I admire these kids for their effort. And one day, maybe with the right training and more experience they can become certified to do these repairs but man oh man OH MAN! Lol.

They are so totally screwed. They will end up parting that car out.

I loved that the car was totaled for less than $6000 .. Yeah right... "But that's their cost!" lol It was totaled because the frame was cracked and probably can't be fixed...

I know we are all busy. But I have to say, I wat had ALL FOUR videos so far and it was so interesting brought me back to my (moronic) teenage years working on cars at 14 and beyond. Granted I lived in a concrete jungle and didn't have the animals to keep me at peace, but nonetheless the stories I wish I had on video would make you laugh to the point of passing out

like the time I decided it was easier to remove the glass hatch of my 84 Z28 to tint it inside of the house rather than upside down. So u began to remove the exterior black caps covering the bolts or nuts underneath at the top of the window. Only they weren't caps.... a loud explosion followed and the glass hatch was now in 10000 pieces inside the car lol . On a sunday... with no garage... the following repair included a trip to a coney island chop shop (the only place doing any auto work I could find that "happened to have" what I needed lol...

I swear I watch these kids and laughed at their stumbles but have to say as SCREWED up the repair seems to be, how much different it would be at a shop?

I cant wait for the panel fitment videos at the end as all those BONDED piece placements are going to determine the finish.

No, never considered it and never will. Life's far to short to subject yourself to all the possible and probable pains and issues of purchasing a salvage or salvage rebuilt car.

Sometimes it's good thing to not know what you're getting in to. I wish them luck, and hope they succeed.

One has to admire their drive and enthusiasm. They also seem to know quite a bit about life and cars, more so than some shops out there. I hope they are successful.

I do something I NEVER do with YouTube videos when I watch. I didn't SKIP the ads.... that allows them to generate revenue and 8 didn't mind it. All because I'm a car guy and I want them to succeed (although fiberglass carbon fiber and aluminum repair to a new Corvette is something I wish they wouldn't do lol imagine the poor guy BS'd by the used car dealer or craigslist guy about well the repair was done professionally!)

Ahh hell. They have the time and willpower. But most important...they have Youtube. I wish them GL, it looks fun.

I admire them for this but I wouldnt buy the car. Most of the Corvettes that have any kind of structural damage are deemed unsafe if the engineers say they are unsafe I wouldnt trust the repairs, If I remember correctly wasnt it a Grand Sport that hit an object in the road the cracked the piece in the back about $1700 or so to repair but GM said the structural integrity was lost so it was totaled.

It wasn't totaled because the frame was cracked. It isn't a Unibody car. Hell, they could just pull the body off the frame and do a total replace, I bet there are complete undamaged (well maybe a little smoke stained) C7 frames sitting in some Corvette wrecking yard. The GM FSM shows how to repair that damage. That complete section they were pointing to is replaceable. Somebody with the correct skills and machinery can easily do that. If these brothers talk to people who know how to do this work and farm out the repairs they can't do they should be able to get the car back into excellent shape.

I started watching this after I saw it posted here. First off have you ever seen the movie "white men can't jump"? This is a prime example of some well seasoned kids acting as if this is their first rodeo !! lol when the garage first popped into view look at the tools hanging in that shop !!! wow. Then they ask ? what is Wi-Fi ? if anyone knows please comment below !!! hahahah. If you believe that I have some beach front property for sale. Then check out how many views and subscribers they have. Now back to the car, as stated the "frame" was not really cracked. It was really a support coming off the frame. Also as stated, still would have come out ahead if a new fame was needed (junk yard). notice all safety stuff, seat belts etc. were mentioned to be sent off to dealer or out for repair. These kids seem to know a little bit more than they are letting on. Looks like a great job by them. Don't know what they b paid for the car ?? but they are buying brand new replacement parts from the dealer (not cheap) !! Good luck to them and can't wait to see the end result .
