Junkyard 1957 Chevy First Start in 39 years - Vice Grip Garage EP13
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ม.ค. 2019
- We pulled home a forgotten about junkyard 1957 Chevrolet Belair that was last plated in 1979! Two of my boys age 8 and 6 help me put a fresh 355 Small Block Chevy and a 2 speed power glide in it creating it's first start in 39 years! Immediately after being refreshed and placed back on the road, I received an offer for the car and she had to go! She's currently over sea's tearing up asphalt and being enjoyed by its new owner. I'm glad we were able to revive another part of american classic car history.

Watching this for the eleventy-seventh time. This is a masterpiece. You deserve your own cable show. I like how you got the kids in there banging away. Thanks man, we Midwest guys have the answers I think. Well, I don't but you...do...
thank you sir - really appreciate that!
@jackson meads Just an expression brother...
Right!! 😎
I don’t know how you have the energy working on so many of these cars
I know you work a million times harder on these things when the camera is off and the planing and recording and editing I would be too overwhelmed lol you are a true American creative and inspiring great work ethics with a great sense of humor one of favorite channels i found your 80s camaro you fixed up I have a 1984 berlinetta 305 very nice shape just needs a good 100 dollar paint job
@@toomanyhobbies2011 and now he has a TV show that was actually good.
It's funny to see how the Derek-isms have evolved throughout the years.
I was just thinking the same thing 😂 also he looks like a baby here for some reason 😂
@@jrkbgk1111 a fella's beard hadn't grown in give him a break lol
@@jbzrs I know lol, it's just crazy to see him so young looking lol
Not being mean but it's definitely because of the bit of weight a guy put on
@@johnathancolegrove1308 agreed. But he’s more relatable when he’s like he is now. For me anyway lol. I used to be skinny then the dad bod came in prematurely lol
Look at you young skinny buck! Great videos even back then.
You have certainly come a long way from wrenching on these in your home garage. Very humble beginnings, you deserve all the success you now have good sir!
I worked with my dad on cars and trucks. We always had fun. Great memories for your boys. You're a good dad.
Thanks Joseph, really appreciate that! Hope to keep the culture alive!
Yep I was gonna say the same thing. Many fond memories of wrenching on a 1979 Triumph TR7 and a 1963 Dodge with my dad. I'm only 22 so its good to see some kids even younger getting exposed to these awesome machines.
Was about to say how nice it is to see a father working on something with his boys, but here it is pinned :)
hey brother love your content man, love how you include your family in the lifestyle to, because of your show, you've inspired an island boy to love the car hobby even more, much love brother!!! #i'llbedipt
Beautiful!👏
I finally caught the 57 Chevrolet build for the burn out in the intros! Look how far a guy has come. Home garage, to shop, and now multiple lifts in a different state. What a natural talent.
As a Grandfather, I say: Great to have the kids right by your side!
Trying to keep the culture alive!
Iam a grandpa too, write now me and my 2 sons are working on restoring a 1972 Chevy El Camino and we also include my granddaughters, LOTS OF FUN.
Your son's gonna be an awesome mechanic when he grows up because of awesome fathering.
Appreciate that!
Watching this in Dec 2020 about a year from when it debuted. Wow, have your video production skills improved. And, clearly in that time you have also created your own unique video personality which is obviously a hit.
A good man has found his place by the grace of God. And the Vise Grip Garage has obviously been good to him and his family. And we're grateful.
Got you real good helpers there nothing better than to get them involved
They do pretty dang good!
@@ViceGripGarage start em out young and later in life they ap-preciate the efforts of their hard work
@@gertraba4484 Yeah I have a lot of great memories of my dad working on cars with me in the garage.
Warms my heart ❤️!
This randomly showed up in my recommended, and I’m here for it. Been here for years but never saw this early one!
Funny seeing how much you have changed in 1 year. You sound completely different now lol
No kidding. Dad bod activated.
He's developed an on screen character and nothing wrong with that.
You are an awesome dad.
Thank you appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Found your channel a couple of days ago and now on a mission to find and watch all of your videos. You are a blast to watch. A ton of fun. Extremely knowledgeable and the ultimate smartass a great combination that doesn't take yourself way to seriously, a wonderfully refreshing series. Thank you.
thank you Bill happy you found the channel
Bill elrod. I just found this guy and i been watching all his videos too and love the people that comment and the fact that he spends time with wife and kids as a family hobby. Way to go Derrick. Keep it going. One day i would like to send you a car to work on. It would be donating to your kids to do them selves.
I found VGG as a you tube recommended video since I am a car guy. The first episode I seen was Rocky the 69 Chevelle. 😀
Came back in 2024 to rewatch.
Vicegripgarage now has millions of followers all over the world which is pretty neat.
57 Chevy is one of my favorites
I like how you leave the soul of an old car intact. Sometimes it doesn't have to be perfect. The character and history are what makes em beautiful I think. Good job bud 👌
Thank you, appreciate it
This is what I was attempting to say in my comment, well put...
@@MegaBaker123 thank you .
I envy that kid. He is growing up with great experiences, memories and knowledge
I much prefer the long videos that I watched in the past. I learned a thing a thing or twelve. The humor was a welcome addition to the auto videos I've seen in the past
i love that you get your kids to help you work on your projects. not only will it teach them mechanics, you're bonding as a family. it's something you'll all remember forever. it makes me happy to see stuff like that. i love this channel, man.
I wish more parents would teach their children invaluable skills, simple adda boy to you sir.
Best quote ever: "After about 15 minutes and a sledgehammer, NOW they are."
factromizing - custom fit!
I laughed myself sick when he said that.
I've got my dad's 57 which is in pretty much the exact same state as this one that we haven't had the time to work on since he passed 20 years ago (oh wow... 20 years...). We also have a 57 station wagon with the same salmon pink factory paint my dad bought for parts that we've decided needs to be saved as well. So we bought a third 57 for parts and it's been sitting with the others. So nice to see you working on this.
Great to see where u come from brother and u getting the family involved! That's where I wanna be soon and it gives me ambitions for the big iron garage saving classic rides! God bless!
Wow the channel sure has changed. I like the comedic tone that you use today. More enthusiastic, and way more jokes. These are good too.
I noticed that too. He was a lot skinnier too!
Just watched again for the 5th or 6th time, that engine looks really good, and seeing how far you've come from the 57 to "independence" is great, congratulations Derek you deserve it all, very entertaining AND informative channel, so glad I stumbled on your amazing family, MERICA!!!
Fun to go back and watch then old episodes and see how the channel has evolved. Kids look so young😂. You have definitely gotten more comfortable over the years working in front of a camera. Lifetime follower!
I have to come back to watch this one every once in a while, you've come a long way but this episode has something special.
20$ say someone picked all the front trim off for a 2 door, glad to see someone saving a 4 door!
Quite possibly! Thanks for watching.
A wise man once said....If you're counting doors, you're not a real car guy.
My experience is that a two door is about a 5" longer in width that than the 4 door width. Just gave them more room to climb in the back seat.
I don't remember how i stumbled across your channel, but the way you approach things is just great. Love that you rescued my dream car and breathed life back into it. As we all know, they don't make em like that anymore. Keep up the fantastic work!
thanks you Charles!
This must be great for you. I was going back to the earlier videos you have on your channel and seeing how little your boys are and it reminded me of watching olds videos of my kids. Great memories.
As someone who has no experience with even maintaining let alone fixing or customizing cars but loves everything about this, you are an inspiration. It's always easy to watch some high budgest stuff and be like "wow, they threw a demon engine into a miata" but watching you literally resurrect cars that haven't been running for like two of my lifetimes is the best car mechanic content I could ever ask for.
Thanks, interestingly, I am about the same: esp. now: Downsized TOTALLY,relocated to,HELENA Valley, MT, : and 74 Th Birthday coming soon…….But, learning *& ideas here with VICEGRIP….,!
Love what you do and it’s great to see you involving your kids and passing on your knowledge.
Amazing to see how much your videos have advanced and how much your humor has grown since the beginning great work Derek 💪doing amazing work @ViceGripGarage
This is my favorite car you ever worked on!!
Today we have plastic,fiberglass cars, be proud cuz you just restored a true to its core AUTOMOBILE.NICE!
Thanks Noah, appreciate it
Glad you are keeping it like it is it's a lot more fun that way
Gotta like the factory/sleeper look!
Awesone father and son time
Best time spent! We're picking up a 64 C10 tomorrow.
Cool to go back and watch the beginning episodes.
This is the best site I've seen on youtube for starting old cars rather than replace and install with new parts you dont disturb the old parts and get it running!Hats off to you!
It was really cool to see your boys working with you on this one Derek!! Love Vice Grip Garage!!
Nice wheels and exhaust!! Glad you are teaching the young one!
Thank you! Thank you for watching appreciate the support. Please subscribe and share if you can find the time!
Nice to see you using the old size 12 Tankalotor Remover.
Derek is what makes America great!
Hey man I really dig you are doing this with your boy the positive affects in his life from time spent doing stuff is immeasurable wish my dad was around to do shit like this maybe I wouldn't have turned into a fellon lol
Thanks- tryin my part to keep the culture alive
Same
Ahhhhh a gooder.
Just catching up on all your episodes. Loved this one particularly because you had your sons helping you in the garage. That's pretty near and dear to my heart. Good job, Dad!
Thank you sir! Thanks for watching 👊
you inspire this old north dakota boy Derek. you remind of the old guys out on the farm. Thanks
Great work! Just awesome to see the family working together.
>Luv the green toboggan used fer yer 'cheque~list',
Lol!
"Seeing as there is no engine and transition in it, it's hard to know why this was parked." You are the John Madden of Auto Repair! lol
most unique and skilled mechanic ...fing love vgg .....t.v. show worthy ...give this guy a show..
Your the man! You took your 57' and made her COOL
Feel like we need to start a go fund me page so a guy can get himself a car lift 3000 in that there shop!
😍
Holy piss i like that car!!! A lil dirty but runs better then 75% of the cars on the road this exact min. Thanks 4 this video
Thanks Adam 🤣🔥🤟
A fella knows just about everything on them older cars and trucks. Love the no bs approach
Way to go boys!
"After about 15 minutes and a sledgehammer, now they are. I mean, they fit like factory" Do you stand in for Clint Eastwood in your spare time? Love the vids.
Haha...!!! Thanks for watching Andrew!!
When I was that boys age, I was bitten by the 57 chevy bug. So, 40 years later I can tell you that color is called "Canyon Coral" with a "India Ivory" top. And yes, it was all about bonding with my Dad, and something I do with my 10 year old today!
Good on you, and thanks for the videos!
Thank you sir, great to see other 57 fans out there
My stepdad owned a 57 Chevy Bel Air 4 door when he married my mom. He had 1 son, she had 1 son and 2 girls, they had 1 son. With five of his, mine, and ours combined the much beloved root beer colored 57 Chevy was replaced with a humongous station wagon that had a rear facing back seat that folded down flat, and had a rear gate that you could raise and lower the window. With three row seating, the car was big enough to have its own zipcode, plus faux woodburl paneling to make it look classy. Wouldn't you know it, but that is the vehicle I learned to drive a car in during the mid 70's. It was white, so we called it the great white buffalo. I bought a 69 Impala 2 door coupe with the 396 big block motor, turbo 400 automatic transmission, and a positrac rear end. A pale green with a white vinyl top. What was the official factory name for that root beer colored paint? Or the pale green paint for my Impala? It had some fading of the paint so I am guessing. I loved that car. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Nice work! Very inspirational
Love it! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching- hit up the playlist👌
@@ViceGripGarage the car that you have is a 1957 Chevrolet 210 not a Bel Air you can tell by the trim on the outside of the car.
Correct! No inserts or gold emblems. Learned a little more after this was filmed🤘 This is why I do this, a lot of fun and education!
"-6000º out..." I coulda sworn I saw ice in your liquid refreshment.
hah, yup pritty dang near it
Been binge watching a fella... and a guy can't get enough. Thanks Derek for preserving history like you do. An American appreciates it.
I’d love to see a 457 pick up truck with the 292 flat head and the sides that I had more when I was in high school that my dad bought me and a tour of the rear ended rear end up in it I never got it fixed some of the biggest regrets in my life my dad‘s gone down and I can’t drive anymore I can’t see to drive anymore if you’ve got a whole 57 Ford pick up I love to see you bring it back to life at least hear it appreciate all your videos the humor and your knowledge base of allNo cars and trucks it’s a real pleasure to watch you work and listen to all the dad jokes thanks for all you do your kids are great by the way
It was originally a 6 cylinder. It doesn't have the "v" on the hood or trunk. I learned from my father. I had a 1956 210 4 door. My dad taught me how to repair everything. Carbs are still a mystery. LOL
Carbs can sure be a little tricky! Thanks for watching!
The 6 had the radiator in front of the support since it was longer. We had to move mine to the rear with a couple of straps since it overheated. The original front motor mounts had to be shifted back to the rear holes for a v8. Also, the bell housing was different for a 6 to v8 swap.
Can’t believe you found that in a yard
Toward the end of the video I started seeing the self deprecating humor that your famous for. Nice work on this vehicle. Took it from junk to a gem.
It's great watching the munchkins chipping in... Wow they're young!

-6000 boy I thought living in Canada was cold.
Haha.. 🤣🤘
Turkey Man that’s Fahrenheit so NOT that bad. 😂👌
Dale Nielsen but -6000 Fahrenheit is colder than -6000 C
That is way too cool.. I like that you left it looking rough an rugged looking as you said that's what you love and wanted...
😲😲😲😲I have been watching your present videos for about 6 months and decided to binge watch starting with your first video and can’t believe how different you looked then and how you’ve progressed over the years. I’m mind blown lol You and your family are awesome. Keep on keepin on my friend. God Bless
Got spare instrument clusters if you need .
Love to see the boys involved!
Derek, the Napolean dynamite years. 😊
Been watching this channel for a few yrs now. And it just gets better, and better and yet kinda stays the same somehow.
My uncle Charlie was a carpenter and he had a saying - If it don't fit, make it fit. If it don't go in, beat it in!
The Tanya Harding is the best tool in the box!
Awesome you have the kids involved a bit! I couldn’t get enough of this shit when I was younger!
They enjoy it. Thanks for watching Noah!
good to see the priorities are in order, burn outs and then seats and seat belts
Awesome Neighbor, my dad had a old rusty white and root beer colored 57 Chevy with a pic of me chewing on a greasy wheel bearing as a baby, so lots of good memories came back watching you and your boy work on this. Thanks!!!
Gail & I are regular viewers of Vice Grip Garage. We are sixty I nine years old and like your family friendly descriptions.
You are the best working on old school American made car and truck looks great 👍👍👍👍👍 I give you five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love to see your videos they're great 👍👍👍👍👍
I was the flashlight holder for my dad. Slowly moved up to tool holder etc. I miss those times now
Parenting done right.
Keep mem with ya and you will not regret the friendship farther and sons develop.
Those two little men you have helping you would make you the luckiest man on the internet.
They're what I work my ass off for - hopefully they'll remember all this!
Such a different tone to this one. I love the character he uses to present things, but it's interesting to see what he's like before pressing record
"Whip some shitties"!?! Does a guy kiss his mother with that dirty mouth? I'm not sure who will be more ashamed, Jesus, or freedom eagle.
Going back and watching the oldies. Pretty good for a guy. You've came along way and you've really put the shine on your character. Keep it up man love it. 🤘🇺🇸🦅 Independence here we come.
Watched this for the 8th..nope 20th time, love how Derek and this channel has evolved🤘🇱🇷
Booootiful I will take two ! Way to go getting the kids to help when the car eventually ends up in the scrap heap you will still have the priceless memories of wrenching with your kids and believe me they won't forget it either. My pops and I used to wrench on whatever model Catalina he happened to own and he taught me more in the shade of that weeping willow tree he parked under than I ever learned in school. You are a uncommonly wise and very Blessed person. As my Dad would say ya got lots of Asphalt and blister sense. Keep making videos!
Dude since March 15 2020, when I started watching, you've become my benchpost for time.... in general. I look forward to every Derek...(Friday) I gotta remember I get all my teeth pulled 3 days after VVG..... Monday. Wish me luck.
I love seeing all the progress and positive gain in life through your amazing work in your videos
I came for the same thing it’s been a pretty cool ride. Amazing how popular he’s become. One of the most know name in automotive now. In 3 years. 👍👍👍
🤙
I come back here ever so often to rewatch, it’s just flat awesome to see how far this channel has come in the past year. Sneaking up on 1/2 million subs, that’s cool. All the best.
I like seeing junk come to life. Not every car has to be a show car to be fun. Its awesome seeing your kids working with their hands to make something cool, and not playing on a phone. Keep it up.
Thanks Jesse
Your boy will always remember doing that with you. Good job.
I hope so - thanks for watching
Like a lot of others, I think it's great you teach your children about wrenching on vehicles and that you get the whole family involved.
You're a knowledgeable and funny guy. Love watching VGG. Keep up the great work and a big hello from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
My fave. The most beautiful car ever made. 💯
Damn that budget build engine rocks! Hellyeah man! I just did my first build, 350 bored 040 over, Crane blue racer cam, Speed pro flat top pistons, 193 "vortex heads, Hooker competition headers, edelbrock performer intake, Holley 670 carb, Accel HEI distributor, wires, and plugs. Firing it up this week on the ground, got a 350 turbo trans to go with it, and putting it in an 82 Trans Am I picked up with a blown engine and trans.
You give me so much joy with these videos
Watching 5 year old videos of vgg. You are the man Derick.
Very late for posting this comment, but I laughed when I saw a Feller's welding burns on his ball cap! Been there, dun that too!
Loved watching the younger version of the 2 oldest sons working with the "Old Man"!
I love this car! Congrats on the revival altho she’s gone. Had hoped to see more of her.
It’s amazing how big your children have gotten... These are the kinds of memories they’ll always have.... Working on something with dad...
