Replacing the frame rail and apron on the 2019 Ford Explorer rebuild project 

Scott: “there’s always room to make improvements over the manufacturer’s........especially when it’s Ford.” 😂😂😂

When Mr. Vehcor said "In the pile" a new Mr. Smiley was born!

I was beginning to get concerned, over 8 minutes of demolition without seeing the air chisel. Now I know all is right in the world.

His workshop is fully equipped with all kinds of tools/special tools to execute this professional job.....Well done...! Greetings from the Far East.... Ford is still a popular trucks in this part of the world but we don't see this Luxury Ford Explorer here ........ we only have the Ford Ranger series .....!

Good call on pulling out the upper beam. I could see the door pillar move when you pulled it!

Great video would love to see a life and times of mr.spotty and why he sticks around maybe some background on when he was born,family and why those painting knome's abuse him, rips me to pieces thinking about his life, hes a hero ❤

I was actually kind of disappointed to see you use the proper tools in the proper places!!👍🇺🇸

You do very good... no... great work!!! Thank you for another great video! It was nice to see a "painting Gnome". :-) I really enjoy the fact you do the little extra steps of painting things properly the manufacturer missed or doesn't paint, the cavity wax applications ... that will make the vehicle more durable and longer lasting for someone!

I always enjoy ... Seeing Mr. Spotty so Hard at Work. This time, he got a little burned.

Mr. Spotty looking dapper today!

Lol your commentary is priceless at times. Watching while I sit here at work and watch engine blocks get measured on the cmm’s .

Love the "pile cam", Scott! And I told you people would like to see the painting gnomes! I knew you would outsmart one eventually and catch them at work.

Mr. Smiley does not appreciate being thrown into the pile, just wait till he makes a workman's comp claim!

“In the pile” One of my favorite parts of these videos

changing radiator was a quick routine job back in the day...times are changing

I have to say, I appreciate the camera re-set for "in the pile" you set the camera for when you threw it, then pulled everything "out of" the pile, re-set the camera, and then re-threw everything "in the pile" lol

Awesome bit of education on the hose orientation. I have seen the painted line and the writing, but never thought about what it signified (the line). Also loved your trolling of the trolls!

My most enjoyable hammer is a cross peen hammer head with curved axe handle. It holds so good in the hand when it’s percussive persuasion time. Thanks for the vid.

Ford Rebuild Friday....I got inspired at the 14:12 mark. Went and did some much need maintenance on the E350 Super Duty. Battery terminals were pretty corroded. Cleaned them up, added felt spacers and plenty of terminal grease. New wiper blades, winter is coming....eventually....maybe, you never really know here in California. Topped off the fluids and gave her a bath. So now, back to watching to see what kind of trouble Mr. Spotty gets into.

Interesting part about the alignment of the cooling pipes and clamps. Every days a learning day. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Are you really this conscientious with every rebuild? I have a rebuilt 2008 Equinox LTZ AWD 3.4l which I purchased 6 yrs ago. Pretty satisfied except I had to do quite a bit of rust improvement underneath but the mechanical and electronics have worked very well for me. The work is not perfect but it's good enough. I don't think I would buy another rebuild but mostly it's my personal experience with many workers in my area which is Miami, FL. I do maintain my vehicles boy the book myselfo. Thanks for a very good video. So much information for free; it's pretty amazing people like you take the trouble to share. Very grateful.

Clamp Master... LOL nice job man

Best Body mechanic around another great build .

I've been watching for a while, and these videos deserve more attention! Good work man! hope to see many more vids!

There's acting body shop that just paint and replace .This body shop is a real body shop that does real work . 👍🇺🇸

I enjoy watching your videos. They're very informative and detailed. But that facial expression when you were putting that spring clamp back on the radiator hose got me rollin 🤣 lmfao 🤣

Yet again very impressed you always explain how things are done . I now you are a secret ford lover lol . This weekend is v8 car race Bathurst 1000 km long this year only very limited spectators couple thousand people . The last time Holden ever race here Scott you get chance watch it on tv it’s on Sunday here so Saturday for you thanks have great weekend mate

Long day here in Philthadelphia. Wooo.. fixen them heaters for cold weather. Great job as always. Thanks a ton for sharing. Be safe have a great weekend!!

Hmm , I wanted to write something smart but it slipped my mind . Let me just write , you are doing a great job . Kinda lame because this you know already .

My Grand Daughter loves my red Mr. Spotty Tee shirt .

Gotta appreciate the camera job around the quality collision repair job 👌

Spring claps or "Built Ford Tough"!!! Have a great weekend..

That Scott, he is at it again. NICE!

Vehcor - Better than OEM! Great video! Also i think Mr. Spotty has learned his lesson about pitching a fit from last time🙂

Incredible work ... Really glad to see the attention you pay to detail on your repairs.. Keep up the great work.

It’s just another no stang Friday. Just kidding. Nice job on the Exploder! Thank you for making these videos. I always learn something.

Your new nickname is BROHAMMER! love the videos. Thank you for your time and hard work.

I still marvel at how a plastic tank on a metal radiator will last without leaking longer than the metal tanks on metal radiators did years ago. I am also amazed that an automobile will be sitting a -15F and you start a car up and when the thermostat opens sending 190F water on to the the plastic it doesn't burst the first time and indeed lasts often for 20+ years. They sure don't make them like they used to because when I started buy new cars back in 1968 if you got 100K miles on one it was indeed a good one if you got 150K it was great. Now you see them with 250K and they are still running fine and if you don't live in the salty north the bodies will last almost as long as the engines unless it is a 3.6 Chevy and then the body will outlast the engine even in the salty north.

Your on fire today with the sarcasm,love it.not bad build 👍👍😎😎

Oddly satisfying to hear the clamps unclamp....

Dang.... Mr. Spotty takes a header in the first few minutes of the video. He must have thought the evil afternoon crew was back for more revenge. Luckily, he moved quick not to go in the pile.... "I don't do shoddy work. It's more questionable." I'm so going to steal that!

YOU make excellent videos. Enjoy very much..

"Rare sighting of a painting gnome😅😅😅"

Lovely Jubbly, coming along nicely.

Watching from Alberta Canada.. Always entertaining.🍻🤘🏻

Mr. Spotty surely had a lot of screen time on this video. It’s impressive he does his own stunts. Keep on making those improvements over the manufacturers, especially Ford.

Almost didn't make it through the whole video thanks to my "in the pile" drinking game.

I was watching swrnc but your channel is a lot more entertaining.

Painting Gnome!!! They DO exist!! 😳

You make it look so easy good work..

Excellent work

Exelente trabajo,muy eficiente,y muy buena calidad...mucho conocimiento .....

I’m early this week! And I dropped a video yesterday and one today. ✊🏽 Keep up the great work Mr. Vehcor!!!

HI, Scot. Happy new year from the UK. (, Torquay ).. love your videos.. you would be massive hit in the UK.. Cheers Shane.

Looking good should come out nice when its done

Yes want to see more of this build

Outstanding video! You are a true craftsman and a credit to your trade! I fear what will happen when our generation dies out. Who will be left to do work like this? So much of the younger generation doesn't want to learn a trade, doesn't want to work and wants everything given to them while living in their parents basement. Let's hope there are enough responsible younger people left who will follow in your footsteps.

I like the way you say "bye" the spare parts

You do good work on cars

"The Hammer Nazi's" - I spit out my coffee!!!!

You are very very talented young man, Thank u

Kind of like Arthur but in English. I'm with you on those damn spring clamps.

Awesome show

The steel toe flip flops earned you a like sir😂

Nice work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

To many ads... god you must have your own money....I really like your videos...and the extra work you put in on making a safer vehicle that what you originally bought at the salvage yard..

You've definitely cornered the market on vice-grips!

Thanks for the heads up on the locator marks on the hoses. Is that a common practice amongst all oem’s? I noticed the Bauer impact. What are your thoughts on it. Always ahead of the curve and thoughtful to being a craftsman. Thank you! Wish I were in town. It would be a no brained as where to take work.

Scott, you are truly a master at this profession.

Thanks for the video, first attempt at doing this

Lobbed a rotor into the scrap this morning exclaiming "In the pile"🤣🤣

12:40 I love your overkill use of clamps!

WOW great work 🙋‍♂️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great work Love the content could you pick up a obs Ford truck to rebuild the square body fords I like the older fords especially since I'm in the rust belt there hard to find

Nice progress on that ....FORD..!

People seriously complain because 'they think' you are using the wrong tool for the job? If it works, it's the right tool for the job.

Seems like mr.smokeydog and the Illinois DOT didn't shut you down 😂 Now back to our regularly scheduled boring build.

Keep throwing old parts I love it .

With the smoke at 0:10 I thought that blade was red hot. hehe Looking good so far.

Great videos, but I've always wondered what it would sound like if Car Cleaning Guru narrated these videos.

They’d really flip out if you used a carpenter’s claw hammer. Don’t worry about the flimsy clips, automakers will eventually fasten everything with glue, all you’ll need in your tool box will be a hot air gun and a putty knife. I first learned about spring clamps when one let go on my fingers while removing a lower radiator hose on a Honda CRV, ask me how I know.

That frame machine always reminds me of the movie Christine.

Looks nice

I didn't realize shoddy and questionable were different caliber of worksmanship, kind of thought they fell into the same category. Good to know. Looking forward to when you get back to the Mustang build....

14:37 I spotted one of the elusive paint and bodywork gnomes!

Keep up the good work men👆💪💪

I just use vice grips on those clamps ,once on you can move the clip then tighten up even more before it comes of the fixing,Theydon frighten me and of course no blood😀

The painting gnome is much taller than I thought it may be . I was thinking very short with a pointy head and scruffy beard, a distant relative of those guys that make cookies in a hollow tree.

2019 Ford Explorer- in the pile! :P

@2:09 Mr Spotty was on a roll...lol

I was gonna mention last week, the slice in the tire but at least the wheel is still OK. HOW do you get such great video capture of what you are doing so exact and to the point? I know it has to help with your voiceover but it looks studio / tech school quality. Nice pointer on the alignment of the radiator hoses & clamps. Appreciate you sharing what's important. Thank you for another one. Sonny (CT)

Alright, alright...enough stringing us along on the Mustang. lol.

los felicito por usar nuevas tecnologías para arreglar los carros con nuevos aceros

I was about to get worried you wasn't going to use the wrong hammer/tool for the right job. Then I was able to feel the seat moving away from my cheeks when the body hammer showed up. I always thought step one was to admit you had an addiction so wouldn't you be back on step 2 which would be better then back on step 1. From one of your replies to Joe Trippi keep trying you'll WIN I know you will. That's why you have to keep making vids so we can keep track of you and stay on you about something I mean them LOL.

Hi Scott, Love your videos. Just curious how does the radiator get damaged between the condenser and cooling fans and they are not? Thanks

You do really nice work, very impressed. So I have a question. In your honest opinion instead of welding the inner fender in, can that 3m panel bond be used? Ive heard that the panel bond is stronger then welding. What are your thoughts on that?

Awesome to see you working on quality. Better than those bow tie wearing abominations. Those spring clamps you love so much, I was told to swap them out as the tend to lose their springiness.

Knipex makes a special tool to open those spring clips. They’re used because in volume they are incredible cheap-20% of the cost vs screw type

Or... Slightly weak strut tower/apron welds could be part of the way the crash protection works, i.e. parts that are meant the break off easier as part of the controlled deformation that is the 'crush' area that is used to absorb forces in an impact. Better for the impact forces to use their energy ripping off a weld than the forces coming into the cabin area so you make the welds deliberately weak . This sort of thing has to be considered when rebuilding.

I appreciate this video very much. I just recently got hit on my front right fender an I have gram damage like so. I thinking it can not get fixed. How much does a repair like this cost you. How much would a shop charge. Would hope to maybe get some advice or maybe suggested shops to go work with....idrk my 2004 x type she got a fat busted lip
