- This video was a month in the making. We got the rail straight but at what cost? Now that everything is straight and measured we can start cutting off the parts we a re going to replace.

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...!! 🤣
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. 😂
@@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.
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.
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. 😂
"Pet it to let it know we mean it no harm"
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Man I love this channel!
👍🏻😂
I always find the pulls fascinating and watching everything slowly move back to close to where it was.
Great progress Scott! I am looking forward to seeing the rail, tail panel & quarter panel go back on! Thanks for posting!
I always enjoy watching a professional do this type of work.
Me too! Do you know where I can find one? 😂
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. :)
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 "CZcams 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. 😂
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!
Thanks for the support! I’ll let the narrator know he is doing a good job! 😂
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... =)
Amazing quality work Scott! Well done. Best builds on the Tube!!!!!
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.
Thanks!
Now this Friday gets even better.!
👍🏻
you never disappoint Scott , I cant get enough of your videos , thank you
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
Friday afternoon and a new Vehcor video. Life is good
Once again, I really enjoyed this video. The metal pulling and stress relieving is impressive. Thanks.
One of the first things I was taught as a new claims adjuster was to allow for "rough pull time" on my estimates. You don't just slap new parts on a vehicle to repair it. You need to deconstruct the accident damage by taking it out the same way it occurred. Any dorks questioning why you are pulling parts that are just going to be replaced are just that, dorks.
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.
said " 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. "
He likely wanted to se an impact wrench for removal / install and found that the attached lug wrench flew across the shop. ( Using an impact in the key isn't the best idea as it can cause the key to break )
I can't believe you haven't finished the Mustang build yet !!!😆
Just kidding, love your channel !!!
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 !
I follow safety procedures like I follow torque specs! 😂
9:37 The ram just needed a pee break.
It did, perhaps it also needs a diaper! 😂
Great work, Scott! Thanks for all the hard work and videos you provide for all of us car nuts. Have a great weekend!
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.
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.
I just come here for the PPE and safety lessons😁🤘
You came to the right place! 😂
Love your line of running comments.
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.
Flex tape is the best for a permanent OEM repair! 😂
Good going Scott.
Thanks
@@vehcor No thanks to you ! I love Fridays because of your videos . I learn some things and laugh at your sarcasm .
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 CZcams. Keep up the good work.
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!
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 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Looking good. I like your no nonsense approach.
Great video Scott. Great work... amazing!
Thanks!
Love 💕💕 the dry humor 😂👍‼️‼️‼️
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...
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! 😂
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
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.
They still make all the data sheets to use this alignment system with current models. It works, so I use what I have.
@@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.
always look forward to rebuild Friday....great video as usual....
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,accomplished a lot on this video,keep it up and can’t wait till next video.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks, we are half way through the hard part!
Great video. Listening to a real expert instead of an internet one is a real pleasure. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
You do truly great work brother. Always learning something in every video.
Thanks, glad to share some of my experiences.
@@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?
24:20 wtf? Did you win the lottery or something? that looks like...a...a....brand new grinding wheel! Someone's rolling in the dough!!!
My inheritance! 😂
@@vehcor ah that explains it! Next thing we'll be seeing you with new SOCKS!

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 👍
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.
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! 🙂
Perhaps you need some bi*ch mittens for your soft hands! 😂
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
Entertaining as always! Thanks Scott!
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.
Do the majority of good body shops do this kind of prep work before replacing the panels? Or is independent guys like yourself who take pride in doing the job right? Time is money, and I don't see a body shop going through all that trouble before replacing the parts. BTW, you're commitment to doing it right is commendable.
There is definitely a Russian in the Sacramento area watching this learning how to put a Lexus back together right now
Scott you make my weekend a joy with your humour. Cheers Michael
The highlight of my Fridays. Thanks Scott.
I truly injoy watching Scotts magic excellent work i miss the body shop days
Beating on a SNAP ON socket is NOT tool abuse if you're using a SNAP ON hammer
Or ratchet or wrench… 😂
Greetings from Queensland Australia.
You are probably one of the furthest viewers, yet always early. Maybe because you are a day ahead! 😂
@@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.
Can't wait to see this build finished interesting seeing how todays cars r put together and taken apart nice job on the dismantling 😎👍👍
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.
Love this build.
Thanks
Good stuff thanks for the video.
In My country we say (bardzo dobra robota)" very good job "greetings from Iceland 🇮🇸 from polish 🇵🇱people this content its the best 👌
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.
Great work man. As a lifelong Chicago area resident that rust doesn’t make a bat an eye 😂😂
😀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!
Should've just clipped it so we could watch millions of heads pop off!😄
New cars are not as friendly to clip as the old ones. One day I will clip one more Grand Am just to watch people’s heads explode! 😂
Sawzall = the most appropriately (and accurately) named tool in existence.
Every tool has a hammer side.
Classic Scott's emporium humour "radio amp, these things go bad even when they're not hit by another car"
High failure rate, maybe hitting them with a car is the fix. 😂 🤷🏼♂️
@@vehcor lol
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.
Great video Scott thanks again 👍🏻🏴
Keep up the great videos
Thanks!
I have an old Carolina from1985 mechanical measuring too. Still works good but cars have gotten wider through the years
Great video Scott 👍 👍
Thanks !
Another great post, can't wait until next Friday
Coming along, it pulled pretty good. Fitting song at the end , Tom Mcdonald......
This is one of the best you've done in a long while.
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.
A good thing about today’s cars is that if they are rear-ended the only part you do not need to change is the front bumper and that will save you some money for sure. Maybe 😂
Your patience dealing with tools that do not obey your needs, metal that someone reshaped the wrong way, and the trials of life is relaxing and hugely satisfying to watch, it calms me down when my day is going less than well. Clearly a person with respect for the work you do, with an understanding of the vital needs of repair work. Watching each episode is a great way to spend some unwinding time.
Looks like you got that left quarter down to a gallon or less of mud. Saved, send.
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.
good video
Thanks
Auto Repair Magician!!! 🙂
As always, very interesting!
Substantial amount of work but should be a nice car when finished 👍
Love your work…. You are a real mechanic😅 the best!
Lexus, the relentless pursuit of...oh wait a minute, somebody's been in here before...
Relentless pursuit of dumb places the put electrical connectors. Wait, that is any Toyota product. 😂
Wrong body hammer son😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u doing a fantastic job ..
Ooh la la... Mr moneybags with his fancy new saw blade.
No bleeding hands , but my palms feeling a little funny !
Look at the bright side, you don't have deal with the AWD system in the front :lol:. I own a GS 350, those rear calipers can lock up hard and permanent :lol:
Looking great. Nice car.
Thanks!
Nothing like taking a shot in the rear end.
WOW ! you gave it to the tool experts.... lol
I spun the wheel of trolling and they came up. 😂
@@vehcor Remind me to never get my name on that wheel .... lol
Dang. The haters must have really been on it in the last video. Scott just shitting on them every chance he could in this one. LOL. Good show sir.
I like whating your video of pulling car to get where you need it to go keep it up
