- Returning to the old time lapses, It does give a different perspective on the build but lacks the details of the series. You get to see how much I move the camera for the series as well as how much Mr Spotty does off camera!
The amount of work that went into this build is incredible! Thumbs up from me as usual!
It is a good thing I like the work! lol Thanks for the support!
Great series as always! Thanks for all the time it takes you to record, edit and narrate the videos. They're always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great job, you are fortunate to have ladies to help you..
Thanks, they come in handy. lol
Best rebuild channel on TH-cam.
Thanks, that is quite a title!
@@vehcor a very much deserved one
great video and the afternoon crew makes it all worth while
I'm just here to edit the videos now. lol
That short super speed was cool. I still like to watch you and your helpers. Your videos always show me somthing new. And yes, engineers, DO NOT have to repair their mistakes!!!!
It was a different perspective but I am with you, I like the series better. Thanks for watching!
Cool overview and interesting to see how the whole thing works with the filming. Great that your daughters can stick around and help out. ;-)
Thanks, it is a different look at the job, literally. lol Thanks for watching!
Congrats on sending it on down the road. I'm sure the new owners will be very satisfied with their new ride.
Thanks, they love it so far!
I like the time lapse recap of these builds. I look forward to the next build..
Thanks, new build Friday..... I hope!
Good way to keep the family together.
There is a fine line, it is also a good way to make sure they never want to see you again depending how the job goes. lol
Man that's a lot of work!
But it was a lot of fun!
This was a great finishing touch. Your attention to detail is spot on! Very respectable to do the right thing when fixing vehicles, not like the dealer hack for the transmission install! Looking forward to next week at 2pm!
Thanks, do it right or don't do it at all! New build coming Friday if I can get it edited in time. Gotta run! Thanks for watching!
Another Great Magic Act!!! Your work is Amazing!!!
Thank you!
Wonderful video as always
Thanks!
"In the pile" lol. great build man.
Thanks, I need a place for all these piles...........
Great video keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Now that was fast. You have a nice shop!
I have become pretty efficient at frame swaps but have slowed down in my old age. The shop is only rented. Thanks for watching.
You hard worker - 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You see something promising out of a mess .
Frankentruck -
It’s alive !!!!-
Ah ha haha !!!-
🤠❤️👍🏻👌
Builds character-
And knowledge-
A sense of accomplishment-
Pride !!!-
This wasn't really a mess, now the Mistake truck, THAT was a mess. lol Thanks for the support! I guess the real reason I do this is I like the challenges along the way and having a finished product that shows my challenges were worth it.
vehcor yes sir !!!-
I really enjoyed watching this video, thank you!
Awesome build
Thanks!
Excellent overview, A+
Thanks!
Excellent as always....thank you.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great series! I just picked up a 2008 stripped Escalade from an Auction (they're not paying me so I won't mention their name!) and you have totally convinced me that I can tackle the job! Your videos and audio are clear & perfectly edited! Thanks and I'll be looking forward to watching more of your videos!
How did it turn out?
@@gteixeira It's still sitting, waiting to get worked on!
@@carlscomputers I hope I gave you another heads up for this project lol
Good job! I would buy one of your projects, no problem. I like the attention to detail! Thanks!
Strangely addicted to these videos now lol, I like cars but I've never repaired any, I think it's all the attention to detail,
Keep up the good work as always 😁
P.S if you could find and fix a slightly broken 2004ish ram 1500 double cab, I'd happily pay for it and get it shipped over here 😁
Thanks, I slightly broken Ram??? That should be easy, they are built that way. lol I would have to go to my southern states to get a nice one, those have all rusted away around me! Thanks for the support!
@@vehcor well any cheap-ish double cab truck would be nice 😁
Hey Vehcor, another great video.
Vehcor, so, you are Producer, lead actor, you have support actors, director, editor, writer, lights director, grips, stage manager, casting director, location casting director, best boy, driver, stunt man, extra, set designer, prop master, make up artist, custom designer, photography, composer, etc...no wonder you don't have the time to answer my very important email (well, very important to me)
You also forget, I have a full time job, buy, pick-up, and build all the content you see and a lot you don't, go to the gym and occasionally sleep. So in order to do that I have to prioritize things. TH-cam comments come first (and I am 2 weeks behind on them) because they give me a small benefit and occasionally a good laugh, then IG and then the emails. FB is completely ignored since I don't have time. So why emails last you , you ask? Well the 100 or so emails I get weekly can fall into these categories:
1. Collaborations/sponsorships most of which are not worth the time or I do not like the product.
2. Viewers that want me to build and sell them an unrealistic vehicle at an unrealistic price.
3. Viewers that want me to finish their projects because they are in over their heads.
4. Viewers that want me to estimate their wrecked vehicles because it is easier for them than going to a shop.
5. People (mostly women) that want me to "meet" them. (I have a girlfriend, at least until she reads this!)
6. Viewers that want to ask a question and they don't want the world to know. (Usually to question my TH-cam peers)
I will get to your email when I have time, and see what category you fall into or if you have developed a new one! I don't know that I will recognize your email unless you use the same name. Thanks for watching.
@Mark Stevens I don't farm anything out, I do it all and then A LOT more!
@@vehcor Hey Veh, may I call you Veh, since I don't know your name? ha ha ha J/K. You need to sleep a bit more. It is healthy. I'm impressed you have such a long "reply" answer. My comment had a bit of sarcasm but in all reality and foremost, a lot of admiration. Watching your time lapse video, made me realize that you do the "Video Production" all by yourself. Video and close ups are of highly interesting and high quality. Very enjoyable for a guy like me (mechanical inclined/frustrated mechanic) BTW, America was built by dedicated people that worked their ass off 25/8. So, you, your dedication and hard work, should be an example that to build an audience, likeness and finally followers like me, takes hard work, dedication and lots and lots of a loss trait which is called integrity. (for the uninitiated, integrity is when you do the right thing even when no one is watching. Case in point, the loose ends left in the transmission swap of the GMC Yukon at the dealer. That tech thought, no one will ever find out...and youtube [you] did!!)
I'm looking to buy a new truck. A 2020 or if Spy photos of the 2021 are realistic, a 2021 Ford F-250 when they come out. Based on my purchasing intentions, If something comes along that you rebuild, fix and willing to sell, I would like to have the opportunity to discussed it as a fair business transaction to you and I.
Best regards
Louis Louis
Very cool work man 👍😎
Thanks
I don't blame you I despise red its too common and I swear every single decent car I end up with is freaking red.
Not to mention every time a car has weird issues, it is always red. Red cars are cursed! lol
Holly shit you worked you're ass off for this one !
It was all fun for me, hardly seems like work! Thanks for watching.
It's a first-rate video as always!!
Thanks!
Amazing. Great job. I guess you're not a fan of the Stealer Techs. LOL
Thanks, I lose a little more respect for those guys everyday. lol
The "afternoon crew" seems to spend a lot of time on her phone. But she's there to help which is always nice. Is this Yukon hers?
She does but is always working when she has a task. This was only the first and second time she had ever worked on a car. I thought see did very well. By the end of the second day, she was moving parts and tools to where I would need them before I told her. She is a smart girl......... too smart! lol It is not hers, she has a Scion that I rebuilt when she was 16.
Afternoon crew needs their pay docked with all the phone time spent on snapgrambook.
Those darn Millennials. lol
This looks like the old Keystone Cops movie.
I had to look that up:
*The Keystone Cops were fictional, humorously incompetent policemen, featured in silent film slapstick comedies produced by Mack Sennett for his Keystone Film Company between 1912 and 1917.*
Wait a minute........ are you saying I am an incompetent police officer....... You might be right, I don't have a lot of experience in that field. lol
Those bodyside moldings you put back on are sooo off! But great job on the rest..
Because you were born with a misshapen head and your eyes are in the wrong spots.
@@bluecollartrader1791 ok you dumb hick.... get your eyes checked!
I thought measuring the other side would be enough. Since they are the same height from the bottom of the door all the way across, I don't know how to make them any more "perfect".
@@DavidShamolian Seems like you're the one who needs his eyes checked.
It is really hypnotizing to watch the time lapse of the frame swap. If I understand correctly if you know what to do then to perform a complete swap it takes abt 9 hrs per car. If I would like to drop the frame on a '00 Tahoe to get rid of all the rust it would take abt half a day to drop the frame and another half day to put it back - right?
Thanks, it takes me 8-10 hours to swap a frame depending on the vehicle, the book time is 24-34 depending on vehicle. I have become pretty efficient with lots of experience. If this is your first, plan on being closer to book time. If you are working on it because of rust plan to add time to work around that. Like the bolts that will be seized in all the suspension bushings. lol
@@vehcor Thanks for the info. I bought myself a 2000 Tahoe. And the frame is a bit rusty. I am thinking about cleaning it by myself or letting a specialists to do that.
Excellent as always. I am wondering how far off the frame was when you measured it?
Thanks! th-cam.com/video/v_WiaAEXceY/w-d-xo.html about that much.
I have a maybe sounds ridiculous question for ya? I have an 07 Chevy Tahoe with some extensive frame damage due to right rear control arm breaking of from rail. I'm starting to look for another donar truck. What years will allow me get the same kind of from. Like can I use the frame from an 05-06 frame? (For the rear components)
Good stuff Rich.. slow down your too zipped up on red bull..thanks for sharing
Gotta get work done!
I love your channel! You have mentioned in previous videos about factory measurements that you sometime use when fixing the damaged area. Are those measurements public, or will a dealer provide that information if I called them? Is there a website that has that info? I am guessing that you have access to documentation or a database as you are in the industry. Thanks for all your great videos. Also, anyone can comment as I do appreciate the information. (just in case someone has the info i am looking for, I am working on a 2016 Chevy Trax awd, and need the various front measurements) Thanks
I have not found anywhere that lists them publicly. I get them through the estimating system, frame rack system, Alldata and ICAR. All of which are subscription based. Very expensive for one time use. I always recommend stopping by a shop and offering to purchase a data sheet. Dealers do have repair procedures available but I have never asked if they have measurements.
That was very helpful. I will visit a local shop. Thanks for responding.
What did you guys do about the Freon for the A/C? Was it drained, or does it have to be drained?
I have an 2009 escalade and I want to take the body off to swap it with an classic pickup body . Do you have an idea how long it would take to remove the body on an escalade ?
Hello from Indonesia...
Aryo CountryBoy hows all the earthquakes?? Have felt any?
Greetings from the USA!
@@rods907 Yes, just panic for a while... And "black out" suddenly..
Cant believe u work from a milk crate lol
I have to do the same thing when I work on my Avalanche I have a bent rim from an Isuzu NPR that I use any time I have to work under the hood.
Short people problems. lol
Curious about why you stripped everything off the parts frame, down to the bare steel. Is it so if the owner complains about a sway bar or diff or whatever being bad, they were his to start with, all you changed was the bare frame?
Michael Mackaman the differential parts also had 200000 miles on them as the ones from the accident truck didn’t
I have swapped a lot of frames and you learn early on that sometimes there might only be small changes in parts but to take them back off and fix it further through the process takes a lot longer. It might add an hour to swap all that stuff over but if one thing happens to be different and I don't know until the body is back on, the body could have to come back off. I have had to do just that in the past. I also like to use the lowest mile parts as well, hopefully they will last longer.
Thanks! that makes good sense! love your channel, keep up the good work!
Would have taken the opportunity to go to a really cool color rather than stock red.
Great job nice videos.
one thing I know i will never buy a Chevy GMC ford . they are so cheap made. specialty Chevy NO more every car I had turn bad. my 2014 Traverse is just junk didnt last 100k and is falling a part. every thing is going wrong and I take care my car 100%, so no more USA cars lol
I probably missed you saying, but, who is the young lady helping you every now and then?
His daughter n wife also known as the afternoon crew
There are two of them, one is the girlfriend and the other is the daughter.
@@vehcor O I C
On this complete frame swap, do you do any undercoating on the good frame before it's finished ?
Hopefully he'll chime in but I know he uses Wurth cavity wax on the body and I'd assume he does the inside of the frame too.I think it's shown in the previous video. I personally use Fluid Film and plan on trying the Wurth after I run out. But I do the body and frame inside and out in areas with it. I especially concentrate on fuel and brake lines, nuts and bolts etc more so than just the frame. The lanolin based products are 1 million times better than undercoating. Most of the heavy coatings cause more damage then they help and I recommend avoiding them if at all possible. They trap the salt and moisture inside and wreak havoc on cars.
The frames are coated in wax from the factory so I replace what I disturb. I also coat the fuel and brake lines while the body off but as far as the frame itself, it is well coated from the factory.
@@southjerseysound7340 The frames are coated from the factory. The Wurth wax is very similar to the factory coating kind of a like the lanolin products but thickens up so it won't run or wash out. I used the FF on the Mistake but I don't like it. Too runny and requires reapplication to be effective. You and I both know customers are not going to annually rust-proof their car. lol Heck, I don't even have time for that! I have videos to edit! The rubberized undercoating traps water, so unless you are just protecting a painted surface, it does more harm than good.
How much does something like this cost?
What do you do with the extra parts?
Use them or sell them.
You going to keep the console?
Until someone gives me enough money for it.
@@vehcor you said $400 I just hate the jump seat
In one of your videos you recommended a scanner. I find I need a more advanced one to do an ABS bleed vs my current "read and reset" one. What was the model and version you were using?
The one I used on this truck is just a read and reset like yours. No bidirectional controls.
@@vehcor Thanks....will just roll the dice then and grab one from the net. I don't turn wrenches much anymore but darn those GM brake lines from the early 2000's rust like mad.
You can still bleed them the old school way, it just takes longer.
afternoon crew ? who's the pretty girl helping you?
His daughter.
And do you flush the fluids and put in new fluids in the good Yukon body ? what was wrong with the old frame ?
Midwest truck: about 40% rust.
Bent
Both
It got new antifreeze and brake fluid since the systems were drained. Every one of my vehicles gets an oil change. The third video in the series shows how far off the frame was after the accident. It was also nice to get rid of a little rust as well.
And why are you switching frames.??
Because it is bent. There are a lot of answers in the series.
Do you do free estimates
No
vehcor ok
Did anyone notice The chick in heels
No, not even me and I was there.
