    I saw posts for someone restoring a ‘94 Ranger and thought why? I finally checked it out and discovered this funny, smart and lovely young lady that obviously knows her way around a car ( or truck ) doing this in memory of someone that meant a lot to her. Really enjoy the channel!

    Following this build, from start to finish, its such a great feeling to see something you've spent so much time and care on finally come to life.
    This is one of my favorite car channels on youtube - anyone can show off an exotic, not everyone can rebuild a car from scratch in such a short time

    • @wild_lee_coyote
      @wild_lee_coyote 2 года назад +3

      Car channels that show exotic cars that most of us don’t even dream of getting a glimpse of are a dime a dozen. Why should I care about the latest Bugatti Hurrican Countash Evo that costs 7 figures and is hand built from unobtanuim fibers and boosts 5,000 Hords power. I would rather watch Sarah fuss over finding an OEM clipper doodle to get that hand cleaned wiring harness while talking in innuendos, because that’s what I would do. Ok there would be a lot more cussing and not nearly as clean, but we all can’t be perfect.

    @wild_lee_coyote 2 года назад +2

    Amazing job on the truck, sad about the bumper. My dad used to work for Denver Bumper and they are one of the premier bumper chrome shops in the country. The silvery mirror finish is actually nickel. Chrome is actually a very hard clear coat that keeps the nickel shine from tarnishing. It’s an electroplating process so you need to have a smooth surface, any imperfections will show up, like weld spots. If I was a shop owner I would have never have let that leave my shop. Especially if it is going to a RUclipsr who could help promote my business. It sucks because we all know your attention to detail, and that is just shoddy work.
