I was able to make it to Iola day 2 and see Derek in person. In the video he mentions doing an hour signing, but what you don’t see is him continuing to sign for every single person who waited in that line. His one hour signing was really over two hours. Absolutely incredible. He is just as friendly in person as in the videos.
Great too see you!
VGG is an island of sanity in this crazy world. Thank you Derek and Jessica for all you do!
So well said.
Worth watching just for the live version of the theme tune.
There is no end to this man's talents
I was laughing my ass off when he did that!!
Things go wrong, and you keep your cool, and you do it in front of your fans.
You sir are a class act.
I hope you score that Dynamic 88. That would make a killer episode!
That GMC suicide door truck at the end stole the show in that collection. Man alive can you imagine rolling around in that beast. Great stuff Derek!
Agree
Drop that body on a 24v Cummins chassis.
That’s the revival we all want and need! Heck I’d watch a VGG frame off resto of that rig.
What was it? I love it
Derek, you NEED that GMC!
Seeing Derek with the Dynamagic 88 was like seeing a kid in a candy store. The passion the guy has for cars is on full display at that moment. Such a privilege to see someone so talented and so invested work on a vehicle!
Please tell me that you managed to pick up that Dynamic 88. That thing was a beauty! I couldn't leave without it. The F100, Scout, and GMC were all screaming, "Save me Derek!". Love the show and the honey hole(s) you find. Now, pop open a wobble pop or three and get the snowbird flying again!
Would love to see you back next year with that dynamic 88 doing a classic revival.
Would be awesome 👌
He needs to revive the elcamino!
Wow if that could be done it would be amazing
So please Derrick try and make this happen
I really liked the model cars the young man made of your 1776 car. I bet you spent a lot more time with him than shown in the video. Gives you an idea of how you impact folk and how much they enjoy you and your family. Well done.
The '61 Olds Dynamic was cool. A really rare 2-door post model. I believe it was the last year for either Buick or Olds B-body.
394 is a great engine. Even with just a 2-bbl.
That car so needs to be rescued.
Nothing but respect for Derek. He is so good to his fans I don't know of any other TH-camr that interacts with the fans the way he does. He truly knows the value of his fans because without them what are you. It just seems like he's one of the only ones that hasn't lost his way that still remembers where he came from. I will be supporting his channel until I can't support no more
I love how accessible you make yourself to the fans. Very down to earth, humble and refreshing.
That COE is amazing. I've never seen a crew cab. AND its got the danger doors in the rear? Stupendous.
I started droolin' when he showed us the COE, even tho I don't have any experience restoring or rescuing Old Iron like that. But, a Feller can dream cain't he??
There rare railroad had some
I hate when things just don't go as planned. What else can you do but smile and make it work. Great job! Keep them running!
That yard was heaven!
Would love everything in there!
I always get such a mixed bag of emotions when i see a yard like that. I feel sorry that they ended up discarded, lonely... then I think about all the memories they all must have and the stories that they tell to those of us that would hear. thanks, Derek.
Wow , Flying Sparks helping out !! Aaron a good kid.
What gets me is the old guys who won't let anything go for any reasonable or unreasonable offer, like he is ever gonna get them all fixed up, just letting Mother Earth slowly reclaim them. Its one thing to save them to give to family for inheritance, but give it to them now, before they become useless scrap metal barely good enough to drag across the scales. Its their stuff, but it hurts to watch it return to dust.
On the other hand those cars have probably been sitting in these yards for decades and back when they were junked they were typical run of the mill everyday shite that no cared about. I haunted junkyards in the early 70's and this looks to be just like one of those yards. Filled with everyday vehicles common as grass in the front yard.
Yeh What a Waste of good cars. Now rusty Junk.
that studebaker truck 😭😭😭
One of the main things I didnt like about being a mechanic, was when the customer would sneakily slide out into the shop, and stare at me working on their car. I would all the sudden turn into Mr. Butterfingers, and drop every nut, bolt, and tool I was using. 😂 Then here's Derek, working with hundreds of people staring. Doesn't even phase him. That is confidence folks. Makes for a great technician!
I always tell the customer they can't stand inside the shop because you need steel toed boots to be in here. Then I close the bay door 😂
He has the advantage of video editors!
This time only. Whats your point?
I'm sure he's gotten frustrated, upset, discouraged, and maybe even mad. But regardless of the camera or not. I doubt he made a single fuss about any of it. That's just how he is. For instance. The flywheel not going on. I would have grabbed the biggest Tonya harding and got ro swinging. Derek.. nope. Made every person around him laugh during his frustration. Thank you for all you do. And who you are. So many lives made better from you. Mine included. Thanks Derek Jessica and boys.
I've got a sign in my shop, "$80 an hour labour, $200 an hour if you want to watch" it works well for me, Rj in Oz
Thanks Derek ,for sharing yourself and your family, and being America's country mechanic. So many of us have been through dozens of cars, and walked many a weary mile, and learned from Hanes manuals and bloody knuckles. I usually toss the destructions after a glance, and assemble as I darn well please. Drives the wife crazy. Here's to greasy wrenches and rolling rust.
This is the end of the second episode on this build the floor of that car gave new meaning to the word. Fireblob or waldering through a pigsty. It's about three weeks since the first episode. That's about how long it took to get the dirt off your body. Looks like you wasted half a day at the junkyard. It'll be a miracle if you can get it ready by the end of the next day. So much junk so little time.
Thank You Derek! That walk through the guys collection of old iron got me realizing that between my dad & I we owned have of what I saw there including the Farmals. I'm 76 and still rebuilding cars and motorcycles and... You inspire me.
It's good how you can concentrate on fixing up the Firebird an not be distracted by all the people around an watching what your doing
I used to be that way when I was in the military. But all of the Senior leaders who don't really wrench anymore just liked to watch for ASMR here and there. pretty easy to get used to when your bosses boss is watching lol
Yet some shops are like that were the customer can watch you work. I remember working at a sears auto center at night.with stairs to a waiting area inside the store. Yet some people had nothing better to do than watch. One night a lady needed her battery replaced and said she would be back in about 2hrs because she wanted to go shopping in the mall that we were a part of. So we pulled the car in the opposite side of the stairs so people could not see what were doing as the hood was up blocking us. So me and my buddy pulled over our tool carts and walked from the battery room with the new die-hard. Then we started banging on a muffler on the floor with the hand sledge making a horrible racket. Then grab a distributor cap with wires from the bottom of the tool carts and throw it into the next empty bay. Then we a impact gun and made a bunch of noise and threw out a water pump from under our used parts cannon on rollers. Made a bunch of other noise with stuff. Check the charging system again, shut the hood and drive out. The look at the few who stayed to watch was classic. Sometimes you wish you could unsee things. LoL I met marvelous Marvin Hagler for the second time their and he remembered me from the first. Like most malls in America it is now gone and a thing of the past sadly. Sometimes you have to spin wrenches with some expert engineer who would cross thread a light bulb looking over your shoulder. Lol
Breaks my heart to see those beautiful classics just rotting away! I'd give anything to have 1 to wrench on with my boys, but life comes first😢
Derek imo u brought this years show straight to the top, come on now Iola drew in the biggest crowds in their existence! Much respect thank u for everything Derek n VGG!!
Love to see the absolute passion for old cars and bringing them back to life. Keep up the good work
That 4 door COE would make such a awesome hauler.
Derek totally gives me Red Green Handyman’s Corner vibes.
If she doesnt find you handsome, she might as well find you handy
@@aiyaemotionaldamage5544and remember, keep your stick on the ice!
I love Red Green.Was it carried on TV in the States or are you a Canadian like me eh
@@war7334it was on tv in the states as well.
@@war7334It was in the states as well at least on some networks. (when there was analoge tv)
The dynamic 88 having the old cream soda can, that match the color of the interior was amazing. You were definitely meant to find that car and breath some new life into it 🎉
Derek, you are much more entertaining than your projects are....not that your projects are bad, you are just that entertaining to watch. Your mannerisms are the best. I find myself using them and my wife is like,,"Huh, what was that?" You voice what most of us motor heads have going through our minds as we work......love ya bro, you and your fam!
As soon as you said the flywheel didn't fit and you were hammering on it, I thought "don't drill or hone anything out." Then I thought, "don't draw it in with the bolts." LOL
I can't imagine the pressure of doing all that work with so many people watching. Yet here's our feller, calm as a cucumber, doin his thing. Dip of the toe to you, sir
I fall apart when someone watches me lol
@@TheNilla2020no shit ! Man I can’t put a F’n nut on the end of a bolt with people watching me or hanging over your shoulder trying to see how your doing it 😆
Condos to Derek.I don't like poeple looking over my shoulder either.
Sorry I don't know how to spell coodos.
I've never seen Derek so excited about a car. I thought we where going to get a will it run video right then. Awesome video guys
Revival?
Good luck with this rebuild Derek! In the 'honey hole' walkabout, I thought the 4 door cabover GMC to be a great candidate for a rescue in a future video. Never seen a 4 door model. Very cool!!
Was cool that you took the time to talk to me and my wife and look at my El Camino pictures even as you were done for the day Friday and already on the golf cart ready to get out of there. Glad we got to meet you in person! What a fantastic day there.
The coolest thing is all the people hanging out to watch Derek.... watch what happens next, your a trendsetter, everyone will be doing live builds too. Rock on VGG
Just a great thanks for all Dereks work on these projects and for the entertainment. It helps bring me to feeling a part of the car and truck passion you have in the USA. I’m here in the uk and even with our crazy gas and road tax prices I still manage to run my two V8s. VGG and rock auto for my parts helps me feel closer to you like minded folks. Plus no obscenities so my kids can watch too. Thank you Derek.
I have to admit it made me nervous when he drilled that new flywheel out but he’s the man 🐾✌️🇺🇸
A guy knows he's ok when they make the models for ya and ya signs on em. Derek you are an inspiration to many, many fellas and Fellettes
Cool to see Aaron and Emily in your video.. Glad Aaron is up to wrenching again.
"guess we gonna cross thread it, natures lock-tite" hahahahaha need a T-shirt with that one!
My lord that yard is amazing, so many gems
That 52ish GMC COE would be an awesome body for a ramp truck. If I thought Derick was going to read this I'd implore him to (try to) buy it and transplant it onto his black ramp truck. It would be a ton of work but super cool! As for that 55 Ford Ranch Wagon, that's a vehicle I'd love to build one day.
I second the motion for the GMC cab-over purchase, but I'd like him to try and git 'er runnin', as built or a transplanted Chevy Big Block!!
It is surreally cool!
Dennis Taylor has one he is rebuilding. Should be awesome when he gets through with it.
@michaelhenderson5098 Does he have a YT channel showing that rebuild?
4 door GMC COE would be an awesome car hauler. Curious as to wheel base on this unit. Diesel motor maybe??
Wow. I thought this episode was going to be great, but it exceeded expectations! I watched a majority of the build in Iola, which was awesome enough. That yard you, Emily, and Aaron walked through, was unreal! I want to be sad for those cars, but reality is, they'd probably be crushed by now, if they hadn't been there. Great work Derek, and thank you Jessica for letting Derek come out and play, and holding down the fort!
What pisses me off is when the people won't sell those cars
They just sit and rot into oblivion or get crushed when they die and next of kin sells it off
Bonus mid week VGG, makes a fellas day! Cheers from down under.
Looks like so much fun, glad to see Aaron lending a hand, love the toy store at the end, hope Jessica let you have a check or two.
A Tuesday upload? That heads up penny really helped a guy out
Clicked on the old tube to pass the boredom, found a new video dropped. Love it! Antique junkyard was an amazing time capsule
Collections of cars in the woods like this are just soo cool. It makes we wonder how many vehicles people like that owned in their lifetime to almost forget about that many vehicles. There are some beautiful design classics in amongst that too.
Can’t wait to see the snow bird up and running again too.
Thanks for sharing ❤
My repairs/never ever never go as planned. Sometimes I feel it’s only me but to see Derek in the flesh having issues and working through it gives me confidence to keep at it. Thanks Derek !!!
That late ‘40s early ‘50s 1 1/2 ton needs to be part of this VGG family. Clearly you know this Derek, and thank you in advance
Completely blown away at the field trip ya took us on, its like time just stopped. So amazing. Thank you sir.
Hey Derek, I'm loving what you're doing with the Firebird. I couldn't do what you're doing and having hundreds of people looking over your shoulder while you're working. You're an inspiration for so many and you love the fans. Kudos! You should offer to buy that Old's Dynamic 88 in that private yard and see if a guy can get it running. I love it! God bless.
I live just north of Iola, you will NEVER see everything in three days if you're walking the grounds. If'n you're lucky enough to have a cart (and be allowed to drive it everywhere like Derek) you "may" get a good idea of what's there. Otherwise ... you're gonna be busy to try and see it all.
Thankfully Derek and company has not forgotten what's got him to where he's at. Nobody cares about burn out competitions and lame roundy round races with Crown Vics .... we want this kind of content, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Iola ROCKS, if you have never been there .. put it on your bucket list.
Getting that Pontiac and Emily in the same camera shot was almost more than the heart can take. 🤩
I love that rear ends profile.
It's something about that shape that just puts a smile on my face....
I'm talking about the Firebird.
Get yer mind outta the gutter already 😏
The first gens are definitely boss! I had a 67 350/th350 used to chirp second anywhere over like a third throttle 😂
Question--who is Emily?..She is hot!
Who is Emily
Flying sparks garage.
Keep up the great work Derek! Wish nothing but the best for you and your family! The world needs more families like yours!👍
im a disabled mech 62 yrs old i used to do that very thing when the junk yards in my home town would let me lol i used to fire engines to buy my parts its was the life Derrek and you my friend are still loving it keep up the good work Derrek
I was curious to see if Emily, in her new role as wandering on-the-scene reporter for the Iola Car Show and Swap Meet folks, would show up in your vid as she flitted hither-and-yon gathering action footage in place of the typical scheduled interview thing.
She did, and y'all did. Very cool ^5 !
Sure appreciate that 🥰 It was an epic year 🙌🏼
How many videos till Derek is workin on the coe? It’s a beauty. Derek and family. Thank you for sharing your time with us. You guys are all amazing
VGG on Tuesday umm yes. This channel has gave me the motivation to get my 84 tbird off the hillside and get her going again for first time in about 6 years.
That wiring removal was gold!!!
"Cross-thread is better than no thread" and "Cross-threading, nature's loctite" had me going again.
How many people are losing their minds watching him banging on the flywheel with a hammer 😂😂😂. Love it. That's my style!
Cheers Bro. Must remember to Never buy a car off you either. lol.
I turned flywheels for Cummins for two years, and you didn't breath the wrong way on them or they would not be good. I love the way Derick works and keeps everyone right there with him.
I had to stop and walk away twice during that portion of the video..😰😅🤣
yes I was feeling very uncomfortable when he was hammering and drilling the flywheel. I have never in my life seen such a think??? LOL He will have to replace it after he gets home!!!
@@shomron0 Anybody else cringe when he drug the transmission over the front clip
I damn near spit my cold snack out, it's Tuesday and VGG posted! 😁
Just got home from work & you've got pt2 up, let me grab a frosty beverage I'm in for this, thanks big fella your awesome, Rj in Oz
It's so cool to see how genuinely excited Derek got about that old bubble top
The walk through the stash was great.
That 88 needs to be put back on the road! ❤
Didn't realize you would be in Iola till Saturday afternoon so I got on the bike and caught the tail end. You were very gracious with the crowd! I didn't get to see much but I certainly saw that! Class act!
Thank you sir for coming to Iola !!! It was an honor having you at my home show! Been going since I was a lil feller.
Turn up the base on that Dynamic 88. That's one sweet ride! Great show, catch you on Friday for a Firebird burnout! 😎🏎🏁🏁
Craziest flywheel installation ever! VGG style! Looking forward to the next episode!
That's a '61 Olds Dynamic 88. Dad traded our '53 Olds Super 88 for one of those. It had an autronic eye, (Automatic headlight dimmer) just like the '53 did as well. Also our Dynamic 88 had a ribbon style speedometer. It changed colors (green, yellow, orange then red as your speed got into the 60-70 + MPH Ranges) Also had "speed-minder" you could set an alarm if you exceeded preset. Big boat of a car, but with it's 394, she ran good. Dig that deep dish steering wheel they had too!
Absolute best when Derick does the intro music himself!!! LOVE IT I believe its only the second time!
28:10 is my wife and I! Love the show and it was great meeting you and your family. Glad to hear the engine fire up!! i have forgotten that the ecm could cause a no spark situation so the suspense at the end was very cool and how you figured it out. That is why i feel you make the videos to show younger guys that you just need to diagnose untill you figure it out. Much love from my Family and keep on the AMAZING work you do for yourself and your family.
Derek referring to himself as a "giant sasquatch"---lol. That was funny.
Proper man, heavy pressure situation, lots of audience viewing, fans. Inspirational.
When you went checking out that private yard looked like an episode of Turning Rust/ Restored. Awesome.
Lots of poison ivy, oak and sumac.
That old GMC work truck is awesome! Dunno if the frame is any good, but the style looks so cool, I'd have to figure a way to get it on the road again.
Me and my family started crying with laughter at “cue the music” and you started singing!😂😂 glad you left it in!
That cab over was sweet! Needs a 12 valve swap.
You do all this for us. Such great content and I can watch it with my boys with no worries.
Perfectly said brother! I watch his channel with my kids all the time, no worries! Love it, no cussing, family friendly, and not to mention Derek is one of the most genuinely funny TH-camrs out there! My 3 yr old son LOVES cars to say the least, and he will watch VGG with his old man all night lol 😂
Holy crap Derek you hit the honey hole buddy beautiful vechicals
Ya know this fella is just hard core to the bone working on the ground for ower entertainment. Thank you Derek.
Love that COE in the woods. That would be such a cool rig to build.
Perfect timing! Can't wait to see this one. Thanks Derek and family.
I LOVE a good car graveyard adventure!
What a treat
The most enjoyable part of your presentation is your embracing what’s right in front of you. This different venue may have been a mystery, but you’re riding that horse and taking us along is so much fun. Thanks!
The stories those vehicles in that collection could tell… so many cool cars. Love it!
Oh my word, well that makes a fellette’s day! Thanks for this journey and your time with us!
I think its cool that everyone can spectate how you build you're car and see how a master does it
Wow, my heart goes out to you.... the pressure of delivering under insanely stupid conditions has got to be enough to make you wanna crack. Holy moly, great job keeping it together!
When I saw you "wollerin' out" the holes on that flywheel by hand... my soul left my body. Jesus take the wheel
Blessings to you and your Derek. Love your content. My wife is in the background listening and said that she loved that you are doing a live engine and transmission r&r. I second.
I love the cinematography! It’s great it is what this channel deserves!
I thought that was a television worthy commercial. You’re a natural ! Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅
That was fantastic. Having issues just like everyone else. Loved the junkyard.
Yes, part 2. Hope your trip home is safe. Man, you were thrashing to put her together!
Aww Derek. I felt really sorry as you were struggling with the flywheel. Yes, still in the middle of the video. Hope it turns out well, I'll go see in a moment!
I can’t hardly type with someone watching me. You don’t skip a beat with a crowd watching. Amazing Derek.
Oh my Brother Derek, I've been there done all that with my 11/1966 camaro I picked up at the secondary inspection auction in the mid 80's
Awesome video Derek! As always thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!!!
