How I Built a FREE C6 Corvette Convertible?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2023
- Shawn Pilot ( known as the Wheeler Dealer at Gotham Garage on the Netflix hit series Car Masters Rust to Riches ) buys two C6 Corvette convertibles for $5900. Between the two rough Corvettes there seems to be enough parts to build a complete car. Is there enough extra parts to sell that will recoup the $5900 purchase price and make the cost of this Corvette build a free one?
This guy has got the most chill Steve-McQueen-vibe, I swear. His production quality is excellent, and his knowledge immense. Subscriber for life right here. 👍🏻
Thank you for writing down it before me;)
Thank you for communicating our shared appreciation before me :)@@Holnest34
He reminds me of Dana Carvey from Saturday night live 😂
Agreed
I agree. The guy is an absolute natural. Skilled, humble, and funny.
Good news! He's not dead!
Ha ha, he still AA live 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
We all want to see his mechanic tools set up
Please everybody 🙏🏻 help me
Shame he disappeared a while
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
SHAWN PLEASE COME BACK Thank you for the hard work
I'm overwhelmed by the builder's incredible caliber of workmanship.
What happened to you?
I keep seeing corvettes and always think of this guy !! I would love more videos but if that’s not what he wants I understand but this keeps me sane
HEy shawn, PLEASE COME BACK and do more videos. FROM UK. loved your humour and videos.
Shawn, you are AMAZING!!! no lift, no extra help, no fancy tools..... Love the contents. Can't wait to see more. Thank you for starting your show here in RUclips we missed you on Netflix :-)
I say white for the color. love your videos
Don’t think his cameraman isn’t helping. But yes he’s amazing
On the show he is not portrayed like a mechanic. He obviously knows his ##$%. Awesome, loved it.
Just found this channel and can’t get enough of this guy hope he comes back
Some of the best RUclips videos ever. This has more production quality then TV show car shows
Thank you, I appreciate that.
My vote is Silver👍, great job.
Bro, u rock. Proof he's alive....I'd send cash! Release another video!
Oh man! Seeing you pull out that wiring harness looked like a huge nightmare! It was stressing me out!
Guy has the life a lot of us admire.
I really like this guy, naturally charismatic.
You finally showed up! Left us hanging after the last one for a bit, but you made up for it! Wow, I'm just blown away with all of the wiring that is in a car, 1st off. I know the editing helped and made it faster for us, but again, wow. Just left to say that you know your Corvettes and you know how to buy them. Congrats on this Frankenstein success. And you asked about color. Well, since it was the white one to begin with and has the build code of white, keep it white. But hey, it's your ride, suite yourself man. It'll be hot no matter.
I’m not a corvette guy but this channel does have me pretty interested. Can’t wait till next episode.
The best Corvette theme show, covering everything there's to cover+a great personality.
Great personality, fun to watch and learn about Corvettes.🎉❤😂
No disrespect intended, but watching you work on these Vettes, from C3s up to C8s and making it look so dang easy is like watching Bob Ross paint the most beautiful, intricate seascapes and making you think you could do it yourself if you just had the tools and the right paints. That’s how I feel watching you tear into these beauties, some not so beautiful and end up with a cherry ride! And by the way Bob Ross was an Air Force guy like me and had a beautiful Silver ‘69 Big Block Corvette that was his most cherished item. A step up I’m sure from the cars he used to street race as a kid. By the way, Just went through a two day back surgery and am looking for a rehab project. Trying to get Medicare and Tricare to sign off on a vintage C3, 69 - 72 big block 4 speed project car as my rehab equipment. Think they’ll go for it? Lol I’m a 100% DAV and that would be an awesome way to get my back in shape while restoring an old C3! My youngest daughter and her 13 yo son are my pit crew volunteers. Lol I think this is my favorite show, much better than the other show you were on as you shine in the spotlight continuously now! Keep up the awesome wrenching brother! God bless! ✝️🇺🇸🫡
I'd go with white!! Great job on the Corvette it's come a long way!
Shawn you not only transplanted the brain but also the heart into this car. Way to go, great job!
Bro, I love this channel please keep it coming, I’ve been a Porsche guy for 30 years you’re turning me into a Corvette guy
i just binge watched 4 videos of shawns knowledge and a good sense of humor ;i hope he returns with a fire video
I absolutely felt the excitement when you found the unconnected shift linkage!! It's so defeating when something doesn't work and you rattle your brain over it. But just like you said....let the solution find you!!! Been there many times.
Okay I must say I enjoy our hosts videos even though they are similar to tv type fantasies. But the basics of everything he's doing is solid. I've done some of these swaps and builds myself only with BMW'$. LOL. However the amount of time and labor he cuts out is phenominal. The patience in searching and waiting while watching for the right deals at the right moment and keeping that cash readily available then all the hours of mechanical work he skips (for our enjoyment, he doesn't pretent it isn't skipped like the TV shows at least). It takes some serious work to even get to the place he's at or at least some help from his family while growing up with his goal being just what he's doing etc. All in all he makes some REALLY GREAT videos!! 😊❤
Reinstalling and rerouting the wire harness was inspiring. Like dumping a plate of spaghetti and than putting it back on the plate the same way.
Shawn, I love your show, I used to watch Gotham where you were always clean, now you're down and dirty. Love it
Man, where have you been? We missed you!!! Always love your work. I suggested a Dark Tangerine before in the 1st video, but if it's just two colors, WHITE as there are so many silver-colored cars out there already. And not to forget how rewatchable your videos are.
Your videos are honestly really great. I enjoy watching from start to finish 👍🏻
All done with simple tools and jack stands. Props to completing the build CORVETTE KING! 👏
What a hoot to watch! I had no idea you were that mechanical. Well done!
Props for doing all your work on the floor and not on a hoist Shawn 👏 That's dedication to your craft.
Watching this and wondering why you have been underrated in the tv series Car Masters and portrayed as a sales guy.
I can't believe you actually stripped and built a Corvette. Keep it up.
Why haven't you been snapped up with your own series?
Cheers
Man I've been waiting to hear from you. So far your videos are great fun. I want to see what you do with this corvette.
Part 2! Part 2!!! Thanks for the great videos and knowledge on the Corvette platforms! We hope you keep producing more!
i remember when Mark said you are a savant when it comes to corvettes, and while he tries to always give you crap, he was right about your corvette knowledge, you really know everything about these cars
I'm not even a corvette guy but I wait with baited breath for your uploads!
Awesome stuff dude!
Candy Apple Red...there is no other choice (ok, Midnight Black, but those are the only two!) Great work, brother.
I started watching where almost everyone else did, on Netflix, but I'm glad you were able to do your own thing too. I just noticed in this one, the Corvette headlights lining the garage, very cool!
I hope these videos wind-up being a huge win for you because they are better to watch than most, plus the commercials and call out to sponsors isn't overwhelming. Thank you
I really like the white much more than the silver, just looks so clean... 🏁
Shawn, if you string some more videos together, you'll have 7-digit subscribers in a NY minute! You are light years ahead of most automotive YTubers in terms of knowledge, humor, production caliber, charisma, expertise, and overall likeability. More, more, more. !!!!
Amazing!!!
Also, I like the photography, the takes, the double story of "buying-selling" & "building".
Q: Color?
A: Yellow (free car free sun) + Green (free car free trees)
A: Bird-Colors (free car free as a bird, is there a bird that collects and rebuilds?!)
We missed you Shawn! Glad to see you get back to it!
Shawn! My and my wife love watching your videos! Since it’s been a while since your last upload, we straight up binged “Car Masters: Rust to Riches” to try and get our fix. Glad to see you’re back! Excited for you upcoming video!
I did the exact same thing but now I’m waiting on the new season :)😂
Welcome back, very nice part sales, just a small ouch on eBay fees I bet, and yes, white would be the best bet on keeping cost low ;) still watching from down under 🇦🇺 love your work.
Your channel will definitely blow up. Love the content. Keep putting out content Shawn! It was always awkward seeing you have to work with the guy who ran Gotham Garage. He has no taste and his builds were no good. Much prefer you working on your own and seeing what you can really do!
You need to do more video's man your car building videos are great fun stuff !!!
Sure wish you were still making videos dude... you're super likable and I find your videos super entertaining.
Boy knows his shit.
Wide body kit would be great to see. Would love to hear more about your passion for Corvettes in your videos too, it's obvious from your donor cars that Vettes hold a special place with you.
I vote the silver color! That color with a wide body would be really nice or even a stock look. I need more content from Shawn pilot I really enjoy watching your videos!
I installed many of those harness while working on the cockpit line in Bowling Green Ky, it was a pain doing it while it was at waste level and no hvac or any component on the dash, great job and I appreciate the patience it must have taken to install that harness!
Your knowledge of the Corvette is unsurpassed. Absolutely amazing!!!
Yeah Shawn, hoping you are well and working on Corvettes!!🙂
Like to find you on Netflix, but your new show is like heaven!
Another top notch video by an absolute natural comedian/entertainer/mechanic/producer. As a life long tech, what a joy to watch Shawn pull out the stops and wade though a quagmire of crap to piece these cars together. The ONLY complaint I have: there aren't enough VIDEOS!!! Keep 'em coming, Shawn, and we are spreading the word.
Shawn KEEP VIDEOS GOING you skills and charisma on another level!! Love your content man. Dont even need to watch netflix:DDDD
Shawn you have great acting talent. I’m not sure what direction you are going in but I’ll watch what ever you produce especially if it’s corvettes.
“A little labor”. Still you can’t beat a FREE Corvette!!! Excellent video!!! And a new subscriber.
Really enjoyed your old show and had no idea you knew how to work too. You are very much a people person who is also a gifted salesperson and a craftsman. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming.
My favorite channel by miles. If it’s truly him rebuilding these vettes Gotham garage truly underselling his skills. As a c6 owner this build was amazing!!
I love your enthusiasm and optimism even when the car was just not starting, inspiring haha
What a mechanic..and what a comedian !
I am also a subscriber for life !!
Good to see you back Shawn. Crazy amount of work with the wiring harnesses. I gave up on a salvage Mini because the harnesses were eaten up. I used the parts on another Mini. Both cars were a waste of time in my opinion. I personally would stay with white, if your going for the stock color. Most of it is white.
werent you on a car building show? think I remember watching you on TV years ago. you're an amazing mechanic..hope to see a lot more video uploads. liking and subscribing right now. awesome content. keep doing these please Vettes have always been my favorite sports cars for the money. can't beat it. 💪 😎
ya he was on the show called Gotham Garage.
@BulletEponge THATS ITTT! 😆 AWESOME thanks. ya he's cool
When are you coming back Shawn? We need more videos from guys like you, a hard "core vet" in the game 😊
Love these videos!! Shawn, hope you come back soon!
Nice to see someone really knowledgeable, adventurous and capable and at least a little bit loopy working in a more or less home shop situation and doing great things. Shawn is really entertaining.
Nicely done on the video Shawn. Very professional and entertaining. A heck of a lot of work. But would have liked a bigger victory dance when the car fired up. LOL
This is a better love story than Twilight.
Love this build series. Incredible! Your knowledge on Vettes is superb!
I swear if you had a four hour video I’d hang there to the very last second you have a very unique style and you are extremely qualified to do what you do. It’s a joy watching you take these cars apart and put them back together and the skills is excellent. oh, and by the way you look just like Dana Carvey.lol
Shaw, you live a very charmed life buddy and are the definition of "if you love what you do, you never have to work another day in your life". GREAT job!!
im rooting for this guy so hard! LOL great work...great videos...love it!
When I was a kid I loved to take shit apart. I was good at it. I’ll be damned if I know how to…”put it back together”. No clue to what you do, watching this!
I’m telling you, this show needs to be picked up and nationally syndicated! It’s that good…
Shawn, we need more videos, please!!!
I enjoy your work, Shawn. My dream car is a '63 Split Window. Keep trucking. 😊
Ah, yes; the Holy Grail of Corvettes....sigh...mine too!
Good to see you back, love your channel, can't wait to see more.👍
Didn’t know my favorite character from Gotham Garage has his own RUclips channel. Instant subscribe for me! But hey Shawn - can you put out more than 4 videos a year?!?!
“Puttin the heat to the turd.” Hilarious, good stuff! Keep the vids coming!
Very nice video Shawn! Hope you had some good holydays and get back to posting these wonderful videos more frequently. I would like to see a killer Vette! Something crazy. Thank you.
So excited for new video. Really enjoying this series. This is a better display of your tallent than working for that Bozo on the TV show.
yes.....would like to see more videos
This is one of the most pleasant videos that I watched & delivered with funny intelligent comments. Nice job bro. Waiting for your next one. Cheers.
If the cost is authentic this is a hell of a deal.
You crazy good Shawn! I’am getting educated and laughing at the same time!
I’m loving this channel. Thanks for making these videos!!!
Shawn, you are a amazing mechanic keep up the good work
In the last scene I'm guessing you were looking around to see if there were any cars or it it was safe to turn right. Amazing videos that always put a smile on my face. we can see and hear your passion. Keep it up!
Great vid mate, we just need them on a regular basis. I only can imagine how busy your are but try to squeeze out one a bit earlier. Love your work mate.
Love these videos Shawn. I enjoy this more than Gotham garage personally. Keep up the good work!
Great work and great production Shawn, you make it look as if you've done it all by yourself! (just kidding) While it's become something of an overused term, authentic is what I would use to describe and differentiate your RUclips channel production from that other show that you don't star on, you know, the one where you're always getting abused by a narcissistic ego maniac with an obsession for spider webs. Your builds are great and with just the right amount of corn, entertaining to watch...I hooked it up to my B.S. meter and all I got was a little quiver (could be the meter, it's an older analog model) Anyway, the honesty is appreciated and it wouldn't surprise me if we see you starring in your own series soon. Maybe you could be the first show on EBayTV.
Good job Shawn Congrats on 100k and a free vette.
Your videographer is just as good as you are!
Wow that’s so fricking awesome!!! Fantastic work! Fantastic filming! Fantastic video!!!
Shawn, I’m really loving the channel man! Your work ethic, talent, and production quality are next level. It is no wonder that your four vids in and already at 100k subscribers. Congratulations!!
You are a legend for doing everything by yourself.
I would paint the whole car Silver. Great build! I'm loving your videos, keep it up! ❤
Been really looking forward to this update and you didn't disappoint! Very compelling content. Thanks, Shawn!
Hey Shaun, glad to see you back making new videos. They are really awesome and fun to watch. You’re truly a talented automotive tech. Those jobs you do by yourself, are very impressive and not at all easy. Kudos to you.
i watch the show and you act like you dont know much . love seeing this so much information ,and you are amazing thank you very much
He plays a Mechanic on and off the screen. Shawn did a great job I knew you are great with cars I mean Corvettes. I was impressed by your knowledge of Corvettes on the show . Please keep going. ❤🙏
Shawn thank you for the videos, so well made and the humor you put into is exactly what we need as a community. You have to be the coolest guy in North Hills . Keep up the good work. Me and my friends enjoy them . Good luck and Godspeed !
Ps , Paint the Vette Silver looks great with the chrome wheels .
Much appreciated Tony. Thank you for the support.
