@@DodgemanSlease , GMTA! Both of my daughters are HOOKED on these vids! They both grew up in the garage with me and have the car bug as bad as I do.

@@morgangallowglass8668 mine are little yet. But so many great memories workin on cars. My oldest boy is 4. Has to b in the garage when i am. Feel free to check my channel out. I dont do old cars like derek but i do car work.

@@DodgemanSlease , it is about the time together, not the vintage of the cars. I am just too much of a caveman to wrap my brain around anything more modern than a 350 sbc and simple wiring. If want to discuss programming car brains, you want to chat with my grown kids as they make sport of me. Adding your channel now!

@@morgangallowglass8668 im not a tech guy myself. Usually have to read manuals to figure this new stuff out or google it. My jeep is to electricronic for my taste. Prefer anything before 05 but mainly anything before '00

My favorite part of the video!

Big facts my guy.

Derek is stepping in as the dad who works on cars with his kids for all of us who didn't have dad's to show us how to work on cars

I just got yelled at for holding the flashlight in the wrong spot.

Right there with ya bud

Me too Zach

Thanks, they're my world

@@ViceGripGarage trap door spider,,look that up..or down,where they live..

Thank you Daniel

I was thinking the same thing - those boys are going to turn out just fine!

I was thinking that he had TWO FIRST CLASS helpers! The best help a dad could ask for! 😄

@@chrisbosley7095 I love how they are used to his personality and hold a straight face, then listen to him and do exactly what he says. His wife is similar but she breaks a smile/laugh occasionally.

Yea im been working on cars and trucks sets I was like 8 or 9

Derek for president 2024.

Great dad. Teaching the boy how to work and how to be a good dad.

The Fiero of trucks!

But throw a 5.7 or 3.8 in one and see what happens. But prolly not one from Minnesota.

S10 owner I can confirm

Back in 1990 I tossed the ol' 1.9L four banger out of my '82 S truck and dropped a 327 SBC in there. I hurt a lot of folks feelings in the 1/4 mile.

Well, in 2001 I bought a brand new s10 to use as a commuter truck to keep the miles off my diesel. I put over 300k on that truck and it still ran good when I sold it in 2018. So I can say it was definitely good enough. Besides normal wear and tear items it never gave me problems. True story, in winter I put 400lbs of sand bags in the back over the rear axle and I was passing 4x4's in the snow without chains. Since new I always used Royale Purple synthetic oil and changed it about every 5000 miles. It was a great little truck. Oh, when I ordered the truck, I asked for an absolute base model. It was a 5 speed manual, no AC, AM/FM radio only, crank down windows, no electronics, etc. The dealership thought I was crazy. But, all I wanted was a commuter truck just for going to work and back. Something new but cheap. I paid $7000 for it, and ran it for 17 years......

You forgot the wasp removal

@@pabloata4708 she’s South Africa 🤦‍♂️

​@@YoungCarWiz She was born and raised in Colombia with a diverse mix of genetic history from across Europe and Western Asia. I think you're confusing her with Zahara who is a South African.

@Adrian Nyqvist TA06a when were you born my friend ?

yep.....

Such a Great reflection Ralph. That’s why I lurk here.

Yep, my father used to work on his cars when I was a wee lad, too. They were mainly late 60's and early 70's cars back then he had owned throughout the 70's and early 80's. The '71 Fiat 124 he owned and drove for a few years was a regular father & son get together gathering spot when I was age from 4 to 7. Then he also had an oil burning '71 Chevy fullsize wagon (not sure if it had the 400 small block or 402 big block, but I distinctly remember that she had the fender tag designating 400), the plugs had to be cleaned monthly! Then it was on to a '73 Torino Squire wagon-she leaked coolant alot and I remember adding gallons, and gallons, and gallons of coolant to it over a period of 6 months or so. Dad never fixed the leak, as the car needed extra time before it'd start moving the car each morning and he figured the trans would die any day, but it never did. He instead lost his patience with it, and so it was parked in the yard until around 5 years later as I was working as a teen and replaced the waterpump in it myself, and then she was my ride while in high school! Ah, to relive those happy, happy days of yore!

Dad's been gone for years, but I remember hating having to help him in the garage, esp when friends came by asking if I could go play and he'd say no, I was busy. Always on the weekends too.

Plenty more comin'

Oh I know cuz this is really the dream of every man on the planet to come across a classic that’s just sitting for god knows how long and seein if she can run

Good times!

I had a good healthy belly laugh at that one too. Classic!!! ..

Between that and learning how to kill wasps He's good to go

Yay european Problems

Yepp, watching in Norway. Had to do that before bedtime

i hope a guy got to sleep by 11pm then..

Sounds like you did the "right" thing.

Yup. From Sweden too and the video ended 11:54. Now it's bed time so I can go out and sand some bondo again 😫

You took the words right off my keyboard....

I concur

Came here to say this...

Looks like a '61 700. It's been in a couple other videos so they'd had it a while.

I'd love to see the Corvair too ! My dad had 2 of them and a neighbor when I was older had the monza of it ! A repair shop owner in my town as a kid had a station wagon version too.

What a great dad, what a great kid.

Welcome aboard!

uh oh!

Whose got the keys?? 😎

I don’t think it’s going to be the first time we’ll see him recycling some tires.

He ran the tires plumb off of it! Well...At least one of them.

I'm always looking for bees in under and on my projects. Now we have to worry about the Murder Hornets here in the Pacific North West! I like to use the weed burner to clear the area.🔥🔥🔥
