Helping a YouTube subscriber get their 1968 Mercury Cougar a little closer to finished 

Sandy and I are the owners of this 68 Cougar. To say we were thrilled when Scott agreed to help us is an understatement! The experience of working / observing along side him (a true master of sheet metal) was informative and heart warming. I’ve been around maintenance most of my working adult life and could tell in minutes he was an expert in his craft, calmly working through the challenges of this quarter panel. A project that began in 2004 when my father in law purchased this car has now been jump started. This project is dedicated in his memory, as he passed before we could work on it together. Now let’s get this video to 1 million views so we can watch Scott paint a car!!

"I don't need it because I don't have any friends" That made me lol 😂

For gearheads like me, you teach us the basics of panel repair , what’s important, and what’s less important and what tools are essential. Thank you from all the old graybeards like me.❤️

The reason he wanted you to do it because you know what you’re doing good job

Scott, what a great move to help them put that car back together. You are a good person.

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. My dad doesn’t have much time on this earth left and as a teen I used to help him weld and fix cars. This video reminded me of those times.

I like the road trip idea, moving someone elses project along is a nice car community feature that makes grateful new friends, is extremely helpful, and is also a good way to get a mini vacation out of the deal. Especially when you are working with nice folks like Steve and Sandy, and they have a nice shop like that. Fantastic job.

Glad to see you working on cars again.

That was one of the cleanest and most organized salvage yards I have ever seen

Love your style, keep rocking it!

I see these guys do body and custom stuff. You are the only one that uses weld thru primer! You do damn good work😊

love your videos Scott im especially happy with you working repairing and commenting thanks again

What a great Friday surprise, happy weekend all.

Nice generous thing to do to use your time and talent to help someone get their dream car back on the road. This reminds me of the Honda you fixed up and donated to the older lady in NJ who was without wheels. The world can use all the personal generosity it can get. Thanks.

I like seeing modern car repair, but classic car/truck repair is even better.

Had to be a joy having Scott agree to come down and help, Ive been watching for several years and am always impressed, you did right in Sandy's fathers memory, well done. I have a rust free Camaro with some minor accident damage (same Lft. rear quarter) that I hope to have repair and painted some day, actually thought about contacting Scott to bring the car to him. I am just next-door in the frozen waste-land of MI.

I like it, you working on viewers' cars. You not only to produce fascinating content but also build goodwill with your community. Good to see you back in the saddle fixing cars! Rinse, repeat!!

branching out always brings its own rewards.... keep em comming

Dream cars come in all shapes, sizes and colors, well done for helping someone realize their dream!👍🏼👍🏼

Love first gen Cougars, my uncle & aunt had two identical ones, 1967 white with red interior. Purchased from same dealership, at a single purchase. Enjoyed this episode, and I hope this is the first of many travel to fix a car episodes.

Been a subscriber for a little while, this was definitely the best episode I've seen of your's. I think the new format would add a little something to the channel. Great story on the Mercury, very nice people. Hope you get the million.👍

"Paralysis by analysis". A true road blocker if one allows it to be. Great job, Scott!

You are the best! The Merc Mustang will look great after its done and I hope Sandy and Steve have many many great times and miles with it! LOVE THAT SHOP! A dream for me. DEFINITELY one of your best videos! Keep up the great work!

Come on guys, I am sure we all want to see Scot painting that car as well as the finished product!! Greetings from South Africa.

Damn nice job Scott 👏 👌 Its always hilarious when he says i don't have any friends

Scott, you are a class act. In today’s world we need this so bad! Thank you for all that you do for others.

Great video Scott, and love how the after market panel was top notch. Kudos to you first with the magician eyes and hands but also kudos to the panel.

Oshawa stratification on the flip flops lol! Great fitment on that quarter panel experience and patience shows 👏

You should leave Illinois head south, I did years ago, and you won't regret it.

Great video Scott, and thank you for the salvage yard tour, looks like you had a great adventure 🙂👍

Thanks for taking this road trip. I believe that others can use this experience to change a quarter on their project to save a nice vehicle.

God Bless you, Scott! Nice job. Love your videos.

And I thought Vice Grip Garage cracked me up. An artist with humor. LoL. Yes, I to would like to see you paint it.

Exelent job, this car deserves a new life to be on the road again, I would like to see you painting it.

I"m going to watch the video again. ;-)

Scott is one of the few people I would love/allow to work on any car I own. Sadly I am thousands of miles away in the UK. Keep up the excellent work Scott.

Enjoy watching you master what you do. 👍

I really like this episode.You are very good to watch and listen too when you are workin.As i like the Cougar work,i also like that junkyard with rustfree parts.My Avalanche need both front fenders.

@vehcor I hope you have a happy fourth of july!

great job as always, so glad you helped that couple out on there car especially it being her dads and helping them keep the dream alive

That car was my first love. Still want a 69 XR7. They are super lucky to have that.

Scott, great video as always, especially on a Saturday morning!

Man that was a good clean quarter install. Im impressed new/old... you are an excellent body man!

I am thinking that little by little we are gonna be seen less and less people capable of doing what you do. Thank you for sharing so amazing job. 👍

Awesome video Scott. 🚗🚗🚗

love this new work style. keep it coming

Great episode. I would like to see the sequel where follow up tasks is fixed (by Scott of course)

It's an interesting addition to your videos visiting people and working on their cars. I wish I needed something done.

Great work on installing the quarter,would love to see you paint it

Best damn most unique channel on youtube..

I love it , great video Scott , your clients were great also !

Heart warming video and good to see that there are new opportunities and ideas turning up, despite the recent misfortune. There's probably a lady who still has a totalled, blue Lexus RC sitting on her driveway that needs fixing 😊

Hope to see the finished product..great job as always Scott 😊

I get a bunch of enjoyment out of your comments. You be funny while doing good work. Keep the adventures coming 'Friends or no friends.

I had 67 Cougar! So I loved this video. Glad to see you back installing , grinding , welding and more grinding.

It’s amazing how auto industry keeps inventing more and more new types of locking electrical connectors.

Tip If you’re going to put the cage back in . First cut a large doggy door in it. Use a couple of draw slides so you can just slide it out of the way when you need that extra bit of length. You could also modify the seat or swap it with one that folds down.

After hitting the welds with the cut of wheel i use a cookie wheel, much less aggressive then the grinding disc, nice work!

Love your work and dry humour 😅

Have ALWAYS loved your channel...I think the "fix your project" format could also be very, very interesting...hope it works out for you!!

Nice job on that quarter. Living north of your border I can really appreciate that yard of rust free parts. Nice people & good shop makes it easier to work on their car.

Great story on the car - lots of boomers have similar stories but some stories never get completed. Scott is a whiz when it comes to metal work. I've watched him do some very creative work. I too have a story on an old truck but I want to finish the job myself. I've been practicing on a lot of crashed vehicles and have sharpened my sheet metal skills. I have a nice shop with lots of tools and a lift and find it very soothing to work on crazy stuff. It satisfies to look at the finished job and not be able to tell it was crunched.

Living in Chicago, I’ve always kept track of your builds in hopes of maybe scoring one of your for sale cars, knowing they were done right. this episode was very cool, loved it.

Great job, Scott! This was a a great video and topic. They knew YOU were the guy to call! Hope it hits a million views - I’d love to see you finish the car! (I don’t have any friends, either! 😆)

As always awesome job. I want shop like that tooo.

My Grandma had a Cougar, when I was a little kid.... She used to ride us around in it..... Was a cool car... Great job by You & the Owner, trying to fix this one up.....

love watching your videos.they just keep getting better and better.

Awesome video. All these "will it starts" and "revive and drives" it was pretty cool to see a traveling body shop vid. Maybe you can start a new series of "can I turn these boxes into a cougar" 😆. Cool to hear the story from the owners as well.

Awesome job hopefully it get that many views id like to see it painted hopefully they keep you updated on how the car is going

Scott this is a great video. Please do more. Thank you for them. 👍

Great video! You make it seem very simple. I have driven past and to Atlanta a few times. Drove twice to Disney World, then once to Georgia to pick up out 28ft long trailer. I have never seen a salvage yard that neat and organized. However, I don't go to many as gravel roads and crutches are not a great combo 🤣

My first car! ‘68 w/289. I loved that beautiful beast!

Great video and a great idea for for a new direction for the channel.

Hey, maybe engineer a door in that cargo fence while it's off so next time all you'd have to do is pop it open and go. A very nice thing ya did, kudos.

A wonderful video and a tremendous demonstration of skill and knowledge. After thirty+ years, I'll bet you don't screw up many things requiring fixing and can trust your intuition. That explains why you can "throw things up and weld them in place" with minimal deliberation.

That’s a cool car, and interesting. Would be nice to see you paint!

I love how you deal with the experts before they get a chance to know it all.

We got one of these given to us this year and now we gotta find time to get it running.

You're awesome, man. I may have to contact you so you can come on down to California for some vacation time.

Good content Scott, the world is your Oyster with your skills.

"A comfortable 90"........ that's what she said" absolutely killed me 😂😂

This is a great story Scott. Good on you. You are a saviour for these people. Want to come to Calgary Canada? We have a whole lot of rust up here for you to work on!!!

Nice to see you can hang a quarter and a door too. Nice!

Hobart welders are owned and made by the same parent company that owns Miller Electric. I am not familiar with who makes the welders for Snap-On, but Miller welding equipment is top notch.

I like videos like this. It is interesting to see work done on the classics, noting the differences from modern cars.

Damn Scott, you do real nice work. One word of warning. Sleep with one eye open because Mr Spotty may be in a vengeful mood being left in the _land of rust and corruption_ while you had a soiree in the deep south without him. 😁 *Thank you* for the video. 👍

Nice job Scott the quarter panel install was done very well great work .

Great idea. Be neat to see what people need help with

I hope you get your million views!

A drive .crash fix it repeat travelling expert what more do you want Scott is the best.

One of my. Favorite. Ford. Thanks ❤❤❤❤

Nice professional great job ❤️🇺🇸💪💯✅️🤔

What an interesting and fun vid. Ihope we get to see this when it is finished. Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.

I like the classic cars...& you working on them? WIN/WIN

Oh I’m so looking forward to seeing this video, I’ll edit it later if I feel the need 😊, so glad you’re back getting your hands dirty again Scott, I’m back already I’d have got my grinder out and cut a hole in the metal to fit the part in but then again I’m an idiot

Not to take away from your wrecked rebuilds, which are fascinating, but this was great. I think you should start a series, "Restoration Rescue".

I kinda like this new traveling road show format! Can't believe it--neither the supervisor or Mr Spotty got to go? Who was keepin an eye on you? Nice job as always Scott. Definitely want to see you paint!!!!!

Loved the video (as usual).

Well, that's a new experience., I like the concept. 👍

Great colab. Love this content. Great that you keep on helping people. And never stop being sarcastic. From a rust and corrupt to a corrupt place. 😂
