Jim Silva - Silva Diecast Customs

Through a combination of my build videos, short videos (including Tips and COOL or NOT video/giveaways), the Challenges, and far too few live streams lol, I finally reached two of my long term goals for the Channel over the same weekend. I reached 50,000 subscribers and 1.5 million views...and I have all of you to thank for this. Thanks to you for watching, commenting, sharing and hyping the videos (and for tolerating me in general lol), we finally got to these numbers. Thank you! Thank you so very much!

In the past year or so, I came across four of the Hot Wheels Factory chassis (three long chassis, one short) and thought they were pretty cool. Jim over at ‪@DT99race‬ made a video about the 1970 Hot Wheels Factory machine about five years ago -- check it out if you've never seen it. Damn we had great toys back then before everyone tried to protect us from ourselves lol

I often get asked by other customizers with YouTube channels if I have any suggestions for increasing viewership/subscribers...and one of my questions is always "do you do shorts?" Short videos have had a very positive effect on my channel and I can't think of a better example that this old Short Tips video - the results of which seem to keep growing at an amazing rate, for reasons I can't explain lol
