    My dad worked in the paint shop at Chrysler, when I was a kid I would take my matchbox and hot wheels cars apart and my dad would take the bodies to work with him and paint them at the plant for me, such great memories

    This vid is the first one I've watched as it was released. I've been working through your back catalogue. I'd recommend it to anyone. My mistake was to work backwards in time. It gave the impression that your technique was getting poorer... So halfway through I stopped, went back to the first video, and moved forward in time... much more satisfying watching you improve. Thanks for all the pleasure your vids have given me.

    Beautiful restoration! Absolutely love the color! About 20 years ago (or so) my mom and I were at a yard sale. I think the reason why we went down to the homeowners basement was because there was a set of weights my mom wanted to buy. The lady didn’t want to haul all of the pieces up in case nobody was interested in them, naturally. So we’re down there and mom spots a vintage aqua Buddy L car carrier. Mom asked her what she wanted for it and she said 50 cents! The lady told her she didn’t think anybody would want it! It was in amazing condition! There was a little paint loss by where the cab and trailer meet. The white wheels are pure white. Both ramps are still there, but no cars. There were a few more things we bought from her basement that nobody else at the sale saw, but that car carrier was the best! Love all your videos! Glad the sheep are back (I got a little worried in the intro). ❤️

    At the start, when the rusty wrecker is towed away by your green wrecker, this thought popped into my head (and I'm not religious, so why I thought exactly that, I have no idea):
    "Physician, heal thyself."
    Your restoration is great, and the truck looks gorgeous. Nice one.

    Never seen this type of battery housing on a vehicle. It takes away from the vehicle appeal. I wish it was under the vehicle. Get another tire if you don't like the flat always on display. But I like the fact that it can be changed! Another suppurb job by you Chip!
