I was planning on making changes, this one was not on the list.

You may have noticed the videos have changed a bit recently. It is time to share the reason why. At 5:00am on February 20, 2024, a fire was called in at the shop that I use for my rebuilds. Here is a look at the damage to the building and the contents. I am not sure where we go from here but every day, I am away from this place I miss it less and less. Just for the record if you did not know; I have nothing to do with this business. Yes, the reviews are accurate, that is why.

[@lawnboy81SMS]

@@vehcorI have a really old shop that I rent from someone. Landlord is great but the building is old and some things are cobbled together from walls to plumbing to electrical. But it’s cheap and it’s 8,000sq ft of space with heat and AC. I fear fire in that place because I’d lose everything since it’s also my home right now with a temporary small living quarters (thanks to this lovely economy even on a $28.75/hr job for a Fortune 500 company it’s just all I can afford right now). I’m also a firefighter so I see every little fire hazard in the place since I became a firefighter back at the end of 2020. I’ve strongly considered seeing what it would take to put in even a “home made” sprinkler system that can still hold up to age and more importantly the pressure of the water that comes off the fire trucks, and setting it up with valves to control where the water goes. But I’m also rural so that place would go up too quick and there’s no hydrants so you have to rely on water being trucked in. On the flip side I’m right across from the fire station literally so once everyone gets to the station it wouldn’t take long to get some water going at least! (Also speaking from experience of what I’ve seen, when the volunteer guys hear a confirmed structure fire you can bet you’ll get the best turnout possible that gets to the station as quick as they can compared to a “single vehicle accident with no injuries” where maybe 2 people roll up to the station taking their time. Best of luck to you man, you’ll be on the up and up soon enough and build yourself back even better!

Sorry to hear Brother! Wish you the best!

[@0mgapie]

No more excuses. We expect nothing but great things from you!

[@vehcor]

All my excuses went up in smoke! 😂 This is the motivation for the changes I have known I needed to make for a while. Thanks for the support!

[@jessegonzalez3011]

Blessings come in many forms! Start your own shop, collaborate, the world is yours for the picking!! Godspeed man.

[@vehcor]

The hardest part is going to be choosing a path! 😂

[@Hard_Right]

@@vehcormaybe reach out to that guy is chicago ? legist street cars , might be a good one to colab with ... other than the fact that you two are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT personalities it might be funny to watch and see how you two interacted with each other ! he can be a little annoying so it might be funny to watch you back hand him 😂😂

[@jessegonzalez3011]

@@vehcorThe path is chosen that’s why you are here. Pick a path that’s the most uncomfortable,at least when you succeed it will be the most gratifying.

[@peterdaniel66]

I have watched you put together builds that no human would ever think to do. If you approach your life like you do your builds, it will come back better than the original. I have faith

[@vehcor]

Thanks for the support!

[@e30mark]

All the best for the future from 🇬🇧

[@darrellkearney4182]

Sorry to see your shop this way. I look forward to seeing you back in business. I enjoy your videos, Thanks

[@vehcor]

It was the only way that place was ever going to get cleaned! 😂

[@MrWoodyBalto]

I see everyone else has already said "Sorry" I'll go with... Looking forward to what you do next. I'm sure it will be entertaining. Who to collab with... Your dry sarcastic sense of humor is Awesome,. Gonna have to ponder this. 😁

[@vehcor]

Oh, I think I have a few sarcastic friends on KZbin. You can bet they are at the top of my list! Thanks for the support!

[@lindathrift4805]

Very sorry about your experience. Hope recovery and rebuild goes well.

[@rickloewen9329]

So sorry about the fire. 😢

[@vintageonandieselgen]

Sorry to hear about the shop fire. I finally received my IL rebuilt title after 8.5 weeks. Looking forward to repair videos in the future. I vote you open your own shop. 💪

[@vehcor]

I sent mine in right around Christmas, they must have put it on the desk of someone that retired Jan 1. 😂

[@theenforcer5820]

Hey Scott I know I’m just a viewer but I always looked forward to your videos and it was pretty cool when I met you down at the car show. I’m glad it’s not as bad as it could have been for you and I’m happy to hear your going to continue the channel for awhile I definitely will continue to look forward to your videos and hopefully get a chance to run into you soon have a few laughs. Best of luck with the next chapter 🤙🏻

[@falcon8553]

Oh my goodness!! 😢. Glad you're all alright.

[@chekur13]

Scott, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation ! your videos were life savers for me when I was sitting in the basement in Ukraine under russian missles and helped me to get through. I wish you get back on your feet soon, you are a true professional 🙏

[@diydenny9423]

[@odessahallmenefee]

Prayers up. Wow so much property damage!😢😢 Hoping no one was hurt and you're able to rebuild soon.

[@vehcor]

Everyone was fine, just some very much needed cleaning! 😂

[@erichopken7638]

I'm so sorry. You are one person who I enjoy watching every Friday. You truly are on of the best body man that I had the opportunity to learn from. I grew up in a body shop and got away from it when I was 20. You are showing me the love of doing bodywork again at the age of 54. Again I wish you the best and hope to learn from you again in the future.

[@vehcor]

Thanks for the support!

[@user-bp6bq3iy7z]

Hey Scott…I watch you regularly and you helped me get through a tough spot. In late 2022, I had open heart surgery, because of an aneurysm, and your videos kept me amused while on the mend. I hope you come back with new content soon so we can hear the trailer unload scream.

[@user-di3lr5po3m]

Heartfelt sympathy and best wishes, where do you start.

[@vehcor]

The insurance has done a great job so far, everything in the dumpster, clean then rebuild.

[@Simon-qw7wz]

Wes needs some help and would be a good colab

[@vehcor]

He was first on my list actually!

[@JoseDiaz-qk3ek]

Watch Wes Work is a good dude..but isnt he in the sticks
