How I Built a FREE C6 Corvette Convertible? 

Good news! He's not dead!

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. 👍🏻

SHAWN PLEASE COME BACK Thank you for the hard work

I'm overwhelmed by the builder's incredible caliber of workmanship.

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 RU-vid we missed you on Netflix :-)

Some of the best RU-vid videos ever. This has more production quality then TV show car shows

On the show he is not portrayed like a mechanic. He obviously knows his ##$%. Awesome, loved it.

HEy shawn, PLEASE COME BACK and do more videos. FROM UK. loved your humour and videos.

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.

Bro, u rock. Proof he's alive....I'd send cash! Release another video!

Just found this channel and can’t get enough of this guy hope he comes back

The best Corvette theme show, covering everything there's to cover+a great personality. Great personality, fun to watch and learn about Corvettes.🎉❤😂

Shawn you not only transplanted the brain but also the heart into this car. Way to go, great job!

I really like this guy, naturally charismatic.

I have to agree with what everyone is saying: please come back. I found your channel just a week ago. I was so disappointed that there were only four videos. I love your content and your energy. I hope you make more videos

What happened to you?

Your videos are honestly really great. I enjoy watching from start to finish 👍🏻

Props for doing all your work on the floor and not on a hoist Shawn 👏 That's dedication to your craft.

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!! 😊❤

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.

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

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.

Oh man! Seeing you pull out that wiring harness looked like a huge nightmare! It was stressing me out!

I'd go with white!! Great job on the Corvette it's come a long way!

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.

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!

All done with simple tools and jack stands. Props to completing the build CORVETTE KING! 👏

Guy has the life a lot of us admire.

Part 2! Part 2!!! Thanks for the great videos and knowledge on the Corvette platforms! We hope you keep producing more!

I’m not a corvette guy but this channel does have me pretty interested. Can’t wait till next episode.

If I wasn't paraplegic and I was looking for a Vett, you'd be the go to guy for sure. Very impressed with her videos. You're quite the Hamm!

Shawn, I love your show, I used to watch Gotham where you were always clean, now you're down and dirty. Love it

We missed you Shawn! Glad to see you get back to it!

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

“A little labor”. Still you can’t beat a FREE Corvette!!! Excellent video!!! And a new subscriber.

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.

Your knowledge of the Corvette is unsurpassed. Absolutely amazing!!!

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!

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.

What a mechanic..and what a comedian ! I am also a subscriber for life !!

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.

What a hoot to watch! I had no idea you were that mechanical. Well done!

i just binge watched 4 videos of shawns knowledge and a good sense of humor ;i hope he returns with a fire video

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!

I'm not even a corvette guy but I wait with baited breath for your uploads! Awesome stuff dude!

Please do more vids.... I enjoy your videos. I'm sure many corvette enthusiasts feel the same way...

Yeah Shawn, hoping you are well and working on Corvettes!!🙂

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!!

Shawn KEEP VIDEOS GOING you skills and charisma on another level!! Love your content man. Dont even need to watch netflix:DDDD

You need to do more video's man your car building videos are great fun stuff !!!

Miss your videos. One of the coolest most interesting and fascinating channels!

Good to see you back, love your channel, can't wait to see more.👍

im rooting for this guy so hard! LOL great work...great videos...love it!

Love these videos!! Shawn, hope you come back soon!

Sure wish you were still making videos dude... you're super likable and I find your videos super entertaining.

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.

Great to see you back Shawn - been waiting eagerly for this next instalment. I can't wait to sit down and watch it in peace, I'm sure it will be great!!

Like to find you on Netflix, but your new show is like heaven!

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.

I’m loving this channel. Thanks for making these videos!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Candy Apple Red...there is no other choice (ok, Midnight Black, but those are the only two!) Great work, brother.

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!!

This is a better love story than Twilight. Love this build series. Incredible! Your knowledge on Vettes is superb!

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! ✝️🇺🇸🫡

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!!

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!

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

I really like the white much more than the silver, just looks so clean... 🏁

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.

Great job . Reminds me of the first time I built a ride out of two junkers. But all those wires your on another level my friend. Congrats

You are a legend for doing everything by yourself.

I enjoy your work, Shawn. My dream car is a '63 Split Window. Keep trucking. 😊

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

I love your enthusiasm and optimism even when the car was just not starting, inspiring haha

I would paint the whole car Silver. Great build! I'm loving your videos, keep it up! ❤

Love these videos Shawn. I enjoy this more than Gotham garage personally. Keep up the good work!

Been really looking forward to this update and you didn't disappoint! Very compelling content. Thanks, Shawn!

Always great content. Perfect over a cup of morning coffee. Thanks! For the color, I like the Elkhart Lake Blue off the 2020 (C8) color chart.

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.

Boy knows his shit.

Your videos are great. Been waiting for this! Thank you.

Shawn so glad you posted! I think this car needs an emerald green paint job it would look so nice

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.

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. !!!!

Shawn, you are a amazing mechanic keep up the good work

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!

Finally. love your content. production quality is excellent. Keep'em coming. tackling those wiring harnesses would have put me in the nuthouse.

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 .

Wow that’s so fricking awesome!!! Fantastic work! Fantastic filming! Fantastic video!!!

You sir make the best videos. I wish they were more frequent.

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

Shawn, you are a freaking beast man! The video quality, and the amount of work you put in to everything shows. Love your channel!

Shawn you got this David lee Roth vibe going on man. Its freakin great! Can wait to see more of the 71 build. Please keep this channel going brother!

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
