Dickey was a great person. To keep me out of trouble as a kid he let me work on his property one summer and at the end of the summer he gave me a 54 210 coupe and let me work on the weekends for parts. He showed me how to work on cars and how to floor pans in the car.

Some people see an old junkyard, but to others, its heaven on earth. RIP Tri 5 guy

Most mixed emotions episode I've seen yet, happy Dave got the call from Dickie's widow, but sad that Dickie is gone and the circumstances that took him from this world. Make him proud Dave. Problems aside, that square body is a sweet truck.

Shame about Dickie, he was cool. Awesome trip, but I will never understand why people choose wipers of all things to omit on project vehicles. They are 100% necessary

Dickie was my second cousin. Remember as a kid stopping by his shop on my way to my grandparents. Glad yall could help out.

The lesson I took away from this is "You shouldn't expect your heavily modified vehicle to perform flawlessly for a time critical mission"

Sounds like a epic road trip, I'm sure Dickie be smiling knowing his cars will be getting a new home and getting a second life

Dave should check out another KZfaq channel called “DD Speed Shop”. A young hot rodder in Manitoba, Canada. He loves tri-five Chevys. He isn’t into total restorations, but he has done lots of panel repairs. He has found a easier way to replace complete floor pans. He quite often updates the brakes and suspension. Makes them safe. He is currently working on a 57? Nomad. That one he is working on to more finished completion. He has done a lot of 4 dr to 2 dr conversions. He has run into the issue about what doors work on a wagon or Nomad. He also has done a ‘56 wagon. I’m not trying to promote his channel, but just wanted to share some information for Dave. Cheers from Northern Alberta Canada.

Old timers carry knowledge with them and share it. You better listen when they are ready to speak. They carry history and knowledge from times we can only dream of. That music was very fitting when they came into the yard. Had me in tears. Reminds me of an old timer I knew that I miss every day. There are still some great people out there if we would just get our of our phones and look up. Thank you for putting this episode together.

RIP Dickie.. So glad you guys where able to help save a few of these. Guys, I can't help but think of the question asked. "Do I look like Dickie?" That wealth of knowledge gone. I pray these new generation kids listen.

RIP Dickie. I have been by that yard countless times. Thank you for sharing the story of the place to those who have only passed by it on the highway.

Watching southern boys so in awe of an inch of snow and a snow brush is hilarious...

My initial reaction to the dually - "Thats a bad ass tow rig." My reaction to no heat, no wipers, and auto detach transmission - "Definitive room for improvement."

So much good stuff!!! We’re going back to pick our cars up SOON!!

When using a cummins, threadlock (Loctite 270 high strength!) and Nordlok washers are your friend

I am so happy you got to meet Dickie Lee. He was a great man - very knowledgeable about cars and understood people. Put together two cars with help of Mr. Jones, back in the early 90s. Wife's '57 station wagon and my '55 sedan. Big Spring was a regular haunt. Like hallowed ground for cars. If you need it for a tri-five, he pretty much would have had it. There used to be a picture of my '55 on his wall. His wife Linda was one of the more charming women I've ever met. Saddened when I heard of his passing. RIP Dickie Lee! The Fin Doctor has left the building.

Every trip you guys make is like a Griswold vacation!

Condolences to Dickie’s family and friends. It kind of makes me wonder what will happen to all my junk once I’m gone. Hopefully their will be someone who’ll save and enjoy it rather than sending it to the crusher.

R.I.P. Dickie Jones.... You were a car guys car guy... Keep on tri fiving in heaven big guy... Condolences to his family and friends....

they make this stuff called Loctite... It keeps your bolts from falling out. It's great on Harleys and diesel engines.... lol RIP Dickie.

That is the coolest dually I've ever seen WICKED! But wipers, and heat are a must.

I honestly shed a little tear for Dickie... but man what a cool brief relationship you guys struck up. I'm sure he's happy to know both what Newburn was able to do with his resurrected '57 and with this other stuff heading to some of the best car people around. Didn't know I needed a bit of a cry today but so be it.

The music choice throughout the entire video was absolutely perfect

Really emotional episode ❤️ the transition from roadkill road trip to the field of dreams killed me Sad day . But he’s gonna help so many other owners start , complete or maintain their cars x

Sad to hear you're gone, Dickie. Glad Finn and Dave got to meet you, and glad they're getting some of your iron back on the road. Can't take it with you when you go, but you can pass it along to some good buddies to give it some TLC. RIP.

I know you all will do Dicky proud and continue the legacy of those "Tri-fives". Good on ya'. Stay safe everyone 🤘😎

Some time in your life, you need to just throw caution to the wind. Load up in an old car/truck/hot rod and just go do "it" without thinking, planning or worrying about the logistics. Too many people live in a small bubble of the world scared by anything outside of their comfort zone. You get a call to go pick up 4 shoebox Chevys, you don't try to figure how to make it work, you just jump on it and think about it later. And I gotta add, Aaron is such a lucky guy, Emily is an absolute Babe but I'm sure he's already well aware of it lol.

My condolences to the bereaved, I despise drunk drivers, one cost my my career and retired me at 27years old I'm 53 and live in constant pain so I have zero tolerance for them. Now without fail you guys produce a show that's not only visually stunning the content has you so involved that i was also looking for loose bolts when the camera wss under the truck then you have me messing with my phone to get shazam grabbing something from the soundtrack. Guys and girls you knocked it out the park yet again, you really do take things up a notch quality wise. Thank you all so much for all your hard work, best wishes from Scotland.

As a European, seeing a truck and trailer combination like this always makes me laugh as I imagine it driving on our roads. It would comical to see one of those epic trucks and trailers try to deal with the tiny, twisty roads on this side of the Atlantic. I wish I owned that truck though, what an absolute beast! (Disclaimer: not hating on America, just laughing at the big differences between the US and Europe. Not better, not worse, different ways of achieving the same goal)

Man Dickie built some tri 5s I love that part when you showed all his memorabilia. That guy's must have had hands of gold. It really sucks he was taken too soon. Rest in peace. But this video was awesome. Aside from the loss there were some gains hope to see the 57s on another episode of fins garage and maybe FWF or even ROADKILL 👀

And the award for the best KZfaq channel soundtrack goes toooooooo....... Finnegans garage!!!

Rest In Peace Dickey. Was great to meet him through your channel. Such beautiful cars. Glad your all able to help save them! 57’s have been my dream cars since forever

It’s amazing what you forget when your project starts to take shape and you can’t wait to drive it. Lol. Been there. Done that. Hold my beer! Watch this.

Love that you guys rescued so many cool cars. Sorry to hear of Dickie's passing.

And this is why you always build with wipers and heater, because if the original smokey and the bandit taught us anything, its that it definitely rains between georgia and texas and you need warm air to de-fog the inside of a windshield, or if the rain turns solid... to defrost the inside of the windshield.

you can just imagine how many people stopped over the years and wanted to buy one of those cars and he said no,im going to get to that one someday!!you cant take them with you when you die and your leave a great estate sale or sometimes a headache for the family!!

I am so sorry to hear he passed away, but I am looking forward to seeing what you will do with the cars that y’all rescued.

So many mix emotions in this episode. May Dickie RIP. 🙏🏼

So many people would just see a yard full of scrap. Dicky is lucky to have known you, that can keep his dream alive. You guys are worth so much more than MotorTrend.

I’ll bet Dickie is very happy in heaven. Especially to know , some of his cars will get built . Car guys truly love these people. Saving parts and enjoying the hobby . It’s a way of life. RIP Dickie

If you start mixing bodys and frames just remember there's a VIN on each frame that matches the body. 😎🏁

As a northern guy ,heat and wipers are a must before you drive .

Damn, sitting here on night shift watching this at 2am got me all emotional. RIP Dickie, I know yall will do him and Texas proud.

Sad to hear another historian we have lost. BO JANGLE GARAGE is what we should call this channel. Another fabulous vid you guys, really enjoyed it and happy you were able to save some history from the scrap yard crusher.

What a bummer Dicky had to meet another idiot drunk driver. RIP Dicky 🙏 prayers for your family, and friends!

This totally had the vibe of a Roadkill episode.....Love that squarebody, but leaving on a roadtrip without wipers, heat or defrost?..... All the bolts shaking out suggests that driveshaft angles aren't right .... Will be a great tow rig eventually

The travel montages on Finnegan's Garage are the best on KZfaq. Usually you see twelve min of time lapse shot through the windshield. Here i see the things i'd be looking at if i was along for the ride. Nominate it for a Webby.

My heart dropped as soon as you said he passed away. 😢 So awesome that she called you guys.

Sad to hear, but what a great opportunity to remember and honor Dickie with those cars and getting them back on the road.

The episode with Dickie was great. Rip. Loveeee that wagon

"Bro, how sick would it be to road trip in a custom built tow rig that can lay frame? Cummins, stick shift, dually - it would be awesome AND reliable!" LOL, looked like a hell of a time guys!

The walk through the yard, the music, it really struck a cord. Reminded me of when I lost my old man. I grew up wanting all his junk. I didn't realize then, what I would have to lose to get those things. It wasnt a fair trade. See you on the other side old man.

Thank you Dickey. Be safe up there

You know trips like that you never forget. If nothing happened you'd forget about it in 6 months.

Y’all picked the perfect song for the arrival at Dickies yard to show the walk through as the sun was starting to set. You captured a lot of emotion there.

I forgot all about that El Camino I saw in the other video. I would love to have it.

Y'all are making me paranoid about any build I do in the future. Gonna keep Dave's "Lock washers are your friend" mantra in mind.

Yet another gearhead goes to the great hotrod shop in the sky glad that someone got this stuff that will use it put it back on the road were they belong good job Newburgh,Mike ,flysparks

Never thought I'd feel sad watching a junkyard video. Great tribute to Dickie guys

Wiper motor to horn power. Done. Still have mine like that. Thanks for the show.

Thank you Dickie for save all those cars. Rest in peace sir

I hope every car in that yard goes to someone who will remember the name Dickie Jones. What a treasure and I hope to leave half the collection he had

This video and all it's fine metal work makes my soul cry with happiness.

Just read the obituary and it’s sad to see this man leave us too soon. I’d like to thank you for sharing the videos of his cars and especially him because he lived his dream to do what he wanted.

First time one of these shows has actually made me sad... RIP Dickey

Godspeed Dickie bless you for saving all those old 57 Chevy‘s Stoked you got the call to save some more really dig the wagon and 55

Not because Finnegan’s absence, but surely one of the coolest episodes. Congrats on the great haul!

Damn, poor Dickie, RIP. What a road trip, thanks for the video Dave and Fin!

Sitting in Colorado laughing at the reaction to all that snow.

I worked a fleet of 50 cummins powered equipment mostly pickups and never had this much hardware missing. I'd tend to put blame on the builders.

That four-door Nomad is 🔥 fire. My favorite 😍. RIP Mr. Dickey sir. GODSPEED.

When you got out by Abilene it made me smile, I lived there for 4 years and loved it.

Awesome episode!!! Sad episode as well. RIP Dickie!!! OMG how did you guys drive like that????? I thought I recognized that voice...Hey Emily!!

You should use your FSM Mastercard for all that fuel lol. 10% crash back.

such a bitter sweet video you all get to buy some good cars but an amazing men has left this world

The snow did make cool colours on the truck 🤣🤣🤣. Big effort we’ll done 😎👍

Also, medium strength Loctite is your friend. Ask Harley owners, they know.

haha I'm willing to bet the bolts shrunk and backed out from the sudden cold. glad you guys are alright and got your cars

When your shooting a roadkill style episode while your boss is actually shooting a roadkill episode

Reminds me of roadkill with all the truck problems

i hope they put the person that killed Dicky in jail and throw way the key!!!!!!!

RIP Dicky. Hope that drunk driver will be in jail his or her whole life.

It sucks that that old timer Dickie is gone, but it's also kinda a positive thing.. old dude was perfectly willing to let those amazing cars rot into the ground rather than part with them. Such is life I suppose, change is the only constant.

Great hardship road trip. thank you for saving the tri 5s. This is what we all endure for our love of old iron.

Rip man but glad to see some cars living on Again

Have you thought of doing a ghost long roof estate similar to a Buick Cabelaro estate, on a 57 sport 4 door. Caused reckon it'll blow people's mind on the hot rod scenes.

Newbern is a very likable guy. Fun to see an episode that is all his.

So much fun with watch! I look forward to seeing the various cars being "re-configured", and especially seeing how the wagon turns out. I love those things......

dude you cant leave me hangin like this, Did you make it home in time?

Always look forward to the new content

Glad you saved the cars and made it home, great show.🚗🚗🚗👍👍👍😊

So sad to hear of Dickies passing, but thankful the cars are going to good homes. Wish I could rescue a few. You guys broke down 2 miles from my house when the compressor went out. Wish I could have brought you one.

My Grandfather died at 93 because of a drunk with 3 DUI's, He was a WWI vet. I agree, If you drink and drive. YOU SUCK!!!

My condolences goes to family of Mr.Dickies great man didn't deserve to die by a stupid drunk driver & what hot rod rescue treasures those Tri-5s are blue wagon is good shape plus a saw 64 Elcamino in salavge yard aswell.

We bought a Nomad from Dickie a few years ago. Love it even more now. He was a great guy. I figured this was the honey pot of Chevys y’all mentioned. I believe he is proud y’all are able to use what he cherished

From the prior episode Dickie was a great guy!! Condolences to the family. On the Finnegan / Newbern side of things their luck (negative and positive) continues to entertain. Tough circumstances

I'm so jealous but this! My dream car is a 57. RIP Dickie!

WELCOME BACK TO FINNEGANS GARAGE!!!!

More trips like this! I miss doing this stuff with my Dad decades ago. RIP Dickie

MAN!!! i remember watching road kill and mikes videos on hear in highschool! i remember watching and admiring all his tools that i didnt have! NOW! things are different but mannnn do these videos bring me back memmories !
