    These "no commentary" car repair videos are fantastic; this is a niche that is not currently available (at this quality) on YT.
    Looking forward to more!

      Your vids do, indeed, tell the story with panache (at the expense of the occasional filter lol). Thinking outside the box is a gift with photography and vid work. Loved the napping junkyard pickup, for example. If ever I get my old Cabby out of its barn home back in Tennessee and drag it up here to North Dakota so I can drive it on our one day of summer, I'll be giving serious thought to documenting it all in similar fashion. Enjoyed this one from your archives!

    I'm 65 now, but I remember going to the same boneyards to keep all my rigs in good working order way back when I was 16. It makes me feel good to know 49 years later that a young guy can still do that. All the old boneyards I went to are all gone now. Your Vlog brought back good memories. Thanks

    I am really digging your style and the work you put into these old rigs.
    I own an older Mercedes diesel wagon, and the dash lights are notoriously dim, and the rheostat spring fails like yours did. I just jumped a wire on the rheostat for full brightness. I have also used Deoxit to revive electronics, especially volume knobs on older radios. Great stuff to have on the shelf.

    I didn't think junkyards like that still existed. The one I used to go to sold out over 20 years ago. It's an apartment complex now. I used to spend the whole day just wandering around having a blast. I wonder what happened to all the cars. All you see now are corporate yards that won't let you out back... not that you'd care to go anyway, it's all full of new cars lol. But then again, I still consider that truck you're driving to be a late model so I guess I'm out of touch.
