Prepping, painting and reassembling the twice totaled GMC Terrain Denali

[@joetrippi1603]

As I commented before: Your skills are only surpassed by your sarcasm. Always look forward to Friday afternoons. Thanks

[@wycks-5095]

Another great example on how to properly repair a salvaged vehicle.....you are one of the most thorough rebuilders on you tube great job yet again...

[@whatdoyouthinktodd]

Scott is high on OCD!

[@houseofno]

Now we see the difference between the previous body guys and vehcor. Previous body guys consume copious amounts of alcohol and use lots of Bondo. Vehcor consumes copious amounts of Redbull and uses lots of professional skill. Got it.

[@ohmegroin]

Don't forget that he's got all the specialist tools too. Bumper moulding removal/insertion tool, door trim removal/insertion tool...

[@grumpyoldman5368]

[@juliansteward2593]

A nice touch when replacing airbags is to pack large amounts of glitter in with the new airbag..it makes deadly crashes a little happier

[@uzaiyaro]

Yeah, I think Takata got their glitter order mixed up with the recycled medal shards order.

[@meltedfusitediy6625]

Glad there are people who are thorough like you. Had someone repair my car years ago, they missed the lower ball joint that was bent like a question mark. Nearly lost it on an icy road, tire started shaking violently. Limped it home, thank goodness that no one was hurt.

[@richardcline1337]

That's EXACTLY why I don't, and never will, buy another GM product. I had been hit head on by some yo yo in a rusted out Toyota pickup. When I got my supposedly "repaired" truck back, it kept hanging up in neutral (three-on-the-tree). My neighbor looked at it and told me the linkage wasn't aligned right and was causing it to hang up. I took it back to the dealer who all but outright called me a liar and said that wasn't what was wrong. He "supposedly" installed another part which I had to pay for since the insurance wasn't buying into his tale. I drove out of the dealer's lot, got halfway across a busy four-lane highway and the damned thing locked up again! I somehow, by the grace of God, managed to get the thing into some kind of forward gear and got out of the oncoming traffic's way. I limped back into the shop and told the guy flat out to quit screwing around and replace the linkage that I had told him was wrong. He finally did and it worked! Of course, the *bleep refused to give me back the money I wasted on his phony repair earlier. That was just one of several GM horror stories I could tell you but in the long run I have found that Ford's are far better built and far more reliable. PLus the local dealer listens to me when I ask him to check something on my truck.

[@dwk5234]

Your skills are second to none, and what you repair is always “better than new”...great attention to detail, fun sarcasm, and truly enjoyable to watch, thanks! -Don

[@speedpro8192]

the most thorough person on KZbin, keep up the great work!!!!

[@stevem268]

love your sense of sarcastic humour and your attention to detail

[@tonymonastiere8510]

Now, it's time to get those c-8's that have fallen off the two post hoists. Meh, they'll need a frame and body...but, what a tutorial you could make!!! A real deep dive, and what you could uncover!!! Nice job again.

[@terrywaters1667]

For some reason now, I look forward to Friday to see this guy. Awesome stuff

[@1chish]

I'm only here for plastic clicky sounds ... 😊 Nice job as usual mate! 👍

[@bigbear5510]

LOL

[@tomswindler64]

Sarcasm never gets old,makes days go by lot faster 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@jw6191]

I enjoy your presentations and appreciate the time you must pend editing. I’m fascinated by the amount of snap on plastic in modern automobiles.

[@bigpjohnson]

It makes assembly faster and requires less skill for just as good of a hold. A few seconds per bumper adds up quickly!

[@icerazar713]

Pizzaless pizza girl. 😂😂😂😂😂 Choked on my coffee laughing at that. Nice work as always. 👍

[@nokidding152]

Our man is pretty savage. If he asks you to help, politely decline.

[@henryg9050]

This guy is second to none....amazing work

[@rafaelrarg]

I don't know why you would assume someone is hating when they say that you do too much work, YES, YOU DO TOO MUCH WORK, maybe for the better, I love the channel.

[@gsettlemyre]

Scott’s to much work is our to much video!

[@donaldwcash4653]

Really enjoy watching these videos. The sarcasm is the comic relief to the videos but the in-depth details are what makes me enjoy watching the videos.

[@marcosmaisterra4477]

Scott, I admire your hard work and focus. I would never hesitate to buy a vehicle that you repaired

[@WatchWesWork]

Is there a contract dispute with Mr. Spotty?

[@JeffKumler]

I was about to make the same comment. The lack of Mr Spotty appearances is disturbing. He & Scott need to come to an amicable agreement and put this dispute behind them. It's really for the best of the channel.

[@Kro_man_tx]

I think Mr. Spotty is behind the dash of the Rav4. Don't know which Rav4 I'm talking about? Links up there.

[@charleschidester6767]

Ever since he discovered that he can be replaced by a whole roll of guys behind him. He's faking the CV flu and taking two weeks to work on himself.

[@nigelhopkinson6614]

Mr Spotty didn't want anything to do with this one. Still he might appear next week now that all the crap is in the pile

[@deanh7190]

Rumor has it that Mr. Spotty is now an organizer for CFATU (Camera Focusing Adhesive Tape Union).

[@mikeoden4179]

So good to see that there are people that take pride in their work

[@ronvan1362]

Another great video Scott. Always amazed how you know where everything goes. Have a great weekend.

[@bobgastreichCars71]

You are the best auto repair man that I have ever seen. I just love watching you repair cars every Friday. Can,t wait to see what you do next week.

[@jpgomes75]

afternoon crew RULES💪😁

[@dougelliott6926]

Scott I really enjoy your videos . I Recognize how much work you do to put this content out. Thank you

[@krisconkey8165]

It’s nice to see how proper repairs are made. Long story short, I hit a deer in my 2018 Sierra and blew out the seat airbag sensors. I had to take it back to the body shop 3 times to get it fixed properly

[@charleschidester6767]

This car must have been owned by a fan. Crash fix and repeat. Better the second time around.

[@DangerousSportsForSeniors]

I guess they’re designed to snap together fast, not come apart. Thanks for sharing

[@jamesterrill1938]

NO doubt you do quality work. Thank YOU. Almost good enough to be an instructional video...

[@michaelhuey4187]

ALMOST? Better’n some I have watched.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Just the best no BS channel on the planet! First it was so great to see part of the afternoon crew. I trust all is well for her in school. Second I am so genuinely thrilled you got this build. I know it was a pain but whoever wins this beautiful GMC will be blessed indeed. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I would buy ANY Vehcor repaired and maintained vehicle site unseen. Thank you for what you do Scott. You are the bench mark of excellence for all repair shops.

[@richardthomas1743]

Looking good Scoot , nice of the afternoon crew to stop by and help to lift down on the door ;-) ........ Have a great weekend and thumbs UP to you.

[@bigbear5510]

That's the other afternoon crew member that lifts down.😎

[@RichardVarn]

“This one upset someone already” sir I feel called out 😂😂😂

[@jackrichards1863]

Man!!! It's not the doing thats hard, but organising all those bits and pieces and organising the refit from A-S (with S-Z yet to follow) without breaking new clips or losing the screw that fits. And all besides doing the frame work and panel work??? I'm blown away by all the skills your trade brings to the table when its time to settle the bill. These modern auto's are much easier than the old stuff I'm always repairing (mechanic). I need my sleep after watching this nightmare unravel.

[@splatmanhooha4264]

Ah, at 16:17 I spot use of the auxiliary aspect of the Voice Communication Tool as the Door Rivet Holding Tool, nice!

[@bradsburgess4806]

I have learned so much from watching you,its like a tutorial ,really appreciate how detailed you are,I haven't seen any short cuts,probably the best video on KZbin!👍👍👍👍👍

[@terrylusk2818]

Enjoy watching your videos a pleasure to see some one take pride in what they do God bless keep up the good work and videos

[@billymasoner3735]

I’m not typically one of the clean freak crew, but this build definitely had my eye twitching the entire time LOL.

[@cavnz]

Is Mr Spotty on holiday because I could swear I saw him chatting up a green post-it at my local stationery store!

[@johnds6621]

Thanks for making my friday. I enjoy watching your work.

[@comictrio]

I was impressed with the door gap at the start of the video when you bolted in the rear drivers side door. The gap looked perfect. Your attention to detail is extraordinary.

[@richmelillo9637]

OH kay-autos are now made of Styrofoam, plastic, snaps, caps and carpet. Add some dirt and grit...what a Master you truly are Scott to put them all back together. Oh, I suppose Pizza Boxes too. Thanks for the fun! Rich

[@clintarmstrong4397]

Thanks Scott I am learning what to look for in good body work!!

[@grahamdavies8986]

The Terrain rebuild is the first series of videos I have watched of yours and they were awesome. Lots of detail into the nitty gritty parts of the repair. I know this was dozens and dozens of hours for repairs and I definitely respect the additional time it must take to edit these videos. It was great to see the two extremes of quality when it comes to rebuilt vehicles. The previous repairer is the reason rebuilt vehicles get such a bad rap. If done as a quality repair the vehicle can be back to factory specifications.

[@TripodsGarage]

Never knew that staring at clips it the guaranteed way for them not to break, LOL! Nice to see they at least left you the bolts for the side curtain airbags! Oh shit handles ;-) Greetings from the burbs of rusty Illinois...

[@mandymoo7406]

Got to say i love the noise of those plastic clips going in because it means the job usually is nearly done👍

[@HenryMulder53]

Scott, you surprise me time and time again with how many installation tools you have. Huge! :-) But they come out very handy. What a great build this was to look at. I've deep respect for the quality you are delivering. Without any doubt, I would purchase a car from you.

[@ruhiabdulrazack1478]

Afternoon Scott! Great Job👏

[@andrewbarnett4621]

Your so professional at what you do I don't see no sloppy jobs from you been watching your video long time 😉 keep up the great jobs.

[@GlennHanns]

Ignore the haters, your mad skills and dedication shine through any crap flung your way.👍

[@beluxauto5968]

Well Scott , needless to say the obvious but I will anyway . Great job and thank you for making the effort to film , edit and upload .

[@michaelpitcock5445]

The haters that say you do to much work are the ones I don't want working on my car you just keep doing what you do and there first customer well end up being your customer the next and the next time because there does well be closed .

The door panel water barrier is the best engineered part on the whole car.

‘Bout time: this guy’s a tyrant.

[@JustMike2791]

I'd buy a car off of you if I needed another. You do good work and it's enjoyable to see someone as obsessive as me about the finite details.

[@chrisbeverly7266]

You say people bitch that you do to much? That's just crazy. I love watching someone do everything the right way as everyone should. You do awesome work. Keep in up man.

[@Julian-do7bv]

Glad to see it almost fully back together

[@danvetor1365]

Plastic knife works great for getting the rubber gasket over the trim after instal.

[@carbonfibercreationswashin7213]

sand and polish the glass with 2000 grit wet and polish out the scratches. Takes time but it works

[@chopedandsectioned]

the body shop i work at needs a guy like you

[@tommydanger2564]

Scott: “we’re not going to clean these wheel liners....” Clean Freak: throws phone at wall...

[@Dany-oj2jv]

Wow! Great job... thumb's up

[@blahblah6767]

Today the bumper covers like this one are all of about 15 pounds. Doing heavy collision in the 70's was way different. Full size heavy chrome bumpers with metal brackets weighed up to 100 pounds. Laying on concrete trying to remove the rusted bolts, (we did not have the specialized Milwaukee impacts available now), was a task in itself. Then to juggle the thing up and out of the way without dropping it was another project. Luckily we had torches to chop it up into small chunks.

[@Smurphenstein]

You do such good work. That car has not only been rebuilt but restored in comparison to the shoddy work done in the past.

[@lear60man]

I guess Mr Spotty got fed up with the cold, taxes and corrosion then moved to Florida.

[@MrLuke3427]

Where is Mr Spotty ? Lol I can’t believe people complain that you do to much work definitely haters ! Your are the best on here .

[@derekritch4360]

You do such a great job and you make it look easy

[@terrallputnam7979]

I don't care what the haters say, you do great work!!! I am probably guilty of being that somebody who has been here before.

[@robertboland3923]

The original panel beater definitely served his time in an abattoir, the only flaw I see is the seam sealer by the taillight is un-original looking, but I suspect a knome is responsible for it, which is saying alot for quality and quantity of repairs completed, I usually only get afew minutes into videos like these before trowing in the towel, it's nice to see it being done as it should, but not actually do it myself lol, v enjoyable and informative, keep em coming 👍🇮🇪

[@travlincub321]

You forgot a step when removing the front bumper. I’m glad I remembered to unplug the lights

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Wow looks like a Terrain again. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay well

[@creamofbotulismsoup9900]

I really find it fascinating how much thought must have gone into ease of assembly, every second counts when you're putting together thousands of cars. Though I guess that makes reparability more an afterthought.

[@billbowers268]

Afternoon crew reigns , but so dose Scott .

[@davide.s.9880]

I guess that puts me on the side / group that I'm glade that you do way to much and wants you to keep doing things that way / your way.

[@mikedillon6233]

Hey thanks for showing up afternoon crew! We like it when you and Scott work together! Scott I was just wondering if you would do a automotive myths you have witnessed over the years and things you still see now that are crap and don't really mean anything. If you have the time! And tell Scott at Scott's Terrain emporium to be nicer to that guy with the vecore channel!

[@janfranken5257]

I seen one person on you tube that works alone use an old office chair that changes height and was on swivel wheels it looked like it worked for him.

[@randytaylor4459]

Amazing how do you remember what goes where. You are better than TV.

[@joostvandeelen]

You sir, are a gifted man

[@jimmysteichman5987]

nice to see the afternoon crew again even for a short spot. Mr. Spotty is not a happy camper.

Your "molding installation tool" is used quite often. I used in in the service station business to install wheel covers, however, we called it a "meat hammer".

[@fredmaxwell9619]

Those repairs had to cost at least 10K I would think. Clean title Denalis of that year are 15K-20K. I cannot see how you will make any money off that rebuild unless it is from youtube. I love watching you work, a true professional and entertaining. Oh yea get some cleaning gnomes to clean those inner fender liners and all that dirty nasty rubber you reinstalled around the doors and windows. LOL

[@Syncopia]

Vehcor out here performing automotive necromancy. Well done!

[@kickit59]

Scott if you run out of poor repairs to fix over there we got a Guy over here who aligns the quarter panel to the trunk lid with bondo! The new owner of a Mercedes brought it by the shop so we could see why the trunk didn't shut right! Russian Bob used a can of bondo to get the quarter kind of in line to the trunk lid! Horrible mess! It's fixed now but like your Terrain the fix was worse than the original damage!

[@RobertBrownbrowncone]

Love your videos bro, really learn some good tips listening to the commentary.

[@hackfabrication139]

Finally! The Afternoon Crew shows up! Where is Mr. Spotty? Either that new camera replaced him, or the re-emergence of the Afternoon Crew drown him again. Scott, again, another great Video!
