The engine is already going back in the cheap Grand Am, but will it run? part 4
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The painting gnomes edged out the frame rails we welded on last time so now it is time to swap over the subframe and get the drivetrain back in the Grand Am. While we are here, we will throw some new brake lines on it that do not have the standard Illinois rust. If you missed the previous videos of this series, see them here:

The way I see the cheaper builds is not everyone can afford a $20,000 vehicle. I think Scott does a great job of making a affordable car for people that can only afford x amount on a vehicle. Some may see this as a waste but this will make someone a great car whether this is someones first car or a affordable second car. I wish there was someone like Scott 37 years ago when I was looking for my first car.

I can honestly say watching you take this car apart and putting it back together has been one of my favorite videos yet. Great job.

If anyone can take credit for keeping a certain segment of the automotive world alive it's you and the Grand Am. Well done Sir! I've enjoyed every rescue. And I've started to notice tore up Grand Ams around town... Not bad little cars.
You really put quality in every build. Whether it's a $80,000 or a $800 car, you do s great job saving these cars for the road.
4:11 Nice detail from the painting gnome, he even painted the screws to match the engine bay. Great job as always.
28:20 damn, what a gun show
Scott, why would anyone object to what you rebuild. I am always impressed with the quality of the work, the wry sense of humor and the pizza girl's rare appearances. Keep up the good work and keep Friday's interesting.

It aint the weekend without a Vechor video!
Cheers for the Friday night entertainment Scott and Pizza girl with voice 👍🏻🏴
A man who runs out of ratchet straps cannot really call himself a man! I really am enjoying watching you waste your time saving this old Pontiac. Watching you reinstall that rusty junction box bracket onto that freshly painted inner fender well was sooo satisfying! I could hear the clean freaks wailing all the way over here! I do miss the Pontiac brand though, after all they DID build excitement!
I wouldn't care what the negative people have to say. As long as you can turn a profit fixing these Grand Am's, there is nothing wrong with that. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
It's not a waste of time if you enjoy watching it And learning You're doing just fine.
Fascinating. Your videos are never a waste of time. Thank you everyone for sharing 😊
Great job. Pizza lady was a great help.
The PIZZA GIRL was the best part...as always. You have good taste.
That junction box bracket is setting my ocd off, a wire brush and some paint man 😂😂😂

Keep it up Scott. I love your videos and they remind me of when I had to work for a living too --- 57 years worth. Keep paying into my Social Security though --- but we can eliminate the middleman and you can just send me the checks directly. Nice to know your wife can talk --- or that you let her talk this time. You're a quality dude -- keep it up.
So is the pizza delivery girl also your enforcer if the paint gnomes give you any flack? 🤣🤣
I really enjoy your videos. I just bought my wife a new Traverse and the first thing I did was go to your Amazon page and ordered several cans of the cavity wax and sealed up everything I could on the car. I also live in the land of corruption and rust!! Thanks for all the tips and great videos!!
I know you have a lot of rebuilds under your belt and are a mechanic but do you have a reminder list of all the things you need to do to get the car back together and working? There was so much to do all over the place. This is a great build. thanks Scott. Never boring build fridays.

If you look through his previous videos he actually has a video about that on how he labels fasteners store panels etc.
Very interesting video. Nice balance of knowledge from Scott, assistance from Gnome, and of course, appearance by Pizza Girl. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
You go girl. Looks like you can push him around if he needs it. Lol. Enjoy your info. 👍
Scott that pizza lady looks good.
You should pop down under and have a crack at sorting out one of our woeful Holdens! Great work as always, Scott, and kudos to Pizza Girl for her first speaking role.
I really enjoy these videos of you working on older model cars, very nostalgic but I do have one complaint this time, I wish you would've painted the bracket that holds the junction/fuse box, the engine bay looks soo nice painted and clean and that rusty bracket looks horrible, other then that, great videos, can't wait for the next one
Note to self....never make the Pizza Girl mad....she looks seriously strong ! Thanks for the video...amazing to watch you work.
Great show as always! I never cease to be amazed at your gift. You truly are gifted. The jack of all gnomes is branching out too. So nice to have the Pizza Close the show. She did a super job. See you when you publish your next installment.
Great work Scott, you've obviously done loads of these but you sure make it look easy. The quality of your repairs and the attention to detail is what makes your channel such compulsive viewing. Oh and the sarcasm! Have a good weekend, best wishes to you the pizza girl and the painting gnome from the UK 🇬🇧
“…not connected to the starter… and I have no idea why… uh… other than, somebody’s been here before…” That made me 🤣 a little

When I was in high school these cars were new and always wanted a Grand Am Gt I ended up with an Se but they were great cars they drive really nice and they are powerful, today I feel like buying one just because I see that you fix them and leave them like nothing happened I think there is still hope, just change all engine gaskets and those things will drive another 100k miles!
HOLY CRAP, that's one heck of a set of guns on that girl. I think they're bigger than yours, Scott! You might wanna be more careful about calling her "pizza girl", LOL!
Pre rusted sub frame just how we like it
I LOVE the Pizza Girl !!!! That is one strong Woman !!!
Whoa.. the spoken word and a Gun Show !!

I can see the TIRE TOSSING has paid dividends. Much love, Reverend Joey
Do you ever have to return parts to Scott's Parts Emporium for warranty replacement? ; ) I still cringe seeing northern IL rust and shouldn't after decades of dealing with it. Enjoying the rebuild as always.
Great video Scott…excellent build, the Pizza Girl spoke to us, AND from that pinned comment, you’ve been able to refill your hater’s tears 😭 🤣.
I love how you have used a 1 day build into 4 plus videos… excellent use of time to me
I think I need rust OCD pheraphy after seeing that bracket fitted. You can't even see it, but you know it there....! We used to have Lanica cars in the UK but then it rained 🌧 Great project 👍
It is just wonderful to see a loving pair like you both shared the same interests in doing Restoration Projects as hobby which turn into a Business entity.......Well done my friend.....Greeting from South East Asia......!
I bet they ran a bigger wire from the alternator to the starter and removed both before selling the car (common practice with high power stereo, part of the Big 3 upgrade)
I couldn't wait until today to watch the new video on the grand am. I'm glad the hatters are mad & making alot of tears,the bucket is getting full fast..lmao
Creat job scott! I love it when you make parts fit back together! Rich
Awesome show
I respect the N body emporium you have assembled. My emporium was A body Oldsmobiles. Once you tear apart 3 or 4 and pass the "learning curve" it no more trouble than mowing the lawn.

A slick way to do the brake lines! I would have struggled to do them one at a time.
I want to buy it when it is complete. This car is going to be a great daily driver. I know I said the same thing on the last video but it's true.
