A little about my upcoming Youtube channel

-
Totally backwards from around here , most are younger than 50ish , the older ones have drivers for their cars , and/or muscle cars----
You would be surprised at amount of hellcats at the mopar meet. More than anything else now.
All chrys;er would have to do to make the hellcats roadrace worthy would be to get them down to camaro and rustang weights.

I do see a ton of modern Challengers when I go to the occasional Mopar show but it's still kind of a different crowd than I want to address. I talk to my 'car friends' or people who see my Duster at shows and they always say something like "Oh I'd love to have something like that but I don't understand carburetors and all that old-tech stuff" or "That's awesome but I don't think I could put up with the maintenance/repairs/costs", while they have multiple 90s-2000s import projects they've sank thousands of dollars into and are kind-of fast but break all the time. Or they're on the stupid 'LS swap everything' bandwagon.

Fiat-Peugeot-Chrysler needs a sporty car the size of the Mustang or smaller but oriented towards overall performance, like a mini-Viper. And/or bring out a new Viper. That is pretty much the ONE Mopar even import fans that grew up in the 90s lust after.

agree, but the vipers were to little , i couldn`t even get in one at the dealership back then.
 
Speaking of other forums.....and I may have asked you this in the past.......but have you ever been a member of any 4x4 or Jeep forums?

Well, sort of in a way but not specifically.
I was admin/moderator for a site called southwestriders.com though.
The site doesn't exist any more, but it was an offroad site mostly for ATV's and motorcycles.
That was where the TrailBeast name came from.

My friend at the time and co admin of the site basically ran people off with his paranoid attitude that people were after him behind his back and did things that were preemptive retaliation when nothing warranted it.
I bailed on the site and him both when we started loosing members faster than they were signing up and he wouldn't take a hint that he was the problem and not the members, and then he started accusing me of sabotaging the site.
He had issue's man, and I was done.

And you've never been involved with any other Jeep or 4x4 site? Even as a member?I could swear I remember your screen name. Course I'm sure you ain't the only TrailBeast.
 
I have an update on the Mopars4us Youtube channel progress.
THERE WILL BE BURNOUTS! for one. :lol:
I talked to the other guys and they want to do burnouts, so I will also.:D

About Rob and his Mopar stable.
Rob has my extra set of wheels and cheap tires I forgot about because I loaned them to him so he could roll his recently acquired Dodge Monaco around and get it ready for the 440 he is currently building.
I think he said it has a 8.25 in it right now but he wants me to do a 8.75 for it.
Rob is pretty darn knowledgeable on Mopars of all species and thinks some "Big as a whale" burnouts would be cool as heck. (I agree)
Rob also has an orange metal flake Hemi Daytona truck, but I think he babies that.:D
An original 74 Dart also hangs around Robs house, and is the car I built the most recent 8.75 Sure Grip for.
We think it just hangs around looking for something to eat.:D

Another one in for the smoke show is David with a 68 Barracuda/440/727/410's/3200 stall with fender well headers and old school side pipes and aluminum centerline wheels.
That one is a tire roaster, and he's also exited about being involved.
David also has a 67 Plymouth Fury, all raced out, Hot 440/727/RNMB/also 410's.
He just recently got this one together and it's a terror.
David is a character, and sometimes should be sent to the Blue Room for a timeout.
We also tease him about his black van. (You know what they say about black vans with tinted windows.):D

Then there's Mike, 71 Dart and a 318 with some teeth.
Mikes car is silver with black accents and dual scoops, old school slots and a Gear vendors OD behind a 904.
Mikes dart also has 4 wheel disc brakes, green axle bearings and dual turn downs that make all the dust we need.:icon_fU:
Mike also has an original paint patina D100/440/727 that scoots.

About Steve.
Steve has a beautiful 66 Dart wagon with all the amenities.
Stroker small block, EFI, cold air intake, AC, sounds and limo tint windows.
He also has a badass D100 truck, 440/727 with GVOD/ nitrous, 4 link and custom paint and interior.
Don't know if he is in or not as I have not talked with him about it yet.

We have two more that I have not talked with about it yet, and that is Dan with a 69 Roadrunner and another guy that wants to join us that I don't know his name yet.
The white Polara Vert belongs to the guy that wants to join us.

So another update is that I got the Go Pro Hero 8 Black, tripods, handgrips, suction mounts and and remote for the camera, but found out my phone isn't quite capable of handling the Go Pro software. (go figure:rolleyes:) so I have a new 256 gigabyte Iphone on it's way and should be here this coming Monday.
This new phone will give me a screen where I can see what the camera see's as well as being able to remote control the camera plus edit and upload videos to Youtube.
This way anything can be done without needing to use a computer or an expensive Ipad.
Also have my first subject here and ready for one of the first video's, but that's a secret until it happens.:D

Here's a few of the cars in our Mopars4us group that will end up on our Mopars4us Youtube channel.
Thanks for reading my book.:D
Enjoy.

Great to have more Mopar related vids out there... However I am a very visual learner and wish there was more Mopar folks making "How To" vids more showing step by step stuff. Really wish those of you with all your years of experience would be making vids from basics to removal of trim/panels/etc for others to learn from.

You have a guy like that Uncle Tony who has a lot to say and knowledge but very little actual how to shown step by step from his channel. Guy is entertaining but would love to have that and more educational stuff for those of us who don't have easy access to old timers that can show how to do things. Then you have a guy like Tyler's Neighborhood who is very technical and shows some how to but his vids do kind of drown on for long periods and could be more direct to the point. There is also that Buzz guy who was doing work on a Barracuda that was pretty decent but little over the top at times.

I find myself having to watch Chevy and Ford vids to see things to give me an idea on how it is with my Mopars. Rather would like to watch work on a Mopar.
 
Beast !
did you suddenly loose your subscribers ?
I had to re-sign in to YouTube today, and I lost almost all of my saved channels, including yours.
....thought I should tell you, just in case.

And what is it you would like to see?

Not to yank you back to the future with an old post, but the video I did on the Mopar electronic distributor disassembly and reassembly by far was viewed and liked WAY more than any other video.
(Like 1,400 views compared to 1-200 for any other video)
It seems most like the in depth details and “how to” videos.
 
I've not gotten any notifications of any new posts. Is your youtube channel dead?

No, not dead.
It was a video from awhile back and it has way more viewers than any of the other video’s.
It just seems to indicate that is the most popular type of video people like.

Glad to hear that. I'll check out my settings on everything. I don't half know what I'm doin anyway.
