Salvage 2020 Corvette C8 Convertible Rebuilt Summary

[@vincentspero5120]

Where did this young guy attain all that knowledge and experience to do this in his backyard?absolutely amazing!!!

[@GJ-DT]

He probably works or worked in a body shop.

[@user-oz9sb3kf4u]

It helps when his garage looks like a professional shop, probably older than he appears.

[@xnadave]

Practice. (Preferably, on something cheaper until one figures things out.)

[@kurtiskoepke1980]

Trial and error on cheaper things, along with a lot of research. My opinion based off experience.

[@cornelieusfields2062]

When you are a Creator there is no competition you just create. The only thing I don't like is putting Bondo on the vehicle that part should be fabricated by hand out of aluminum out of metal but not Bondo. Everybody has a genius inside of them connect with God your spiritual self and you'll find yours

[@jamesrichards2256]

I don't know what you do for a living, but car restoration you're hired

[@thorandmoljnir]

Wow. this made my day. To see a young person actually taking initiative and doing some hard work to achieve a goal. Brilliant sir!!!

[@Button215]

Unbelievable. I never thought the body panels were going to fit. We need more information: about the technician, the project... EVERYTHING. Truly amazing skills (backyard project no less.)

[@cameronwebb5607]

As a C8 owner absolutely incredible job. You've got talent buddy.

[@jasone1199]

Good to see some old school shade tree wrench turning, nothing but respect for your hard work, enjoy your Corvette.

[@jeffcapellen1016]

Great to see people putting their skills to good use, mad respect. And I hope you turn a huge profit for your time and trouble.

[@EvilDead24]

I’m not a corvette fan, but this was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!!

[@rudawgs5418]

Bro, vetts are iconic and the c8s are gorgeous... Were can you get a super car for half the price?!

[@EvilDead24]

@@rudawgs5418 I’m not hating on them, all I’m saying is that they are not for me!

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

one of the most amazing things ive seen on youtube. its hard to believe that someone can do all of that home

[@grantdavidson3539]

Shows how bad gm design junk is laughing lmao

[@grantdavidson3539]

Gm people play with legos &drinking to much on lunch break

[@Ducatista999]

This is testament to most people that judge the look of a shop before they see their work. The building doesn’t do the work, talented hands and astute brains do. Along with lots of experience.

[@Lavanzel]

The 5 DISLIKES are people who drive Fords 😆

[@salalbanese5537]

You did such a great repair job on the C8 by yourself, my hat is off to you.

[@glennstasse5698]

I think it takes a young guy who doesn’t know he can’t possibly do this to do this. Very impressive on many levels and my admiration knows no bounds. Fabulous!

[@INDY_LF]

Its awesome to see this thing live again. Nailed the paint.match at hom too!

[@rikjones5924]

Great job!..Very Talented,not sure his driveway will ever be the same.

[@johnnyhumbolt2545]

Whoa! Those jack stands are super cool! Lol

[@richardashwood5771]

Wow. That fellow has some skills. His backyard work looks as good, if not better than a dealership. That car turned out great.

[@fordTH7335]

Congratulations dude 👏 you completed a miracle and documented it extremely well

[@chrisbalsamo968]

This guy has some mad skills.

[@mtvvon]

This deserves way more views

[@kelstra1997]

Absolutely excellent rebuild of a badly damaged C8. The only downside is the red concrete out front.

[@doc7984]

haha, isn't it. I noticed that, too!

[@RoadOdyssey]

You did a fantastic job! Great video.

[@jaimedDR]

I would like to know how much he paid for it in the first place. Looks like a great find.

[@huaicheng401]

Copart

[@rudawgs5418]

Myself as well...

[@rgarri6396]

This is an example of a great young person making it happen! Very impressive in this time.

[@thorandmoljnir]

"So what did you do this weekend?" Most guys: "Had a few beers, watched some sports..." ThatShortGuy: "Oh, nothing much..."

[@doc7984]

hahaha

[@davebutler2776]

I could not believe what I was seeing simply amazing.

[@billbutler2345]

How was he able to get parks and the factory can't. But I'm glad he did , great job.

[@djtopperutube]

Very impressive. Lots of elbow grease and determination. Any stats on things like how much was the salvage car? How many hours spent? Total end cost?

[@jamestorres3262]

Same how much was salvage car what you think 20 and as for time tag may 10 th 🤔 rather quick 👏 amazing work 👏 👏 🙌

[@rodbaines4228]

I'd guess he paid between 55-65,000$ for the dalbage car alone. Maybe another 15 in parts

[@shawndelrosa2819]

I’m looking for one in that condition to work on

[@stephenthomas5375]

Brother, you have skills, truly amazing 👏!

[@harrysmith2431]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! EXCELLENT WORK!!😃👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@NO1CAN007]

You are awesome dude I did somewhat air bag replacement and Fender work in somewhat on a 2016 juke and wanted to take a chance with one of these C8's that was at the auction.... you are awesome dog....

[@georgemattar1182]

What is right with at least one young kid today. Awesome job.

[@David.Andrew]

I'm blown away! Great job..👏🏾

[@iforgotmyscreenname1]

My brother is a manager at GM, I doubt he could put a 2020 C8 back together. You got skills, maybe you should apply for a job at GM.

[@terryfong2906]

Wow, awesome job. You are one talented guy.

[@MyAirbags]

Thank you for the shoutout and your business!

[@GusDaCosta]

this is amazing that you do all this, and out of your home garage.

[@rickhayes]

AWESOME job on the rebuild!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@195wijaya]

Well done. Impressive work!

[@bangngearz4442]

Absolutely amazing!!! Amazing job!!! I wish I could do this!!!

[@MarloHal]

man...great job dude!!! I'm curious, how much did the car cost you in the condition you got it?

[@guyinoakland]

Truly an amazing job! I hope you do keep it, that car is You!

[@randalldealba7967]

Excellent job!

[@INDY_LF]

Beautiful!! I have a question. How does the little black triangle dress up piece between the side windows & the convertible top come off? I'm talking about what's directly behind your head if your driving. It's the separate piece above the door & rear quarter panel where they meet. Directly behind the side windows. I have loose clip & I can't find any documentation on how to remove it.

[@rpmtherapy531]

Wow! Great job!

[@rodss67]

Love your no fear attitude on doing these major repairs. Good job!

[@ianoneillpsychotherapy162]

Congratulations! Wonderful work.

[@park0rdie]

Thats what i call weekend warrior!! Man with many talents. 😁👍

[@michaelahuja6365]

have never watched your video ever. following simply because I know the content gonna be killer. cheers 🍻

[@michaelahuja6365]

[@PRPWR]

Wow bro, i wish i had the balls to do this! Great job!

[@rudawgs5418]

The structural portion is a bit suspect, but the cosmetic portion was on point. Either way for a salvaged car...Looks awesome and would be an awesome addition in anyone's garage. Great job dude... Just one thing..should have laid a tarp on the floor prior to spraying.. BTW, I was an aviation structural mechanic for 22 years and did my time in an auto body shop prior to that. Structures, fiberglass, radom, paint and auto mechanics. F18s, harriers, hueys, cobras, 53s, 60s, 46s, tomcats, duece 1/2s, 5 tons, Hemtts, Humvees..etc

[@risingrising1455]

What a fine car and what a fine job you did to fix it!!

[@bradholland6783]

Congratulations man I'm happy for you that you got this done and completed looks great. With a little know-how and I don't quit effort anything can be accomplished congratulations.

[@stevedolan5065]

Wow…about the only part I could have done was wash it…amazing!👍

[@dionnepiper1771]

Please let us know if you will have a salvage title for this now.

[@GOOSE-1334]

More than likely it will have a salvage title unless the owner said screw it and sold it himself through Copart then it will still have a clean title.

[@tonylee1794]

VERY nice work!!! How did you not put tarps on the floor of your "paint booth" though???

[@jaymisontubbs5041]

Absolutely beautiful man!!! Fantastic work! Enjoy that beautiful vehicle!!

[@andrewmyralane6673]

Very nice work. Looks good. Who cares if it’s salvage. It’s still awesome!! I see you used what looks like a stage 3 turbine unit hvlp set up for paint. What kind of gun and paint did you use. I have one and had issues with it. I use a 60 gal 5.5 hp compressor set up and hvlp. But I’d like to know what gun to buy for my portable stage 3 turbine. Again nice work.

[@danlivni2097]

WOW, very impressive

[@GoatRoper911]

NGL, very, very impressive and what a "can do " attitude. You give me hope for the younger generation. T. Fellow Texan.

[@ACSilverdragon]

No longer worth the original price (if plan was to resell) due to the damage being forever linked to the title, but any regular person would pay pretty damn close for this quality he put back in!! Hope he keeps his awesome re-creation!

[@caddielackin]

This was a awesome rebuild.

[@mlogan9929]

Nothing left to say! Outstanding!

[@nabushdinosaure]

The question is why this car was in a salvage state ? There was nothing more than a little body work to do, nothing that would be deemed as unrepairable or higher cost than the car .... Unless there is some frame damage not taken into account in the repair here ?

[@cornelieusfields2062]

The thing is is I seen the repair of Bondo. I don't approve of that. If you had to conceal bring up something to meet specs then you steel. I've been building cars and repairing cars since I what's 10. It's not hard to be a creator. We all are creators and get the competition. Because there is none when you create

[@davehartpence5037]

It was dropped off a lift

[@andrewmyralane6673]

When he took the passenger seat out I could see the side airbag on the seat had been deployed. This often will render a vehicle a total loss when ever an airbag has been deployed.

[@mytek998]

Good work and also the background music is nice.

[@stevejanka361]

Good afternoon, excellent repair. Where did you get the wheel stands that you used on the car? Really looked trick and clever. Take care.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That was just plain awesome! Congratulations!

[@dantehooks1603]

Getting ready to paint mine! Should i use a red primer as well?

[@Lamborghini-One]

Hey, What do you do for a living ...... So I could buy a car like yours👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@user-zt3zq8uf1z]

Wow!!!! Very nice job 👍👍👍👍

[@braddoyle5788]

Great vid. Nicely done work.

[@adrianleusink1970]

Incredible job

[@jameslynch2372]

Fantastic job. Congrats.

[@M_Nificent]

I'm impressed 110%

[@jeffb243]

Excellent job!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@RedRod1JR]

Great Video. Liked the Lift you used. Can you provide any info on it. Need a lift for my C5. Thanka6

[@andrewdelafield1502]

FANTASTIC VIDEO

[@Darrint]

Very industrious young man! Well done! Curious what your total investment is on this project?

[@C8Kid]

Awesome job 👍🏾

[@fidelc7339]

This guy is A GENIUS!!

[@ChaeDeVine]

Question did you have to cut all the glue off the frame before glueing on the new outer panel? I’m at that point where the out panel is cut off just the glue is left on the frame

[@rcboy2k056]

Awesome job

[@brandonlimson8622]

Dude! Your video answered all my questions on how would you fix a issue like that. 👍 How much for the body parts. Hell just let me know how much it cost you all together for repairs?

[@KenCarsAndGoPros]

This video is therapeutic.

[@MS3DALE]

Great work!!! Enjoy it!!!

[@2801race]

Awesome job, congratulations 👍🏻

[@NO1CAN007]

Crazy question was that framework that you were doing underneath the red paneling?

[@dwilson2126]

Looks great! But how do you know there isn't structural/stress damage on the side of impact and to the seat that the air bag was actuated?

[@tomsimard2143]

Beautiful job! You must have body shop experience somewhere along the way. Did you make those wheel stands? Perfect for the C8.

[@lancewilliams5726]

Great work

[@MichaelBrown1776]

Awesome and talented!

[@kosma30]

Great job!

[@joycethiery2488]

What a beautiful, gorgeous job you did. How long from start to finish did it take you That wasn't no overnight job

[@krakhedd]

Bondo use on the structural pillar probably means the chassis is warped; any idea how much?

[@N1377J]

He is the man, wish I could work like that.

[@corvettez0646]

Great Job! Young man.

[@need2c]

Very, very nice work. Enjoy your car to the full. Quick question: What kind of title does your car have? Can it be insured and driven in the US?

[@ThatShortGuy91]

It has a rebuilt title, yes its fully insured through allstate

[@edenespaldon6468]

Taga saan po kayo. Galing naman.

[@archiesmith5987]

Great job! I know who where to go for my body work now 👌
