Salvage yard DIYs

Today I kick off the series of DIY videos with Pull A Part used auto parts. I wanted to share some of the bloopers and outtakes from the week. Eric from EricTheCarGuy was my camera man. When you are kinda goofy, and have a great friend as your camera guy, hi jinx will ensue! This is a fun video, but the real deal videos will be coming out over the next several weeks.
