Driving a 1973 Duster to the NEW shop in Tennessee! (Bought Sight Unseen)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I bought this Duster from Dylan McCool without ever seeing it in person. He was kind enough to hold it for me for over 6 months - but now it's time to fire it up and drive it to the new shop in TN! Think it will make it?

Glad to see her go to a new home! You’re always welcome back any time 👍🏻
Won't lie, that red Thunderbird in the field is looking mighty tempting.
I watched you're Challenger videos
Speaking of the red ford. Would you be willing to sell the passenger side mirror.
man i was thinking the same thing about the thunderbird
@@Revvedupmontana he was giving it away to a viewer
I’m disabled and bedridden and your videos are literally a lifesaver! THANKYOU Derrick and family
need a web friend im bob im disabled too

Sending you good vibes.
You might want to have a peek at Sleeperdude channel.
I have Parkinson's and can no longer work and don't really get out anymore. They took my license away so I sold my beloved Grand Marquis a few years ago. I'm stuck at home from here-on but as long as we have a good computer with a decent internet connection we can still "travel" and see the world. Don't know how much longer I will retain my abilities but I'm thankful for channels like this because this is how some of us are still able to experience the world.
Years from now that kid of yours will be so thankful for the time spent with dad. Great video and content!
a great find! You have a knack for finding cars & trucks that need some TLC, your skill sets are diverse & although you have a great sense of humor you're a serious mechanic. I'm 73 & have been working on used cars since 1964. I wish I had your skill sets and knowledge. Enjoy the end results, just get'em running and looking OK. Keep it going
When I see that Duster, it just reminds me of Al Bundy's Dodge. Keep saving the classics Derek, I love it. 👍🏽👍🏽
Searched for this.. Als duster is the iconic american car.
😆 Yep, it does look like Al's. 🍻
Al Bundy had the fancier version.
“Hey you want to go swing through that car wash?” ….”Absolutely!”….“Think it’ll leak???” ….“YES!”…..the kid is wise beyond his years, LOL!
He's his father's son without a doubt! You watch how his kids behave and act and you just know what a great dad he is.
Dad you remember that blue Chevy :D
Those kids have the best grounding any kids could wish for, couple that to a fantastic Mum & Dad and they've got all they need to see them successfully thru life 👍👍👍
26:18 HE NEEDS MORE SOAP!
if you haveta ask, you know the answer
you know a guy wasn't feeling very well today just down in the dumps then he saw VGG new post and every thing got better thank you sir
Same
Same here too
I know, right?
That’s usually when a new video goes up lol
Im right along with you fellers Trying to keep my marriage and life together it's great to see a VGG
I love a slant six. They are not as glamorous as some of the other Mopar mills, but there is just something comforting about them.
Those wheels really make the car!!
All muscle cars look best with thick Rubber, Steelies, and Moon Caps.
It's a 225...should be equipped with the stock wheels and tires.
@@karguy1720 keep the wheels and tires and swap in a nice 360. 👍
find a old 400 and Stroke ita
@@tundrasr5709 Or maybe a motorhome 440?
First thought, "huh, that looks like Dylan McCool's place."
Next frame dylanmccool walks in.
I have no idea who Dylan is--but I hope this cross-pollination does not continue...Derek is too unique to share a spotlight with anyone else.
Curbozer Boomer check out Dylan's UA-cam channel then. Dylanmccool
@@curbozerboomer1773 They've worked together a few times in the past. Dylan seems like a good down to earth guy and I've been subbed to his channel for a bit.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Including Dylan McCool in any product only serves to make it better.
It’s crazy how I stumbled across McCool and them that led to VGG then I found thunderHead and junkYard. Great to watch all y’all grow and save these classics. From the plain Jane to the high roller. Keep it up

Sleeperdude is one of my new fav's out of Tennessee
Man Iowa has the junkyard dawg and thunderhead.. but Tennessee now has the superhero due of Derek Cold Snacks and Dylan McCool…😳
@@justinphillips6136 Tennessee also has Vtuned and Goonsquad js
@@xxxterm thanks. I’ll check them out also.
There are very few channels that I can watch with my grandkids,thanks for being one of those! Love you,Buddy.
Dylan and Derek together in the same scene is a dangerous level of awesomeness
Who is Dylan?
@@mediocreman2 Dylan McCool - the guy who sold him the car in the video.... Did you even watch it?
Hope the move and everything else continues to go smoothly
Yeah! That you car trailer, the one with 40 million cars on it, going to Tennessee?
Always love to see a guy bring home a new ride.
Best tuber on the air.
Had a El Camino in Vermont and never got stuck in snow or mud. No wipers in it. Whenever inclement weather arrived we would be looking through the mosaic window through the duration. Gained new appreciation for little things. Like wipers!!
Had a 73 Dart as my first car. Wish I still had it. Oil around spark plug is because there is an aluminum tubular insert in the head surrounding the spark plug with a rubber seal (like a square cut o-ring). Few people replace the seals, so they harden and leak. The end of the insert also gets extruded out by the spark plug, so it is best to use the round end of a ball peen hammer to dress the hole where the spark plug goes through back square or slightly concave when looking down on the tapered end so that the insert squishes the seal into the head when the spark plug is tightened.
In Tennessee? Love the volunteer state. That state now is home to two of my favorites wrenchers. Congratulations on the new shop 👍
When Derek said “Ya getting hungry?” I felt that.
When he said that I was like "Yes, yes I am and there's a pizza waiting for me downstairs." and a few moments later Derek is at Pizza Hut buying a pizza. What a coincidence.
Derek out here reminding me that I have a pound of pizza dough in the fridge and a big jar o' sauce that I just got; eat well tonight y'all
i got up and got a snack
Yep sent me to the microwave to make crackers, american cheese slices & Marmite! Mmmmm!
Well I'm just tickled pink to have the dynamic car duo of Dereck and Dylan in one video. You both are national treasures and I love every video I watch from both of you. Thank you
I'm so excited to have you on the east coast!!!!! Please keep us informed of places you will be so we can come see your events!!!
i had a 1972 valiant 4 door, with all drum brakes, which when wet, wouldn't stop for all the beans in boston!
SERIOUSLY.... I'LL NEVER KNOW HOW I MADE IT THROUGH 51 YEARS WITHOUT VGG - FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!! THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS DEREK!
56 here - same.
66 year old gal found VGG while my husband had leg amputated 2 times, and in hospital, physical therapy and nursing home for 11 months straight. When I showed him VGG, he was hooked. We have no TV, so our entertainment is UA-cam and DVD's. Thanks for the great times!
This beauty is the same age as me.
Hard to believe we are ,48 this year.
I grew up around two things that made my life whole... Music and cars.
Both a massive influence in my life.
Glad that this old lass was saved..
She deserves another go at life.
54 and for the UK, really love Derek, his family and the entertainment whilst possible learning something but probably not !
Me too. I turn 52 today (happy birthday to me) and found VGG about 2 years ago. Could easily be a regular cable show with millions of viewers
"I immediately take that back" 22:13 hahaha I think I have went back and watched every vice grip garage video now! the best content! I could watch and listen to derek all day long. My dad used to always talk about a 1970 plymouth duster so that has always been my dream car! I really hope to own one some day
Welcome Home to Tennessee! I'm sure that you will miss paying State income tax and all the other expenses doing business that you enjoyed up North, but we are glad to have you and your family here Sir.
Say what you will, but our higher tax rates bring us pretty great health care and education here in Minnesota. Tennessee is great - lovely place to go to college, as I did - but there are some serious trade offs to every state, frankly.
Sorry you have left Minnesota/Wisconsin, Derek. May health, happiness and good fortune follow you and yours always!
What is up with the 20 dollar car wash? That's crazy!! I have never heard of that, you get the super deluxe around here for up to 8 bucks.
@@Wizzardgirl not how that works but whatever higher taxes will not give you better healthcare! Only shitcare socialist trash healthcare which isn’t worth a fuck!
This sound like some "Bless Your Heart" right here.😂👍
@@Wizzardgirl Well Bless your Yankee heart. We get more and more transplants from up north every year. And I'm 99.8726% sure it ain't the Healthcare they are runnin from.
"Remember that one time...." Oh the wholesome memories you've made for your kids. Priceless.
*I member* 🍇
About 20 years ago my wife and I were just married, dirt poor, and livin on love. I had a 74 duster with a 225 and a 4 speed. The 225 burned about as much oil as gas. I had just got done building a 75 and a 76 with a buddy. I had plenty of left over goodies from almost a year of junkyard pillaging. I was aching to put a 340 in it. I had one with a big ol thermoquad, a k frame, a set of subframe connectors, a set of headers that were actually right for the car...the whole nine yards. Mrs didnt want me to make our duster into a go go buggy that she couldnt drive. Anyway we had the road trip from hell. 5 flats, had to put diodes in the alternator, ignition box went out, you know...regular stuff. About 20 miles from the home 20 the lower rad hose exploded. I stopped, looked under the hood, saw the mess, shut the hood and drove on. It got so hot I locked it up. Three times. I fully intended to stick a piston so hard that Id break a rod. When it finally stuck so hard that it wouldnt break loose in overdrive, we were about a mile from her uncles house who really enjoyed his sudsy beverages. We got there, and he enjoyed about another case of suds and we rounded up a chain to drag it off the highway before dark. When we got to the car it had cooled off and for the fun of it, i hit the key and it fired right off. He carried me to town, I stopped at old Reilly's and got a hose, went back and put it on and filled it with water and drove it home.
We drove that car for another couple years until a drunk sideswiped it. I never smoked, never knocked, and just ran like a top.
Maybe you need to get it hot enough to lock up....never know.
Lovely story!
Amazing the extent to which certain cars just fix themselves.
I must say, dude, you put out some of the best videos on this stuff. And when you said something about the "animal" on the fender and the red wasps I got to thinking that eventually your gonna have a hilarious video where you get lit up by some...well...them weird animals and red bugs, 😂. Great old Duster.
Welcome to TN! What a coincidence I just found your channel yesterday. I'm in the northern part above Nashville, but have a lot of friends in Lewisburg. If yer shop is ever open to the public, I'll have to drop by. Glad ta have ya!
"Why are these hornets red?"
Welcome to the South, Derek. You're about to meet a LOT of insects here. Just wIt til you meet the moths that are as big as your face.
Not to mention the spiders….😬
Gotta love swarms of mosquitos that you swear could carry off a cow. And biting flies and buffalo gnats. I think some bug sprays just make them horny.
@@n84434 Gotta have big spiders to tackle those big moths!
@@billyhill2488 Just throw the can at em. They wont see that comin
@@n84434 My house is made of spiders... No, I'm not kidding... Species of spiders unknown to science here in SW Virginia
'73 Duster with a Slant 6 engine...my second car when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories!
Oh, yeah...remember not to whip that car around some corner with any kind of speed. Those things were tail heavy. Great car for drifting training before that was ever a thing.
Solid Motor!
I had 70 Duster 6 - 3 sp. And three 1971 Dodge Demon's ! 318 - 3 on the floor, one 340 - 4 speed, factory Hurst, hood pins, rear spoiler , Mopar Man ! Great Video!
VGG: “Why are the hornets red”
Me and the rest of us southerners: You gon learn today ol’ son
red wasp yeah sorta bad, but the german yellow jacket found in east central Indiana is 10 times worse.....
Wait till he discovers humidity, mosquitoes and dog pecker gnats.
Those old slant 6s might go through oil like Grant went through Richmond, but they'll keep on running. A feller had a 74 Duster once upon a time and she was a good old car.
I had an old rotted out 77 dodge van .slant 6. 3 on the tree ..Drove that ole girl from ohio to Tampa bay Fl. Then back to Ohio then back to Tampa bay .then drove her 1 year in Fla before scrapping her
Yeah, the red wasps are worse.
Kinda nice to see these two gentlemen working together. Two of the nicer guys I've seen on UA-cam.
Mopar! Stick a 340 in the Duster. Hope to see more Mopars and AMCs in the future.
Derek. You're a true talent really like your content. Smart and funny. I'm a TN guy 50 mls east of Nashville
Today my vocabulary was expandulated to the ninth degree. I heard questions asked that can never be answered and learned answers to questions I never thought to ask.
I feel ensparklified by the aura of a zen master.

Yea the sparkalators and ice cube juice cracked me up
Welcome, your in for a ride...
I only have a two word review for this comment…
*FAC* - *TREE*
Derek, I was just wondering if anyone at any of the many O-O-O-O’Reilly’s stores where you’ve bought stuff has ever recognized you?
I'm pretty sure it happens 57,849 % of the time....
He and WatchJRGo need to do a TV commercial for them
@@JerryDLTN No, just Derek, the most entertaining guy on UA-cam 👍👍
Keep doing what you're doing, this stuff is gold.
Cop brakes, cop tires, cop suspension, cop cigarette lighter- sounds like a car from the Blues Brothers movie.
We may never know if Vice Grip Derek traded for a microphone.
@@vectorm4 Or some glue on the accelerator.
Does it have a do-nut holder?
Correction the cigarette lighter didnt work in the bluesmobile
@@michaelmckinney5541 did his duster come with one?
Bleep bloop love to see the fm converter working and the wipers, radio,signals, tighten up the power steering box adjustment on the typerwrighter keys
I always enjoy watching you get some of them ol vehicles a going. there's nothin better or more fun than tinkering on some of the classics.
Love watching you bring things to life, you remind me of my late father who had a passion for cars. Keep doing what your doing brother
Now that you have moved south, You are going to find that A/C becomes more important than working brakes!
Truer words have never been spoken!!!!
Preach
A friend of mine told me a story once. His buddy had the mentality of "A/C? That's what windows are for." Well, one day the two of them were driving through VA through a heavy rain storm. It was 103° and there was no difference between having the windows down or up. They were sweating that bad.
I absolutely love that Satellite/Road Runner in the background. Unlike most Mopar guys, I've always leaned more to the Satellite.
Watching Derek work on old cars when you have no power from a windy rain maker is like therapy. Love the journey fam.
Now that a feller is darn near neighbors with Uncle Tony, I look forward to some collabs in the future. He knows his way around a mopar or 11 too.
When I heard "slant six" I immediately thought of Uncle Tony.
Dylan McCool: "The warranty's up as soon as you drive past the barn."
Come on, Dylan - at least let him get to the 1st stop sign, LOL!
What if Tennessee doesn’t have stop signs 😿
"Bumper to bumper warranty" - covers only from front bumper to rear bumper when it goes over the curb
Curb and gutter warranty. You you hit the curb you gutter
@@bandit_1879 thats a new one! 😉
Way back in time I got to drive a '72 Duster from Washington state to Kansas. The ol' slant six kept on going. That was right about the time that unleaded became the only gas available, that thing wanted to run hot on that stuff, leaded, no issues. We made it. Ah, the memories,
Hmmmm... Derek, I'm thinking leaving it in it's current Sleeper PJ's but transplanting a 383 Magnum (w/ a 4-speed or torqueflite) in there! Oughtta be really fun!!!! Cool car!
Hello Dr. Lee!
Ah, listen to the Doc there Derek. He's a wise man. Lol. Hey Doc! 👋
Great idea!
Hey Doc. Fancy seeing you here.
Well, howdy Dr. Lee! I agree, as long as it’s a manual transmission!
Every Dodge and Plymouth I ever owned, the starter sounded just like that but never, ever had to change one. Seriously.
Yup 👍🏻 They “ All” sound like that. The bendix is weird, like the keys 🔑 on Mopars. Don’t even get me started on the Heat Riser noises 😫😫😫. That 6 really surprises me. They’re 99 .3649 % indestructible and will run long after the body and frame fall off. Guess the little ol lady from Pasadena, beat her to death..
They sound like that because they're a gear reduction starter. Pretty stout unit but over-advanced ignition timing would destroy the gears every time. The housing that the battery cable attached to is phenolic and would break easily when tightening the cable nut. I replaced many of them BITD.
@@jamiemorgan4146 Back when I was a senior in high school, for a time, the only thing I had to drive was my dad's old orange Dodge conversion van. Shag wall-to-wall carpet included. Seemed it would take the longest to crank but alas, it always did. Thankfully my '01 Grand (non-conversion) Caravan cranks and runs smooth even at almost 245k Miles. However, I have a question for you. I recently had an A/C clutch bearing clunking so I had clutch, etc replaced. I still have a residual noise. Any ideas please?
You should listen to the whine of my Hudson starter. It scared the heck out of me every time still, but it never lets me down!
That dredged up some old memories! I had a 1971 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe and about every eight months, like clockwork, the starter would go out. Great car otherwise.
Love those slant 6"s, had a few Valiants over the years in Australia, pretty hard to kill these motors. New shop looks great.
My 1st car was a VE Valiant station wagon with the "225 ci slant" in front of a "3" speed box with > Colom shifting goodness !
Yeah ! those were teh day's ;)
Aussies sure know what to do with the /6’s too! In the European US-car scene people call them boat anchors mostly. It’s such a waste as these engines can perform when treated the right way. Perform AND be bulletproof!
Impossible to kill!
Best mopar motor ever made! You can't kill them (hardly).
My first car was a 67 Dodge (bought in 69) Dart 225 with auto trans. Had it for years and couldn't kill it. Finally took it up to Brown's junkyard when somebody gave me a Chevelle. The guys at the junkyard drove the Dodge around the 40 acres of dirt, picking up parts for years after that. Great car.
My late Dad was a car person...he always has a Ford truck and a souped up car...he had a 1973 Duster a green color...it was something else...my Dad let me...his daughter drive it on Fridays to high school...when I pulled in the parking lot I caught all the attention.....and I was the shyest girl in high school...thanks Dad for helping to get me out of my shell
Those red wasps hurt extra good. They tend to get really aggressive in the fall. If you are going to live in TN, be prepared to deal with them. They always build their nests up inside of things, never in the open like the regular wasps.
Those red wasps are the worst!
They a lot more aggressive than the black ones.
Those rear wheels sure look cool, give the car a great stance misleading onlookers into thinking there's something more potent under the hood. Great video, great to see the little fella riding alongside ya. Car wash was hilarious, "...is there a human being?".....ha, ha!
Ya know, he could just add a terbski. What could go wrong?
Hey Derrick, Thanks again to you and the family, for continuing to provide, awesome tips, and entertainment as you continue on, with what you do BEST! And here is a tip for those times when your bringing THUNDER and getting a Vehicle on the road and back home in the rain without working wipers. SKIP the RAIN-X and pull under a gas station pump shelter dry the windows down good with some of them free paper towelettes they usually provide with the windshield washer gadget tank a majigs, that they Zip tie to the support beams, and get yourself a small or regular size container of turtle wax or house brand wax, and rub it on the windsheild, side windahs and rear windah, but stay a few inches off the chrome window strips, and then wait for a good 5 mins, and then use some good Ol' elbow grease gunners you got there, to take off the wax and polish it to crystal clear shine and I swear, the rain will bounce and dance like Shirley Temple in a tap dance recital off all them windars and not a drop will stick to it, found this tip out one time on my second hand 70 Chevelle, when giving her a bath and a wax job. A big dallop flew off the rag and landed on the window so I wiped it up and polished it off the window so I decided to do the other side, Man oh Man I did not have to use my wipers for good 6 months, no lie, but did get a whole heck of a lot of honks from oncoming vehicles as their lights bounced off my windshield too like the rain and may have bright spotted them I guess, cause I did not have my high beams on as I would always check.. thinking that is why them maybe honking at me, LOL! Take Care and Keep a firm grasp of your vice grips and a steady hand on the wheel, while putting the life back in them older cars, trucks and occasional oddities you find in your vehicle hunts, and buying sight unseen adventures!!
Nice looking Duster. Nice that a feller will take his son along once in awhile. I'm sure he really enjoyed spending time with Dad.
Very cool brought back many memories of car hunts and finds. The joy and terror of road trips home. Great to involve the family as well.
I used to love these bring um home road trips. I wouldn't do it anymore today, the cops are just dying to hang you out to dry anymore for every little thing, every little bulb you name it🙄
Do i see a VGG and UTG collab in the future?! Uncle Tony is the man when it comes to moper's and especially those slant six's. Fun fact, they'll run of 2 cylindro's don't ask me how i know...
So glad you moved to Tn! Best state ever!!!!
Man does a guy sure love this progrim!!!! I recently discovered this absolute gem and brother I'm luvin it! I honestly thought I was the only one that bought new tools for every project lol!!!!!!
Neat Duster, had a '74 just like it, over time , ditched the single barrel and swapped a header and small four barrel, ran much better. upgraded the brakes, stock ones were unreliable, and restored the A/C. Drove that car for 5 years before selling it to a collector. Was cheap, reliable and decent on gas, 19 around town and 24 on the highway. Valves were tricky to keep quite and it used up a lot of valve cover gaskets , otherwise, mostly just oil changes.
I think my 225 had a Holley 1 bbl, I purchased a new carb and put it on, it ran WAY worse, the parts store had no more in stock to swap out, so my dad said, take the new carb apart and see whats up, turns out those long jet needles on the power valve had not been inserted in the jet holes and were bent sideways, I used the needles from my old carb and sent the bent needles back in the core. Car ran perfect after that. Gotta do what you gotta do.
@@vernonbosshard9317 Ran into the same situation when I swapped my carb. Finally ended up using parts from both, and over time, it started cold, hot and ran fantastic, Even with the A/C it eventually got around 20 mpg, and even drove it on several long trips. Drove it to Daytona Beach one year from Chattanooga TN. Eventually traded it for a pickup.
“ Starter sounds like a dying dolphin”! Yes, I remember my Chevy and Ford buddies making fun of my Dodge starting at the local Burger Joint! That is until it started and the 440Magnum R/T fired up! 😝
Mopar starters sort of 'laugh' at you.
the "Highland Park Hummingbird" Chrysler gear-reduction starter always sounded like this to me: "No, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no"
@@garysimonson9593 Actually was the Hamtramck Hummingbird.
Glad you made the move to the South, now that you're closer, hope to see you the 16th through the 18th of this month at The Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge!
I heard rod run was permanently canceled after last years bullshit?
@@lonewolftech Nope, went on as scheduled! State Troopers, County officers, City Officers, Police from other surrounding Counties joined in cracking down on the BS! Was a great one this time!
Thanks, buddy! You bring back my childhood every time I view! I just wish I had 1/10 of your patience!
No dissing on that "Tower of Power! Those were good and reliable engines.

I'm excited to see you're sticking with the original format. Starting and driving these cars home is why I watch the show. Love it.
I agree 100% vinster888 he's a great guy doing great things 👍
The Chinese carburetor, with the wrong linkage arm, and God knows what for jetting, is hopeless. Lashing the valves and swapping the spark plug tube O-rings would be a good start, as would checking to see if that Lokar cable kickdown junk is working.
I used to Work at a shop in Harvest, AL just up the street from Butter and Egg Road. I Have had that car in our shop before with lots of pictures of it. what a Trip to find you Driving her 'round.
A reman (340-cid ,6 pack would go Nice under that Hood
When you said, "Twenty dollars.....could I get sixteen back, please?" I thought to myself, that's just about what I say every time I go out to eat or go to the grocery store.... Love it! 😂😂
The look of terror in the car wash was Priceless! Good show, as always!
Hello Derek,
good luck with your new location,we wish you and your family the best. another great video,thank you for sharing.
It’s always good seeing a kid hang out with his dad. It’s amazing how much a kids learns at that age. Steal trap memories.
@Gappie Al Kebabi I’ve never meet Derek, but he seems like a pretty stand up kind of guy.
Steel* brother.
It’s ok bro, not all men are like that. I get much more inspiration from guys far away, then I get from those close to me (logically anyway)
Is this sadist, rapest dude talking from experience? Go see a therapist
You can tell the little fella respect the older fella.
Going to be a lot of "remember that one time we broke down" in those little humans life.... Perfect.
AAhhh, the good old days when, if you dropped a tool in the engine bay, it clanked, rattled, and fell on the ground. Or, it would end resting on some part of the frame or suspension where it could be seen and easily retrieved. Tools (and or parts) dropped in the bays of the new cars seem to disappear into another dimension.
True. I installed a new battery in the wife's car recently, and it cost me an extra ten bucks to replace my 10 mm combo wrench that fell into the Bermuda triangle. I spent half an hour looking for it. Then went as far as to remove the belly pan in order to try to get my wrench back and show that Nissan who's boss. We all know how that turned out.

Know a guy and his wife that flew to California on vacation. Seen a 1972 dodge duster. Not running. Bought for $800. Tuned up. Fuel pump, fuel filter,spark plugs and a set of used tires. Even got the AC working for the trip home. Pulled a pulp fiction and put blankets on the old bench seats. Drove 2000 miles home. Wife thought he was crazy. 🤪 Till two years later when car was fixed up and painted. He drove his wife a their newborn baby boy home from the hospital. Every car has a story. Stories help preserve old cars. 👍
"Cop suspension, cop brakes, cop tires..."

You flip as many of these cars as your wife demands, don'tcha Derek?😂 I love that you had the owner on this one. History n' such.👍
Edit: Derek, you are so SOOOO close to Precision Transmission in Austin, TX now. A UA-cam superstar crossover in the making, man. Richard knows EVERYTHING about transmissions.💪
Well was looking forward to a guy getting his first exposure to southern culture. Well done Dylan, you did him right in just a couple of sentences. Don't forget to save on that ol bacon grease Derek. Sonebody will tell you what to do with it later.
VGG is gonna love our wonderful humidity. After several heat strokes and completely dehydrating you’ll be just fine.
Eh, at least the winters will be a little milder than Minnesota, won't be freezing off the family jewels with -30 in January. LOL But he should have moved out here to Colorado when summers and winters aren't so bad, and little to no humidity. Only problem, we're a blue state. :-(

"Cop brakes, cop tires, cop suspension, all the good stuff." It must've been a Blues Mobile.
I wonder how that all fit on a duster none of my diplomat cop car parts fit my duster except my 318 and 727 man it made that lighter car fly
Yeah I just went right to the Bluesmobile
With a 225 6 popper!
@@vincesarmento4854 had to be that special 225 slant 6 police interceptor I've heard so little about till this car maybe that's why Roscoe could never catch those Duke boys even when they were in Cooter's tow truck
@@davidwoermansr 🤣👍👍
Fantastic I was just looking for a new vice grip video!
i have a 1975 dodge dart with a 340. i love my old dodge and will never ever get rid of it.i have had it for 30years already.
Was that a Blues Brothers reference? "It's got cop suspension, cop brakes, cop tires"......Where's my DVD.
And it runs on regular gas....
@@Blazer02LS lol
...it needs a cigarette lighter!
It's hilarious the finally came out with a new hot rod garage....many blue brother references in the episode. And then I watched this and well...I'll be dipped
What happened to the caddy? I traded it for a microphone. Oh, I can see that.
Since you’re in TN now, a collab with Uncle Tony’s Garage on that 225 would be fun to watch. @Uncle Tony’s Garage
My thought whe I saw the car was uh oh. Utg missed out. But maybe he has a spare 4bbl intake for it. A guy never knows hahahaha.
I don't like vids where people from two channels get together. Neither person acts like themselves, they're afraid of crowding out the other or something, when I want to see Vice Grip Garage I don't need any 'special guests' from other channels. Just my .02
Those old 225 slant engine runs for ever
That red bug you saw is called a Wasp, nasty little fella's, welcome to the South! My dad had a Coronet with that same color interior, talk about ugly! It gets worse the more you look at it. Another great video man!
That Tennessee humidity is going to kill you. We’re made for cold weather 😹
Yup, both Derek and Jessica are going to have to change their thermostats! We have antifreeze in our blood.
Just wait until it "snows" and the resulting calamity.
@@cadman10000 If you mean snowing in Tennessee than yes, it is a calamity! I drove through a snow storm from Nashville to Asheville back in 2001. It was flurries all the way. I know I was driving the speed limit and was in and out of traffic the entire stretch. Everyone else were freaking out and driving at a snails pace. The snow wasn't even sticking to the road. Stopped at Carl's Jr. for a bite on top of the mountain and were about to head south to Asheville. That's when the snow really piled up. I was stuck in traffic for 7 1/2 hours parked on the freeway while the snow maybe got to 2". That's just a little dusting here in Minnesota! Good times.
@@PaulyOutdoors I didn't think we had any Carl's Jrs . They call them Hardees in the South .
@@patrickbrannonsr.6730 It probably was Hardee's. I get confused sometimes in my old age. This was 20 years ago and many MANY whobble pops and cold snacks in between the years........so probably not 100% sure.
AWESOME TO SEE YOU 2 GUYS TOGETHER....MOPAR 4 EVER.
Now, that there Gold Duster is looking fine 🙂 Love the wheels and tires!
Now THAT rig HAS some interesting potential 🤔
No reason a guy and a feller who sold a guy the car, couldn't do some of that there collaboratative presentational cinematic imagery 😎
Makes little sense, Derek does not need any cross-pollination in his videos--he is too unique for that.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Maybe he's moving so it's easier for him and the family to collaborate with others?
Derek IS unique. So is Dylan McCool. Matt Cariker too. But they all get better views collaborating with other UA-camrs.
There weren't many UA-camrs in Minnesota to collaborate with Derek and his channel, in the direction he wanted to take it. And it's a lot closer to the Freedom Factory... A race track owned by a UA-camr.
Derek and the Family made the right decision.
Nice going to town rig . Fix on old Dusty and you got a good grocery catcher. Maybe a good project car for the boys . Easy for them to work on.
Great car ! Glad you and the little guy both made it home safely and dry !! 👍
You might want to try the wet sink plunger trick to get the dent out of that rear right quarter panel otherwise its going to be the weld & pull technique :)
I see you are a "behind the ole' parts house" kinda mechanic. a true man of culture.
Knowing Derek's wife is more than likely always with him on these revivals it just goes to show how good of a woman, wife and mother she is, supportive to the very end.
I disagree, she isn't supportive of him.. they are a singular entity, a team, and if you look close you'll realize every video, every car, every project they release videos of is very much what their family does to make a living. He could not exist without her, and she could not exist without him. At least not in the context of the life they have chose for themselves.
@@b.c4066 Could you, for the sake of all humanity, get a life. Thank you.
@@psychozebra8802 hey I was gonna say that.
@@b.c4066 Only you would read my comment, disagree and make my exact comment.
@@b.c4066 I just wish you’d shut up already.. 😂
Welcome to the Volunteer state to you and your beautiful family. We're better off for having ya'll here. I hope the boys adjust well. Be sure to check out all the car shows, or as we call them...rod runs, in Pigeon Forge. The biggest used to be "Shades of the past" (was limited to 54' and older in the actual show part, but may not be that way now) and the biggest was called "the Grand run". These were in the second and third weekend in September back when I would go. I don't know if they still have the same names, but the extra 100k extra people in town says they still do shows for sure. The best thing was if you were from out of town you could do two huge shows for the price of one weeks vacation. They have/had them in the spring too, but they never were as big. Shows happen all summer long for various groups/clubs/or types of cars. Everything from Jeeps, F100s, low riders, motorcycles and even to my cousin's shows. He does two a year for us VW people. It's called "Circle yer wagens". They are small by comparison, but large for an air cooled vw show now days. Anyway, glad to have you guys here with us. You are all most welcome. I hope you find it to be just what you all were looking for. Thanks for all the great content, the great lessons and showing the world how to be a great father and husband!
I've heard of the Arkansas Guarantee. If the car falls in two, you get to keep both halves.
LMAO. That's the guarantee I got with my first car..
Derek has bought every rusty vintage car in minessota so he’s had to relocate to fresh pastures
Escaping high MN taxes?
That market is definitely thriving here in Tennessee trust me 😂 honestly I'm glad we have someone to save them all from their grass prison it always makes me sad seeing the rust away like that
Not as much rust, the further south you go...
@@davelowets Tennessee is an exception it pisses rain twice a week here
@@treyrhodes163 Still not the road salt rot from up north. Rain's nothing compared to road salt for 5 months out of the year.
I need to work on finding a project car like this. Locally everyone wants a million dollars for nothing
Times are hard. Offer 'em half a million.
@@OpusBuddly I can only come up with quarter of a million...they won't bite.
Thank j Leno
@@charlesangeli7412 I blame shows like pawn stars, American pickers and those classic car auction shows. I am into vintage mini bikes. Rupp bikes were 200 to 500. Pawn stars had a rupp roadster 2 they claimed was worth 3500. Within 2 months you couldn’t touch a rupp for under 2 grand.
I had a friend in high school with a duster 73 or 74 with a 340v8, he messed up the back somehow and ended up making a kinda truck out of it. It was known locally as the El CaDuster and didn't look too bad when it was finished and painted.
Those old Mopar starters have a unique sound I’ll never forget
In the old days that sound was called the "Hamtramck Hummingbird ". Every Chrysler auto had that starter sound.
I just always felt like it sounded WRONG. Crankier Than Tanya Harding when she got kicked out of skatin'
