Jon, thanks so much for sharing the journey on each of your builds! I have learned a great deal from you. God bless you with peace, happiness, health, and safety.
I would rather have a person clear minded and enjoying what you love, with family and sharing videos... than pumping out videos and not enjoying what you love. Know that we thoroughly enjoy all you have shared...and teaching us who are trying to do the same thing for the love our vehicles.
I will not give up playing cars, nor sharing the story on video. just disappointed on my growth on UA-cam but not much I can do about it plus the fans I have a fantastic so it’s all good again.
Jon, Thank you for all your time and effort you put into your videos. I started watching your channel a couple weeks ago and have been binge watching your videos. I recently purchased a 71’ Nova to restore ….i didn’t know where to start. Thanks to you, I know exactly how to approach the restoration. I’m am fan. Keep up the good work!!!
Very cool. These birds are assembled very close to the same as your nova I could see how these videos are beneficial. Thanks for watching and letting me know. Best wishes on your project
Jon, we love your videos. Everyone needs a break and everyone should have a life that'is more important that demands their love and attention. We aren't going anywhere!👍
Yep, we are true supporters of your channel, love the work and information that you're willing to share! Hopefully UA-cam issues come out ok and make it worthwhile for you to keep sharing Awesome content!
Jon, no need to apologize. Take all the time you need. I really appreciate all the knowledge you have shared with us since the beginning. Thanks for giving of yourself!
I appreciate that! It’s been busy and extremely hot to have time to play cars still making forward progress on the mockingbird and my high school car too
Totally understand. Frustrations with making videos can be a pain. We appreciate your advice when we started our channel. Your content is top notch and highly sought after, no matter when it comes out. Thanks for all you are doing. I’ll be down in a year to help block sand, When I learn how to.
You are welcome to come block sand anytime. It’s a messy job that is for sure. I was happy to help you guys get your channel going and watching the progress on your car is a great pay off too.
Glad to hear you are hanging in there, the heat can slowly get to ya as summer wears on , everyone needs a break , take time and enjoy life , it goes by very fast
You know I don't miss a video ,you share a great project and very detailed we all appreciate your time and the love of firebirds and you always answer any questions I have!
Everyone needs a break every now and then. Family comes first! Thanks for staying positive. I can’t imagine how much time it must take out of your week to crank out 2 videos with the actual car work, filming and editing. But I for one really appreciate it! I can’t even put in to words how much your videos have helped me!
Yes! Thank you! It does take some time and I didn’t start UA-cam to make money but the last few months it been on a decline and last month 1/2 the pay it was discouraging. I am over that now and I will get my stock pile of videos going again
I am glad you are back! I am sure there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that those of us who have never produced anything for sharing on UA-cam have no appreciation for. Regardless, your talent and ability to share your in-depth knowledge are very much appreciated by those of us who subscribe to your channel. Personally, I have learned a lot from you...and when I find myself facing a problem on my rebuild, I find myself saying "what would Jon do?" Thanks for bringing us along.
The puzzles and problem solving keeps the excitement of building cars going for me. Creative solution are awesome. You don’t have to spend crazy money on tools or facility to make a great car
I have been following your channel for 2 years now and have not missed a single episode. There are plenty of UA-cam channels that restore 1st gens, most of them have high end workshops which don't relate to what we have at home. What I also like about your channel is your sense of humor and you are not afraid to show us your mistakes or setbacks. Keep up the good work, Jim Australia
Right on! A large shop would be amazing and make it a little easier but then it’s not relatable to the normal guy restoring a car at home. I started in my parents backyard on my first car I didn’t have a garage. Making it happen with what we have is the plan.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos!!! I'm 61 years old (WHAT?!?) and I still have my first car (68 convert 400 4spd) that I bought when I was 19 (from my oldest brother!). Been wrenching since I was a teenager so I've been ALL over that car... Your videos are SO inspiring, informative, and concise! Can't believe how much you pack in each one! And NO FLUFF!! I can honestly say, hands down, I've learned more practical Firebird info (and general restoration tips and hacks) from you than any other UA-camr I've watched. And I've watched A LOT. There is NO WAY you are being fairly compensated for the priceless info and invaluable education you are providing. All I can say is THANK YOU JON and PLEASE keep up the EXCELLENT WORK!!!!
That's awesome! I laughed at you being 61, then realized I'm racing towards 58! I still have my 67 convertible Camaro that I bought when I was 14 and parked in '91 after college with the intention of a full resto. Yes, I've become "that guy"! Have a great weekend.
The thing that I lost focus on was the why I started, it was nice watching the UA-cam analytics and channel growth it was a nice reward but for the last 6 months flat line then the last month it was a major decrease like 1/2. It was discouraging. If I was doing UA-cam for a living I would be in trouble. It was a nice bonus to offset car building expenses. I feel it will pick back up.
I've been meaning to comment on this. Sorry that YT gave you some grief, just know that what you are doing and sharing is the highlight of MANY of us out here and you ARE motivating me (as well as others) to get out and save our Birds. Keep up the amazing work.
You bet I am not going anywhere, just got home from the trans am nationals in Ohio. It was amazing the number of people who felt the same and really made me feel like I was definitely do some good for the Firebird community. I had a fantastic time and looking forward to next year
lots on here have said it better, Jon you're an amazing teacher! a natural storyteller, your blocking and paint prep info is awesome! - the fix it yourself community has deep appreciation for helping demystify the hundreds of jobs that is car resto work. Family first - take the breaks and come back when you can. Thanks for everything brother 🙂
I appreciate that! I do enjoy building cars and sharing the process. I was frustrated with UA-cam because for the last 3 years been on trend with the same growth rate . For the last six months flatline and last month which is normally the best it showed a significant decrease. Like down by 1/2. It was a bit deflating and lost my love for the videos. The wife and kids reminded me why I was doing it and we are back in business
Completely understandable, there’s a whole more to life than working on a project car , especially when you have a family and are a homeowner etc etc . I really appreciate all of your hard work that you put in on the cars , videos. Keep up the great work. Keep videos coming we’ll watch em .
Love your videos Jon hang in there brother! Boy we can use some of that rain you are getting here in CO. Fires everywhere and the smoke is really bad. 95+ degrees and almost impossible for the firemen to fight. Brutal conditions.
Thanks for all you do. Definitely need a break sometimes and always family first so no need to be sorry! Can’t wait to see both of those cars done and especially excited to see what’s next…..
Thanks man! I was hopeful UA-cam funds would help offset the expense of a special GTO project. I have at least 2 more years before that one hits the main stage maybe by then things will be gooder.
I know the feeling… It’s tuff putting yourself out there, those that don’t create content don’t quite get what’s all involved and how it can mess with your head. Keep it up buddy - I appreciate your perspective and what you’re doing. THANKS FOR SHARING! 👍
I appreciate that, it does take some effort and additional time to record things. It actually slows me down quite a bit to make a video. I could get more cars done if I wasn’t recording but I see value in sharing the process good and bad. You keep up the good work as well sir.
I really dig your content. I'm 60 and have never done body work on any level, always been afraid to do it because I'm a perfectionist and can't stand the thought of spending a ton of money only to screw up my dream cars. I can't afford to spend near 6 figures having a car done at a shop, so you've inspired me to take the plunge. 67 Firebird is one of my bucket list cars. Thanks for doing what you do!
Very cool, it takes a little trial and error when it comes to body work. But you have the advantage of UA-cam to get a little guidance and expedite the process
Keep diggin baby! You have helped myself and so many people with your experience and guidance in the 'VVG way'. I am not sure what YT has done to cock things up for you but I am sure some MBA somewhere thought it was a 'great idea'. Which is where most good things meet their demise. I am pretty sure that is a Class in MBA schools 'Screw up good things to justify your existence 101'. Hang in there bud.
Thanks friend. Earning money wasn’t the goal with UA-cam and I kinda let that part slip. UA-cam does pay and it was on trend for the the first 2 years a steady growth to be honest of it stayed on that trend I would Be getting nearly $1,000 a month for my efforts. That goes a long way when building cars, we know it’s not cheap. Instead beginning 6 months ago it flatlined then about a month ago it decreased… significantly. Views and subscribers are still on par but pay cut way down. So I got discouraged and frustrated. It was no fault of my fans or viewers so I will just keep going and stick to my original plan. Playing cars and sharing the ups and downs.
Keep it going bro. There’s plenty of you small UA-cam content creators making google billions. It’s just a fugged deal. Good things will come. An old friend told me when I took on my endless (25 years) endeavor to help things that cannot fight for themselves. Stay positive and keep fighting… you do an incredible job. As good or better than any pyrotechnics channel. I have no time to invest in bullshite. Keep your head moving and throwing jabs. 🍻
Yes! Thank you! Made several trips here last few months, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee to visit family and friends so now it’s time to get back to play time
definately keep them going. Your videos attracted me for the firebird content but it applies to all car restorations. Ask me how I know. If you ever get to Europe let me know. I would love to do a travel versions of your show.
That would be amazing where about are you? I made a trip to Arizona to replace a roof panel once just for the fun of it. A trip across the pond is a possibility
@@VinylVillageGarage I am in Luxembourg. Great place to use as a base to see several contries. Belgium, Germany and France are liitelrly 30 minutes away. And no, it is not in Kentucky 😄
I wish I lived near by you so I can go and help you block sand the fire bird and question my life choices, but really if I could I would but work and living in Florida doesn't help. I read your mission statement for the lack of a better term, and it mentions having a mullet as a kid and that somehow determines being a fire bird owner, I just think that is funny being that I never had a mullet and now I have no hair but own two trans ams. Love your channel learn a lot watching you. God Bless.
@@VinylVillageGarage You have to put the mullet picture somewhere on your channel and maybe the next bird could be called the mullet bird or something, I know it is a bad idea.
There's an old saying that goes something like "the only ones who will remember that you worked too much are your kids". Like you were going to stop after you cracked 10K subscribers and are close to eleven! I'll say it again, you should have a million for the quality content you put out. I have a feeling you're channel is about to explode because I think a lot of people are looking for what you post. Good luck my friend, and thanks for doing this!
I agree with that statement part of the reason I changed jobs a year ago now I do spend a lot of time with the family and still have time to play cars. I never started UA-cam to make money but it would be a nice side effect and help offset the expense of building cars.
Hey buddy great videos and you are right people that are doing trash out there on their videos are the ones getting the big paycheck what's that a next bird
Dude, there is a million idiots on UA-cam trying to be charming, informative and be like VGG guy. But you awesome, I am a 45 year film veteran and a director, your causal style while showing how to actually get something done, is great. You only get better if you keep trying. In film there's two golden rules, good sound, good lightning if not it looks like a 4th grader shot it. I am only one guy watching, but I enjoy your videos.... cheers Mike
Very true. I set out just to show what and how I do things. Not as just an entertaining experience but share something that can better life’s not take away or mindless entertainment. It has to be genuine I know but just being me sharing what i love to do was the goal. I kinda let that slip and had a reboot. Thanks for watching!
Hey Buddy, your show is great because you're in a small garage, like most guys do it. you keep it real and do great work. one of my projects is a 69 firebird convertible. I am building a few cars for my charity, Ride Along Racing. RIDE-ALONG RACING Bring on the thrills, the smiling faces, and the sounds of laughter and revving engines. Buckle up and settle in for once in a awesome opportunity to ‘’ride along“ with professional, infamous, Stuntman Mike Kirton in his outrageous resto-mod 1969 Stingray Corvette track car, “The Atomic Bomb. Ride Along Racing provides exclusive entertainment, specifically for children with special needs, or handicaps and wounded American veterans, who would enjoy the heart pumping experience of racing, . There is simply nothing like the exhilaration one gets speeding down the straightaways and bolting around the corners of an SCCA prepared autocross course, as copilot with a trained professional at the wheel. Each participant will receive a professionally captured and edited video of their “Ride-Along” experience free of charge and full of laughter for them to share and enjoy for years to come. Semi-retired notorious Hollywood stuntman of the 80’s & 90’s Mike Kirton is legendary for his antics on and off movie sets, worldwide. His associations with film making and entertainment have led to participation in children’s charity events worldwide. This sparked Mike’s new idea and personal challenge to create Ride-Along Racing, a charity program designed to inspire and thrill, while building lasting memories. With a specially prepared swivel out passenger seat, to help accommodate our special passengers, the safety of a race helmet and secure seat belts, we’ll fire up the engine and the video cameras. and start roaring and racing around the autocross course to beat the winning time. Each experience will leave our special passengers with a life time memory. With every rider comes an opportunity for our backers and sponsors involved with Ride Along Racing to become an immortal part of their great memorable experience. Come join us in the fun, and to honor the strength, accomplishments and courage of our special passengers. cheers Mike

But you awesome, I am a 45 year film veteran and a director, your causal style while showing how to actually get something done, is great. You only get better if you keep trying. In film there's two golden rules, good sound, good lightning if not it looks like a 4th grader shot it. I am only one guy watching, but I enjoy your videos.... cheers Mike
Very true. I set out just to show what and how I do things. Not as just an entertaining experience but share something that can better life’s not take away or mindless entertainment. It has to be genuine I know but just being me sharing what i love to do was the goal. I kinda let that slip and had a reboot. Thanks for watching!
Hey Buddy, your show is great because you're in a small garage, like most guys do it. you keep it real and do great work. one of my projects is a 69 firebird convertible. I am building a few cars for my charity, Ride Along Racing.
RIDE-ALONG RACING
Bring on the thrills, the smiling faces, and the sounds of laughter and revving engines. Buckle up and settle in for once in a awesome opportunity to ‘’ride along“ with professional, infamous, Stuntman Mike Kirton in his outrageous resto-mod 1969 Stingray Corvette track car, “The Atomic Bomb. Ride Along Racing provides exclusive entertainment, specifically for children with special needs, or handicaps and wounded American veterans, who would enjoy the heart pumping experience of racing, . There is simply nothing like the exhilaration one gets speeding down the straightaways and bolting around the corners of an SCCA prepared autocross course, as copilot with a trained professional at the wheel. Each participant will receive a professionally captured and edited video of their “Ride-Along” experience free of charge and full of laughter for them to share and enjoy for years to come.
Semi-retired notorious Hollywood stuntman of the 80’s & 90’s Mike Kirton is legendary for his antics on and off movie sets, worldwide. His associations with film making and entertainment have led to participation in children’s charity events worldwide. This sparked Mike’s new idea and personal challenge to create Ride-Along Racing, a charity program designed to inspire and thrill, while building lasting memories. With a specially prepared swivel out passenger seat, to help accommodate our special passengers, the safety of a race helmet and secure seat belts, we’ll fire up the engine and the video cameras. and start roaring and racing around the autocross course to beat the winning time. Each experience will leave our special passengers with a life time memory. With every rider comes an opportunity for our backers and sponsors involved with Ride Along Racing to become an immortal part of their great memorable experience. Come join us in the fun, and to honor the strength, accomplishments and courage of our special passengers.
cheers
Mike
