Dear Mr. Wes.
👍👌👏 Very well done again.
2) Your videos including the talking (= fortunately you are teaching/explaining us viewers a lot) are fantastic just like they are. In my opinion a perfect mixture between working and explaining (like Mustie1, Johnathan W., Marty T., Bus Grease Monkey, Indiana Diesel and, last but not least, Coldwarmotors etc.p.p.). On mostly technology based channels one does simply not work without the other.
Channels like for instance great Mr. Chickadee, My Self Reliance (Shawn James), XiaoXi's and unbeliiievably fantastic LiZiQi are mostly self explanatory and need no respectively nearly no talking. Those vids are kind of meditational/meditative because only with working and nature sounds/noises.
3) What to do with the red pickup truck? That's a hard decision for sure. You have a kind of reliable, old work horse with nearly no extra features (so not much can break down). Older is often better but definitely more stabil than new.
On the other hand there is the old enemy = rust (and a lot of it). Also your pickup truck is kind of worn out a bit... let's call it "shabby chic"! ;-) :-)
With your possibilities and great skills I would do a rolling restoration (only fixing what is necessary and rusted through things like cabin floor and rear fenders).
Of course I would buy a new windshield and definitely a used driver seat or repair this one (and strengthen it on the side you always slide over and in the car). I would also simply try to polish the left front light lense.
Then I would treat the complete undercarriage/underbody with the Mustie1 solution: A sticky mixture made out of sticky chainsaw oil and diesel (if I remember correctly). This hinders rust to evolve farther very reliable and for years (see Crusty, his famous patina split window single cab). To prevent the upper body he uses hot/warm = liquid toilet ring wax with great succes.
If you do so you would become Westie1 even more! LOL ;-) :-)
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Postscriptum: 💚 Nice that you protect the Robin mama and her nest. Hope we will see more of it.
