    Every other "flipper/builder/youtuber" needs to watch your videos and take lessons... I mean, I would have done it to my own car for sure but you went so far as to clean the dirt from behind the rear bumper cover when all it needed was a clutch!!! That's next level attention to detail my man. Seriously though, LOVE your videos, keep doing exactly what you're doing.

I've watched all of your videos, great motivation to work on my 98 cobra, like my former Termi it only has bolt-ons and low mileage. One of the very few car channels I can watch, most have annoying intros, rap music and yelling. Congrats on the success. Looking forward to seeing your blue Termi get a paint correction

'B' is typically between the doors, but since the stang is a coupe (2 door) it only has 2 sets of pillars,, the front & the rear, which are 'a' & 'b' respectively.

I would make one for ea car you build and flip. Then for ea one you could do purchase, build, and sale. One thing that did annoy me personally though was how many times you repeated yourself or recapped what u had done but I would save the recap for when you have it buttoned up. These are merely suggestions that I think would help your content which I already love.

    Can you be honest... If you didn't do UA-cam would you go this in depth with these cars when you're just flipping them? Because man, you are insane with the level of quality you put into these cars

      He's pretty much always been this way. Even before his videos took off.

      I'm not on UA-cam and this is the way I've always done my cars...even the ones I bought with the intentions of making a quick flip get the full treatment. There are people out there that do it the right way...we're just few and far between unfortunately.

      Been doing it this way long before youtube. My way of doing things won't allow it any other way
