    It’s nice to see a fella working in his own shop, with his family close by. Don’t be afraid to do more of this Derek! Traveling all the time can really stress a fella out.

    My dad had a 1971 Dodge pickup. You reminded me of a funny story. My daughter's cat had a litter of kittens. They were playing in the cab. One of them crawled into the drain at the back of the seat. The poor little thing's tail was the only thing sticking out. We pulled on it's tail but it only popped like when you pull your finger. So I poured vegetable oil down the hole so it would be slippery and the kitten would slide right on out. Didn't work! We were desparate and drove to the local volunteer fire department where they were holding a turkey shoot. A nice young man tried to help us. We pulled the truck into the bay and he crawled up under the door. There is a flange that's spot welded under there. So he got a tool that could fit between the pieces of metal to pry it apart. When he got it spread, the little kitten flew out like a shot cat and went into the meeting room/kitchen. It looked like a punk rock, spiky-haired kitten from the vegetable oil. It took nearly 30 minutes to catch the little creature but we prevailed and took him home. I gave the guy a $10 tip for his help. That was a lot considering this was in the 1980's. What a wonderful memory. That is what watching your videos reminds me of. Thanks Derek.

      I’ve got a 63 dart and though the slant six had major overheating issues it never let me down. Had a few hiccups on account of not being able to find a parts store that stocked the proper carb kit and sometimes the 60 year old wiring just decided to take naps, but they’re great little engines. Everybody asks me if I’m putting a small block in it when it goes back together but having daily driven that slant with better fuel economy than any fuel injected car I’ve owned, I just can’t bring myself to do away with it. Once drive it six hours at 300+ degrees and it never once even hiccuped. I stopped using coolant in it on account of the constant overheating issues, and it froze on me one frosty October day. Got so hot that I pulled into work with rods knocking and some terrible banging and clanging. Let it cool down, and it started right up and drove onto the trailer the next day. A few weeks later it ran just as good to drive off the trailer. Can’t imagine getting rid of such a tough platform for anything else. As it turned out rust had clogged the coolant journals going into the head, despite my attempts at getting rid of the rust. Long live the I6

    I had 5 slant 6 vehicles, mostly in my first 2 decades of driving. They are literally indestructible. Driving my 64 Dodge Dart through the Mojave Desert once and this loud horn sound emanated from the engine compartment. Popped the hood and steam was coming out of the overflow so strong that it was shooting out several feet. Naturally it was well over 100 degrees out and I had to just sit and wait with no shade. There was a canal visible in the desert that looked close but probably wasn’t. While contemplating a death defying walk a VW bus pulled up full of hippie types, who were more than happy to supply me with water and an escort to the nearest town. After changing out the bad water pump and filling up I was back on my way to Phoenix none the worse for the experience and the Dart running like nothing had happened. I eventually got sick of Phoenix and drove the Dart back to my parents house in RI, still running perfectly.

    Having detailing vehicles professionally for over 30 years I'm with you Derek, I like a clean tire without any dressing. Tires aren't supposed to shine IMO. You can use the steel wool with a little paste wax to really make that chrome bumper shine. The truck really cleaned up nice and it's amazing how much a nice set of wheels does for a vehicle.

    Thank you for saving this old girl from the crusher!!! My grandfather who served 5 years in the Air Force had one of these trucks new but he sold it just a few months after for a fully loaded 1987 GMC K20 with the 454 because they got a small camper to travel around Michigan where we live and that little dodge could barely move it even with 3:73 gears.
    I think the tire shine depends on the car in my opinion. Some cars look good with it very glossy and some look better when the tire is matte. I personally like the middle. Not too glossy and not too matte, like a tire that has been well cared for.

Like they need a tire dunk tank (for finding leaks, never works) full of Vaseline.. I swear that's what some people do. What I like is exactly what you just did Derek, a quick spray and most importantly wipe em dry! I've been using permashine alot recently.. it dries DRY almost like a clear coat. Not gunky feeling or wet looking. Just dark and clean
