      I hope they also contacted the state DMV where that 82 year old is licensed. In most states, senior drivers who are 70 or older typically get heightened scrutiny and more frequent examination. If their ability to operate a motor vehicle is noticeably impaired, they are supposed to have their license surrendered.

    Great job, as usual. Watching you maneuver the rear floor and side pans back into shape was interesting, and from limited personal experience, much more difficult than how you made it appear. Takes skill to get metal back to where it once was, and needs to be. Have you ever tried your hand a paintless dent repair? Watching your metal working skills I have to believe you'd be very successful at it.

    I like the way this was done, replacing the entire panel.
    The last time I did something this involved was on a Hitachi 100 excavator.
    Some idiot hit the cab with a bucket, and bent up the right (machine side) A pillar.
    What I DIDN’T know was that there were 3 layers of formed sheet metal in there!!!
    I drilled all of the spot welds out, then stretched and banged for a couple days to get it all straight.
    Since it was in a level floor, and I had to make it perfectly straight for the windshield retract channel, I used a plumb bob while standing in front of the cab to check for straightness.
    When I was satisfied with the edge, I clamped it and ran the window up and down several times.
    The boss was more than satisfied with the results!
    Simply welding the spot weld holes from either side did the trick for the reassembly.
    A light coat of final steel body filler was all it needed, I was that close with the metal!
    We did a whole lot of work to the rest of the machine, and stripped really large sections of paint to make it perfect, and even better than off the line!
    A few days later, the machine was placed into service.
    Two days after that, on the job, it sustained a deep scratch on the tail weight!
    The boss was the operator, and he was not happy.
    I told him not to worry, it’s a badge of the highest honor.
    Wait, WHAT???
    Yes, it tells the contractor that hired us that this guy was not afraid to take a bit of damage to get the job done without compromise.
    We worked for that contractor for better than a decade after that, because he knew we would DELIVER!

Amazing how much quality was built into that thing. My friends were working at Chevy dealers and had no clue what the hell a Toyota was or how to repair it.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this build. Can you explain how you know when you need to do stress release on panel repair and when you don’t? By the way, I thought your use of cardboard as masking for spraying primer was brilliant. I look at all the time you saved applying tape & masking paper everywhere, it’s a win-win. Thanks again for the continued progress videos. Also anything you post is timely. No one knows your schedule better than you do. Have a great weekend Scott!

    Glad to see you wearing earmuffs and safety glasses while grinding. Jello-infused play-doh-nium! Too funny!!! Scott, you just do your work the way you do it and we'll watch!
    You teach me something new almost every video! My brother and sis in law might want to buy this one!

    I’m not in body repair business but like learning from what seems to a very skilled and ethical person. My son a I are wanting to start working on our 1975 K10. It’s going to need patch panels and I don’t have the experience. I keep watching Scott, but would you agree that lacking experience is too much to overcome.
    Anyway, really enjoy watching a pro work!!

    Sad to see that this Hybrid was salvaged, but based on all the time lost in repairs and waiting for parts I understand.

    Mustang! I don’t see a Mustang! Apparently I don’t listen…that’s what my wife says…I think that’s what she said anyways. 😆
    Scott you keep doing what you do. I’ll watch regardless of what you’re fixing/repairing.
    Have a great and safe Memorial weekend!

    You had to bring up the Mustang. I had just forgotten about it and you had to bring it up just to remind me you weren’t working on it. At least in the mean time you are making sure every Terrain, Enclave/Acadia, and Sierra gets a new lease on life.

    You did a great job of rebuilding this vehicle. As for waiting three months for a tailgate door I get that. I had bought a new Lexus RX450h and not even a month later someone rear ended me and totally punched big holes in the rear lift-gate door. It took four months to get a new one from the factory since they had not actually manufactured extra parts for repairs since they were still building the new line of cars. I was not happy but I could still drive it and since it was new it was hard for them to total a 60K vehicle. Still once they did get the door and got it into the shop to repair it when it came back out you would not know it had been crunched or replaced.

    I have a 2013 RAV4, I like the lift struts on it better than the newer RAV's, I bet those newer struts cost s fortune when they go up. This job your doing is looking good, I wouldn't mind purchasing a salvaged car that you worked on.

    The problem with the state where I live is that this build would carry a prior-salvage title, killing the resale. That is unfortunate as this excellent repair makes it as good as new. There is no reason for the car to carry a scarlet letter.
