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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
👍👌👏 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.
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 😇
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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?!?! 🤣🤣🤪🤪
"Scott's FORD Emporium" is out of stock due to the Fix Or Repair Daily, or the Found On the Road Dead requirements for that brand. Imagine the parts from Scott's Saturn Emporium. Those parts are out of this world❕😁 Hello from Phoenix Arizona❗🔥
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!
I really appreciate the quality of your work and love of "Grand Am's", The question in my mind is are you making any money saving that car or is it about it saving a "Grand Am" and content creation?
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.

You sure do work hard Scott and you make it look so easy 👍🏻🏴
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🤗😎🤗😎
I wish there were more mechanics with your work ethic. A pleasure to watch.

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.
LOVE These "Regular/Everyday" cars. Especially grand am's. They're cheap, simple, good daily drivers. Keep up the Great Work Scott!!
Always a good Friday with Vechor..Have a good weekend Scott. Stay safe and be well.
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 🤠😂
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
Scott I am glad that you at 18:20 you remembered what AC said , to "lift down" 😁👍

Amount of knowledge you have earned is astounding
Much respect
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!
Man that Scott guy is sure generous. His Emporiums have saved so many of these builds! Great sponsor... he should sell tee shirts. :)
Your channel isn't boring it's taught me alot . THANK YOU Scott
Nice teardown. The car's gonna look great when it's done.
Great video as always!
nice sunday night viewing as always,thank you
Saving those donor parts really paid off. There won't be much left after you are done.
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
I learn more stuff watching how you accomplish your builds. Thank you.
You have definitely done this job a large number of times. Impressive. Thanks for the video.
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 love these Grand-Am's. Great to see Scott saving these old toilets!
Canned hams..lol
You make a good Teacher Scott, everything you do is easily understood 👍
It amazes me to watch you remove just the parts you need from your spare parts emporium.
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 !

What's VEHCOR?
VEH-icle CO-llision R-epair .
I like your videos, all the way from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
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.
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.
outstanding knowledge and experience ... nothing is a "figure out" problem.
I always look forward to your videos.
I will see you again on day 3 of the same day build ☺️☺️☺️
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.
You are fun to watch. You should be an instructor you're that good.
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!
Another excellent video Scott 👍 👍
Never boring and always a 👍🏽
Great job Scott can't wait to watch the rest next week keep up the good work
I miss Mr Spotty
Lov your sponsor!!!! Nice work 👏
Love the work you do. Always the right way
It appears you've done this before. Thanks again for the entertainment.... always interesting!
Not bored, another great Friday, no tears.
The videos where you surgically take apart unibody vehicles are my favorite.
Ah it must be Friday! I hope you have a great weekend @vehcor!
Look forward to your videos every week.
Absolutely Amazing!
Man... great job on that frame rail removal!

I'm personally trying to keep the rust to a minimum on my vehicles here in pa. Just bought black fluid film. Good video
It's fascinating to watch you do this work. I was I had 10% of your knowledge!
Great video! I love watching you work. Im too lazy to do work like that plus being 70

I like watching your TH-cam video.
Pretty interesting!! Thanks for the upload!
i agree with rick, great videos, scott.
Happy Friday Scott and thumbs UP!
Great video. This car deserves a nice paintjob and it will look amazing once finished.
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.

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.
Scott is a WIZARD!
Boring builds are the best builds
G'day mate awesome..man you must know these Grand Am models inside out ..make it look so easy .. cool channel Scott thanks 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
With all the new battery powered tools I miss the sound that air tools make its music to me I love it
vechor, making grand am's great again, one pontiac at a time
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. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Enjoy your vids, always impressive man.
In the South me commonly find that much rust. But it's in a hole in the ground called an iron mine.
Yup some people play the testing the tinsel strength of everything left hooked up game when they pull and engine or transmission.
Scott’s grand am emporium….
We need a Scott’s Car Part Emporium nmerch
"Scott's GMC Emporium: if we don't have it you don't need it"
"Scott's FORD Emporium" is out of stock due to the Fix Or Repair Daily, or the Found On the Road Dead requirements for that brand. Imagine the parts from Scott's Saturn Emporium. Those parts are out of this world❕😁
Hello from Phoenix Arizona❗🔥
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!
I wanna Scott’s Grand Am Emporium T-Shirt. I can’t be the only one… yeah, I probably am.
u do all this in a day scott?
Your videos are awesome!
You should add the Turbo Sockets to your store.
All in one day? Wow.
I really appreciate the quality of your work and love of "Grand Am's",
The question in my mind is are you making any money saving that car or is it about it saving a "Grand Am" and content creation?
cant believe a Grand Am still has enough value to go through all this for re-sell
Feels like I'm in the shop with you sorta'.
Why do you almost never use penetrating oil? I spray Knock 'er Loose on anything slightly rusty before I tackle it with a wrench.
One question, why does it have the 1999-2001 wheels on it? I have a 2002 they changed to some cooler looking wheels that year.
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.
With that little rust, that is like new condition!
Great video,keep it up 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Keep it up love the videos 💯
Good to see you had eye and ear protection, but no biotch mittens 🤣
i would love to drive one of those and the ssei supercharged one id even swap my mondeo tdci for one
Is it next Friday yet...👍
Looks like you done this more than once.
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.
in Belgium is that not permitted, all the frame between the front and rearwheels may not be repaired, nor replaced
but i find it very intresting
