      don't sponsor this anymore, this company gives 0 craps about their "patients" (more like customers) and since they dont need to abide by HIPAA laws in typical Facebook owned companies fashion your information is now on the internet for sale, its better to look for therapy wherever you are, if you dont believe me just look it up

      @@StevenHawkingsSpitrag I agree, this was not a $30k restoration. However, I bet it was the most amount of effort put into any of the vehicles in the class. You can trip and fall over a 944 in great condition for under $30k, but people like a story, even if the numbers are fudged. The sad part is that some viewers might think they can tackle a rust bucket project like this on a budget while most of us know it's always better to just buy the best example you can afford and start there.

The 944 was amazing but the effort that went into this as Jay said truly captures the spirit of the event and for him to pull the strings needed to make sure Henry got the respect he deserves is just such a cool thing to do.

    I mean it's kind of hard to say you spent less than 30k when you get thousands of dollars of work done and they say "on the house". if I was competing at a car show and a car that obviously has more than 30k worth of work done enters, Id be pretty pissed. Kind of kills the spirit of the competition.

Everyone would get stuck and i would just be on my merry way. This was in the earl 2000 and me and her were big on rave parties. We had black lights and neons inside, and they would flash following the bass. Installed a super big sound system in that small thing. It was our party machine. Such good memories. It will for ever be one of my most favorite car. Right next to my s12 200sx.

    Dude, MASSIVE props to the Robby Layton crew for the free paint job. Anyone who's ever attempted restoring even a relatively rust free body knows how many hours of sanding alone it takes to get things paint ready. That amount of work in such a short time frame....man, I don't have a clue how much that would actually cost. Maybe $10K+ or so? I'm currently watching the video right on his channel, so I guess I might find out soon!

    • @IndieBuildie
      @IndieBuildie 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      You're putting it a lot better than I could have. I was done with this video after I heard the words, "it's free." One of the hands down most labor intensive parts of this project with ZERO inclination as to what it would cost, even to a fellow TH-camr kinda makes the whole "budget" a wash and a cheat. And I'm reading through the comments that he won?? That's like cheating the numbers and winning a Lemons Race. NOT IMPRESSED.

      ​@@IndieBuildie At the same time though, almost everyone who restores their car tends use the avenues they have available to them to make things cheaper. At some point we've all accepted free help and been the beneficiary of someone's generosity. When it comes to Lemons racing, anyone who competes in them would have to use a ton of freebies in order to stay "within the rules," and I'm sure half of the other people in that competition had well over $30k worth of parts and labor into their cars. That being said, getting a paint job as nice as the one he got for free is a level of generosity that most people will never experience, so I do see where you're coming from with your disdain. However, just like the Lemons cars, I think that the majority of people feel that the importance lies more in the "spirit of the competition" than it does in saving every receipt so that you can prove you've spent exactly $29,998.67 on your build. A lot of people probably feel the same way you do about this kind of thing too though so who knows which way is the right way to look at it.

I think it goes without saying, that your car couldn't be called "better" than any of the cars in the show. However, no matter how cool they were, not one of them could touch this thing for it's uniqueness and the unbelievable transformation within the time and the money parameters. My opinion is you definitely deserved a win. And it was fun watching you "drive" this car through it's changes. 😍
