(Pt. 1/2) The next LeeC Parts challenge? Rebuild this 2008 Corvette C6 from Copart with ONLY parts we already have in stock! I've been on the hunt for a light wrecked LS3 C6 Corvette for a rare (for us) rebuild project and we finally found one!
Is it going to go as smooth as I think it is or did I overlook something?
Have a salvage Corvette rebuild story of your own? Tell us in the comments!
Stay tuned for part two coming out in just a few short days!

Cool ride for sure. Sorry I Gotta say it fellas, you all were freaking me out standing under the vette with only the Forklift holding it up. Don’t know you all but still don’t want you guys to get hurt. I’ve seen hydraulics fail on heavy equipment, it’s a scary thing to see. Hope the Forklift had a safety lock of some sorts on it.

C6 can be opened with the physical key inside the FOB at the trunk. Read the manual, it's in there! I have a 4LT GS M6 and you can keep the dash from lifting by using leather conditioner monthly. I've had zero issues.

Have you ever seen a video (Maybe Tiktok?) of a guy showing how to get into a locked car with your keys inside. They just took duck tape w/ loops as making handles to grab with on one bottom end and vertically stuck onto those pieces on window. Then go across vertically w/ horizontal strips overlapping vertical pieces using handle tabs to slowly work the widow motor down low enough to then just reach in and unlock. It looked clever of course Ive never tried it or had too yet lol..

Thanks for making a video like this, because these types of videos are really fun to watch. I actually like the polished wheels on the car better than the black wheels. I'd be interested to see how the car looks with a ZO6 or GS factory duck tail spoiler on it compared to the ZR1 style spoiler that's on the car. Are you going to film any of the process that is required for the state police to deem the car road worthy? Personally, I think that would be interesting. Looking forward to the next video
@scraplifegarage
@scraplifegarage 2 года назад
I won’t be able to film inside the inspection station, but I’ll film what I can! Unfortunately the paint is messed up under the spoiler so it’s a zr1 spoiler or a bumper repaint

You should cover the blades of the fork lift with something like thick paint or some sort of rhino lining. Those blades are carbon steel. If carbon steel comes I to contact with stainless steel, it causes corrosion.

Very nice for the money, I know or think these are more of a salvage parts place more so than a garage full of techs but am sure the alignment has nothing to do with noise from suspension. With that damage, I'm sure its a wheel bearing but will keep watching to see if I'm wrong. Love this channel.

I rebuilt 8 totaled C5's (2 ZO6's) mostly as a hobby but made good money on all of them. My buddy Shirl Dickey did it for a living and did 28. Ten years ago, I decided to do one more to use up most of my Ebay Vette parts. It was a Torch red FRC, just what I wanted with 40K miles. Man, was it fucked up. I replaced every body part except the roof (I did that twice on the ZO6's) and the doors. The frame was beyond fixing so I cut it off at the firewall and welded a junkyard one on. All 20 dimensions in the Vette manual has were within 1/6" for the frame. I paid $3,900.00 for it and had $7,200.00 in it when finished (10 years ago). It has 60K miles on it now so at 77 it'll probably outlast me. I love that car. Well, except for the $679.00 speeding ticket I got.

When I was doing that I bid on a black 2004 with 6,500 miles. The other Copart bidders must have been asleep and I got it for $6,500.00. It was in and out of my shop in three days. It would have been my forever Vette if it hadn't been an A/T. A guy bought it for 16K for his girlfriend.
@Kyle7K
@Kyle7K 2 года назад
I bought a C6 that looked identical to this in damage. Got it home and lifted and the frame was a disaster. Not just bent in a few places but the frame was "accordioned" in at least one spot. We thought about how the damage we saw could have been done and the only thing we could come up with is that it went airborn. Luckily I bought afrom a reputable guy that I have bought a few corvettes from to rebuild and this one was just one that he bought and never had a chance to look at before he left for the winter. I purchased it from him in September after he already left, picked up the following March and he had never lifted it before he even returned. He was happy to take it back once we looked under together. I was so frustrated at that point, I just went and bought a 2 owner clean title car instead! It was spring time and I just wanted to drive, not fix. Now looking for a C6 GS to rebuild if anyone has something!
