A tarp, almost forty years and a free mystery car for NoNonsenseKnowHow
The eight-day-old barn find, which also squeezes in some diagnosing on Leo's boat, has passed 900,000 views on a week with no new uploads.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
FREE Mystery Car Sitting Under Tarps for 35+ Years TREASURE or TRASH?
Chris, the mechanic behind NoNonsenseKnowHow, posted nothing new over the past seven days, and his channel ran a little warmer than usual anyway. The reason is sitting under a tarp.
"FREE Mystery Car Sitting Under Tarps for 35+ Years TREASURE or TRASH?" went up eight days ago and is close to 920,000 views. The premise is classic NNKH: a property owner wants an old car gone, and Chris peels back the covers to see what almost four decades have left of it. The tags hint at a Ford-or-Chevy guessing game, Chevelle and LTD among them, and the same episode detours into some diagnosing on Leo's boat. It is drawing views many times faster than anything else on the channel right now.
Behind it, two old truck rescues keep a steady pace. The $1,000 1978 Kenworth K100 cabover from last year is nearing two million views, and the 1972 Diamond REO, a $2,500 Marketplace find with a Detroit Diesel 8V71 that Chris hoped would fire up, is not far off a million.
Subscribers barely moved, about a thousand for the week, but views across the channel came in around a million and a half. Among car channels close to his size, that puts NoNonsenseKnowHow in the upper half, almost level with TheTopher, while George J Saliba had the big week of the group and DEBOSS GARAGE ran quieter than usual.
