It's a different vibe than when it's just Derrick and the camera. It's great to try new things and learn. This is feedback, not intended as negative criticism, but I prefer no cameraperson. It seems like Derrick is able to cut loose more without having to think about where another person is in the space. I always look forward to the rescue videos regardless. Thanks for keeping us all entertained
@@feltwashers Also agree, every single video where no one else is immediately present seems to hit that good middle ground of off-the-wall comedy, conscience explanations of whats going on when its at hand, and i guess just general flow from beginning to end, retired ol' rig to putting miles down and smiles the whole way so to speak. I feel like its worth mentioning that Its honestly kind of upsetting how every revival he has to mention the next deadline to be at place X within a number of hours. Feels like the fanbase has pushed him to the point of just cranking out revivals because thats what the majority want to see and therefore torques the cogs of youtuber-ship forward. I guess it really comes down to what Derrick envisions the future of his persona to be, but as someone who grew up during the tail end of the mass adoption of cable television and watched it slowly dilute into "reality TV" (heavy on the quotations) and commercials.... Ill just leave it at, theres a reason ive switched to watching individual creators on UA-cam for as long as i have.
Paul Shinn = absolute legend. Wife and I made a 4 day trip in a Model A last fall and it was so much fun! We did about 800 miles and did an oil change in an O'reilly parking lot in the rain. We took all the back roads, nice and easy, minimal highway driving. She planned the route and found a bunch of historical stuff, roadside attractions etc. We stayed in an old hotel where Bonnie & Clyde hung out back in the day. So much fun to unplug and do things a little slower. 10/10 would recommend.
This seems to be the only show on UA-cam that runs long yet I watch it all the way through. I leave it just a bit smarter, relaxed and more towards the optimistic side of life. This show is a gem in the mud.
2 Million Subscribers, I can’t believe it. But we have to because we’re looking right at it! That is really something! A Big Congratulations to VGG! The model A, well she looks pretty good, but the that oil leak & noise doesn’t seem to be minor problems. Thanks for the ride through the country though! Look forward to the next episode on this one!
@@ViceGripGarage Congrats!!! Btw, you can ask Keith Rucker to both machine and help you pour Babbitt bearings. He's in fact bout to pour the mother of all Babbitt bearings in a huge sugar cane mill. Like as big as a small dog - big.
You make hay, (money) when the sun shines! He's popular now, because of what he does, you don't know how long the wave will last! Should he take better care of himself? That's his and our choice! Vacations are for sissys, lol, just kidding!
My pop bought one of these in the early 1930’s for $5. It was his first car and had no breaks, lights, starter battery, etc…..but it ran good and it got him all over New York City and the surrounding area. What a great car.
This is the only UA-cam channel wholesome enough, informative enough, and entertaining enough that I've ever decided to buy merch from. God bless you and your family.
help out 'Low Buck Garage' as well with merch purchases. He, Merlin and Derrick IMHO are the best of the best and most deserving good people. l support them all tho l can just afford Tee-shirts. My son gets them for x-mas.
Australia here Derek.! When you left the first shop chuggin on down the road with the banjo music playing. All you needed was a bed and an old rockin chair ontop, and it would have looked like a scene from the Beverly hillbillies..!!! This one brought back memories Derek, i'm 74 and my dad had one of these. Yes.! we had them in Australia, in fact even today there are model A clubs in various states of Australia. First thing caught my eye at the start was the original klaxon horn. Good thing you understand a lot of the doo dabbers on these old cars. Thanks for what you do Derek, you give us fella's and fellete's a lot of enjoyment watching you do what you do.
The model A was absolutely everywhere. They even built them under license in Russia as the GAZ model AA. Us in Finland made tractors out of a lot of them 😄 (from Fords, not GAZ's)
Gotta tell you I channeled you today while doing brake work. A friend "helping" me cross threaded a fitting in my proportioning valve. I tried several times to fix it before pulling it and retapping the threads. Upon putting it back together I couldn't get the fitting to seat without the flare wrench slipping. I then said I know a guy that knows how to fix it and I grabbed the vice grips. Never fails.
List of all the UA-cam channels I follow where I immediately like the video even before I’ve watched it: 1. VGG That’s it. That’s the list. The man doesn’t disappoint.
When I heard him say contact, I immediately thought of south main auto.. that or Derek will start venturing into airplanes fixing them and hillbilly flying them home.. It's not so far fetched, it's in his business description airplanes along with the other stuff like cars

Derek, I doubt you’ll see this, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoy any episodes you do involving Model As and cars of that time period. My grandpa was a big fan of your channel and was always telling me about his favorite channel on his iPad. He was an avid model A collector and member of the model A collectors club. Sadly he passed away about 3 weeks before the 1928 Model A you did back in 2022, so he never got to enjoy you working on the cars he loved the most. Seeing this 1930 brings back many memories of him, as his first car was a 1931 four door that my grandma still has.
Definitely want to see a follow-up. See what the noises were. See what the end result is! And PS I've said it off and on over the years. Take care of yourself brother. Please don't burn yourself out. We appreciate you so much!
Agreed. Car cruises got rained out, so getting an earlier start watching. Always appreciate the hard work that goes in to these videos, and I like the variety of content.
@@ritawilliamson1394 it was crazy watching the almost 3 hour one a couple weeks ago, it didn’t feel like all that time had passed. It really does feel like you’re hanging with a friend just farting around in almost every single video.
I’m sure a camera man makes life easier, and man you deserve it. But this is the second revival in my immediate memory where you used a cameraman. I personally much prefer the lone wolf style of your typical videos. Just my input, I’ll still watch every episode regardless.
I almost assuredly mistaken, but it looks like Bradley might be the cameraman??? I could not tell for sure. Around 3:07 we see someone in shorts and tenny rods holding the camera. I say this because Bradley might have been running the camera during the Bland National bumper filler episode. It almost appeared that he stepped from behind the camera to help put the rear bumper on. Just a guy’s observation (not that Guy, this guy over here).
Man, I'm envious, and I love Double Clutching/Rev Matching down shifts. O'Reilly has the element for the glass filter. Everyone telling you to take a vacation/time off. While they truly are trying to help, they just don't get it, you're doing what makes you happiest.... you're the original "will it run and drive XXX miles home" thx Buddy you're very much appreciated
@speedfreak8200 Yep. There's days that I don't feel like cleaning up cars and dragging them to car shows, but I'm always glad that I did at the end of the day. I've won trophies on some of the days that I've felt the worst doing it. If I had said "fuck it" and stayed in bed, I wouldn't have those trophies. Gotta keep on keepin on, or a guy gets old... 🤷🏻
Hey Derek, I have been binge watching your show for the past four months, starting with Road Worthy Rescues then Vice Grip Garage/Vice Grip Lodge. While watching this episode, it dawned on me you are on the verge of burnout. You are great at what you do. Please take care of yourself.
When I was in high school our family bought a house that used to have a fuel station in the front yard back in the days of the Model A's. when we removed all the stuff they had left behind, out around a tulip tree were 6 of 7 of these old engines just laying around it. they were scrapped... this was in 1978. years later My step dad and the neighbor got into restoring these old cars, all the car parts and such we threw out was the topic of many discussions... lol Great video, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely. If I’m a little low, I search out a revival I’ve not seen, or sometimes one i have seen! And just enjoy Mr VGG do his thing. The Long Road Home, with music and the odd incident, is life affirming. Extracting a once loved vehicle from its own grave is something else. Thanks Derek. Take care.
Thanks to you and your videos, I just got my dads 57 bel air running and driving. He bought it in 92 and was always too busy to get it going. Thank you Derek
You can't win them all but I'm glad you tried. I know you do a lot of revivals, but its the road trips and problem solving along the way that really make you so captivating. Even if you just bought a running and driving squarebody and road tripped it home the way you do. If its a gem and doesn't throw you curveballs, you could always stop and do a parking lot oil change.
Sorry it didn't work out for you Derek. My Dad just passed about 8 months ago, and we have been getting his 1931 Model A fixed up and ready for sale. He traded his old 31 that had 6V system for another 31 that was converted to a 12V system. Runs like a top. You brought back the memories I had with him working on them. Thanks for that. I hope you can get this one home.
The new CARS cartoon move maybe 🤔🤔🤔 .... anyone have a good idea of what kind of car Derek should be in the movie 🎥... Just me but I would like to see him play the rival bad guy car in a NASCAR race DAYS OF THUNDER vibes just because he can't be lightning ⚡ McQueen and it would probably be more fun to play the role so I pick..... Derek as a NASCAR truck....I know trucks and cars don't race together but it's a cartoon it doesn't have to make sense just be fun and funny to watch....
Put a rebuilt Zenith carb & distributor on it & try again. Also, pull manifold, clean up surfaces & put in new gaskets. Does not sound noisey enough for bearing problems, would sound like a concrete mixer if so. That sedan is so nice ...when they sit for years you get many problems but all fixable if time is put in.
From a Derek to a Derek i just want you to know that i so truly appreciate all of your hard work putting out so much content and never lacking in the entertainment department. You are an awesome fella and i genuinely am thrilled ever single revival you do! Thank you much brother!
2 million people subscribed to watch a guy do what he loves. Restores a bit of faith in carburators and tube tires. Congratulations to you and the family, Derek!
In all the years of watching this channel I can only recall a few times where you had to throw in the towel. You still have a pretty good success rate. Hopefully the new ride gets you back home.
Derek you are the Bob Ross of auto mechanics! Happy little sparklelaters and lightning whirlers. I admire your patience and envy you. Your a great mentor.
Babbitt bearings: Derek, a company called Cincinnati Babbitt Inc. pours babbitt still. I work for an industrial electric motor repair company and we've used this company for many many years to pour babbitt bearing for us.
@@stevebaker5642 could have just tagged him in this comment you made, or realised its his channel so he gets notified on every comment. Good intentions I guess, no harm, but pointless nonetheless.
Watching Derek struggle with the gas bowl or whatever you call that glass thing with the cork seal he had to make, it reminds me of how difficult such a simple thing would be for me, only I’d be using every curse word in the book and having an absolutely miserable time, questioning why I’m so stupid and everything is so hard for me. Derek, however, is having an absolutely wonderful time. Cracking little jokes, enjoying himself, even as the thing does what things always do; they get a lot more difficult. I wish I could just learn to be happier.
I love it when you carry on conversations with yourself. I don't know why but it is hilarious. I literally laugh out loud. It's not an easy thing to pull of for most people without it sounding contrived. You do it effortlessly and it sincerely sounds like someone having a conversation with another person. Maybe it's because you don't put emphasis where comedians would put it in a comedy routine. It just sounds natural. It's hilarious.
He's a madman! He already did it once and people thought I'm crazy for actually doing it, then my man literally went "now watch me do it again" lol. Love the videos
I grew-up on a farm near Chad's shop, on land that was homesteaded by my ancestors, so really loved the drone shots of the Model A driving down those roads - surely in much the same way as my grandparents and great-grandparents did some 100 years ago. Thank you
Congratulations my friend on making 2 million subscribers. You surely do deserve it buddy.... I say you deserve it because you work so hard through the years to build this wonderful channel and network of gearheads !! 👍
@@ViceGripGarage you deserve those words my friend! Just by watching your work ethic. I'm 70 years old and I took my first car engine apart when I was 13 years old..
That fuel bowel is kicking you butt. I love it when you are having a conversation with yourself and you have no answer to your question so you look over at the camera and shake it off as in no comment. Obviously I watch alot of your videos. I'm a 62 yr young truck mechanic and really appreciate what you do. Well you got that black A model running so I will see if you can get'er home. Good luck. Easy does it
51:52 I like how the camera man was trying to stay quiet when he whispered to you "I think it was" lol. The true hero there, second set of eyes always helps a ton.
Ha! Thank you for pointing out this easter egg. I would have never heard it otherwise. I'm wondering if hes the same cameraman from the O'Reilly Cadillac? I hope so.
@@528Circle It's a whisper, so you got to crank up the volume a bit to hear it. Headphones may be best. Looks like you got to give it a few more tries for a fellar to hear it.
Derek, what you may not know about Model A's is, that when the gearshift is in 3rd gear, you can grab the gearshift with both hands and pull straight up. You will feel it notch in a knuckle that allows the gearshift to be now swung up and away towards the passenger side, against the dashboard. This was to allow more room for the middle passenger in the front on longer drives. It was a standard feature. And yes that temp gauge on the rad cap does work, and the red mercury can be seen by the driver in the danger zone. The ones with screw caps could be turned towards the driver.
Hay D'man always love your videos and shows and let me say sorry for not watching it sooner but i been so busy and out of every popular mechanics on here you guys are my #1 and that guys definitely right about your lugs and health!!!!!
Derek, just a small tip. Cut little strips of sandpaper and keep them in the file side of your Leatherman. When you work on anything with points, you got sandpaper available 👍
No one deserves 2 million more than the kind fellers at VGG busting their backs day and night to make sure we always have some high quality comedic content to watch for the weekends. Keep up the hard work VGG looking forward to future videos.
Hey Derek, IT could be the fan possibly. I'm not a mechanic but, by watching you. You're the best mechanic I've ever seen in my life and I'm 63yrs. Old.
Derek might be the most patient mechanic that has ever lived. I learned all of my profanity from my step dad winging tools and parts across his home shop, and the yard, when he would bring home work for the weekend.
Love how humble Derek and the family is. Never pushing his channel to get more subs. Don’t see the UA-cam propaganda in the background of the shop. Thank you for always being you. Letting us be part of who you are. We really appreciate all you do for us. It’s an honor to be a feller! Last but not least. I’m praying for you and your family. Psalm 91!
" OUR SASQUATCH" KEEPS IT ROLLIN AND MAKES US WANNA WATCH WITHOUT THE WOKE N CHOKED YOU TUBE DADDY WATCHIN OVER HIM.....CAUSE HE KEEPS IT RIGHT THE RIGHT WAY!
@@ViceGripGarage YOU ARE KIND TO SHOW US WHAT WE WERE MISSING!!! JUST A GUY, HIS GIRL AND SOME LITTLE HUMANS GROWING EVER HIGHER !!!! SO , HIGH INFACT, YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE , ANGEL WINGS AND " THE GLOW"
Derek, First off, your vids are pretty sweet. I'm always happy when I open UA-cam and see the notification for new content. That being said: your "Will it Run" videos are hands down my favorite, but you're giving away the "Will it Run" part in the intro. Several recent videos show a quick clip of the car driving down the road within the first 15 seconds. I understand there's calamities along the way, but it's a HUGE spoiler. OK! Either way, keep up the great content!
My Dad Had a 32 with The Flathead V8. He said the starter died and could not afford to replace it so He would Jack the left rear wheel up off the ground and spin start it.
Actually, the first time I saw any of your videos, I thought to myself, not my type of video. Then your channel showed up again, and I was hooked. Now, after hundreds of videos. I look up VGG and South Main Auto. You remind me of how my life was growing up helping my dad at his shop. This video hit home when I was ten a neighbor came to me and asked if I could help him start a Model A it was so cool that afternoon when it started and we went for a ride. Derrick, congratulations on your 2 million subscribers. I was really hoping to watch your ride back home. Thank you, your boys and Jessica. It's got too hard for them to be gone for the videos. God bless and prayer's sent. I saw a video of you in Los Lunas, New Mexico. This is my stomping ground. I wish I could have seen you.
Thank you again Derek for another entertaining video hope to see the follow up to this be interested to that little engine stripped down, that's when you have a spare minute ,GO HARD but take some time off we all love watching what you get up to.
That was the right move Derek. I know you live to drive 700 miles on 40 quarts of oil, but not today. I did enjoy the road trip footage getting to your buddies place. I'll just rewind that a bunch of times and call it 700 miles. Thanks for taking me along. I always enjoy!
Appreciate you keeping it real and showing how not every project immediately works out. Takes time, patience and a lot of effort. Keep doing what you're doing! Thanks
Stopping by to make sure and like and comment for the algorithm along with watching from beginning to end especially because I saw some guy complaining about you rescuing this one on Facebook. This is your channel, keep doing you. Thanks for taking us along.
As a 30 year Model A owner, I appreciate you and Paul Shinn for making Model A's cool again. They can be easily toured if they are in good mechanical condition. Went on a tour to the Gilmore Museum in Michigan for Model A days. We covered over 100 miles. It's a great way to see back roads and scenery that you miss being on highways/Interstates.
Ty for actually caring about history and not destroying it !!!I recently a beautiful piece of history destroyed by another youtuber which made no sense!!You and your family produce the best content on UA-cam!!!Again thanks for saving all these pieces of history!!!
Derek, I officially want you to know that I think you are the commander in chief of the hot Rod world you are an outstanding man and it’s terrific human being… you have literally changed this hobby and I salute you sir… you have made all the rich guys like Jay Leno and others to me look like LOUSY human beings… I like see you on other channels helping other hot rodders… I have owned my duster for 30 years and at this point now I would donate it to your boy if he ends up being the same man that you are and I’m sure he will… I do when I die… crying when I wrote this God bless you, sir. Have a wonderful day.
Was probably nice having a cameraman, but I do enjoy the solo videos where you say you’re gonna bring us in so we can see what you’re talking about. The model A is super cool, I totally miss seeing you pour some gas in the carb. I was waiting for it when you filled the rad, or the gas tank. Way too much, perfect! I love all your content and think you’re an awesome guy!! Keep up all the great revivals.
The trick with the metal rod against the block took me back to being a kid. My grandfather had a machinist friend that made him a screwdriver that was over 3 feet long and I remember him doing the same thing with that. He sure was a great mechanic.
This is the only channel that I can watch video 3 hours long from start to finish without skipping. 100% my favourite channel on YT. Andy from the good old UK!!!
Love you Derek. You are a trooper. A guy can set his watch by you. Thanks for the variety of content. Trucks,tractors,Vettes and Model A's. I guess you can do anything.😎
Hilarious watching him goof with the sediment bowl because working on my antiques I have had the same struggle, after cutting a few of them out you figure out the technique
Oh my! Another Model A! Sweeeet! Great choice. The first one is my favourite episode with the looooong drive home. Thank you! And as some other people say. Take a break anytime you need one. Chris fix took a looong break and nobody from his subscribers care a bit. I think this will be the same here. Thank you for another video!
Derek, my brother in workaholism. Take some time to recover and heal. We love you, your family, and your content. We will be here when you get back ❤ as ever, another awesome video! Love seeing this old rig get up and running!
Nice touch allowing members first--thanks! Congrats on hitting the 2M mark--did you ever think it would grow this big? Thx for keeping them coming!!! Bummer on the engine on this rig. I know you'll get 'er all fixed up one way or another. Thx
A guy needs to listen to what this guy who is a respiratory therapist has to say. You are taking in a lot of mold, mildew and other nasties in those lungs of yours. A guy needs to start taking precautions with these old rigs. Lung infections and fungi are not fun to deal with. They can really make a guy VERY SICK for a long time. If a guy needs to take a break for his health, he needs to do that. A guy has a Jessica and three little humans that he needs to look after and a guy's health is very important.

I helped bring a 1922 from Minnesota to Lower Alabama years ago. It was all original except for HYDRAULIC brakes.. there really is a process of starting these pieces of History. Hand Cranking one is fun! We love your work Brother.
Just for future reference Derek, $5.99 at Tractor Supply you can get a universal sediment bowl gasket/screen kit. If it works for all tractors it has to work for a Model T 😂
Any color as long as it’s black was for Model-T’s. Model A’s came in several color schemes. The knob he’s thinking is the gas is actually the carburetor adjustment. Turn it and it regulates the carburetor to run lean or rich. Pulling the knob chokes it. The fuel shut off is under the dash on the passenger side. I was told you can buy any part for the A model except the fuel tank.
It takes a LOT of self discipline, but my new routine is waiting until Saturday morning to watch the weekly videos. Sausage , biscuits and gravy, lots of good coffee…… the perfect way to start off a good southern Saturday morning!
Some of y'all aint never worked outside in the heat and it shows by your comments. When real feel is over 110 you breathe hard your body is trying to cool down. Add to that rag weed and cotton wood trees pollinating and boom you sound like this. Dude puts in work and keeps us laughing. That's why this is the only person I give money to on UA-cam. BEST CONTENT IF ANY PLATFORM! Better than top gear even.
I’ve worked outside my whole life I can tell all the people who have left negative comments that they should try it for a year or two and then they would change their minds. Here in Mississippi it gets so hot that it will take your breath away
@@mikerobertson2993 South Texas here just wrapping up a work day at midnight because it was a real feel 117 day. 2 weeks ago I spent a couple days in the hospital because my sodium level dropped too much from sweating. Back to work the next week... Still not as bad as throwing hay in the summer when I was a teenager at my grandparents ranch.
My uncle in Alberta Canada had one just like it and as a kid I was able to go on a car rally with him. His was all a original, even the front fenders had been welded cause they would crack right above the tires. His even had factory paint and interior in great shape.
Reminds me of my dad a finlander from the UP. Started driving at 12yrs, and said the old As that they drove, he said he 'd stop along side the road and carefully dropped the pan so as not to lose any oil, and they used pieces of and old belt for crank bearings, He's long gone now but that old thing brings a memory back good luck with it.
Out of all the channels I subscribe to, this is by my absolute favorite. I catch myself waiting for Friday's to unwind, while I watch an upload from you. You're content is so good, that I can't listen in the background, but have to glue my ass down and watch...Thanks Derek!
Whoever did the camera work in this episode did a fantastic job of making the audience feel like we were there. Thank you to them.

Paul Shinn = absolute legend. Wife and I made a 4 day trip in a Model A last fall and it was so much fun! We did about 800 miles and did an oil change in an O'reilly parking lot in the rain. We took all the back roads, nice and easy, minimal highway driving. She planned the route and found a bunch of historical stuff, roadside attractions etc. We stayed in an old hotel where Bonnie & Clyde hung out back in the day. So much fun to unplug and do things a little slower. 10/10 would recommend.
Awesome.
your wife must be a real trooper. mine would be all hell no, you can do that and I'll come get you when you break down.
I would love to do this. No cell phone, no GPS, just the open highway.
Wow, just got a modelA runnin and drivin, from my recliner. Never broke a sweat🤣
Thanks Derek!💪🏽🇺🇲

I was in Perth, WA in 1982. The US Navy was some good times.
The model A was absolutely everywhere. They even built them under license in Russia as the GAZ model AA. Us in Finland made tractors out of a lot of them 😄 (from Fords, not GAZ's)
Leave Derek alone if you can't be nice don't say anything
@@philliprogers7424 This comment was a total compliment dude. You only read the first 3 lines.
@johnnorman1793 cool that you Aussies had/have model T's, but almost equally cool is you had the Beverly Hillbillies!
Gotta tell you I channeled you today while doing brake work. A friend "helping" me cross threaded a fitting in my proportioning valve. I tried several times to fix it before pulling it and retapping the threads. Upon putting it back together I couldn't get the fitting to seat without the flare wrench slipping. I then said I know a guy that knows how to fix it and I grabbed the vice grips. Never fails.
List of all the UA-cam channels I follow where I immediately like the video even before I’ve watched it:
1. VGG
That’s it. That’s the list. The man doesn’t disappoint.
When I heard him say contact, I immediately thought of south main auto.. that or Derek will start venturing into airplanes fixing them and hillbilly flying them home.. It's not so far fetched, it's in his business description airplanes along with the other stuff like cars

Derek, I doubt you’ll see this, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoy any episodes you do involving Model As and cars of that time period. My grandpa was a big fan of your channel and was always telling me about his favorite channel on his iPad. He was an avid model A collector and member of the model A collectors club. Sadly he passed away about 3 weeks before the 1928 Model A you did back in 2022, so he never got to enjoy you working on the cars he loved the most. Seeing this 1930 brings back many memories of him, as his first car was a 1931 four door that my grandma still has.
Definitely want to see a follow-up. See what the noises were. See what the end result is! And PS I've said it off and on over the years. Take care of yourself brother. Please don't burn yourself out. We appreciate you so much!
Another hour long movie. Thanks for the great stuff! Best start to the weekend is a brand new VGG special
Glad you enjoyed it!
Agreed.
Car cruises got rained out, so getting an earlier start watching.
Always appreciate the hard work that goes in to these videos, and I like the variety of content.
It never seems like an hour or more. Derek makes it interesting and funny ❤❤❤
@@ritawilliamson1394 it was crazy watching the almost 3 hour one a couple weeks ago, it didn’t feel like all that time had passed. It really does feel like you’re hanging with a friend just farting around in almost every single video.
I’m sure a camera man makes life easier, and man you deserve it. But this is the second revival in my immediate memory where you used a cameraman. I personally much prefer the lone wolf style of your typical videos. Just my input, I’ll still watch every episode regardless.
I almost assuredly mistaken, but it looks like Bradley might be the cameraman??? I could not tell for sure. Around 3:07 we see someone in shorts and tenny rods holding the camera.
I say this because Bradley might have been running the camera during the Bland National bumper filler episode. It almost appeared that he stepped from behind the camera to help put the rear bumper on.
Just a guy’s observation (not that Guy, this guy over here).
Love all ur content man.. camera crew no camera crew, farming, family stuff, revivals, youtube or road worthy rescues.... its all great!
Man, I'm envious, and I love Double Clutching/Rev Matching down shifts. O'Reilly has the element for the glass filter. Everyone telling you to take a vacation/time off. While they truly are trying to help, they just don't get it, you're doing what makes you happiest.... you're the original "will it run and drive XXX miles home" thx Buddy you're very much appreciated
@speedfreak8200 Yep. There's days that I don't feel like cleaning up cars and dragging them to car shows, but I'm always glad that I did at the end of the day. I've won trophies on some of the days that I've felt the worst doing it. If I had said "fuck it" and stayed in bed, I wouldn't have those trophies. Gotta keep on keepin on, or a guy gets old... 🤷🏻
Hey Derek, I have been binge watching your show for the past four months, starting with Road Worthy Rescues then Vice Grip Garage/Vice Grip Lodge. While watching this episode, it dawned on me you are on the verge of burnout. You are great at what you do. Please take care of yourself.
Nothing better than country roads a model A and some moonshine banjo music... priceless!!!!
Find an old bicycle, inner tuber or car innertube and make a gasket.
I liked the OBD ear stick scan.
Model A rule #1
If it's not leaking it's empty and if it's not making weird noises it's not running😂
Yeah ready sitting there? Bullshit, my 2 year old would of got it running
When I was in high school our family bought a house that used to have a fuel station in the front yard back in the days of the Model A's. when we removed all the stuff they had left behind, out around a tulip tree were 6 of 7 of these old engines just laying around it. they were scrapped... this was in 1978. years later My step dad and the neighbor got into restoring these old cars, all the car parts and such we threw out was the topic of many discussions... lol Great video, thanks for sharing!
Saw the best use for vise grips. Pizza place was using vise grips to carry deep dish pizza pans to the table
Derek/VGG makes this old world a better place. Period. This man and his family deserve everything good that this life could ever offer.
Thanks for the kind words
"I don't think that's normal"😂😂😂😂
@@ViceGripGarage Question, what ever happened with the F100 give away truck? Never heard if it was picked up.
Absolutely. If I’m a little low, I search out a revival I’ve not seen, or sometimes one i have seen! And just enjoy Mr VGG do his thing. The Long Road Home, with music and the odd incident, is life affirming. Extracting a once loved vehicle from its own grave is something else. Thanks Derek. Take care.
Thanks to you and your videos, I just got my dads 57 bel air running and driving. He bought it in 92 and was always too busy to get it going. Thank you Derek
You can't win them all but I'm glad you tried. I know you do a lot of revivals, but its the road trips and problem solving along the way that really make you so captivating. Even if you just bought a running and driving squarebody and road tripped it home the way you do. If its a gem and doesn't throw you curveballs, you could always stop and do a parking lot oil change.
Sorry it didn't work out for you Derek. My Dad just passed about 8 months ago, and we have been getting his 1931 Model A fixed up and ready for sale. He traded his old 31 that had 6V system for another 31 that was converted to a 12V system. Runs like a top. You brought back the memories I had with him working on them. Thanks for that. I hope you can get this one home.
I would love to hear Derek as a voice actor in a cartoon. He's got the voice and the character for it!!! My man is a LEGEND!!!!
Thanks man
Yessir. I tell you what I'm likin that idea.
I could totally hear Derek as 'mater type character or a narrater for the right type of documentary.
Maybe a audio book narrator in the "free" time
The new CARS cartoon move maybe 🤔🤔🤔 .... anyone have a good idea of what kind of car Derek should be in the movie 🎥... Just me but I would like to see him play the rival bad guy car in a NASCAR race DAYS OF THUNDER vibes just because he can't be lightning ⚡ McQueen and it would probably be more fun to play the role so I pick..... Derek as a NASCAR truck....I know trucks and cars don't race together but it's a cartoon it doesn't have to make sense just be fun and funny to watch....
Put a rebuilt Zenith carb & distributor on it & try again. Also, pull manifold, clean up surfaces & put in new gaskets. Does not sound noisey enough for bearing problems, would sound like a concrete mixer if so. That sedan is so nice ...when they sit for years you get many problems but all fixable if time is put in.
From a Derek to a Derek i just want you to know that i so truly appreciate all of your hard work putting out so much content and never lacking in the entertainment department. You are an awesome fella and i genuinely am thrilled ever single revival you do! Thank you much brother!
2 million people subscribed to watch a guy do what he loves. Restores a bit of faith in carburators and tube tires. Congratulations to you and the family, Derek!
In all the years of watching this channel I can only recall a few times where you had to throw in the towel.
You still have a pretty good success rate. Hopefully the new ride gets you back home.
Both old Model A Fords......
Thank you for keeping these cars on the road.

This comment needs to be higher!
@@timarc9895 copied the comment so I could tag VG into it
@@stevebaker5642 could have just tagged him in this comment you made, or realised its his channel so he gets notified on every comment. Good intentions I guess, no harm, but pointless nonetheless.
I think the model A engine can also be swapped to shells, if desired.
Watching Derek struggle with the gas bowl or whatever you call that glass thing with the cork seal he had to make, it reminds me of how difficult such a simple thing would be for me, only I’d be using every curse word in the book and having an absolutely miserable time, questioning why I’m so stupid and everything is so hard for me. Derek, however, is having an absolutely wonderful time. Cracking little jokes, enjoying himself, even as the thing does what things always do; they get a lot more difficult. I wish I could just learn to be happier.
I love it when you carry on conversations with yourself. I don't know why but it is hilarious. I literally laugh out loud. It's not an easy thing to pull of for most people without it sounding contrived. You do it effortlessly and it sincerely sounds like someone having a conversation with another person. Maybe it's because you don't put emphasis where comedians would put it in a comedy routine. It just sounds natural. It's hilarious.
He's a madman! He already did it once and people thought I'm crazy for actually doing it, then my man literally went "now watch me do it again" lol. Love the videos
I grew-up on a farm near Chad's shop, on land that was homesteaded by my ancestors, so really loved the drone shots of the Model A driving down those roads - surely in much the same way as my grandparents and great-grandparents did some 100 years ago. Thank you
Congratulations my friend on making 2 million subscribers. You surely do deserve it buddy.... I say you deserve it because you work so hard through the years to build this wonderful channel and network of gearheads !! 👍
Thanks for the kind words!
@@ViceGripGarage you deserve those words my friend! Just by watching your work ethic. I'm 70 years old and I took my first car engine apart when I was 13 years old..
Derek. We just love what you do buddy. and thank you for the time you spend on making this video. thanks buddy.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
That fuel bowel is kicking you butt. I love it when you are having a conversation with yourself and you have no answer to your question so you look over at the camera and shake it off as in no comment. Obviously I watch alot of your videos. I'm a 62 yr young truck mechanic and really appreciate what you do.
Well you got that black A model running so I will see if you can get'er home.
Good luck. Easy does it
51:52 I like how the camera man was trying to stay quiet when he whispered to you "I think it was" lol. The true hero there, second set of eyes always helps a ton.
Ha! Thank you for pointing out this easter egg. I would have never heard it otherwise.
I'm wondering if hes the same cameraman from the O'Reilly Cadillac? I hope so.
I’ve played that about 5 or 6 times and I Can’t.Hear.Nothin’!
(Please read in Derek’s voice) 😂
@@528Circle It's a whisper, so you got to crank up the volume a bit to hear it. Headphones may be best. Looks like you got to give it a few more tries for a fellar to hear it.
@@RLTango I wonder if it is.. he's got their shirt color!!
Yeah I heard it.
Derek, what you may not know about Model A's is, that when the gearshift is in 3rd gear, you can grab the gearshift with both hands and pull straight up. You will feel it notch in a knuckle that allows the gearshift to be now swung up and away towards the passenger side, against the dashboard. This was to allow more room for the middle passenger in the front on longer drives. It was a standard feature. And yes that temp gauge on the rad cap does work, and the red mercury can be seen by the driver in the danger zone. The ones with screw caps could be turned towards the driver.
9N, 2N, 8N, and Jubilees, NAA Ford tractors do the same thing for easy mounting the tractor seat.
Hay D'man always love your videos and shows and let me say sorry for not watching it sooner but i been so busy and out of every popular mechanics on here you guys are my #1 and that guys definitely right about your lugs and health!!!!!
Derek, just a small tip. Cut little strips of sandpaper and keep them in the file side of your Leatherman. When you work on anything with points, you got sandpaper available 👍
Hope he sees this. Will start doing this myself from now on. What a tip. Thanks!
Top tip. 🙃
leatherperson already has a decent xhatch file on it for when you need.
No one deserves 2 million more than the kind fellers at VGG busting their backs day and night to make sure we always have some high quality comedic content to watch for the weekends. Keep up the hard work VGG looking forward to future videos.

Derek might be the most patient mechanic that has ever lived. I learned all of my profanity from my step dad winging tools and parts across his home shop, and the yard, when he would bring home work for the weekend.

Derek,
First off, your vids are pretty sweet. I'm always happy when I open UA-cam and see the notification for new content. That being said: your "Will it Run" videos are hands down my favorite, but you're giving away the "Will it Run" part in the intro. Several recent videos show a quick clip of the car driving down the road within the first 15 seconds. I understand there's calamities along the way, but it's a HUGE spoiler. OK! Either way, keep up the great content!
My Dad Had a 32 with The Flathead V8. He said the starter died and could not afford to replace it so He would Jack the left rear wheel up off the ground and spin start it.
That's awesome!
Actually, the first time I saw any of your videos, I thought to myself, not my type of video. Then your channel showed up again, and I was hooked. Now, after hundreds of videos. I look up VGG and South Main Auto. You remind me of how my life was growing up helping my dad at his shop. This video hit home when I was ten a neighbor came to me and asked if I could help him start a Model A it was so cool that afternoon when it started and we went for a ride. Derrick, congratulations on your 2 million subscribers. I was really hoping to watch your ride back home. Thank you, your boys and Jessica. It's got too hard for them to be gone for the videos. God bless and prayer's sent. I saw a video of you in Los Lunas, New Mexico. This is my stomping ground. I wish I could have seen you.
Thank you again Derek for another entertaining video hope to see the follow up to this be interested to that little engine stripped down, that's when you have a spare minute ,GO HARD but take some time off we all love watching what you get up to.
Thank you for giving us 110% every week Derek. I appreciate your work ethic and ability follow through no matter what.
That was the right move Derek. I know you live to drive 700 miles on 40 quarts of oil, but not today. I did enjoy the road trip footage getting to your buddies place. I'll just rewind that a bunch of times and call it 700 miles. Thanks for taking me along. I always enjoy!
Appreciate you keeping it real and showing how not every project immediately works out. Takes time, patience and a lot of effort. Keep doing what you're doing! Thanks
Nice to see all the people that are worried about Dereks well being! Nothing but love for a fella
Stopping by to make sure and like and comment for the algorithm along with watching from beginning to end especially because I saw some guy complaining about you rescuing this one on Facebook. This is your channel, keep doing you. Thanks for taking us along.
Great VIDEO VGG and Content as usual Keep Em Coming
I’d like to get one of these at some point. I love these cars. This is actually the exact type I want. It even has the door orientation I want.
Well, it happens! Sometimes (rarely) a feller can't drive one home. But it goes to show what a miraculous trip you had with the first Model A!!!
TWO MILLION SUBS! So proud to support a channel like yours Derek. Cheers for the incredibly hard work you all put in. Really love the Model A vidjas
You should connect with Hand Tool Rescue... he's all about the Babbit Bearings!
As a 30 year Model A owner, I appreciate you and Paul Shinn for making Model A's cool again. They can be easily toured if they are in good mechanical condition. Went on a tour to the Gilmore Museum in Michigan for Model A days. We covered over 100 miles. It's a great way to see back roads and scenery that you miss being on highways/Interstates.
Check out the T-bums in Oregon, serious old-timers going out in to the remote woods offroading in around 100year old model-T's...

@@jimhouse9961 brain fart lol my bad
Any color as long as it’s black was for Model-T’s. Model A’s came in several color schemes. The knob he’s thinking is the gas is actually the carburetor adjustment. Turn it and it regulates the carburetor to run lean or rich. Pulling the knob chokes it. The fuel shut off is under the dash on the passenger side. I was told you can buy any part for the A model except the fuel tank.
