- We are back to working on the 2004 Grand Am GT. Last time we got the outer panels off, this time we will drop the engine and get the parts ready to go on. By the end of this video, I will have two hours invested in the repair. We are still on track for a one day build.

I can’t go to a body shop college but I can take lessons here every Friday 🤠 that’s the kind of online classes that I love to attend 🤠😂
I'm never gonna be a rebuilder, but I have to say that your no-nonsense approach to disassembly and re-assembly has made me feel a lot more confident about pulling my own car apart. I'm always paranoid about breaking clips or other stuff, but you've proven over and over that if you're patient and methodical things will work out OK - it's not rocket surgery.
I miss Mr Spotty
Honesty is the reason why I watch you Channel thanks oh and I like the rebuilds and the way you go about it let them hate her tears keep crying filling up The Jug because you really know what you're doing thanks for the pointers and the tips
Nice teardown. The car's gonna look great when it's done.
You sure do work hard Scott and you make it look so easy 👍🏻🏴
Always a good Friday with Vechor..Have a good weekend Scott. Stay safe and be well.
I can safely say without a doubt that you have been down this road before and know the way back including all the short cuts,thanks for another informative video🤗😎🤗😎
Hey Scott, your channel is very informative and hilarious at the same time. I thoroughly enjoy your content and I honestly do learn by watching you do the repairs. I laughed whenever the pressurized air escaped from the A/C line. All I could think of was hearing the primal scream from the greenie crowd and complaining about how you have damaged the ozone layer while contributing the rising sea levels due to climate change. Looking forward to more of your videos.
It amazes me to watch you remove just the parts you need from your spare parts emporium.
Amount of knowledge you have earned is astounding
Much respect
nice sunday night viewing as always,thank you
I see Scott's Grand Am Emporium carries the special weight reduction rocker panels. Sweet!
Who needs acid dipping? Just drive around Chicago for a couple of years.
The FWD Pontiac Grand Am aka GM N-body has never met a plastic body side cladding it didn't like.
I can see why you can tackle a job like this. Just knowing what needs to come & what stays, learned by doing. I do miss Mr. Spotty though. Is he still lost in shipping? Great video, thanks for sharing.
I always look forward to your videos.
I wish there were more mechanics with your work ethic. A pleasure to watch.
Boring builds are the best builds
Another excellent video Scott 👍 👍
Absolutely Amazing!
I will see you again on day 3 of the same day build ☺️☺️☺️
Never boring and always a 👍🏽
The videos where you surgically take apart unibody vehicles are my favorite.
Again scott you have entertained and taught me, you deserve a diploma for doing that, money would be nicer for you but a diploma is all you’re getting 😇
scott i gotta say you are a far far braver man than me seeing you remove the electronics is exactly why i say some things are better left to the professional's if i had been in that position i would have took one look at that wiring harness and just walked away shaking my head with that little voice in my head saying nope nope not today my friend as always you got the skills to pay the bills ty for the video vechor
Man that Scott guy is sure generous. His Emporiums have saved so many of these builds! Great sponsor... he should sell tee shirts. :)
You are fun to watch. You should be an instructor you're that good.
I love your work man. I've always had a soft spot for the Grand Ams, I used to have a 2004 Grand Am Ram Air G.T....I REALLY miss that car!
LOVE These "Regular/Everyday" cars. Especially grand am's. They're cheap, simple, good daily drivers. Keep up the Great Work Scott!!
Look forward to your videos every week.
👍👌👏 Glad to see and hear that you have a good parts supplier for used car parts. The Scott forklift was impressive too! 😁 ;-)
Best regards luck and health.
I love these Grand-Am's. Great to see Scott saving these old toilets!
Canned hams..lol
See you next week
Great video as always!
Scott I am glad that you at 18:20 you remembered what AC said , to "lift down" 😁👍
Your expertise and experience is clearly demonstrated in this video; but nonetheless, the amount of work is substantial. You've made yourself a little niche business dealing with high volume desirable vehicles. That way, Scott's Emporium is never short of stock and if so, parts are readily available from other outlets. You've obviously been in this business a long time and have clearly learned and established a network along the way. The refreshing thing is, in addition to your dry sense of humor, you didn't descend into becoming a hack or relying on shortcuts.
Lov your sponsor!!!! Nice work 👏
Your channel isn't boring it's taught me alot . THANK YOU Scott
outstanding knowledge and experience ... nothing is a "figure out" problem.
I like watching your TH-cam video.
You always give us the impression of this stuff's just super easy but you've done a couple of these before and it would take a while to get all the stuff that you've taken off that thing including wiring all in a real quick succession like you are the First Time!! Great stuff!
All the best from Surrey BC Canada
Hey next time you do your spot welds would you mind taking a minute or so and explaining and showing us how and why you drill certain ones out and grind others?
I was wondering the same. I can follow along and understand pretty much everything else he does throughout the video but have a pretty loose understanding on the whole drilling spot welds thing probably just because nobody really ever explains it in videos. Maybe they think it’s too boring to watch but I would really appreciate little explanation.
I explained it here: th-cam.com/video/VwUQZh_geGA/w-d-xo.html
@@vehcor thanks. It’s much less confusing now. It shows how much thought you put into replacing parts and gives me even more appreciation for your quality work.
Saving those donor parts really paid off. There won't be much left after you are done.
i agree with rick, great videos, scott.
Scott, I know a guy in Sacramento Ca that is the fastest body man I ever met. One day I was at his shop and he was putting a roof skin on a car and he first removed the skin with an air chisel. What I saw that was different is that he cleaned the channel of all drip sealant exposing the metal all around and he put the new skin right over the old pinch weld without drilling a single spot weld/ He was very sure to remove the paint and iron out any lumps in the weld area. He then welded the new skin on with a contact welder right over the old welds. When he was done you couldn't tell that he had changed the roof and it fit perfectly. His reasoning was that he leaves as many welds as he can because it weakens the areas to remove them. He did say that there are areas that this is not possible but there are many times he could do this where others would drill the weld out. Just thought this was interesting and could save you some time in the future.
Another great video. Always a good time watching you work!
Always nice to see you working on those cars. It is kind of relaxing , beeing a mechanic myself. Slow down a bit , cause I can't win them all. Have a rest and start over again. Thanks Scott !
You make a good Teacher Scott, everything you do is easily understood 👍
vechor, making grand am's great again, one pontiac at a time
I learn more stuff watching how you accomplish your builds. Thank you.
Great video! I love watching you work. Im too lazy to do work like that plus being 70
Good to see you had eye and ear protection, but no biotch mittens 🤣
Scott, I’m always struck by how easy you make the very difficult and time-consuming tasks of disassembly look-your experience and skill are simply amazing. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to record and edit the videos as well, they’re excellent! --Don
I had a grand am i think it was an 85 it was a 4 cylinder, i babied that car and the mechanic told me when he serviced it with the amount of miles on it something was going to happen to the engine, 3 weeks later i was mosquito control and it wouldnt go over 35 mph, the body was solid it was a virginia car, i regret not putting another engine in it.
You have definitely done this job a large number of times. Impressive. Thanks for the video.
Scott "One day build'. Everyone else 'One day build.....in NFL time'. Its cool to watch someone with intimate knowledge that is specific to a make and model work their craft.
Not bored, another great Friday, no tears.
I am also a rebuilder. When i saw that frame rail wadded up I let out a sigh. I have had the same thing happen,where it is damaged way beyond what i was expecting.
WOW a lot of work to get that engine down. I would have broken something that couldn't be replaced. My luck. Thanks for the video. Never boring.
I realize you've been doing this kind of work for a long time, but I just can't seem to see this job as easy. Fun to watch tho, thanks!
Love the work you do. Always the right way
Enjoy your vids, always impressive man.
Your videos are awesome!
I think I speak for every mechanic in Indiana when I say, You can keep your Chicago rust, we have more than we need here in Indiana
Ear protection: yes.
Eye protection: yes.
Not a bitch mitten in sight. 😂
He must have a body double… This isn’t the Scott I know.
Great job Scott can't wait to watch the rest next week keep up the good work
It appears you've done this before. Thanks again for the entertainment.... always interesting!
Pretty interesting!! Thanks for the upload!
Scott is a WIZARD!
With all the new battery powered tools I miss the sound that air tools make its music to me I love it
S-o-o-o-o-o B-o-o-o-o-o-r-i-n-g...
But so good for midday naps at work!
G'day mate awesome..man you must know these Grand Am models inside out ..make it look so easy .. cool channel Scott thanks 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Ah it must be Friday! I hope you have a great weekend @vehcor!
I wanna Scott’s Grand Am Emporium T-Shirt. I can’t be the only one… yeah, I probably am.
All in one day? Wow.
In the South me commonly find that much rust. But it's in a hole in the ground called an iron mine.
It's fascinating to watch you do this work. I was I had 10% of your knowledge!
Another great video
cant believe a Grand Am still has enough value to go through all this for re-sell
This seems a lot of work even for a pro like you who knows what he's doing. I hope you make a good profit on this project. Love watching it indeed.
Just enough rust from Indiana to match the rust from Chicago, eh? But nothing like the rust from western New York where apparently they have a deal with the car companies to spread salt brine on the dirt roads during the summer so that cars and trucks can be covered in salt all year around and not just in the winter. I've seen videos of 10 year old trucks rotted in half.
Happy Friday Scott and thumbs UP!
Great video. This car deserves a nice paintjob and it will look amazing once finished.
Boring? I think not. I’d be in a pool of blood if I tried to do what you do. You can do in 1 video what would take me 6 videos to hopefully accomplish. I’ll stick to Friday afternoons. You are to much fun to watch anyway. See you next Friday.
As someone from the south, I was totally hyperventilating at all the rust!! It's like you were in my mind. 🤯🤯 However, not sure who should be scared more, me or you?!?! 🤣🤣🤪🤪
Who was the new guy? You know, the one wearing eye AND ear protection! ;)
Good
so far so good
The engine and trans removed now the real work can begin.
Yeah you're right. Doesn't look to bad. With the way the factory sections that frame rail. Makes it much easier. Man when you part out a Grand Am Not much goes to waste! That's what I call recycling!
You should add the Turbo Sockets to your store.
Man... great job on that frame rail removal! I have to admit, when I first started seeing the rust I kinda was like seems like he's waisting his time....but obviously you know the value of these things. I'm personally trying to keep the rust to a minimum on my vehicles here in pa. Just bought black fluid film. Good video
Yup some people play the testing the tinsel strength of everything left hooked up game when they pull and engine or transmission.
You make it look so easy but it's not. There's a lot of work and this is not your first rodeo either. Looking forward to the rest. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
back when GM actually put thought into how stuff needs to come apart easy enough to work on it. these generation of GM cars are some of the most easy to work on cars.
i would love to drive one of those and the ssei supercharged one id even swap my mondeo tdci for one
Thanks Scott another how to do it right 😂
Great video,keep it up 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Keep it up love the videos 💯
the car might be boring my friend but your not hehe - always entertaining
