  • Enough with the topless look, it is time to cover up the Silverado for winter. We will do some trimming on both the cab and the parts. Then we will get everything prepped and figure out how we are going to get this thing back in one piece. Maybe I should order a pizza for this.....

    My favorite aspect of your builds is that you take a bunch of destroyed vehicles and use them to make a couple complete good ones. It's so resourceful and I love that.

    You make it look so simple. But it’s only your experience that allows it to look so easy. Good job!

    Seems like a lot of money and work for an old 200K mile truck not in high demand. Or maybe I'm wrong about the demand part.

    Nice job, I've often wondered when I see roofs being chopped and they but weld the two sections with and with out backer metal how strong they really are or would be, you've answered my question in your video

    That “A Piller” part certainly answered some questions!

    I follow your channel regularly. I knew you were in the Greater Chicago area, but until you drove the Silverado through town I didn't know it was Lemont. I escaped IL 3 years ago having moved from Plainfield/Naperville area to West Michigan. Love your humor. Best continued success in your business and videos.

    The one thing I do like about the belt sanders is that they don't throw near the sparks the grinding wheels do, and sometimes none if you take it easy.

    Its good to watch a job done correctly. The reinforcement pieces used in splicing the cab back together just make a pro job worthy of seeing quality in a repair. Hat off the superior work.

    Have you ever thought about how many times you have said "In the pile"?? Just a thought I had. I've been watching you for a long time now love the content what you can to to a wreck is awesome 👌.

    Dude, I can't believe the amount of detail and insane worksmanship you're putting into this Gen 1 Silverado SWB. UNBELIEVABLE. But I like it. And I would buy anything you've worked on. One of the best car channels on UA-cam. 😉👍🏻

    As someone whose former position was ruining the resale value of hundreds of vehicles (I built cop cars for a living), The best trick I had for not giving the sheetmetal extra nipples when drilling through a panel was to drop a deep well socket over the bit. Depending on the size of the bit in question, it'll still give you 1/2-1" drill depth, but a zero percent chance of introducing the bit to the outer panel at a high rate of speed.

    A true proffessional at work. Fun to see some one actually doing a repair the correct way, instead of taking the shortcuts that are far to common in this line of work. You, Sir, are an expert!

    As someone who is in the business, you continue to impress me with your skills and quality workmanship.

    My OCD loves the calm attention to detail you give each project. But it was also very bothered by the "FLAMABLE SLOVENTS" sign at

    This is work I will never be able to do. I always tell myself not to watch these videos because they take so much time, but they are so interesting I can't help it.

    Impressive jigsaw puzzle you have there, Scott. Amazing strategy for using the corner pieces. 😀

    I remember doing heaps of these types of repairs in the 90,s I miss doing them now. But I sure enjoy your videos keep up the great work. ✌

    You are as much of a restorer as a rebuilder , love seeing this Chevy getting back in service rather than a scrap yard . Great build as always Scott .
