    I'm one of the 5% that more often than not watch til the end and have been watching your channel off and on for a number of years. And rarely respond to anyone's videos unless I'm buying something. Happy I've made this far after my stroke and will be contacting you via email. I'm always late to the CZcams parties but still wanted to give you 👍 on the new shop and I would really enjoy watching you get after the interior. Kind regards, Randy

    YES!! Please share content as you build out the shop

  • @jeffmacke4762
    @jeffmacke4762 Před 2 lety

    100% show the shop build, look forward to it. The best advice I got when building mine was to put everything you can on wheels. It makes it so much easier to keep clean and organized as things change and evolve.

    Ben...I have been watching "that far" for several years, I remember you working in your parents garage. You give me hope that the cars of my youth won't just fade away. Thanks for saving that Corvette, and congrats on the big steps in your life. I am old, and want a C3, but at almost 6-4 I am afraid I am too tall.
    Yes, want to see the shop stuff. I built my dream shop 15 years ago and now we are moving, between the cars, tools, and parts this isn't going to be a fun summer, LOL. all the Best to you. As I said, you give me hope.

  • @99goat99
    @99goat99 Před 2 lety +12

    I for one want to applaud you for essentially saving a classic Vette. Some would have looked at that car as it sat in the field and thought "parts car" at best. You make a 3 into a 6 or 7. Now it's a car again, and someone could either make a real decent summer cruiser out of it. Nicely done, sir.

  • @TheToolmanTim
    @TheToolmanTim Před 2 lety +1

    YES on the shop build. I never could afford a Corvette, married had three kids and that's were all my money went. But don't regret the way my life has gone so far. But, I did get to drive my Air Force buddies 1972 Corvette once back in !973. It was gold and 4 speed. Had a lot of fun. So watching your video's helps me remember those days. Keep up the great content maybe one day you tube will really pay off.

  • @tomhetrick1078

  • @beatglauser9444
    @beatglauser9444 Před 2 lety

    Congratulation! You got a dream shop I have been dreaming about for 30 years. And you really deserve it.
    In Switzerland you could not buy a lot and build a storage place this size for less than 300 000$.
    This Corvette is exactly the type of car for a man who can mainly do body work (like me) The grat fact is that most of the mechanical problems or the car are sorted out. If I were not drowned in projects and I could afford it, I would love to own it.

  • @born_again_torinos
    @born_again_torinos Před 2 lety +6

    Yes, I'd love to see the shop build. I didn't think I'd be interested in "watch J.R. Go" build his shop. But I really enjoyed it.

  • @barfass
    @barfass Před 2 lety +11

    The shop is the bomb man! Wow! I have been watching you forever and this is just the icing on the cake. Wish that CZcams would have paid for it, but I respect your savings skills. Bring on the projects, this might be the catalyst to something bigger!

    @rubyred93chev Před 2 lety +1

    _Thank you Ben for saving this 1972 Corvette t-top (as we called them back in the day). The bottom line: your asking price is reasonable for a driver quality C3 that has so much potential. Now about your recent acquisition and the new shop, congratulations. (I think a lift or two will be a nice addition to make wrenching on customers' cars, and your own a dream come true). Best of luck on the property purchase. You and your wife, and your beautiful family deserve it! Looking forward to the buildout of the four-stall garage/mechanic shop, and subsequent videos._
