Here's my take on the cavity wax, it took a whole 3 seconds, at most, and cost a buck, at most. Why the hell not! I like the idea of doing everything possible to stop the rust on my vehicle. Just makes me feel good to know it's protected. Keep at it!
@@vehcor The Problem with wax is: after some times it cracks and in hot summer conditions it melts away.We like to use a special car grease (sorry don't know the english name), it makes a real mess to put it on, but it works much better. cheers from germany see this video for example ( only in german, but i think u'll get the point) th-cam.com/video/VL6YHBamid8/w-d-xo.html
@@ferrumignis Well, in hot summer conditions , wax can melt away. in cold conditions it starts to crack, as u can see in the video link i posted. In the vid is an oldtimer car door opend after some time. in the close up , you can see what i am talking about.
Love it how all these - let’s call them “eMechanics” - have such strong opinions on things they know nothing about. Clearly you know what you are doing and do things to an incredibly high standard. I really love your videos Scott, the lengths you go to in order to get the job done properly first time make for great viewing. Thanks for bringing us this awesome content mate!!
"Love it how all these - let’s call them “eMechanics” - have such strong opinions on things they know nothing about." You know next nothing about them, let alone what they know about.You just call something "opinion." Projecting much? :D "Clearly you know what you are doing and do things to an incredibly high standard." That clearly invalidates their criticism, right? ;)
I absolutely can't wait for your video every week it puts a smile on my face to see someone actually cares about the quality of their work and less what the hater trolls have to say. Keep up the great content.
Looking good Scott , that was a great idea for the bed realignment tool ! I am not sure what kind of a douche a person would have to be to say that the cavity wax is a waste of time. You do real GOOD work and you are the only one that I watch repair vehicles on youtube that I would actually feel safe and comfortable buying a vehicle from ! Thumbs UP to you !
I love the keyboard cowboys who know it all, i love it. Keep doing what your doin. Your the difference between done and done right with care. Thanks for the great videos
Scott, as always great video! I love how you poke the naysayers. Makes me Crack up. It is amazing how you have the most experience of anyone I have seen and I would love to own a truck you have fixed. IT IS DONE THE RIGHT WAY! Thanks for the videos and the poking of the idiots out there. Have a great one.
Something about watching a dirty (but perfectly good) part being installed onto a brand new shiny part that makes me smile thinking how hard the clean freaks are cringing.
This is what separates Vehcor from the rest of the re builders. Scott pays attention to detail. If I lived in the USA I would never have a issue buying one of your rebuilds.
Scott, I live in southwestern Ontario, also the land of corrosion, I have a great appreciation for your effort and use of cavity wax in your builds, keep up the good work.
Well, gee.....thanks. I enjoy your instructional videos. I was hoping they would be helpful, and they were to some degree. I have a vehicle I recently purchased and it did need some paint work. So following your procedures, I stripped down my vehicle in the same manner. The next day I arrived but no painting gnomes showed up. Now I have a stripped down vehicle sitting in the middle of the shop. PLEASE make a video showing how to get the paint gnomes to appear.
The truck looks great Scott! I never used anything inside the doors until i watched your videos. I could not find the cavity wax so i used fluid film inside the doors trunk lid, hood, everywhere i could think of. I live in Connecticut where they pour salt brine on the roads ,it loves the eat steel. I had my new used truck frame blasted then hot galvanized they did not quench it so paint would stick to it, 3 coats of catalyzed black paint in a attempt to keep the rust at bay. I cavity waxed the whole inside of the frame after painting.
Actually thanks to you, I actually went out of my way and cavity waxed the crap out of all the doors in my Jeep when I had them repainted cause New Jersey rust. So far, it hasn’t been back… So… Thanks for not giving a crap about what anyone else says and helping me keep my truck looking decent. Spotty needs a raise though.
You know what is funny...Besides your somewhat sarcastic humor. The little white clips that hold your door seal on, are the same clips that my 87 Jeep Wrangler has on the door seals. Keep up the GREAT work Scott! Love your videos as well as the sarcasm!
I agree your rebuilds are the best and Id buy one of yours any day because you build them like they were for your most precious family member and I so appreciate your detail in repairs , keep up the great work Im a huge fan as Ive mentioned before , Keep up the cavity wax applications I love that
On the door seals, I use a 90 degree pick to put in the hole and stretch it, it makes taking them off SO much faster and easier. Thoroughly enjoy your video as always, thanks for taking the time to share it.
Scott, your attention to detail and Craftsmanship is the reason I would not have a problem buying a salvage title vehicle from you. It's nice to see a man that cares about his work not just his paycheck.
I am surprised the clean freaks didn't jump on you for not cleaning the rear frame before installing the bed. LOL You do a great job Scott and in Illinois, people appreciate the cavity wax. Blessings!
Your videos are awesome as usual. It is nice to see things done better than factory. Also, it was nice to see the Buick Riviera in the background. Glad to see some still being preserved!
Thanks for that "clip tip". I don't think I've ever once taken any piece of interior trim off with breaking most of the plastic clips. I may just be ham handed. Or bologna.
Haters are gonna hate man. Don’t pay them any attention. I love all the videos. Hurricane messed up my internet but I’m catching up. Thank you for sharing what you do with us. Keep it up !!!
These things are going to be lots of fun to fix when they get old and all that plastic gets brittle. "I'm going to continue to do what I want" ... made me laugh. That's just how it should be, it's your work to stand behind.
Scott! Love watching your rebuilds! Your sense of humor just cracks me up on "some bodies been here before" quote!! I need to eventually some how meet you & discuss an issue i have with my car! That if maybe you can fix my issue, I'd appreciate that!! After so many of your videos I've watched, I fully trust ya with my car!!
It's definitely worth treating a vehicle for rust whenever the opportunity arises. I have a 1982 Mitsubishi L300 van that was treated for rust when it was young and other than rocker panels that I had to repair when I was putting it back on the road, it has insignificant rust. Needless to say that I treated it again before it went back on the road. My 1981 L300 that I had before this one had really bad rust and I had to take it off the road. So this 1982 L300 is one of very few left on the road today. All the best from Queensland Australia.
HA! I just love it when the arm chair guys tell you when to not WASTE time on things! Glad that you do things right! Your Pizza Girl Chews gum faster as the Tense moment increases...so cool Thanks for the Early show-Have a great weekend-when its over there will be lots of new wrecks ti choose from for your next project. Stay well! Rich
For those heat shrink butt connectors i many times on the smaller wires use the next smaller size. I have seen them come in both yellow or white. They are white on Amazon. They come in several kits or by themselves. They are listed as 22-24 ga wire but work to nearly 18 ga wire. I like them because they are just over an inch long, have the glue lining and smaller diameter than the pink 18-20 ga ones. I saw them in 100, 150, or 500 count packages.
Love the way you want lines to look . I am the same way. I pulled mine almost like that but with tractor and loader . I think the wax is a good thing. I use it and I am in Kentucky. I just want things to work the way it should and no short cuts.
When someone who deals with cars from the midwest and he mentions an exterior electrical harness repair that is an easy, lasting fix... I'm gonna take his word for it.
Taking your tips about cavity wax. Plus the info about fluid film. I have used those products around my Florida Island home where the salt air corrodes everything. Simple things like an outside electrical outlet that has a weather cover(which does little good) corrodes up to useless in about 5 years. So now after replacing them I cover them in FluidFilm. For two electrical breaker boxes on the outside of the house that I replaced because the old ones were pretty much just a hunk of rust. Cavity wax all inside. FluidFilm on the outside. For my outside AC unit I treated it too. Hopefully the outside AC unit will not have to be replaced in just a mere 4 years this time.
Dang! Always entertaining and informative at the same time. It's interesting how similar the build is to my 1500 regarding the interior and doors. I love the content and learn a lot, all the while being entertained and amazed at the skill level and results. Seriously awesome content! Thanks! :)
Until today, I never knew those were called heat shrink terminals, nor that they were to be heated to seal. I just thought the plastic was to insulate the splice. That wisdom alone was worth watching your channel. Thanks for educating me today!!!
There a couple different kinds. The ones he used were the heatshrink kind. But they also make cheaper non "weather-proof" connectors that look similar, I wouldn't try to heatshrink the non weather-proof ones. It might get stinky
@vehcor In my defense, I'm a retired dentist who's only fully restored one vehicle in my life. A very rare early 1963 Corvette Roadster, from hot rodded back to fully stock. I watch your channel for the dark humor and to learn a thing or two. Thanks!
I'm a diyer with my first car being an impala doing my own work or most of it i should say, im surprised what i've learned on replacing and such but now im a fan of these rebuild channels, especially the trucks. so much you can do. To answer that one question tho: 18:46 = you can honestly spray some all purpose cleaner like Purple power or SuperClean and use a brush and pressure washer, because they're carpeted it'll take a few minutes to get most of the dirt out.
Haters gonna hate! It’s amazing that people worry about you putting wax in the doors. You are the only guy I’d buy a rebuilt vehicle from! Keep up the good work Scott!
You do nice work. I’d happily buy anything you’ve repaired. You have great attention to details, and clearly care about the job you are doing. Thanks for making the videos.
Think the cavity wax is doesn't hurt, takes little to no time and make the truck last longer. Why is matters if you use it now who knows🤣 haters will be haters, great job with the rebuilds!
If you tilt back with the mast of the fork lift instead of driving back when your pulling bed rails in it’s more consistent and smoother with finer control. Both ways work but with the hydraulics you don’t get the lash in the drive train. You do you though haha
I see on the tailgate you got wood 🤣 thanks for telling me about rear bumper ( raising bed) had to do a 2018 this week and learned the 2x4 trick in the rear to raise bed. Paint stick alignment tool for tailgate gaps worked great...Used the blanket trick also. Those bumper plastics and spare tire lock tube retainer SUCK! 🤣 The guys that dont bother with cavity wax? Live in Arizona/Texas. Not in our rust belt. Thanks for vids....i have to do front bumper on a 19 next week....retirement is keeping me busy.....no f...in train🤣. Thank Scott for all you do.👍👍👍👍.
So glad you value all the unsolicited advice you get from the "experts" here in the comments! Mr. Spotty is the most upset though...cause he can't leave a comment. Masking tape can't type...can it? Haha. On a serious note...watching your style of work and attention to detail...if/when I need a used vehicle....I'll send you a request so if you come across one at an auction or elsewhere...could be a good thing for both of us. You get some cool cash for hard work done and I'd get a cool used ride that won't rust out and will be reliable...unless it's a Ford...oh no he didn't! I love Fords...I've owned 4 of them, and 2 Lincolns....but you go where the laughs are best. Haha.
I’m always happy to sell a car. Building them is the fun part for me. Thanks for the support. Mr. Spotty can type, he is always texting when he should be working!
A Right-Of-Passage to be wounded by j-nuts ... multiple times. "This one isn't rusty, so I can just hold it with my finger". The mechanic's Band Aid = masking tape. We never get infections. Never.
I agree with you regarding the cavity wax I had a truck that had it put in the doors and it didn't rust for over 20 years. Just wish I had done it on my current truck. Keep up the good work and great videos. You need to order pizza more often. LOL
Here's my take on the cavity wax, it took a whole 3 seconds, at most, and cost a buck, at most. Why the hell not! I like the idea of doing everything possible to stop the rust on my vehicle. Just makes me feel good to know it's protected. Keep at it!

That bed lift is pretty awesome! Want one for myself to make that ordeal miles easier.

Cavity wax sounds good to me, I would be spraying inside of lower fenders and quarters if I was doing that work. I give you An A+
It's amazing that GM is still using those weatherstripping clips. My '74 Eldorado uses the same type of clips.
My '86 Chevy K5 has them on the cowl weatherstripping, over the firewall. I hate those damned things.
its so hard to find good help these dayz i hear ya scott !
Don't normally comment. Thank you. Really enjoy all the repairs and your unique😉 commentary. Have a great day. Peace!

Some are pretty bad. 😂
My F150 is pretty bad, LOL. Then again, most 2015's are misaligned on all doors.... just like mine.
Hi Scott. In the northeast we have the same problem with rust. Cavity wax is a no brainer.
If you tilt back with the mast of the fork lift instead of driving back when your pulling bed rails in it’s more consistent and smoother with finer control. Both ways work but with the hydraulics you don’t get the lash in the drive train. You do you though haha
Sweet Extra's for the next owner. Well done, keep adding value to each build. PS what happen to Happy :-)
Another great video. You make rebuilds look so easy. I always look forward to Fridays. Thanks for the videos.
You have great rebuilds, keep doing what you're doing
I see on the tailgate you got wood 🤣 thanks for telling me about rear bumper ( raising bed) had to do a 2018 this week and learned the 2x4 trick in the rear to raise bed. Paint stick alignment tool for tailgate gaps worked great...Used the blanket trick also. Those bumper plastics and spare tire lock tube retainer SUCK! 🤣 The guys that dont bother with cavity wax? Live in Arizona/Texas. Not in our rust belt. Thanks for vids....i have to do front bumper on a 19 next week....retirement is keeping me busy.....no f...in train🤣. Thank Scott for all you do.👍👍👍👍.
Geeeez i never knew that bumper had that many bolts!!!!
I don’t think I would say anything about the Pizza girl, she might beat you in a arm wrestling match. Thanks for the video.
She had a good set of shoulders and lats!
So glad you value all the unsolicited advice you get from the "experts" here in the comments! Mr. Spotty is the most upset though...cause he can't leave a comment. Masking tape can't type...can it? Haha. On a serious note...watching your style of work and attention to detail...if/when I need a used vehicle....I'll send you a request so if you come across one at an auction or elsewhere...could be a good thing for both of us. You get some cool cash for hard work done and I'd get a cool used ride that won't rust out and will be reliable...unless it's a Ford...oh no he didn't! I love Fords...I've owned 4 of them, and 2 Lincolns....but you go where the laughs are best. Haha.
I’m always happy to sell a car. Building them is the fun part for me. Thanks for the support. Mr. Spotty can type, he is always texting when he should be working!
Great videos, I can totally relate to never holding or having a finger even close to the j-nuts when removing them…..
A Right-Of-Passage to be wounded by j-nuts ... multiple times. "This one isn't rusty, so I can just hold it with my finger".
The mechanic's Band Aid = masking tape. We never get infections. Never.
Always my favorite way to end a week keep up the good work thanks 😊
Thanks for the support!
I was looking for your channel for the longest time
After working the Pizza Girl so hard, I hope you brought HER a pizza 🤣. Great video as always.
Having lived in Denton, Texas for several decades I purchased many new and used vehicles from the James Wood dealership.
I agree with you regarding the cavity wax I had a truck that had it put in the doors and it didn't rust for over 20 years. Just wish I had done it on my current truck. Keep up the good work and great videos. You need to order pizza more often. LOL
