Part 1: Brian Breaks Down the Damage

September 8, 2026

From Wrecked to “The Puppy”

Before you can rebuild a wrecked truck, you have to know exactly what you’re dealing with. This Kenworth came into Car Craft Truck Works with some serious front-end damage—and Brian is giving us the full tour. The hood had been pushed back so far that the condenser was actually left with an imprint of the Mack logo from the grille. And that was just the beginning. From damaged tubing and the fan to a melted air cooler tube, cracked windshield, and more, Brian walks through the different areas that will need attention before this truck is ready to return to the road. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Brian video without a few of his usual antics along the way. But behind the fun, he’s all business when it comes to assessing the damage and determining what it will take to make this truck right again. Check out the video here for the full damage walk-around, then stay tuned for Part 2 next week, when we reveal the finished truck—and introduce you to “The Puppy.”
