Following the rules seems to be hard so if you don't have to, neither do I. Lets put this G8 back together using some of the parts from out flood car so that we can... well you are going to have to wait and find out what happened to it.

@@vehcor I've got a 2010 Malibu and in July 2020 I replaced the struts and tie rod ends, mainly because the stealership wanted to charge me two arms and a leg just to replace the tie rod ends, and I was able to reuse the sway bar links which were replaced back in 2018, and I drive in the Canadian rust belt. The only parts that needed percussive maintenance to remove were the old worn brake rotors. They were seized pretty good to the hubs.

Dear Scott's emporium owner. 👍👌👏 I'm really glad that you repaired the car that wasn't much damaged at all. A lot of people can't afford to buy new or relatively new cars. So Scott's emporium is a great way to purchase a used, rust free, well serviced and clean car. I would definitely rather buy a professionally repaired, used car here than a non accidental used car at any typical car dealership or shop. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

I'm 52, and have been a big fan of your work, the production of your videos, I laugh out loud at your jokes, just fantastic. So out of nowhere, last night I had a dream, you were working your ass off, (I've been watching a lot of your builds lately) and it just hit home so hard, as to kids today for the most part don't have a clue.. I operate heavy equipment, worked my ass off my whole life.. I really have nothing more to say other than thank you for being such a hard working cool man, I truly hope there is a next generation to take over some day, you probably have forgotten more then most will ever learn.. 588-2300 Empire!

I bought a Flood Car for $150.00. It was a 1997 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible. I stripped it down and completely cleaned it from the wheels to the Head Liner's. I did all the work myself, and this was in 2004. I played with it three years and sold it with a full discloser and receipts of over a man who wanted it because it was such a beautiful car and he has entered it in many Car Shows including the Branson Missouri and big Sedalia and many other shows and has taken a Trophy in every showing. If you are a Mechanic there is no reason why you should not buy them and rebuild them. The Car today is worth in the neighborhood of %55,000.00.
