Hi All,

I'm just getting through Ant Anstead's master mechanic where he builds his own Alfa Romeo GP car tribute. Really enjoying it. Much less of the "old aaaaht yer aaaand" Mike Brewer nonsense (though it does have it's place on Wheeler Dealers) or *Voicover* "...If the wheels don't arrive in time, all these puppies will die..."
A lot more of "I love making this, here, I'm going to weld in my suspension, this is how a panhard rod works...".

I'm also a big fan of Craig Jones on Youtube, really enjoyed the motorcycle builds he did with On Yer Bike and now on his own channel Doghouse Customs, though that's been a bit sparse recently as he's had other stuff going on.

Does anyone have any other restoration or special build series they'd recommend? Ideally on Youtube/Netflix/Catchup (mainly internet telly here).

Cheers! Dan

I agree with above, Mark Evans is pretty good.
I’d never heard of the Ant Anstead programme. I’ve googled it and it looks really interesting. Did you have to subscribe to Motortrend to watch it Dan?

youtube channels I like which have some of the content you're after:

Mightycarmods (although the skinny bloke's voice GRATES, MATE!)
Classic Octane
Retropower
Tyrrel's Classic Workshop (only recently got going. Mate of Harry Metcalfe's and a fount of knowledge about classic cars.)
Really Random Channel

Edit: Hrary?

Project Binky is brilliant! If you watch anything, watch Binky!

B is for build is ok. Lacking in areas but he is quite prolific. Finnegan's garage is worth a watch

I just wish I had half the skills of some of these guys!
