This Silverado HD took a hard hit but they tried to cover it up! How much did they get? 

I said these awhile back, but you would make an outstanding complete auto and collision repair master instructor and also the school owner. Just saying allot of young folks could be taught correctly. I think with your sense of humor, classes would be a blast.

I hope things are progressing with your shop so that you can get back to rebuilds. In the meantime, these doctored vehicle videos are interesting and informative.

$30K? I'm at a loss for words. 😦

That is absolutely insane that they would want $30K for that truck.

The pinstripe must be an inside joke with these outstanding gentlemen.

I'm thinking the pinstriping was on one of the replacement panels and they did the rest of the truck to match?

That deliberate deception should be criminal. Regardless of their intention - it's obvious that a serious attempt was made to lessen the appearance of the damage severity. I'd love to see pics from the bottom. Front suspension and diff are likely wasted. Would not be shocked to see a bent driveshaft or fractured leaf springs/U bolts. Even if the engine is usable I'd imagine that heavy diesel drivetrain wasn't too kind to all the casting bosses and mounting points when it spontaneously changed direction.

GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK, HOPE YOU GET YOUR OWN GARAGE SIR

The bed alignment on passenger side looked better before they touched it

Rattle can paint OVER a badly added pinstripe is epic! Thanks for keeping the dose of your sense of humor and your wisdom coming while (I hope) your shop gets put back together!

I spoke to my corner shop eastern Canada,inquiring about them finding me some wheels ( a beater winter truck). Just something reliable, pure utilitarian. They said that the available cars at auction was very thin. Like the various scenarios you describe, it very difficult for a shop to acquire a used vehicle, make it road worthy, safe and as reliable as an older vehicle can be. Up here, the professional business of obtaining and providing vehicles for local customers is not a good situation.

The list of replacement parts is far longer then the list of reusable parts...frame, cab, nose...I bet the only usable parts on this thing are the rear end, interior, less seatbelt and the tailgate.I am in total agreement with you on the engine and trans...even if the trans wasn't obviously broken its been so overstressed I still wouldn't use it. Lots of scrap in this pile.

I enjoy these - it's kind of fun to look at the pictures you are showing and see things that have been previously pointed out in other rigs.

Theses videos are great, we miss your repairs videos and hope you’re back up and running again soon but until then I enjoy watching you highlight these messes. Can’t believe the seller paid that much for it to start with

Thank you Scott! I hope you & yours have a great weekend! Thanks for your wisdom and insight. Can’t wait for a shop update, but know you’ll do it when the time is right. Take care 😊

Enjoying these videos, add my wishes for good news on your shop.

I really am liking these videos. Really great information. Thank You for the tips on finding the before pic of the vehicles and more details on how many times the car has been flipped on the auction. I have bought a free rebuilders . You have made me way smarter and likely saved me thousands of dollars.

They peeled off the "Don't tread on me sticker".

Good job Scott & I hope your Garage is back up & running soon, good luck 👍

I hope your videos of these criminals are putting a massive dent (pun intended) in their business model. *Thank You* for these videos Scott; most appreciated! 👍👍

Happy Saturday, Scott!🍻 Good to see you drop another video. Weird not having a Friday one! Can't wait until you are back to do rebuilds again.

Glad to still see you online thanks for not vanishing

I'm really enjoying these videos, the first thing I noticed was the pinstripe missing on the original pictures. Keep up the great videos. ✌🏻

The pinstripe cracks me up!! Great job on these videos! Thank you for making people more aware!

thank you for trying to help people althoe some people are so stunned they dont want to believe it cant wait till next one thanks scott

Thanks for helping us out with this kind of a crazy makeup and Sell Auction stuff!! Hopefully you are well things together after the Big Fire!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada

I was going to go into my subscription list to make sure you were still posting scott, nice to see you again, greetings from Ireland

man hope you get a shop soon miss your vids outstanding work even without zipties and drywall screws

Thanks. Love your videos and your great narration.

Exactly what I thought also. 5k truck at best. Expensive parts to rebuild

Thanks for the video Scott.

Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work

Great insight Scott! All buyers should see your "looking at cars". Head rubs for the Supervisor!! Cheers for the Pizza lady! Rich

Good to see your still caring about people been a minute keep up the great work:)

Hope all is well for you after the little "incident". Thanks for all your content.

I do miss your expert rebuilds & unique commentary. I will be here when you get back to doing what you do. Good luck

Keep these videos coming and please open your own shop. We need an update on the burnt shop. Hope all is well and cheers from Missouri

Love your humour loved the video thanks, hope you get a workshop soon thank you 😊

Good social service so people don’t get scammed. Hope u get a shop soon. Keep the videos coming.

What gets me is how the bed looks so much more misaligned the 2nd go around, that and the hood being pushed up when the front bumper looked like it wasn't pushed back stood out immediately to me

Man Scottie you have eyes of an eagle . There is always something to learn watching your videos .

Another great video thank you for your experience.

GREAT STUFF very informative...

Easy fix! New cab, frame, bed, front clip and suspension, firewall forward wiring harness, various plastics for engine bay. Just like new!

Absolutely stunning that this is allowed to happen.

Just keep the videos coming regardless which topic it is. I enjoy all the topics.

Thank you for posting the video 👍💯

The under hood picture tells the story. Pinstriping with spray paint over it was a rookie move for sure.

You are doing good deeds for people who try to rebuild cars , God bless you Scott

Keep it up..... this is helpful info for builders thrybg to make a living wothout being taken. lots of crooks out there.

The used parts had pinstripes so they added it to match.

What amazed me actually is that the bed was worse in the after... shifted over further. You would think that they would take a few minutes to try to make the box line up so that it looks better, instead it was even further off the frame in the after shots... so all the bed bolts are broken off?

You do important work with these videos you deserve more attention

Love these types of videos!

You teach me something new every time I watch

WOW!I can buy a decent interior and 3 (maybe) good wheels for ONLY $30,000?What a deal!Thanks Scott for showing us the slimy underbelly of auction vehicles.

Good lessons learned,purely entertainment and thanks for the heads up🤗😎🤗😎

Wow that thing was parts only the way it looked. So not including the original mileage is another way to deceive prospective buyers? Thx good to see your videos again!!! Hope things are starting to work out for you

30 grand for a truck with a bent up frame? LOL

This video was bad ass ...keep them coming

The pinstripe was a nice touch.

Just looking at the second doctored photo, it looks like severe frame damage from a very bad left front impact. We'll see when we get to the original photos.

Very cool series!

I was recently in an accident similar to this but not at this speed. However, the insurance still totaled out the vehicle even though the airbags did not deploy as well.

Love these videos 📹

Wow! That truck was destroyed! If it wasn't for the previous purchase history, nobody would ever know how this truck was doctored up. Hopefully these people lose enough where they will be out of business. Another great video!

Pinstripe was put on because the front fender is from a lower model.. those probably had stripes on them. So they had to continue on.

I fell a victim to this Exact Truck this morning!! Watching the auctions this had come across and I threw a winning bid in at $5300. Shortly after winning i googled the vin and came across this video and my Heart Dropped in to my stomach and then into my A$$. THANK THE LORD my winning bid of $5300 was rejected by the seller. This should be a crime!!!!

I'm wondering if it was parked. No airbags on that much of a hit.

That door reminds me of the Top Gear episode where Jeremy duct taped the replacement van door on. It looks like they broke the windshield while doctoring this one up.

Looking at the original photos confirms the severe frame damage. With the price they are asking, by the time the truck was repaired, it would end up costing more than the truck was worth. Might be economical at the price they paid for it originally? Here in Australia, that truck would be a Statutory Write-off, which equals a Parts Title. So no way it would get repaired here in Australia and the scammers would not be able to do what they are doing.

One thing was blatantly obvious to me from a number of angles and surprisingly not promoted by the seller is that the trailer hitch survived unscathed. lol .. Thanks for this interesting video.

Excellent video series Scott. Don't know how this truck could be rebuilt and still bring the repairman much to any kind of profit?

Parts only vehicle!

Great video

Great video.

Good to see you back States need to do more to keep this junk off the road

Digging it Scott. I wonder if the Bullguard bumper freaked out the air bag sensors?

Reminds me of a refugee from a state fairgrounds tough truck competition.

Just had to drop in and give you the thumbs up

love your videos.

Keep up the good work

Oh you for got other tool to repair this Truck…. Jb weld!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and drywall screws ziptie and bubble gum… man I love watching your videos keep them Coming!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

great video

It’s been said, the Ranch Hand bumper like on the front require higher impact to activate airbags.

Nice job, man.

Wow you could see how far the front bumper moved over!

I like seeing the before and after.. People know how to scam others who don't know what they're looking at. .

So missed the installment yesterday

About all adding the pins stripe on, highlighted the mis alignment of the panels.

I am willing to bet this also needs a front diff housing as that much sideways push, it no doubt drove that CV shaft into the housing and cracked that front housing.

Another nice one!

Scott not sure i would even give 5k for it. Hope you and the pizza lady are doing good on rebuilding your shop.

That's someone's nightmare. The pin strip gets me. LoL

How is the shop searching going vehcor

a lot of resources online available..a lot of these dealer doctored cars aren't selling anymore...

That was a very sharp looking vehicle before it played a game of bumper cars. Needs new cab, bed, engine & trans and frame. Sounds like new truck time. :)

good job !!!!!!
