    Anyone know what's going on with Jordan Bennett? His website is offline and he's posted nothing new on YouTube in 2 months.

    I was thinking the same today when I saw he hadn’t made any videos for a few months. Been a month or two on Instagram as well.

    Hope he’s well.
     
  5. All is well. Unfortunately partnerships sometimes don’t work. I burnt myself out. Building Hotrods and fabrication became something someone was telling me to do. I lost the creative touch, the inspiration and drive.
    Family first. I’ll back be just focusing on what’s important first.

    Yes. Glad you’re good. It’s easy to get caught up in that trap. Time for a reset. Wish you well.

    Jordan, you are incredibly talented. Thanks for all the inspiration. You have no clue how many people are pulling for you. You have a knack of explaining things that is hard to find and coupled with your insane skills is near impossible to find. The hot rod world is a better place because of your insight. Looking forward to new endeavors.

    I'm glad to hear you're ok. I've learned a lot watching your videos and I hope you're able to do more in the future on your own terms.

    Wish you the best Jordan. As many have already stated, you have been an inspiration to many with your incredible talent and drive. Health and family are always a priority which most of us have put on the back burner at some point.

    Good luck to you, Jordan. I've always told people, don't mix your hobby and work. If you do, your hobby becomes work and pretty soon you'll burn out. Take care of your family and re-enter the hobby at your own pace when you're ready. You created some awesome YouTube videos and I truly appreciate them.

    I'm glad you're good, you're right "family first". Sorry I've got no words of wisdom even through this has happened to me twice. I'm OCD to detail!
     
  14. It’s very humbling to read and absorb these comments. The YouTube was never about making money or fame. Just purely sharing the p***ion and getting others to create, be inspired and get in the shop and dig into those projects that have been sitting for decades. The hotrods family is world wide but still a small community it’s important we all keep sharing the love for it for generations to come!
    I’ll be picking up where we left off on projects but far now I’ll post more on here and less about YouTube. I want to see some significant progress with the future projects and get the p***ion back!
    Been working on my roadster every night and it’s fun again!

    So strange I was just wondering a couple days when you were going to upload another video! One of the few fab/ hot rod channels I don't skim through. So many good tips and tricks embedded in your videos. Put some time in on your own stuff and don't worry about the rest of the world for a little while! Don't leave us hanging for too long though!!

    Glad you're enjoying the journey again. I've been playing around cars since I was 5 when my dad got me a 1/4 midget (1955). I traded that for a 28 Dodge when I was 13. I'm still at it and still learning. You're a great craftsman and I enjoy your creative side making stuff look period. I hope we'll see videos return in the future - I've always seemed to learn by watching not reading. I had a friend who restored airplanes. He got tired of customers telling him how it should be done. He ended up buying planes and restoring them his way and the selling them. In reality he made more money and had less stress not trying to keep someones unrealistic budget or deadline.
