    The video was great. I wouldn’t change a thing. I personally liked the view over the motor. Being able to follow along with what you were doing without the camera being moved a million different times. I also liked seeing your daughters helping. Just shows how much you love your kids and how much they love you. Much respect to you.

    Another great one Garth! It's good to see you have supervisors present.. LOL I wasn't aware of your give away, but I'll tell you anyway. My first car? 1962 Chevy Biscayne. The old 6 banger was shot, so a buddy and I cobbled together a 327, tossed on an old Quadra Jet moved the shifter to the floor, added roughly 655 pounds of bondo and several rattle cans of black paint. I was MOBILE !! LOL

    I say definitely do a part two of the chevy Luv. As an avid youtube consumer, i feel like it keeps the attention of the viewer more when u jump back and forth through different projects. You might lose views if u stick to one project week after week. If someone doesnt like chevy luvs they might stop watching till u move on. In my case its suspenseful to see what happens next. Just a bit of advice. GL
