So one our home site I bought additional acres with creek. So now I’m looking for a cheap fixer, since we have no kids due to injuries and wife served in Marines and I AIRFORCE I wanna build a c3 with our nephews and teach them all about cars and corvettes. We watch all your films so keep them coming and again. Wishing you only the best of luck with your new home/shop. Nelson & Rita.

Not surprisingly, you are on the path upwards. Very nice facility.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will be looking forward to seeing you crushing it there. That shop is something to be envied fo’ sho’….

Your shop is better than some of the Chevy dealerships I've worked at over the years! I believe it when you say a lot of hard work. Nicely laid out and pretty much all weather capabilities. Looking forward to the next Corvette repair and future projects

It’s nice to have space. Well deserved

Congratulations Ben.

Congratulations on the success! The shop looks great. TEAM EFFORT.

Congratulations on the new shop. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Everything seems well planned and well organized. Best of luck on all your future endeavors!

Congrats…..u defintely deserve it….keep saving these precsious vettes one specimen at a time!!!

Looks absolutely great Ben. Keep the videos coming.

Congratulations! Well deserved. It is nice to see honest people doing great.

Great job Ben! you have come a long way! Love the sky lights that give you natural lighting. Look forward to the next video

Congratulations on your new shop. Love you videos. I have learned a lot from you. It would be great to shadow you in your shop. I am sure I would learn a lot. You deserve you success!

The new shop looks great! I’m looking forward to all of the new projects you’ll be working on. 👍🏻

20:12 Congratulations, Ben! Looks great and I’m looking forward to some great videos! Congrats on the expanding family as well.

Welcome back and congratulations

Dereck at Vice Grip Garage sure tore into an old Corvette recently. He just wanted the engine out of it. The rest will go to the junkyard eventually. Nice to see you back.
