How to not be cringe?

Some of you know I've been working on a video about a car project. It's been taking way longer than it should have. It's still THAT video. I don't even remember which alt I was on when i started it.

The current 'part one' is 95% complete. Just needs an outro and background music.

The problem is, I'm scrapping the design. I don't want to scrap all this progress on the video, though -- this is six months worth of work.

Part One is "intro, history, parts needed, 3d printed parts, preassembly, prewiring".

Part Two was supposed to be the in-car windshield prep and installation

Then a couple parts of the programming and calibration, followed by showcasing all my previous failed designs and screwups.

But now half of Part One is a failed design.

I'm not sure how to proceed with this.

If I leave this video as-is, then the order gets all messed up. This was also supposed to be a sort of tutorial others could do.

If I remove the incorrect information and save it for the 'failed designs' video, this Part One becomes a clunky 4 minutes long.

If I wait until I get the new design figured out, that means the video is going to take even longer, especially since there's a good chance I'll need a new windshield again.

I could change Part 2 to say "ok it's no longer a how-to, it's a 'follow along while I figure it out'" but that's not what I wanted this to be.

The new new new 2024 v6 design is actually going to be very basic. Disappointingly basic, really. I had all kinds of nice visuals of how my parts went together, and none of it will apply to the new design.

The big plot twist in all this is that for the past four years, I've been designing custom mounting brackets because you cannot buy just the bracket on its own -- it comes with the windshield, and there is no correct windshield with the bracket for my model, and it's not common enough to rely on junkyard availability. But now in $current_year, you can buy the mounting bracket on Aliexpress for $5, making the past four years of custom brackets completely moot.

I know it's a niche thing and I'm never going to actually be a real Big Boy youtuber, this is mostly a way to occupy my 30s, but I'd still like to do it proper so I can pretend I'm cool and somewhat known like Aging Wheels. I also know the responses here will be little more than 'dude bussy lmao' and 'post hog', but this is at least a more honest community than Reddit when it comes to 'how to not be cringe'

What do I do?
