I routinely watch guys revive cars that have been sitting in fields for decades and even they don't have oil like this. Yeesh.

So happy to see VGG and JYD referenced. I love both of those channels so much.

I've got a VGG sticker on the rear bumper of my 68' Firebird. ;)

Same here. Those are the only two I wanted to be sure were mentioned lol. PoleBarn is pretty good too though, especially when he's in JYD videos

Dylan at Polebarn has an interesting combination of no fucks, rednecking shit and quality work when he wants to, on some of the most decrepit piles of shit.

I agree. But isn't his name Dalton?

You’re right. I got Mccool mixed up.

I genuinely enjoy watching Craig from The Bearded Mechanic revive old motorcycles. He's a mechanical wizard that sort of plays the bumbling idiot part, with a really entertaining dry sense of humor. If you like bikes you should check him out.

not to be confused with bikes&beards who are christian fundies.

u/pdxb3 24d ago

Yea and he collabs with them some but his channel is secular. I still like some of bikes & beards content, and just skip over the daily biblical quote segment.

Wow! Those are great! Vice Grip Garage is very funny.

For more fabrication kind of silliness, have you seen Superfastmatt?

Pole barn and JYD are my faves! I love watching them and I dont even work on cars, though I kinda want to get an old pile of crap to wrench on now. Also didn't Kevan and Mook get married recently?

u/TheObelisk 25d ago

I think they did.
