About

I upload DIY & How-to videos covering everything from paint & body work to engines to interior and electrical - I do it all, right here in my residential garage. Some of the vehicles regularly featured on the channel include: 1994 Land Cruiser, 1985 4x4 Pickup, 1980 Long Bed, 1985 4Runner (and many more 80's Toyota trucks) 1988 Acura Legend, 2006 Acura TSX, 2007 Honda Fit Sport and a 1998 Honda Accord converted into an El Camino for the Gambler 500, and many more! In between projects, I'm slowly building my dream garage. I also film off roading, racing, cars, trucks or whatever else I'm building/destroying in my garage.

Video Description

The Clear coat was faded and flaking on my $350 Acura Legend, to the point that the paint would have to be sanded and re-painted in some areas.
