YouTube Recommendations??

 I enjoy watching project car video.  People fixing stuff up and putting it back on the road is something I watch almost daily while munching on my dinner or drinking my coffee in the morning.  

I'm currently subscribed to Vice Grip Garage, Stay Tuned, 4xFred, Steve Dulcich, The Dirthead Shed, Finnegan's Garage, The David Freiburger channel, all the old Motor Trend guys.  But all these guys do something I can't stand and that is calling the car done when it's still covered in what they call patina. To me patina is not a finish, it's just rust and primer.  Derek of Vice Grip is of course the worst of all these guys and even rubs on clear coat over the rust.  Drives me nuts!

So I'd be very interested in a channel that brings projects back from the dead, but doesn't stop when it's running.  A channel that makes cars that can sit in your driveway without the neighbors calling the city to complain.  Any suggestions?

I Got Banned??

 I was banned today from the r/mopar subreddit today for saying that the Plymouth Duster Twister was a lower horsepower variant of the Duster.  The moderator asked why I made that comment and I said, "Just talking about vintage Mopar."  He sais it sounded like I was being an asshole.  I said, "I'm just talking Mopar, you're the one being an asshole."  But don't take my word for it.  here's the post below.




Apparently some power tripping mods get butt hurt pretty easily.  My first car was a 1970 Duster 340 so I know a thing or two about Dusters.  Uncle Tony's Garage knows a things or two about them as well and he made a great video about the Duster Twisters.  Check it out!
