    Ben...I have been watching "that far" for several years, I remember you working in your parents garage. You give me hope that the cars of my youth won't just fade away. Thanks for saving that Corvette, and congrats on the big steps in your life. I am old, and want a C3, but at almost 6-4 I am afraid I am too tall.
    Yes, want to see the shop stuff. I built my dream shop 15 years ago and now we are moving, between the cars, tools, and parts this isn't going to be a fun summer, LOL. all the Best to you. As I said, you give me hope.

    @99goat99 2 роки тому +12

    I for one want to applaud you for essentially saving a classic Vette. Some would have looked at that car as it sat in the field and thought "parts car" at best. You make a 3 into a 6 or 7. Now it's a car again, and someone could either make a real decent summer cruiser out of it. Nicely done, sir.

    100% show the shop build, look forward to it. The best advice I got when building mine was to put everything you can on wheels. It makes it so much easier to keep clean and organized as things change and evolve.

    @rubyred93chev 2 роки тому +1

    _Thank you Ben for saving this 1972 Corvette t-top (as we called them back in the day). The bottom line: your asking price is reasonable for a driver quality C3 that has so much potential. Now about your recent acquisition and the new shop, congratulations. (I think a lift or two will be a nice addition to make wrenching on customers' cars, and your own a dream come true). Best of luck on the property purchase. You and your wife, and your beautiful family deserve it! Looking forward to the buildout of the four-stall garage/mechanic shop, and subsequent videos._

    YES on the shop build. I never could afford a Corvette, married had three kids and that's were all my money went. But don't regret the way my life has gone so far. But, I did get to drive my Air Force buddies 1972 Corvette once back in !973. It was gold and 4 speed. Had a lot of fun. So watching your video's helps me remember those days. Keep up the great content maybe one day you tube will really pay off.

    Congrats on the new house and shop. As for content on the shop, I want to hear your rationale behind what floor treatment you pick, what lifts you pick, what shop equipment you buy and in what order. No wanting to watch you roll out a floor but want to know why you chose the product you did if you get my drift.
    Thanks and keep up the good work!

    I would like updates on the new shop.

  • @beatglauser9444
    @beatglauser9444 2 роки тому

    Congratulation! You got a dream shop I have been dreaming about for 30 years. And you really deserve it.
    In Switzerland you could not buy a lot and build a storage place this size for less than 300 000$.
    This Corvette is exactly the type of car for a man who can mainly do body work (like me) The grat fact is that most of the mechanical problems or the car are sorted out. If I were not drowned in projects and I could afford it, I would love to own it.

  • @timothyballinger6280
