      @@frenchiestfry8116 I like angus but I don’t really see Luke and angus being comparable, they are nothing alike. Angus is help because Kevin has enough content to make now he needed more hands, and he finally convinced angus to work with him, Luke left once Kevin started moving away from doing revivals for fun and looking at it more as a job. (Kevin himself has changed from the early days to once it became a job)
      I still like it and watch him and am subscribed but it did use to be better in the early days.

I mean theres a reason why jyd channel blew up compared to Luke's. Plus, on a completely different note, i like to think junk yard digs is a "professional"ish version of pole barn garage, or at least less sketch lmao i love both channels and am excited to see new videos, especially when they colaborate

    Keep up the good work guys. It makes me happy to see you guys and takes some of the pain and suffering I am going through right now. My beautiful son Nathan died at Christmas he was only 28 and he suffered a massive heart attack I am feeling so lonely and very lost but we donated his organs to two people who I hope will have the chance of a better future.

    I did a fake vinyl top on my first car in around 1968. The kit had adhesive vinyl strips to apply first for two fake seams. I sprayed the texture "paint" with my dad's gun. My dad made some very realistic looking trim pieces for the quarter panel edge. Unless you were a foot or two away you couldn't tell it was painted on.

    Fun fact, bugs are attracted to the paint smell. I’m a professional painter and one time had to paint a sign with two part epoxy outside of a business during love bug season. So many of them landed on the sign we had to stop and wait until they were gone to repaint it.
