I used to look forward to cartoons on Saturday morning when I was a kid. Now it's Legit Street Cars.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks Mike! Enjoy!

EXACTLY!

[@LionelLaCorbiere]

I know right!!!

[@zachallen7092]

I feel that rush of excitement when I see a new video for lsc. One of my favorite channels real quick.

[@ayoonakunle3113]

Me Too. he is awesome

[@mattmayo3539]

Body work is truly an art form. It’s like watching a sculptor make a statue. Real craftsmanship.

[@raviolisauce103]

well stated, i agree

[@questioner1596]

I think it's harder than making a statue, because you must replicate someone else's shape rather than whatever is in your mind.

[@mattmayo3539]

@@questioner1596 agreed. It is harder.

[@paulwright3261]

Vince! A Master Craftsman indeed! Just look at the attention to detail and skills! Two thumbs up!

[@roubenbird]

Blows my mind he was even thinking of the "crashability" if it is ever wrecked again.

[@rk22cc]

Great job Vince

[@honestguy7764]

And no care for his eyesight!

[@colinritchie1757]

Vince's skills are memorising watching him shape and weld these patches was a joy, great video

[@richbenzer5926]

And welding with no eye protection!

[@gazfish]

Very chatty too

[@astonman4]

..mesmerising; but I agree, nonetheless. Vince really needs to use a welding helmet too, as what he's doing will make him go blind ('giggity'!!).

[@JamesAMG]

@@astonman4 if you notice everytime he’s welding he either blocked it with his hand or closes his eyes. He knows what he’s doing.

[@BenLiftsStuff]

Real old school panel beating, that.

[@greatpix]

Kudos to Vince and everyone else at Ohare Autobody for putting all that work into a giveaway car. A+ guys!

[@enyionyeobia5103]

This guy Vince is a master in his craft.

[@sam-zn5nr]

Seriously impressive

[@nostric4237]

As a concrete worker I just appreciate a hard working man as Vince.

[@autobreza7131]

Without a doubt, for me, the dude performing the paint application was an artist. So well applied with smooth and unbroken strokes. Mesmerizing to watch over and over and over…

[@rlords47]

This video restores my faith in body shops. It’s so hard to find a good body man/woman who doesn’t hack everything up !!

[@mikepaul7232]

I'm pretty sure they would all go this good if you were able to film their work

[@megaman4201]

It's often difficult to do the best job you can when insurance companies dictate what you're paid, one of the few trades that is heavily run by the ins. Industry. Body shop labor rate is less than half that of most mechanical shops.

[@ONEHUNDREDPROOFMUSIC]

This job was “technically” a hack job. Good job non the less tho. Like the old saying goes… cave it and pave it

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Alex could explain paint drying in real time and I'd still kick back with a coffee and joint and watch the whole video

[@delagoya3945]

Facts 😂

[@Dakiraun]

Really amazing body work - shows a profound quality difference when the people take the time to do it right.

[@KingJojoB]

That’s beyond clean from what it was looking like before

Good to see you here Zollo, I hope you day you also start reviewing cars.

[@charlierosenbusch3007]

I've been a fan of your channel from almost the beginning. But I must say since you've gone full send as a you tube channel it's gotten a lot better. This lexus series is so much more interesting than just the usual. You have definitely been really working on the content and it's showing. Thanks for bringing us some phenomenal original content.stsy safe and be proud of what you are doing.

[@cmkelly1965]

I can't say enough good things about Vince and his attention to detail. Such a passion for doing it RIGHT. Kudos.

[@Sonny_V]

Vince with Skills like a Surgeon

[@LegitStreetCars]

He's a beast!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

We call that pole with the chain on it a "Pogo stick" it is a very handy tool if you do body repair. I wish the painters did that much work behind me when I was a body man.

[@MindsDozer]

I feel like a good hepa dust collector could really improve vince's quality of life

[@lieberfreialsgleich]

always when I see videos of car painting, I want to learn it. So satisfying. You can see the result of what you have done.

[@br549rdr]

Vince, the man of few words. Lol. Great craftsmanship 💪 Nice to see guys taking pride in their work!

[@LasseSL500Original]

All respect to Vince -- that is hand made skill, really well done!

[@azharsyarawi]

Amazing work. So glad that you’re bringing people from the trade to help others. Thank you so much 😊

[@dougharris2875]

Body work done right!

[@jhuntosgarage]

Big thanks to Vince. Great commentary and an excellent example of real craftsmanship. Would like to see more with him. Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinc31]

Look forward to all the uploads. This is a great transformations and build. It's also a nice touch that u show autobody work. Awesome job Alex.

[@htownblue11]

Very cool project. Glad it’s getting finished and it’s gonna be a great ride for someone deserving. Well done Alex.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks TJ!

[@MPowerSubie12]

This is the best project car so far on the LSC channel. The Lexus IS thanking you for your restoration hard work bringing it back to former glory!

[@erikh7903]

How is it possible that there are any thumbs down? You're videos are always thumbs up.

[@HappyPower]

SUPER Clean now!

[@ChanceCLT]

Can’t wait to see the finished product! It looks amazing so far!

[@johnhammond4397]

O'Hare are true craftsmen. I don't know them from Adam but watching Vince work was like watching a master sculptor. But the amazing thing was everyone who touched the car took as much pride in their work as the master. Truly admirable.

[@cecewd405]

Project Lexus is looking amazing 🙌🏽. The recipient BETTER take care of it. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@vincentpapaleo4803]

I love how Alex cuts absolutely no corners with his restorations and isn't afraid to spend money. *puts German metal on* "This is now a Toyota part"

[@geronimoguerrero5300]

What a transformation this Lexus has taken till this point! It’s a whole different car now if you ask me! Great job to Alex and everyone else who is doing their part in making this car look like what it’s supposed to!

Alex, dude!! Thanks for taking us through this process and with details. Love how this Lexus IS is turning out. Whoever gets this car is going to be one lucky individual. Great stuff and can’t wait to see how the wheels turnout!!!

[@3rdworldtrillionaire46]

I love this channel, so many tricks of the trade to learn from.

[@thegreatshocka]

No better way to start out my Saturday than watching Legit Street Cars!

[@jamesherbert8391]

Vince is a true artist and craftsman. Absolutely wonderful watching someone do apparently effortless and totally fantastic work. I wish I was as good at anything as he is at that! I particularly loved the core support pull to fix the headlight fit 🥰

[@dougparker-barnes1229]

People who complain about how much body repairs cost should watch this so they understand the magic those guys weave and the finesse in the spray booth, so worth their money when they do that good a job

[@MassProject]

Looking good, keep up the good work Alex!!

[@SandyNickk]

Vince is a true craftsman. Watching the attention to detail in the panel graft and prep work was really satisfying. I knew an old body guy at a previous job and overheard heard him telling an apprentice, “Just about anyone can do body work…. Not many care to do it right” and I think that applies here perfectly!

[@shadquirk607]

Watching those guys work is awesome, experts doing their thing, it's like magic. Bloody good job guys.

[@The_10mm_socket_you_lost]

It looks so nice compared to what it looked before!

[@sorooshab]

Just like everyone else I'm really surprised with the skills Vince has !

[@capedoryus]

One of the best car videos ever. Your respect for the trade is evident in this video. These guys are gems as filming is a PIA while working. Great

[@freddyarmijos8883]

Much respect to the folks at the body shop! Amazing work! Very serious talent at Ohare Autobody!

[@cigarjefe]

This video was so satisfying. It’s like taking a shower after being out in the sun all day. Best automotive channel on KZbin. 👌🏽

[@GalvanizedGreatness]

I’m surprised nobody is getting upset about the no helmet factor

[@JamesAMG]

Well from what I saw everytime he was welding he either blocked it with his hand or closed his eyes.

[@gordo46]

What a joy watching pros do their job, art work, artists

[@seanhershey3390]

Looks amazing...I’ve never thought about this model too much....& now the new IS500 is out....super cool!

[@daveh2612]

Alex, do you know what kind of wheel the body guy was using to grind off the paint/rust? (Purple wheel he used first)

[@LegitStreetCars]

I'm not sure but I'll ask him

[@lgliam]

It's a 3M Clean & Strip wheel, They're super useful

[@glennmuggleton4084]

Vince clearly has a great deal of skill and experience but, as someone who has very little welding experience, it makes me very uncomfortable that he isn't wearing a welding mask.

[@juanc5149]

It was such a tiny amount of welding he did. And he was shielding it with his hand lol.

[@megaman4201]

@@juanc5149 Mig welding is very bad for your eyes, doesn't work just to shield with your hand or close your eyes... It can be a major pain in the butt using the helmet but very necessary.

[@glennmuggleton4084]

@@juanc5149 it was but serious harm doesn't take long. I personally wouldn't want to trust my eyesight to eyelids and hands for protection.

That is a good body shop! They use really good product, and if anyone in that area needs body work, go there! Glad to see this shop in action. Great vid!

[@mylesjones1771]

That is THE smoothest body worker I've ever seen. That guy's good.

[@Oo-IIII-oO]

Yeah, everyone praising Vince and he did do a good job! However, grinding and sanding all that paint without a respirator won't take him too far... Even a covid mask would have helped in this case.

[@FireEye-zd4fm]

As well as welding and painting without any eye protection. Just use all the protection all the time.

I am absolutely blown away with this episode, usually I have to split your videos 8nto a couple of them because they are too long for me to sit and watch all the way through. Watching them use a different fender to make a patch, using a piece of wood and a pencil to make crisp body lines, going the extra step to make the the paint perfect, this episode had my jaw on the floor the whole time.
