Amazing vid man
Straight hit
I bet you can't wait to be rid of those crutches. I bet you never thought you'd be a rebuilt rescue project.
I wish i could help with your proyects, im an enthusiast of repairing things and giving them a second opportunity. The bad thing is that i live in spain and im studying for PPL, but i would love to work in your projects, they look pretty amazing and challenging. I have studied mechanic and electricity (and a bit of electronic) and repaired some things on my own (also worked in some jobs related with maintenance and repairing). Love your videos 👌🏼
What adventure
Came for the 401, stayed because you are genuinely an awesome guy. Keep healing up!!!
Same here… Can’t wait to see the yacht next
I agree! Look forward to every video posted! Especially on the 401!
He's a con man
@@benlyons5884 how so?
ditto
I love all the projects, but the ONE project I’m really interested in wasn’t mentioned. The yacht! I’m super interested in that build for some reason so hopefully we’ll get to see it brought back to life. Maybe another AMMO NYC collab?
I noticed that too!
Boat is nothing less than blue sky, nothing more worthless to non billionaires or millionaires is a yacht.
I was actually a little bit surprised that he went for that considering he already has the 401on his plate that people have specifically donated towards. Even more important IMO because he just finished committing to Sam to help him with BOTH of Sam's other planes and we haven't seen ANYTHING on those and then he brings in a yacht! That seems like so much outside his wheelhouse I'm afraid he's going to be spread so thin that he's not going to do justice to any of them - but especially to Sam.
@@greenthumb6875 and it’s a good thing no one here asked for your opinions regarding something someone ELSE is interested in. Otherwise you might think we care what you say.
Me too
One of my immediate watch channels now. I've never been a gear head, but your enthusiasm is infectious.
Same here!
Yep same
I have said it before and I will say it again....I feel when watching RR videos I should be easting a steak and drinking beer
A proper man's channel
got hooked on the 401 but now the boat, the cars the Cherokee. The channel is now looking more like a business than an enthusiastic rescue
It would be an unsuccessful business if people quit sending him money.
My favorite UA-cam channel by far! What you have done with this channel and your gift for communication
and including your audience works a magic rarely seen . . .You make it fun. . . and brother. . .these days that is badly needed!
Thank You to you and your team for including us in the journey! Health Peace and Joy to you, your team and your family!
I got my license in a 1961 Cherokee. I soloed after 3 hours. This started my career in aviation---20 years in the Air Force and 20 years flying for American Airlines. Keep up the good work!
David Lewis, do you fly a big ass 747 or something for American Airlines?
I am a photographer and I love taking aviation photos. When the 401 comes to South Florida, I will do a full set on it!
Jason we all appreciate your vision myself included but let’s focus on what got us all here and got you all those donations. Let’s get to work on that 401! One step at a time!
I believe Jason’s got more going on than he lets on…not sure this little tour tells the whole story. All this
“I’m so excited” stuff reminds me of a used car salesman or the guy that wants you to buy into one of his vacuum cleaner franchises…I’ve heard that line one to many times. Entertaining lots of UA-camrs & lining pockets with donations. Might be wrong, probably not…he’s a businessman for sure and a damn good one at that.
@@lpjbird agreed
Yeah sorry but the channel is losing its appeal with nothing but promises of future activities. I come here to see some rebuild action not a sales pitch.
@@phsycorider1973 So true!
Love the Sprite. A friend had one and it was one of the very first sticks I drove. A few years later I was a passenger in the MG version (Midget) when the driver lost control and smashed into an earthen embankment. My seat belt was fastened but the shoulder strap did not catch and I hit my head on the dash with considerable force. I’ve had chronic pain in my right shoulder ever since. That was 46 years ago. But I still love the little car and get a real charge every time I see one. I’d love to own this little baby.
As a former private pilot and now Paraplegic confined to a wheelchair. I live vicariously through your videos.
I’d love to help out but as you have discovered working from a chair ain’t easy. Keep up the good work, and when you get the 401 done bring it across the small pond to St. Thomas YQS.
Would love to see you there !
You help every time you watch one of our videos…. Like a video… Comment…. Or share !
You’re a part of the Rescue Crew and part of everything we will do on the channel and in the community.
All for one and one for all my friend 💪🏼
The 401 is definitely my favorite project. Rebuild Rescue Charities- what a wonderful concept. Wish you luck and hopefully quick recovery from your skiing accident.
Thank you Tim !
This is one of my watch immediate channels because I wanna see what new things your doing and see how your doing
Dude, at this point I'm more worried about YOU rehabbing your knee than any of the projects. YOU'RE what's important. Without you being 100% not much can get done. Just worry about getting better.
How true....
Me too! Whatever you do, make sure that leg heals properly, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Gives you something to think about.
Resting is not just about avoiding using the injured body part, but also about having enough reserve energy left for the healing process.
The body has energy for immediate use like moving around and doing stuff, but also reserves that the body uses for anything related to healing and recovering (the really important stuff). That's something a lot of people never even learn... Take care and keep your energy reserves high!
Ha ha fucking listen to yourself. He's got you hook line and sinker. He's a scab and a con man
I remember watching this last year and as someone who's had a knee replaced, I have felt your pain. I want the Austin!
I really love to see how people can share the same passion and work/ support each other that much!
Your team/ you have a ton vision. I love what you want to do with your new found opportunities.
Keep getting better!
Thank you Pastor Troy !
I discovered Rebuild Rescue when you started on the 401 and I have followed all of the videos ever since.
I especially enjoy the mix of projects .
Can’t wait for the next one what ever it might be….
Keep up the good work!
“I want the Austin Healy!”
I'm invested in the 401 project & look forward to seeing it come to fruition
More of the Yacht please.....this is something I’d love todo.
The people who get your stuff done that you couldn't do yourself are JUST AMAZING. They deserved this shoutout.
I love the positivity of you and your channel, I can't wait to see you tackle the yacht.
I completely support your plan to give away a million dollars and would like to volunteer to be the recipient, even if you don't finish raising the full amount. 😬
🤣😂👍🏼
I volunteer as well !
@@rebuildrescue dam that was such a good comment and all you could give him was some emojis ????
@@lemongrass7455 You might want to re-read his comment. It seriously cracked me up !
Now there's the million dollar natural thought comment.
I love the 401 project, hope you can make it airworthy.
I am the one talking about the world tour and donated from the Netherlands that was me!!!! :D So awesome you read that comment and brought it up!!! :D That makes my day!!! Greatings from across the pond Didier Neefe
“I want the Austin” Your a cool guy Jason and all for such a good cause. keep running this channel because there’s nothing else as good.
OMG your site is huge, and massive staff in the background, you really don’t get this from your vids, nice to meet your staff and to see what goes on in the background
Loving all the projects, I'm here in Strasburg and see quite a few broken down railroad cars over at the museum, maybe that's the next Rebuild Rescue project? From an editing standpoint, might be good to have a Project Status graphic to keep everyone up on what's going on with the multiple projects.
I'm waiting for the 401 to get finished
I'm a big aviation geek and grew up literally at the airport... So I'm partial to anything that you do that's gonna be airplane project related!!! Keep up the great work though and love the passion you have for all of your projects Jason!
So nice of you to want to help the younger generation. I'm 49 and when I was younger that was all I wanted to do was fly but could not afford it. Good for you all that is doing this
Should we start a support group for people who start too many projects at the same time? I will be at that meeting. :)
I resemble that remark!! :)
You can't just call me out like that! XD
Likewise... I keep promising my wife she can park in the garage again, just as soon as my projects get done... 🤪
Love the channel,, love to rebuild!! Rock on , heal up
Thank you Bud !
I owned and flew a 1966 Cherokee 140 (150hp, 2150lbs gross wt 4 seat version with the baggage area behind the back seats, essentially same thing as a PA28-150 without a baggage door) for about a decade and logged almost 1000 hours in it. Your 160hp O-320-D2A unfortunately is not going to gain a super big increase of horsepower with the powerflow exhaust, electronic ignition, etc, aftermarket STC'ed upgrades. What the new exhaust will do is let the O-320-D2A breathe free enough to make full rated hp without being strangled by the restrictive stock Piper muffler/exhaust which was a pretty awful design (except it was great for cabin heater performance on cold winter days, lol!), you'll especially notice much better climb performance but not so much top speed increase. Electronic ignition will get you noticeable improvement in smoothness and a little power boost too.... between those two mods, realisticly you're looking at maybe 10 more real measureable horsepower, 15 more max if everything about the entire overhaul / engine build is magically perfect. Lycoming's original 160hp rating for this engine was measured at max 2700rpm redline, under "standard day" atmospheric/altitude conditions (50F degrees temp, 29.92" baro, and sea level) with short open straight headpipes exhaust, not Piper's "potato shoved up its single tailpipe" muffler! Also you still gotta obey static rpms, max redline and keep that fixed pitch Sensenich aluminum prop spinning within its happy and approved published rpm limits, and you can only have its pitch twisted just so much by a prop shop. That wishful 190+ hp out of a certificated O-320, kept under its 2700 rpm redline and everything FAA-legal about it, simply ain't gonna happen.... and to the best of my knowledge and mad Googling skilz I can't seem to find anyone out there offering an STC for a turbocharger or nitrous oxide kit to slap onto an O-320 in a PA28, lolz!
But seriously, the hersheybar wing Cherokees are for the most part, speed-limited by their wings... the combintion of airfoil, wingspan, angle of incidence, and all that jazz... as incorporated into the PA28 airframe. It's a somewhat draggy wing with a lot of induced drag as the airspeed goes up, all part of the set of compromises that also makes this such a forgiving, easy and pleasureable plane to fly. The best thing you can do is make sure everything about the whole airframe is "rigged" as straight as absolutely possible, and make sure that nobody in the past has used a flap adjustment on one side to compensate for a "heavy wing" symptom. Just making sure the ailerons and flaps were adjusted perfectly on my old Cherokee 140 was good for literally 5 MPH better top cruise speed. It already had wheel pants on all three wheels and Hoerner-style wingtips when I bought it, and I did buy the Laminar Flow nose strut fairing add-on that covers the scissors and tow bar bracket of the nose strut assembly, and believe it or not, that one single speed mod really did live up to its claim of "up to 3mph" since I saw at least 2mph increase at max level cruise. It made trying to use *any* towbar on the nosewheel a royal P.I.T.A though.... fair warning about that downside. On a good smooth cool day I eeked out ~141mph TAS at 3500MSL at WOT 2700rpm on my meager 150hp, of course any higher altitude the rpm would get lower, but the TAS still stayed well up there as the air got thinner, horsepower lowered but drag lowered too. At 7500MSL going cross country, I could still usually manage 135-138mph TAS depending on the usual varying factors, running the throttle at "full rental power" and sucking down the avgas like crazy, lol! It was a fun to fly little plane until I got bitten by the RV bug after a friend who I helped build a hotrod Vans RV-8 with tossed me the keys to the brand new toy right after it was signed off into phase 2 status and said "take her to Oshkosh" since he had business meetings all week long that year during Airventure, so I did.... and then he continued letting me fly the RV as much as I wanted as long as he didn't need it and I made sure it was topped off with fuel before putting it away back into the hanger when I was done flying it and.... well, the Cherokee was put up for sale and I think I put only like 26 hours on it that last year I owned it... and bought a Vans RV of my own and flew around at 195-200mph TAS on 6-7gph for the next 5 years before hanging up my wings to pursue another more important adventure in my life.
So I can tell you now you and I would burn some late night hours chatting in the hangar about tons of things aviation and likely other things as well…. All of your points about the PA28’s are 100% correct and your points on the o320 are as well. I’m looking forward to building it and getting it on a dyno to see exactly what we have. 👍🏼
Speed enhancements for a Cherokee will come from a Knots 2 U catalog, wheel fairings and other aerodynamic cleanup, not from hot rodding the engine. And it will always be a Cherokee with a hershey bar wing so prolly shouldn't set expectations too high. Powerflow exhaust and an electronic mag will help takeoff and climb performance but again, we're talking incremental increases.
Your commitment to these projects and your resilience in the face of challenges is truly inspiring. It's amazing to see how your team's passion and hard work shine through in every video. Looking forward to the continued progress and success of all your endeavors!
Been flying since high-school, now about every weekend or so. Had several small planes, now without one. I so enjoy all your plane purchases. Love the AH Sprite, would LOVE to own it. Have two SLKs but really enjoy the smallness of AH. I'm also one like you, building wrecked and abandoned vehicles. In my 70s and still going strong, love your videos!
I want the Austin! That thing looks sick asf! Can’t wait to see the finished product!!!
500k subs, congrats guys :-)
Thank you !
Guys if you are paying close attention to number of the viewers, it's dropping! That's because you guys jump from the airplane to different projects, I personally am excited about the airplane than any other projects you guys are showing, I watch the video to the end just hopping something new has happened to the airplane.
I want the Austin, I love classic cars there’s nothing better looking than them and they sound awesome. Looking forward to see you ready to rock again, and also looking forward to the rebuild of all those projects, aviation has something unique that when you fall in love with it there’s no way back, thanks for the videos and keep rocking!
The amount of projects going on at once would make me go insane! And I want that Austin absolutely!
My dad and I have watched every video on your channel and we hope we can restore it further so it’ll be a perfect edition to the MG-B and E-type. So I guess we say, “I want the Austin”.
(Yes I have subbed and shared it to our friends and family and of course we have liked it as well).
Repost!: I said this as well on the “free car” video a long time ago but it’s still on! So me and my dad would really appreciate it if we got it.
Rubber nose or chrome nose out of curiosity?
& the e-type is the most beautiful vehicle ever created. Love them. Very jealous. 😉
@@gavtriple6 Of course its a chrome nose! Otherwise it doesn’t look good. And I love the E-type as well, the distinctive 12 cilinder engine and long frontal nose is beautiful!
@@ben-rebuildrescue8757 Np, I always liked seeing these videos and the cleanup process is gratifying on the 401.
The Grumman (Gulfstream) Cougar is a solid, great (and safe) light twin that is a bit of a well kept secret. Too bad it was discontinued before it achieved stardom... Will be watching for the resurrection of that one as well as the other airplanes!
I'm actually interested in how much knowledge you have on various projects. Is it life experience or research for the video's?
Hey Bob !
I’ve been working on things as long as I can remember. I grew up pretty poor and the only way we could have things was to fix them.
Same here Brother! We started with bicycles in 1974. We-all (new word) have multi projects going on at the same time. Never enough money or time. All my injuries are from Alpine Skiing.
@@rebuildrescue I still remember when my parents complained about me pulling a cycle bike that they bought me apart at the age of 5 because I was curious as to how it works. I didn't really understand their reactions at the time especially when they were poor during those years but I'll never forget the look of amazement on their faces when I put the bike back together.
That's why I like rescue videos like this one :)
Back when I was a kid (early 60’s) we had a neighbor who would bring me clocks that didn’t work. I would take them apart and do my best to fix them. And that started my life long interest into anything mechanical!!!
@@luminatrixfanfiction I had all my tools taken from me when I was 7 (I think.. 5-7). It's funny when you have a curious kid.. It stops being funny when this kid has a secret tool stash under his bed that includes a sharpened small knife.. I think this was the time my parents realized that having strict rules was important.. But I think the damage was already done. 😂
To this day.. I maintain that I had that knife because razors were too dangerous and I was afraid of box cutters and I needed to cut glue without breaking plastic housings.. Though I didn't articulate it that well back then.
For parents reading this. Here are some good tips to teach for if the kid decides he's too good to listen to you or just can't help himself.
1-threaten against double edged blades or lock them away.
2-sharp edge must always face away.
3-never cut towards you
4-never cut with two hands
5-never cut without hard barriers between body and knife. (like a standing cutting board)
6-never touch knife without an adult present or leave it on a table. Must always be in a box that cannot fall.
7-don't use knife points as small screwdrivers because that ruins the edge and mom will kill us both. (I ruined an expensive knife set.. My mom lost her mind when she saw it. Precision screwdrivers were speciality tools in the 90's and early 2000's
You and your team are truly inspirational. You have restored my faith in mankind.
I love the 401 project. It was the first project of yours I stumbled upon and have been watching since. My girlfriend and I are interested in aviation and are always excited for the Saturday 401 videos. Keep it up and stay safe!
Heck yeah your gonna go places and makes your goals a reality. I'm a proud subscriber 🤜🤛. Oh I want the Austin....if that's how to say it
Thank you for joining the Rescue Crew !
I completely agree
Stay conservative when restoring older machines. When I hear, "...make the world's fastest Piper Cherokee," it opens the door to a lot of very negative outcomes. Yes: Improve reliability & performance. However, avoid the record books...and, the Obituary column. Great YT channel! Can't wait to see you up & around again.
One question. Wouldn't the previous owner have the log books? Loving the content and I hope you have a speedy recovery bro!
the previous owner SHOULD have the logs (in fact they should have been transferred with the aircraft when it was handed over). But sometimes they get lost, for example in a fire.
It might be possible to recover some of the aircraft's history from FAA records or (if known) the financial records of mechanics who worked on the plane if that's the case, but it's a major hassle and an even larger puzzle with an unknown number of pieces of unknown shape and size.
I could be wrong but maybe the owner passed considering the plane sat for years and was never sold in its previous condition.
@@StealthGT40 the owner is still alive and has been in episodes. If you remember Sam, that’s the previous owner.
I Started Watching The Abandoned Plane Last night From Episode 1 To Episode 10 All In One Night Waiting On Episode 11 Keep Up The Good Work And Get Feeling Better
You helped me through my corona quarantine. Binge watched every single video and I just have to say GET WELL SOON! we can wait for all these projects to be continued just get well first and then the projects come :D
I would like to see a “to do list” created for the 401, then I’d like to see you start checking those items off by priority level. Making lists and checking them off has always been super satisfying for me and my numerous unfinished projects. Keep up the good work! Get well soon.
A “to do list” for an airplane is called the inspection guide. It tells you everything that must be inspected. By doing that you develop the discrepancy list which has every item which was found in need of repair during the inspection. He hasn’t even started on anything like that in 3 1/2 months. All that been done so far is superficial stuff that’s irrelevant to making the thing airworthy. Shiny paint and polished spinners do nothing for the airworthiness problems.
I second this! We want to know what the current status is.
@@HighFiveCreations The current status, from an airworthiness perspective, is identical to what it was at the beginning of the first video. There has been zero progress towards making the plane airworthy.
Charity usually means tax write ✍️ they getting smarter
So basically you have not finished anything? sounds like a big scam.
Yeah, but he owns more airplanes than most people I know, so obviously it a profitable one.
@@learmonkey3582 I started watching this guy to rebuild an air plane, not to watch a car a boat a jeep, and he does more talking than actual work.
@@kirkm63 First, all the talking is for the best, as he is in no way qualified to do any real work on an airplane. The 401 would be a months long project if it had 3 competent A&Ps, all with a lot of twin Cessna experience, working on it everyday, all day. At the current rate, it is a years long project. That’s if it actually gets started. Thus far he hasn’t even bothered to determine what airworthiness issues it has except for the engines. Solving the engine issues is the easiest thing about this project. Airframe issues have the very real possibility of making the plane unrepairable, and yet he’s wasting time polishing the paint and cleaning the interior. To be honest, most of what needs done will be dull as dishwater on video. There just no way to make drilling rivets, removing corrosion, replacing fuel bladders and replacing control cables look exciting. That’s why I would expect the 401 videos to become few and far between. And the whole “no logbooks” thing turns the whole idea of doing anything into an exercise in futility.
@@learmonkey3582 thats why I stopped watching, all the guy does is talk and advertise.
I’m loving all your projects, quite happy for you to hop around them (literally, at the moment!). Your enthusiasm and passion is inspiring and infectious - it always gives me a boost to watch you and your team. Keep at it, dude. Sending healing vibes to your poor leg from the UK.
You and your team are truly kind, generous and truly inspirational. You have restored my faith in mankind.💥
Hmmm... You are spreading yourself way to thinly amongst a WHOLE load of BIG projects which makes me question your integrity whether you're just in all of this simply for the views. Answer is? (Guessing - views) which kinda makes you a bit of a con. No?
🙄😳 I’m a bit confused by your thought process behind your comment but then realized you might not have watched many of the videos and understand who were are and what our goals in the community are. Right now Im laid up with a newly installed Titanium plate and 8 screws. It’ll be a while until I can safely wrench on anything no matter how hard I push.
We do absolutely love views and love the support from this community though ! Hoping that doesn’t make me/us cons 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for watching and please stick around so you’ll get to know us better and see the awesome things we’re doing !
I want the Austin! Keep up the good work! Glad to see you walking again Jason. It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since you got the 401!
Best of luck on those logbooks!
And congrats on a successful business. Wishing you and the team at Mr. Dent all the best going forward!
I love the fact you took a hippo and put a truck bed on it. My mom and step dad work for trugreen in Florida and I remember those trucks. Would have never pictured it setup like stubby. Cool build.
Thanks for all the work you guys are doing on that 401 and keeping it in the air!
Fun watching your show and sweet sports car! I want the Austin Healey Sprite!
Just amazed at the breadth of your interests- finishing projects once started is harder than it looks!
You guys do great work, both on your restorations and the organizations you support. Good to also see some of the people that are behind the scenes!
I'd love that Austin, my brother had one when I was around 12. He had a blast with it.
I did the majority of my flight training, way way way way way way, back in the day in piper 160 Warriors. Looking forward to seeing that done and flying. Great projects and ideas, particularly the flying club. Really glad to be on this journey (via youtube) with the rebuild rescue crew and supporters.
Love the fact you guys turn some wrenches on different things. I'm not much of an airplane guy but I really love you guys working on that Austin Healey
"Have a habit of starting new projects before finishing old ones". Just described my whole life in one sentence....
I’m nothing but impressed about all the things you do for your community guys. Great job!!! Oh, “I want the Austin!!!”
Awesome plan you have looking for it to move forward
I would LOVE to see the 401 in The Netherlands!!! I came here for the 401 as i am an avaiation fan, but i like most of your projects because they seem to come from the hart!! Get well soon and keep em coming!!!
Cass Choate does a phenomenal job, and is an AWESOME person. Glad you and him got hooked up and can't wait to see the finished product!!
As a guy who like to fix stuff more than buy new stuff, I really appreciate this channel. ✌
Love the 401 project and the transition into Aviation. That Austin is looking amazing.
Nice to see you moving around better. All of your projects are interesting and always look forward to any new videos that you make.....
Hi. What is the prize?
It's great to see a genuine enthusiast talk about their projects. You mention a lot about what the comments on videos think about your project load - my question what do YOU think your project load is like? Are you at your own evaluation of... 'saturation level' is the best phrase i can come up with at the moment... for projects? At some point, there has to be the measure of "I want to do X, but... I just wouldnt have the time with all the other things I'm doing"...
so much great content to follow. I just discovered your channel while watching the 401 project. Once I caught up I started looking for more.
I’m not gonna lie, the 401 seemed like an ambitious project to me at first. But when you started taking on more projects I was really impressed!! Keep going, guys!! Y’all do some awesome stuff!!
I want the all of the tiny little Austin!!! Liked, subscribed, and shared baby!
My wife says:
“Helicopter mechanic here! I don’t know if it’s the same with fixed wing aircraft, but our aircraft have serialized parts (think a VIN number on your car) that are a crucial part of our log books and records. If you could find some way to run the serial numbers through a database, it could tell you when those parts were last serviced & where- could lead you to the logbook itself. Also, aircraft undergo structural inspections every so often (i believe yearly, but for us, we have ACE inspections during every ‘phase’ at least). There may be a sticker somewhere on your bird that shows an inspector ID / insp. Date and location. Not sure how much this helps, but we’ve definitely tracked down some AWOL records with serial numbers and by getting ahold of prior inspectors! Happy hunting!”
Identification of aeronautical parts has come a long way since 1968. They didn't serialized individual parts back then. Most fixed wing aircraft are not loaded with life limited components like a rotor wing aircraft. Components are repaired/replaced on condition. Can certainly identify who did the last inspection and maintenance from the registered owner, see if they are still in business and if they have any records. But otherwise, recreating lost maintenance records for a plane like this is not a big deal, current owner has most of the keys to this process, maybe he will part with this info if properly motivated $$. There are no life limited components. AD compliance has to be verified anyway and could change depending on what maintenance is done in prepping the plane for inspection.
The fact that you can keep up with all of these projects is crazy
so glad I'm caught up on this project now and this isn't a project I'm finding after like 5 years with 100 videos. one of the coolest projects I've seen.
Thank you Michael !
Thanks for the tour. I had no idea what you are about. Wow, you are a true entrepreneur.
Keep on keeping on! It's genuinely awesome watching this channel grow.
I want the Austin!
Brother, THANK YOU for a fantastic channel! It's my new favourite! And to see all the good that you and your crew is doing makes me so happy. I am reaaaaallly looking forward to seeing that PA28 being "brushed up" as well as the 401.
I'm an Avgeek de lux and also work behind the controls, so it's so much fun to see someone who really knows mechanics explaining all the details. THANK YOU so much and keep up the great work!
I want the Austin. Jason, I’ve was drawn in by the 401 project and I haven’t stopped watching. I can’t wait to see the 401 fly again!!!!
Can't remember if I had commented before as I have commented in a lot of your videos, so I will do so again just to make sure. I enjoy all your videos on your various rescues over the past few years. I'm excited to see the 401 take to the air. Always entertaining. And of course, I want the Austin!
Interesting to know everything you are working on. Well beyond what I had expected.
Thank you!
Love my '69 Sprite. It's right-hand-drive. Goes great, and starts instantly. Best of luck!
Those Grummans are awesome!! Have a dream to move up to my own Grumman from my ‘46 Ercoupe eventually.
I knew something was familiar when I started watching these videos the other month. Met you once when I was driving cars part time for a recon shop at the auction. So cool that you are from the local area.
The Austin Healey is a sweet little ride! Glad to see it being saved. I want the Austin!
Glad to see how far you’ve come. I want the Austin!
A simplicidade,elegância, generosidade de como interagem conosco e entre si,fizeram comigo que.nao tenho nada haver com aviões,me transformasse em um fã, que não vê a hora de sair outro vídeo,aprendo com voces todos os dias,sobre aviões,sobre humildade,e também aproveito para aprender um pouco a cada dia inglês na prática,meu muito obrigado, que seu canal cresça cada dia mais,sem limites!
I subscribed, liked, shared and I want the Austin Healey. I like the way you fixed up the bird house 401 ✈️. Great job!
Hello Rebuild Rescue Team,
I am replying to the comment your team sent me about being on the list for April's winners! I'm very excited!

Good to see Jason up and aroud on his injured knee. Go team Austin!
Love the channel, the 401 is my favourite but at this point i would just like to see one finished from start to (key word here) finish, honestly I think you have bitten off way more than you can chew, you certainly don’t shy away from the tough jobs!!
I flown a few PA28's in what seems like a lifetime ago. When you see the cowling off it makes the motor look small.. They are nice to fly. The upgrades to the motor sounds awesome.
That Austin is the same color my '75 Spitfire came in.
Maybe one day it will be finished among all the projects we have.
Love the channel guys, I enjoy looking for the new updates on the weekends!
I am enjoying this entire series and realize how little I knew, and the mistakes I made when I purchased my Bellanca Tripple Tail in the mid 70's. I will not make that mistake again if I ever buy another airplane. Keep up the great work. I want the Austin Healy.
