If they don't do it (or pretend to be doing it) viewers don't see how it's done. For that, I'm appreciative no matter how slow the going. It's a cool car but for what it will be, it's irrationally complex--which works for them (except the aging part).

New episode. My favorite comment, "I started watching Project
Binky as a child; I now enjoy watching new episodes with my grandchildren"

Their dedication is admirable but that level of detail is just silly.... Or the only way to do it properly?

Long way off...the way they do stuff...over the top.

Well, I’m past the point of caring about this thing anymore.

Did I understand correctly their pursuit of the ideal function knobs led them into making and selling their refined versions?
The attention to detail these guys exhibit is awe- inspiring to me. I think there a number of Pelicans who could work beside them.
Just seeing the process and results make me smile. Love it.

Case of 'Perfection is the enemy of done'?

I wonder if they do things just to show they can, not necessarily because they need to.

I have watched every episode until now.
5 minutes into this one and I shut it down.
Can't do it anymore.

javadog 08-01-2025 08:33 AM

You made it 5 minutes further than I did.

oldE 08-01-2025 12:05 PM

My OCD kept me until the end and looking forward to the next episode. I just geek out over that stuff.

They do it for the ad revenue. That episode was insane - more advert than content.

I think one of the reasons I appreciate the in depth, dragged out details of this build is that I brings me back to reality of building or restoring vehicles. A lot can be done in a period of time, but properly finishing the details is usually a long slog. I have to face the truth. I don't have the patience to properly restore anything more complex than a rock.

javadog 11-29-2025 05:06 AM

That's why I stick to motorcycles these days. So much easier than a car to restore.

I may still have an itch to scratch with another 914-6 but, if I'm ever dumb enough to go down that road again, I'll sub it out.

But eventually I came to the realization that

They will milk this project until it is no longer profitable
and then they will move on to something else.

The more episodes they produce the more it becomes obvious
we are being played.

The car is just bait.

I suspect they have screwed up on the utube algorithms. They certainly aren't producing content on a weekly basis. At this point it becomes less about production and more about content.
I'm content with that.

Then I am out. Its fabrication masturbation at that point.
