    I have enjoyed this series very much. I found a high desert 1984 ZX 2+2 it excellent condition mechanically. Had to replace window glass and repair as sand storms had severely pitted both paint and the glass. It only had 74k miles and the owner was disabled vet who didn’t trace much. What a fun project - I did refresh the engine and exterior which was a naturals tan leather and painted it for engine red. Drove on the LA freeways for 4-5 years

    As a reasonably new subscriber I was initially interested in what they did with their boat, but it’s obvious they have very gifted hands and very hard working. Really enjoyed this episode which featured lots of interesting clips of their hard work, but what a lucky man he is, stunning beauty, great figure, modest and hard working everything a man could want in a woman and what man wouldn’t want her on their road trip, even if it was only around the block lol

    I'm a new follower I started following on the wagon build and was hooked immediately. The Datzen is a beautiful car I dated a girl back in highschool who owned one and I loved the car more than her unfortunately. Your channel is one of my favorites I'm disabled now but I used to love working on cars and all of my friends and family used to take advantage of that but little did they know I loved it. Now I watch shows like yours to get my fix so thank you and your husband for making these videos. I would like to say that I love that you and your husband wrench together that is the coolest thing once again thank you and I am looking forward to seeing what you get into next. Lots of love see yaaaa...

    I'm hooked on your channel. In 1978 (a long time ago) I worked with a guy in Las Vegas who put a small block Chevy motor in his wife's 280z. It was actually in Hot Rod Magazine. The license plate was SUGARZ. At the time it was unique and way cool.

      @donaldjohnson257 Před 3 lety

      ........@Craig Campbell......Aaron must be the most self confident and self assured man on the planet......to hear and or read comments from thousands of people talking about how beautiful, sexy, charming, talented ,funny. and basically the most wonderful woman on the planet Emily is!....Most men couldn't handle that shit....Of course 99.9% of the commenters are men....Were it the other way around, women might be saying the same thing about him.....But I suppose his most telling response would be; Yup you're right and she loves ME!!.....mic drop!

    Car looks great. I know one of the draws of your channel is you being hands-on Emily and that's great. If you hope to have a long life in the hobby, you may want to start wearing latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves. Your work-capable hands look great on you, but our skin is absorbent. And over time, those chemicals have an effect. I used to do it too. Now it's just a foregone conclusion -- glove -up and get to work.

    Flying Sparks Garage ​Why not wrap the flairs? A friend of mine had the same fish-eye issue painting plastic, so he had them wrapped in high gloss black. It wasn't that expensive and I thought is was a great idea!​ Also: I'd use the Opti Seal on the velocity stacks interior/exterior. Love the show!
