I want to start off by saying that Sam with this channel is probably the most thorough and educated on the topic of buying rebuildable cars. He doesn't sugar coat or gloss over ANY of the important facts that are necessary to make an intelligent decision in your purchase. He knows his subject and explains it well so all of us can learn from his experience. Thank you Sam for your dedication to helping us succeed. Now on the topic of hail damage. I think in the world of repairable cars, i personally like hail damage, vandalized and other non-major structural repairs. I know Sam disagrees with me but with dent-less paint removal being as good as it is and the availability of OEM parts at pull a part junkyards, it's just easier for the DIYer to fix these types of cars. I'm not a body shop and the costs associated with them are so high. I don't want to be worrying about structure problems with undercarriage issues and getting panel fit to be acceptable when i can just just have one guy fix all the problems without the labor of any removal of body panels and paint work. My personal favor is vandalized vehicles because a lot of them are interior related with destroyed dashes due to people trying to steal the radio. It might take me a year or so to hunt down all the color coded interior parts but i can do that in a rolling restoration type format. You're buying from Insurance companies which tend to be better sellers than dealers and i'm getting a car with a great engine and transmission with little worries of mechanical issues. I hope Sam spends some future time on vandalized cars as most of his viewers are NOT auto body techs and focus on the cars that average people can fix with little to no effort but save a ton of money. Thanks
