2017 Silverado Z71 Project - Full Build start to finish

Picked this Truck up for about $16,800 from insurance auction, it had only 700 miles. I ended up installing a 6" lift on it an 35s, not shown in this video, but with all the repairs and different parts im about $27,000 total into this truck. Not to bad for a $50,000 truck, yes its salvage title, but who cares i did all the work so i know this truck like the back of my hand and i know i tried to do thing the best because i was doing it for myself. Hope you guys enjoyed the video.

I work in a shop that does this professionally, we turn out a Silverado hit like this in about two weeks. The fact that you did this in your drive way with no air tool is super impressive...keep up the good work

[josethebeast]

honestly the only reason that the truck looks that good is because the kid did all the hard work

[wolf_bloodlamb_]

Bro we all know this is clearly the kid did all the work

[savagejulian]

The fact that you not only included your son in the project but did an amazing job too is astonishing and really inspirational, i remember growing up and working on cars with my father, it was one hell of a thing to do and something that really helped us bond, keep up the good work and im so happy youve found success in doing something you love as well as being able to include your child in it, and im proud of you for being interactive with your subscribers and comment section too, you are as i believe what all youtubers should be, a true inspiration

[marstheknife]

I love how these videos show that cars in a some sort of junk or crash can be replaced and be used again, great work!

[lilbuddylee]

Nice to have the little guy helping you.

[pvnugget]

Ur a genius by using the seat to install the doors, I would’ve never thought of that, good job 👍 👍👌👏

[randyyonkins]

You have a lot more patience than I ever would have. It was spectacular body work you done and how clean you did it, the body lines turned out amazing and perfect. And the one thing people don't understand is that this type of work doesn't take days but months or years to get it done correctly and accurately to get it to that perfect image. All I can say is great work you are truly an inspiration.

[eithenprice]

You're incredibly talented After highschool I want to be just like Thank you for showing me my dreams are possible....

[jorgegarcia]

Thats amazing, little guy gonna grow up to be like his father haha

[cisko]

This dude didn’t use any air tools in the beginning and welds with his sandals on!!

[danielaguirre]

Seeing you do this make me want to fix anything. It could be done. Inspired me.

[Robsav-yxvi]

Man ... the little man is just as hard working
As Dad . Really awesome to see you spend
Quality time with him and accomplish a project.
I know it’s a lot more time but worth every memory.
Hug that little man from us ! Great work btw

[dr.iaintnodr.]

For the people who know how to fix broken trucks this was a steal brother

[SvtRaptor]

You are a bad ass, it looks awesome, i have the same truck but paid the sticker lol. I cant burn the tires like that tho

[chefcurry]

The fact that your kid moved the camera to a better angle is cool

[bdrseck]
