Putting the roof back on the convertible Silverado rollover

Enough with the topless look, it is time to cover up the Silverado for winter. We will do some trimming on both the cab and the parts. Then we will get everything prepped and figure out how we are going to get this thing back in one piece. Maybe I should order a pizza for this.....

You make it look so simple. But it’s only your experience that allows it to look so easy. Good job!

[ditherdather]

My favorite aspect of your builds is that you take a bunch of destroyed vehicles and use them to make a couple complete good ones. It's so resourceful and I love that.

Nooo, don't stop now, I want to see more, I have no patience to wait for the next episode !

As someone whose former position was ruining the resale value of hundreds of vehicles (I built cop cars for a living), The best trick I had for not giving the sheetmetal extra nipples when drilling through a panel was to drop a deep well socket over the bit. Depending on the size of the bit in question, it'll still give you 1/2-1" drill depth, but a zero percent chance of introducing the bit to the outer panel at a high rate of speed.
Also, I don't know what you're using for 1/8" bits, but Harbor freight has double ended machinists bits that are less than 10.00 for 8 (16 drilling ends). They're pretty good for drilling through sheetmetal (due to the short length), and will drill through anything... Once (to include high strength steel). Plus they're cheap enough to be abused as the job dictates.

Dude, I can't believe the amount of detail and insane worksmanship you're putting into this Gen 1 Silverado SWB. UNBELIEVABLE. But I like it. And I would buy anything you've worked on. One of the best car channels on YouTube. 😉👍🏻

Man this was really cool. Look forward to more videos on this truck, Wish I knew how to do body work so I could criticize and troll you.

[buckpowers]

Its good to watch a job done correctly. The reinforcement pieces used in splicing the cab back together just make a pro job worthy of seeing quality in a repair. Hat off the superior work.

[TheIronMedic]

Have you ever thought about how many times you have said "In the pile"?? Just a thought I had. I've been watching you for a long time now love the content what you can to to a wreck is awesome 👌.

[nosefirst]

This is work I will never be able to do. I always tell myself not to watch these videos because they take so much time, but they are so interesting I can't help it.

[brianb]

My OCD loves the calm attention to detail you give each project. But it was also very bothered by the "FLAMABLE SLOVENTS" sign at 13:01. LOL.

[dannyspears]

You are as much of a restorer as a rebuilder, love seeing this Chevy getting back in service rather than a scrap yard . Great build as always Scott .

[mikeanderson]

A true proffessional at work. Fun to see some one actually doing a repair the correct way, instead of taking the shortcuts that are far to common in this line of work. You, Sir, are an expert!

[cmh]

As someone who is in the business, you continue to impress me with your skills and quality workmanship.

[jifi-]

Impressive jigsaw puzzle you have there, Scott. Amazing strategy for using the corner pieces. 😀

[frankallenjr]

Scott, you make replacing panels look so easy! Truck is looking good. Hope you are throwing that chrome wheel well trim in the pile.
Looking forward to the end result!

[DAKOTANSHELBY]

I follow your channel regularly. I knew you were in the Greater Chicago area, but until you drove the Silverado through town I didn't know it was Lemont. I escaped IL 3 years ago having moved from Plainfield/Naperville area to West Michigan. Love your humor. Best continued success in your business and videos.

[richrichardson]

Nice job, I've often wondered when I see roofs being chopped and they but weld the two sections with and with out backer metal how strong they really are or would be, you've answered my question in your video

[bwholz]

I remember doing heaps of these types of repairs in the 90, s I miss doing them now. But I sure enjoy your videos keep up the great work. ✌

[larrybe]

This particular rebuild had me with the same feeling I have had when interested in a good baseball game. Both are slow paced but the intensity is riveting for the outcome. One remake like this just shows the viewer the true craftsmanship involved and to do it all to be within 1/4 inch from an entirely separated body piece. One can understand and should never question rates charged knowing the experience behind the work. Your skill has been obvious long before I write this but this effort truly highlights in a compressed way what you can do. Good job.

I gotta say Scott your LOL counter was triggered about 45 times in this one. I like to fell out on the floor🤣 when you talked about the internet UV filter in old computers and screens! What a riot! TI have thought about that (no joke) when people are welding! You taught us the right way and made it so funny I almost had a spell. Not only are your builds the best but your humor is 100% spot on. Where else in a world of crazies can we get this quality of content and laugh so hard we hurt as well. God bless you I feel like you are the kind of person I'd like to hang out with. I'm 71, a builder and a doer all my life. The keyboard welders comment was NOT lost on me! WOW keep the GREAT content coming!!!!😆
