    What I appreciate about Scott's builds are that they are real...unlike many other youtubers, who stick together cars just for the content, and they are junk...Scott's vehicles are drivers....one of the best channels on youtube...

      Even If Scott's cars wind up with a rebuilt title, IMHO there are RE MANUFACTURED and as safe or safer
      than a non wrecked or rusted out car on the road......peace of mind and no 'Hack and Slash Job' here folks!
      Scott covers his behind that way on Liability issues this way as well!

      And liability is something that a lot of TH-camr rebuilders don’t consider so well. Honda has strict procedures for structural repairs; skimp on these and the car is in another accident where someone was injured or killed because of a bad repair and you could be held criminally negligent. They don’t teach you that at tech school.

    What a super build! Thanks for all of the wonderful videos. I loved the videos where you explain specific things, like cars that were damaged for more severely than they appeared. While all of your videos are teaching, it’s fun when you zero in on a specific subject. I am think of the knock sensor you did on the pick up truck a while back. I appreciate the things you point out and do like painting under the hinges and replacing things that no one will ever see. To me that’s why you are the most honest repair channel I’ve ever seen. I’m trouble shooting your brake & rotor replacement hammer. I think mines out of adjustment Scott. Happy New Year to you and yours. Looking forward to your 2024 updates. See you in the next episode!

    • @vehcor
      @vehcor  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I am going to try and stop and explain more details about the builds, many people also seem to like it. It is just hard for me to stop, I get focused on the job at hand and just keep going. That brake job hammer is proprietary technology, there are knock offs but nothing even comes close yet. 😂 Happy New Year and thanks for all your support!

  • @truthpurveyor8298
    @truthpurveyor8298 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    And the reason that door was a service part instead of being used on a new car was that seam sealer. The robot screwed it up, and instead of scrapping it, they just threw it in the "parts" bin. The painting gnome gets to fix it instead of the factory workers...

  • @bryonfaust5243

    I'm always pleased to watch Scott do his thing and the sarcastic narration is worth the wait.
    I have to say I'm surprised by the viewers who think they can beat him at his game. Over and over again he proves you guys wrong.
    I'd be happy to consider buying one of Scott's rebuilds. The biggest hold back is they are generally sold before he completes the rebuild.

    • @vehcor
      @vehcor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Shims are for old cars and hacks. There is no place for shims on modern cars, all structure should be back to spec. If it is not, something is still damaged, if it is damaged it will not perform properly in the next crash. Doing the job the right way always takes longer in the short run.
