It is alright I need to know what I need to improve on I will take all comments good or bad just don't go overboard like the cache thread where EVERYONE had to say SOMETHING!!!
You're way ahead of me already. I haven't got a clue how to post to youtube. Slow down and try standing in one spot and slowly panning with the camera. Stop and zoom in on the important bits you're trying to show. It's all good.

So you think it is a custom car

The thirties and years that followed were awful tough on many folks. Doodle bug tractors showed up built from car parts. Cars were cannibalized to keep other cars running and few things were really discarded but rather saved just in case they could be used. A pile of metal on the farm was a resource for material.
Too in time, two world wars and their effect on resources taught many people to use stuff up till it was not fixable, then use it for something else. That old car or cars on your site was not forgotten and just dumped, someone knew right where it was if needed. War efforts collected such materials at times too so many such items were hauled away.
Part of history. Here is a couple articles that make your find a survivor, possibly saved for a reason....

Jolt, that's a very unique find!! It looks like you were shooting the video with a phone. If you are, turn the phone sideways instead of holding it straight up. It fills the frame better. The VideoShop app should allow you to turn the video to the proper orientation when you edit it. As the others have said, take your time to shoot each item that you are focusing on.

Looking forward to seeing your next video.

I looked at it again yesterday and I think all the parts are 1953 dodge and I don't think it is a custom car anymore.
