Thanks Danny for watching our episodes! I’ve had a super heavy work load so Episode #9 covering our trip to Dodge City keeps getting pushed but we are working on it! Also keep an eye out for our kickstarter project coming up to help rehead and arm a KY Muffler Man.
South Carolina muffler man is now moving to Grove Oklahoma. I will post pictures when I get him in place.
Looking forward to the pictures!
Hey Joel,
Watching the Youtube channel now. Did you ever make it to NJ? I live within 45 mins of 3. Well 2 and a UniRoyal girl.
Actually I just looked at the map and there’s a bunch more nearby including a half wit. And the location of the half wit went out of business so it might move soon. If you’re ever in business near Philly you’ll have to check them out
Thank you for these wonderful episodes…my sister and I do road trips all over the country and have tracked down several of these big guys (and some gals). Love the interviews and additional info you provide. I even have a scrapbook dedicated to all of the Muffler Men we’ve seen. Hope you are able to continue your videos!
Maine has a couple of giants, though not “muffler men,” as you define them. One is a very large Paul Bunyan on a highway approach to Bangor, Maine, that has been there for a very long time. More impressive is the wooden, Skowhegan “Indian,” hand-crafted and painted by Bernard “Blackie” Langlais, a well-known artist (long deceased) represented in many regional museums with large-scale figurative works. Not sure if you track such things but these two are vintage examples of such roadside attractions.
Yes I keep my eye on all roadside giants although I am especially fond of Muffler Men. I have yet to visit Main and all your giants. Looking forward to the trip when it happens and thanks so much for the information and for visiting our site!
Joel
Dear Joel, me and my roommate LOVE your American Giants series on YouTube. You should absolutely be proud of what you have created. We would like to than you for your insight in documenting your travels across Ametica. Along with gratitude, however comes a certain sorrow. When will new episodes be released to the viewing public?!? Since today (Decrmber 22 to be exact) is our shared birthday we beseech you: release the tapes! The public wants more American Giants! I’m trying to be funny, but our love is sincere! Be our hero Joel, be an American Giant!
Love, always
Jo & Em
Dear Jo and Em,
That was hilarious, thanks for your letting me know you enjoy the episodes. I really want to get back to the episodes! I made the last one about a year ago, and although you can see I have many more already shot and lined up, I have yet to edit them. We got really busy doing restorations this last year and the regular episodes took a break. Your not the only ones who have beseeched me to continue the episodes. They do take an amazing amount of time to shoot and edit so we have been trying to come up with donors to sponsor each episode. While your waiting you could have a look at our restoration videos, check them out at the bottom of the restorations page on the web site. Also be sure and follow us on facebook and instagram. I post almost every day on both of those. All the best!
Did you ever do and episode or blog post about the Paul Bunyan in St. Maries, Idaho?
Not yet, we hope to start doing episodes again later this year and there is high demand for one of Texaco Big Friends (like the one in St Maries) I have been there and shot everything, just need to make the episode.
We love this series, when does episode 12 come out?
