From experience with the coupe, I can tell you that the emblem's action on the car I drove was next to seamless. But perhaps this highlights the inherent inconsistencies of handcrafted construction- not that we should throw the baby out with the bath water, mind...

For an 18 year old, not a bad way to secure your future and see the results of your work. Certainly better than flipping burgers, working in call centers or being the denizen of a cubicle. A couple of things were surprising the apparent lack of a subframe for the engine and transmission and it seems that the doors are removed to be kitted with the interior bits and then refit. Also, it may have been do to the vagaries if YouTube, but I was surprised how jerky the motion of the lady is, I'd expect it to be more fluid.
