this was my brother in laws car. it was never meant for daily driving. was gonna be a show build. he took perfect care of the car, it rode perfectly fine despite all the people saying “lowering ruins the vette”. love the vids and crazy to see this vid after seeing the car built. and accident wasn’t drivers fault, someone on the highway flew over into his lane and took him out

[@scraplifegarage]

That’s a shame to hear! Unfortunately that’s why a lot of the cars we deal with meet their end…

This brings back memories. I sold parts at a specialty wrecker for 7 years. I miss those days but dealing with customers sometimes was a pain in the a$$.

[@20block.Pologroundz]

My experience, when parts are clean and washed, people tend to gravitate to them when purchasing or that are in the market. Great job guys !

[@terrallputnam7979]

Someone definitely pulled those fuses on purpose. They wanted to get the Vette Super Cheap!

You guys deserve the good luck with engines. Your videos are great and you are beasts at breaking down vehicles and maximizing their values.

I love your business model. But there is no way anyone could just DECIDE to follow it. The knowledge you have is key to running that successfully. Few of us mere mortals posses that knowledge. But as a reseller myself I can appreciate your process and efficiency. Your success proves it.

[@scraplifegarage]

It’s a business that requires experience for sure. Now some of the rebuilds I’m doing on the channel most anyone could do!

[@franktags136]

I believe someone pulled the fuses to get it cheaper at Auction before finishing this vid. It’s horrible that the previous owner lowered it like that, they almost had good taste aside from the ride height. Great content once again fellas. 👍🏼✌🏼🇺🇸

[@caveone-365]

This type of 'slick shit' is basically commonplace at auctions in my 25+ years of turning wrenches at least. I've definitely seen it when the owner of this one indie shop I was at used to take me to do PPI's on whatever pile of shit that's gauge cluster was lit up like a freakin Christmas tree LMAO. Anyways, one of the famous things shady asses used to do was pull coil wires off just slightly so it LOOKED connected but wasn't making contact with nothing but the boot pushed on!!!! LOL the thing would be skipping like a fruitcake in a gay parade!!!🤣😂 Sorry I HAD to... I also used to LOVE seeing vehicles come through the lane leaking literally EVERY SINGLE FLUID POSSIBLE!!! It was LAUGHABLE seeing some of these piles come through there. Just wanted to share my funny but true auction experience. 😂😎👍

I was sitting flush on the ground panicking I thought my entire life was over my coilovers top housing also snapped off in the process. I thought my car was totaled I cried it sat for 8weeks I had a buddy mine from highschool fix it in like 2 hours put some e46 control arms and re adjusted my coil overs and rolled it out the back gate/fence just like that. It was the best car experience ever. Took it to the car wash had a smile on my face all day

The top not fitting like that means the frame is bent. Glass will not bend, it will crack and break, but that car has a buckled frame. A good frame shop can do wonders though. That busted front crossmember cant help though, Vettes are built to be light weight and everything under it keeps the frame in alignment.
