these are all relevant to what? relevant to frank? he has another life. the video clearly states he works on the car on sundays.
your words cut. what you convey may cause someone to hold back an ounce of potential. that ounce could cause a landslide towards positive direction.

get off your arse and do it the frank-lee-way. show the world the right way is your way. i'm sure you can do more than just removing all the seats from your tempo for weight reduction.
They are relevant because they show what the true motivation is.

See, if the true motivation was to build this car he'd be talking about, and finishing, the car.

Look, I totally support projects such as this. Yes! It's true! And I totally will pick apart thinly disguised money making schemes too- think Aptera, K&N, Palmear, etc. If there would have been no mention of money and grandiose plans, and all the vids were devoted to the vehicle, I would have shown 99% support right from the get-go.

There are some of the classic red flags in the vids and in the posts- crazy and ambiguous claims for one. Tell me, what did you see that you thought was patent worthy? I musta missed it.
