Hey guys, first off thank you so much for your concern in the comments about Peter. I’ve said this many times before, but I have the best subscribers in the world and appreciate you all looking out for someone that you’ve seen on my channel.
I may touch on this in the future, but for now, I need to let you know that Peter no longer works for Legit Street Cars and he’s no longer associated with Legit Street Cars as a channel, brand, or company. Peter is no longer allowed on my personal property or at my shop. Please understand I can't comment any further and my hope is we can keep things respectful, and keep speculation out of this for the sake of all parties.
I am going to keep moving forward and doing what I love most and that is wrenching on cars and sharing the adventure with all of you. We all have the decision in life to let things hold us back or rise above, and I choose the latter. Big thanks to my wife, family, closest friends, and to all of you. You guys make this channel possible and together we’ve created one of the most positive automotive communities in all of RUclips. I’ll see you all in the next video!
Alex
I hope you guys can work it out down the road. These vids just aren’t the same without him.
Alex thanks for letting us know. I appreciate the update will not ask about Peter again. Keep making your dream happen and thanks for including us on the journey.
Sorry to hear that about Peter, but thanks for the honesty. Great content as always and always looking forward to the next every week.
I noticed a little malice between you guys last video. Felt a bit lile Tavarish and Jared before their split. Hopefully it's nothing to serious, and is just an arguement that went too far. I was really hoping to see his conquest
ALEX IS A TRUE G!! Keeping it real and straightforward/forthcoming with your RUclips family is so amazing!! Thank you!
If Max is reading, I'm loving the new format with the recap-intros. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Also the bloopers are awesome! I really love them
I’m not usually a chrome guy, but man does it work for this ride. You’re right, that grill needed to be returned to chrome. It looks amazing, well done.
Same here. Chrome sucks if done wrong but this is perfect.
Agreed, on this car with this color, it's perfect.
You like Chrome? On certain American cars?? My ‘63 Cadillac is one of your best examples of American Chrome done right!!
We are glad to be part of the build! Enjoy the steering wheel and happy wagon gang!
Love the wrap on the Beemer @carbontastic
Would love to get a custom Steering Wheel for my Model 3P - But $1600 is a bit outrageous. You got any thing for treefidy?
@@ajkrupke5242 Thanks for the support!
Those calipers are monsters!
This car is going to be a great daily.
Listening to the V8 rumble and the supercharger whine is so much better than the silence of the Tesla...
Without a doubt you have the best tutorials anywhere. Lighting, detail, editing, clarity of explanation, OCD overlay. You have it all. On top of that your aesthetic instincts are spot on. Overall entertainment value: Priceless. Thank you!
Its amazing to see people make enough to accomplish their goals. Idk where i messed up. I work 2 full time jobs and somehow my bills own me. But im happy others get to do it.
Bro........Alex..........Your attention to detail, even in camera views as well as mechanic work is seriously unmatched! You are a master at what you do and we thank you! Such a joy to watch you week after week my friend!
Worst thing about waking up early on Saturday is having to keep checking RUclips waiting for Alex to upload the new episode.
100% agree with your chrome choices on the V, it just looks right on it. The V grille especially was always great looking in my opinion.
I think you're more pumped about this one than you were the V12. It's a beauty. Keep the cool content coming!
all the maintenance and other upgrades done to this make it look amazing, i've loved the way this has turned out! congrats, the chrome looks awesome
Alex! Where is Peter?? We miss him😂😂
Definitely, we miss him. アレックスさん、お久しぶりだねー。
I can tell Alex this caddy is going to be a great daily and a beast!
I agree with you about the grill. Excellent job and beautiful result.
That came together really nicely. Tasteful and functional updates. Nice work.
I love the passion Alex puts and transmit into his videos, I really enjoy them.
The interior is not outdated it’s amazingly classic. I miss mine tremendously!!! Remember this is the car our people drive
not bad for an american car haha
I agree 100% with ‘every’ mod and change you’ve made to this car. 100%. Well done. You did everything ‘correctly’.
*I am so happy with how you've modified the V2 looks amazing I love the chrome*
The chrome looks so much better than the black did on the grill. That steering wheel is amazing. I love this build so much.
Where Peter at?
Where thou thy petahh?
Seriously, we missed him a lot. Seems there are some trouble with Alex!
@@mobbak better show some evidence that you somehow have intimate knowledge of their personal relationship on the fact that you think they are having issues, really irresponsible to put stuff like that out there if there's no basis to a claim like that
He could be on vacation 🤔
@@11cramm11 I didn't say for sure, if you read my comment carefully, you will find word "seems". I just assumed
I am inspired and awed with this channel. The V wagon looks amazing and fun. Can’t wait to see what’s next
The chrome wheels are exactly what should be on that car. Looks amazing!
The piano black finish can be polished and even protected with the Ceramic coating you are using too. I have done it many times for my clients when Detailing their vehicles
I love Saturday mornings when I get to watch episodes of LSC
So satisfying to watch you improve it!
Beautiful!! One of my dream garage additions.
Love love love your channel and what you're doing over there for our viewing pleasure and for all that you give back/pay forward! God bless & look forward to the next one! 💙🙏🏼👊🏼
The caddy looks insane!! Love the transformation. The guys at Carbontastic do excellent work. Steering wheel looks so good in there
93.1 WXRT. Every Sunday morning after church. Loved it.
you ever think about testing every car you get on a drag strip?....it would be fun to know how quick these legit street cars are
Seeing the work you do really inspires me to go above and beyond in my own builds. Love it. 👍
The CTS-V and Escalade must look incredible together in the driveway
Im a huge wagon guy. I love the V wagon. You are one blessed man !!! Yes, wagons for life. Be different. Awesome
Thanks for the info on The Wheel Exchange. I've looked at them at different times over the years and was always fearful there was some scam involved. Good to know they're on the up and up
Not a huge wagon fan but I’d daily this one! The sound of that engine is just ***chefs kiss***
Wow the new wheels look awesome!!
Very nice ride Alex. Great work as usual!
You the man! Great job with the car it looks amazing and you’ve got great taste on the upgrades you did! Congrats on your new ride man!
Lol, love the headrest barely staying up in the beginning. So much TLC needed for this beauty, that will get in spades from Legit Street Cars for sure. Love shooting brake designs, so much utility with unsuspecting performance. Thumbs up if you love Shooting Brakes.👍
Great job on the daily driver wagon. Eager to see the video with the additional mods to this wagon.👍
Definitely a LSC daily driver. Fast ☑️reliable ☑️, looks good ☑️
My best subscribe ever. I appreciate that you show the hard stuff instead of skipping over it. I've learned so much just watching a handful of your videos the last few weeks. This is the best channel on RUclips and it's not even close. Oh, and no ketchup should EVER touch a hotdog.
Yes, the chrome grille is much better looking as are the lenses. I did grow up liking ketchup on my hotdog, but once I had Johnsonville brauts, I never had hotdogs again. Looks really nice, great job!
You guys, donut, and car wizard are my favorite car channels in that order lol. Love your videos brother, it’s always a good Saturday morning watching your new episodes ❤
Check out Goonzquad, Samcrac and Rich Rebuilds, too.
Who’s donut?
@JWHagan it's donut media. It's a funny very informative car video show. They do funny car test. Then they do high car vs low car builds. Like one car gets top of the line parts. The other gets bare minimum. Then do like road courses with them or rock climbing
Awesome job with the wagon! Doug Demuro is a huge fan of wagons also. Wasn’t a huge fan of wagons before but you two have made me a believer. Keep up the great work!
Alex, I truly love the Cadillac CTS's!!! My 09 has 42000 miles and I still love the looks and the car overall. I am working to put the factory Nav in this car. If I'm able to achieve this I think I also put in the Vline! Thanks so much for you guys do, love the channel!
Semper FI my friends!!
Nice to see one of my dream car being treated so well. The coupe version with the manual transmission of the CTS-V was also very cool! Btw, i always eat two hot-dogs: one with ketchup, one with mustard. Keep on the good work, to you and your crew!
I think the ultimate combo is the manual wagon - most of the fun of the coupe with the practicality of cargo space. That way you don't need a separate fun car, or your fun car can be more extreme, like a Corvette or Miata, that offers something different than your daily.
I know this is like an OG solo Alex episode but it’s just not the same without Peter being there and watching you two back and forth or Peter finding things too taste.
Especially when the hammer comes out...
what happened to Pete?
Is Peter unwell or on holiday?
PETER... PETER...PETER???!??? Where's Perer??? 😮
It’s better without Peter
I was locked in, soon as I saw how calipers are cared for, my style.
After fifty years rebuilding them, they are so critical to perfect brakes when processed perfect.
I'm a once a yr fluid change out in August when fall nights get so wet with humidity.
Now system is protected all winter.
Cheers, and yes, never let any solvent touch those square cut O-Rings, or it's game over if intent was to reuse them.
absolutely love it!!! so happy you have this!!
As the owner of a Gen 3 CTS-V, I'm really enjoying your Cadillac content. I was hoping you would go back to silver calipers on your wagon, but that's ok. I really like the new steering wheel, and you are lucky to have Recaros with cooling feature, as the Recaros in the Gen 3 cars unfortunately lack cooling. I hope one day you will feature a Gen 3 CTS-V on your channel. It would also be awesome to see some 3rd Gen F-body content, maybe pick a car that is in rough shape/heavily modified, and restore it back to better than stock condition.
Never been a fan of wagon type vehicles, but this one is super nice.
Been here enjoying your videos long before Peter was around and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work Alex
SOOO glad to have found this channel, I thought car creators were just the same boring Stradman stuff now - buy a new lambo every vid, cheap looking wide body kit, an overcompensating-for-something wrap and an exhaust you can hear literally a mile away. THIS channel is such a refreshing change, thank you!
I like the new recap intros- great work guys
My daily is a Mercedes 203 chassis. They get some flack for the design, but especially the facelift like I have, is built very well and doing maintenance yourself is very doable!
I loved my C55
So happy for you and your dad. Keep it up!
Comgrats! Your patience paid off exponentially !
Nice ❤Alex . I was as excited as you !! l!
Take care buddy. Give our best to Peter
Really enjoying these, such an amazing car, honestly one of my dream cars. You should name it the LSC-V!
That crystal red metallic is a gorgeous color. I loved it on the higher trim package C6 Corvettes also !!
Genuinely look forward to these videos man
Love it! Thanks for sharing, Alex! Donde esta Peter??
How about we all keep supporting Alex the way we do, by smashing the like button and subscribing. As always Alex, great video and content. Onward and upward towards 1 million Subs.
If you use rubber/brake grease to install the seals only use the tiniest amount that will do the job as it can trap air and cause spongy brakes.
If reusing pistons you might want to lightly hone them with 1200 grit paper.
Can't wait to get details on the event!
Make all these updates look easy! Perfect touches has usual Alex! I'm sure Hovie and Wizard are crying about now!
love the higher production value, its def worth it along with he sponsor segways
Thanks brother!
@@LegitStreetCars i was looking at the wheel fitment, maybe some thin spacers to get them flush with the fender?
Beautiful Car! Incidentally, I saw my first ever CTS V in my city last week. Of course it reminded me of you.
The 3rd gen went up to 15.35 (390mm) and 14.37 (365mm). I upgraded the factory 12" or so on my VSport to the V3's and holy moly they are huge!
Ketchup on my superdawg! I miss that place while out here in Vegas. Awesome V wagon!
Big improvements. Seats & chrome really made it a nicer car :)
I’m excited to see what you are going to do to make it better on full consumption.
Always had a soft spot for the V Wagons! Great video!
I found Goo Gone to be the pretty good for Plasti-Dip Removal. I myself, am not a chrome guy... To each his own...but I have to admit, the chrome does it right on that CTS-V Wagon!!!
Question / experiment thought. For the rear light assy., using the old one, you should see if you can heat it up like you did with the headlights your homemade oven and if maybe you could reform the plastic to original position as it cools so it doesn't curl up at the top.... If successful, you can do the others for the car... Again, just a thought.....
I upgraded my '11 Grand Cherokee to the Tesla style radio panel... I freakin' LOVE IT!!!... I do agree with your choice and reasoning to go the way you went with your infotainment setup...
I post here a lot and I own a Black W211 E55 sedan just like/because of the one Alex had and I became a fan of the channel doing the paint correction, maintenance and performance upgrades to it. I bought it as a daily before Covid but after all of the work I had put into it, it was getting to be ‘too nice to daily’ so it stays in the garage until the weekends. I drive it to work more now that the weather is getting better but my ‘daily, daily’ is a nearly mint 01 Mercedes W210 E430 that is lowered slightly with a set of aftermarket gunmetal grey wheels. It’s also black with tinted windows and almost everything still works! It had an Alpine head unit when I bought it that I plan on adding a multi-channel amp and replace all of the speakers and I need to rebuild the driver’s seat and replace the foam and repair a leaking lumbar bladder. I have a set of CLK Brembo calipers waiting on the next brake job and I have a new water pump and hoses that will get done very soon. I get my maintenance and service supplies from FCP Euro and my performance stuff from VRP, MK Ultra, and RaceIQ and I rely on Alex’s videos to get me through the heavy lifting. Most RUclipsrs don’t change someone’s life but I never would have bought an old Mercedes, much less 2! 😂 Thank you for the fun that you have personally brought into my own life due to your content and the hard work you have put into building your channel. I look forward to your videos every Saturday, keep up the great channel!
Those guys did an amazing job with the customized steering wheel. Absolutely purrrrrrfect!
Dang the boys over at the wheel exchange out here looking out tough sending you a set to put on before you send your old rims back... Them boys out here thinking a Jimmy John's with the freaky fast delivery... 😂😂😂
Yes, with my hot dogs it was always with Ketchup, Mustard, Relish and Sauerkraut.
i love those new intros
Alex, I have always enjoyed watching your content! I been watching for about 2 years now. Always gets me excited on what new project you will be working on next like your CTS-V, as a fellow Chicagoan, I hope to meet you one day or visit the Shop! I’m always out in the suburbs lol
Always been a big fan of the sport wagons. you can really get alot of use and fun out of them. i say enjoy and sorry to read about you and Peter going your own ways but as the saying goes life goes on. i hope one day you both can get wharever issues you have going on and renew your friendship, all the best.
Great content as always, never disappointing. I started following your channel when it still wasn't a full time job. So as far as I'm concerned it dosen't change my opinion of your work, that being said I think that you owe us followers an explanation as to why Peter isn't showing up anymore.. just imho
Alex, I feel ya. I only take ketchup on my hotdogs as well. Every so often I get weird looks at Portillo’s.
I love how you take the time to do things the right way and not just throwing parts on it to make it look good.
I eat mustard or ketchup on mine it's according to what mood I'm in
I wasn't sold on this as a daily vs. Tesla but you've done this proper. Good job!
I would go for the piano black trim. I really doubt you'd destroy it again that bad, since you spent 10 years carefully pressing the edge of the buttons on that Pontiac radio making sure it wouldn't wear. lol
W204 C63 is my daily, doing all maintenance watching you😂. Since 2017 we are friend and we don't know each other. Hope we meet up, keep the good stuff!! 👍
Thanks Julio!
Alex, Watching you over the years has been amazing! To watch you become more knowledgeable after every show, to watch you tear apart complete engines; V12 or otherwise and then put them back together again, to watch your total fearless approach to all things mechanical and I mean ALL THINGS has been truly wonderful and inspirational to watch and learn from!! You have such a fantastic personality, mind set, work ethic, moral code and boundless integrity that you should be required viewing for all folks wondering what they want to do in life. To see all your hard work pay off as the number of fans and subscribers grow close to a million and that this fact has led & allowed you to purchase dream cars and fix them all to levels only dreamt about years before. You’re an inspiration to so many, myself and my son included, and I wish you continued success knowing that you will continue to grow in both knowledge and business acumen. I’m 75 years old and you will outlive me by many years and it is with much regret that I will miss watching your continued success on your show and in other avenues of success as they open up to you. Good luck my friend even though you don’t need it as you have everything you need to obtain phenomenal success!!!
I listened to Beatles Brunch every Sunday at work! It is still on at least on internet radio, maybe over the air.
Hey Alex, what a beautiful car. Yes the chrome looks way better than the plastidip. Great choice! Yes, i like ketchup on my hot dogs or sausages along with mustard and chopped onions. Sorry to hear about Peter, i thought you guys made a great team. I'm a huge fan of wagons. I never understood why the Magnum didn't do better either. I'm looking forward to your next episode. Cheers!
OK where is Peter Alex you make the show like it's junior high lots of fun, but Peter brings the elementary school back and combines you with him and makes it so much more fun!!!!!🎉🥳🎉
Peter was a child who offered nothing productive.
My two dream cars…. E55 wagon and CTS-V wagon but in 6spd manual!! Great job on both, Alex!!
I just Love Wagons! The Lines! Like with 4" Straped heels! Long Live the V!
Being a owner of a '12 CTS-V Sedan I appreciate the comprehensive videos and sharing the companies your working with.
Recently convinced my parents to purchase a brand new e450 wagon due in part to the OG e55 videos from back in the day.. loved wagons ever since
That wheel looks amazing
Wheres peter,last 2 vids 🤷♂️🤷♂️
