    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.

    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 3 года назад

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
