The only downside to Goonzquad blowing up is the copycats have already arrived (not saying you, to be clear, I realize that was a joke) and people really don't grasp the difficulty behind what these guys are doing. They have a simple formula: buy a car with cosmetic damage only, outsource all framework, do the rest. The two huge caveats are the biggest headaches you can have in a build: getting a car running and getting it straight. Not trying to knock what they do whatsoever, they weld, do significant body work and incredible paint jobs themselves, stuff they've clearly trained in/done before.
Average Joe/YouTuber cannot perform this work with any competency. It's amusing to see what they do contrasted with someone like B is for Build, completely different standards. I guess a huge testament to them is they make absolutely hard work look so easy it's tempting to view it and say "hey I can do that". After several project cars in my teens/early 20s I can confidently say "nope, not even gonna give that a try". Copart for a track car would be a wise investment, something with hail damage or flood damage but otherwise running, anything else and you're facing several thousand in parts and another several thousand in labor.
