When I watched my first video from ThunderHead289 on Youtube, it appeared to be your typical amateur video uploaded by a car enthusiast. Big deal right? After a few minutes, I began to get sucked in.
ThunderHead289 knows what he’s doing… way more than I do anyway! Watching his videos is like spending an afternoon working on a car with a more knowledgeable friend. A friend who’s not afraid to tackle that next automotive challenge. And yet, because it’s Youtube and not some reality automotive TV show where things always work out, there is some suspense involved. Additionally, he covers these projects in multiple uploads so sometimes you have to wait and see how it turns out (because he is waiting to see how it turns out). With ThunderHead289, I find myself wondering, Will he get it running after all? What problems will he encounter next? Will we get to go play with it soon?
Notice, I say “we” because that’s what you do if you’ve been hanging around with your friend all afternoon working on his car. You go play with it when it’s running… together. After all, I feel like I was on the adventure with him and I’m entitled to play too. Lucky for us he shares some of the play time on Youtube as well.
Most importantly, I’ve learned a few things watching his videos. Additionally, I can return to those videos when I’m ready to tackle a similar project on my own car.
Here is the first of several uploads on one his many car projects. This one he calls the Rustang.
