Repairing a failed rebuild and a second accident at the same time on this GMC Terrain
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It is time to start replacing the parts the first rebuilder should have when they did this job for the first time. The picture at the end is the damage from the first accident but still would have required the same parts to do the job correctly. While straightening some small buckles in the floor is allowed, hammering out the dog leg and wheel house is not acceptable. If you require that much body filler to hide your work, you should probably let a professional do it. We will also make this Terrain one of those fancy ones with all the options like brakes and four wheels. Moving it around from here on should be a breeze!

Hey I know you, your videos are just as good as these guys.
I guess I'm an old guy now, used to do this kind of work in my early 20s, and watching this reminds me why I stopped doing rebuilders :) That and at the time wrecking yards were charging so much for them you could just buy "rode hard put away wet" used on with no body damage, wasn't worth it. It was before the internet and the big auction yards were around and buying from insurance auction yards you needed a dealer's license and a 40,000 bond of some sort. That and the introduction of the" re-branded title" was an instant price reduction.

Oh man I just discovered this channel thanks to the power of the youtube algorithm. KZread suggested the prior Terrain video and the mix of commentary and nitty gritty detail work kept me watching. I do wish you had shown more of the welding :( The comment at 18:40 about Illinois is hilarious because I had that exact thought mere seconds before you said it. I've lived in Illinois most of my life and the rust struggle is real. Texas on the other hand has been amazing for my car.

Everything you do and show us is very interesting to me so watching you work the parts and fit them is a true joy and very gratifying . Thanks for the level of quality you insist on and maintain. I have been an electrician for years and like you my best work has been covered up by structure and finishing such as sheet rock. I'm OK with that because I know it was right to start with and will stay that way. I sleep well, and I am sure you do too! Thanks!
I have to say, if everyone did the job the way you did, maybe people would not be as afraid of buying a vehicle that has been in an accident. My hats off to you sir as this was another awesome video!

Much respect . Most people cant appreciate just how complex cars can be and how much goes into knowing how it goes back together. Ive done a couple of cab rebuilds on Chinese made earth moving gear which may be where the former repairer of the gmc learnt their ahem craft. Shit welds and bog fixes all sin. I hope you make a profit from this work. having done some door repairs on a camry I agree the crap sheet of plastic and mastic isnt great. Cheers.
I like seeing all the different layers and how you can sandwich a new piece on top. Takes great skill to line it up right.
Nice to you finally put the afternoon crew on a pedestal
this is interesting as we LAY people don't see vehicles as built , just cut the damaged stuff off and glue the new stuff on ...ya sure. Looks more like a puzzle the way you do it, easy pizzy, Love the way you fix these cars , only 100 hours and i roll of duck tape , and paint to match. Great job. You do , do a great repair job.

Exhaustively thorough, not as an insult either. With the work expended rebuilding the rebuild, how isn't this totalled? Very informative presentation.
Scott, I have very much enjoyed your videos, your builds, and your attention to detail. Not to mention your sense of humor! I fix cars for a living too, but I stick to the mechanical stuff, if I tried something like this, it would end very very badly! My dent repair skills end with a suction cup......or in my case, the toilet plunger. But give me an electrical concern, and I am all over it! Boring Build Friday is amongst my favorites, because these are cars I also work on! When you take them apart, I get to see areas of the same cars I fix that I would never normally see, and sometimes, it gives me insight on how I can do my job better.
