Fitting the used quarter, rail and body panel on the Lexus IS250

[@jimmycheese3817]

We don't want to burn it to the ground... like we have in the past... I don't want to talk about it. Perfect delivery Scott. Your humor and work ethic is what drew me to your channel in the first place. Cheers from Maryland.

[@drivecam101]

It's a real danger though. I once set the carpet of one my cars on fire from an errant welding spark fixing a rust hole in the floor pan. Had to smother it with my welding glove. Caught early so thankfully the damage was minor and limited to hidden areas of the carpet and underlayment.

[@teekay_1]

@@drivecam101 I never set my car on fire with a welder. I save that for my loud neighbor's cars.

[@iantyler4045]

I am constantly impressed by the perfect panel gaps when you throw the panels up for a test fit. All that measuring and preparation really pays off. I'd happily drive one of your repaired cars.

[@braxtonnelson7422]

I worked in the auto parts side of the business for many years, and I've met some great mechanics and body shop guys in my career. I would have enjoyed working with you... you do great work, you explain what you are doing very well, and you have a wicked sense of humor (maybe the most important thing to me!). As an old retired guy, I like your channel very much. Keep up the good work, and keep the bas*ards on their toes!

[@rafaeltorovip]

Just pure and honest art work. In order to you do that kind of job besides training and experience you need to be gifted. Excellent video Scott 👍

[@muskokamike127]

Art Work? This is Scott Work, Art has his own channel! lol

[@zsolthajdu5007]

Not really. Just start doing it, learn a lot after like 10-15 years you will be experienced enough to tackle any auto body problem you encounter. Only needs patience and a common sense.

[@BrucePierson]

Always interesting seeing how you repair different vehicles that have been in different types of accidents. Practical daily drivers for the average person to buy once they've been restored to OEM condition and serviced ready for an extended life. But there's one special vehicle that we haven't seen for a long time that we'd like to see updates on occasionally when you make more progress on it. All the best from Queensland Australia.

[@vehcor]

That car doesn’t make money, no reason to work on it unless it starts making money. I gave viewers a way to make that possible and they have spoken. No one cares about the Mustang!

Amazing at how a damaged vehicle can be spliced, welded, and then look like new once again!

[@boblister665]

Nice work. I started body work in 1974 and still at it.

[@nou8257]

I can never get over how good you are at this and how you just make it look easy at the same time. So thanks a lot for just making these vids.

[@99andrianmonk]

Quickest 19 minutes of my week. Seems like I just started the video and it's over. A lot going on and well presented. While I'll likely never be welding on body panels, I found this video to be as interesting and informative as all your other videos. Looking forward to the completed vehicle.

[@danashcroft961]

Totally he shouldnt speed up grinding all those spot welds so that all these idiots complaining could see just how much work and time goes into it as I think alot of guys on KZbin watch these half hour videos and think thats how long a job like this is going to take and then when they try it themselves REALITY SETS IN...

[@danashcroft961]

But then none of the half hour attention span, "I could have done that better with this tool" crowd would watch the videos as it'd be too mcuh like HARD WORK... But I learn alot from Scotts videos, thats why I watch them as its always a pleasure to watch a pro at work...

[@edcase7888]

too many experts comment telling people what they are doing wrong. they obviously don’t bother you and they shouldn’t, you do good work and are obviously making money from it or you wouldn’t do it, my mum used to say if you don’t have anything nice to say say nothing. it’s also easier they don’t have to write out their expert opinions keep up the good work i thoroughly enjoy the videos thank you

[@salmanskippy]

I said it before and I say it again Scott. Love your videos and commentary. Can't wait to see this project completed. From 🇨🇦

[@billsmith8339]

I have never repaired car crash damage before, but I do have a ton of “expert” advice … especially about belt sanders! HAHA. Great work by the way!

[@kickit59]

Scott I got a chuckle out of your not wanting to burn it to the ground! As always you are smart, fast & talented on how to do your rebuilds! I have been out of the body shop game for many years now but I still enjoy your videos! I am looking forward to the next episode!

[@JimNichols]

I am sorry the bad men in the comments hurt you.... I never understood the negative commentary about the way you choose to preform jobs that you make a living from. I have in the past (not on your channel) said that the volume bounced around to much for comfort or that the choice of music was lame or not needed at all. But I never comment on the way things are done by a trades person that makes a living doing things the way they do them. Your sarcastic wit aside, (which by the way I appreciate quite a bit and seems to be honed to perfection) I appreciate the time it takes to create, edit and UL these vids for me to pass my time in retirement with...

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Not only is your work GREAT, but I didn't know about the 'deck lid numbers'. Entertaining & informative. THANKS SCOTT!

[@richardbaumeister466]

Definition of an expert.... An ex is a has- been and a spirt is a drip under high pressure. I really like your usage of experienced parts. And your videos are top notch. A body man just can't have enough Vice grips as they seem to have a habit of evaporating. You can gripe all you like about the know-it-all haters as they deserve it.

[@johnhouseholder8978]

I enjoy the ribbing you give the “ experts” I read the comments people are seriously obsessed with telling you who obviously knows what the heck you’re doing how to do things ,it slays me. Thanks John from Arizona

Thank goodness its Friday.. been looking forward to this one. Scott the only thing missing is more haters tears. But what is abundant is the workmanship and of course your personality. Thank you for taking the time. Stay safe and be well

[@jeremyvoght9062]

Great repair. As a lexus-toyota master tech that's a great repair. Lexus doesn't recommend used welded on parts but the insurance companies make us . Just to save money. Only thing I did different was to use weld-thru primer instead of etch prime. Keep up the outstanding work

I was so disappointed all afternoon yesterday in to last evening, kept checking my subscription page,, then realized it was only Thursday lol. I brag on your work to others as if I actually know you . I too did the bodywork thing many years ago , I wished technology was a thing . Very few understand the work involved to get a vehicle back to its factory self . Great job as always Scott.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

Scott, Before I retired I was a Union Sheet Metal Journeyman by trade.....I got paid by the hour....but when it came to fabrication/installations one could really never have enough clamps, grips, reach overs (c grips) after all there are time constraints on getting paid by the hour!........and as for saving disks well lets say I did that as well! although I never bought them (or drill bits saw blades etc) but i made the most of what supplies I had to work with!........ I will admit I was tight with a nickle as it is! as consumables are not always cheap! You find what works best for you and you stick with it!......that in itself makes you the expert!

[@louislouis4221]

Every week, I watch your videos. The reconstruction of vehicles deemed "totaled '' If I speed up the videos to the very end, is like magic. Tedious, slow, patient, precise, hard working, literally, inch by inch. Your experience and craftsmanship is amazing. Seems to me you face two challenges. The easy one is the repair itself. The hard one is dealing with "the haters" and educating them. haha!

Like always, make it look easy. Good stuff. We cut a Nissan Sentra in half as it was rear-ended. I couldn't believe it as I was just starting in a body shop. When I drove the car after it was done, couldn't even tell. It's amazing what you (this industry) can do. Nice work man!!

[@muskokamike127]

You're not the first to tell a story like that. It depends on where you cut it, but you should be able to put it together as good if not better than OEM. On the flipside I've seen vehicles that have been "repaired" after a wreck and they are shit and don't drive straight or fit right. There are good and bad.

[@rickmarshall808]

@@muskokamike127 There was 1 car here locally several years ago, that was "rebuilt", apparently, it was 2 halves that was made into whole. They were sloppy and they was 1/4 inch gaps underneath, needless to say, it was total junk, and ended up on TV and the dealer was roasted for reselling this piece of junk.

Clamps: same as my woodworking. I bet I have close to 100. Pipe clamps, bar clamps, C clamps, and some wide face vise grips. I have four 3/4" pipe clamps 6' long with a joiner that I can clamp a 11' piece and yes, I've used it. I glued up a double sided sign just this week that was 2 ft x 3 ft and I bet I had 20 on it. When I was doing custom kitchens and walk in closets I had maybe 50 26" long pipe clamps just for gluing up drawers. Why so many? You need 4 per drawer and if you have 10 drawers, that's 40 right there. Buying a pair for $30 allows you to glue them up all at once.
