- The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle "rocky" is back! The chevy gets Interior upgrades, a good cleaning, and even "BRAKE" repair. After all that goodness, we attempt to take it for a rip down to a car show and show off the new shine. Will we make it there and back...?

“There’s 50 years of bad choices in that seat crack....” 🤣
Smelt, poor.
Best line ever
That cloud of dust was so epic it deserves a wikipedia page.
Ooo a pencil!
Omg I was cracking up!!! I needed that!!!!
"Well I'll be DIPPED!" one of my favorite ways to start a weekend
Thanks bud
My dad used to say that. But he'd finish with "in sh$t!"
I could definitely drink a beer with this guy. Then the right thing to do would be to work on something. But we're not gonna do that. We're gonna drink 6 more while talking about what we should be working on. Then we'll just keep drinkin' till one of us loses a battle with gravity.
It's like you've just wrote a story about my life.
My kind of mechanic! After a while I can't remember what needed fixing.
Your hot punch trick for making a perfect hole in the carpet will forever change my life. How did I never think of this?!?
I think I might like your show better than Roadkill at this point. Can't wait to see how this Chevelle turns out. The 68-69 body style has always been my favorite.
yeah and zillion years of parts interchange, I say swap in a LS motor with a manifold on it and do away with the PC
//www.hotrod.com/articles/budget-chevelle-ls-engine-swap/
Yep hear that David ! have had half a dozen 68's... got a thing for them skinny taillights ! and so sexy with them big hips !
@@gertraba4484 an LS really? Only every other car has an LS now. And they look like dog snot with that ugly plastic manifold or worse when guys leave the plastic cover on. Keep it era correct 350 or 396. Awesome car I'd love to find one in decent driving condition like this one.
@@veteranheavyequipmechanic4990 i very much agree !!!!!!!!!!! i wonder if it has the 350 or 596 or what....... & what gear runner is in it.......
It's like Finnegan and Red Green had a baby
Thanks for taking the time to make these vids. Your humor is spot on. The projects are just a bonus catalyst.
Thank you, really appreciate it `
@@ViceGripGarage chek under front seat for the build sheet, or under dash near glove box..looks like they were recoverd
Love seeing Rocky again----a diamond in the rust!
haha.. I like that
He is a great mechanic and takes the English language to new levels! Some network is missing a sure bet for a hit series here.
That interior is amazing. That car is in reality worth it's weight in gold!
She wasn't bad at all to ride in!
“They sound like Betty Whites back” 😂😂😂
drier than...
He needs a show on prime time on a major network. I watch these 4 or 5 times and laugh harder each time.
Thank you!!!!
Well we now know what goes on during the six months of winter up there, they rebuild classic cars. Perfect
haha.. use the term "rebuild" lightly
Surely you have the most patient, loving wife to let you drag home these heaps (rust buckets?) To wrench on. You are blessed my friend.
Holy cow!!!! I love this "Guy's" super laid back attitude towards wrenching on stuff. Never seen him even close to angry. Kudos!
thanks for watching Mike
The worse part about watching you is I begin to think I can do what you do....Seven hours later trying to change brake pads...You the man Keep it up enjoy watching you.
oven cleaner does remove paint. my boss taught me that. he told me one day "go spray this on the door of that truck and wait 1 minute then wipe it off" i asked him why and he told me it was to remove the lettering off the door. it worked very well and the paint wiped right off. i never forgot that trick and i also used it on my home carpet when my exgf spilled paint on the floor. the oven cleaner removed the paint from the carpet after a few sprays and soak ups, shop-vac
“Betty White’s back!” Love it. I feel like I’m back in Papa’s garage. You’d have loved him.
❤❤👌
I have bittersweet memories of '69 Chevelles. I was one month away from full possession of my parents SS 396 - but my sister wrapped it around a tree. She just got bruised a little but that old Chevy was fatalized.
Absolutely beautiful car - Mulsanne blue with white interior. Got a lot of headaches from it too - and when my dad would get one side of the exhaust fixed, the other side would leak.
"There's 50 years of bad choices in that seat crack", LMAO! Awesome video, thanks dude.
Thanks for watching Mark
Been flowing for almost 2 years now, love going back watching the old videos from b4 I was following!
I actually have zero interest in cars, but I must have watched about ten of these VGG shows and loved every one, great work! All the best from Brisbane. 🇦🇺
Removing rear bottom seat is usually best done by laying down on the floor with your back against the back of the front seat bottom, then pushing in on the seat bottom in question until it clears the typical hook. This applies to most American made vehicles, but check for a hold-down bolt under a loose flap of carpeting.
I work all day at a car wash thanks for reminding me that cars are more than blobs to keep bugs and pollen off of
You bet buddy, glad you enjoy the content!
For carpet install I heat up hollow punches to make the holes by grabbing a hollow punch slightly bigger then the bolt @ViceGripGarage
Just found you a month ago and I am binge-watching every episode! Love your channel. I thumb up every one. I can't understand how any of these videos have even one thumb down... just mind bottling.
Another great video - nobody does cars and comedy better. Love the Chevelle - a guy could watch your videos on this car all day long.
Thank you friend!
Junkyard Digs + Vice Grip Garage team up video would be epic!!!!
You're like the Red Green for cars, Great stuff, thanks.
Spoken like a true Canadian!
Love the flags back there brother!
🐱👤✔
Going through the older clips here and I want to thank you for the bolt hole tip.
There's a guy always talking in 23rd person...
Derek, Mr VGG, your skills are 2nd to none, shine up AND fix on cars nobody wanted, I have very minor mechanical skills but none on how to fix those extreme rusted out 'chines, I want to thank you for learning me stuff and entertaining me at the same time, pretty dang good skills!!!
I love your terminology and thank goodness someone else has an emergency toolkit . With a hammer vicegrips and a screwdriver nearly anything can be done
Tie wire and duct tape, and you'll never have to walk home again!!!
thats the kinda humor thats under appreciated!
I'm doing some of the same half-assery on a 57 Bel Air and a 67 Camaro. I appreciate the genius.
Thanks for watching Daxton
the dukes of hazzard entrance montage is my all time favorite VGG segment. so glad i'm not the only guy who's done that...
also. the hantavirus backseat "50 years of bad choices" / betty white's back - section is amazing. laughed hard at that.
"Come and Take It" and "Don't Tread On Me" Gadsen Flag mean...THIS IS MY KIND OF GUY :)
As a total car geek, I want to thank my parents for moving me, at the age of 11, to Canada's West Coast, the Land of No Road Salt. Derek, I feel your pain looking at the rust in that beautiful old Chevelle. But on the bright side, nice old, unrestored Chevelles have all been snapped up in these parts, so only rust-buckets like yours are available.
Wow, excellent work around finding seat bolt locations! Never would have thought of that!
Thank you
You really made my day because you're a king of comedy as an auto mechanic . You freaking rule !
Going to be a good start for a Friday night .
Being able to watch car videos without all the profanity with my 8 year old son is priceless. And to my surprise my wife and daughter who have zero intrest in car stuff watch and listen also. Thank you Sir for your time, knowledge and humor. Keep buying battrees and sparkulators to fix these guys up.
50 years of bad choices in that crack! Best line yet!
There is further beauty in your hot method of locating the seat bolt holes, in that (with loop-style carpeting) it drastically reduces any chance of pulling a fiber and causing a run. This is especially true when trying to power-drive sheet-metal screws. This applies especially to customers cars. Don't ask me how i know.
"These keys are inconvenient, but they do work nice." Great stuff, man. Keep it up!
Thank you
Nice plug for Junkyard Digs wearing his shirt!
Great channel! He's helped me a lot.
Great delivery and comedic timing man, way to go! You NEED to be on Motortrend channel!
Thank you!!!
Your videos are magic, pal. Please take care of those lungs, you'll thank a guy for it. Andrew, Scotland.
By far my favorite TH-cam channel! The car show looked like fun. I need to get out to some shows this year.
Please do! Support the culture my friend
This is my new favorite channel. A guy could sit back with a six pack of cold snacks and binge watch for a day or ten.
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into all these video's Derrick, That's just great!
🌯I had a 68 chevelle SS 396. Boy wish I still had that. Next was a Pontiac firebird formula 400 boy wish I still had that. Took my drivers test in a 68 charger belonged to my parents boy wish I had that. Don’t yell at me I’m in my 60’s and didn’t know any better back then.
OMG! "So dry they sound like Betty Whites back." Dammit, made me laugh so hard I shot my beer out my nose; and that stuff hurts.
Hahaha 🤪
A feller is just great the way he is! A bigger budget does not make better, Derrick has proven that!❤
How can you not love this guy! And congratulations on 40000 plus subscribers. Proud of you!
A year later, and now a guy's got 316k subscribers!
February 2021, 645,000 subscribers. Hell of a ride!
735k now.
Man I love that black Silverado! What a beaut.
She was mint!
Just got my VGG hat in the mail. Thanks for great stuff man!!
Thanks for the support!
The expanding foam is a nice touch a lot more legal like than street signs.
Sound deadener as well who knew
Look forward to more “Rocky” videos, I like how you get in em and drive em!! Great stuff!!
Was my favourite car as a kid the 69 early 70’s Chevelle.
Cool, I had a 72 SS 350 Chevelle that I restored back about 25 years ago, I miss her.
Another awesome video thank you made me laugh on a crappy night thank you, hell this video did more for me than the er doctors could lol you are a one of a kind good luck on the power tour and safe travels
Thank you Darrick
You are the most unflappable guy I have had the pleasure of watching. I enjoy your style of wrenching on seemingly dead in the water projects. Continued success to you and your search for the perfect junker. I am now a fan from Connecticut.
I absolutely love this stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Great video bud! A trick for dried out seats is lube them up then put them in plastic bags in the sun. It'll suck up all the oil.
I'll have to try that out
My '65 Mustang has some of that fancy weight reduction stuff as well.
Derek, I wanted to leave you a lovely quote from another Minneapolis ikon...Looks like you've made it after all! I'm not sure I put this on the rite page so here it is again with heart, buddy! Congrats on over 60,000 subscribers!
P.S. Derek, do recognize this quote?
Thanks Darren!
just finished watching this video after watching the one where you made the 500 mile drive home, awesome stuff bro, one of the best channels on tube! I was surprised there was no build sheet in the back seat, someone been in there before you? keep on rockin!
Could be on inside or front fender or on top of fuel tank depended on plant
That flex fuel Pontiac 😎🏁 shout outs from Canada , southern Ontario !!!!!
Was feeling uneasy about the rust I found on my project car, the Chevelle here makes me sleep easy lol
Facts, i found a rustered out rocker panel on a car of mine, its the only major rust, not even worried anymore... lol
my astro says rust on brother
I agree.VGG is awesome and deserves there own show with a really nice budget and crew. It’s inevitable and the first one to do it is definitely going to be the winner.
Hot cauliflower and meat loaf is the exact description I would have used.
I love this old intro. Jessica's face , well it's looks like she got caught rolling a leftey😂❤
"What I always do is rent them and never turn them back in so.. A guy always has tools that he needs " Haha this guys a beauty! Lol 😆
I'm watching this in August 2020, I want you to be extraordinarily careful going through the city!!! I don't know the gun laws in your state, so keep your head on a swivel!!! You and your family have a LOT of fans!!!
Great video as always! Can always count on you for a hearty laugh! Love the guitar riffs as well!
Thanks!
Factree for sure. Who needs a whole new brake line when a guy can just splice her up. I think a 427 would do nicely for Rocky. That engine would sure eat. Keep up the great videos, Derek.
Would be awesome!!
I love the automotive terms. They sound very accurate. LOL
haha.. Thanks Damien
I liked how you Daisy-Duked right through that window. Epic.
when I'm not at the shop I jack up all 4 corners and put a block under each tire,gives me a ton of room,it's safe
A block of what? Hopefully not a cinder block
@@superduty4556 lol that's what i was thinking
The man just pushed a car to the side from its side..some serious strength
Nothing better then seeing this on my notifications
Awesome video!!! Love that Junkyard Digs t-shirt too.
Driver door panel was my build sheet 70 SS Chevelle.
All my 68's had themon the rear seat upright... passenger side
Vice grip guy will drive anything home.
Lol this guy is my spirit animal I swear
I really can’t get enough. I have an old car just pulled it out of the garage after months of building it the wrong way. My wife says your not driving that thing out of the garage. I said your right I won’t. I drove that thing the next day when she wasn’t around ran great no brakes no license no insurance a dealer tag from 1974 but the 8 track works like a charm!!
Its the little Victories
You went full fine dining with that interior!
Turned out pretty snazzy
Finally a channel worth my time
thank you Joel
"I'll be dipped" my favorite quote
My Dad always said that (MN). Said sheep dip too.
I just wanted to say you have the most awesome personality and your videos are a hoot to watch. You have me laughing and I like watching you getting them cars going with the "Whats a guy do" and " trans shifts 4 hours late" and a lot of your other funny quotes. lmfao.
Excellent great video as always oven cleaner done well. Looked almost factory then was better than new with the air fresheners. Keep them videos coming weekly minimum please.
I've used old soldering irons to burn holes the same way for grill cloth on antique radios. Works great.
"50 years of bad choices".....😂😂 LMAO! Interior turned out half decent!! Bet it smells better in there! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the road trip!
Not so much mice now, a little bit better
I saw one detailer that after spraying the seats down, placed some cheap plastic around the seats to help sweat the conditioner into the seats. Thanks for making the videos
Nice come and take it flag. You must be a Texan at heart
He might like the rust-free cars you get here. Although they'd have fewer speed holes.
Lufkin Texas here!
Austin TX here
East Texas checkin in
Thanks for the hole in the carpet trick 👍
You bet!
Kool video, yeah just like Betty White she never looked and sounded so good. That watcha macallit dohicke trick on the rug my grandpa showed me some time ago, I think...I be looking your way again soon....... keep making noise....JRC
Fun content and educational, too! That old girl shined up better than I expected it would. Peace-out!
I used a soldering iron to make that perfect hole in the carpets.
i miss the days of these kind of videos still love the channel, just its different now so i watch the older videos
