About my Project
I have always loved cars and working on cars. This started at a young age. When I was only a few months old I would ride around in two of the coolest muscle cars known to man, a 1967 Chevelle SS396 and a 1965 Chevy 2 with a 385 Chevy small block my Dad built. My Dad gave me my first truck, a 1964 C10 when I was 9 years old. This truck is a father/son project that we have slowly been putting together. When I was 13 years old, I decided that I wanted to begin drag racing. I was told if I could buy my own car, then I could race. I worked to save some money, then started looking for a car. After looking, I finally found the perfect car, a 1991 Camaro Z28. I bought that car for a steal of a deal. I got my racing license not too long afterward. I raced an entire season with the car the way I bought it. I finished the season 4th in points, which was not too bad for being the new kid. After the season ended, the car underwent some work. I removed the old 305 small block and replaced it with a 5.3 LS I rebuilt. The car has only made a few passes since being rebuilt. I attended a car show in the summer of 2023, that little did I know, would change my life forever. I went to one of the biggest car shows ever, the Hot Rod Power Tour. This show has the biggest names in the industry attending. I got to meet my heroes that day. Later, I won a car from one of those heroes. This car was a 1966 Chevy Biscayne. This car was a 4-door cut into a 2-door. This car came from Canada. I did take a quick trip up to Canada to visit with Dan and Dani from DD Speed Shop and to pick up the car. I had the car transported from North Dakota to North Carolina. This video can be seen on my channel. This was the first video I ever filmed and edited. Why did I want to do this project? I wanted to achieve this because I have wanted to start an automotive YouTube channel and finally did it recently. I also want to learn more about what goes into creating a successful automotive entertainment business. So far, I have learned that you must be devoted to your cars and business if you are going to succeed. How am I going to achieve this? Firstly, I have begun to learn the YouTube algorithm. I have figured out certain terms are better to use for videos than others. I will need to learn how to promote my channel using social media. (Also I need a crash course in Instagram.) I have begun to research other successful automotive channels and businesses. I am continuing on my normal schedule of posting every other week. This means that I will need to work at every opportunity I have on the cars, filming, and editing of videos. It is hard to properly break apart my project into weeks because I need to have a video finished and posted every other week. How will I prove my success? I will prove my success by documenting how my channel grows week to week. I will also include the links to the videos I release during the 12-week period. I will also include data such as t-shirt sales and sponsorship programs. What is my starting point? I currently have 2,163 subscribers, 50,277 views, and a sponsorship with Black Widow Mufflers.
