This guy is a prime example of excellent parenting. Just do things with your kids! Learn em how to figure stuff out by showing them how you figure stuff out. Absolute legend Derek!
Thanks!
I agree just dangerous enough to be fun but still makes sure Bentley has Long pants and long sleeves and a helmet on. Just safe enough to keep mom off a fellers back
Doesn't matter. They make believe they're interested then back to navigating social media
@@wileecoyote5749 it does matter. My dad was like Derek. At 55 I still miss those times we shared. Parents that allow their kids to waste away on social media instead of experiencing life are the problem
@@wileecoyote5749 Let's hope not.
More content, already? A feller is blessed. Your videos help a man stay sane in the frosty eternal darkness of northern Sweden. Love and appreciate both you and the little one's content and effort. Thank you very much for all that you do. It matters so very much, and teaches more.
11 mins in & over 30 likes to your comment?! our guy is bigger than Elvis’s last dump.
God Jul, Happy New Year! (a little late) My father’s from Gothenburg A beautiful country you have there I have not visited since I was a kid. On my definite bucket list.
I know I was like damn already
Legitimately said the exact same thing when i opened YT.. MORE!? YESSSSS! Thanks for entertaining us Derek!
@@corporalclegg914 just so you know…an outstanding comment right there…
Made me laugh out loud when Bentley asked “is that the parking brake or somethin” talking about that chunk of firewood. Gotta love it Derek. It’s so cool seeing him out there with you in almost every video. I can’t imagine the stories he’ll be able to tell his kids and grand kids about old dad
Parenting 101! Little guy listens to his pop,he’s definitely got his sense of humor
@@traviskell8088 I don't think a feller could work around Derrick for long without a sense of humor😉
@@BonzoFan1right! It’s kinda contagious! 😂😂😂
..probably one of the only guys who can produce a 2 hour video and everyone watches the entire thing. The go-cart thing at the end was perfecto!
Derek, I love how you’re teaching your youngest to work on cars. He will remember these moments for the rest of his life. Much love from the Netherlands
Bentley is definitely my favorite. He's always helping his dad and giving us these great videos
@@DankoStojanovic I just feel like that's a weird thing to say about somebody's kid
Even if he doesnt remember they are all on video 👍🏻
@@mentals555 i feel you are a bit weird for saying that or maybe a childless troll who hasn’t fully grasped the language.
@@mentals555
Only if you want to make it weird... which you just have.
“… hold on to the fuel tank!” 😂😂😂 best line a dad ever said to his son! You guys are most awesome! Love the show!
Thanks for watching
1. "hold on to the fuel"
2. "don't let your feet go through the floor"
3."don't tell mom"
Dad legend achievement unlocked
I gotta say... these videos with your littlest human you're responsible for are just priceless. He will have these to look back on for a lifetime. For a lotta fellers like me, it's the memory banks of me and my Dad. Tought me to siphon leaded gas by mouth when I was six, change a tire at eight, and helped me rebuild my 1970 Mustang at 15. I still have the car.. and the memories, but not Dad. I lost him a while ago... But the memories are all so priceless. Take care friend.
My memories are with my grandfather, but much the same as you. Those memories of the times I spent with my grandfather are more than priceless. They are worth millions to me and I suspect Bentley will feel the same way in 40 to 50 years. Lucky to have them.
leaded gas
@@hunterbear2421 Shows you how old I am... lol
@@chrisgramza8582 thankfully ya survived that, safety wasn't big back then.
I'm glad you still have the 70 Mustang. That's cool
"Don't tell mom, ok" 😂😂 Love it. What an awesome man and great father you are. Thank you for sharing , teaching and entertaining all of us!
Hopefully mom isent a subscriber that will bleep bloop her disapproval in the comments section...
I miss the good old days when Dad and I would look at each other wide-eyed and not even say a word. It was just unspoken that neither of us would EVER tell Mom how close one of us came to being maimed or killed.
@@robkesik6382right!😂😂😂
A random Corvair story: In the late '60's I was helping a farmer friend on his Minneapolis-Moline Uni-Harvester (farm implement). It had a bad generator which was made of unavailable unobtanium because it turned backwards (counterclockwise). Fortunately I knew that Corvair generators also turned backwards and were easy to find and cheap. Quick bolt-on fix!
"Littlest human you are responsible for" gets me every time....This is one reason I enjoy your channel, the phrases and words you come up with are top notch...waiting for the Vice Grip Garage dictionary to come out LOL.
A Vice Grip Garage dictionary would sell for sure.
As a former fleet service guy that wasn't certified in anything but experience. You make my day to do and say most of the things I used to. Great job being a dad. God bless you from southern Michigan. 🙏
It is easy to feel discouraged when you look at society today, but when I see a father and son working together like you and your son it gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your videos!
It's the good stuff for sure
Agreed! Wholesome entertainment rather than woke garbage that gives a little break from the insanity of real life.
@@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 - you should check out “Curious Cars” he’s quite the opposite of ordinary car reviewers nowadays!
Bentley genuinely seems like he loves working on those cars with you. Looks like he'll be following in your footsteps. Great video and thank you for all the great content. Happy 2023!!
His sons is so blessed to be able to grow up with a dad like that. Hes going to have so much knowledge and be able to fix anything.
My first car was a 65 Corvair my dad and I started building when I was 13. Took about 3 Corvairs to make 1 and lots of trips to the junkyard. This brought back good memories, my dad is gone now but I still remember trying to get that car running for when I got my license.
How can one channel be so damn consistent for so many years? This is absolutely perfect!
...wow
@@wileecoyote5749
Er cool.
Consistently Consistent!
because derek isnt a tryhard. he is just himself.
@@HuskyGamersUNITE that’s precise
Derek - thanks for the new revival - you are an incredibly hard worker and it’s great to see VGG getting the kudos it deserves. It’s a great pleasure and honor to be a small part of the VGG family.. Cheers Chris
As a Corvair owner and a fan of VGG I have been waiting for this moment for a long time! Derek is the man!
Oh the nightmares ... I mean memories.
Same here! I remember seeing this Corvair in the background of a different video and have been waiting for it to make an appearance.
I found this channel after watching your Amazon Prime show "Roadworthy Rescues" and I am not disappointed. I am not only stoked for the new season (my father absolutely loves it), but I am forever hooked on everything you do. Can't wait to watch more of your content, "professional" or otherwise :D
It is really weird to me to see someone come from that show - it was not well advertised or anything and then come here. Usually people come from here and go to the show which is exactly the same as here.
It was the same for me
Bentley is sure a chip off the not so old block! It's obvious he loves working with his dad. Great little helper right down to the matching flannels...You are truly blessed! Can't wait to see what you two get into next. Thanks for sharing.
I drove an almost identical white corvair, power glide, not much rust, no where near enough heat in the winter in Saskatchewan for two years. You brought back a lot of memories. They were good cars that got a bad reputation, handled good and fuel milage was good for the time. Easy to work on in the driveway. Bought it for $750 dollars, Canadian, and got more than that on a trade in 2 years later.Thanks for this save Derick, one of your good ones!
Was any heater good enough for a Saskatchewan winter? I grew up in South East Sask. First car was a 1976 Ford Capri. Good little car, but never enough heat!
@@Rob-Müller You had the Capri over there? I assumed it was a watered down Mustang we had to settle for in the UK! Did you get the 1300cc version 😂
@@Me-zo8yc 2800cc, but still not a powerful car by North American standards.
I helped my Dad fix up a '62 Corvair Monza back in the 1980s. He had a friend who was an interior upholsterer so he got that done for cost. He put tires, drums, shoes, and bearings all around. did a complete rebuild on the engine and patched up the exhaust. Then I spent half a summer sanding the body getting the 1.5 billion door dings and paint chips. The only damage that needed was one of the tail lights from my sister allowing it to roll back and into a wall in a Manhattan Beach parking lot. The car was a California car so hit had only surface rust on the chrome. Anyway, Dad finally got it painted and sold it. It was the prettiest Corvair of the 15 he had. Nice job getting it going. That sound is one I remember fondly. Thank You.
I've been waiting for a Corvair episode for years ever since I saw one in the background of a shot on another build. Loved it, wouldn't mind seeing more like this. Very unique rigs in their day.
If you love Corvairs have you seen Matts Off Road Recovery. He modified a Corvair Lakewood Wagon. It looks amazing.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one waiting for years for a corvair build, nor the only one that noticed a Corvair in VCG's garage on another episode!
@@adacowboysful I saw the Corvair in the background on another video and was saying to myself...self... I wonder when Derek is going to work on that one. It'll be great...yup!
Yep, spotted and commented wondering when he was gonna acknowledge the Corvair in the background.
I was worried it didn't make the move.
Derek finds a spoon in the engine compartment and says, "Oh...that's a good spoon!", then he cracks up and laughs out loud because he can't stay in character after he said it. I cracked up when he laughed at his own Derek sillyism. Lol And that is why this channel is so much fun to be subscribed to and watch.
That got me laughing too.
Same here!
Ain't much channels no more that can get the giggles out a feller, this one is certainly golden for that!
They don't make spoons like they use to
I work at Napa Auto Parts, and I always mention the "go handle" on most of the batteries. I also tend to usr other phrases like "lightning hoses", "sparkilators", "Ice cube juice", etc.
Awesome video Derek. Bentley is getting one heck of an apprenticeship wrenching alongside his Dad. The memories alone are worth everything. Don’t tell Mom, the universal phrase uttered by Dads worldwide.
Had a red '62 with a 4-speed just like this one in 1964. Then it was off to the Navy and then to Nam. Mickey Thompson did a lot with the Corvair. Mine was really nice. I can't remember what happened to it. Really a good vid, I've been here since the start. I love 'em all. Super family.
Derek, you are a tribute to fatherhood! I love the way you bring your children into the business and how well they respect you! We need more families like yours across this great country of ours. Welcome to Tennessee!
Teaching em to be ...youtubers. Solid occupation
Bentley is the man! He will inherit the Vice Grip Garage Mantra...
@@StoryOfTtrouble 💤
Love seeing Jr working with you instead of sitting in front of a TV or on a cell phone, good seeing you raising him right. Reminds me of my days in the shop with Pops working on the ol tractors. Sure do miss him. Awesome video man.
A guy in El Paso Texas just can't get enough of your content Derek. I'm probably 20 years older and my kids are all growed up now, but it sure warms my heart to see you & Jessica and how you all interact with your chillins!
You would love “sleeperdude”u- tube channel . He gets all his kids involved, even his barnyard animals!
@@geraldlafleur7776 I'm gonna check it out. Looks like they jam on a 78 Gremlin in one of his videos... What could possibly go wrong!? 👍
He does an hour long video once a week, drops on Tuesday night usually.
I miss my dad so much when watching this .Derek is a great dad reminds me of how my dad was with me and working on cars. I love Derek s videos been watching for along time.great videos 👍
Seeing Bentley start to mimic your comedy without being prompted is the most wholesome thing ever.
It's always great to see a vgg video on my notifications.
The kids are growing up fast.
I really liked the fact Derek's not so little anymore, little one covered his mouth and nose when he ran behind the exhausts. Such a great family.
Wish we had more parents doing this with their kids instead of letting electronic devices babysit them.
Derek with you resolving to be home more this year, you should do reverse revivals. Source the cars, fix em at the house, then sell them and drive them to the next guy. Just film the trip and all the road bs that happens.
I was wondering what happened to "Rocky" the red Chevelle he saved a couple of years back? Probably sold it.
Between your son laughing at the lack of a floor and you popping the engine bay you guys had me rolling.. Been with you since the beginning and always funny as hell ! Thanks Derrick
I just love Derek's little mini me- Bentley. He's a great helper and learning valuable knowledge while sharing quality time with his dad. Those boys already know more about vehicles than some grown men. These are truly valuable lessons that will help them their entire life. Just love it when an engine comes to life after so many years. Keep wrenching and we'll keep watching. Stay safe and GOD bless
This is one more reason why I really dig this channel, a guy can always count on there being coverage on someting off the beaten path and learning a little something new. Also love seeing the family involvement, glad you're vowing to spend more time with them they deserve it.
What about other kids?
Seeing how great of a dad you are is all worth the love you deserve from anyone Derek. I love your videos and wish more people were like you in life.
VGG parenting channel, disguised as a car channel 😂
I've been binge watching your content just lately, tremendous stuff!
The most real, unadulterated content you can currently get on youtube! Thanks for all that you do!
Kind regards from the UK!
yah me too its been a kick.... good stuff..
Your channel is literally the only one I'll watch videos start to finish, no skipping etc no matter how long they are. I love your content fella. Keep it coming and happy new year to you, Jessica, and the kids!
agreed
and same for whistlin diesel and JH diesel and cleetus and ksr performance videos too
You and your family are amazing, please do NOT change. A feller enjoys the personalities! WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
Any Corvair owner knows a few things: the carbs are a bear to keep in sync, the engine drips oil, you always have a spare belt in the trunk, and Clark’s Corvair Parts is a savior. Former 65 convertible owner.
This is by far the most entertaining and informative show on UA-cam. Top tier content that the whole family can enjoy
A world needs more fathers like you derek, a feller is mighty proud and thankful for what you do
Awesome video! Loved every bit of it - especially the parts where you brought your youngest human you're responsible for on the scene. You and your family truly are an inspiration for how a family unit is supposed to be. Thanks y'all!
Couldn’t be a Friday night without VGG! Lil man is a mini you. Great family. 🇺🇸❤️

Hey Derek! A guy can appreciate the content you put out. Can’t wait for season 2 of roadworthy rescues!!!!
Always good to see your prodigy/protege working with you. He's a fine young man.
This episode brings back fond memories of me hanging out with my Dad as he worked on his Ford Falcon Sprint and after that his beloved Ford Fairlane GT 390! I learned a lot about cars and repair. I went from getting in the way to handling him tools to helping to actually doing the work! The highlight was driving to Tampa Dragway and watching him race! Miss you,Dad! ❤ Thank you,Derek and Bentley!! You guys made an old man smile! The ol’ eye sprinklers kicked on for a sec!! 😁
Currently Saturday 00:40 in the UK. I absolutely adore your videos derek. Much love to you and your family. Your channel has helped me through so much. Happy new year to you all
Derek- I've been following and subscibed to your page about 4-5 months ago, I've binge watched most of your videos and love the content and humor. Bentley has a great dad! I love to see you passing on useful skills to him as well as being the loving guiding father! Can't wait for season two of Roadworthy!!!
Nice seeing a Corvair, I have a soft spot for the little oddball vehicles. Thought the Corvair was railroaded back in the day. Could this be your next Road Track Car? You have the best help in the world with you. So good to see family values as #1. Thanks for all you and your family do.
Yeah, ole' Ralph Nader made his name vilifying these cars.
When you and the lil feller were doing that test drive around the yard, I was HOWLING with laughter! I did one of those with my brother when we were teens but we deliberately crashed into EVERYTHING we could! He was so angry at that car. We wrung the next 3 years worth of enjoyment out of that rig in an afternoon! So much fun!
Watching you toodle around with your boys, I get teary eyed! I think about all the time I missed with my own boys and girls while I was too busy keeping food on the table and providing a stable roof for them to call home. Now my reward is I get to do what you're doing, but with my grandchildren. Almost all of my kids still like me and visit often, because they now understand where dad was all those years.
Bless your little pea-picking heart James.
You’re such a great dad and man! I hope them boys appreciate the awesome father they have. Imagine the memories/knowledge those boys are gonna grow up with!
Congrats your kids are so lucky to get to spend this time working on cars with you. They will learn lessons way beyond their years and have memories to cherish for a lifetime!!!
(son) "Is that the parking break or something?"
Derek is teaching the boy the automotive secrets he's spent years perfecting. I honestly love seeing them work together.
Caught that too
The little human does well.
Parking brake
😁😁👍👍
Someone should teach you when to use Brake and Break. .
I can't believe that serpentine belt is even hanging on, the way it has to twist like that to go around the fan is crazy, you would think that would wear them out or snap them extremely fast
Derek, I love your content. I don't know why, but your reaction to the spoon in the engine bay CRACKED...ME...UP!!! Thank you for what you do.
Sure enjoy your humor! Being from North Dakota, I just love the common sense approach you have. Being in Factory maintenance after being a dairy and grain farmer, I learned that many things seem complicated. When you break it down to systems and address each one, it makes it manageable and you learn something. Hats off to you for the lessons. Your family is blessed by working together. The series on Betty White is one of my favorites. Happy New. Year
I'll enjoy as much content and entertainment as y'all provide but family is more important. Glad to hear spending more time with your family is a New Year's resolution.
Thanks for watching
It's so admirable how he prioritizes family time, what a guy
I absolutely love watching you with your mini twin. It makes me think of how I used to follow my dad around and help him. He was my hero and best friend.
I love that he's teaching his kids how to work on these old cars early on, I wish I had that when I was younger! They might be the ones making sure these older vehicles are still on the road in the future
Happy new year to the VGG family and thank you all for all you do. As northern michigander living down utah it sure is nice to hear a northern accent and northern phrases/lingo once in a while and a guy appreciates the reminders of home.
A year later and had to watch it again.
It's freaking awesome to watch Derek do this with his kid.
As 50 year old man, some of my favorite memories was working on cars/trucks with my dad back in the 70's & 80's.
I hope Bentley has the same once he is my age.
Good stuff, great times!
A boy knows he has become one of the guys when he hears his father say don't tell your Mom. Warms the Heart. Also I knew people who owned Corvairs and Loved them.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! I have to say, I love watching these rescues. I love the old classics! They don't make them like that anymore and once they're gone, they're gone!! It's cool the family gets involved as well.
.....once they're gone, THEY'RE gone......almost had it - learn English.......
*Pulls out block of wood* - "Is that the parking brake?" I laughed too much at that one, love it. So awesome to see your little human with you. You can see how much he enjoys spending time out in the garage, by the way that it is! haha
I lost my son in September and I have learned again that you can’t always do it tomorrow. Spend that family time buddy. Good job vice grip family 👍😎.
Another fun revival! While I love the “drive it 600 miles home” episodes I always worry about your safety (and frankly everyone else’s), so it’s nice to see you with the kiddo and working at home :)
He did the right thing and just got it running at home, safely, and hopefully won't touch it again. What a horrible engine design.
I'm very glad he didn't take this car on the road. Going over some train tracks a little to fast would likely snap it in half lol
@@bb5242 That "horrible engine design" won countless races mounted in the back of various Porsches, from the early 4-cylinder 356 and 550 models through the iconic 6-cylinder 911 series and, in 12-cylinder form the virtually unbeatable 917 that dominated Sports Prototype racing both in the U.S. and Europe in the late 60's and early 70's. I have owned over a dozen Corvairs since 1980, and haven't had an engine failure yet. My latest one puts out 220 rwhp from 2.8 litres... on pump gas. No power adders like a Turbo, supercharger, or nitrous (On a side note, did you know that the 1962 Corvair Monza Spyder was the world's first successful turbocharged production car? "Terrible engine"). Never met a street legal 5.0 Fox body that I couldn't take in a drag race. I know that you didn't say anything about handling, but with just a few easy chassis mods (lowering springs, adjustable gas shocks, larger sway bars, poly bushings) she easily ran away from an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce on a hilly, twisty Pocono Mountain back road. This "terrible engine" never needs a coolant flush and never needs a new radiator or hoses... because it doesn't have them!
@@bb5242 Those cars were death traps. They had an optional gasoline heater under the hood. It sounded like a little engine running. In the '70s down in SoCal I saw one with fire coming out of the back driving down the road. I caught up with the driver and told him to pull over. He didn't know that the car was on fire. Leaking push rod tubes.
@@bb5242 Really? ...dont tell Porsche...
Yessssss 🎉1 hour vids from VGG….great Friday night entertainment!
seeing you and your son work together reminds me of me and my dad when I was a child being taught how to repair and restore cars. I love to see this :-)
I dunno how to tell you how much you have taught me. I appreciate and love you guys!!!! I have been through a hard time drinking my life away and you and your family have helped me as embarassed as I can say... Thank you so much. You and your wife and your kids are cool af. Thanks guys. I appreciate you and your family, you gys might have saved a fella
Derek you’re such a good father bro. Your boys are truly blessed. L&R from 🇨🇦
Bentley is doing a great job! He's going to turn out to be a fine man. Well done Derek!!
He’s there to help quite often.
A VGG rescue? After the crap end of week I had... this is a blessing. Thank you feller!
Derek, love your work. You seem to be in a great mood doing this in your own space. Probably a lot less stressful knowing you're home instead of fighting to get there or if you'll actually make it. Thanks so much. Great video.
I just started to teach my 13 year old daughter how to repair and do maintenance on our cars and she is loving it and so am I!! Thanks VGG for the inspiration!!!
Another great episode. Really love these left-for-dead, get-'em-up-and-running revivals. It's my favorite content that you do.
Bentley's laugh sounds just like his Mom's! Can't blame the little feller for laughing at the hole in the floor. It was funny.
This kinda reminds me of Vintage VGG where you just kinda jump right into something without all the preamble and whatnot
Glad to see someone finally tackling a Corvair on one of these, they're very underappreciated!
Check out Matt’s Off Road Recovery’s Corvair Lakewood

Them 2 are a dying breed. 🥺
If you haven’t watched a sleeperdude video yet I highly recommend it. That kid Ralphie has a bright future too. Most guys are lucky if they’ve done one father son project like that. These kids have helped get more old cars back on the road than most men have.

@@krvnjrcbs most kids? Where do you live? Most of the kids I know are on their phones all the time or they don’t have a phone yet and still play with kid toys.

My daughter is 9 she just got an old (04) crf70 I’m gonna have her help with all the maintenance so she learns.
Love it when Derek says "...Don't tell Jessica!" Makes a guy smile! So PERFECT....😅
It's just fantastic what you're doing here, teaching your boys to be able to work with their hands, and also to understand that you sometimes gotta "make it work" with what you have. You sir, are a fine example I wish more would follow. Great stuff!!
Love your channel! Thank you for letting us join your family in your adventures.
The King is back! Thanks for every single minute, no second that a feller puts into these videos, much love!
Derek we love how you teach your kids how to do things and work together to get it done. This Corvair video was a prime example with Bentley with all those holes in the floor board and trunk not to forget the engine bay! We love your tutorials on how to check this and that and see if the part is good or bad and what the next step is to getting the engine to start. Good video as always! Love this channel and so does the wife!
This was a testament to you. You are a mechanical magician! I never thought this was going to run. Kudos to you!
As always, the best channel on UA-cam delivers! Here's wishing a happy new year for the whole extended VGG family.
Love it!. It’s a clean slate design from GM. Politicians hated it. That is two good reasons to like the corvair. I’m not sure this one will be a show car, but the fact that it runs and drives makes it salvageable. I like the odd vehicles. They don’t all need to be knuckle draggers. Compared to most cars from the ‘60s, this design still seems relevant. It will be a cool project for someone. Good Job!
Great to see you working with your son! Many memories and knowledge for him.
If you need help with this Corvair, call Matt's Off Road. He is a Corvair expert!!
Love the content, your very inspiring for me to get back into working on and restoring old vehicles. Thanks for all you and your family do.

Bentley’s first car is going to be epic! We need more dad’s like Derek.
Derek already did that, a 1969 Camaro. The episode was most certainly epic!
The happy go lucky mindset, with the tight knit family, and the "I'll be dipped"! Love every single episode.
Thank you for giving the Corvair the attention it deserves, Derek. It's often forgotten (intentionally) in the automotive world and most mechanics just won't touch them. But I believe it deserves more recognition. (Ralph Nader's attention notwithstanding) Great job getting her running again!! 👍
Derek, Great video with your son! Kids always love helping their dad. Your kids are lucky to have great parents! If the corvair is a loss, you can sell the windows and trim. The Corvair engines are popular aircraft engines.
It’s really cool to see your sons getting involved and in the shop with dad.
VGG Home of the Zen Stoic. This feller seamlessly overcomes the obstacles in the way of reviving a motor with level demeanor , logic, and humor.
And he makes the world a better place!
Wow Bentley sure does have his mothers piercing eyes, such a good lad. Derek you continue to inspire me and show thousands of others how true parents should spend time with their children. It may seem like another video to some, but these bonding memories of spending hours in the garage or out in the tree rows with your family working together are absolutely heartwarming. I just know your little ones ( that are getting so big so fast ) will always love and cherish the times Mom and Dad worked very hard for to create a solid foundation for their future along with teaching them the skills and creativity many people don't end up engaging in today. Much love from Chicago. Always looking forward to your next video !
