- We are back to working on the 2017 GMC Terrain SLE AWD that should never have been a total loss. The biggest part of this build is the dog leg repair and we will knock this out in a couple hours then we can get the rest of the car ready for the painting gnomes. If you missed the previous video on this vehicle, see it here: • This GMC Terrain shoul...

You do excellent work. You should shorten your narrative and avoid sarcastic comments
So I should be someone I am not? Nah, I’m good. You can change the channel.
@@vehcor lol I'm struggling to understand if his post was 'sarcasm' itself. Btw love your channel and content vehcor. 😁
@@vehcor Folks who do NOT have the money, tools, reputation, and/or skills like u do, have the most unsolicited advices. *SMH*
@@vehcor i love your narrative and sarcastic comments' 😁😎
@@99Vood99 🤣
You always impress me with the extend that you go with your repairs. Honestly there are very few that would go to that extent to repair that damage. They would pull or hammer things out close and then bondo the rest and call it a day. With you it ends up as good as new, maybe even better. It is no wonder that you vehicles are sometimes sold before you even have the repair finished. 👍💯
Thanks, if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right!
Y'all dont be deceived , He is so skilled , he makes the job appear so easy!!!!
This is an easy one though!
I love the longer videos please don’t shorten them. And don’t shorten the sarcasm. Lots of learning is good. And sarcasm is absolutely required.
I was able to use some of the straightening and stress relieving techniques you taught me to straighten the fender and top step on my tractor. Someone hit a stump 🤷🏻. You can teach an old dog new tricks
Definitely a lot of work removing parts for painting. A lot of people would just mask things, which makes it obvious that a repair was done. With doing it properly like you do, it looks OEM. Looking forward to your next video. All the best from Queensland Australia.
I've been doing estimating, and it's amazing how much labor is involved in R&I (remove and re-install) and setting back things (wiring, carpeting, etc.) I just wrote a $7800+ estimate on an Equinox that took a B-pillar hit right above the rocker. Just over half the job is labor. We're replacing both doors, the pillar, and about 3/4 of the uniside (from mid-front door to the tail lights, sectioned through the rearmost side window and below the roof on the pillar). That uniside alone is booked at 22.5 hours. Each door gets about 5 in labor for parts swapping, hanging, and alignment, and another 2.5 each for paint. Then we drop the rear bumper, both taillights, remove all the inside trim on that side, the driver's seat, the left side (60%) rear seat, airbags, drop the headliner...
I'm also expecting damage to the inner rocker, but I can't write that damage until we open it up and verify it. Either way, it's not a total. The car has only 1,286 miles on it.
One of the reasons I watch your videos is getting to watch your skilled workmanship. I learn a lot and live vicariously. I'm hoping the music and time-lapse was not serious and won't be around much.
Fastest 26 minutes of my day - your videos. Testament to how much you cover in such a short time. Well done. This Terrain will come out like the last one - looking great and be reliable transportation for someone. Looking forward to next Friday's completion.
The timelapse really helped fitting it in 26 minutes!
I thought this was an Auto Body and Auto Mechanic Works Channel you do some of the best work I have seen watching you for almost 2 years now forget the music and by the this is your channel you do and say whatever you want much success to you keep up the great work
"SARCASM? I don' hear no stinkin' sarcasm! I hear love of what I do!" 😂 Thanks Scott,always a treat! Rich
I've been a mechanic and DIYer all my life(also known as poor), I'm not sure if you know how much you teach and help. I'm here to tell ya the tricks, tips, tools ETC... is priceless. Thanks. Oh and I LOVE the sarcasm!!!!!
You really do an excellent job of hiding your trail and others that have passed through previously,thanks for another great video🤗😎🤗😎
I always eagerky look forward to each new episode and have grown to appreciate your droll sense of humour. Your presentation is not only informative, but greatly enjoyable. Please don't listen to the nay-sayers. Remember: the definition of a drama-critic is one who cannot write, direct nor act in a play. Keep up the good work!
Well at least you got a workout manually repairing the frame! Always like your integrity!! Keep it up!
Everyday is arm day if you are too lazy to use the frame rack. 😂
I love the sarcastic remarks folks make it gives him free ammo. This is one of my favorite channels
You do excellent work. Please lengthen your narrative and add more sarcastic comments.
Well done as always, thank you.
That donor car montage was majestic.
Nobody could ever accuse you of cutting corners! Always a very thorough job! Great work Scott!
The Best quality auto body repair on the Tube/or planet! Scott cuts no corners to Quality down to the finest details. Very Talented and always demonstrates doing it the right way. Keep up the Great work Scott!
My first car i ever bought had bondo on the plastic bumper and after a few years the bondo all started cracking and falling off, i hate bondo, love watching how you repair cars, i am trying to fix mine up now again as i blew it up
I listen to these while at work driving, best part are the love taps at the sheet metal.
The king of dry humor! I love the comments you make.
SARCASM? I don't hear no stinkin' Sarcasm-I hear love of what I do. Thanks Scott-always a treat! Rich
Watching the past few years I never thought you could cease to amaze me.. then there was music..lmfao. Scott you made my day! Been my wifes nurse all week. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend!
Hope she feels better soon!!
@@lawrencewheeler8868 thank you very much
I'm just a mechanic so I'm not reading a body man. But I'll bet you a lot of people just fix that outer skin straighten it and oh it's fine now!! That's not your way to fix stuff!! Super great Job!!!!!
All the best from Canada
Aren't you going to introduce us to your new body gnome Manuel Labor? Just kidding. Ignore the trolls trying to tell you to shorten the narrative by omitting the sarcastic comments. Screw that. The sarcastic comments are a popular highlight of your channel. More haters tears. Love it! Thanks again Scotty.
Trolls? Pile!
Nice work. Appreciate the sarcasm and high standards you work to.
I hope you have a great weekend @vehcor!
Thanks , and you as well.
Amazing how easy the playdohnium pretty much every vehicle is made from these days can be manipulated with some simple tools and a little arm strength. Yay automotive technology! Great video Scott, have a great weekend!
Just not the HSS, that stuff doesn’t like to move. 😂
I've done a few older restoration. I'm mostly impressed by the wiggle jiggle method of removing so many parts.
Great time lapse (although regular speed is my favorite). Next time it would be great to see super slow motion. Be really careful with the sparks flying all over. We don't want your shop to burn like all the food processing plants are.
The sarcasm is strong in this one.. keep it up Scott.
You do it the rite way after your finished the title should be clean again also I been lucky I bought many rebuild vehicles for my personal use but never repair the way you do it but I was always happy whit my total loss vehicle never add a big problem with them you go overboard with everything keep up the good work enjoying all your content especially this one because I own a 016 GMC Terrain thanks
Being born left handed I can use all tools in either hand due to always being told from a very young age to use the “correct” hand! It’s really handy sawing wood or painting as you never have to reposition anything, just change hand. Can’t write with my right hand though.
Props for the die grinder. Your time lapse music sounds like a country western video game from 1985.
Like someone else said, you do excellent work but unlike him I appreciate the narrative and the sarcastic comments...they elicit some laughs and laughs are always good.
I knew our technology was listening to us - but mind-reading interactive TH-cam videos from vehcor?? Right after I was thinking, "where do you get a spot weld breaker like that?" you answered on your Amazon store... whoa. 😆
👍🏻
I'm just completing estimator training and getting into CCC One estimating software and associated notes. This is aimed more at people who want to follow in Vehcor's footsteps (like me).
From what I have seen, the proper GM sectioning procedure for the dogleg is to remove the entire quarter panel, sectioning it through the rear window below the roof. I would have to check notes on Monday as to whether the skin is high-strength steel (HSS) or not. Probably not as the skins are usually stitch-welded, and that requires more heating than HSS allows. If it's not, you can probably get away with this repair without compromising anything. I'm betting the wheel house is not HSS and can be sectioned anywhere. Generally, parts that are crushable are not HSS while the "roll cage" members will be. All the same, it's a tough call for skin metal and I don't know of a way to tell by looking. Mfr. specs will tell you or call your local dealer and ask.
Good call on the inner parts though - those parts should be removed entire as ALL the rocker steel is HSS and should never be sectioned. I also noted your B-pillar replacement on this or another similar car was by the book. Anything less compromises structural integrity.
Quick note of something I was alerted to two weeks ago - a new rule from Subaru says that any dents big enough to require quarter panel replacement that are within 100 mm (4 inches) of the roof is an automatic total. Note to self: Avoid Subaru from 2021 onward. The reasoning is that the roof will have to come off, and the labor involved makes the job expensive enough and compromises structure enough that the car would be considered unsafe. Dents can be filled, but any wrinkles, folds, or overlaps are a DNR.
NOTE TO THE NOOBS:
1) There are parts of a car that may be boron steel. Those pieces are NOT repairable and must be replaced in their entirety.
2) HSS has restrictions on welding. Generally the metal outside the immediate weld area cannot be heated past 650 degrees F for more than 90 seconds (max) in two cycles in the same area without compromising the strength. Weld once and do it right. Don't heat it to shape it if you can help it. It can be hammered back to shape. Be sparing with the heat.
3) Unless you can find otherwise, assume that any frame member is HSS or Ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) and must be replaced whole. Front and rear frame rail ends are a possible exception and do have (generally) manufacturer-approved areas for sectioning.
4) Any frame rail that is kinked or bent is an automatic replacement, even if pulling straightens it. It has bent once. Its crushing strength is compromised and may fold up worse in a second accident. Vehcor has been very good about replacing crushed frames. Don't take chances. If in doubt, replace it whole.

You do excellent work.
Thanks!
The best part of every Friday. Thanks for the video Scott.
please. No music. Thanks. I like your work and your commentary. I've learned a lot.
I'm a fan of your videos the way they are. I like the fact you don't play music like alot of other TH-camrs. Keep doing what you're doing 👌
Your work is amazingly professional! a joy to watch!
As always great work. Totally enjoy the work and narrative together. Gives me ideas for my employment at a tech time study writer. Get the work done and go back and explain. 👍
7 months out from Christmas and your already giving hints, Sir I like your style🎁
I love his narrative! should have been a comedian, love it, don't change a thing.
Solid progress Scott! I'm uploading right now!
Thanks, I’ll be waiting for your video!
@@vehcor Thanks!
Always love to see your current Video postings. Thanks Scott. Happy mother's day pizza girl.
Good afternoon Scott and thumbs UP !!
Thanks, have a great weekend.
LHHS: Left-handed-hammering Scott
Disturbing and awkward! 😂
Sarcasm Friday….Never miss an episode!
Calling people you work with "gnomes" is a great team-building strategy. Especially when repairing valuable, well-built, high-quality GM SUVs.
Dye grinder is one of my favorite tools great job 👏
They weren't shy on those spot welds. lol
19:55 Mr. Spotty's long lost relative.
Over caffeinated Scott was entertaining!!
Always enjoying the content, I hope some day he runs out of GMC Terrain parts to provide a variety or change of scenery. Considering this build is a near identical replay. Over and Over and Over. Repetition makes him a better person. If you don't learn it the first time keep trying. He's trying hard. Bravo.. No don't rebuild a Bravo.
Thanks Scott and not having a 10000 piece puzzle 👍👊👨🔧
Great work! Glad the "bumper install tools" are in good shape and working good! Happy Friday Scott!
Careful with those ‘hand tools’. I used mine as hammers for so long that I’ve had to have numerous hand operations to fix the damage but nothing can fix the trauma related arthritis.
Who needs a frame rack when you've got a sturdy wall to use instead?
And a truck. 😂
I'm calling the time lapse segment music, electric Hill Billy.
Another great video. I look forward to seeing the next and the next.......
Always a good show. Like the regular posts.
Home runs all the way around Scott! You know I saw that one piece of masking tape on the drivers side you pulled off. I thought it might have been member of Mr Spotty’s family. 🤪
7:39 I like your humor 😂
Love the show. Great learning experience. Thanks 👍
I happen to love the sarcasm and sort of witt that harbors it... I been there.. No way that you could do this as a first timer... doing those removals is fascinating to me just how much phony plastic people buy thinking they are hot stuff.. I miss that bumper on my family ford car that had all the shiny chrome and bumper guards. It was the sixties and anything else would just be wrong
Not certain how I feel about the 'music/time lapse' addition. One of the reasons I enjoy your videos is the work and the voice over explanations. Including all those sarcasm gems! Don't need music to see quality work being done. Going to be another cherry vehicle when you're done with it!
When i was at the ford grage they had a recall for bad arostar welds in the chassis they put 250 poprivits in the chassis
Completely shelling a door to repaint= quality job!
Very nice work 👍👍
Thank you
Como siempre desde que veo tus vídeos un trabajo municioso y excelente . Saludos desde Perú
I love the music!
I just loved the music…lol
Most car's that have structural damage like that are scrapped here in Australia, great job all the best to you and your loved ones
That's not structural damage, and that would definitely not be scrapped in Australia.
@@TyphoonVstrom Any welded on parts are usually classed as structural - at least they are here in UK 👍
The world had found out Scott's other side gig. DJ Chrome Dome?:)
Great job
Hey Mr. Spoty should do a video from his view point.
Thanks fir the video🙂
No problem, thanks for watching.
love your work
I was waiting something like Benny Hill for those timelapses with music.
Time lapse music was like having battery acid dripped in my ears, 🤣🤣
I have to shut the whiners up somehow. Now they won’t complain I don’t put music in my videos. 😂
Savage!
Today's cars fit together like a Lego set!
They have been like that for a long time. The legos just got smaller with more pieces. 😂
well, looks like the Terrain from Scott's Terrain Emporium that donated its passenger side B-Pillar for the last Boring Build (the 2017 Terrain Denali) is donating another part for the current Boring Build!
This is why I'd buy a vehicle from Scott - what you can't see is also fixed right.
Please continue with long narratives and increase of sarcastic comments 👍
Lol 😆 🤣 😂 awesome choice of music
Great video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
You make it look soooooo easy! Your impact drill identifies as a torque wrench? I'm dying... LGB!
Curious to see how many hours you end up putting into this project. This should make someone a really nice vehicle.
Real snap together car
I remember the days before the magic eraser what a nightmare
Time to get back to the mustang
Hello Scott it's your day buddy .
👍🏻
I honestly never realized how much removal/disassembly was required for painting. It's like the bulk majority of this repair was just removing everything to get the paint corrected.
Where do find all those weird body clips trim clips etc assuming they aren't in Scotty's insert_model_here emporium ?
Finding replacements when someone has been there before and broke em off and or not left the old ones is more work than almost anything else.
Question Scott, (or anybody who would know), regarding the SLE letters.
Do you reuse those letters?
How do you get ALL of the adhesive off the back side?
What do you use to reapply? These letters look like they are attached with a die cut foam adhesive of some type, very neat and precise.
Ok … 3 questions, sorry… but I’m going to have to do this on my truck. Thanks to all.
EDIT… what was, and where did you get that long fork pry tool you used on the roof rack?
Crap 4 questions… sorry.
We call that foam adhesive 'trim tape' here in UK. Thin double sided foam adhesive tape, just clean off old tape from lettering, stick tape on back of lettering then carefully trim with a craft knife. Pull off backing from tape and stick lettering to car. In cold weather warm panel first as tape sticks better. Yes it's slow and tedious but gets job done 👍
Scott, when the vehicle is held up with the jackstand and wheel off, will it move when the come along pulls a dogleg, a pillar, or frame rail?
According to this video, yes.
Please pay attention, the answer is in the video 😅
If it falls from jackstand and lands on your foot, you'll know it moved 😅
Great content as always 👍
Great content as always
With all the work you do, how do you make anything on these?
