- We will get our final piece welded in, the uni-side. I'll practice removing/installing the doors until I feel I am ready for a Nascar pit crew. Wait, they don't have doors in Nascars? Darn, at least it will look good on my resume. The hard part is done, just assembly left. Well, the bed too but that is easy and a separate job from the rest of the truck. Mr. Spotty was on vacation this week but he will return. Don't worry, he is not "in the pile"!

A true craftsman. It always amazes me when I watch an expert perform his/her profession at how it looks easy. It ain't. Great video.
I have had lots of practice. Thank you for the support!
Love how you don't take shortcuts man, what an inspiration not only for fixing up busted vehicles but life in general.
Thanks and thanks for recognizing the life lesson. People need to realize that there are no shortcuts in life. Put in the work and do it right and things will work out for the best in the long run. Thanks for the support!
I have watched a lot of people...doing "repairs".....body work....but BUT....NONE are like YOU.....so so PROFESSIONAL.....I am Pleased to watch you work....it is ART in Motion!!!
Thanks! I will keep doing my best!
@@vehcor There is a "saying" that I live by...and I THINK you do too. "Good, Better, Best......never let it rest, until your Good is Better and your Better is BEST"!
I have never heard that before but I do like it!
" let me put this door on so I can take it off after I put it on again" 🤣. Sure is looking good and professionally rebuilt.
It is like Bodyshop crossfit! lol
Surely this ones a keeper??Just another reason to love Friday’s.👍👍
Everything is for sale for the right price. lol
I thought as much!!👍
It's great to see you taking the time to remove all the trim rather than just masking it off.
I hate masking so it is an easy choice. lol It might add a 1/2 hour, so why not do it right. Thanks for watching.
Checking door fitment at every step of the welding process is crucial to achieving OEM level gap precision. Even if it means mounting and unmounting the door a whole bunch of times. I’m amazed your back didn’t give you any trouble this time! keep trucking, man. She looks awesome! Came home worn out late at night and saw the notif for the vid. I just had to watch it! It’s therapy!
I learned the hard way a long time ago to check fitment at every step. I had to redo a job that everything measured out but the gaps were off. My back is always good during lifting. It is slight movements in the wrong direction that get me. Thanks for watching.
Your videos always take me back to a prior life. I did like the challenge. It is a lot of work, not just physical, but mental as well. You're doing a fine job sir.
The challenge is the best part. Overcoming problems makes you feel like you accomplished something. Thanks for the support!
Good morning Ron, just got to see the video this morning. Yesterday was stress test at the heart doctor, everything was OK but just whipped. More good looking work. Excellent panel fitment and alignment. You are making real progress on this project. Thanks for another great Friday afternoon video. You take care.
The videos are there for whenever you have time, they are not going anywhere. Good to hear everything is ok! Everything fits with a little patience! Take care of yourself!
Thanks for the series. It's hard to remember that there remain those few individuals who value their art and the outcome. It's apparent you do the job right because that's the right thing to do. Thanks!
Great video bringing to light what most don't see the process of autobody repair. 🙂👍
will f so true all the parts to take apart on the doors
Thanks!
Nice to see how this truck comes together. You are a true proffesional 👍
The hard part is done. It won't be long before it is finding new dirt! Thanks for the support!
You get more done by mistake than most others do on purpose. This is as exciting as the first black truck. Keep up the unmatched work!!!!
I tend to be pretty efficient after years of practice. Thanks for the support!
Great job, looking forward to seeing the next segment. 👍👍👍
Thanks, coming this Friday!
i watch a lot of sci channel black hole type shows about the wonders of the universe and freaky space time theory stuff and i must say you really are a one man earth wonder i truly enjoy to watch
I have had lots of practice at this cars stuff. lol Thanks for watching!
Ohhhh I’ve been looking forward to this video!!!
Thanks for the support!
Remembering where and how all those parts come off and then remembering how they would go back on, gives me a headache. You are the man! Great video!
After you have taken a few apart it is pretty easy. Thanks for the support!
Amazing how much has changed working on vehicles since the 50's and 60's
Heck, they are very different from the early 2000s. They change so fast nowadays.
My Friend I learned my craft from a guy just like you. Pride in his work and his name meant more then him turning a huge profit. As far as your skills your in the top 5 of guys I’ve worked with and I got my start in the 80s. Your craftsmanship is on point! Unfortunately the insurance industry
Has turn most shop owners into hacks who cut corners and steal parts because insurance company labor rate is a joke here in Massachusetts
But any way nice job
Thanks and I agree with your statement! It is sad but true. Thanks for the support!
Fastest door changer in the Midwest. It's such fun taking doors apart. I've been taking dashes apart lately. Rewiring a mistake flood car i got.
I like taking them apart, they are so easy compared to the 70s and 80s cars. Dashes always suck though. I don't know why but I just never liked them. Good luck with your flood victim!
Wow...your attention to detail is impressive once again. Whoever ends with your finished products truly get a thorough job of craftsmanship, and damned fine vehicles.
Thanks, that is why I have so many repeat customers and referrals.
Another great episode !
Thanks!
Enjoy your builds great description of what your doing and why. Oh yeah Truck Truck Truck!
Thanks, glad you like the Truck Truck Truck. lol
Fantastic video mate as always lots of great content and interesting information thanks for the great video
And no music I love it
👇🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Great video! One of my favorite things about Friday is your video upload.
Thanks! I'll keep the weekly schedule as long as I can. It is a little hectic sometimes but I like a challenge. Thanks for the support!
Wow, thats getting done correctly, no short cuts. Nice work! Looking forward to more.
Correctly is the ONLY way to do it. New video this Friday! Thanks for watching.
You make the best how to videos, very detailed.
Thanks, glad you like them.
Sad I have to wait another week to see the next video. Excellent video as always
Once upon a time you had to wait a month for my videos. lol Thanks for watching!
That would be hell. Great videos keep up the great work
That is an excellent Job! Wow
Thanks!
I just did a color change on a 2019 Duramax 2 door(white to tan). Completely disassembled the body. Easy truck to disassemble and reassemble, but those belt mouldings were a bear until I noticed the clips. Nice work and I really like how you explain how things come apart and don't just tear stuff up.
The simplicity of repair is why I prefer GM over other brands. I have to work on my own vehicles after all. lol Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for your videos! You do it Right! Hope your back is better.
No problem, thank you for watching! It is getting back to "normal".
Who knew there were that many parts in a truck door. You need a lot of patience for this work. I have none. So, Lord, give me some patience ... ... and I want it RIGHT NOW!!!
These are actually not as bad as the older cars with frameless windows. So many stops and guides in addition to all the other stuff. Plus most was riveted in. What a pain. I'll take these any day. lol
I started with the first video and couldn’t stop.
That's what they are here for. lol I'll keep them coming to feed your addiction. Thanks for watching!
Great work man, I´am from BRAZIL, you is the lord of the truck, congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks and greeting from the USA!
Hey Scott. Brilliant idea to use the contoured cutoffs from the rocker panel as a backing plate to the butt weld seams. Helps to keep things aligned as well. I was thinking a backing plate makes it stronger but I probably would have used straight metal instead. Nice tip!
The Dirtnali has came a long way! A very well done repair! Better than OEM quality! Already looking forward to the next video!
It is getting closer to the road..... or more dirt with every video! Thanks for the support!
You’re very good. With what you do! Great job!
Thank you very much!
I'm a painting contractor and not a gear head but I look forward to watching your videos. Subscribed to your channel a year ago and have much respect for your craftsmanship.
I am glad to hear it and glad you are with us! Thanks for the support!
Great job as usual! Those splice tabs are a great idea. You've motivated me, I found a set of fenders and drivers door ,same color as my truck and swapped them this weekend. I may do the rockers, well maybe!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, good to hear. Don't get too ambitious, rusty rockers are no fun. lol Good luck on the project. Thanks for the support!
Excellent vid! As always EXCELLENT WORK AND CRAFTSMANSHIP! Glad to see the back is doing better. Always a treat to see another true craftsman at work in his/her chosen profession. Makes me sad there is no one to pass along the knowledge to.
Thanks, the back is getting there. It is enough to allow me to work and keep me from going crazy in the house. I thought the same way but I do get comments from a few of the next generation that is interested in learning and are hard working. Maybe there is hope! Thanks for the support!
I’m loving the truck already 👍👍👍👍
Me too and that is just driving it around the shop half disassembled. lol
This Content Speaks For Itself!! Always a Pleasure Learning as We Go.. Till Next Chapter....
Thank you!
Another great video. Can't wait for Friday!
Thanks! New one this week as well!
I am always impressed by you're work ,its too notch, can't wait to see it completed !
Thanks, I can't wait to be pulling my trailer with it!
This is professional body work.
Thanks!
Dang man getting work done!!! I am just amazed by your skills!!! I can not wait to see it done!
It comes with years of practice. I can't wait to be pulling a trailer with it! Thanks for the support.
Very well done Sir, keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Ten minutes last night fell asleep woke and finished it over breakfast GREAT stuff
Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California
It is hard watching me work for so long. lol Watch them at whatever pace works for you!
Another Amazing rebuild.!
Thanks!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Dirtnali... that's awesome..had me laughing out loud all night. Awesome work.. thanks a ton as always for sharing
I'm clever like that sometimes. lol Thanks for the support! The Dirtnali will be earning its name this week as well!
Good work. Take care of that back! Looking forward to the finished paint.
Thanks, I am trying to take it easy on the back.
Thank You for another great video, I always look forward to your new videos and adventures. Keep up the good work!
No problem, thanks for the support!
The way your were talking at the rear door adjustment is me in my head every day bahaha
Sometimes you nail it, sometimes you adjust it 10 times and make it worse each time. lol Part of the fun I guess!
Nice truck enjoyed watching keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Turning out great especially considering how it started out can't wait to see the finished product
Thanks, it is getting closer every day. Thanks for watching.
amazing skilled person with the knowledge of all those cars and parts 1000% respect,thank u 4 sharing
I really enjoy your work and videos....
Thank you!
I am wore out after watching this...don't realize how many parts/steps to this process...nice work
Me too! How does this guy do it? lol Thanks for watching!
I've never seen a major repair done ... but you caught my attention this is damn near art work
Nice job
I actually would not call this major. I have done far more complex. Check out my Enclave video. Thanks for watching.
Great video, i cant wait to see it finished.
Thanks, I cannot wait to pull a trailer with it!
Having done this type of work as well as video how to’s its commendable how much work and effort went into this series. Thankfully the reward was your own nice truck but man lots of work, I think the editing and camera work prob doubled the labor time. Great job on that truck and nice truck
You are correct, the filming and editing take longer than the actual work. It was a nice break but it is turning into more of a job at this point. We'll see how much longer I can make it. I set goals I want to reach, after that, who knows. This has been the best truck I have ever owned. 8k miles on it since the rebuild and no complains other than I wish it had a sunroof. Thanks for watching.
@@vehcor I have been doing this same crap my entire life, I can't believe I actually watch someone else doing it in my free time... I realized it's entertaining because it gives you the same sense of satisfaction without actually having to labor.
Maybe, I don't have any free time to watch others though so I can't be sure! 😂
Really nice work. I enjoy the more step by step approach!!!
Thanks, I like these videos better than the time lapses as well. Thanks for watching.
Master yoda👍
:)
As always, 👏 good job...
Thank you!
Great job as always
Thanks!
Another reason to look forward to Friday’s
Thanks for your support!
I dig the trick for a backing of the welds
Actually, I was taught that way back in the beginning of my ICAR training. It takes more time but yields better results.
*AWESOME TRUCK - DURAMAX for the WIN!!!!*
Thanks, the L5P is the best Dmax yet in my opinion. Well, minus the stupid emissions of course!
Those tow mirrors are nice. We have a set on a base model truck at work. Perfect for seeing the bed (it has a stakebody bed on it thats wider than the truck)
These mirrors are awesome. Power folding and the lights in them are great for lighting up EVERYTHING behind you when backing up or loading the truck in the dark. They work pretty good for towing as well. lol
Ahh you got the fancy ones lol I got manual folding ones. They are great though. I can back into a tight space easy.
Great video...as always.
Thank you!
Its pretty cook when your biggest fan comes to see you at the paint shop! lol
He follows me everywhere, especially when it is hot. lol
Tshirt idea "put it in the pile!" Lol
They are coming soon. Thanks for watching.
Love how he explains as he goes on reparing
That was the suggestion of viewers, I just listened. Thanks for watching.
nice time making sure it was sealed and rust proofed as well as u could keeping it like factory sealed.
i feel for your back issues, i broke mine on a sled going way to fast, i use to build my own and work at dealerships painting cars before becoming paralized and enjoyed watching u work.. good job!
One of my back injuries came from sledding but not the powered kind. Just the plastic kind and bad timing mixed with speed. I would rather spend a few extra minutes than hours fixing it later. Thanks for watching.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS,ITS AMAZING,THE BEST THAT I LIKE THAT YOU WORK IN NORMAL CARS
GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA
Thanks, I sell what I build and I'm not here to be famous so I do the average, everyday cars. Thanks for watching! Best wishes from the USA!
Very thorough. Almost OCD!
Thanks, nothing wrong with an OCD repair. lol
Great video as always
Thanks!
I still don't understand why I watch your videos, it's just like being at work.
Don't let him fool you folks, this stuff isn't easy. The hours it takes to do one project like this are pale in comparison to the hours of experience it takes to be able to do a project this well.
That and many hours with a pick 😉
It is fun to see the work from a different perspective. I personally watch SMA and Eric does exactly what I do everyday, almost the exact same way. I still find it entertaining. There is always someone doing your job a different way that you never thought of. Thanks for the support!
You are the Door Man!!!! Just the thought of disassembling a vehicle door makes me hyperventilate....
They are not that bad. Now the 70s and 80s doors, THEY were bad. lol
great content and gonna be a sweet ride, might want to show it off at a local GMC dealer next to new ones......................
It will get shown off before it goes to work but not at the dealer....... in its natural habitat!
@@vehcor aw. I'd go and park it out front and say what a SAVINGS I had buying salvage..BTW what did the rig finally cost after repairs????
Spot on work please look after your back. Kenny.
Thanks, it is getting a little break soon. Thanks for the support!
I had to buy some panle bond & damn its expensive but i know its worth it great job man i see it as motivation !
Yeah, it is not cheap and they are using it more and more these days. The only thing worse is the stupid foam! lol Thanks for the support!
Panel bound is to make a water tight seal like where the roof is yea you can weld it all up but at the sametime Warp the hell out of it doing so
It's amazing the attention to detail. This project (since part 1) bought me here, that's why I'm subscribed. Would love to watch this kind of work done in an aluminium truck (F series, any). Congrats, the truck looks really amazing and sure is a really useful tool!
Thanks, glad to have you with us. I will be working on an aluminum truck eventually since they are all headed that way. I can't wait to see how it pulls my trailer. Thanks for watching.
@@vehcor Thanks for the amazing content! Looking forward to learning a little bit.
Cool stuff man 👍😎
Thanks!
My favorite build channel
Thanks, I'll keep trying to hold the title!
You are doing great job with truck and video 👍
Thank you!
Those doors are so heavy crazy you can take them by yourself
I can lift quite a bit for a little guy.
Do it right the first time. Mark of a true craftsman. There are lots of short cut and it seems that the road that a lot of rebuilders take and it shows. Theyre not even good at sweeping floors either and it shame they're allowed to continue.
she's coming together pretty good
Soon it will be ready to find new dirt!
@@vehcor lol can't wait to see when it's done like the sense of humor
Nice work!
Thanks!
I always look forward to your videos, I just ordered a t shirt from you. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for your support! Enjoy the t-shirt! Have a great week as well!
Looks good man!
Thank you!
I pretty sure it has been said here before in the comment section but I'm going to say it again: Damn fine work Mr! You should be teaching a class on rebuilds.
Thanks, this is kind of like a free on-line class. lol
Great work your channel great
Thank you!
If or when I need to put a vehicle in a body shop I'm going to ask that they document the work like your videos, so I know the work is done right! You are the man, you have skills! 100K subs is going to happen.
Those doors, you like abusing your back.
A bodyshop that records all repairs. that is not a bad idea. I wonder how many shops would be willing to document everything. Thanks for the support. Removing the doors doesn't bother my back but sneezing..... that is a whole different story. lol
Cool video, thank you!
Thanks and thank you for watching.
Good content good content 👏🏼
As always 💕
Thank you!
Great job
Thanks
great videos,keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Pin the door once by drill a 1/8 or #30 drill bit and only fit it once. Tip I learned a long time ago..
This truck had enough extra holes, I don't want to add more.
