Hear hear!! Awesome video put together by a couple dudes who love their work. Now,, all of us realize this would be at least a $10,000 job for us IF we were to take our rig in for a job like we just watched. Thank you Kevin and Derek for all the insider tips each of you shared with VGG's fans 🙂
Kevin Tetz is a legend. When I was younger I would set my alarm clock on Sunday mornings just to watch him on "Trucks". Him Stacey David and the rest of the crew. Thank you Derek for having him on the show. Kevin's passion is infectious!
I was the same way. So many great builds were done. My very first favorite was the S10 X-treme with the V8 Swap. You can tell just by his demeaner that he's so comfortable Infront of the camera.
For myself i take a bit of explaining to understand something more than others sometimes but Kevin puts things in a way thats simple, clear and understandable
I really enjoy how you integrate Bentley/family into your work. You don't berate him or talk down to him, you educate him and teach him the easiest, best way to do things. I like how you ask him to do something and give him the info he needs to get the job done, goes a long way for relations between dad and son....you are definitely doing something right! Thanks for sharing Derek!
Nice to see Kevin pop up on the channel. I used to watch him on Trucks and I always enjoyed his work. He really knows what he's doing when it comes to bodywork.
Kevin has been such a treat telling us the ins and outs of mixing, sanding, and painting. Derek learned a lot working these long hours to get this F100 giveaway truck a good paint job. Thanks Kevin and Derek for this good video!
Kevin is a guy that when he speaks its instantly inspiring. He is so up beat and positive and when he says "You can do this" he is not pulling your chain. You really can do this. Its patience and not being afraid to dig deeper and have confidence in accomplishing the task at hand. Don't be afraid to try . You might just surprise yourself. I can attest to that personally. Thanks for all the inspiration!
This is by far one of the best videos you've made to date! I enjoyed watching and listening to you and Kevin paint the truck. I haven't seen anything from him, and loved him on Trucks! This type of video has really set the bar at such a high level. Simple, entertaining, and educational. I just watched an hour and a half video, and could have watched more. Thank you, Derek.
"Laying down the paint is a reward for good bodywork" - that is incredible advice and exactly the way you need to approach it. When someone really really knows their stuff, the simple one liners are worth their weight in gold.
Hi Derek and Awesome Derek Friend nice truck and workmanship!!! The paint 🎨 job is really good !!! I feel like I'm a hillbilly Ha Lake In The Hills Billies Next is the spray can's of the CHEVELLE
I've always thought Kevin was a hell of a mechanic/body man. I loved watching him on Trucks back in the day. I'm glad you two have come together and fostered a great friendship.
I am thrilled when I see Bentley and Bradley helping Derek with his projects. He is such a patient and encouraging dad and it is gratifying to see them (especially Bentley) soaking everything in. That’s the real value of these projects - spending time with the next generation and passing along values and life lessons.
I love it when your Kids help. It's really awesome to see that you are the same person with your kids and around your kids, as when you're just with us. Keep making great entertaining, and heartwarming content.😄
Your little man makes me smile, what a great kid👍 It’s crazy how far you go to make something nice for someone else, considering that you generally do the minimum for yourself. You’ve gotta great heart. Whoever wins this will be blessed
Same here. 10 mins in and had to stop and give praise to Derek for his outstanding parenting!!!!♥️♥️♥️ Actually just checked and I'm only 7m 19secs in LOL
I’ve been watching Kevin for years, decades actually, and he never ceases to amaze me. He is brilliant and extremely talented yet makes everything very understandable for the novice.
That kid is very lucky to have an amazing dad like you! Not only you're an amazing mechanic but a good humor kind person and he's going to be just like you!
I'm not a brand guy. I am a truck guy. That old work horse is the pride of the show. You and Kevin should be proud of what was accomplished in such a short period of time.
This is absolutely awesome, it was so nice of Kevin to go the extra mile and do the extra special paint job on this truck. Whoever wins this will be a very lucky person indeed! Keep up the excellent work and stay safe!
Thanks for all you do sir. Love seeing you teach your son to be a man. Also, make sure to take the time for yourself and your family to stay grounded and healthy. We need people like you and your content long term.
@@mikenonameneeded3485I don't know if it is the fumes or finding small imperfections/runs/specks in your nearly finished paint job thousand of times, but something seems to gently sand down the layer of sanity over a guy's brain over the years.
@@quixototalisa lot of painters I've worked alongside think they don't need proper ppe. Getting high off the paint, clear coat, acetone, etc fumes will mess you up over the years.
@@-_JayR_- I guess dudes that work on quartz countertops are dying from silicosys. Saw a video where they were getting lung transplants, didn't even know that was a thing. Did more research and basically yeah your lungs are something you really shouldn't play around with. Which sucks because I am lazy as hell, but you REALLY REALLY don't want to be inhaling all the shit we do....
I,v been painting for almost 40 years...Some of my best paint jobs I did right out side..Love this one...Right up my ally..Thanks Brother car guy...VERY NICE JOB INDEED..💯👍
Kevin is cool...he's a good guy, he's a teacher, he's passionate about what he does, he can be just a semi-picky, wants-it-right-enough car body and paint man depending on the project and the work needed...Kevin is the perfect combination kind of guy a feller (or fellette) could and wants to hang out with, learn from and do great car stuff with.
Can’t tell a guy how much I love watching you and Kevin together! Kevin has been one of my favorite car guys/tv fellers! So much nostalgia of hearing his voice watching Trucks on the weekends. Perfect combo watching you guys thrash on a truck together!
Thanks Kevin and Derek I had a an oil canning dent on the roof of my VW bus and was just about to tackle it when this video came along. Thanks to you guys, My repair came out awesome!. You guys rock
🎉🎉🎉Dad is just getting way to much enjoyment out of Bentley's struggles with the rust and dirt shower!!!! Nothing like it hey Dad!!!! Reminds me of Jesse and myself. Jesse is my 15yo son who wrenches with me !!! Keep the LOVE flowing forever. God bless you and yours Sir!🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️💯👍😎🇺🇸
I have never been ok with a "because i said so" way of "teaching". I appreciate the people that take the time to explain why something is or why it happens. I want to know those things.
For wheel derek you should do a old steel rim with nice original chrome hub caps. It will fit the whole old Ford work truck look with the classic white steel rims and chrome Ford hub caps.
I absolutely love this channel! I wanna say thank you to Derek and his family for all the content. From all the laughs to the learning experiences! I've gotta say that this video was 1 of my favorites because I learned so much from Kevin and Derek. I'm restoring my fathers 1966 C10, and I plan on doing all the body work and paint myself. Thank you, Kevin and Derek, for all that you guys do!!!
The little human is really gettin good at the talking on the video. A lot of pressure for a little fella and I am overjoyed seeing ya working as father son on the projects. Lucky to have what ya got there Derek
I miss working in the garage with my Dad, it was the best time we had together. Learn loads but mainly taking things a part teaches you how it works. Thanks some much.
Wow guys that old FORD came out beautiful. Lots of hard work. Thank you Kevin and Derek. Special thanks to your little helper Derek. Brings back great memories working around the garage with my son. You guys rock.
over 2 months of binge watching and finally got through all of them and got current. Thanks Derek, you have helped me to get back on all my "hobbies" and finish them up.
I'm super happy Mr. Kevin has been able to lean into the education and sharing of knowledge in painting, That's a job that'll NEVER go away. You don't often see "career" automotive painters over 50! All that time in a hot booth, plastic suits, constant squatting, bending, and shoulder movements DESTROY your body. (not even mentioning any prep although most paint dudes have help for that)
I forgot what a pleasure it is to watch and listen to Kevin work. He is excellent at communicating his technique so that the layman can understand and follow along! I am also glad I found his you tube channel, and yes I subscribed! Thanks Derick for doing this mashup of OG’s in the DYI industry! Good stuff buddy!
Kevin (and Ryan Shand) were my favorite hosts on the powernation shows. They did some fantastic projects and by far the best tips for people doing it at home (or dreaming of doing).
@@paintucation please do! I can't say enough how you both gave my friends and I the confidence to just try something. My first body work and painting was done on some fenders that I found around my uncle's. I'm no paint pro (far from it unless you count fauxtina) but those lessons of putting in effort towards research and preparation lead to removing fear of failure. This was applied to all of life, not just vehicles. We definitely had lots of failures but they turned into learning experiences. Also, I'm a ford guy (mostly) and I will always love the Rolling Thunder Ranger. Thanks!
been watching you since those days working in your little garage. I just wanted to say how much i lover your content and how hard you work to do all your other ventures while still doing youtube videos, I know im not alone in saying how much we appreciate your time! Your an amazing guy! from your love ove the us military and its vets, to your love for the fans, to how much of a great dad you are! keep up the hard work fella!
Just an excellent series of videos. I love this restoration of a Ford truck - and I’m a Chevrolet guy! Let’s hope we see more of Kevin. I am so glad that this master craftsman is teaching his skills to a younger generation. He is a great combination of “old school” tips and tricks and the use of new school techniques, when they work, so that any aspiring body man (or woman) can learn a whole lot by watching this video!
Keven is a beast love how he works and his dedication to the craft it unmatched and the fact that he is willing to teach is amazing think you Genteman for the work you do
So glad to see you teaming up with Kevin. He helped me so much on my 72 F-250 crew cab project. I took the paintucation corse and did the body work myself. Hope to see you do more with him in the future. 👍🏻
Been watching Kevin since I was a young fellow. Have always been entertained by his skill, knowledge, ability and most of all his energy. I have a whole new appreciation for the guy watching this video. Kevin must have an extremely busy schedule and for him to take the time to accomplish this task just shows the kind of guy he is. Thoroughly enjoying watching this build. Thanks for putting out the amazing content. Keep up the excellent work.
What a treat to watch a guy who is real good at what he does. Been watching Kevin over different shows and to watch him and Derek interact is great. That truck is going to be such a treat for whoever wins it.
This was such a heartwarming episode. This truck brought back so many memories of working with my dad on his 76 Ford. We rebuilt his engine in 1990, then again in 2020. He's owned it since he as 16. Still drives it every day. Thank you again! I'll be getting some gear to get into this lottery.
Hey Derek I’d love to win the truck but unfortunately I live in the UK 🇬🇧 but I really enjoy all your content it’s amazing also good to the lucky person who wins the truck 👍🏻
Wow. Just, wow. I love watching this transformation. There are few things I like more than seeing an older pick-up that's been cared for. That's love right there.
I remember Kevin from various other hot rod shows. Always fun, entertaining, and informative to watch! Thank you Derek for having him on your video and giving us all some more advice on body prep work and painting!
Just wanted to thank you, Derek, for your amazing videos. As I have suffered from depression since Covid 19 kicked in, watching your show on a daily basis is a huge help. Cheers Derek. Ian
Any video with Kevin in it, I learn something EVERY time. Even watching his shows from Power Block/Nation. Thank you Kevin for your teaching and directions.
Thanks Bentley with helping Dad on my new truck! Much appreciated buddy! Derek, Keven I can’t thank you enough for the absolute quality paint job! She is gorgeous! Come on!! Bring it home to daddy!! Good stuff!!
Derek, seeing you and your brood working together is the best. It has brought my boys and I closer together, as we (and Grandpa too) have worked over the past weekends to R&R the V8 in our '67 GTO. Thank you for being a genuine good dude and dad.
Thanks Derek and Kevin, I had a 68 and a 71 bump side LWB, I finished the 71 drove it for a couple of yrs. and sold it, one of the worst mistakes I have ever made! This dent side is really nice! Kevin, I watched trucks, every episode and you are a wizard! thanks!
The amount I learned from this video is unreal. It's going to help so much! Also, you two giving affordable alternatives knowing some of us are doing barn builds? Unreal. Thank you guys! You're helping the younger generations get in the game with your knowledge.
I've been watching VGG for several years. I admire your family and the funny interactions you all share with each other. Thanks for the uplifting TV time. I look forward to each new video.
The amount of time this guy puts in is insane. I speak for everyone when I say “thank you Derek for entertaining us”
I'm sure he's very well compensated lol
I don't know how Derek does it. I couldn't keep up with him.
Ten Fold Sir! !!!
Indeed 🤠🤘♥️

This was such a heartwarming episode. This truck brought back so many memories of working with my dad on his 76 Ford. We rebuilt his engine in 1990, then again in 2020. He's owned it since he as 16. Still drives it every day. Thank you again! I'll be getting some gear to get into this lottery.
Hey Derek I’d love to win the truck but unfortunately I live in the UK 🇬🇧 but I really enjoy all your content it’s amazing also good to the lucky person who wins the truck 👍🏻
Wow. Just, wow.
I love watching this transformation.
There are few things I like more than seeing an older pick-up that's been cared for. That's love right there.
He is so hyper. I bet he was so much fun to work with. I have worked with guys like him they make the day so much fun.
Just finished the stay tuned one and this popped up. Happy Friday Derek.
Happy Friday
Same same..... almost like they timed it out that way.....
Please do this to Betty White. Love you guys!
I watched Stay Tuned with Tony, Then Paintucation with Kevin, and now Derek and Bentley. Friday night is party night with Derek.
Now after i finish this video I’m going to have to jump over and catch stay tuned
What a way to end the Night. Thanks so much.
I remember Kevin from various other hot rod shows. Always fun, entertaining, and informative to watch! Thank you Derek for having him on your video and giving us all some more advice on body prep work and painting!
Just wanted to thank you, Derek, for your amazing videos.
As I have suffered from depression since Covid 19 kicked in, watching your show on a daily basis is a huge help.
Cheers Derek.

Ive watched kevin since i was a teenager, im 43 now. Lol. He knows his bady work, for sure
its a joy seeing you and Bentley working together, makes me very excited to have my own small humans someday!
Crazy love you put into this! It shows excellence. Fantastic job guys!!
Thanks so much!!
I always enjoyed watching Kevin work on his show, but watching him work without a script is absolutely incredible. Thank you for doing this together!
Any video with Kevin in it, I learn something EVERY time. Even watching his shows from Power Block/Nation. Thank you Kevin for your teaching and directions.
Just WOW!! What a transformation! My hat is off to both Derek and Kevin for an amazing job.
Thanks so much!
LOVE IT AND I STILL THINK YOU SHOULD KEEP IT
I agree but its a ford he won't
It's a little too late for that but the amount of money he's going to make off this truck he would be stupid to keep it.
NO! he shouldnt keep it, because i want it!
LOL, have you seen how many trucks he has up in rusty acres and in the new barn? Several are his beloved square body!
Thanks Bentley with helping Dad on my new truck! Much appreciated buddy! Derek, Keven I can’t thank you enough for the absolute quality paint job! She is gorgeous! Come on!! Bring it home to daddy!! Good stuff!!
Derek, seeing you and your brood working together is the best. It has brought my boys and I closer together, as we (and Grandpa too) have worked over the past weekends to R&R the V8 in our '67 GTO. Thank you for being a genuine good dude and dad.
This was one of my favorite paint videos I’ve ever seen and I love watching Derek Turner. Wrenches, such an awesome guy. Thanks, Derek
Nice paint Job Kevin!
You can see that his son really wants to follow in his dad's footsteps. He's a hell of a worker and he's eager to learn.
Thanks Derek and Kevin, I had a 68 and a 71 bump side LWB, I finished the 71 drove it for a couple of yrs. and sold it, one of the worst mistakes I have ever made! This dent side is really nice! Kevin, I watched trucks, every episode and you are a wizard! thanks!
Guys like this make me proud to be an American. So passionate about the work and excited to share it. You're pretty cool Derek.
The amount I learned from this video is unreal. It's going to help so much! Also, you two giving affordable alternatives knowing some of us are doing barn builds? Unreal. Thank you guys! You're helping the younger generations get in the game with your knowledge.
I've been watching VGG for several years. I admire your family and the funny interactions you all share with each other. Thanks for the uplifting TV time. I look forward to each new video.
