That’s a great show. Heartening to see young master craftsman, not just crypt keepers like me

Just figured it was worth coming back here again to mention Cold War Motors. I cannot fathom how this channel does not have a half million subs.

I look forward to this guy's weekly uploads.

I Do Cars - the guy runs a salvage yard. The content is a mix of engine teardowns and repair work.

Bobby fingers: Literally the best unknown channel on YouTube. The production quality is simply amazing.
Vintage overland adventures: It’s a relatively good VW themed channel. Pretty well produced. He’s stopped posting lately, but there’s a good back catalog
Mark Felton: engaging WWII trivia
Black Tail Studios: Pretty cool wood working/epoxy channel.
Steve 1989 MRE: You have to see it. He eats old MRE’s and gives a food network type review. He usually eats EVERYTHING no matter what the condition. Like 150 year old food. Words cannot describe.
The post apocalyptic inventor: Goes to junk yards and fixes his finds. It’s like Vice Grip garage but with old tools usually rained on for weeks.
And of course….. RAD TV! |

Not sure if Torque Test Channel has been mentioned yet, but it is deserved.

Yes a great channel. His 1962 VW Single Cab Ruthmann Cherry Picker looks like David May's bus.

Now that I have my empanada restaurant. I’m here all day by myself and get tired of just streaming music. So, really only recently I’ve been watching YouTube channels. 80% car stuff, then some interview stuff like Theo Von, but the guest has to be good. I have to expand my viewing. Because, for me short videos are a pain. I have to stop what I’m doing.
I watch every member of HotRod and Roadkills own channel’s. Always entertaining.

I've picked up a few tricks from Wes ( also Johnathan W , before he got into steam engines). He is a master mechanic ( a term a very rarely assign). Scotts splice-o-ramas inspired me to fix a 74 Satellite that had been hopelessly ass-ended.
This is a link ( might work)

Agreed. Cold War Motors is the one channel I look forward to each week for new content. The straight Eight showdown and the crazy roof clip swaps are definite highlights. Yesterday's Citroen DS collection was pretty bonkers. That cabriolet is unreal.
Also, Watch Wes Work has grown on me over the years. No BS, owns his mistakes, has the patience to explain things very clearly, and gets his family involved occasionally.
