Engine building, Hotrodding, and How-To Guides
What’s up guys! My name is Ben, after years of people telling me I should start a YouTube channel I finally did. I love all things cars, modern, classic, modded, stock, offroading, drag racing you name it. I’m thankful you stopped by my channel and I know your time is valuable, so I do my best to keep the videos upbeat and minimize downtime. Content will include, rescuing classics, basic maintenance, performance mods, vehicle part outs, engine building and everything in between!
I have a wife, two children and a full-time job that occupy much of my time but I’m always sneaking in some wrenching! I’ll tell you right now my lovely wife is the reason I’m able to make this happen, she is my #1 supporter! Filming and editing takes away from family time, but she enables me to create content for you to enjoy!
The D.I.G. community is awesome, you guys motivate me to record and make it easy to dedicate time to this channel!

*Shorts are Back!* *A comment I read humbled me*
This Youtube thing is a weird journey full of ups, downs, trials and errors and testing new things. Earlier this year I had attempted to separate my long and short form content thinking it would make Youtube prioritize my long form content. After a few months I'm thinking it didn't make a difference? I guess I can post both on one channel and it's fine. So I'm turning all the shorts back to public.
For those following the 283/engine stand build, it's almost done! That video should be out on the 8th. Then I MIGHT do a double feature the following week. Someone in the comments asked for the very thing I was planning!
On a more serious note, sometimes I get sidetracked with view metrics and subs counts like I think all creators do at some point. To where I lose sight of why I started this channel, the driving factor was to help people and make that one video someone has been searching for and desperately needs but just cant find. I had one guy comment on a video that stopped me in my tracks, he basically said where he lives he can barely get cell service but when he does he always watches this channel. I was stunned and couldn't quite process it at first. I feel like a regular person, I have a day job, a family and by night I turn wrenches. But the fact that someone out there makes sure to tune into Dive In Garage in the rare occasion he does get internet was truly humbling. I'm going to do my best to keep up the entertaining content but I'll make sure to prioritize those pain points that someone out there really needs help with. I say it every now and again, but if you're struggling with something let me know. I might just make a video on it!
As always, thanks you guys!
Have a great weekend and rip some burnouts!

Who would be interested in a set of assembled Ebay heads?
Looking ahead at the year, considering offering these for sale. They would be an exact clone of Hank's heads for now. Comment below if you have questions

Do you like the background music while I'm talking? Sometimes I feel its fitting and include it. I try to make sure it's not too loud and fighting with the main volume. Let me know what you think?

Hey guys, Ive spent the week hunting for parts at the junkyard, fixing the wife's car and prepping for this insane looking storm. My area is going to get hammered, they're talking about 12+ inches of snow then ice on top of that. I'll probably be plowing snow all day Sunday... stay safe out there. Catch you next week, we'll be working on the top end of the 283sbc. Finish line is in sight!

Anyone else have this crazy sickness going around?
Its like cold/flu symptom roulette. Everyday is something different.
I normally dont have a problem recording sick, but I can't make two sentences without breaking out into a coughing or sneezing fit. Will have to skip this week's video unfortunately. But I'll be back at it next week!
Stay safe and stay healthy

Major Channel Change: I will no longer be posting short form content on this channel. If you liked the short form videos, check out my new channel - @DiveInGarageShorts. Will be re-uploading my shorts library there and adding new ones!

What is your favorite content on the channel?
As I'm planning for 2026, I want to consider your favorite content. I have plenty of changes that will be made starting next year (or as soon as I can) to help the channel grow. Hoping to take on more projects, increase post frequency, and hopefully more collaborations. I try to make every video as helpful as I can and pack in as much value as possible. But me doing videos on the things I find interesting doesn't always make for good youtube.
So let me know what you prefer, if not an option listed let me know in the comments!
