This is one of the better YouTube channels and they really goes into detail on the whole build process. It's more of a documentary than your normal car YouTube video. It just doesn't show the build process but describes all the engineering behind the Corvette and what it takes to build one. It takes 3 shifts (2 days) to build 1 Corvette and they build 200 a day. The engine building section is really interesting to watch. Every engine goes through a 20 minute dyno test and it takes 8 hours to build 2.75 engines.

Same here. Some of the "how it's made" videos just show the vehicle rolling down the line and don't go into much details. These guys really do a good job at explaining the process especially when it comes to the engine building.

I like the how its made videos. the ones i dont like is when it turns into scripted drama and fake reality mess. i loved orange county choppers years ago when it was new. then it got more and more fake with scripted drama and i stopped watching.

You should check out their other videos, they have some really good ones and a recent one of the Bronco Raptor. I like it because it's more like a short documentary rather than some babbling about the build process.

I use to love watching OCC when it first came out. But then every show turned into a fight between jr & sr with sr always threatening jr with his size 12 shoe.

I owned a 2007, 2011, & 2015.
All purchased new.

Would love a C8, but its about as crazy as the Bronco fiasco. No thanks.

Cool video.

Yes those shows were so raw and real in the beginning. Cool bikes too. Then everything became fake. No two people can fight that much without murdering each other.

I use to really enjoy watching OCC along with all the other bike building shows back then. Talk about a show going down hill fast with all the arguing it just ruined it.

yes he was. i have a feeling the producers did not like him in the spot light until fans got a love for him. then they started giving mikey lots of screen time.
