Hi! I'm a body and paint gnome. I'm 86, done this all my life still own and operate here in Wyoming. I'm currently fixing a 2010 Ford Taurus front collision. I enjoy your videos a lot. You do the best job!

I would normally never buy a vehicle with a salvage title. However, after watching the way you fix them I would definitely buy from you. Unfortunately I live in the Seattle area. You deserve all the money you make. I’m a mechanical engineer and I have to say that you impress me with your knowledge as well as your concern for your customer. The world is definitely a better place with guys like you. Best wishes for the new year!

Knowledge like what tools to use, and where to look for parts, and skills such as how to use tape as a third hand. There were a few little snags, but nothing I couldn’t overcome.

Nice video. Like how you working in very calm and smily way. Great!

Another neat trick, using your winch as a frame machine. I was wondering why you had to get the aircon guy in to do the aircon, when you normally do them yourself. Some new gas that you don't have the gear for? Some years ago, a mate came to me with his 6 cylinder car running on 5 cylinders. We diagnosed the issue to be that a screw had fallen out of the carburettor and jammed one of the inlet valves open. We managed to open the valve further and drop the screw onto the top of the piston and retrieve it through the spark plug hole with a magnetic stick. Amazingly, it didn't bend the valve and this old Holden didn't have interference valve timing, so the only repair necessary was to put the screw back in the carburettor PROPERLY. Hope you get a used front for your repair, so you shouldn't have to buy many extra parts and we can see this Denali back on the road again soon. All the best from Queensland Australia.
