Part 5 of 5: In this video, I fix on the brakes, to make those a little more gooder. Resolve the rear end track bar bushings, and put the fuel system back to the original NASCAR spec. Then, of course, a proper test.

I am totally convinced that Derek is a genius. Its not just his extensive knowledge of all that is automobile , but his wordplay and overall character. Anyobe else feel the same? Hes a really nice person too.
“Deeper than a Texas oil well”
"bigger the J-Lo's assets"
Derek is an accomplished problem solver with a mountain of knowledge combined with the ability to say, "I don't know," but then figure it out. One way or another. And, usually by doing the Right Thing. And, that's usually how I define genius without needing to know an IQ score :)
@@RobColbert -He’s a car wisperer or “a beautiful mind” of auto repair.
A guy I would genuinely enjoy having a wobble pop or two with! Good people!
2020 is nearly over ... a guy really appreciates the effort Derek and the VGG. Family have worked at to lead us through this year 😎👍
Amen brother
Seriously ☝🏻
Well Said. I found VGG in July ‘20 & have gone All IN on this channel. I binged a dozen or more episodes during the week of ourIndependence Day US holiday & love to see all of the Well-Deserved Support that the Bieri Family has received...What a Great Community they’ve Assembled.
Amen brother! Derek's video's have given me a chuckle numerous times. Great work Derek! :)
Great comment. Found this channel in April of this year when shit was getting real and it's been a bright spot.
When you were driving at the end, you can really see why you do what you do. Keep the videos coming, you're a hell of a guy. Best car channel on TH-cam.
Enjoy the vids immensely; Hiatt mechanic tip 1,246 - When bleeding brakes by yourself, flip a bottle of brake fluid upside down in the master reservoir, that way, it will automatically fill, as you bleed.
That's exactly what I was thinking too when he was bleedin on the ol brakes.
Phillip,
I’ll probably have a forehead slapping “why didn’t I think of that”, but could you explain that trick a bit more? Sounds handier than a pocket on a shirt!
VGG has quickly become my favorite car related channel on youtube. Can't be beaten
Thank you
Same here
Same. Where the hell have I been!?
I don't see him using vice grips very often. He uses a leatherman for his plier needs. So I think he should call it //SAG for sawzall garage because he does use a sawzall! Just a thought:)
Same here. Cannot stop. Must get an oldie soon.
Derek started makin' the ultra-sonic cleaner noise, and I just lost it!
Derek, you are such a treasure! Where else can a guy gain a tremendous amount of knowledge about all kinds of car stuff while at the same time bust a gut laughing. You are practically the only wholesome and all-around great guy that I spend my precious free time with.
Much appreciated 👊
35+ years ago I was 14 yrs old, helped dad put new front fenders on the old suburban.. got them lined up & gapped 100% ready for paint .. in a fit of dad wisdom, (trusting me more than he probably should have), he told to back it out of the shop. Well ... lookin out the back i forgot where the front was, dialed the wheel once I saw daylight and crunched one fender into the overhead door frame. Dad was pretty good about it ... but man did I feel bad .. I knew he'd saved to buy those instead of patching the old ones. There was a lesson there about knowing when not to start yelling that I learned later when I looked back at that day.
Dead duct tape? Throw it in the nuclear microwave box for half a minute .. like new again.
Great series, thanks for sharing!
I lived in the US for 2 years 20 years ago. Derek makes me miss it even more...this guy is a good American. Best Regards from Germany
Sure enough. Gruß aus Stuttgart.
That kind of looks like the basic framing for guys old 1949 Alice Chalmers tractor hitch assembly... The back end would bolt to the piece of angle iron under the varnish reservoir... And then you would have a hoop that would wrap around the smaller bit that moves forward and backward. It wouldn't need to stay stationary forward and backward only up and down as the part of the hitch would just wrap around that and it would just keep it at the right height which would also explain why the piece of angle iron is bent in the center if a fella was trying to pull something too hard and heavy with it... I'll message you a picture on IG
Feel free to come back!
@@TheVirginianRambler I´m working on it.Thank you.
@@davidhintz1 My wife's mother is from/lives in Stuttgart. She's coming to visit us here in the states next week, for a month. I'm excited! She always brings german chocolate and schnapps (wobble pops). Lol
Thank you Derek for bringing Joy and laughter to the world in these trying times it's greatly appreciated best Channel on TH-cam by far
Thank you
Couldn't agree more, with your comment.. Salute, 🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Abso-friggin-lutely...my day got a whole lot better when I saw Derek had posted a new video :)
September 2019 I was in bad shape and all I could do was sit on the couch between hospital visits and that's when I found VGG. I watched every clip and Derek's humor helped me hang in there for a few days.
Wasn't a very good day for me 💙 watched this cheered a guy right up for me it showed time and patience things can work out
She’s a real beauty- I hope that ole girl gets a new home that loves her as much as you do! Sweeeet Buick torque!
That car is gorgeous! I love that you rescue and revive these great vehicles from the past for others to enjoy. Thanks for making these series and your sense of humor!
This channel was a real entertainment during this heavy and sad year. Long life to vgg...long life to Derek
Hell yeah, vgg made my quarantine much more bareable
@@danhoyland142
Indeed Sir, and much more!!! Thanx Derek and Fam..Nice work... Your show is like when I was a kid and watched the old series called the Walton‘s that always ended with Good Night John Boy! Good night Mary Ellen etc ... Just made me feel good knowing the world isn’t completely jacked up....
Classic VGG Moment: "Replaced the really cracked windshield with one that only had a crack in front of the driver..." 👍
😅😅
That got me, smooth move👍 but it just seemed so right, a guy can't argue with that
@@ViceGripGarage I was expecting you to try out some of that windscreen crack filler, but you saved a few $$s ;-)
Was it cracked when you first got it? Remember it was rolling around in the trunk on that long drive home.
@@kriscarver-seaboyer9204 Yeah ,jus asking as well .
Old Buicks are just beautiful machines! You found a gem there Derek.
Used to have a 1965 2 dr. Wildcat in white. Every time I see your videos, memories wash in!
I don’t know Derick there’s just something about this one I think she’s a keeper.
A real going to town rig!
Yeah I agree. I thought he was gonna keep this one for some reason. But I know how he feels. If you love horses you kinda wanna keep em all. Eventually you realize it doesn’t pay to get emotionally attached. That’s how you end up broke but with a really cool collection of fancy junk.
A fella will never hear a more Minnesotan statement than: "We gotta get crackin'... we got Bingo at 4:00!" Thanks for bringing me back to my youth!!
I think the thing I like most about this channel is how you enjoy the simple things, Derek. It don't have to be the fanciest car, it doesn't need to have the most horsepower, it just needs to be good enough to be safe to drive. I've enjoyed this series and am going to miss the 'ol Buick. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you sir
I was never a fan of Buick’s until I started watching this channel a month ago
A guy appreciates the wit, the humor, and the knowledge that is shared with the rest of us armatures without even making it look hard (which we all know it is). Much appreciate the content, skill, video graphing, editing, and percolating in those nifty musicalicious tracks. Well done, sir!
thank you sir!
I can't think of a better way to end the work week than watching a video about an old Buick. Thanks Derek.
thanks for watching
I’m Rewatching all your videos while recovering from surgery. You’ve really helped me get through all this down time. I think this is definitely my favorite revival! I found your budget 350 video a couple years ago and have been a fan since. Thank you.
I love the roads in western WI - I used to cruise them for hours when I lived in Stillwater and Hudson.
Yes, it's not all ruined by subdivisions yet. "New homes in the mid-500s" gag.
Derek, The small bracket was used as a bumper support (to keep center from getting bent)/ make shift hitch usually for a small tiny trailer. The longer bracket was used as a gas tank puncture protector. The car was probably owned by fella who worked at a large plant. My grandpa had one on his Coronet, It was easier to back into your parking space rather than pull in so when you went home you could get on your way easier. They also made good tow points for removing small trees and shrubs.
just imaging one of those redneck tree stump truck removal videos but instead of some guy in a rusty '03 silverado its just a dodge coronot superbee. thanks for this, this made my day lol
This thing's absolutely glorious. The footage at the end was amazing.
Thank you
Sweet soundtrack too🤘
I fell in love with the old gal myself. They really do not make them like this anymore. What a shame.
@@bluekoi455 That song's called: Back To Black by Rockin For Decades
Wonderful video and I agree that shot at the end was perfection.
Love me some Buick!! There is nothing like driving around the country roads just listening to what the car is singing. no radio needed!
I’m glad I’m not the only one that pats the dash after being rough on my rig
A guy just wants you to know how much we appreciate your content! Thanks for one of the best automotive channels on the interwebs !
Thank you
My bonehead mistake: a guy forgot to replace the cotter pin after replacing the front wheel bearings. Ended up singing 🎼 you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel🎼
I am busting my GUTS!!! I knew Loose-wheel way back when. She was loose, too!
@@riwoof 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL.
That’s a good one Robert, made me laugh.
PRICELESS!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That bit about the diaphragm and seal on the fuel pump sending gas straight into the oil was outstanding! Have not seen or heard of that ever, but it makes total sense. I’ve seen maybe half dozen of these videos and I am just more and more impressed. Every now and then he forgets the act and we see a really sharp well spoken guy with just a ton of experience. So fun and educational to watch.
Yup those old Buicks are sumthin' special. My 1st car was a '61 LeSabre, red with a white convertible top, Red and white interior. I bought it around '70. I don't remember what engine it had but it ran pretty good. Sold it to a friend and a few years later he sold it to a farmer in PA who cut it off behind the doors, bolted some wood to the frame and used it on his farm to haul hay. For all I know it's still runnin'. Great stuff you do saving these old classics. Thanks, Dereck.
A fella can only sit and imagine how cool someone’s dad was feelin back in 63 rollin in that there high performance machine
Yep! Had a good friend’s Dad get one when we where just getting driving age, 16, living in Manhattan Beach Ca, we put surf boards on top and sort of ah scratched her up a bit**, was sorry then and now I wish I could go back and really tell him how truly sorry I am now. I have learned nice things are earned and deserved by those who put the time in.
* Classic 1960’s Surf Safari all the way to Huntington Beach. We didn’t have proper roof racks back in the day so you just put some towels down and strapped the boards (4) on with what ever you could find. Well going down the towels where fresh fight off the old back yard clothesline, but coming home they had beach sand in them, hence the scratched roof, some sad shit my friend.
With a 2 barrel carb? Mediocre Performance Luxury Machine.
@@terrymcconnell6045 tsk tsk. Manhattan Beach in the the early 60s musta been Paradise, huh? Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Jan & Dean, the Ventures, Annette Funnicello...
I love the smoke rolling inside the car after the burn out
I used to own a 64 Buick Wildcat and this old girl reminded me of it so much ! I really enjoyed this series.
This is one of my favorite rescues/revivals. Nice work, Derek!
Damn, the LeSabre is a thing of beauty. Made a guy smile from ear to ear just watching you cruising it around.
glad you like it
Sounds like a little NASCAR when you feed her some onions. Sweet
Nascar sweet onions
Same car we drove to California back in 68......My dad bought it new in 63 up here in northern Minnesota. Drove it until 76 when he bought a new Buick Le Sabre. Thanks for the memories.
I have this car, I bought it in 1993, and I still have it. Baby blue with a white top. Had the entire car painted in 2006. She drives awesome and turns heads every time I take it out. Loved you video of this 63 Le Sabre, reminds me of all the same parts I've rebuilt on her over the years!!
A rig like that deserves a fresh exhaust and a permanent place in a feller’s garage
Just when a guy thinks there is nothin to do ......and VGG has a fresh video out...well I'll be dipped
Thanks for watching
@Vice grip garage No ty for uploading
@@ViceGripGarage thanks Derek, I learned to drive,and got a driver's license in a ride like her.
Derek, my grandfather, Mel, loved Buicks; he had a ‘51, a ‘61 LeSabre, a ‘66 Electra (he and Myrtle took that to Vegas numerous times, and he said that when they were out west he never went below 90 mph ) and a ‘75 Electra 2-door 225, what a behemoth. (The four-door ‘75 is the longest Buick ever built). He later bought an ‘85 Electra or something like that, but what a piece of junk, by that time GM was dropping Olds engines into them-the salesperson never told him and he about flipped when he found out. Was so angry. Anyway, your videos of your ‘63 brought so many good memories of my grandpa and his cars, he lived for driving, and especially driving them fast. Thank you.
Watching Derek test on the Buick brought joy to my heart.
This was a great series! I like the Buick’s too since you don’t see many around. I’m gonna miss this old girl.
Bingo And Buicks, a guys living the American dream!
Oh yeah!! The sound of all that go-go stuff whirly-banging away at the end took me to another - very happy - place. I'm late catching this 5 parter but boy was it worth it. Derek, you are a true star sir.
100% convinced Derek bieri, is a geniius and has a personality gift of gab no one cones,close..why he is,so we'll liked and successful....thanks,Derek for the entertainment.
I lost it when a fella put the pump in the 'ultrasonic' cleaner! :)))
It got dipped.
I like it when things are a lot less broken than it started out with.
That's typically a pretty solid goal line I'd say.
I enjoy you and your rural sensibilities.
That music while you were panning over the car
Was perfect. Making me love our old american
Steel.
Thats a car you paint and keep. What a machine.
I don’t think I have ever seen a better impression of a electrician, I mean dead on!😂
😅🤣
That one needed saving and you were just the right guy for it! Great job
Just want to say thank you, Derek. You inspired me to go ahead and don't give up on my 89 golf, was about to sell it because it was parked for a while. Turned out nobody wanted and it was going to scrap. Thanks to you I dug deeper and found out the issue: my friend put diesel in it instead of gas... Europeans do love diesel... Not fuel make it happeners though...
The smile on your face during the drive says it all!!!
You are a natural to the area you were driving in. The car the countryside and you perfect together. Reminded me of that Chevy Chase movie with the crazy mailman.
Funny farm??? Awesome movie 😁
"Negative juicage" 🤣. That's what happens when my prostate acts up.
Ugh! I yearn for those days before we met.....
Flo-max, sir.
LOL...I am 70 and I do understand that.
@@arisaka9963 I do take Flomax, lol. You know what's weird about Flomax? It's the same main ingredient as Rogaine. When my dad started using it 20+ years ago, his hair grew back! Mine did NOT! 😕😑
Nice job! I,m glad you save these old cars!
That is one thing difference between a regular mechanic in a shop and change something and a guy he can feel what the car needs to be a live again some you Derek 💗🚗
The end of this video was incredible. What a great close to this project.
Thank you
@@ViceGripGarage hey. Yes. A perfect ending! I had to let you know! Amazing! I remember smoking them tires repeatedly for people n my dad says. Hey your tire is flat. I told him no it's not. He looked, it was just bald! So I had to go to Sam's get a tire..... the guy working there said I didnt smoke my tires.... he said it too heavy... so i showed him. N he was like hey man I gotta scrape that off, hehe I guess a 61 electra probably weighs more than a lesabre.... could be wrong but so what hehe my bad. Awesome video. Dang song like acdc.... please have good luck! Just a great surprise!
So sad. We're gonna miss her. At least we got One Last Ride. May she live long and prosper.
🖖🏻
Seems logical...
I have to say thank you Dereck. I just watched all 5 parts. Awesome awesome awesome!!! You really brought that car right around and made it something that can be driven safely and enjoyed again for someone. If it weren’t for guys like you, that thing would’ve just sat and rotted and eventually wound up in the car crusher. Absolutely amazing. When I started with part one, I thought to myself, as I often do, “why is he even bothering”? By the end of part five, I was thinking “man, I feel like emailing him and asking him how much he wants for it”!!! Can’t wait to grab a few cold snacks and watch some more of your videos… like RIGHT NOW!!! lol.
Nice rig, the smile on your face when you were feedin it the beans says you’ll truly miss this one!
VGG is what keeps my sanity intact....more or less, maybe........I don't know!
Hey Derek at 24:07 we can just see the grin starting ... we could tell a guy was really enjoyin' the ride. Perfect ending. Great vid, great car. Thanks for all the awesome content.
I just finished this series. Seeing your joy as you opened 'er up on the backroads gave me goosebumps. I have the same car and MAN do I love him. I just got mine running a couple weeks ago. Thank you for resurrecting that beauty and making this series.
Love watching a old cars n trucks coming back to life n given a nother chance to be..
" .. a pneumatic caveman" ... ha ha, that nearly made me cough up breakfast cereal here in Czech Republic ha ha. GOLD
This was a winner Derek. The cap and tire choice were perfect.
Original hubcaps look good. But car came with thin whitewalls. That would really look great .
What a great day! Working on an old classic. then out for a wonderful drive enjoying the car the great country side. Just doesn’t get better than that for a guy.
I FORGOT HOW BUICK WAS FORGOTTEN IN THE 60S WELL DONE ,HOW MANY GREAT OLD BUICKS IVE OVER LOOKED AGAIN WELL DONE.
“We replaced the broken windshield with a different broken one”. Translation: “we broke the new windshield putting it in, but it’s still not as bad as the old one so we said screw it.” 😂
Awesome! I’m happy to see these vechicles get repaired and on the road!
A perfect car to get ya to cruise night event!
Great project car for a fella
The Chrome on this car came out perfect for it's age. Loved replacing a broken windshield with a less broken windshield.
Less broken means almost good enough.
I didn’t quite get that either, going through all that work to put in another cracked one,
Just binged all 5 parts of this Buick, amazing stuff👌🏻🇬🇧
15:43 i'm an electrician and i laughed really hard at this. Very accurate. God bless you Derick
"why souldn't you, ya ya, of course" lol. I even struggle to think of alternatives,
@@prgnify Because the 'correct' way is to use the old wire to help guide a fish then attach the new wire to the fish and pull it back through. However, this takes time and a few working words when the fish gets caught on something and you end up feeding it in and out and in and out. Where if you just use the old wire as a fish it works 95% of the time. And the 5% when an old splice fails it becomes the apprentice's problem.
@@Cragified as an apprentice I can vouch for this statement 100%.
@@Cragified time and a ton of patience. I have done this technique a couple dozen times in vehicles and it can get very tedious.
Smoke in the back seat is just proof a guy is pulling some fun! Great video brother!
thanks dude
Lived in upper western Maine for almost 10 years. No such thing as a frame existing on anything past 2005. Sad some nice old stuff becoming one with the earth again because of that calcium chloride. The Mice are the second scourge of any affixed dinosaur eater to the granite in the high lands. Great peaceful content. Calmest rejuvenation executive I've ever seen.
Got a kick outta when you were showing us how you remembered the fuel pump worked . Looked like you were trying to type and ask google " Hows a guy shut this old girl down , like right now ? " with your fingers .. Ive watched and giggled over that a few times ...good stuff keep em coming !
Best Friday ever, thank you for another VGG video!!!!!
👊
Gotta love a man and his land yacht! Thanks Derek. :)
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the walk down 64 Buick Wildcat memory lane for me! First car in high school 75-79' .
1980 Dodge Power Wagon (318) some how had 10 gallons of diesel put in tank. Used engine driven pump to clear tank and a Boat tank (on roof) and syphon hose to run engine.
I about died laughing at your "ultrasonic parts cleaner" 🤣🤣 keep up the great work Derek!
Thanks buddy
She ain't a house broke Cat, She's a Wildcat!
I Love the nervous finger waggle at 14:00
A guy just really gets a kick out of watching these videos. Over the last 4 days I have been sick and I've watched nearly every chevy episode available. Thanks pal. Cheers to you and Tonya Harding
CAR SOUNDS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN "BULLITT" AND "VANISHING POINT"
YOU HAVE A VANISHING BULLITT!
the windshield part was so hilarious. absolutely love this channel.
This was a great series. The first car I remember my dad bringing home new was a 1963 Buick LaSabre with the wildcat engine. He traded in a 1958 Buick Special. I always say i know enough about a lot of things to get myself into trouble. Watching your videos have given me the confidence to give a good try at resurrecting a 1972 Ford F250 I have in the yard.
ty for all the wonderful entertainment
This was my most favorite of revivals! She is a beauty and I’d have a hard time giving her up to. I just hope the next owner gives her the love and respect she deserves! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lmao..."we gotta hurry i got bingo at 4!" That was good
The glory days off bingo are sadly gone. 15 years ago you'd spend a week coughing out tar from the second hand smoke the Minnesota grannies were spewing from their camel non filters. They'd spend all night yelling at each other over the latest trends in hot dishes while jabbing orange bingo daubers, double handed, onto eight cards at a time. Good times.
Lol ive never been but iv herd alot of stories ..ol ladies getting into fights and when some ladies would lose theyd throw them dobbers across the room..down here in kansas they had big bingos at the casinos down here the casinios are huge...so you can imagine whem theu had casino days...ol ladies for miles
Love it! Got a 63 Electra 225 in about the same shape I’d like to get back in the road. This motivates me more than ever! Thanks Derek
Any updates? Nice ride BTW.
Always wanted a Lê Sabre Wildcat and Galaxy500; this video set just gave me everything I needed for my future projects. Now to finish my 68 GMC C1500 LB. Thanks Derek/VGG.
I do the same in my truck; just drive it for hours, with no destination; even in the Arizona summers with no AC; just the windows down, Heavy Metal tunes, and cold water in my ice chest.
I enjoyed watching this from start to finish. Derek, thank you.
I was trying to get the steering wheel off my car, I put the puller on and gave it a crack with the Tonya Harding, it shattered the steering box case instead.
Using a tonya harding was a little overkill dont you think? Get a ball! ping! Hammer.
Well I'll be dipped......
Whatcha do? Giver all the onions??
Hahaha.
Help me understand!!!
I like this five episodes from an abandoned vehicle to a very beautiful machine. Start to finish. I wish we could have seen how it sold and what it sold for I am sure it was well with your time
Buicks are great cars! I had a 1980 Regal 2 door and I loved it, it ran fantastic and drove beautifully
