Take it down to the frame and make yourself a Yorel a flip on cletus's Leroy !! or maybe a ybur a flip on ruby lol
*I'll pay $30 + S&H*
if you and Jessica will sign each headlight. I'm looking to buy a hoodie for my son when they're back in stock. Thanks
I sent you a message through Instagram about some vet parts
Gutted I'm in the UK great video, so glad you are going to get use out of that engine and drive train
This is when a 2 post comes in handy
ATTENTION: There is only ONE Vice Grip Garage user, and it's this one. I will not contact you on Telegram, facebook, instagram or email - nor request any information from you. Anyone attempting to do so is a scammer.
WHAT !?!?!? I DIDN'T WIN A FREE TRIP TO YOUR SHOP AND PICK A CAR OF MY CHOICE BY CASH APPING YOU $5000.?????
WELL I'LL BE DIPPED
You won't email me? Dang.
Yep. Tried to get me. I smelled a rat. Thanks for your awesome content Derek. Love the show man. Countless hours of top entertainment.
maybe this is the scammer pretending again
It’s a shame that you even have to tell people that lol. People have been on the internet too long to know by now
Man you've been pumping out the content lately...I was worried when I saw you sign up with Motortrend, since theyre owned by discovery and tend to ruin everything. Glad to see thats not the case here, keep up the great work!
More to come!
Seconded

I was thinking that since you did sign on with Motortrend that a 20 minute phone call with Lucky Costa would have given Derek valuable advice on separating the body and frame since Lucky did just that last year.
I owned my 2002 C5 for 21 yrs & 1 month & felt like doing what you did after dealing with typical C5 DIC’s, part replacements, just aggravating chasing down normal everyday problems. Said enough was enough & got tired of not trusting it after throwing $$$ at it. Walked into my local used car dealer & they bought it. I was sad but also relieved that I’d cut my losses. And thx for making me lol as you usually do. It makes all of my bad days better.
When you tore the fender off with your bare hands, my blood pressure went down to normal. Such a relaxing sound, music to my ears, such passive aggressive release of adrenaline. Good job, keep up the great videos!
I know! You could tell he didn’t give a rip at all about salvaging anything off the car, and he was enjoying it.
It WAS impressive watching him shred pieces off with his bare hands!
I was already laughing at the hood falling to the floor and I completely lost it when the fender went 🤣
I seriously enjoyed watching that disposable computer car get destroyed.
Watching you professionally dismantle this car was the hardest I’ve laughed in awhile. You’re so subtly funny and a guy just loves it
Was gonna say. About the same. Made me laugh so hard. And then remembered a lot of future old car wont really exist. Because of plastic parts and general designed obsolescence.
I don't usually comment and I never turn on my notification bell on TH-cam, until now. This is the only channel I do that for. I just recently discovered this channel about a month ago and I have been burning the videos up. Beyond Awesome content and entertainment, thank you so much.
Derek is one hell of a good guy
@joseph cordell From everything I've seen, I agree 100%
I'm envious of the fact you get to experience it all for the first time!
I'm a 58yo automatic transmission rebuilder of 45years , do the math , 🤔 and I don't think I've subscribe to more than four other people and Vice grip is my favorite ,B B 👍
A guy can burn a lot of hours on the funny videos Derek has made over the years. Enjoy.
I was having a horrible day and then this video came up. Thank you Derek for giving me the smile I so desperately needed today. My wife has breast cancer 🎀 and she is having some bad days so this was needed in a bad way
Wishing you and your wife the best buddy!
Prayers to You both Friend!
Prayers
Take good care of her, and I wish you both the best
WE NEED PROOF... WHAT FOLKS WILL DO FOR 👍
OK I’m a 50-year-old Feller from Canada….., I shouldn’t be this excited but a new VVG video on Tuesday! Sweet!
Thanks Derek you folks are awesome !
50 is the new 30 😉
@@ALPHAFTUCK Tell that to my knees and lower back, LOL.
52 & in Australia, just as excited mate, Rj in Oz
55 love every minute
You can really tell when Derek's dialed in on the filming!! You know he's been working for hours!
Love the episode!
Love the channel bud ...my Uncle Gary rebuilt a montycarlo it was the first year of the round headlights he loved that car ..he passed away a few years back from cancer.. he was my hero and watching your videos reminds me of him and brings back all the great memories I had with him ..he would have loved your videos as much as I do ...thanks a bunch for all the great content
After a long day at the garage working for the man. I can always relax to a vice grip garage video.
You owned that disassembly Derek. Too notch stuff brother.
Derek, when you first started rippin' off the fenders I thought I was watchin' an Andrew Camarata episode but the method started showin' through the madness and we were back in the ole Vice Grip Garage. All's well that ends well! Another great video!! Thanks + keep 'em comin'! Been on board for several years you never disappoint!
Derek's an ANIMAL.!
The way he started ripping it apart with his bare hands.! 😂 😂 😂 😂
this is the greatest vice grip garage ever... breaking shit is your natural skillset.
You probably put a big smile on a number of Corvette technicians faces with with this one! Hey, you did yourself and the Monte a big favor! Can’t wait to see that swap! Thanks for the video 👍!
Fun show , first time I've ever seen a C5 Vette disassembled like this, Very interesting, glad you could salvage as much as you did, looking forward to seeing more of the LS revival. Thanks
A guy had to look at the calender to make sure what day it is. A VGG video on a Tuesday? Well, I have to believe it, I'm watching it!!
Thank you for giving me the confidence to do my 1983 Hurst Olds Restoration. You show that things are not all that hard with a little bit of research and grit!
Dude, I haven't laughed so hard in quite a while when you started tearing the fender off by hand, I was rolling on the floor!!! I am a subscriber for life!!!
I'm glad you're pulling these out of the dark and do the projects on them whatever it might be. Maybe like others, just fix up enough to sell or fix it up more to drive. I enjoy your channel more than any others.
I have a feeling this whole series is about to be a tutorial for when Taylor Ray does the exact same thing to his G-Body Monte Carlo, and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress
Monte Carlos are one of my favorite 70 to 80s hot rod cars
I had 1974 black on black with 350 spoke rims, got totaled and broke my heart!
You just did what most of us gear heads want to do from time to time! Just go nuts on a job but can't. That was awesome.
It's rare, but it sure is fun!
you can! but it's costs painfully large amounts of money (trust me trust me), fortunately, I have only went berserk on my own trash over the years, which has also taught me to not do that, becauseit still "costs a pile". 🙄
@@throttlebottle5906 I was thinking the same while I listened to him encourage folks to just do it. I could see me starting into some big project that I didn't know how it would turn out and spending a STUPID amount of money before it was over and even then end up with pretty much junk. ha.
@@ChristopherBix sounds like life! it's a big project that you cannot understand fully.
some of us have no qualms doing huge projects, BUT, have no laborers worth a hill of beans. so avoid big projects 101, solo is how it is with tremendous weight on shoulders...
How many of a guy are there? Is it really possible for you to be on VGG and everyone elses content and still be the same person? Derek, I love all your content, be it here on VGG, Motor Trend, and other channels. Your scheule must be insane. Take time for yourself. I am sure that 98.7536 (repeating)% of viewers will still be here when you need a rest.
+ 1 As a former C5 Corvette owner I thouroghly enjoyed the subtle, yet effective techniques employed while removing the engine.
Had a pretty rough day, saw this pop up and it already made my day 200% better.
You mean 200.3576% better 🤣🤣🤣
A feller appreciates your camera friendly hospitality Derek. Cracks me up everytime!
As a Canadian, mad respect for your use of the sawzall 👍🤦♂️
Best power tool ever invented!!
So glad you brought this car back up! I was wondering what happens to it.
This seems therapeutic. Derek's earned this 10x over for all the rusty rigs he's put up with over the year.
Kind of reminded me of an old home-improvement episode the therapy is the first part! Derek and the boys even got a fiberglass sled out of the deal BONUS👍🏻
Always good to see a Vice Grip Garage video.
It is so much fun to watch what you do, and I love the way you go at it.
Over the years I have always just jumped in to things and did not worry about how it was going to turn out.
I kinda believe that was part of the fun and you make it look so cool and fun thanks
Cooking with a tire pile... Priceless! Derek you come up with some totally funny names and sayings. Endless entertainment.
Well well well, if it isn't the most pleasant surprise of my day. Thank you, sir. 🙏
Brings back memories of working at a wreckers. Unless the car was going to be put in the yard, the preferred engine removal method was drop it out from the bottom.
This channel quickly became my absolute favorite automotive channel. Red Green Show of the automotive entertainment world! Brilliant platform and very enjoyable content! Keep it coming! Cheers!!!!
100% 👍
I can't believe you got all that done in 58 minutes & 49 seconds! You really make the magic happen!! Thanks for having us over Derek.
It's called video editing!
@David Bevins Thanks Mr. Bevins.
I recently switched from a tech job to a junkyard and this is exactly how we dismantle the cars love the video keep up the good work
Derek, Thank you for all your work. Another treasure and surprise upload making a guys day! ❤
Ya know them huge disc brakes would be a fine add on for whatever rig you’re building
Thanks for the vid, the last 30 seconds has now got me off the couch and in garage.
Excellent!!
Love the direction you decided to go to get what you were after!😅
Can’t wait to see the next steps for that motor
It's a pleasure to watch you work. All those special tools. A GM dealer should hire you.
As a purist vintage Corvette owner that spent 8 years restoring my car, and as much as I love this channel, this video was painful to watch. Derek has toolboxes everywhere full of tools. Too bad he can't open them and unbolt the good parts and unclip wiring harnesses, instead of destroying virtually everything.
I could watch these videos all day long. Derrick you are truly an inspiration. My Jeep is still waiting for you to come and help me. All the cold snacks you can handle. And food, lots of food.
How in the hell did that entire job go so flawlessly?! Well done Derek!
Sawzall
@@AtomSquirrel Does just what it says on the tin. :)
Picturing all the ways things could have gone wrong. You guys think Derek used some top secret probability deflector? Wait! Editing??
I think a lot of cursing and sawing was edited out 😅
This man is very mechanically inclined and has extensive experience with auto mechanics. Plus the sawzall mentioned.
The sawzall work was SO satisfying !! GREAT video. The Monte Carlo is a perfect choice .
10 min in and this one is a gem! Thanks Derek
Love the work you do, very interesting, you do stuff we all would like to do,best wishes.
I had a pewter 2000 C5 convertible.
Actually, you'd be surprised on how many parts are worth quite a bit of money.
That transverse spring in the front is worth a pretty penny. Parting that puppy out will get you your money for sure.
There's lots of bolts underneath the fiberglass.
Well, I guess you know that by now :-)
May the Lord richly bless you and your family:-) Peter, the pilgrim
I’m trying to catch up on some past videos you made and it never gets old you put in so many hours on there projects but then again you make things happen thanks again
Great move to put the LS into the Monty. Love those 73/74 Monty body style. Yours for racing with the paint as it was is super
Do it, it will be fun and give you some pleasure for sure.
Good job dropping the LS.
When you took the saw to the corvette I think you drasticly increased the look of that door wedge design of a car.
The Quartermaster*
Derek! The guys at Iron Restoration, Chasing Classic Cars and West Coast Customs are interested in hiring you for all the corvette disassembles work. Your attention to detail is just what their looking for!
I know quite a bit about cars, but never did I know that corvette transmissions were in the rear of the car, that is cool
I love watching Derek look at a car again and not remember anything he did to it the first time. Such innocence. Much lols.
The smile after mentioning the cruising USA reference. 👍🏽
Thanks, love the engine out, tearing apart, real learning/teaching videos. Like 2vintage channel, not simply taking to mechanic
This is soooo satisfying to watch!
Gotta say - watching you put cars back together after years dormant is fun. But watching you tear apart a car is even more fun!
Also - not that I'm keeping count, but it seems you're just a thousand and some change from 1.5M subscribers. Congratulations ahead of time!!!
Wow, amazing job. I sure could use that EBC module if you want to get rid of it.
I’m just glad I had this chance to share my things with others like me. Kevin bill Brian whatever the hell your first name os
I had no idea it was going to look like that disassembled. I’m very excited to see the Monte Carlo upgraded in Monte Carlo Fairmont tire love that was actually my first car in 13 years old 1976, Monte Carlo
That’s actually not what I typed at all. Sorry.
I could hear the bones just a poppin and a snappin, sounds like you use them arms for some work!! Always an interesting job
This HAS to be one of my favourite episodes! Epic.
“Well for Pete’s sake we can’t even work on nothing.” 😂😂😂
Tint the windows on the ramp truck! That would make it look sharp!
Weird I would have thought the transmission would be right behind the motor like a regular rig but the Vette was a different beast
Can’t Waite for the install , thanks for re motivating me to do a last build I’m 60, watchin You , And Dan ( Hotrod Jesus LOL ) at DD Speed Shop , about to start on my life dream car ,it’s kinda long story, but I stroked , Dr Told my wife if Iwas showin cars they all had to go , she sold them , so I wouldn’t be working on cars anymore , anyway after about 12 yrs I found a 48 chev 2 Dr that had been frame off 4 link rear suspension done mustang 2 front clip, and fuel cell and floors done but a ton left to do , had been 350ci and turbo 350 , Guy I got it from kept that an sold me the rest , I Got it all home covered waiting for the temp outside to go up and quit raining ( Washington state ) anyway I see this 56 chev 2 door wagon Handyman 150 wagon , when I was ten I bought a model of that car and swore one day , well it was between4,999.

Thank You William
Saws-all! Winning! Perfect!
I had a 68 Vette and at the time thought it was too much plastic, my God!
Sheesh I can’t believe it’s been two years since you bought that beautiful car. Seems like yesterday!
It's called torque tube from the motor to the transmission
My favorite car is the Firebird and that would be a great car with that LS in it.
Derek, there's a guy up in G-dale Alberta who has a couple vidyas on how to pull engines. He has some great helpful hints.
A feller looked like he was having WAY too much fun with that sawzle. Seemed kinda therapeutic too....
Like a 2023 car for Derek! He's the master!
Brings back memories of Philo Bedo telling Clyde to scrap the Caddy.
Love your videos. You really need a 2 post hoist. Would have made this job way easier.
Awesome video and awesome car! I love that such a hot car is full of patina.
3:23
It was there.
You got yer left arm stuck under it and ripped it off.
😂
Yeah, you could have gotten an LS from a recycler cheaper but you would have cheated your fans of all this great content! You motivate me to keep at my frustrating and never ending jeep project.
30:05
Brain: “don’t do it, don’t do it”
Me: pulls trigger of the drill
Had a lot of good laughs in this episode, thanks Derek!
Thats a really nice high speed 10mm wrench you got there Derek!
maybe the vette bellhousing bolts are like a 4x4 s10 you take the frame mounts loose jack it up all u can and might get a wobble socket on them
I don't know why seeing a fellllller destroy the front end of that Corvette was so satisfying. One of my favorite videos yet.
Thanks for all your entertaining videos ! Love them all ! Thought there was a derek sighting @ home depot in valdosta georgia Tuesday evening 9/12/23 ? Swear it was you !
This man is my spirit animal at junkyards when I pull a motor and transmission 😆 sorry y'all only so many hours in the day and I ain't got time to do it nice so if you see cars Sawzalled in Orlando FL yards sorry not sorry 😂
That tail piece would make a nice wall hanger. Nice job on the body removal...driveline removal... split
Looks like time to update your startup interlude
My wife and I cracked up during this video. Great entertainment!!!
Derek, I have a funny feeling you are going to use this motor for your next “burn out competition” hot rod!…. nothin’ like an LT-1 motor for the next generation of smoke’n tires and free stylin’ burn outs! Great entertainment and I learn so much from you!
Good lord man! That elbow. Sounds like 10 tons of sand is a wheel bearing. OUCH!!!
I know it was busted but this distruction was hard to watch... oh the crunching!
Bay 2 going hot!!! Epic
9:00 - Monster Garage!
hotrodders like to use the vette front & rear suspension,so Derrick you might recover some of you cash that way
As always bravo! Unique tear down and so enjoyable to view / The Monte Carlo will be terrific.
I'm exited for the new build
