I for one would love to see more of the 'parts' side of your work, as always, thanks for taking us along.

I was in Vehcor withdrawal. Thanks for posting!

Scott I have my Daughter's old Grand AM. I should just give it to you. She over heated the engine. She bought a newer car. I bought a good running motor to replace the bad one. That has been 3-4 year ago. My Get-up-and-go gets up and leaves before I get up anymore. LOL That is why I am retired. I really enjoy watching your videos as you make dissembling them look so easy. Your a skilled tradesman. There are few around anymore.

Very interesting to see the "behind the scenes" video. Please do more of these Scott!! Thanks for your great videos!!!

One man's junk - the other man's gold. I visited a friend (a carpart hoarder). He asked why I wasn't driving my car. I answered that it was raining and my viper motor was dead. I disappeared and came back with a perfectly working used one. To me it was cheap, and he made some money. Next day I slapped it in, and I was rolling again.

Reminds me of my mother picking her way through a Thanksgiving Turkey pulling everything edible and then making soup from the remainder. Loved the soup! 👍👍👍

Reminds me of when I used to buy 8-12 parts cars per year when I was young, strip them, and sell the good bits for profit. You had to pay the guy with a crane truck $200 to get rid of an empty shell. Then the local scrapyard told me I could bring the shell to them on the trailer, and they’d take it for free. They simply lifted it off with a forklift. It was much harder to strip a car sitting on a car trailer, but hey, $200 was a big saving in the early 90s. Then that scrapyard closed, and the other one would only let you drop off for free if you unloaded it. I didn’t want to leave a a diff or front end in these wrecks, so I couldn’t roll a shell off. I ended up cutting them up into moveable chunks. I could fit 4 shells in pieces in the car trailer. I still have a scar where I tripped when cutting through the rear floor pan, and literally “sat” on the stump of the B-pillar I’d cut earlier. It sliced open the back of my thigh, below my butt. A hard lesson learned. But how times changed. Scrap value increased dramatically. By 2000, they would pick up a bare shell for free. By 2005 they would leave $50 in the letterbox. Last lot of scrapping I did in 2010 was 1 shell, heaps of panels, and a few appliances, and that got me $250.

I bought a $150 car once. Late 2016, my first ever public auction. A 1999 Ford Taurus wagon with the Vulcan 3 point slow. And it ran too. I didn't have a use for it for several months, but I used it as my daily for a year when my old Mitsubishi got totaled. And it didn't give me any trouble, so that car was well worth it.

This just serves to remind me that I need to take my scrap pile to the recycler. I thought I was the only one that got enjoyment out of taking the parts cars apart. I really need to up my storage game, though. The pole barn is getting mighty full. I like these types of video's, Scott. Keep 'em coming!

Would enjoy a Mr. Spotty docu-drama. From humble beginings to his role in focusing your you tube video career. His sticktoitness is legendary. Always willing to help out in a jamb, Mr. Spotty's story deserves to be told.

Nothing wrong with hard work, but nothing wrong with working smartly. :)

Great job Scott! Persistence and patience pays off. I think you got a doctorate in the two P’s above. You’re so blessed to have that recycling center so close. I’d have never guessed you’d have gotten that much money for your scrap. That just helps fund future projects and maybe a pizza. I bet you know where you can get one. And yes, whatever content you put out there for us, I’ll be in the front row. Have a great one! 😊

I'd definitely like to see more video's like this one

Scott, I'm all for more parts videos. Keep them coming if you can! Thanks for all the interesting content!

That is one OLD cart Scott! They built things a little different back then. 😁 Informative video!

Keep these videos coming, Scott. I really enjoy watching how it all works.

Scott's mysterious Emporium resolved after all these years...lol👍👍👍.

I love to see any content. Thanks for taking the time to entertain and educate us all. You're definitely a master at your craft.

The infamous Grand Am Emporium! Woot!

Never would believe that much weight. You make it look easy

I really like the behind the scenes stuff. More would be great.

Funny thing, we just took our first load of scrap in to the recyclers last week. Clean steel is now worth $220 per tonne (metric ton) here in Australia. We had an old steel rainwater tank packed with scrap and we got $105 for 480Kg. Yes, we are metric here!

Happy Saturday, Scott! 🍻 It's good to see your videos again!

This dude is a machine and an artist at the same time-- quite awesome to see you in action...you are truley in your element!

Honestly any video you post has my attention, so please keep doing what you choose to and Il still look forward to them no matter what.

I would really enjoy seeing more videos on the parts side of your business. I recently had to scrap my own hoard. Time to relocate to a new part of the world and build a new hoard. I'd love to see how you run things behind the scenes. I hope you're getting everything sorted out on your end Scott. Thanks for another great video.

Your garage has so many cool tools. I can't resist using the "long hammer" at 15:26 as the sword of Damocles 🤩

From across the Pond, great stuff, Regards Doug

Good Grief Scott, here in Sunny Rust nearly Free Australia 🇦🇺 we would take that in a fused lump to the scrap yard. Well done!

Pretty good rebate .Yes,more scrap videos please.

I enjoyed that video! You mentioned that auto shredder. I work for Cat. I service one engine for SA Recycling in Columbus Ohio. It is a huge 3516 Cat that drives the shredder. It gets used and abused. It's only 5 years old and has 7000hrs.

Yeah that would be cool to see more Scotts Parts Imporium videos.

Like all your videos, think you could do a narration on watching paint dry, the sarcasm & irony would just flow out and get loads of comments.

Parts please! We all love scrap too.

3:21 "the part I enjoy the most, taking apart cars" My biz wasn't going so good and I needed to get a job. A local scrap yard had an opening for a car dismantler. Had I been younger and in better physical condition I would have jumped on it. $20/hr to take stuff apart? SIGN ME UP!! yeah, you had to inventory it and assign a upc etc. but so what? I literally couldn't think up a better job. As a kid I loved taking things apart to see how they worked......

Yes absolutely make more..we love that you're so transparent and don't hide anything. I don't get why so many KZfaqrs and business owners feel the need to hide stuff or make stuff up. I've fixed and sold cars for 15 years...I've never hid anything. I'm always transparent and honest. This is why you're the only rebuilder I would ever buy from. You're awesome Scott. Thank you.

Time consuming but thats the proper way to dismantle and recycle a car

Honestly this is the type of videos i love, cause its what i do also, on top of fixing cars, hauling them for scrap and salvaging the good stuff ! Keep up the good work scott !!

Interesting side to the business.I guessed way low at $300,shows what I know about the scrap market.Good to see you back BTW.

I also would like to see more of your parts side, thanks.

I’m doing a sunroof swap on my dart lol, your videos made me want to do that lol Great video Scott

Yes I did enjoy this video. I know that trying to find some hotrod builder who can still use some of the pieces is too time consuming for it to be a serious money thing. I had a subaru repair business in Anchorage Alaska. I also had a place to store parts for other subaru's and because saving parts is money in the bank. I know this is probably not a good idea to bore you the what and why's but something compels me to say a touch more. I could sell a complete car for say a thousand dollars in the nineties but if parted out, people who came to my shop had the choice of use as to new parts. New parts for these cars then were quite expensive. Now if I had a junky but running rig, I would offer it for cheap to people who just needed a rig that went from point "A" to point "B". The nicer rigs that I had were not that much more in value to sell and I sold parts very very easy. So a running rig was say worth fifteen hundred on the lot, was worth say ten times in parts. You don't sell parts that are junk, only the good parts are sold as they fixed themselves or if I installed them, my mechanics installed them and that made me money, the mechanic had a job, and that would for lack of too much more explanations.... fifteen thousand dollars. All meaning if I got a really nice car that only sold for fifteen hundred ..... I took those nicest rigs, completely disassembled them and into inventory. Yes that also has a life expectancy and for years there was no other real competition for any jap rigs that could go through our snow in the winter. A really nice rig all disassembled and into parts would sell very quick. If it sat on the lot, people who are poor do not care if their rig is a nice one or not, as they only drove them say four months out of the year. Snow gone and out came their Cadillac's or nicer rigs anyway. Rust is just as bad here in Alaska as many places where salt is a problem and Anchorage is right on the ocean. You go inland and the salt is no longer a problem. I would go out in the valley where rust was not a issue and buy them cheap because they never knew how to fix them. Most of those nice rigs were just given to me to remove them from their property. Take that nice one to my shop and part it out..... you can guess the rest and I could sell every good part very quick. Now most repairs on these rigs took very very few tools. A mechanic only had a small tool box that could be carried with one hand. His service rig was just a old pickup and had a great heater. I would send my service mechanic out and repair someones rig at their home, save them from cluttering my shop up.... I just know that you can see where this all goes. I made a ton of money and paid my mechanics good money, they had their job and it also was a job that paid un employment insurance, the whole ball of wax. I was making around two hundred thousand a year for my time and someone else did all the work. I was able to save around a half million in seven years. Now this is really out there but when you tear cars apart, the change in peoples pockets fell under seats and other places. All that money went into buckets and to keep people from putting that change in their pocket, I would have a drawing from say three of my mechanics would win a bucket of money. You might have a problem believing how much money was in those buckets but I can tell you that there would be close to five hundred dollars in just one bucket and that kept them honest. You either put say seven dollars or a lot more out of just one car in your pocket or take the chance of being one of the three winners. I had twenty mechanics. I also had a lot more buckets of change than just three. A mechanic had the chance to get a large bonus for being honest and christmas comes every year!!! Now it may not be honest but this is un recorded income. I had a large repair business and had many buckets that the bank would do the honors of rolling up all that change for me. I also got a nice bonus for me. One uncle sam never got a dime of.... funny that change is dimes and nickels.... get the irony of it?

I love all the videos…especially the “behind the scenes” like this.

that was interesting Scott, I thank you for allowing us to watch and if you don't mind more vids like would be great

Hey Scott all your videos are are worth watching Thank you for taking us with you

could you have found a LARGER fork lift? nah, I love overkill. keep 'em coming!

Now that’s a pretty sweet wall decor! 19:40

hello you are doing it right always happy with your friday or saturday update .have a nice weekend greetings from Curacao dutch caribbean

I have a strange feeling that as soon as you get rid if that , you'll be looking for a "B" pillar for one of those! But' you probably have several at Scott's Grand Am Emporium!

I can't believe you guys are getting $180 a ton, here in the western great white north we are at $65 a ton clean, if it not clean then we only get $15 a ton. Scott anything you are willing to share is good content but never feel obligated to share it, it is your private info but it is fun to see the difference

Scott - it looks and sounds like an absolute minter - (as in worth a lot - minted, its a UK thing) great to see you separating your metals to get the most back out of it, hell yeah, why throw it away when someone will pay you for it, i do the same with aviation parts, and not only that respect to you, you are possibly one of the only people i see working on real cars covered in real dirt and rust, those that are not brand new with shiny nuts and bolts that fall undone, them there knuckles fell apart, wish i could do that with my Audi, but i need a press, steel in steel, none of ya nasty cheap lightweight alloy road parts see i'm rebuilding my poor old Audi S3 and in need of silly things like the naff plastic fasteners, bungs and general rubbish which gets overlooked and thrown out - if i was in a scrap yard, i'd try to get as many of those and add to a jar, box whatever of Audi bits, and the same for other cars, and i'm also after other fasteners that them Germans like, like the plastic clips for holding the soundproof sheet to the underside of the bonnet sorry hood, when you ty to remove these, they snap, so tedious i hate them but i am happy to say that my 24 year old S3 is in not bad a condition, even the bottoms of the doors have lasted fairly well, drivers one needs a tad of weld, if not a small patch adding in, and the passenger side got dented behind the door handle and ripped, them people that had been there before, you know them well Scott, had filled it without welding, and over time, decided to split, so i am going to try and weld up, reduce the dent and fill with less filler, well i do mean attempt as its a first time welding you make the same comment i used to working on Land Rovers, all the rust on the floor, bag it, add water, instant restoration kit for filling in the holes - great content Scott

Nice change from your usual

I used to live by Lemont 10 years ago.. thankfully i moved to Vegas or my chevy truck would have been rusted out by now. You do great work Scott.. wish i knew you back when i lived there!

I just remembered that you have a body swap project at the family barn. It's been so long I almost forgot!

Thanks for the video Scott.

Both the rebuild and "scrapping" sides are good to watch. Smart to have the trailer available to handle parts only once.

Enjoy your videos..I am amazed at what you do with a smashed car! I had no idea you could do that! I also didn't know how much plastic and snap together bits and pieces cars have now.. better be nice to pizza girl or she will kick your ass😊

That's a huge transaxle!

Nice to see a different side to your business. The side that's just taken for granted. I was surprised to see how much the scrap was worth. Well worth the effort.

You’re definitely the Grand Am Man! Might want to trademark that Get the domain name too

Great video as always,enjoyed,just keep doing what your doing and carry on.😎😎😎👍👍👍

I don't know if I want more videos like this. But I can say I enjoyed watching it. So if you want to make more of then, I will watch them.

Yeah.. For sure break down all the details you can.. Do you make money by selling parts? Or just use them on your rebuilds? You should do a video fixing your trailer gate too.. It's all interesting content.

Hey Scott, hello from your sister city of rust and corruption of SLC Utah

Yes show more on parts side

yes, "behind the scenes" would be awesome to watch !

You know what they say;" One man's junk is another man's...well junk, but still." Thanks for showing us where 'the pile' goes.

All your videos are good.

I collect 2003 and up Crown Vics and Grand Marquis and parts. Since they no longer make what I would call cars, I want to make sure I have enough stuff to keep a real car going for a very long time.

Love ALL of your videos….

I would never have thought that their was that much weight of scrap metal there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

That was really enjoyable watching thanks
