I'm in awe of the level of detail and the casual ability to just fabricate anything. And the large capacity for work.

He is very skilled and a pleasure to watch. His restorations make the items better than the original. The Datsun project is a bit boring as I'm not a car guy, but I'm impressed that he manages to keep the level of craftsmanship high.

Bad Obsession Motorsport's Project Binky is also highly recommended to anyone who wants to watch a couple guys basically build a car from scratch. Lotta fabrication in that one.

M539 Restorations as well if you like that kind of vibe!

Love this channel so much.

Was about to post this, thoroughly enjoyed the 3 videos last night. The attention to detail is wild, the time investment to build + edit the videos is also commendable... I think he said he spent about 4+ months now on the bodywork.

Mymechanics videos are amazing. The level of detail and skill is just astounding. You should watch a random restoration video. He can make restoring a wooden spoon interesting

That car was in excellent condition. Not much of a restoration.

Start around 38 seconds and watch to 2m13s. Your definition of "in excellent condition" and mine seem to differ greatly.

IMO, that car was between "driver" and "restorable" condition and I tend to think it was much closer to the latter.

Perhaps I'm use to people taking parts cars and bringing them back to life....

I’ve driven my share of “push to start” cars in the past, and I’m not talking about the little silver button on the dash of newer cars.
