@@vehcor you're kidding right? You do what you do, and "don't know"? Do you really think you can bend back structural damage and the next accident is going to be ok because it looks pretty after your hand touch? That train of thought makes you a criminal, trying to fool people this way.
Since I've never done body and fender work, watching a pro do what it takes to get everything aligned and measured correctly is all new and fascinating to me.
The job is always planned to the end, sometimes you have to adapt. I fully intended on going into the roof. I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes you get a win!
How mad was mr spotty when you tossed him in "the" pile? A wrong time to figure out the door doesn't fit right. Ah, the voice of experience. Excellent work, Scott, and congratulations on the meticulous attention to detail.
Scott far lesser channels have more views but you are in my opinion the very best on you tube, attention to detail and repairing the auto better than it left the factory, top class, ps I also enjoy your humour
I try to mention his channel in other comment sections as often as I can. It is too bad that he doesn't have around a million subscribers, his content is top notch!
👍👌👏 2) I had some questions but you answered them all while working! Very well done again and as always (video and work). Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
the 5 n1 original use are as a putty knife, a scraper, a gouger, a paint roller cleaner, and a paint can opener. your uses, inventive 😉Me, never amounted to much in life, just became a painter. Love your work
My Civic was also T-boned in the same fashion almost 30 years ago, after a six-week-long fix it was ok on the outside but the ride height was off(driver side lower by 5mm). Wished I had the money for a replacement back then. The estimated cost back then was $7500Cdn.
The 5 in 1 tool is one of my favorite tools ever . I’m in the construction trade for work but get my hands into all kinds of things and that tool comes in handy for so many things . It could literally be called a 100 in 1 tool
Absolutely love your professionalism in your method of fixing that car’s structure, i been following you now for couple of months and now i am taking a collision repair program and i am learning a lot from you thank you sir❤️ Big fan from Tennessee
That is exactly what the people that designed the repair procedures do to decide what the repair procedures are. The same people critical of welding are also the ones that think you could straighten it. These are the “experts” I enjoy making fun of. You know, the ones that have never worked on a car in their lives and all their training comes from watching videos.
At 71 a retired mechanic with crash repair expirience, a appreciate watching people do " the right thing" in their trade, looking at the inner city road map of scars on the back of my hands they mostly relate to the crash repair part of my life, 😅😅😅 do you buy the 10 cut off blades you really need or the " bitch mittens" you should be wearing to avoid the next trip to the first aid box, 😂😂😂 I guess most of us know that answers and we can assume everyone that commends has more self preservation and money😅
a great watch,i know you dont like safety gear but i was sectioning up an aftermarket slam last week on my workshop floor with my safety glasses on and a bit of swirl came up from the piece on the floor and hit me on the bridge of the nose,so near that i had visions of going to ae and them getting the big magnet out for my eye as the piece rusted in my cornea,just saying done the job too long
Haha. I’m not a mechanic but My 2016 crv is in this situation. Side swiped directly into the b-pillar. It runs smoothly but the damages is potentially a total loss by the insurance. For sure I will buy back my car. Thank you!
Last week I found out the "wiggle and pull" method needs some extra... pull when trying to get out a GM overhead console. For some reason they used like 6 metal clips to hold up a piece of plastic that has the domelight and a sunglass holder in it.
Hello Scotty! From a place 2 1/2 miles from where this CR-V was born, Alliston ON. (Looked at the VIN in the 1st episode, cause some were also born in East Liberty OH, and Morrisburg IN)
Great work as always!!! Keep up the great work!! I always finish off my Fridays watching you rip apart and repair the damaged rockets. Happy Canada Day 🍁!!!! And July 4th 🎆!!!!!
I've often wondered if when body guys are hammering on body panels to provide stress relief ... is that stress relief to the panel, or just stress relief for the one doing the hammering ... maybe both? :o)
Hey you did get around to fix the audio thing, nice, thanks! Usually when new video comes out from you it's late night in here so that's why I'm using headphones.
Amazing work. I am in awe of how hard you work and how well your videos are edited with clear (and often funny) commentary. I wish I had 1/10 of your skills in these areas. Keep up the great work and the videos! Would love to see you repair an Audi since I own a couple and would love to see what is unique about fixing some of them.
I love your videos. I love that you are anal about your work. Would you mind putting a small video on the yellow stands. I see a lot of people making them out of wood. I prefer steel, being squashed like a bug is not on my to do list. Keep building.
Very interesting that the high strength steel B pillar comes in 2 sections (top and bottom). Is that a safety feature? Deflecting energy via a known crumple seam halfway up the B pillar?
@@vehcor Yeah I remember from previous videos that you were the body gnome and the painting gnome some time ago but now you just don't want to do it so you get an outside gnlme to do your job for you
Love your videos but If I recall you did say you would return to the Mustang rebuild/rebody once you hit 200K subscribers. Cannot wait to see you get back on it! He says hopefully!
Not what I said, it was even easier than that. Go rewatch the video, ironically, that will insure you see it sooner. With a little effort on the part of people complaining, you could see it every week.
@vehcor not sure if would matter anymore, but on those CR-Vs, the front bumper grill is two pieces, and you don't have to remove the tiny fragile trim that clips into the headlight. Great video, as always!
I guess I wasn't looking close enough. I would have thought all the work was around the B pillar I didn't see anything wrong around the A pillar / front of the front door. But you are there and the pro so .
As always a great job and very good content, it would have been totally scrapped over here in the UK, I don't think any of our bodger's, sorry body repairers would know how to do it without a lot of bondo Regards Doug

Stupid. But I get it, not everyone can afford a non totaled car. Just pray there's no more accidents on the same area or you'll deeply regret it.
I would ask for specific reasoning for your comment but I don’t want to expose your lack of knowledge any more than you already have.
@@vehcor you're kidding right? You do what you do, and "don't know"?
Do you really think you can bend back structural damage and the next accident is going to be ok because it looks pretty after your hand touch?
That train of thought makes you a criminal, trying to fool people this way.
What bent back part was not replaced that is required in the repair procedure?
I’ll rely on my years of ICAR training over someone on the Internet.
@@vehcor now I'm super impressed with you. A booklet reader who thinks he's an engineer LOL
I got to tell you, every time I watch you you blow my mind with the bodywork you do. Absolutely incredible. You're a credit to your profession
I'd buy one of his restored cars.
Thanks, I just do it the way it should be done.
@vehcor Sadly, plenty of shops don't. You always do a great job!
It might be 40 years old, but it still does the job and you couldn't do what you do without it!
Great sense of humor! Sarcasm is great tool.
👍🏻
Since I've never done body and fender work, watching a pro do what it takes to get everything aligned and measured correctly is all new and fascinating to me.
It is great to watch a pro at work and notice how everything seems to be planned for the next step. Keep it up.
The job is always planned to the end, sometimes you have to adapt. I fully intended on going into the roof. I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes you get a win!
Very nice that the inner center pillar has factory sectioned seams and you didn't have to go into the roof.
I’m glad I checked before I just assumed and started cutting up the roof! 😂
Whoa I didn't realize that, very cool!
How mad was mr spotty when you tossed him in "the" pile? A wrong time to figure out the door doesn't fit right. Ah, the voice of experience. Excellent work, Scott, and congratulations on the meticulous attention to detail.
I'm wondering about the fate of the VIN sticker... Come back next week for the next intallment of Vehcor!
Yeah, the painting gnome gets mad if he has to repaint something because I messes up. I try not to mess up. 😂 New stickers can be purchased.
official 5 n 1 uses (from painting days) - scraper/paint can opener/roller squeegee/window glazing remover/caulk tip cutter. but also, yeah, hammer, flat blade screwdriver, phillips on loose storm window/down spout screws, throwing knife into trees, pry bar, putty knife...greatest tool ever
I am just thinking the amount of cars that are now in a junkyard with similar damage that could be easily fixed. Great video 👍
"easily"
I’m constantly competing against one of the local yards for cars. They usually win, I can’t save them all and make a profit. 😢
@@vehcor keep doing your great job. Talented and with a fantastic sense of humor. We will continue supporting you. 👍
I shope copart a lot and it's hard to come out ahead, and usually there's almost always more wrong with it than advertised
That’s funny, the pinstripe was so out of place, was glad to see you peel it.
Scott far lesser channels have more views but you are in my opinion the very best on you tube, attention to detail and repairing the auto better than it left the factory, top class, ps I also enjoy your humour
I try to mention his channel in other comment sections as often as I can. It is too bad that he doesn't have around a million subscribers, his content is top notch!
They are here to make content, I am here to sell cars. They make their money on the videos, I make it on the rebuilds.
Mr. Spotty never complains and always has a smile on his face no matter what kind of jamb he finds himself in...perseverance!
Yes! Boring Build Friday is here! Have a great weekend and 4th of July Scott! 🇺🇸
Happy Independence Day to you as well.
You, sir, are a true craftsman. A real pleasure to watch your videos.
Thanks!
Great work

Another walk in the park for Scott. Flawless work as usual. See you in the next installment. Have a great safe weekend.
Thanks, this was easier than I had anticipated.
i just started watching this channel. besides the snappy commentary, i like seeing what is under the skin of the vehicle.
Glad to have you with us!
Glad to see Mr spotty hard at work 😅😅😅
I can see another CRV rebuild in the near future?I appreciate your skill level🤗😎🤗😎
They are hard to get a deal on due to their popularity but it is not for lack of trying.
Nice job, Scott. Another great job.
Thanks!
I enjoy watching these crazy rebuilds that you do. It shows how you have mastered this craft. Cheers
I’ve used a pair of Klein lineman pliers as a hammer for years. Didn’t feel like climbing off the ladder to get an actual hammer! Got the job done!
Every tool has a hammer side. 😂
@@vehcor We need to patent that! Little arrow on the packaging that says hammer side. Don’t tell another living soul! 🥴

That tool, left hand side of pillar and right hand of side pillar, makes 9 and 10. 10 in one hand tool.
Congrats for reaching 200k subs❤. I love your work.
Thanks!
I would love to see a drilled spot weld, panels replaced and mig through welded crash test. I have seen so many comments critical of mig weld through.
That is exactly what the people that designed the repair procedures do to decide what the repair procedures are. The same people critical of welding are also the ones that think you could straighten it. These are the “experts” I enjoy making fun of.

i was impressed with the hydraulic section of the task. Can't say i've seen such a procedure many times.

Great to see a Master Craftsman at work !

@vehcor happy fourth of July. How is the g8 repairs going?
Happy fourth. I haven’t had time to get to it.
Bondo dust, rust, corruption and everything else found in Illinois…that’s got me rolling. Thank the Lord I only work in Chicago and don’t live there.
18:35 goddamn smart. I didn't expect and I probably never thought about that😂
Q:Do you feel your strengths are in body work or mechanical? You said before you are a mechanic by trade?
He doesn't seem to do a ton of actual reshaping parts, pounding out dents etc, but is certainly very good at the removal/installation process
I can do all of it at the same skill level. I just prefer not to paint or do dent repair.
@@vehcor Yeah I remember from previous videos that you were the body gnome and the painting gnome some time ago but now you just don't want to do it so you get an outside gnlme to do your job for you

Thanks!
Scott another bang up job brother
Excellent..Thanks for sharing.
No problem. Thanks for watching!

I would have to remove it from the bumper, which is worse. I took the lesser of two evils.
Good morning , if you meet into an accident like this can the b pillar be fixed and the car still remains a clean title ?
Scott you’re slacking on the sarcasm this week 😂. Nice job so far!
Nice work. Looking forward to the next video. Have a good July 4th
LoL, “Corruption” it’s not just in Illinois anymore!!
I assume you must have turned down a few offers for a newfangled frame straightener?
Can you tell me what brand and size grinding disc you use to grind down the spot welds to break them loose thank you
I guess I wasn't looking close enough. I would have thought all the work was around the B pillar I didn't see anything wrong around the A pillar / front of the front door. But you are there and the pro so .
The a pillar was fine, the hinges were just bent from the door being pulled back.
Impressive, just out of curiosity, how much would you charge for a job like this?
As always a great job and very good content, it would have been totally scrapped over here in the UK, I don't think any of our bodger's, sorry body repairers would know how to do it without a lot of bondo Regards Doug
Looks like Mr Spotty went South with the B pillar skin.
He’ll find his way back I’m sure.
should've worn eye protection when pulling the door hitch.
Pinch weld clamps. Oh, no. Now Carmax will know it's been on a frame rack. What will you do?
Sell it to someone that will give me more money.
@vehcor Hey where do you get your your body parts doors and rocker pillar from?
Whichever salvage yard has the highest quality at the best price. The doors, came from one yard, the fender from another and the quarter from another.

I’m going with the holiday pay. 😂
Awesome video Scott. 🚗🚗🚗
At 6:57 what tool is that?
I'd be a little nervous standing too close to the chain while pulling the rear door opening. If the chain or striker breaks, it could be bad news.
It didn’t have enough tension to go anywhere. It doesn’t take much to move those strikers.
Great job 👍
Why are you using a dressing hammer to hammer on the chisel?
Great video as usual as we say in louisiana finer than frog hair keep up the great content and as you say in the pile

How many hours do you have into this so far? 6? 8?
10, drilling the used parts apart is a slow process with the HSS.
👍👍👍😎😎😎great video as always,keep doing what your doing.kudos
What are the chances of getting a panel from the junkyard the same color as the car your fixing 😅
In the case of this Gen CR-V, it helps when your vehicle is the color of close to 40% of units built...
Pretty good when I requested it.
