Scammer might be a strong word. Opportunist for sure. Especially when the internet is so vast a simple google will lead to sites like this or CRG.

Gee, I've never charged to help with a broadcast sheet....
He missed some important details but was at least in the ballpark.
Never mentioned the axle date - 3.31 would be unusual in a Z.

He couldn't find a rear brake pressure regulator valve. Not supposed to be one on an early Norwood car if I remember correctly. So, he is not as knowledgeable as he thinks he is. My early Z does not have one, but my July built car does.

I think it's the early Norwood cars that didn't have them. Started mid-year, late January.

I think he says some paint marks in the trunk may mean it got stripes. That's a leap!

I wondered about that claim too, I had never heard that one before.

I have watched a few of his videos and generally liked them. He did, however, cover the Grumpy's Toy IV '68 Camaro at the Nationals in one of his videos and represented it as real...or at least he allowed the owner to represent it as real, without interruption or correction. My understanding is that car is a well-known fake.

I like his recent interview of Levi Holmes.

But it does bother me that he covers this IV tribute car and didn't know it's not the original.
