This series of videos will take you through the systems of a 1969 Corvette that is brought back to life after sitting idle for 20 years. Wherever possible he will repair the existing part rather than replace. His work shop is out of his single car garage and off his living room coffee table. He just tears into things then figures it out. I think the guy deserves a lot of credit and worth subscribing to his channel.

I've learned a lot about C3 systems watching his videos.

Regards,
Tom

I will second this! There seems to be a YouTube magic formula that stipulates that you should keep your videos under 20 minutes. Maybe that works for some things...This guy takes as long as is necessary to show and explain what he is doing and why. If it is over an hour, so be it. I really appreciate that. His series on C3 wiring has been invaluable to me.

Actually youtube got some blow back last fall, for mocking creators cause they were making vids too long. Because longer vids = more ads and more money! Youtube encourages shorter vids or more consistent length vids. I just make my vids w/e they end up time wise but been trying to keep em shorter since the algorithm favors that. Plus with the recent popularity of TiTok n other short video media.

2.8k subs with 255k views, that's a pretty good view/sub ratio. I've looked at many other small channels and my sub ratio sucks! Also good results for only 55 videos and not been over 2yrs, he must of had a large social media presence to help at the start. Took me almost a year to get 100 subs. The algorithm gods smile upon him LOL

E.T. Garage is another vette small channel, C4 stuff tho and he's also a board member so check him out. https://www.youtube.com/user/MrETuorto/videos

Yes, I've been watching his vids all year as he works on this 69, quite interesting! He even shows how to fix some parts in an innovative way to save some $$$. My only problem is he doesn't always know the proper names for parts and tools.

Yes, the guy does good videos.

One video he did was on the C3 Heater Core. He shows the difficulty he had getting the correct heater core after buying one that didn't fit.
