JUST LOVE to see and HEAR you do it! And, you did over a day's work in this one and ALONE! You are why they are called "BODYMAN" not MEN! With NO BS, you are a "class act", Scott! Thank you!
Finally some rusty bolt action that is like my experience working on Illinois cars. This rust free stuff was looking way too easy. It isn't really work unless you have to struggle just to get the bolt or nut out of your socket. :)
Love your humor, these go bad, even when they dont get hit by another car. I think its safe to say, there is none other like you on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
Scott.. I look forward to Friday each week. Around 1500 I look for your video. Your work is second to none. The guy narrating is quite humorous too! Thanks a ton for taking the time each week. I appericiate all you do. Stay safe and be well!
Really love your videos - specifically your sense of humour, sarcasm and lack of wokeness! And you repair cars. What a great way to spend a Friday evening! Thanks Scott. Greetings from Johannesburg, South Africa
Most of the mechanics I know have the same sense of humor. You have to or you would go crazy trying to work on cars with the things engineers dream up. 😂
Scott does USA spec repairs. Have a look at the channel Arthur Tussic , for Eastern European spec repairs. AT does excellent work however the YT experts panic when they see some of the straightening he does. Realistically, even if the cars he fixes doesn't preform in a crash like factory , they are still far better than crashing in a Trabant. See the channel Aging Wheels for a non crashed Trabant.
Friday is my favorite day as well. I could binge watch all day lol. Regardless of what the haters say Scott, there are some of us that really appreciate the work you do.
As someone who does this kind of work daily. I find your humor fun. Because being able to do it or using what you have at hand vs what someone who might think they know what’s going on can be very different. I’ve never seen anyone use the original car o liner measuring stuff. I’ve only ever used the computer version with the trolley myself.
@@vehcor when I did the training they showed us how the original spec sheets worked and said lots of shop still use them and they wouldn’t stop making them. Also they are available on the computer system for review if need.
Now that’s how u pull a car 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽taking ur time to make sure everything fits properly…for all intended purpose of doing RIGHT like it should be 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
A "Tip" for when you break into a brake system - bin the caps, jam a bit of wood/proper brake depressor onto the brake pedal - once it is half/a bit more than half depressed, no more fluid will leak from any open line-joint. Saves a lot of drippage/mucking about/bleeding.
This was a lot of fun to watch, i still don’t know WHY you do it but i appreciate the information (not that i would ever want to use it, but it is strangely fascinating) thanks!
Honestly, I do it because it makes the cars easy to sell when the buyer can see everything that was done. If I can teach someone else or entertain someone, those are bonuses.
@@vehcor By the way, to anyone telling you how to do your job or saying you aren't using a tool correctly. Why don't THEY make their own video and kindly demonstrate if they're so brilliant?
Thought this was a scam video 'cause I heard "You know I'm all about safety". I screamed and went limp for a moment, but my sarcasm detector went off and I was safe again. Thanks !
You do excellent work. I’ve also learned a tremendous amount. Also, I’m born and raised in the west suburbs of Chicago . Lived in lake county ( Mundelein area ) for 30 years 👍
I really look forward to your videos great content I did collision repair for 35 years and I'm old school like you I love the die grinder for separating spot welds and yes my favorite tool was the air hammer
Well used to rust here in the uk, our roads are salted from October to March 😂😂 I find Gorilla tape much better for holding on panels and anything structural.
These videos would not be near as entertaining without your comments...Love it. Plus it is always educational to see a professional work and explain what he is doing and why.
The dealer tech apparently keeps our wheel lock key for us on his work bench in a box of about two dozen assorted wheel lock keys he has forgotten to put back in peoples cars. I had the key attached to the lug wrench with a long cord. There was no reason to ever remove it. But removed it was. I have great restraint. He is still alive.

You're such a wise ass it makes the channel funny as hell how you picking on the experts but winning all in all truth is we don't have the money that the experts have right for all these fancy tools fancy I wear but damn you do good work without all the fancy stuff so great job buddy and looking forward to warrior videos so keep up the good work and keep up the wise Craig that makes the channel worth watching
😀It must be very satisfying to think back about all of them and know that you fixed all those cars/trucks/SUVs and that most of them are still on the road? And I guess you earned a few $$$ back selling them. Hm... you got me wanting to get a V8 before I "kick the bucket". A fixed up newer Chevy SS or a Pontiac G8 GT/GPX (without active Displacement On Demand) would be nice. But at the same time the fuel/gas prices are crazy expensive over here now, and the price will only go up as time goes. The big trucks you have fixed also look very nice. But I kind of like wagons (we have 2, 5 cyl. Volvo "wagons", an old crappy V70 gas-powered and a newer XC 70 AWD with "serial turbos" diesel which is still rather nice) but I guess the Australian Holden wagons (som have V8s) are all Right Hand Drive. Some crashed UTEs have been imported to the US and rebuilt using crashed LHD G8s or SS cars to make them into LHD UTEs/small trucks. Those were "teased" but newer imported to the US as new cars. I guess I can import an older Corvette or Camaro V8 from Germany but they wount be exactly cheap either. I've seen some new C8 Corvettes for sale over here which start at more than $110000... Keep up the good work!
@@vehcor When you post your video at 2:00 PM on Friday afternoon, it's 5:00 AM on Saturday morning here in Queensland Australia at the moment and 6:00 AM when you go onto daylight saving in November. We are usually up early, so it's a convenient time for me to watch your videos. We don't have daylight saving here in Queensland, but other states in Australia have it.
when I was a kid in shop, they showed us a film on how to use tools properly. It had a cartoon character called Primitive Pete who always abused his tools, he looked sort of like Fred Flinstone. .Watching you a paint scraper to break spot welds, I think they should start calling you Primitive Pete.
Hi at Velcro. I was seriously concerned at the moment of ram failure. I feared that the haters tears bottle exploded due to excessive tears. I was relieved to find out it was the ram itself. You have to put disclaimers on your videos you were close to causing me a heart attack. Loved the video and the channel please keep them coming.
you make it look so easy... only several 10's of thousands of dollars in tools and years of experience to pull the sheet metal and hit it with a hammer in just the right way that if falls perfectly in line.
Scott, absolutely fascinating. I still don’t fully understand the time taken to do all the pulling before cutting. I guess it’s so you have less to remove as it is partially aligned? I appreciate your channel, skills, and explanations. Sorry the >$10k price of the pickup was beyond my son’s budget. Not saying it isn’t worth that.
As the California driver of a low milage, garage kept Lexus, I find your work quite disturbing...yet strangely fascinating. That rust however, is nightmare fuel, it belongs in the same category as black mold.
There’s a Blue-Green metallic Pontiac g3 at a Copart auction in Chicago. Or at least there was, until Copart’s website decided to shit itself. Maybe that could become a future video series? It’s not as cool or fast as a g8 but it’s still a pretty good looking car.
I like the way you talk to dummies. You do great work.
Hey…. We call them “experts” around here. We don’t want to hurt their feelings and it gives them a feeling of validation. 😂
Scoot is an artist and the blunt honest raw humor is awesome.
Many people these days can’t handle my humor. 🤷🏼♂️
@@vehcor Or the spelling of your name...!! 🤣
Friday afternoon and a new Vehcor video. Life is good
Great progress Scott! I am looking forward to seeing the rail, tail panel & quarter panel go back on! Thanks for posting!
"Pet it to let it know we mean it no harm"
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Man I love this channel!
👍🏻😂
JUST LOVE to see and HEAR you do it! And, you did over a day's work in this one and ALONE! You are why they are called "BODYMAN" not MEN! With NO BS, you are a "class act", Scott! Thank you!

This rust free stuff was looking way too easy. It isn't really work unless you have to struggle just to get the bolt or nut out of your socket. :)
I struggle all day at work. I drive all that way so I can have relaxing weekends with rust free parts. It’s like heaven! 😂
Isn't "UA-cam experts" a contradiction?
Thanks Scott, this is very informative and as ever I love the humour.
It is really an oxymoron but it makes them feel better when I give them that title. 😂
I always find the pulls fascinating and watching everything slowly move back to close to where it was.
I always enjoy watching a professional do this type of work.
Me too! Do you know where I can find one? 😂
Love your humor, these go bad, even when they dont get hit by another car. I think its safe to say, there is none other like you on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
You went through all that trouble pulling the rear end only to end up cutting most of it. Brilliant. Keep up the self-deprecating humor. HILARIOUS.
Scott.. I look forward to Friday each week. Around 1500 I look for your video. Your work is second to none. The guy narrating is quite humorous too! Thanks a ton for taking the time each week. I appericiate all you do. Stay safe and be well!

@@vehcor I agree 100% here! I'm a mechanic and I approve this message!
Lack of wokeness? You make me sad. You probably make your parents sad too, they wish you'd move out of the basement.
Amazing quality work Scott! Well done. Best builds on the Tube!!!!!

Yeah, agree! That amazing ironic sense of humour never gets old.... ;)
@@mikaeljonsson4686 ITS CALLED BEING snarKY and self depricating humor great attitudes and he makes it one jigsaw puzzle to put back together
Now this Friday gets even better.!
👍🏻
I’m not a visionary, but I see cavity wax in this car’s future! 😂
Great video and have a great weekend Scott!
What is this cavity wax you speak of? Do you get it from your dentist? 😂
@@vehcor It is like Toe Jam but not organic. . .
😂😂
only the best for this one: sheep wool grease aka lanoline grease (fluid film)
He could go old-school and use cosmoline... =)
I'm totally impressed what was accomplished with the frame puller and a hammer. A few gallons of Bondo is all that's really needed...
Friday is my favorite day as well. I could binge watch all day lol. Regardless of what the haters say Scott, there are some of us that really appreciate the work you do.
Once again, I really enjoyed this video. The metal pulling and stress relieving is impressive. Thanks.
Great work, Scott! Thanks for all the hard work and videos you provide for all of us car nuts. Have a great weekend!

Entertaining as always! Thanks Scott!

25:40 not right now, but I was pulling some armored cable this morning and my hand slipped off the end and got a nice little cut thank you for axin! 🙂

Love this build.
Thanks
I truly injoy watching Scotts magic excellent work i miss the body shop days
Good stuff thanks for the video.
9:37 The ram just needed a pee break.
It did, perhaps it also needs a diaper! 😂
This is one of the best you've done in a long while.
I don't know which hammer you should use, but I'm glad you put on a clean t-shirt. 😉
In my 40 years of bodywork I always found the best hammer to use is the one you have in your hand...🙂
Great video Scott 👍 👍
As always - Great video content. Looking forward to the next one.
As always, very interesting!
Scott, you mention only now needing only 4 gals. of bondo. Did you forget about the duct tape layer???
Duct tape is for hacks. I use flex tape for an OEM quality repair! 😂
Great work man. As a lifelong Chicago area resident that rust doesn’t make a bat an eye 😂😂
