@@432b86ed likewise. One thing that watching Derek & family does that constantly amazes me, is show that there's actually more commonly-decent, nice folks out there. In today's world that's a great thing.

may god bless you.

Get well soon

Thank you for the kind comments!

This guy represents America.

He sure does!

@@ViceGripGarage You need to do a sit down Thursday story hour!

@@ViceGripGarage I'm dumb too and have a Scirocco.. And another in the yard.. 43 and a 58 Allis Chalmers and mire projects that the wife "ABSOLUTELY" LOVES... ;)

Sounds like his dad!

My favourite bit

My brother in law has a 77 trans am hes been working on for years while going blind I've offered to help multiple times but I think it's more important for him to do it on his own just to prove he can

I too want thank Derrick for constantly reminding me of my idiotic decision to work on my own cars! My ineptitude is only exceeded by my ignorance of all things mechanical beyond an oil change. May Derrick continue to help my bruised ego sink, and may God have mercy on my soul. In Jesus name, Amen!

I got a chill reading that man. Good for you, keep on keeping on.

That's awesome!!

Y'all check out Harmless Farmer here on KZfaq. He shows that one should not let a disability stop you. I won't tell you his search his name and just watch one of his videos!!! Truly an inspiration and makes you thankful for what you can do and that you should Not let anything get you down.

That one was pretty good🤣🤣🤣

His “sons” had that comedic timing as well. It’s in their blood

The snake dude!

What if.... modernize it. 4 spd automatic. Stock rebuild or whatever it needs. Lo $. Needs an AC kit for a goin to town rig.

The wot field trip with Bentley on board is priceless.

Brother I pray your sight comes back and you can live your life how you want. But God loves us and allows us to go thru different levels in our life for a much greater purpose. You are my brother in Christ and I love you brother and will pray that our heavenly Father restored your vision or gives you more inhumanly ability then ever

Or just derrick your awsome❤😊

🤣😂 best quote of the show yet. Needs to be on a T shirt!

Nice then honest. "there's a stick in there" 😂

Bentley described almost every truck I've owned for the last 45 years .

One more vote for the T with this on it. It'll print money for a guy. Heck I wanna buy it and I never buy this sort of stuff.

Bentley has been influenced by a guy I think... there's a 99.86% chance that he's a chip off the old block kind of a deal I think.

I have the same opinion. These videos just give you faith in humanity revived feeling.

Could not agree with you more.

Appreciate the kind words Gary

You said way too much. Perfect. My feelings exactly. Single handedly restoring my faith in the youth of America (the little humans), the guys that are a little younger than me (Derek) and the ladies who love them (Jessica).

It's his goofiness and self deprecating humor coupled with REALLY knowing his stuff!!

I don’t know 😊

Lol

Yeah that made me laugh too I got a kick out of that

True story

Definitely. Most of my fond memories from childhood were wrenching on junk, hauling firewood or chasing the next project with my dad

Adam, well said.

This truck inst that bad dad, Except for all the stuff wrong with it! Eternal optimist just like Dad! Chip off the ol block!

Soak up all the moments you can with your little one, time with them goes so fast.

@@normenderle550 ain't that the truth, they will be back talking an wanting all your money soon enough lol. But all jokes aside appreciate every minute of it.

Those little humans are what life is about. Congrats!

That's not how tetanus works.

tetnuts ? taunus, tetracloride ? tuetils ?

Lol tetAnus

@Steph Cooper; Agree with Your assessment for many of the young folks these days in school, that need such a fellow to give them a spark, infusion, 'thunder n lightnin', positive jokes and such in the 'shop'. My shop teachers were excellent during our time and taught us excellent basics, ideas, principles, including requirements of safety, proper use of tools, etc. Your comment about 'tetanus shot' update is a common concern for some, but as the correct information and knowledge becomes known, another part of the falsehood inDOCtrination and propaganda We all have been given, 'fed', forced or otherwise, then leads to improper digestion and indigestion. In any case, the tools and situations Derek is working with don't result in such issues anyway. Thus it is best to stay away from the Allopathy/Pharmaceutical synthetic medications and more so their false 'vaccinations' [they have no actual proof of benefits, but they do have massive evidence of harm]. Hopefully Jessica and Derek have been following the proper path of avoiding all Pharm. 'vaccine' serums and follow good, proper nutrition. The Globalist/Elite Cabal Rockefeller Allopathy/Pharmaceutical philosophy medical system purposely lack proper information, knowledge about proper, good nutrition and has significant false, incorrect, distorted, misleading information, misinformation, disinformation about nutrition and health, within their other falsehood, pretense, etc., indDOCtrination and propaganda, so the masses of people will actually have more ailments, illness, sickness, disease, etc. as the proof since they became and gained control as the primary medical system 100-120 years ago. Just within one generation heart and cardiovascular disease became significant and listed as the number one 'cause of death', which was rarely in existence prior. Then cancer, which is a failure of the human immune system, quickly became a significant and rose to be listed as number two, and more recently very close to behind number one. With more and more Pharmaceutical 'vaccine' serum injections in the schedule, the significant rise of allergies, food sensitivities, and other imbalance has occurred within last generation, nearly two. Natural human immunity and the immune system are essential within the human body function and system. The Rockefeller Allopathy/Pharm. medical system has led humans toward poor human health, and extensive medical issues, that they claim to have synthetic medications to handle ; usually via long term, and for the remaining portion of life, with increasing number of medications. Which old people do You know that live without a significant regiment of Pharmaceutical medications, until death ? My mother, age 90, nearly 91 [within 5-6 weeks] has a regiment of at least 6 daily medications, and many yearly procedures, which some of the younger physicians, that have become more recently involved, often see some results from which they want my mother to go for more extensive procedures, though the actual reality is the situation has not changed from the previous measured results, and have been monitored for many years. When she manages to contact a previous, more experienced physician, that also is familiar with her situation, the response each time, that the situation is stable and the results are the same as previous, thus fine, and no further procedure is necessary. Each year the physicians have convinced my mother to accept the yearly 'flu' shot, though We speak about it each year, including reminding about the illness she has each year, usually at the beginning of the winter months [within the next month] and the poor, incorrect, improper treatment she has gotten, resultant imbalance of her system getting worse again, then my efforts help to get her system more balanced again with Homeopathy, and still more with proper nutrition, which she has fallen further away from [though my mother sent me the original book from Nathan Pritikin back in 1984, and significantly changed, improved my base of information, knowledge, view, perspective, perception about food and nutrition which became my solid basis and use since. She did purchase and attain the book again, but for some reason resists, finding some excuse when asked if or when did she read some of it, then giving a reminder to just read a few pages each day or so, perhaps while eating. Am not residing in the same country or area of the world as my mother, for nearly 29 years, thus am limited to access by telephone and she still lacks the arranged data plans though somewhat recently has the device equipment for us to have a live video communication. She also needs someone to sit and provide proper guidance, practice, use of the device she has. A computer would be much better and easier to use too. Each generation of physicians are more aggressive, quicker to be more involved especially with more intervention. This is the way they are taught, developed and established to behave. This is the intent, purpose, direction, dictation, and control arranged, established, infused, and placed into the system thus upon the population and has been increasing through the decades via direction, dictation and control of the Elite Cabal within their use of this system achieve their Agenda. All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health and Well Being. Sincerely

@@newtonfirefly3584 You do you. I'll trust the medical community for the best chances of survival.

Thanks Bob, appreciate ya

Thanks you helped my entire family get through the pandemic . I've got a good long be 74 numbers matching I'd let a feller buy and a 83 short bed dodge ram fact.. tory 4 on the floor . I'm in ohio and I deliver to good fellers

That's the treasurer chest

God bless you brother.

Glad to see someone in your age group doing this type of work for "fun"!! Stay at it! And the thing to take from Derek's videos is PATIENCE! I have rushed too many projects and got discouraged or made mistakes. Take your time and enjoy the tinkering. That's why we do it.

thank you

@@ViceGripGarage I spend hours watching your awesome videos! They also inspire me to work on my 1981 monte. Derek, you would love her. I will only sell her to someone who saves old rigs.

dang i burned my thumb real bad but it only hurt for while. i was grabbing the positive cable going from relay to starter. stupid.

feels a little leathery still but i'm fine.

Beer in a cooler that you could grab through the back window. Miller mini bottles…..

Whiskey pimped through a new window washer tank pumped through an opening behind the ashtray. Kids laying in the back window. All rolled up so strangers think we have a.c. The youth of today will never know the feeling of crashing into the back of the front seat while your brother scrambles to steal your window lounge area. Dad trying to smack anything he can connect with from the drivers seat. Good ol days.

@@dolinick just his descriptions of accounts are so vivid, you can't help feeling the same thing!! Leathery was hilarious, reminded me of SCTV "The Fishin Musician" with John Candy

It sounds like something Yogi Berra would say ! 🤣

He's a pretty good lil feller

That needs to go on a vice grip garage shirt

For sure…. Second to my son, but he’s a good little man

Optimism is the key, between a half decent going to town rig, or the crusher.

What years?

Nope. Probably not....LOL

He's not fooling anyone who's been hookin their peepers on this here channel for more than 2 episodes.

I would think that a "goin to town rig" WOULD be a runner... 😆 🍻

Exactly this

Grace to you, Jerry. Psalm 32:8. Romans 10:13.

Bad leadership way, way above your pay grade is not your fault. Thank you for your service. I'm sorry, disgusted, and embarrassed with how things were handled, but it's no reflection on the job you and so many others did while in theater. Glad to hear Derek's vidjas are helping to bring a feller back around.

@@treverwhetzel9603 I really appreciate this I have also noticed that Dericks channel is an amazing community and family this is awesome I’m so glad I finally spoke up and got on here

Hi Jerry, welcome to the commenting part of the comment section. As you may know, leaving any comment, good or bad, short or long, helps the channel get promoted to more people through the KZfaq algorithm. Cheers from B.C. Canada

Thank you for your service. Remember that you mean something to some of us.

I remember a less exciting ride! I was the first customer to remove parts from a '77 Monte Carlo.... I found a complete 3/8 S-K ratchet kit under the bench seat. It was in the plastic green box. 🤑🤗 Nice present and a tilt steering column, the color I needed too! The column was 25.00. Back in 1983. Oh, the time has passed. I had 3 complete NICE sets of swivels for 50.00 each set, and a instrument panel with console for a 73 Laguna, wiring to the fuse box, removed by me for 20.00

Hes a movie star

Sorry for your loss. Pets are family and it sucks to lose one

I'm sorry for your loss I will probably be going through the same thing here real soon myself

Sorry to hear it.

Sorry , pets are the friends that are always there for us regardless, it really stinks there lives are so much shorter then ours, hope things get better for you

Sadness one day is worth the lifetime of love . Let your heart cry and sing ..

99.9% of vehicles on the road. Sounds amazing.

After all that you still didn’t tell us the most important thing :-Will the kid live !! Glad you survived the plane crash though 👍🏻

I agree, listen I’m 13 with a 1985 Dodge W350 power ram, I bought it because I wanted to make memories with it and memories I have, from my grandpa to my dad to friends(no longer friends) we have a 67 Fairlane 500Convertable but it’ll take to much money right now, I love the piss out of this truck and the only reason I’m this far is because of my dad, yes memories do count and that one day I’m gonna have the truck and our Fairlane to remember I don’t like to think of that day but I have memories.

I think its because now our technology has surpassed our humanity. Streets loaded with pavement princesses on one side and homeless and hungry children on the otherside. Its a pretty but sad day we live in these days.

@@AidenShields424 did you mean 23

@@apeaape he could have meant 13, I built my first engine when I was 9. Car kids a car kid

I know about it, so not much of a secret now!😆

Thanks for watching Nate

Well I’ll be! A fella just giving away the ending before I even get to push the go button

Well now that I know how it ends I guess I don't need to bother watching it. But I guess I will anyway.

No need to feel depressed. Just start working on something. Workout or even cleanup. Life only gets better with effort.

*- YES, YES, YES: impressive revival, too.*

right, this is easily a great daily after it's mech is taken care of..

I always thought that if the engine is locked up it is ruined and needs to be rebuilt. A fun and expensive endeavor that insurance companies would say no to.

@@twistedyogert Yes they will run. But you will find that the oil consumption would break you. Plus you would cover every car behind you with a fine mist of oil. Most of these cars would need a rebuild if using as a dependable daily driver that is some what eco friendly. Now you could use as a beater around the farm and short trips into town. But really with out an overhaul that's about it. Another reason these cars will start and run is because they were still using non ethanol gas when they were set out to pasture. The non ethanol gas don't corrode like the ethenol gas does. Especially the ones that still had some lead in the gas.

What is Petina?

@@mmarciniak That's the dyslexic brother of PATINA.

Thank you very much
