Budget revival of a rough 6-cyl. ’66 Mustang, off the road since the ’80s.
It won’t be shiny.
It won’t be fast.

The Six: YEAR ONE – A 55-minute supercut of the work I fumbled through in 2022:
The Six Manifesto
Concerning video-making as well as an overall outlook on classic car culture.
- This is not a how-to series. It is documentation of a process.
- I won’t use stock music.
- I’ll never start a video with “Hey, guys.” I’ll never say “Now we’re going to…” I won’t pretend to be the host of a make-believe TV show.
- I’ll never refer to my car as “her” or “she” because I’ve always thought that was a little weird.
- I won’t do paid promotion.
- I won’t post meaningless filler to appease algorithms. I’ll post whenever I have five minutes of edited video worth sharing.
- I don’t care about horsepower or burnouts or full send.
- I care more about enjoying myself than doing things right.
- When possible, I will opt to save/reuse/repair an original part.
- This old car is essentially an art project. It will not be treated as a precious collectible or a flippable commodity.
- I won’t apologize for being a novice. I’ll do stupid things. I’ll make a shitload of mistakes.
- I insist that I do stupid things and make a shitload of mistakes.
