Hey Derek, I wanted to tell you that while I was deployed this year and missing my home and family, watching your videos gave me a laugh and had me feeling better. I really appreciate all that you do and how hard you work to bring us content. It means more to I’m sure a lot of folks than a guy could ever imagine.
He kept me going when I was over there as well.
Thank you for your service Feller
Thanks for your service bud.
Thank you for your service. I appreciate my freedom that y’all provide me. 🍻🇺🇸🤙🏻
We love our patriots! All the best to you and the ones around you!
I’m 63 years old and had pretty much given up on my two chevelle projects and watching your channel gives me a little kick-in the butt to get back in my garage and off the couch, so thank you very much for great content and you are probably the hardest working person on TH-cam and you are great dad too.
Hey JB, great to hear your back in the shop and what a great car too. I'm 65 and finally back doing my 64 Corvair Track Car build.....and about two others too, lol. I hated working alone but have dug down and try to do an hour a day to even five now.
Best wishes on that 454.
South Carolina
I'm 63, crippled as Joe Rogan's goat, ditto, sucks to work on these projects alone, but trying to hire help is like herding lot lizards, (sorry ma) so yeah, off the couch plugged in the battery charger turned on the tunes, back to watching Derik
What Chevelle's do u have can u tell more ?
I'm 64, and finishing up my V8 powered 1984 Chevy S-10 project. I was a mechanic for 37 years, for a city government fleet services department, and had to retire at 62 to avoid getting poisoned. I've been building cars my entire life, all American except for a couple of air cooled VW bugs. I was an amateur drag racer for about 40 years, had to give that up when the local drag strip that had been here for 50 years shut down. I still have 2 hot rods I built years ago, a 1972 Pinto woodgrain wagon with a 289 conversion, and a 1964 Fairlane Thunderbolt replica with a 390. The S-10 will be my last full blown project.
VGG is one of my favorite car channels, I especially like these old car rescue videos. There are a lot of imitators out there now, but Derek is still by far the best, and his subscriber numbers show it.
Hang in there I'm 79 and still in the shop just finished a 56 ford pu for a guy and found an old cj2 that is a rust bucket and can't stop thinking how much fun it will be. Your project won't work if you don't. (Don't know where I herd that.) Keep moving even if it hertz and you will keep moving hot rods are the best therapee. Have fun with the rest of your life my friends Paul
I really love the positive attitude! Even if things don't work out perfectly in the end, it's the journey that counts. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Hi Derek, I love watching your videos . Way back in 1957 I installed a Chevy 283 in my friends 1950 two door sedan, same one you have there. An article came out in Hot Rod Magazine, where a fellow in California installed one in a 1954 sedan. They are a torque tube car, and I used my three speed pickup truck transmission in it, so it would bolt right up to the torque tube. It wasn't a very hard job to do, just a little time, I was an auto mechanic at that phase of my life. My buddy was in the house watching TV most of the time, while I was doing the work. It turned out very well and looked like it was factory installed. It started out stock, but with-in a year, he had a McCulloch Super charger on it. It would pin you to the seat, just like a Jet Airliner used to do. We had much fun with it, as it still had the Power Glide emblem on the trunk ! My buddy died a few years back, and never paid me for my transmission ! I'm 86 now, and get a kick out of some of the old memories of the fifties .I live in North East of Cleveland , Ohio! Keep up the good work my man, and stay safe .
Thank you for such a lovely story sir.
What’s with a guy who doesn’t pay for his three speed? At least offer a trade!
You know you would think by now you would have a list of things you should either buy or just take with you .
Synchronizers definitely not working lol in my opinion
Someone give an opinion. If I was to restore those old rigs, and was getting around to paint/body I'd leave the old dents but correct the paint.
Something about the dents in those old cars. They tell stories. To me they add character.
Derek, a junkyard revival would be awesome. Make it a 2 part series. Would love it!
That would be awesome. Good idea.
Powered by a Franken-Motor. Get it running using whatever might be around since alot of junkyard cars sometimes tend to be missing a thing or three...
Have no shortage of interesting...
Great idea
YESSSS I would watch every minute of that
A feller would really like that!
Friday night and a 2 hour revival?! What a treat. Thanks again for the fantastic content
💯 agree. Wow, what a great surprise!
Amen brother
I couldn't agree more.... perfect Friday treat.
Glad you enjoyed it
rarely does this feller not enjoy one of your video's, regardless of length. The only wish is if you the creator could dial in relevant ads....I know I'm a dreamer. @@ViceGripGarage
"Rapid, unscheduled disassembly, happening in the transmission." 😂
My new favorite line.
Even tho you didn't make the entire trip back, quite possibly my favorite episode yet.
Out of the many I love.
A very successful failure.
Love what you do sir, and please keep it going.
Now I have to go buy some vgg merch.
I wanna see Derek drive a car 20 miles after 1400 years.
underrated comment
That would be one old horse
Yabba dabba dooo. The flintstone mobile.
As a teen(75 now) used to ride my bike to local junkyard and just walked in. No one cared, no thought of potential liability issues. I would randomly pick out a car, worked on it until it started and moved. Only a few inches but moved. Enough time left to get home and cleaned up for dinner. That was our entertainment back then.
Not too far from your age and similar experience except in my case my dad and I restored cars and once a month we would go to a local junkyard for parts. He would have a list of parts and a cooler full of drinks and sandwiches. I would put on gloves and then climb on top of the automobiles and look around for cars with the parts we needed, leaping from car to car until I found one and then I would yell out and he would come with the tools. It generally took all day and at the end of the day I would be tired, sore, and happy.
@lancecorporal9894 it's times like this that I think I was born too late in life. Lol
@@lancecorporal9894 Spent 8 years in the Navy after HS. Up till then, life was good. The freedom we had back then would not work today. Walking out of school to go to Gma's house for lunch. Didn't have locks on house doors. Actually, the locks were there, no keys. No internet, no game systems. Trips to junkyard, playing with neighborhood kids or going anywhere, everywhere, on my bike. Cap guns!!!! Had a few. We entertained ourselves, no fear. Not a lot of money, didn't need it. Once again, life was good.
Derek and Jessica both sacrifice alot to keep the good content coming our way thank you both for all that happens on and off the camera
Ok you are right 👍
@@sg-yq8pm Exactly, there is too much odd virtue signalling going on in TH-cam comments.
Thank you for your service. Been there, done that, grateful that y'all are doing it.
@@sg-yq8pmBut they do sacrifice more than your average worker. You only get to see what didn’t make the cut, the behind the scenes for this channel is insane and the amount of headache heartbreak and hard work required is astronomical.
@@owenrich6235 I'm glad people agree with me on it
I realize a lot of time has passed since you made this so I might be talking to my hand but Derek I truly respect how good you are at putting on these videos. They are not only educational with sage and practical advice they are always entertaining and a great trip to go on with you. You’re my #1 videographer and just wanted to say Thanks - I hope you keep it up for years to come. Blessings to you and your family.
Thanks Derek, my first car was a 1951 Chevy, put a 265 small block in it, drove to Tijuana and had a tuck and roll interior done, in 1 day. Great car, cruised the streets of San Bernardino in 1959/1960, raced stop light to stop light. Wasted youth, but the best days of my life. Beautiful cars and beautiful girls, life couldn't have been any better. God bless America!
A 2 week mini series in the junk yard. I'd definitely watch it
Rusty Acres, here we come !!!
This is me bleep blooping approval. 👍
That would be PERFECT
definitely would watch that build
This would be amazing. Film it and edit it; start to finish. Then drop it to us as random mid-week surprises up through new years. That would be one hell of a holiday special
My favorite quote from this episode was @ 2:06:00 "We've got some rapid unscheduled disassembly happening in the transmission. I dont know if its tryna make a forth gear, or delete a couple, but im just tryna not to listen to it". 😂😂😂
Thank you Derrek for the great content as always.
That’s an Elon Musk quote about one of his Space X rockets.
@@marscruz -recently- popularized by him, yes. but its been around since, from what i can find, the 70's. some sources say navy tech worksheets and books, some say other infantrymen, but I'll go out on a limb and say it was said by some funny soldier and passed down through random folks.
@@liviflame4958
Makes sense. GIs are known to come up with some amusing descriptions for all their experiences.
I've been trying to get my dad into your youtube channel because he is super into restorations like these, but I was totally unable to get him to bite hahah. He's not really that fond of watching many people on YT. But then one day he called me downstairs and told me to check out what's on TV - I didn't realize you had a TV show now! My dad loved watching it! He says you remind him of his friend hahah. Awesome to see you expanding out to other media, it's rare to find quality channels such as yours with genuine personalities that don't ham it up for the camera, and now I'm chuffed to hear my dad is enjoying your content on the tube as well.
This was the first video I’ve watched in months, and it gave me a strange nostalgic feeling watching the intro and realizing what was gonna be entailed in the video, and to Derek, love your videos man, we need more guys like you in the world.
Derek, my uncle and I have been watching you since day one on TH-cam and last year when Road Worthy came out we were fans of that show too. With a heavy heart my uncle passed away on Wednesday and the last thing that he watched was the Duster episode number 2. I want to thank you for giving us good entertainment and a buckets of laughter through these last few years. We appreciate you brother.
Sad to hear he passed. But happy you an him found enjoyment together watching VGG.
I've seen most of Derek's "Will it run and drive home" videos and I have to say that the full, multiple inhales of the interior followed by a description of what it smells like is funny as hell. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for watching
There's an aroma science of long paractice in those descriptions, matched only by the bouquet analysis of engine fluids: colour, intricate smells and complex flavours.
Hey Derek. My beloved cat died today, it was my best friend for half my life. Thank u so much for your videos, you always manage to make me cheer up a bit, thank you so much!
Losing a pet hurts. My condolences.
With all of the fantastic rescues you do this one proves to get the thrill of victory every now and again you need the agony of defeat. I’m just glad you found your way to making these amazing videos.
Lord protect Derrick when he does these long revival road trips. I know anything can happen. Keep him safe.
Very nice God Bless You and Your Family Also 🙏
Amen brother.
It’s tv…
@@fishhuntadventure ???
By far my best line from Derek yet..."Just got to tickle'em in the right spot and they'll giggle back at ya." 😂 57:20
It's probably the most controversial line he's ever said.I love it!
Appreciate you - and your family . I’m a nurse, not a mechanic. But I’ve decided to tackle my broken down 2006 GMC Canyon. Been sitting for a few years now (mouse droppings!!). Used to restore cars with my Dad (1962 T-bird, etc) as a teen, so have some experience. Thanks for all of your awesome videos!
Its really nice to see somone passionate about what he is doing. Not alone the car, but the calm talking to the camera. No fancy editing, which i love. Just a down to the earth fella wrenching on old cars, and havin a heck of a time driving then home.
I really appreciate your content and love the simplicity.
Please keep it up and keep wrenching 😎👍
Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
You always tell us thanks and how much we are appreciated. But I want to say thank you for all the time you put into what you do. 🤟🏼
Thanks so much!
Definitely keen for a junkyard revival - a series would be amazing
Just finished watching this one. One of my very favorite episodes, even if the shiftalator gave out before you hit home. Sorry you couldn't find the parts in time. Hope to see more of this car in the future. Gave me a new appreciation for 1950s Chevys. Thanks for all the fascinating and entertaining footage!
I think it's so cool that you like running the Cooper Cobra tires. I have worked at the Cooper plant in Texarkana Arkansas since July of 95. I remember when the design came out and everyone at the plant was talking about the snake on the sidewall. Been watching the show for years and love it. Keep up with the fine entertainment!!
Love the junkyard rebuild idea - hope you can make that happen. Glad you got to see the backroads of my home state of Kansas, would love to see you back there (maybe wait until May though, winters are tough out there).
This would be awesome! I wonder what kinda Frankenstein dealio he could come up with.
Yeah a junkyard rebuild would be amazing.
Definitely think a video rebuilding from chad’s collection would be a great idea. Love the content and information, very interesting and informative.
Back in the day I lived in the wrecking yards, on weekends, scrounging parts that were more serviceable than what I currently was using. Would love to see a wrecking yard revival of something unusual but still able to be fixed with yard parts. Do it!
Hi Derek: This one was a trip down memory lane for me. My first car was a 1953 Chevy Business Coupe my dad bought for $50.00 around 1971ish when I was still in high school. Straight 6, 3 on the tree. Drove it from CAL to Colorado in 1973. Terrible gas mileage, hardly used any oil. My boyfriend painted big white stars on the doors - it was the talk of the law class at the Univ of No Colorado in Greeley. Somewhere along the way I had to replace the taillights (twice) because people kept hitting the back of the thing... it was a tank. Then the linkage started going.. I want to say it was 3rd gear. We limped back to CAL and sold it for $75.00. Loved that car. My husband and I watch your show all the time. Best show on TH-cam! Jackie
I would absolutely love a junkyard revival. Maybe make a poll in the community section with the top 4 cars and let the poll decide which one to revive. I love junkyards, nothing better than watching these beautiful classics come back to life. Sorta reminds me of the old show Junkyard Wars I used to watch as a kid. They’d make cool contraptions using nothing but what they could find in the junkyard.
I forgot all about that show!
yes
As a car guy myself, I just love how Derek takes us with him for these journeys. Exploring the car in the beginning to arriving home with the car in the end and working on them in between. This is the best content on youtube!
Absolutely agree 💯
I love these revivals. When I first found your channel I binged more than a full Saturday. I think the junkyard - "put together something from all the things" - would be awesome.
As the current caretaker/owner of my uncle's fully restored 1950 Chevy Fleetline, this video really got to me. Keep up the great work!
Awesome, Derek. Thank you for your hard work for this community. We know a guy must be exhausted, but you keep going early in the morning to late at night, healthy and sick. Thank you to Jessica and family too! We appreciate all you do very much.
Thanks
@@ViceGripGarage I want to thank you for adding several new words to my vocabulary
I started your channel about a year or so ago and have been watching ever since. I want to thank you for everything you do to get these videos up and out. Keeping a guy motivated to get out there to work on your project or something and bring it back to life! Thanks again for keeping a guy laughing and motivated!
Thanks for the kind words
@@ViceGripGaragethanks brother for keeping old cars alive don't get more American then that 🛠
Just love it when you rescue a 50’s vintage car. I must have lived then in a previous life because it just feels like home when I get in one. Keep it up-love your channel and most of all your sense of humor.
Been watching since way back with the van build and got to say I love how much better the quality of builds got real growth not only in audio content but growth in yourself keep it going
For sure would enjoy an episode-of you in that yard picking out a car and making it go. Always a treat to see anything you put out for us and as you said win some lose some but that car is fantastic and worth the time you put into it and you got to see some awesome views on the way back. Thanks for everything you do.
Derek makes every Friday better
Saturday*
Thank you
I've only recently discovered you and am addicted. I love the whole concept of traveling to a car and driving it home. Please keep it up!
I’m 18 and one of my first cars I bought was a 1951 Chevy Styleline from my grandpa. I love that car so much, I cannot wait to take her out this summer
Love the junkyard idea. Been wanting to do a revival with my dad for years, but life always got in the way. After years I finally pulled the trigger and am the proud owner of a 1956 Oldsmobile at 26 years old. Brought it to Colorado, and just got it started for the first time in 47 years this week. Thanks for inspiring us all.
The junkyard rescues are some of my favorite roadkill episodes, and I would 💯% love to see you rescue one from that yard!
Love seeing you teach your son, I always enjoyed working with my dad. Sadly he passed when I was only 8, I wanted to learn so much more from him.
Thank you so much for taking me on this journey! Loved it. In the end, you may think “ya win some, ya lose some”, but I win every. Single. Time. :)
Another two hours of Derek wrenching. A fella feels mighty thankful for all the hard work that goes into VGG.
My favorite part about these videos is seeing his stress when driving home. You can tell he is listening to every small detail
I can relate. The first 4 cars I owned were "junk boxes" that always wanted to die on me, leaked every fluid possible, jumped timing teeth, mufflers fell off, throw out bearings shattered, fun times!
@@Jay.Kellett I have the worst luck with cars I could buy a brand new one and it still would break down on me
Really appreciate all the work you and your "team" do to bring us these superb videos !👋🇮🇪👌
Dude your videos arent videos anymore. Absolutely quality. TV show you remember from years ago type-o' quality. You have done so much for your family. Super awesome
You gotta do a junkyard rescue Derek. 100%. Make it happen.
what should he rescue, a corolla?
@@karabinjr Camry
That's what he does...!!??!! He's doing it now...! Right now...! Open your eyes...!!!
Eeeeh isn't every show a junkyard rescue 😂😂😂
It’s so Awesome you take us along with your adventures Derek. I like how you give us a 2 hour show to see how it all unfolds. I am always learning new things watching your shows. Lots of support from Saskatchewan,Canada
I've watched a lot of auto shows and channels over many, many years and yours is the most entertaining AND informative I've ever seen.
Thank you so much!
Derek, let me say you are looking incredibly well for a feller who works as hard as you evidently do. Might it be doing purposeful work with success and a lot of time outside? Good for you. So uplifting recoveries. Just love to see these deep rescues.
The views as you go through the small towns is what makes these revivals extra special. The old gal did a good job getting you as far as she did. I Would like to see you do a revival from the yard you visited that would be really neat. Thanks to U-Haul for saving the day.
Derek it would be awesome to see a yard revival like you were saying. I feel like there's so many unique cars that people never even seen in those things
Despite the go-forward / go-backward machine giving out…still enjoyed making the trip with you! Glad you were able to grab a rig so conveniently!
My first car was a 1950 Chevy 2 door Deluxe with a 216 six, 3 on the tree, and more rust than steel. I got it when I was 12. Should have never let it go but my dad got into some trouble and had to sell it for legal fees. Thanks for bringing back some memories!
“Ya gotta stop twirling the batteries on the paint” as he spins it around on the primer. 😂🤣😆🤣😂
One thing that never ceases to amaze is your ability to take hardship in stride, Derek. Whether its just creative editing, or a genuine ability to maintain composure even in the face of insurmountable odds, you're a good example of how we should all be. Come to UT. Your next rootbeer is on me.
Rootbeer? LOL You mormons sure know how to party
@@nopenone9399 haha, We're not much for the booze, but boy do we know how to cook!
@chadwinfoley8426 I know, I'm just givin ya a hard time. I lived in Utah for a long time.
Or his ability to stop the camera. Yell expletives. Then start the camera back up after he feels better from yelling those expletives into the sky.
I appreciate the lack of cussing, fer sure
Brings back many good memories. Born in 46, I grew up driving and working on chevys. Had a 49 sedan delivery, a 50 DeLuxe 2 door hardtop, and a 51styleline deluxe, plus my dad's 53' 5 window pickup. Great cars. Put a 283 in the 51 with a 4 speed w/overdrive. 57 chevy rear end fits right in to convert to open drive.
At 15 my first truck was a 67 Chevy. I went through two Muncie 3 speeds doing that. I made a notched stick to jam under the dash to hold column shifter in 3rd .second transmission did the same after awhile. 3rd one was a Saginaw. It worked permanently and had synchronized 1st. I did have to change the bearing retainer so it would slide in the bell housing. Some of my first repair s, all before I turned 17. I could do one by myself in a hour or so. I kept thinking while watching that junk yard probably had a couple hundred of them, but I realize you were pretty far a way by then. I enjoyed the video. Thank you!
Honestly impressed by how much that gallop settled just in the time a feller took while getting it to bark off and idle. Always love to see these old beauties brought back to life. 🥹 Fair play to you, Derek.
The first time I ever watched one of your videos YEARS ago, i got anxiety pains of watching your breakdowns in the middle of nowhere and at night. BUT, after seeing it always end up ok in the end one way or another, i can really enjoy watching you work through all the different scenarios that come up. Godspeed on All Your revival journeys.
Kind of like life...don't get anxiety just work through the different scenarios...
The video of Dereks which got me hooked was early on when he was doing some man-ten-ance on an old pickup..alternators went flying, and I was laughing pretty hard at him..an old video now but man I enjoyed that one
"Kind of like life...don't get anxiety just work through the different scenarios..." @@bcpitch5 This is what I learned was a farmer's mentality as a kid working on farms. Shit happens, you just address it right there and then. Unexpected stuff like a plow needing welded, a tractor piston's ring breaking, etc. Call together what and who you know, and break it down to get it done.
@@workingguy6666 Hell yeah brother
The reverb on the radiator had me laughing pretty good 😂
I actually paused the video because I was laughing too much and didn't want to miss anything. 😂😂😂
Love this ride, the first car I put on the road when I was 16, was a 1951 4 door Chevy, I drove it for a couple years until I locked up the engine, really enjoyed that car😊 it was in excellent condition, no rips, anywhere, head liner perfect, body were perfect, I bought it in 1966 for 150 dollars from a local farmer, a true garage find back in the day
Work as a remote programmer, several years until I can retire. I work on one screen and more often than not have your show in another screen. Thanks for the entertainment and staying real.
This guy is one of my heros, for sure... A modern day Will Rogers. Happiness and success are not a place, they are a journey... and he has taken us along on so many wonderful journies over the years (including this one) that the end result matters little.
God Bless
As many episodes as I watch, it’s amazing to me how this 63 year old disabled woman is in love with this channel. I don’t know the name to any parts and thanks to this channel I tell my mechanic things like there is a problem with the fire make it happener, ask waitresses for wobble pops and look for my ignition stick all the time! Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment!
Whether you're really a 63 yr old disabled woman, or just someone with a great sense of humor, i dont care. .....you had me laughing out load with your comment. THANKS!
I'm just loving this. My dream car, a '49 to '53 Chevy coupe with a SBC and a manual transmission! SCORE!!! Only thing that would make it better would be some Emily Reeves commentary along with yours. Thanks, Derek!!!
I like the Ford or International pickup in that yard you found. Sadly the transmission has the same issue my grandparents 37 Chevy had, I am glad to see you got this old 50 as far as you did though. Keep doing what you are doing and stay safe! Awesome car!
Somewhere up in heaven, the previous owner of this car just subbed to your channel, with a huge smile and tears of joy in his eyes...
A junkyard revival would be awesome to see. I'm amazed how many of these you have actually made it home with. 1400 miles was just a bit too far for the old girl.
HUGE fan! Just discovered you about 2 months ago. So much content to catch up on. I love the idea you mentioned on this video of going to Nobody's and getting one of their vehicles running and driving it home. I look forward to seeing it. Keep up the good work!
As always, it was a pleasure to watch. I know it's all in the magic of editing and experience, but you make it look so easy! I have a 1975 LeSabre that really wants to move again, someday, and you are a big inspiration to get out there and apply some of that learnin' to it.
17 hours and already at 533k views!!!!! So glad to see a feller gettin the recognition he deserves!!!!
We definitely would love to see a junk yard revival! Getting to see not only the car you pick to revive but all the cars you will be using parts from to bring it back to life. I think it’s a must do video.
Been a heck of a trip watching your channel explode. Even got me some motivation to work on my project, as a result my great grandfathers 1964 should be roadworthy soon, after 35 years resting in peace. On a budget of course, but it’ll do the job.
That 1950 Chevy is 8 years older than me for crying out loud! Amazing that you get it running after a few days. Great video as always, still waiting for your trip back home as I writing this comment.
Don’t usually watch 2 hour videos but I couldn’t skip through any of this one. Thanks for taking us with you on your journey, no shame in trailering the last 900 miles. You make it look easy and do it with a great attitude. Waiting for the next one.
Thanks for the spoiler... 😂
Vgg was the very first TH-cam channel that i started watching and still love it just as much as I did back then! 😊
1:29:50 I raised a glass a saluted the owner and family of this great treasure ! Derek, you are the best ! It's way past beer-30, so I need to get back to it, if you know what I mean... cheers brother !
One of my most favorite videos I've watched of yours. Still a big win in my book!
A treat when you release a new vid.
Del, here in UK we have 99% stick shift. To check is an engine is not locked, we pop it into highest gear, remove any breaking and then rock the vehicle back and forth. This frees stuck motors as gently as possible, or not.
When Derek said the headliner was in good shape and then turned the camera up there I started laughing and can't stop. My grandfather had one of these, dead stock.
This is what us old folks worked on all the time, a small block Chevy with points. Eventually, this could be a nice period hot rod. Put disc brakes in the front. Solid car.
Put a 4 or 5 speed in it? or R700?
Derek, you are like a kid in a toy shop you have to touch everything, the best was when you grabbed the turn signal lever and had to try it out lol, i am the same way. love your videos keep them coming
Next one will make up for it. This is the joy of your channel, you win some you lose some and you're not afraid to give it a shot to save an old car ❤
Definitely two thumbs up on a boneyard revival! I think everyone agrees that you are the hardest working family on TH-cam and bring great entertainment and we really appreciate it! Bring the thunder!
YESSSSS!
That car is No Bueno
Derick, just wanted to say, you just make me happy. Your positive attitude and combination of doing it right while doing it just right enough at the same time is delightful. Thank you for being you!
Your a Brave man! I hate being broken down along on the road or trail..... why I spend extra time making sure I'm not going to break down but it happens when you want more power & performance out of anything. Great job looking ahead on what your likely to need & how to milk every system till your totally out of options. I tend to use my trailers so I don't have to work in the gravel.
Love how you never ever get stressed out. Always see the glass half full.
Simply amazing, some could say he sets himself up for success but id like to see them do it and bring the laughs and happiness he gives, hes a blessing
Derek’s dedication to these videos is legendary!
Thank you for your videos. As a simple shade tree mechanic, I don’t have your skills to accomplish these amazing feats of mechanical prowess. And, I’m absolutely certain I don’t have the blood pressure management to pull these off. White knuckling a potential “unscheduled disassembly” would be hospitalization with cardiologist. So thank you for inviting us on your adventures. And, I am adding by I my vocabulary. The best on the TH-cam
For some reason I just absolutely loved this one. Great views and it seemed as though limited issues until the transmission went.
You are a modern day hero Derek. Even my wife loves your show; the first car show she has ever enjoyed watching; we love the respect you have for these old jalopies. Keep up the adventures.
A junkyard resurrection would be awesome. I always look forward to your next video (or episode)....so keep up the great work.
On a side note, thanks for giving me the courage to buy something hundreds of miles away and having the adventure of limping it home. What an absolutely stressful BLAST.
just found this channel today. this guy is an extremely hardworking, hilarious, and talented human. thanks so mushc for your content.
You did your best getting it home! Glad you ended in a safe spot to fold. Thank you for your inspiring videos!
