This is the kind of video I like to watch.. He narrates what he is doing... He is professional, and not just looking to be the top dog on youtube.. I see this channel hitting a million in the not so distant future... Keep up the good work, let that back rest....
Thanks, the TH-cam thing is just a hobby for me, not a job. My job is the rebuild itself. I don't know about 1 million. I set the goal of 100k, never thinking I would reach it though. If I make the 100k I will have to focus on the 1,000,000. Thanks for the support!
Thanks, now get back to work. lol I do tend to work slower on my garage projects. The time constraints of the shop help motivate me. Thanks for watching!
You take the tear down to the basics for sure! No wasted motion no fighting it just cut the bad stuff out. A true craftsman at work! Won't be long till the Dirtnali is back on the road. Hope your back it better soon. Looking forward to the next video.
Just strip away layer by layer until you get to the good parts and build out from there. Some pulling along the way but those are the basics. Once the cab is done, the rest is easy and will go quick. I cannot wait to drive it. Thanks for watching!
Good afternoon Scott, now thats real progress. And a lovely lady to help you. I like your homemade frame machine, who knew a forklift could be so versatile. Lots of sheet metal pieces. I have found this to be the best way to tackle a job like this. Thanks for now. Take care.
Lots of trimming our way to victory! That forklift probably has as much frame time as the Car O Liner bench. Lol. I could not have finished the day without my assistant. She helped clean up the shop and put my mess of tools away as well! Have a good one!
Of all the content creators who do this work. I must say that I enjoy your craftsmanship more than any of them. Both your skill in automotive repair as well as videography for the work being done. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I have lots of practice at the work itself. I am still learning the video end of it but hopefully improving with every video. Thanks for the support!
With the day I was having, it was a nice surprise that the door fit. I knew I still had some fine pulling to do so it was better than expected. Thanks for the support!
Really appreciate the approach you take to your content. Production and editing focuses first on the project and information and less on personal flair and entertainment at the expense of educational value. What you do is meat & potatoes and not cheesy frosting. You give the viewer a just few jokes and some humorous one-liners to keep it interesting. Well-done... glad I found your channel.
That pretty much sums up what I was trying to achieve. Good to know I finally got there. I can't take all the credit, I did use a lot of viewer suggestions to get to this format. Thanks for watching and glad to have you with us!
The build will only take more time because you care. I know your back is hurt too, but it’s just your character as one of the best techs I’ve ever seen.
Your back going out hit home man. Just threw my back out for the second time this year. I still think my late 30s body is having more fun in life than my late 20s body so I’m ok with it.
Man, I have been watching some other 'wrecked build' video's, and even some barn finds and other car video's. I have to say, they all pale in comparison. Who wants to watch 3 videos 25 minutes long each, of someone rebuilding a carb and talking about how cool the car is, or driving for 3/4 of EVERY video while enjoying the sound of their own voice? You, my man, show GREAT video's, kind of how-to and a LOT of knowledge being handed down. I know you asked in the (fast forward?) video if its too long, or should you do other stuff, and I dont think you should, and that video was just about too long, but not really because you still showed EVERYTHING you did to it (mostly), and it was FUN. Most youtube video's are just tongue wagging. Yours are almost perfect. Cant wait to see how this one turns out!
You are the best on You Tube - absolutely love your style - relaxed commentary - professional informative and, best of all, NO STUPID MUSIC - your subs should be higher. Wish others would learn from you. Much respect for you friend. Please keep it going!
Using the meat hook for a panel puller attachment brought back memories of when I was a trucker and hauled countless loads of 'swinging meat'. Nice to see you've got your own version of Wilson to keep yourself from going crazy....
Amazing videos, guy like you are what inspire high schoolers like myself to tackle bigger and bigger projects instead of taking it to the shop cause "Someone else will do it better than I will". Thanks for the great content.
Thanks, I am glad I can inspire people. Push your limits and you will be that expert people are going to! No one will ever do it better than a person that is truly in it for the love of the work! Good luck!
I feel you on the back issues, man. Just got home from work and popped a few Aleve. Been a long week, glad it's Friday. Rest up, get back at it when you can.
Aleve helps enormously for me. So does laying on the couch but I get bored easily so that might be worse. Thanks for the support! Hope your back gets better as well!
I understand completely about the back. I hurt mine almost 10 years ago at work. It's never been the same since. I'm sure this was recorded awhile back But take it easy and you'll be back in the game. Project looks great. Great job as always. Thanks for sharing these with us!
There are many more people than I realized with back issues! Not a good club to be in! Luckily I was a little ahead of the videos so I was able to take a couple weeks and still get videos out weekly. It is better but still not right, but at least I can work again. Thanks for the support!
C6-T1 and L3-L5 issues here bud, I get it. Two things that help, stretching/light yoga, and inversion. Once there is a bulged disc, there's pretty much no going back. But you can alleviate the issues by taking those few preventative steps. good luck!
Sorry to hear you are a member of the horrible, bad back club. I do a lot to prevent it but sometimes it just says enough is enough. I have been dealing with this issue for 15 years and have gotten incidents down to about 4 a year from monthly when it first happened. Take care!
@@vehcor Thanks buddy, prevention is key. But recognizing when its about to get bad is paramount too. Looks like thats the approach you took this time lol. Its been about 10 years for me. Its the second worst pain I've had. Inside my shoulder looks like a pirate ship with all the anchors and rope holding it together lmao. It what it is. Downtime just gives me a chnce to watch your content (and interact with ads so you can get paid). Keep up the good work, take care of yourself though!
well you just take care of that back and we will look forward to the next episode of 'Dirtnali'. You definitely have British sense of humour style and I just smile all then way through. As always love the quiet understatement and little 'asides'... Take care fellah.
I did have some time to catch up on the editing so I can get some work done when my back decides it is over its little tantrum. I don't know where I got my humor from, maybe Monty Python. Thanks for the support!
I can relate to the back issues - hope you get past it soon. My favorite tool is the spot-weld drill-out thing, whateveritscalled. Also, for what it's worth, the sped up time lapse of spreading/pulling metal and body panels are awesome.
Sorry to hear so many people are in the bad back club with me. :( It took some getting used to but I like the spot weld drill now. When you speed it up, you can see the little changes much faster! I like it as well. Body repair for people with ADD. lol Thanks for watching.
The belt hides a lot. lol It was the only thing that allowed me to stand somewhat upright. I have lots of practice with my bad back so I have gotten pretty used to ignoring it. Thanks for the support!
It is usually 3 days and a fourth as a precaution. This one is a lot longer but luckily I was ahead on the videos so they will still be weekly! Thanks for the support!
Sorry to hear you tweaked your back. Hope it feels better soon! I would have never guessed that collision repair went that deep under the surface. Just thought it was got "close" with a few hammers, then mudded. Always enjoy watching your work! Thanks!!
Yeah, it happens. There are a lot of the "get it close and mud it" guys. These are the ones that give rebuilders and bad name. To to it right takes a lot of effort. There is still more trimming and fine tuning to go. Thanks for watching!
I forgot all about that movie until you guys reminded me. No blood required to make my friend but the job usually requires a blood sacrifice at some point. Lol
When you were pulling that back glass I knew that was bad news waiting to happen... You can't rush your recovery! The truck won't go anywhere and neither will we. We're looking forward to another vid, but get well first!
It is anyone's guess when my back will give up. This is the first time it was caught on film. I have messed it up with a sneeze and even just reaching for the garage door button. Ironically, I have never hurt it while lifting anything heavy. The truck not going anywhere is the problem for me, I need to get it done. It is usually a 4 day recovery, this one is going to be a lot longer. It won't affect the videos, new one tomorrow. Thanks for the support!
@@vehcor Same with me--sneeze check, turned around too fast, check-- I have found putting on heating belt immediately can turn it from 4 days into 2 days.
I was a body man for about 15 yrs. and my lower back was so bad when I got out of it but after around 5 years my lower back was healed up. You're still relatively young though so if you don't already get a chiropractor. Have you ever used a TENS unit? It's what a chiropractor uses in his/her office a lot of times but they sell them on Amazon for around $35 but it helped my back and shoulder pain a lot. Nice to see someone that takes pride in their work in the industry, as I'm sure you know it's rare as hens teeth, case in point the butcher and crook that you got the "mistake" truck from. Great vid, keep up the great work.
I have been dealing with the back for about 15 years now. I have tried everything but surgery and that is a last resort for me. I wish more people were into fixing cars because they enjoy it and not because they think they can make a quick buck. The doctoring on the parts cab was shady as well but that is what that dealer in known for. Thanks for the support!
Again, you just make it look all so easy! If only I had the patience and know how to do the body work on my 1972 GMC cab. Another great video, keep up the great work! Cheers! 🍻
You make it look so easy like the head panel. Funny I saw the other video when you removed the bed. Well yesterday I was putting stuff in the bed and kept hearing metal rattling sound. Under the tail lights the metal just folds over no welds or caulking
Trust me the headliner is mostly video editing. I had to cut out the 30 minutes I struggled with the wires. lol Some of those bed sides are like door skins, just folded over. They use so many different methods these days. A lot of quarter panels on cars are moving in the door skin style direction as well.
Dude I feel you on the back issues. I herniated a disc when I was 30 and have been dealing with it for the past 27 years. You know you've done it....a little "erk" and goddam not again. Another time I was out for 5 weeks cuz I SNEEZED. Have you tried yoga? I haven't as yet but a buddy of mine who also has a bad back did it and he said ever since he hasn't thrown his out. Going to have to try it one of these days. Shit man, saw you wince putting the door on....fuck I felt that from here. I was working in Denver one time and went to lift up a ladder, threw it out. Caused muscle spasms that were so bad they'd pull my face and lower lip out of whack. The customer was talking to me when a spasm hit and she freaked. She sent me back to the hotel and liased with me and the crew.
I screwed mine up today cranking a weedeater for my sister. I knew it when it happened. Then I started sneezing from the cotton wood blowing around. Talk about a pitiful evening.
@@doughboy1966 I've done that too. The twisting action. Specially if it's a little cool out. When I worked construction I'd tend to wear heavier sweaters/shirts than needed. Coworkers commented on it and I'd say "warm muscles are harder to damage".
You should try plasma injection. My brother did it and his back is much better now. Not prefect but he was so bad he had no feeing in his left leg from the collapsed disk and he’s back to work now with little pain now and then if he over works it.
The first time I had a problem was in my late 20s. I have sneezed my back out as well. My favorite was reaching up to press the garage door button. No lift, no stress just the wrong twist at the wrong time. Ironically I have never hurt it when actually lifting things. I guess I just need to always be lifting! I do a lot of stretching, part of my gym routine. It helps but with a couple collapsed discs, arthritis from all the injuries and degenerative disc disease, there is not much I can do to stop it. My biggest problem is I still try to work like I did 20 years ago. After putting in 18 hours the day before, my back was tired. I should have rested instead of working. I like to get it all done in one weekend though. It is time to rethink my scheduling. Putting the door on required the belt just to stand up, as well as laying on the floor for 45 minutes and a few aspirin. I literally could not have done it without the little one's help.
Your videos are fantastic I only watch 2 people, you and aurthur, Thank u very very much You do magic to all your vehicles, Nice to see a young person with so much talent and knowledge
Love the trick about getting it out the door for the headliner, I have been pulling the back window which is a pain, but now that I have seen you get it out the door , I hopefully will see no more rear windows being pulled in my future. Now I need you to show pulling fender liners in the front pain free ( I hate doing them they can be such a PITA to get back in in some trucks ( yes Fords come to mind ). Remember the oid days when dashes never had all the electronics they do these days and how easy those were to pull, makes a guy misty eyed just thinking about it... not like that anymore...lol nice work, you have been at this a looong time you make it look like a piece of cake
They don't always fit out the door but I always try before I start removing glass. The console and seats have to be out for it to work on these. It will be going back in through the back window though. No real body tech has ever liked wheel liners! 😂 They always suck, I procrastinate all the time when it comes time to put them in, taking them out isn't as bad. Aftermarkets are the worst, they suck AND they never fit just right! Thanks for watching!
Sorry to hear that. I have been trying to slow down but it is hard when you are used to working a certain way. It is very hard to accept that you cannot do what you used to. Thanks for watching.
oh man hands down for you and your work 🙌🏼👏🏻 , i used to work at a bodyshop in Miami as a mechanic , and the atrocities that i saw there by the bodymans were pretty crazy , there’s no comparison , i wish any of those guys did at least the half of the job that you do in all your videos, keep the good work brother, this type of skills is really appreciated in the long run , i just subscribed when u bought the mistake truck and i’m always waiting for your next video , have a good weekend 👍🏼
I have seen some pretty scary stuff! 😳I do it because I like the work, money is not my primary motivation, that is the difference. You guys are also great motivation. Thanks for your support, it is very much appreciated!
The first video I saw was the trailer repair. I thought any bozo can fix a trailer. Now I've seen this rebuild and know that you are no bozo. So many tips I will be using going forward. Smiley face tape makes so much sense. 55 and have a bad back too. Bought a lift. Good money in autobody repairs. Thanks so much!
@@vehcorI had heard those stories also, but unfortunately I had no choice. I ended up in a wheelchair prior to the surgery as I was hunched at the waist and unable to stand or walk without a cane. Thankfully all went well, but i stll need to be mindful of the potential for reinjury. Hope everything works out for you also, as I have become a custom to these videos!
Sorry to see you have a bad back, must make this a hard job sometimes! And it interferes with gym time too... Love your attention to each and every defect and dent, you leave no steel unturned, being a perfectionist is great, even more so when it means safety in the long run too!
The worst part about the injury is the recovery. I hate sitting still by the second day I am going nuts! I do take a few days off of the gym but I have found that going can actually make things better, faster. You just have to know your limits. I just do the job the right way instead of the cheapest way, a lesson some people have not learned just yet. Thanks for the support!
5:58 - about cutting...I believe Tom Anderson (of Beavis and Butt-head fame) said it best " You know, it's not what you cut... it's what you don't cut."
Man ..I’ve been watching your truck rebuild like a Netflix series..You do some damn good work, Glad I found your channel , Keep up the good work brother 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are truly the opposite of the Goonzquad. I enjoy both. Bad back? You are human. I thought you were just a car restoring machine. I hope you feel better soon.👍
They make videos and fixing cars is the byproduct. I fix cars and videos are the byproduct. Two different business models on the same platform. We all do what works best for us. There is plenty of room for all of us here. I like their videos as well. I still might be a machine, just a heavily abused one in total disrepair. lol Thanks for the support!
Know all about the bad back thing. Mine gets to a point where it's like a stiff neck along the entire left side of my back and I'm done for a few days. LIke you said, sucks getting older. See ya on the next video!
"... in the pile." This going to become my mantra for anything useless, like politicians, personal injury lawyers, estate agents, and other latte sipping oxygen theives. As always, thanks for making making me laugh while I learn. Keep up the great work, and make sure you take care of your back!
We have lots more metal to throw in the pile with the politicians and all the others. Although, I can at least get something from the scrap yard for the metal, it might actually be more useful than your list. lol Better make two piles! Thanks for the support! Oxygen thieves! lmao
Don't know what your exact situation is with your back but if you are not already doing so i highly suggest a good chiropractor to get you back in shape once again so you can do the thing you want to do with little or no pain!!! And as always great videos and builds, always good to see things done right!!! Hope you get to feeling better quickly!!!!
I hate that belt, it reminds me how out of control bulking season gets. lol 6 notches moves to 5 then 4 then enough is enough, I can't go to 3. Suck it in, you can't eat if you can't breathe, right! lol
Oh one question? How many times has your thumb been squished by that slide hammer.... I was in Morocco once and I saw this herdsman castrating a camel with two bricks. I was slightly concerned so I asked him if it hurt. He just said 'No as long as you you keep your thumbs out'
damn i felt bad at the end of the video watching you stand up slowly. I know how it feels back pain when working on cars. something some people will never understand lol. good content. liked.
Oh Brother I feel your pain in the back. Mine has made me go to my knees and people thought that I was just laughing at something that they said and actuality it felt like I was dying....
Sees a new Vehcor video, grabs a hot cup of coffee, clicks "Like", sits back, and enjoys! Love your humor. Great video. Thanks.
I grabbed more than A coffee
MoldingPro i’m always do the same thing , i click like first cause i know is always good content
I couldn’t agree more..I’ve been watching his rebuilds like a Netflix series 😂
Thanks! I am glad to share the experience with you guys!
This is the kind of video I like to watch.. He narrates what he is doing... He is professional, and not just looking to be the top dog on youtube.. I see this channel hitting a million in the not so distant future... Keep up the good work, let that back rest....

Your surgeon-like precision with these builds is pretty admirable. I love it when you make them bc it keeps me motivated to work on my project.
Thanks, now get back to work. lol I do tend to work slower on my garage projects. The time constraints of the shop help motivate me. Thanks for watching!
Always amazing to watch your process. Hope your back is better soon.
Thank you for the support.
Again, your wizardry amazes me! I have faith I would be able to get it all apart but putting it back together is a very different project.
Same!
Thanks. I am hoping I can get it back together! It is a little late to turn back now! Lol
You take the tear down to the basics for sure! No wasted motion no fighting it just cut the bad stuff out. A true craftsman at work! Won't be long till the Dirtnali is back on the road. Hope your back it better soon. Looking forward to the next video.

@@agger838 Thanks!
This is great!Can't believe how you can bring a truck back to life that was damaged that much.Awesome!
Thanks, this one was not really all that bad. The work just takes time to do it properly. Thanks for watching.
"Just struggle..." A necessary step in every weekend project.
The struggle is just part of the fun! Lol
So sorry about your back! After watching all the physical stuff you do, I never would have thought.
Yeah, the physical stuff might be a big reason for the bad back. lol Thanks for the support!
Thanks Scott! Hope the back heals up quickly. Looking good. Nobody but you was surprised the door was close. You know exactly what you’re doing!

Using the meat hook for a panel puller attachment brought back memories of when I was a trucker and hauled countless loads of 'swinging meat'. Nice to see you've got your own version of Wilson to keep yourself from going crazy....
The hook is great for the quick rough pulls. I made my version of Wilson a little too late. I was already crazy before he came along. lol
I used to have back problems, then I got an inversion machine and swear by it. No more back problems!
I did a lot of damage when I was younger. There are a lot things that help but nothing will truly fix it.

Yeah, it happens. There are a lot of the "get it close and mud it" guys. These are the ones that give rebuilders and bad name. To to it right takes a lot of effort. There is still more trimming and fine tuning to go. Thanks for watching!
Yellow sticky smiley ... vehcor's version of Wilson, just less blood. :o)
Loved that that was good one. I wonder how many said WILSON WHO ?? I agree getting old sucks BUT it's better then the well you know.
I thought of Wilson too, but you beat me to by 11 hours
I forgot all about that movie until you guys reminded me. No blood required to make my friend but the job usually requires a blood sacrifice at some point. Lol
I see you have met Wilson’s cousin, Benson.
@@erikv86 his name is Post-it!!
When you were pulling that back glass I knew that was bad news waiting to happen... You can't rush your recovery! The truck won't go anywhere and neither will we. We're looking forward to another vid, but get well first!
It is anyone's guess when my back will give up. This is the first time it was caught on film. I have messed it up with a sneeze and even just reaching for the garage door button. Ironically, I have never hurt it while lifting anything heavy. The truck not going anywhere is the problem for me, I need to get it done. It is usually a 4 day recovery, this one is going to be a lot longer. It won't affect the videos, new one tomorrow. Thanks for the support!
@@vehcor Same with me--sneeze check, turned around too fast, check-- I have found putting on heating belt immediately can turn it from 4 days into 2 days.
I was a body man for about 15 yrs. and my lower back was so bad when I got out of it but after around 5 years my lower back was healed up. You're still relatively young though so if you don't already get a chiropractor. Have you ever used a TENS unit? It's what a chiropractor uses in his/her office a lot of times but they sell them on Amazon for around $35 but it helped my back and shoulder pain a lot. Nice to see someone that takes pride in their work in the industry, as I'm sure you know it's rare as hens teeth, case in point the butcher and crook that you got the "mistake" truck from. Great vid, keep up the great work.
I have been dealing with the back for about 15 years now. I have tried everything but surgery and that is a last resort for me. I wish more people were into fixing cars because they enjoy it and not because they think they can make a quick buck. The doctoring on the parts cab was shady as well but that is what that dealer in known for. Thanks for the support!
Again, you just make it look all so easy! If only I had the patience and know how to do the body work on my 1972 GMC cab. Another great video, keep up the great work! Cheers! 🍻
Thanks! New video today, actually. Thanks for watching!
Damn bud hope your back gets better soon enjoying this build and wishing I had the skill set you have ! Rest up my friend!
It is getting better.... slowly. Much slower than I like! Thanks for the support!
I felt your pain when your back went out. It truly does suck getting old.
Yes, I want to cancel my membership to the bad back club!
sorry about your back.... hope you have a speedy recovery...
It happens, getting a little better. Enough to work so that is what matters to me! Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the video, I hope you'll get better soon!
No problem, it is taking a little longer than usual but it gives me some editing time. Thanks for the support!
I know your pain. When I feel my back go it's usually the next morning i can't get out of bed.
I was struggling to get TO the bed. lol We won't even talk about the next few days. :( Take care of your back! Thanks for watching.
Always fun to watch the master jedi at work!
Yes it is
Thanks!
Sorry to hear about your back, hopefully your recovery isnt to dajnting. Great video as always. Get well soon.
Thanks for the support.
take care of that back ! looking forward to see the finished truck !
I rested as long as possible but that is more torture than the back pain for me! New video tomorrow!
you are the Clint Eastwood of auto rebuilds, great work.
Thanks!
Very Cool!
Love these videos!
Your voice is perfect for these videos!
Thanks for another great video!
Greetings from The Netherlands!
Thank you Kanye! Very cool.
Nick Neumann my name is not Kanye haha.
Thanks! I am glad you like the voice, there isn't much I can do about it, otherwise. Lol Best wishes from the USA! 🇺🇸
Love how you explain things. Also have a bad back so I really know what’s that is like, never good!! Looking forward to the next part.
Thanks, take care of yourself! New video tomorrow.
The labor of love.. at times needs help from Mr. Asprin and or Mr. I B Proufin. Man what a job. Great work as always..thanks for sharing
You can't leave out Mr. Jack Daniels. Lol. Thanks for the support!
I'm really loving this rebuild series you've created.
Thanks! It has taken some getting used to but I actually like making these videos a lot. Thanks for watching.
Nothing short of sheet metal mastery is what that is.
Thanks!
Fascinating as always. Thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
You make it look so easy like the head panel. Funny I saw the other video when you removed the bed. Well yesterday I was putting stuff in the bed and kept hearing metal rattling sound. Under the tail lights the metal just folds over no welds or caulking
Trust me the headliner is mostly video editing. I had to cut out the 30 minutes I struggled with the wires. lol Some of those bed sides are like door skins, just folded over. They use so many different methods these days. A lot of quarter panels on cars are moving in the door skin style direction as well.
Great job man.. and I too wouldn't think twice about buying a rebuilt truck with your stamp on it... Hope your back gets better...
Thanks, it is a little better!
Feel better-- as always enjoy watching. Thanks, Jim
I'm trying! Thanks for watching.
Dude I feel you on the back issues. I herniated a disc when I was 30 and have been dealing with it for the past 27 years. You know you've done it....a little "erk" and goddam not again. Another time I was out for 5 weeks cuz I SNEEZED.
Have you tried yoga? I haven't as yet but a buddy of mine who also has a bad back did it and he said ever since he hasn't thrown his out. Going to have to try it one of these days.
Shit man, saw you wince putting the door on....fuck I felt that from here.
I was working in Denver one time and went to lift up a ladder, threw it out. Caused muscle spasms that were so bad they'd pull my face and lower lip out of whack. The customer was talking to me when a spasm hit and she freaked. She sent me back to the hotel and liased with me and the crew.
Mine went out 3 weeks ago, just from moving my trailer around in my driveway. Only moved it like 3 feet. Still not 100%, maybe like 70% though. UGH
I screwed mine up today cranking a weedeater for my sister. I knew it when it happened. Then I started sneezing from the cotton wood blowing around. Talk about a pitiful evening.
@@doughboy1966 I've done that too. The twisting action. Specially if it's a little cool out. When I worked construction I'd tend to wear heavier sweaters/shirts than needed. Coworkers commented on it and I'd say "warm muscles are harder to damage".
You should try plasma injection. My brother did it and his back is much better now. Not prefect but he was so bad he had no feeing in his left leg from the collapsed disk and he’s back to work now with little pain now and then if he over works it.
The first time I had a problem was in my late 20s. I have sneezed my back out as well. My favorite was reaching up to press the garage door button. No lift, no stress just the wrong twist at the wrong time. Ironically I have never hurt it when actually lifting things. I guess I just need to always be lifting! I do a lot of stretching, part of my gym routine. It helps but with a couple collapsed discs, arthritis from all the injuries and degenerative disc disease, there is not much I can do to stop it. My biggest problem is I still try to work like I did 20 years ago. After putting in 18 hours the day before, my back was tired. I should have rested instead of working. I like to get it all done in one weekend though. It is time to rethink my scheduling. Putting the door on required the belt just to stand up, as well as laying on the floor for 45 minutes and a few aspirin. I literally could not have done it without the little one's help.
Great videos keep up the great work I hear you on the back Struggling with mine right now but I just can’t stop
Thanks, I am in the same place. I have work to do and hate sitting around!
love your videos! I hope your back is doing better... i have very bad knees so i know your pain!! get well and looking forward to video 5 thanks
Thanks, it is getting there. Getting old sucks. lol Video 5 will be here this afternoon. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, i saved it for Saturday morning and enjoyed it with my morning coffee. I hope your back feels better.
No problem, they are there for whenever you want to watch! Thanks for the support!
Your videos are fantastic
I only watch 2 people, you and aurthur,
Thank u very very much
You do magic to all your vehicles,
Nice to see a young person with so much talent and knowledge
Love to look at your videos. Just keep them as they are. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thanks, will do! Best wishes from the USA!
Love the trick about getting it out the door for the headliner, I have been pulling the back window which is a pain, but now that I have seen you get it out the door , I hopefully will see no more rear windows being pulled in my future. Now I need you to show pulling fender liners in the front pain free ( I hate doing them they can be such a PITA to get back in in some trucks ( yes Fords come to mind ). Remember the oid days when dashes never had all the electronics they do these days and how easy those were to pull, makes a guy misty eyed just thinking about it... not like that anymore...lol nice work, you have been at this a looong time you make it look like a piece of cake
They don't always fit out the door but I always try before I start removing glass. The console and seats have to be out for it to work on these. It will be going back in through the back window though. No real body tech has ever liked wheel liners! 😂 They always suck, I procrastinate all the time when it comes time to put them in, taking them out isn't as bad. Aftermarkets are the worst, they suck AND they never fit just right! Thanks for watching!
I watch this on TH-cam cause i can´t do it myself cause of a really bad back, so please take care of yours! Life is still long my friend
Sorry to hear that. I have been trying to slow down but it is hard when you are used to working a certain way. It is very hard to accept that you cannot do what you used to. Thanks for watching.
Just found your channel. Excellent workmanship sir and explanations are spot on. Subscribed!
Thanks, glad to have you with us!
oh man hands down for you and your work 🙌🏼👏🏻 , i used to work at a bodyshop in Miami as a mechanic , and the atrocities that i saw there by the bodymans were pretty crazy , there’s no comparison , i wish any of those guys did at least the half of the job that you do in all your videos, keep the good work brother, this type of skills is really appreciated in the long run , i just subscribed when u bought the mistake truck and i’m always waiting for your next video , have a good weekend 👍🏼
I have seen some pretty scary stuff! 😳I do it because I like the work, money is not my primary motivation, that is the difference. You guys are also great motivation. Thanks for your support, it is very much appreciated!
The first video I saw was the trailer repair. I thought any bozo can fix a trailer. Now I've seen this rebuild and know that you are no bozo. So many tips I will be using going forward. Smiley face tape makes so much sense.
55 and have a bad back too. Bought a lift. Good money in autobody repairs.
Thanks so much!
Don't be fooled, I am still a Bozo. Just one with lots of experience. lol Thanks for the support!
I absolutely love the witty commentary.
Thanks, I just kind of say what comes to mind. lol
I look forward to your updates ! Thanks for doing this !
No problem! Thanks for watching.
Another great video. I hope your back feels better soon. I have had 2 surgeries on mine so I feel your pain. 😖
Thanks, I have been putting off the surgery for years now. I hope yours worked for you. I have heard some horror stories!
@@vehcorI had heard those stories also, but unfortunately I had no choice. I ended up in a wheelchair prior to the surgery as I was hunched at the waist and unable to stand or walk without a cane. Thankfully all went well, but i stll need to be mindful of the potential for reinjury. Hope everything works out for you also, as I have become a custom to these videos!
Sorry to see you have a bad back, must make this a hard job sometimes! And it interferes with gym time too...
Love your attention to each and every defect and dent, you leave no steel unturned, being a perfectionist is great, even more so when it means safety in the long run too!
The worst part about the injury is the recovery. I hate sitting still by the second day I am going nuts! I do take a few days off of the gym but I have found that going can actually make things better, faster. You just have to know your limits. I just do the job the right way instead of the cheapest way, a lesson some people have not learned just yet. Thanks for the support!
This channel is very entertained he show you step by step
Thanks!
5:58 - about cutting...I believe Tom Anderson (of Beavis and Butt-head fame) said it best " You know, it's not what you cut... it's what you don't cut."
I have cut the wrong thing in the past and made my job a little bigger than it had to be. lol
That smiley face is to remind yourself that there is always money to be made.
He does mention that in our talks. lol
Sending good healing thoughts your way!
Thanks! I could use them!
Man ..I’ve been watching your truck rebuild like a Netflix series..You do some damn good work, Glad I found your channel , Keep up the good work brother 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, binge away! lol Glad to have you with us!
You are truly the opposite of the Goonzquad. I enjoy both.
Bad back? You are human. I thought you were just a car restoring machine. I hope you feel better soon.👍
They make videos and fixing cars is the byproduct. I fix cars and videos are the byproduct. Two different business models on the same platform. We all do what works best for us. There is plenty of room for all of us here. I like their videos as well. I still might be a machine, just a heavily abused one in total disrepair. lol Thanks for the support!
Ouch, I have a bad back too. I feel your pain. Time for the portable ultra sound machine!
There are a lot of us in this club! I want to cancel my membership to the bad back club! Take care!
rest your back so that it will live longer than the truck. lots of luck and thanks for sharing.
I wish I could repair my back like I repair cars. My back is due for the junkyard. lol
I hear You on the "Sucks to get Old"!
Yeah, it seems like not that long ago I was in my 20s and invincible. Maybe why I have the problems I do. lol
I’m starting to think you are a robot from Boston Dynamics cause seriously you get work done done.
Well then they better recall me and replace this malfunctioning back of mine! lol Thanks for the support!
Know all about the bad back thing. Mine gets to a point where it's like a stiff neck along the entire left side of my back and I'm done for a few days. LIke you said, sucks getting older. See ya on the next video!
Yep, you just have to know your limits. I happen to be a slow learner. lol Thanks for watching! Take care of that back!
"The worst part about this job" LOL.. You sir are an optimist! Awesome work!
I spoke too soon. It was the letters and moldings. lol The headliner was a close second! Thanks for watching!
"... in the pile." This going to become my mantra for anything useless, like politicians, personal injury lawyers, estate agents, and other latte sipping oxygen theives.
As always, thanks for making making me laugh while I learn.
Keep up the great work, and make sure you take care of your back!
We have lots more metal to throw in the pile with the politicians and all the others. Although, I can at least get something from the scrap yard for the metal, it might actually be more useful than your list. lol Better make two piles! Thanks for the support! Oxygen thieves! lmao
Don't know what your exact situation is with your back but if you are not already doing so i highly suggest a good chiropractor to get you back in shape once again so you can do the thing you want to do with little or no pain!!! And as always great videos and builds, always good to see things done right!!! Hope you get to feeling better quickly!!!!
Yeah, it is unavoidable. After a couple accidents and arthritis, it is just something I have to live with. Thanks for the support!
My back, and ankles will tell me 'your done working' every so often.
Sorry to hear that. There are a lot more members of the bad back club than I ever realized. Take care!
Excellent video, love the detail and narrative. I'm also familiar with the back support belly belt, when I get it too tight my hats don't fit.
I hate that belt, it reminds me how out of control bulking season gets. lol 6 notches moves to 5 then 4 then enough is enough, I can't go to 3. Suck it in, you can't eat if you can't breathe, right! lol
Enjoyed it. Good luck with the back. 👍👍👍
Thanks! It is a little better!
I nominate "Mr. SPOTTY" as the name for the smiley face
As the first and only nomination, his name is now Mr. Spotty.
Great video work and editing. You give it as much effort as your vehicles and it shows. Nice job.
I've had much more practice with the vehicles but I am slowly learning the editing. Thanks for the support!
Oh one question? How many times has your thumb been squished by that slide hammer....
I was in Morocco once and I saw this herdsman castrating a camel with two bricks. I was slightly concerned so I asked him if it hurt. He just said 'No as long as you you keep your thumbs out'
Exactly once. Pain can really help you learn quick! lol Having said that, the next time it happens I am blaming you for jinxing me!
@@vehcor You are most welcome mate ... Lol
damn i felt bad at the end of the video watching you stand up slowly. I know how it feels back pain when working on cars. something some people will never understand lol. good content. liked.
I felt pretty bad too. lol Thankfully the little one was there to help. I could not have done it without her! Thanks for the support!
Oh Brother I feel your pain in the back. Mine has made me go to my knees and people thought that I was just laughing at something that they said and actuality it felt like I was dying....
Yep, been there too. It sucks. Take care of your back.
great video; hope your back is better.
Thanks, it is a little better!
“About a half an hour before I won’t be able to stand up” hahaha sorry man, I feel the pain!
Unfortunately, I have lots of experience with back problems. lol
How you’re feeling better soon bro. Another great video.
Hope*
Thanks, this is the longest recovery for me so far. Sill not 100% but enough to get some work done. Thanks for the support!
Good luck with the back !
Thanks, it is getting a little better.
