Putting the roof back on the convertible Silverado rollover

You make it look so simple. But it’s only your experience that allows it to look so easy. Good job!

Once you start doing it, its pretty easy i do this type of stuff to idk how to but i just use my comon sense and just do a lil bit of research to give me an idea how to and ive been doing paint and body work now and i like it

[@machitatt9736]

For real!!!

[@ditherdather]

My favorite aspect of your builds is that you take a bunch of destroyed vehicles and use them to make a couple complete good ones. It's so resourceful and I love that.

[@ianwalker4803]

Nooo , don't stop now, I want to see more, I have no patience to wait for the next episode !

[@stuffandjunkandthings364]

As someone whose former position was ruining the resale value of hundreds of vehicles (I built cop cars for a living), The best trick I had for not giving the sheetmetal extra nipples when drilling through a panel was to drop a deep well socket over the bit. Depending on the size of the bit in question, it'll still give you 1/2-1" drill depth, but a zero percent chance of introducing the bit to the outer panel at a high rate of speed. Also, I don't know what you're using for 1/8" bits, but Harbor freight has double ended machinists bits that are less than 10.00 for 8 (16 drilling ends). They're pretty good for drilling through sheetmetal (due to the short length), and will drill through anything... Once (to include high strength steel). Plus they're cheap enough to be abused as the job dictates.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

and if your really good with a bench grinder you can resharpen the bits as well!........(retired sheet metal worker here)

[@TyphoonVstrom]

Yeah, I used to drill holes in cars for a living too, many years ago. I had an assortment of different diameter steel tubes I had made that slipped over the drill bits. Just insert the drill bit into the chuck with the tube over it, and let the drill bit stick out the end if the tube as far as you needed, then tighten chuck. I've seen those double end drill bits called jobber or sheetmetal drill bits too.

[@drewdougan]

Dude, I can't believe the amount of detail and insane worksmanship you're putting into this Gen 1 Silverado SWB. UNBELIEVABLE. But I like it. And I would buy anything you've worked on. One of the best car channels on KZbin. 😉👍🏻

[@TheIronMedic]

Have you ever thought about how many times you have said "In the pile"?? Just a thought I had. I've been watching you for a long time now love the content what you can to to a wreck is awesome 👌.

[@buckpowers4837]

Its good to watch a job done correctly. The reinforcement pieces used in splicing the cab back together just make a pro job worthy of seeing quality in a repair. Hat off the superior work.

[@brianb1199]

My OCD loves the calm attention to detail you give each project. But it was also very bothered by the "FLAMABLE SLOVENTS" sign at 13:01. LOL.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Man this was really cool. Look forward to more videos on this truck, Wish I knew how to do body work so I could criticize and troll you.

[@vehcor]

If the internet has taught me anything, it’s that you don’t have to know what you are talking about to criticize. In fact the less you know about a topic, the more you should comment on KZbin! 😂

[@SouthMainAuto]

You are as much of a restorer as a rebuilder , love seeing this Chevy getting back in service rather than a scrap yard . Great build as always Scott .

[@richardprice5978]

Impressive jigsaw puzzle you have there, Scott. Amazing strategy for using the corner pieces. 😀

[@j81851]

I gotta say Scott your LOL counter was triggered about 45 times in this one. I like to fell out on the floor🤣 when you talked about the internet UV filter in old computers and screens! What a riot! TI have thought about that (no joke) when people are welding! You taught us the right way and made it so funny I almost had a spell. Not only are your builds the best but your humor is 100% spot on. Where else in a world of crazies can we get this quality of content and laugh so hard we hurt as well. God bless you I feel like you are the kind of person I'd like to hang out with. I'm 71, a builder and a doer all my life. The keyboard welders comment was NOT lost on me! WOW keep the GREAT content coming!!!!😆

[@mikeanderson2730]

A true proffessional at work. Fun to see some one actually doing a repair the correct way, instead of taking the shortcuts that are far to common in this line of work. You, Sir, are an expert!

[@frankallenjr8549]

Scott, you make replacing panels look so easy! Truck is looking good. Hope you are throwing that chrome wheel well trim in the pile. Looking forward to the end result!

[@vehcor]

The trim is going in the pile for sure! 🤮

[@stevengiles346]

Get rid of that wheel well trim. I had it on a 2009 Chev and it caused rot in the wheel openings. They don’t fit well an trap a ton of crap behind them. They were on the truck when I bought it and I will not buy a vehicle with that aftermarket crap on it.

[@richardprice5978]

i like crome/gingerbread so im going with it on my 69-charger and gm-K1500 1985-88 4"-ish wide-bodied black/raw/polished-plastic ruff country/bolt-on flares , the wheel opening's look much more expensive/finish with them on vs nothing or pure wide-bodied in steel or plastic/fibre/ect painted or unpainted , or worst is sawsall-finish/raw-cut like some off road and race car ownership's do this wider corme trim is the typical type i like as the 80's gm pin-stipend/thin/3/8"in ones i have mixed feelings for and generally it's nope not in the mood for the taste-styling ps mine are daily driven it just like nice rides 😉🤠, sometimes off roading/ruff weather ❄ect

[@richardprice5978]

@@stevengiles346 wasn't that a 2000-now RPO option? and i get the caddy super-fly options ( yes it is a real gm model sold between 1960-1990, and gorge barista/bat-mobile helped design them and yes not my taste as it's just to much.... ) aren't for everyone and yes there's a point that gingerbread can get too much and look cheap&cheesecakey to me but murdered/plain isn't my taste's either

[@stevengiles346]

@@richardprice5978 The trim on mine wasn’t factory. Previous owner put them on. Definitely aftermarket by the label on the back of the trim. If you live in the Deep South with no snow and road salt in the winter then it may be OK. Anyone in the north stay away from them and inspect the sheet metal if you’re looking at a truck with them. Like I said, they didn’t fit well and had a lot of gap to fill with sand and dirt from the road. This trim was not available as a factory option on a 2011 Chev Silverado. The factory stuff from GM, Ford and Chrysler fit much better.

Your one of a kind Scott, someone who does everything the right way and knows what he’s talking about while making KZbin videos cheers 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@larrybe2900]

This particular rebuild had me with the same feeling I have had when interested in a good baseball game. Both are slow paced but the intensity is riveting for the outcome. One remake like this just shows the viewer the true craftsmanship involved and to do it all to be within 1/4 inch from an entirely separated body piece. One can understand and should never question rates charged knowing the experience behind the work. Your skill has been obvious long before I write this but this effort truly highlights in a compressed way what you can do. Good job.

[@mikesawyer4707]
