I thought it might be fun to share what car related channels we watch on Youtube. There are some hidden gems and maybe you guys have one I may enjoy watching. Here's a short list of some of my favorites.
"Stay Tuned". Tony Angelo and his crew build some really cool rigs that are mostly low buck. I like the east coast vibe (read rust repair). I never miss an episode.
"Hagerty". I enjoy pretty much all of Hagerty's content with the "Redline Rebuilds" being my favorite. I enjoyed the Pantera revival which was kind of a Barn Finds/Redline Rebuild Mashup
"Hoovies Garage". This guy's channel is a great reminder to never buy a high end import thats over 10 years old! Tyler is a likeable guy who always seems to be getting screwed over on cars he buys. Luckily he usually gets over a million views of his videos which keeps him above water. He does have some nice domestic cars including a Grand National.
"Vice Grip Garage". Who doesn't like watching Derek try to get the "sparkilators" firing on a car that sat for 20 years? His videos are a bit longish so I usually watch one in two or three sittings.
"Soup Classic Motoring". This fellow hails from Ireland and isn't afraid to tackle any project from a Sprinter Van to a Lotus Esprit. What makes his channel different is he uses stop motion photography to give the illussion the car is restoring itself. Like "Stay Tuned" I never miss an episode. I can also appreciate he deals with the same rust issues we do on the east coast.
"Rare Classic Cars" The fellow who runs this channel works for GM (I think he's a bean counter) and lives in Michigan. He has an eclectic collection of domestic cars, many of which most would never consider owning. Most of his cars are low mileage originals.
"Paint Society". This guy creates great content for blokes like me who really want to do better body and paint work
"Nicole Johnson's Detour". Nicole Johnson is a pro driver who visits owners of some very interesting vehicles. It's funny how these owners who never let anyone else drive their cars don't seem to mind if Nicole takes the wheel.
"Jerry Heasley" I remember reading Jerry's articles in the musclecar magazines back in the day. His Youtube channel profiles some really interesting finds.
"Make it Kustom" This guy makes fabrication look easy. Lots of great tips in every episode
"Bus Grease Monkey" Watching this guy repair and restore old busses makes me feel like repairing my vehicles isn't so bad after all
"3D Botmaker" Who would have thought watching diecast cars zooming down a track could be so much fun? These guys do a top notch job with filming, graphics, sound effects and banter. Read the comments. Most of the viewers are our age!
That's just a few of the dozens I subscribe to. What's your favorite YT Automotive related channel?
Not YouTube, but if you have a Roku TV or stick for your TV, they have all kinds of automotive channels and videos. The Plex app is really good. Also, Roku has the Junkyard Gold 4 seasons with Steve Magnante
