The greatest thing I love about your channel is that you love working with the kids. You a great dad. Keep up the great job

Little dude’s mullet game is at a pro level!

Those boys are gonna be excellent mechanics one day. Man what a cool thing you’re doing by teaching them useful skills.

i'm 75 y.o. now, but you took me back to when i was a boy, and also had someone that cared about me, as your boys do.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻it made my eyes water when you presented the car to your Son....especially the hug.....hoofta-mae the hug really hit me hard!

Brought a tear to my eye when he hugged you. Now that’s what it’s all about brother. He will never forget that.

You’re a good father, Derek. And you’re teaching us youngins that don’t have kids yet how to be a good dad too. I appreciate you my guy.

What a great episode. Your kids are lucky to have both of you as their parents. The look you got when you tossed his hair around towards the end says it all. You continue to be an inspiration to us on several levels. Keep up the great work.

Your littlest human is such a good helper. My boy is 2, I hope to build a car with him one day!

This old guy has to admit the entire video was great but the last 10 minutes when Bailey came into the shop from that point on got me right in the feels…. VGG you did it again

You're not just a great Dad. You're a great human passing life skills onto your small humans!

I love this episode because just like most people have said, you are a wonderful father and it tickles me watching you teach your children just like my father did. One day I would be honored to shake you hand and thank you for the things you have do for us Veterans. 🇺🇸 . You really helped me through dark times over the last few years. Thank you so much for being you. Robert G Solomon USAF retired

This is amazing!! Great mechanic and even better dad! This is what I strive for with me and my son. Hey we have the same name and even spell it the same! Gotta be a good sign!! This is his account, he wants to be a KZfaqr at 7 years old! God bless you and your family Derek!!

America needs more Dads like VGG! Keep up the good work Derek the long videos are awesome!

I keep saying this, but you are the coolest dad! I lost my dad 2 years ago, the love in your eyes says it all!

the ending brought a lil tear to my eye. I sure remember when my dad gave me the first car we ever built together like it was yesterday and not 32 years ago. Wonderful Derek ! you are blessed

Awesome dad, your a solid guy Derek, not one video I’ve seen of yours is a fake. Not only are you great with cars, but your success comes from your heart and it shows. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

That hug from your son made the the whole project worthwhile,brought a tear to my eye..keep on keeping on...

It just can't get any better than this. Thanks for letting us, total strangers, be part of a slice of your life, and for showing us what it is supposed to be about. 100/100.

You can really tell by the way that it is that Derek is a damn good dad. Hats off to you, your boys will cherish the days they got to spend with you

By the way watching you 2 guys work together remind me of my childhood my dad was a shade tree I was under every car he was taking wrenches from him every chance I got unless it was something dangerou with with high pressure springs he never took a tool back from even when I was doing it wrong he would stop me and walk me through it properly memories that me nor that young man will ever forget

Killer job, Mister B. I bet you made that 12 year old's whole year, Pop. I gotta be honest, the 'thank you Daddy' hug made this feller's eye water a little. It's so cool seeing the whole family out cruising a couple ponies. Y'all are my favorites! Take care, sir.

What a great episode! The world would be a MUCH better place if everyone had parents like the two of you. God Bless you Derek and Jessica!

This is what every kid/teenager and young adult dreams off who is a petrol head. Ur son can be SO happy to have a dad like u! Ur an amazing father and he will always remember this and remember every time he worked with u on cars! Im sure he will be doing the same with his own kids!

I was blessed with 2 daughters. My oldest and I are restoring a sq body 4wd with a LS right now. We took a road trip together about 3hrs from home and brought her home and been a frame off build thus far. She has been busy with getting ready for college but it will be her truck when I expire. And will start another build for my youngest daughter when done.

Such an amazing dad. The amount of respect your boy has for you is unreal.

Bentley is such a sweet sweet boy. Looks like he's absolutely in love with working with his dad. How many kids are so willing to work with o a car that is going to be given to his brother. Looks like the time spent with dad is everything to him no matter what dad is doing. Brings a tear to my eyes but a smile to my face.

It's so awesome to see you teaching the youngsters about cars and getting there hands dirty

Fantastic job there, good to see you including Bentley and Brad in the build/swap. Bailey is such a lucky guy and he really appreciated it too! You are great role models and of course I loved the 'mustang guys ' comment! 😊👍

I think this is maybe the best VGG episode to date. Talk about tugging on a guys heart strings, a guys windshield washers were working overtime for this one. Derek, you are an absolute treasure for your sons. If the world only had more guys and dads like you it would surely be a better place. A guy never grew up with a dad and this made me cry like a leaky thermostat housin. Thank you sincerely for sharing your story with us as well as showing us what a real dad is. Take care now, a guys gotta find the kleenex

Derek, you have one of the most awesome channels out there today. I love how you often include your family in your work. With parents like you and Jessica, your boys are some of the luckiest kids on earth. Just imagine the stories they will be able to tell and memories they'll share when they get to be our age. Thanks so much for sharing and God bless you all!

Priceless moments working with his dad on cars, he will never forget. I'm 55 and I remember doing the same with my dad 43 years ago. Best day's of my life.

I believe the description of a cherry picker is “device used to test the tensile strength of everything you forgot to unhook”

My favorite thing about your channel (other than your hilarious play-by-play commentary) is the fact that you use beat up but real vehicles. You remind us that everyday people can do this kind of thing and you don't have to be a multi-millionaire to work on some classic cars that deserve a new lease on life. The fact that you do so many things with your family shows that they are the reason to do the work, not what gets in the way of it. Top notch video!

Actually shed a tear when the hug came after the you gave your son the car. I love that you are such great parents and teaching your sons not only how to wrench but respecting family values and loving the family time along the way. It goes by way to fast. I miss my sons being younger so much. Enjoy every second. Thank you for the years of entertainment.

You boy'z have an amazing dad and how many mom's cruise down the road like that. This is awesome family. You guys are great. Love the video's especially when all the family members make an appearance. 2 👍 👍 up.

This video hits home for me. My Dad and I are slowly restoring the 69 camaro he bought when he was 20.

It makes my Friday evening when a VGG episode hits !! Thanks for all you and your family do to provide entertainment for us !

I helped a childhood friend work on his 69 Camaro years ago. Good memories. You’re a great father and your kids are lucky to have you!

Been watching your channel for a good while ever since my 73 year old mother introduced me to it. She's not even a car person but just enjoys your personality. I'm a fellow Tennessean and I'm glad you decided to join us down here. You're a great dad! I'm sure your boy loves this car. Thanks for what you do!

I think I got somethin' in my eyes at the end of this episode. I don't have any kids of my own, and it's sure nice to see a Dad being a good Dad to his kids. The world needs more of that.

I love the family content. I think it’s awesome what you do for your boys!!

You are the best derek.. Your kids can consider themselves lucky with parrents like this ❤

You are simply "GREAT"! And i ait kiddn you! Your son will NEVER forget this!

We all see what we want to see. Any dad enjoying his kids is a great example for all of us. Derick, THANK YOU! The world is a better place with the examples you try to show. Much love from Canada.

It’s cool to see Bailey in this episode! I have a feeling he’s the most camera shy of the kids and it’s awesome to see him being part of the action with his new ride. What a great dad. You’re truly blessed man, I haven’t had any children yet but will keep trying.

That's awesome I'll bet he loved getting that car I always wanted to do that for my son couldnt afford it for the 16th birthday fingers crossed by graduation. Good to see the next generation getting into classics and keeping them alive

I absolutely love this show. He's a great family man.

Incredible memories being made. Those youngsters will have them for the rest of their lives. What a blessing.

Got the whole crew helping. Oh the memories this brings back.

Derek I LOVE your show and what you do! You are the Stevie Ray Vaughan of auto mechanics!

Derek this is great. Your family is so lucky to have you, more so, you’re so lucky to have them. The relationship you have with your wife and kids is something most of us can dream about and hope for. To both you and Jessica, thank you for doing what you do and being rock solid role models for your kids and all of us fans that look up to you. Keep up the good work.

My husband and I watch your videos with our almost 3 year son who loves watching the cars in your intro. All 3 of us are cooped up in our house sick with Covid and seeing a new VGG video makes being sick a little better. Thank you for all the great content you make! We greatly appreciate everything you do.

This is gonna be emotional to watch in the future

So glad to see the young ones in the shop!! I hope they understand how lucky they are....if not, maybe later. Love the channel!!!

Man watching these videos with your boys helping you out hits me right in the heart. Brings back memories of old times of being my dads shadow wanting to do or help with whatever he was working on. Sadly he’s not with us anymore but the memories sure are.

My two favorite KZfaq car guys are you and Sleeperdude. You both value the time spent with your family and kids above all else. It’s so refreshing to see in todays world. Bailey will never forget this day and the time spent with you and his brothers working on his Camaro. God bless. 🙏

We are watching this probably 2 weeks too late. We watch your channel every chance we get. Thank you for being a good dad and family man 😊

That lil 283 sounded fantastic ❤😊. Love the hug n family time.

Such an awesome Dad. That is a gift he will always remember.

Derek you are such a cool Dad. You're family is such a great part of what you do, I'm so glad you included them in all you do. These are the precious times.

Its always too late for the boys, and yet the last job is cleaning up together. Thats probably the most educating thing here... love it!

I'm glad to see someone working with their kids and making responsible young men out of them good job there

Great video as always, tears in the old peepers from the moment Bailey walked in the workshop, then totally lost it when you guys hugged. The best bit about you and your family is even with all the fame, you guys have still stayed so humble and still have the same core values.

The thing I love about VGG and Derek is the family atmosphere and the humor Derek adds to the commentary on the builds. Im constantly catching myself at work saying “Well I’ll be dipped”! I’m a 34 year old Army Veteran and former police officer with 3 kids (2 boys 1 girl). Derek, you have no idea what this channel means to me. I have always loved working on cars and trucks. I have spent countless nights watching you rescue these classics and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting these videos. They have become part of my daily life. What you are doing is exactly what I want to do with my family. I want to find an old rusty classic and get er back on the road again with the help of my wife and kids. Something we can make memories doing and someday be my kids 1st car. Keep the videos coming and keep those boys in the shop! I know they will cherish the memories working with their dad just like i do working with my dad. Best channel on KZfaq and best restoration show on TV or the interwebs HANDS DOWN!

Your boys are so lucky to have such an awesome dad like you, Derek. Keep up the great work, man.

Derek that's one hell of a pit crew you have there & made the job all the worth while to see your pride & joy smiling ear to ear 👍❤️

When a guys son gave him a hug and I saw your face, I have to admit it put a lump in my throat. Great job!!

That thank you hug from Bailey choked a feller up a little. Great job Dad!

Honestly wish my dad would've been as mechanically involved as you are, as I am one of the few oldie car lover and would love to do this kinda stuff! Keep it up, best bond you could have with your young ones! They grow up quick!!

Thanks to everyone who's served our country to make our lifestyles possible and thanks Derek for the content and showing us how to raise a family right! Semper Fidelis.

Had a 1992 camaro RS, 25th anv. My son always wanted it, it sat at my sisters about 10-15 years after the transmission mount tore out for the 4th time. All the body panels where virtually spotless for rust, however after sitting that long the tires dry rotted, and the subframe under the driver pedals sat directly on the sand. Yep sand would get wet, and ate right through the subframe. Sold it as a parts car, as my son was 15 he was devastated he didn't get it. Had to explain that car would never be able to see the road with that frame ever again. Sure wish I could have gave it to him before he joined the Marine Corps, like father like son. Semper Fidelis! Great content Derek!

Love the way you hang out in the workshop with your boys - lifetime of memories!

Love to see you keeping the boys involved. Looks like they're learning quickly. Keep it up!

I remember watching that Video about a year after you posted it. I’m currently building a 3rd gen Camaro with my son. It’s great your doing this for him. Keep it up 👍🏻

Your channel is truly an antidote to a crappy day! Watching the laid back way you approach these projects, your knowledge and skill, your sense of humor and catchphrases….and above all what a great husband and father you are, is good for my head! Keep up the good work!!!

Love that your teaching the boys. That's exactly what I did with my boys, now they work on thier own cars and trucks. It's very rewarding. 👍

Besides the entertainment and knowledge, the thing I love about your channel is the obvious love of this family! It's so great to see you and Jessica raising these boys this way. Great Parents, great kids, and a Great channel! Really hits a feller right in the feels. Keep up the good work.

My dad was a diesel/auto mechanic. I've ducked flying ladders and whirling wrenches and learned words I had no idea most of my young life. Needless to say I didn't stick around to learn much. Like Matthew King below and many others... I also really appreciate how much you love life and how well you do with your kids. You're a true badass.

Derek, you have taught me so much. You really have a special way of teaching an old wrench turner/auto parts guy/ tool guy some kool tricks and lessons. Thank You

one of my favorite episodes so far. working with your kids is alot of fun and teaches them things they need to know. I let my 6 year old replace the front brakes on our car, i broke things loose for him and he took it all apart and put it back together. When i have to work on one he is always right there with a wrench.

This is my favorite show. I just don't get tired of watching Derek tinker with cars. Sometimes I even learn something.

Derek your a good man and I love how you have your boys help you on these projects. These will be memories they'll remember for the rest of their lives, not to mention it teaches them so mechanical skills as well. Keep up the good work brother.

Not every child gets good parents so this is so heartwarming. I love both of those cars. Small block V8s with 4 speeds are so cool.

That look you gave to camera when he hugged you spoke VOLUMES!💙🙏🏻

Like everyone else has said it is just so wonderful to see every time you include your boys. Some of my most cherished memories are of working on cars, snowmobiles or anything else with my dad. Even carpentry projects. Looking forward to making more with him as snowmobile season creeps up on us. Thanks so much for being transparent with your family and love. So many families are missing these qualities today. Thanks for the video.

We need more people like you Derek !!!! Your sons face lit up seeing the car !!!! My hat is off to you sir, keep up the good work and making amazing memories with your family 🤙🏼

You could be a writer of a song that spells out the demise of evening television. Your shows are lacking drama, very educational and draw us all in. No matter the length, we are glued!……………………………

You're a cool dad! These are the moments the boys will remember years after you are gone and the stories they'll tell their kids!

Building cars and making memories with your kids wow you are one lucky man !! thank you for letting us come along for the ride and of course the fact you have a wonderful supportive wife who is there to share those memories as well is fantastic, look after your mum and dad kids you have a good pair for sure . cheers

Derek, you are one awesome Dad. The time you spend with all your kids is something that they'll carry with them the rest of their lives. And Jessica, you're such a great supportive Mom. You've got a beautiful family. 👍😁❤️

One of my all time favorite episodes. Takes me back to wrenching with my ole man. Dang. Is some one slicing onions? 😅

Cool - a Vice Grip Garage video that’s a good 75 minutes long to watch on a Friday night! Gonna grab me a beer… or 4

Great work you're doin with the boys. Love to see them learning and enjoying it all.

It's so good to see quality fathers. Especially ones who understand how to do a top notch Craigslist rebuild on an engine.

What a great project. Your son will never forget this !! You sure have a nice family.

since my dad was never around and when I finally met him it was a total disappointment , It fills me with joy to see the relationship you have with your family, really nice

It is amazing to see the evolution of this channel - one of my favorites for sure. Also seeing your boys grow up is great. The look on your face when your son saw the car kinda choked a guy up. Derek, you have put a tremendous amount of work into this channel and deserve all the success. And you still play a mean shop vac hose!!!

What an awesome dad you are. Building great forever memories! Love ya man, Mery Christmas!

Gotta admit, I may have teared up a little bit when he gave you that big ol' hug! Love it
