I truly admire you informing us about the business. I find it very interesting and most people never talk about the inner workings if you will. On top of that you were cracking me up on this video. Awesome video and I’m really happy to see your channel growing so quickly. I knew it would!!
Thank you both and I’m thrilled you guys like what we’re doing! In due time… Hard work pays off and trust me, we’re constantly trying to better ourselves every video! Look at it this way, one day you’ll be able to say you were here since the beginning 😉
@@scraplifegarage granted the content is interesting and informative but I'm not particularly interested in cars like these being just torn up and sent to a scrap when they could be saved
Just wanted you guys for the 1st time ! Great that you guys salvage all the useable parts ! It be nice to see more Camaro’s on here tho ! I have a 2022 Camaro LT1 and might be interested In ground effects plus a Exhuast and super charger for it ! Need to know where and how to reach out to You !
I love the videos that you guys are putting out, especially the rebuilds. Totally off subject but would you share what you guys use for equipment to record? Mic, camera, gimbal etc.
Hypothetically, and I DO mean hypothetically, viper owners are so used to showing off (let’s be honest, that’s all they’re good for) that they can do it successfully no matter the BAC. BUT most vipers owners simply come to the conclusion that they should sell their cars and buy a Porsche when they have a drink or two.
I tell you what that exhaust system is pretty sweet. That engine sounded fantastic when you started it up. I'm sort of surprise that you do not go ahead and fix that cracked mounting hole. I guess if you don't have the right equipment or people it could be a little costly to take it out and have it done. I cannot figure out around here where he was able to get the car up to that speed and ending up running out of road. I guess alcohol courage takes away some good sense. I do like how you assign a price on things. You were spot on with the clutch. If the car wasn't wrecked and it accident it almost looks like that clutch was never used. Like always I enjoyed your video and of course I always make sure to leave a thumbs up. And I'm already following your channel. I'm really looking forward to watch you finish up on your 911.
just because the bent pulley is out of round..and replaced with new ...BUT...........u dissmiss the actual bolt not the being the same(damage wise) as it was threaded to the warped/out of round/bent pulley..(out of round)? how do u test this?
100+mph ?! Crazy I was only going 40mph when I hit a median & it tore my whole undercarriage apart 😂 car wouldn’t move anymore. Gas line & break line was completely gone 😂
Just saw your 997 turbo vid, not sure if anyone said this. The turbos on the 997 are water cooled and you probably have a leak better when to cooling jacket and the housing. Looks to be just bad turbos imo.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. I love my C6 Z06 and the hell with trying to impress anybody. Especially some chick who probably doesn't give two shits anyway.
I'm looking for a frame, you guys ever sell them? Kinda wishing I knew more about the two you sent to the scrap yard in this video. I'd definitely give scrap price for one lol
@@scraplifegarage Dang! Any way to put a parts request with you guys (not just for headlights) so when somehting comes through, it can be picked off? I know you don't grab every part off before scrapping, sometimes it can be a pain to find one of those weird little bits.
Man I would have loved to have found that car for that price, I would have fixed it. But I’m sure for pure profit it’s worth more to part it out. How come you send the shell to the scrap yard? Is it due to the space it takes up? Because I figured the shell still had lots of good parts.
We do keep some shells around, but at this point we know how to maximize value vs real estate and sometimes, things that seem like they might have value, like a damaged c6 chassis, simply aren’t worth more than scrap.
scraplifegarage thanks for answering my question, I did also want to ask if you get any ls engines that are priced around 2500 dollars? I know most are worth more then that but I wanted to ask before I bought a truck engine and added performance parts. I thought it might be better to start with a corvette or got motor and just add bolt ons to get the hp I’m wanting. Thanks so much.
I have a clean title 09 bone stock c6z with 59k miles. Probably will be selling her soon but man is this car fun to drive. Had no idea fenders were that expensive.
@@scraplifegarage I just got done checking your website out and to be honest with you all of your pricing is very good. I was expecting your pricing to be at least 15% higher.
@@scraplifegarage Okay, disassemble a garbage c6 interior (Door panels, seats down to the frames and garbage foam and carriages they use, headliner, trim panels) and report back to me. I've worked in an upholstery shop for 10+ years, they are built like total garbage.
@@scraplifegarage You are literally hating on a car that has an identical drivetrain with a better quality interior, you make no sense, stop hating on GTO's so much.

I try my best! Not reason not to talk about it! Glad you’re enjoying!
I couldn't agree more. These guys are destined for some serious success.
@@scraplifegarage how about you fix the car instead of scrapping it anything fixable
this is a great series, love your transparency!!
Great video! Always cool to see the inner workings of your business! And congrats on the win!
I find it strange that you don't save the hatch glass... That has to be a fairly expensive part.
Was gonna ask the same thing
I like the atmosphere in your shop and this is fun to watch. Subbed! 👍
Love watching every single video you make. Wish you had many more subscribers to enjoy your content
Me too. Glad i found this channel last week. Subbed after two videos!

You !

Do you guys scrap things like the doors and hatch/dash etc? kinda seems like waste if they are good?
found this channel last weekend ,great videos guys, keep it up!!
Glad you’re enjoying!
That was the best crash reconstruction I have ever seen
Those 427 LS’s are awesome. Huge Power.
Watch the valve train.
Hypothetically;if someone had the same accident in a viper, would it hypothetically come out with more or less hypothetical damage?
I can’t stand people who ask hypothetical questions.

@@BigDaddyTech I can’t stand people that don’t appreciate birthday gifts.
@@scraplifegarage that was a waist please stay away from muscle cars
Mannnn i would’ve fixed that Z06! Never mind! If you can get $30k out of totaled C6 Z06 then go head! Damn!
Just caught my first vid from you! Subbed and looking to catch up.
Oh boy, i was thinking the same thing about those headlights on your car!! hahahaha great minds Fernando!

@@scraplifegarage as you know here in Maryland 97 and 100 are German for Autobahn.

Why does nobody salvage the trunk and glass?
Fr fr
You are an honest man...
100+mph ?! Crazy I was only going 40mph when I hit a median & it tore my whole undercarriage apart 😂 car wouldn’t move anymore. Gas line & break line was completely gone 😂
Did that engine block have a heli coil in it? Did you guys do that or previous owner?
surprised you guys didnt take the doors or hatch.
Website prices are the highest I've seen for C6 parts... good luck.
Love the content lately. Any chance those rear fenders are for sale?
Thanks for watching! Those were the first thing to sell unfortunately.
Trying to impress a woman 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I like the taillights
I will sub because you mentioned prices, Ty,.
U should snatch that MGW shifter! I had one in my old fox and loved it. Just got one for my Vic 🤣
I’ve always loved the stock c6 shifter, but my Zr1 does have a mgw (not flat stick) and it’s not bad at all!
Those “halo” taillights would look nice on your ZR-1.
Just saw your 997 turbo vid, not sure if anyone said this. The turbos on the 997 are water cooled and you probably have a leak better when to cooling jacket and the housing. Looks to be just bad turbos imo.
those tailights are so nice
do you guys not save the glass trunk?
what about the doors and back hatch
Love these vids!
How much for the engine wire harness and the funky headlights you showed in the video
Headlights sold and engine harness goes with the engine sorry!
I broke in next door and told the prison psychiatrist it was your doing
New phone who dis
Doors? Rear hatch? Interior?
Awesome video
it looks clean even If it's wrecked
Can I get those head lights from u guys Lmfaoo
Are you guys selling the short shifter?
Did he hypothetically still lay the pipe?
I need the stirring rack 🕵🏾 from the Z06
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. I love my C6 Z06 and the hell with trying to impress anybody. Especially some chick who probably doesn't give two shits anyway.
3out of 4 motor mount bolts work for me!!!!
I'm looking for a frame, you guys ever sell them? Kinda wishing I knew more about the two you sent to the scrap yard in this video. I'd definitely give scrap price for one lol
We do have a straight z06 aluminum frame.
Give me a shout lee@leecparts.com
A Corvette especially a Z06 is never destroyed.
U got any front bumpers forsale for 08 c6 z
Isn't that a balsa wood and carbon fiber floor? I'd be afraid to tote it around on a forklift like that.
Point of contact is the frame rails, she’s solid!
Yes u should listen to him
How about modifying a Honda jet
Do you still have the carbon fiber console left out of this car?
love these
how much for the left finder
Any chance the headlights survived and are for sale? I'm really wanting a set of those lights!
First that that sold sorry!
@@scraplifegarage Dang! Any way to put a parts request with you guys (not just for headlights) so when somehting comes through, it can be picked off? I know you don't grab every part off before scrapping, sometimes it can be a pain to find one of those weird little bits.
You dont keep the doors and trunk lid and things off the cars?
We keep everything of value unless we have too many of them already
I'm interested in some of the parts off this car, how do I contact you?
9:05 How come you never sell the doors to the vettes?
We have a ton of them for sale, most of the ones you see us scrapping are damaged in some way shape or form.
I thought the doors would be worth something?

@@75impalaca91 those days are long gone unfortunately. The absolute minimum for a higher mile LS1 is 4k these days
Damn I was going to ask how much for the body of that z06
I have a clean title 09 bone stock c6z with 59k miles. Probably will be selling her soon but man is this car fun to drive. Had no idea fenders were that expensive.
Dude you chugged one natty light in like 36 seconds and looked hammered. You a bit of a lightweight?
Cracking one over your head like stone cold 8:05 Monday morning.
Most millennials are!
I saw that car for sale on facebook lol dude was asking to much for that thing
I’d argue that it definitely wasn’t too much, watch until the end!
Yes change out your tail lights.
Where can I buy parts from yall on my c6
Leecparts.com
look like speed engineering headers
Soooo, he hit a speed bump? Damn shame! From your reenactment. LoL
1:42 It seems to be, hypothetically, missing the front end tbh.
You could hypothetically say that
Why do you guys not save doors ?
We have a massive wall full of doors!
As soon as I saw women With a picture of a corvette I clicked on the video 😅
Why did the cars going to the junkyard still have doors and deck lids? You guys don’t mess with those.
Unfortunately when we have so many of each of those, they become not worth the storage
@@scraplifegarage I just got done checking your website out and to be honest with you all of your pricing is very good. I was expecting your pricing to be at least 15% higher.
@@HP.Customs *Prices just went up with 15% after that remark* -- What did you do man?!
I guess you used the taillights after all
Local glass shops don't want those windshields and hatch glass? Supply chain issues equals resale $ profit to national glass companies.
Unfortunately it’s just too clunky of a process to get them removed etc without braking. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
If he hit a curb at 100mph that car would have been destroyed. Looks more like 50mph.
Yeah, the front wheels weren't even destroyed. I've destroyed front wheels at 50-60mph
I need a drivers seat for a 2002 C5. I have worn mine out. too bad you are so far away.
We ship worldwide!
@@scraplifegarage I need a light grey sport seat. If not the whole seat, do you know where I can get just the cover? Thanks!
Nice ride
Well, it was a nice ride
sweet deal
Why would you not just fix that Corvette? Lots of profit left as you bought it for 12.5 k
🤣 thats hilarious the zo6 is so bad it doesn't have a crash safety rating more like 25 mph
Do you guys sell engines?
Guess I should have watched the video first. Lol
The a/f speaks volumes.
every video just makes me want to make more bad financial decisions
Hopefully not like the one this guy made!
@@scraplifegarage all i wanna know is, was she impressed?
You know I didn’t ask…
Turning junk into gold. 👍
I'm guessing Ann Heche didn't see this vid...
You call it a GTO but to me it's a Holden aus made
Every car you buy has pretty much that story or it was a kid who thought they’d watched enough Fast & Furious, to drive it…
Has this guy ever tripped when walking backwards while filming?
When I do, you know damn well it’ll be in the outtakes
If you come across a c5 z06 builder I’m in the market let me know!
You forgot to take the trunk off
I think the lights would look nice however, keep your original.
Stop hating on GTO's, they are awesome! The interiors are way better than the corvettes from that era.
Gonna have to disagree with you on that one
@@scraplifegarage Okay, disassemble a garbage c6 interior (Door panels, seats down to the frames and garbage foam and carriages they use, headliner, trim panels) and report back to me. I've worked in an upholstery shop for 10+ years, they are built like total garbage.

I thot you were going to fix it.
Not this one, but keep an eye for the video coming out Friday
The intro 😅
You would drink Natty Light...
I spent all my money on a Porsche. I can’t afford to tap the Rockies anymore
However, I'd probably just buy an LS3 car for 20 grand and be done with it
Do the gas tanks come with gas? Lmao
The employees get the gas 🤣
@@scraplifegarage lol
100+ hit the curb? Bet eve the registration is bent
Highly unlikely it went over a curb at 100 no where near damaged what it would be at 100
wouldn't you have made more money having repaired and resold this car
No, This car wasn’t a candidate for that in my opinion.
