I got one in my email the other day. I was highly suspicious and deleted it. Thanks for confirming it.
But the Indian guy on the phone told me if I sent him $500 in Walmart gift cards I could receive an old creeper caster with some of your hair stuck in it.
@@justinwatch You’re too good 😜
I'm glad Aaron is back in the shop he is smart I wish I was that smary
Thank y’all so much for trusting your core group enough to share your private medical issues. So very sorry to hear that happened Aaron. From one Texan to two others, here’s to you both. We’ve really missed your content but certainly understand why y’all were absent. Love that you’re back. Get healthy brother!
Love and appreciation abounds!!! ❤
Aaron prayers and more prayers It’s ruff not being Able to do stuff I’m a burn Survivor it takes time and Patience
What an absolutely wonderfully refreshing and honest appealing attractive couple. I've only just joined your subscription base and I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏
Take it easy Aaron, give your body time to repair. That Corvette is so lucky to have found you guys.
Glad to hear Arron is on the mend and back in the shop with you, finley and the kid ! She sure is growing up fast! 🙏👍
So glad to see Aaron back in action. I'm sure it must be weird to know that random people are honestly worried about your well-being but here we are.
Hahaha, it is kind of a wild feeling! We are truly grateful for all the love and support from this community!
I can totally understand Aaron’s frustration during his time off and it’s good to see him back on his wheels. I am in similar situation with a failed back surgery where I find it difficult to bend over to pick up the simple objects off of the floor. Fortunately he’s married to a amazing young lady who is not afraid to work on anything!
So good to see Aaron again and that he is making progress on his recovery. Sure did miss him not being there in the shop.
I have five cars and thought that was a lot. But like yours they all run, even my antiques. But now my wife and I are having the house remodeled. Again! It's always something.
Everyone asks what her first project car will be, and many have ideas of what it should be. I suggested a Saab 900 or 9-3 as she could survive being hit by a couple hundred tons of locomotives (look up saab train crash, the video's on youtube) or a roll-over (Topgear dropped one from a crane on its roof) and there's lots of interior space and the engine bay of the 900 is huge for her to crawl around in.
Emily is a trooper and has done a great job Aaron, just take care of yourself Aaron and it will all work out. Good to see you back on the videos bud!
So glad Aaron wasn't hurt bad AND to see Aaron back in action, too! Quick temporary hack for the old Roxy engine powered Chevette (To slow down the Rear seal or rear pan leak) is; negative crankcase pressure. Maybe, get rid of the PCV valve and just go with straight vacuum (is an idea). Also, slight possiblity of sucking the rear seal or seals back in to place, keep an eye on it and once the leak stops or slows down, might be able to put the pvc valve back in and all will be fine.
IF it works, is it really a dumb idea?!!
I'm a Ford guy , having said that though , those LS engines are basically bullet proof . The Vette is looking better and sounding mean . I know y'all are going to enjoy it immensely . Keep making videos with whatever camera as long as y'all are enjoying doing it . Cause when y'all enjoy what you're doing we will love watching .
Good to see Aaron back doing what he loves I'll pray for full and speedy recovery and great to see Finley you guys take care.
Thank you for sharing Aaron's medical issue. We will continue to pray for both of you and I am so glad to hear he's on the mend
I bought a crashed C6 a few months ago and it's already on the road. I've been fixing the little things as I go. You're gonna love your car!
I'm glad to see Aaron is back and getting better . He'll be back to 100% before you know it . The Kid is growing like a weed too . I haven't finished watching the video yet but I had to stop and let y'all know how happy I was to see Aaron and y'all back in the shop .
Sure do thank you for your support and encouragement 😊
Great to see Aaron on the mend, look after yourself buddy and don't rush the recovery, we'll always be here to support you both , Alan UK
Awesome to see Aaron back in the shop!! Good to see he also kept his sense of humor through it all. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to do what you love but I know with the support he has from Emily and everyone else he will be back to full force in no time.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you so much!
Must have been the right amount of silicone on the bolt. However it's still leaking. Wonder if it could be the back of the intake manifold, valve cover, or oil pressure sensor. Glad to see ya healing Aaron.
The band is back together 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳, continue your healing Aaron so happy to see your face. XOXO To you all.
Glad to see Aaron again. The guy who you sold you all the corvette should have included the headers for it, least he could do. Your videos have saved me in the last 5 yrs since my moms passing thank you so much
Aw, Bruce! ❤ thank you for that heartfelt message, we sure are grateful our videos have brought you joy in such a hard time!
Hey Aaron, great that you're back! Even greater that You're noticeably healing! Must have been a huge fright for both of you!
The support came because you're good people and we all love you for it. It also hasn't gone unnoticed how Emily stepped up and kept the channel going with her usual joy at what must be a super-tough time!
Sure do appreciate these observations and the kindness and love!! We’re so grateful for y’all!❤
@text8394 STOP TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE
Aaron, so happy to hear you're getting better and keep up the hard work!!! Thank you for posting and reassuring all of us. This trial will help you two bond even closer, if that's possible, and enable to guys to tackle bigger challenges in the future as a couple!
That’s the goal!!! We’re learning LOTS and growing together ❤
I've got a 4 post at my house and love it!! Yeah, have more than enough projects too - two 59 Morris Minors, 63 Morris Mini, 68 MGB, 73 GMC motorhome. Plans are to restore the Mini this winter - we'll see!
Love y’all! Years ago I had chronic bilateral shoulder separations that never hindered my ambulance job or being a call firefighter EMT in two communities. Doctors told me eventually all the ligaments, tendons, and muscles would catch up and my shoulders wouldn’t slip. It almost kept me from a full time firefighter career, but here I am six years post 31 year career retirement. I know it’s not bone, but those joints would get sore from slipping in and out, especially the one time my dominant left arm wouldn’t pop back in. Having it set at the ER was insane, but it’s all past me now. Here’s to Aaron’s recovery! ✌🏼❤️🦞👑👑👑 Niece is a peach!
Great to see Aaron back in the videos and both of you in the garage. The more physical work you do will get you back to yourself in no time. Aaron your looking good, of course Emily always looks good.
I really appreciate the update on Aaron. Sorry to hear of that CA episode, but happy to hear that there are better days ahead in the near term future. I hope all heals well and you find a great PT/OT person to help you get motion restored in your shoulders. That won't be fun at first, but will be invaluable for the years ahead.
Glad you’re back and healing. In 2018, at age 62, I was living in China and feeling fine. It’s been a downhill stroke since then…bad knees, crumbling discs in the lower back and AFIB on top of it all. We’re back on our homestead in northeast Tennessee, and at age 67, I’m shot. It can happen in a heartbeat…even a skipping heartbeat. Enjoy each and every day, for the Blessing that it truly is. Great content.
I am 61 years old and was what I thought was in good health, I ended up having a stroke due to blood clots in my neck on both sides, right now I am in the same stages of recovery. My left arm and hand is not usable, and I am having a difficult time walking. I wish you the best and fully understand your frustration right now. Thank god every day you have Emily by your side, that alone is worth a million hugs.
What a great day seeing you two back working in the garage and Aaron driving the C6.
Back together in the garage again! Don’t think I’ve smiled this much in awhile. ☺️ Being vulnerable in front of a large audience is not easy, so hats off to you both for your courage. We love ya and pray that you ‘both’ heal from this season of your lives soon. 🙏🏻
Glad Aaron is feeling better! Niece is still cute, liking the Vette!
I have 57 Chevy project, 46 Ford Truck, Grumman bread van, Caprice Cop Car, 1951 Mercury that I haven’t told anyone about and a squarebody 4 by 4. All the other ones run and drive. But so do two of those listed. Oh, and a 36 Ford. Glad everyone is healing up.
Awesome to see Aaron getting back into the grove again. Praying for continued healing and may the future be bright. I was bummed when he wasn't able to make IOLA earlier this year. However was happy to have had the opportunity to meet him in 2021. I'm still smiling after being able to catch up with Emily both times in 2021 and again in 2022 at the IOLA show. I am forever grateful for Emily taking time to talk and take the selfies of us together. Wishing Emily and Aaron the best for 2023. Also good to see "the kid" helping out from time to time as well. :)
Sure appreciate your continued support! See ya in Iola!! ❤
@@flyingsparksgarage I will make the trek if it means getting another selfie and to say hello~!
Aaron! So glad to see you!! It's nice to see you back doing what you love. Just take it slow I know it's hard. I couldn't turn a wrench for 6 months after I wrecked my bike and it sucked! Speedy recovery buddy!!
Reunited and it feels so good! Emily no doubt in my mind you can do anything! The trick is you don't have to. Pick and choose. Life is short as you well know now!
Glad to see Aaron back in a video! Glad he is getting better
OMG, that is way worse than what I had imagined. It is a relief to hear though that Aaron is okay and that it should not happen again. Take it easy though. Thanks for the update. The car does seem a little ... too hacky but I know you two will get it into tip-top shape in no time. It's gonna be great.
As a local lake resident, I’m glad to see y’all getting some normalcy back in your lives. I have to say I’ve missed the regular uploads but family comes first, and we need Aaron back to good health. I’ll be sure to honk the next time I see y’all cruising down the road 🤘🏼.
Awww, hi!! Please do! Don’t hesitate to say hi! Sure do appreciate you being here 🥰
Any 'Vette purchase is a calculated risk no matter what model and what year... Anyway, it's good to see Aaron again and back in the pink... From the home of PB Blaster Silicone spray.... Cleveland, Ohio... (Also, the home of Permatex brands...)
C6s with silver paint show off their curves so well in sunlight! Such a beautiful car! I can't wait to see what y'all do with her!
Happy to hear you're doing better Aaron! Was wondering what happened and actually expected something like it, but didn't want to ask, because all in due time... Again good that you're getting back in there and hope to see you more often again... And we understand that you'd feel grumpy when you want to do stuff, but can't... who doesn't? Take you're time, healing takes time and try not to over do it ;).
So GR8 to hear you're on the mend Aaron!!! I truly hope it won't end your flying tho!!! Medical took me out of my wings and oh how I miss it!! So glad you're doing better! God speed to a total mend! GR8 to see you, and Em of course too!!! My fave all time car is a '65 vette soft top but no way I could ever fit in one being 6'5" nor could I even afford one these days! You've got the perfect car there, a gr8 "driver"! No need for a show car you can't use without worrying you might scratch it. The guy that sold it to you should be ashamed of himself being a total hack tho!!! 😉🥰
I am the king of multiple projects that never seem to complete. I started an outdoor kitchen remodel 13 months ago, then got sidetracked by a rental house that caught on fire, then got sidetracked by a rental house that was ruined by dogs, then started to repaint the inside of my home, then we didn’t like the shade of white, so we started over again, then work got in the way, then we had a freeze and killed all of our landscaping, then I decided to build my five year old a loft, now my nine year old wants one as well, painted her room multiple colors, now I’m back to the main part of the house working on the white paint everywhere. Also oh swapping out all Canlite‘s for LEDs fixtures. Oh and I’m trying to redo part of the backyard as a soccer field for my son. I love all the projects. Some say it may be ADD. But here’s the thing when you’re doing a project. It’s fun to bounce around. It would be similar to eating the same dish at every meal for a month straight. Sometimes it’s fun to bounce around and have a chimichanga from time to time!
I really hope you do an un edited cold start challenge on your entire fleet. Including your boat, riding mowers, etc!
That would be fun 😌
So glad that Aaron is getting better! I missed you guys posting on a regular basis. Was great to see your helper again and would love to see her build her own project it looks like she is interested , anyway I hope you have a great day and. I will see you on the next one 😊😊
Wow! Really sorry that happened to you Aaron!😮 We're glad you are healing well and wish you a speedy full recovery! You guys are awesome and we really enjoy your channel. 😎👍
I am a chick who had a lot of fun fixing up a car or two, and I love that you guys have been finding some great restoration projects. I maxed at 5 projects at once, but only I think because I only had a shade tree shop to work with. Lol. Glad to hear that your shoulders are mending dude. Seizures are no joke. They can really tear you up! Take care ya'll!
Thanks for having the courage to ask us to wait until you were ready to share. Glad you are recovering well. Prayers.
So glad to hear your on the mend Aaron . Stay well and know we are all thinking of you
Super glad to see you again Aaron. Glad you got things handled and the path forward looks hopeful. And you've got an amazing partner there, try not to be TOO grumpy! 😀
Aaron, so happy to hear you are doing better. Emily, you must be the MOST positive person on TH-cam! I'm hoping to be an ex Corvette owner soon. Off to new projects for me!
We are so glad that Aaron is back in action!!!! You both have been in our thoughts and prayers, Love the new vet!!!! I had a friend who bought a brand new 1965 Stingray, drove it for a few yrs, then put it up for 15 yrs, he died and his widow sold it for a very large price. We are glad you both are doing well and we love the blog!! Thank you so much Merry Christmas and happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you’re doing better Arron! Nice to see you back in the videos. You guy’s have a great channel and make a great team!! 💯👌🏻🎉🎉
So glad Aaron is doing better and they know what caused it. As far as the vettte goes, If you are going to have to pull the engine, might as well do some upgrades while you are at it.
Welcome back Aaron, glad to see getting healthier. Don't push it. Really like the Corvette puzzle car. All the pieces will fit soon.👍👍👍👍
This is family coming together for a common interest. Love this !
Glad to see your doing well Aaron 👍Take your time on your recovery 🙏you and Emily are amazing people ❤Have a wonderful holidays everyone.
As someone with bad shoulders and multiple surgeries on them I can absolutely empathize with the frustration of loss of range of motion, strength, mobility, and self-sufficiency. I’m glad you’re progressing well, Aaron. Some days will be better than others and some days you’ll wonder why you seem to regress but you’ll power through with Emily’s love and support and your determination and be back at 100% before you know it. 🫶❤
So happy to see Arron doing well and getting back to it. Wish you guys all the best , keep up the great content . Can't wait to see what you do with the Vette. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you guys too! Thank you so much ❤
Self proclaimed King of unfinished projects here. They get to a usable, functional point and I go off to another one. Every once and awhile one actually gets finished. Glad to see Aaron back and on the mend!
When I take my cancer med and my other medications in the morning I tell God thank you for another day,I'm so happy that Aaron and your family are doing great, I love you guys and I have been thinking about all of you
Good to see Arron up on his feet again.. Hope he continues to heal and get well soon. Great video.
So good to see Aaron back and on the mend. Cheers guys!
you should have over a million subscribers by now love you guys and all the family that help.
Sure do appreciate that!!
Having augered myself into the ground in a bike crash and dislocated a shoulder, bruised the collarbone and kept riding, and then not icing anything when I got home....waking up as a giant swollen mass the next morning with ZERO ability to lift my right arm...I know the pain of trying to work a stick shift with an arm that won't move. It was four days before I could drive without having to shift using my left arm and basically using 3rd - 4th a lot to eliminate needing to move the extra inch to reach for 5th. Reverse was a pain being below 5th on my manual, and requiring pulling up on the lever to get past the syncro lockout.
It’s awesome to see Aaron back and doing well! You definitely have a project there. Good luck and Happy Holidays to you guys. 🎁🎅🤶
Thanks for sharing about health. Good to see our man back and smiling 🙂. Dont worry Aaron. You will be back slinging wrenches and cussing fasteners in no time. Good you got an awesome team to work with. Love seeing you all work together.
I have a 92 Corvette. I am 78 years old. An old-time drag racer. I was starting on a Chevy 2 454 engine when I decided to get married in 1970.
Damn good to hear you're doing better. Also, 99% of people will think of one very yewtoob unfriendly cause when anyone says, We know what caused "afflicted with sudden unexpected thing" but wont mention it. Even if it's not "that thing". 😅Seriously tho, hope you have a full, fast recovery, and looking forward to your return. 👍
Warms my heart to see you and Aaron back in the shop again. Love you vuys, and following along with your projects.
We love and appreciate you too!!!
Aaron I'm glad to see you up and around I was wondering what happened to you take it easy man don't overdo it heal get healed cuz if you don't you liable to make yourself worse in the long run I'm 63 years old and I'm wore out take your time son get healed and then go back but it's damn good to see you back in the building
The cool thing about the corvette is that its like a swiss army knife and there are endless possibilities when it comes to body panels, suspensions and enough of them have been used up so original parts in good shape can be had like the front coolant frame and all the associated hardware. It will be a cool build for sure. Glad to hear Aaron is on the mend.
With the amount of hackery on that car I wonder if it was in an accident and decided the best way to "fix" it was to put an aftermarket widebody kit on it. I feel like I've heard of that happening somewhere before to someone. Good to see Aaron walking around again.
Yesssss a corvette in the flying sparks garage
Aaron, just wait until you actually get old. Everyday tasks are frustrating and you get to figure out new ways of doing everything. In a way you're lucky, you get to practice. :) I feel your frustration but I also enjoy a challenge. If you do as well, you'll be just fine.
Sorry to hear about your injury I hope you get much better, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Appreciate you sharing personal info... I have had my experiences with seizures as my wife is epileptic. Love the corvette. There is no better project and it looks good going down the road. Also, love the shop dog, he can even keep an eye on you under the car... Blessings.
Thank You for sharing your story Aaron as we all care about you both . I know that being limited what you can do can be very frustrating when you are so active . You are looking great and what a pleasure seeing you back in the garage again . I am a Corvette Guy myself but never had a chance of owning one as I raised a family instead .
So glad to see you back in the shop. You can only get stronger from here on. Looking forward to the new year with you both. Have a great holiday season!
Awesome to see Aaron back. It is tough for guys when we get get banged up or have a medical issue to let anyone "in" and it makes it rough on those around us. Wowzer that sounds scary and no wonder your bride was a wreck. Don't push too hard and do your best to control the frustration of not being 100% (yet). All the best.
Glad to see all is well !! praying for ya all !!! I'm still working on my 72 javelin, hopefully with the Christmas break coming up I'll get some more wrenching done. Wish me luck 🤞
Great to see you up and around, we'll keep you in our prayers and keep fighting. 💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God Aaron I can so relate…
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at age 44 and my wife had to take over all the tinkering on the cars.. when you said “I’m not mad at you I’m mad at me for not being able to do it”
oh my God that hit home so hard,, love you guys, great channel, great content good energy fantastic cars, love what you do,
keep it up.
Get well quick my brother
I enjoy seeing your little shop grow as you guys grow. Your car collection grows. Tools grow. Even the kid is growing. I remember how little she was back when you were working on Roxy.
So glad you're on the mend. Always look forward to seeing you both and the process you go through to make it all come together. God Bless the whole family and Merry Christmas to y'all.
Projects? I'm retired and am so busy that I'm thinking about going back to work to get some rest!
I have my '67 Barracuda that is in dire need of lower ball joints and set the toe-in on it so it can be driven, we also have a '52 Jag XK120 2-seater coupe that is cherry/mint condition but has chronic oil leaks, a common British car trait. Stops leaking, check the oil! It is a show winner already.
Can't forget our '12 Challenger hemi 6-speed and our '14 Chrysler 300C luxury edition sleeper, and keeping our tow rig 1 ton big block Chevy Suburban K2500 patched up & running good, and then there is our 22' Dana Classic daycruiser boat.......
We won't get into the turbocharged '79 Honda CBX 6 cylinder bike or my '04 Gold Wing.......
Yep, got more than a few projects to tinker with!
Glad to hear that Aaron is on the mend and getting stronger every day, and for sharing with all of us what had happened. Get better quickly, Aaron! You got this, especially with Emily by your side!
So glad to hear you got things under control and are on the mend.
Aaron, I am so glad to see you back. I've not commented until now because I wanted to hear from you about how you are doing...and it is wonderful to see that you are on the mend.
Thank you so much, man 😊
I love C6's. I'd get one. My old neighbor had a z06 with the 427 for sale. Get you a sheet of blue board insulation and cut into 3 pieces. Use that instead of cardboard. You'll be glad you did. Trust me. And it washes off.
Oh man, your Sweetie is not well either. We’re connected in a way. Your babe hopefully will be 100% soon. My back is also 100% steel. I understand your pain. I’m with pain management for 5 years. I can’t go off on them, when I do go off I’m only able to use a Walker and lay down. Soooo Dr said take a coke a day and walk or don’t take them and be a couch potato. All my life I either worked 2 jobs or one job and built cars. I pray hubby gets to be 100%🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏My Sweetie is taking one day at a time😭. Aging is great when not sick or in pain! As a veteran, I didn’t give just 4 years, it’s a lifetime of pain. But it’s better than not being here. I love EVERY DAY I AM HERE! 💞
Sure sending y’all prayers!! Thanks for being here 💙
Awesome to hear a good prognosis, more awesome to have a great outlook and learn from it together as a team. You guys rock!!!
It's Good Too See All You Guy's Working Together ....Bless You All .......Peace
Great to hear you're on the mend somewhat. Love that you're back doing what we love to watch. Take care.
Glad to hear things are going better. You two are the best
A fractured humerus is very painful. Your seizure must have been quite violent to break both of them. Praying for a full recovery brother. You are fortunate to have a caring wife to take care of you.
So great to see you again Aaron, we all missed you. Happy to hear you’re doing well and on the mend. God bless and the way congratulations on the slightly sketchy corvette. Cool car.
Thank God Aaron is healing well! It’s great yo see you in the shop again! Please take it slow and don’t over do things and get set back any!
Merry Christmas to you and Emily and all your family! Stay safe and make that Corvette a sweet ride!!
Good to see you both in the shop. I wish you the best healing up, but glad you're back up and kicking around.
Sorry to hear about the seizure Aaron! Glad you're OK. I had epilepsy while I was going through puberty as a kid and it's an experience like none other. I'm glad they figured out it was a one and done situation so you hopefully never have to go through that again. Hope to continue seeing more content! Thanks to you both!
Glad to see you BOTH, slow and steady always wins the race. Enjoy and support each other with daily life adventures.
