I've never cared much for meeting celebrities, but had a guy gotten to meet you I would have been happier than a 14 year old girl at a Backstreet Boy concert in 1999. You and your videos have brought back my love for classic cars and helped me remember all the good times I had helping my dad work on his 69 Caprice... Keep up the awesome work!

    32:15 The wires for the tail light and brake light run up the inside of the steering column so that you can have a signal light. I have seen the steering column housing cut into those wires (takes years but it seems that vehicle has had years to cut) and start shorting them out. Such usually causes a blown fuse. In any event, consider checking the wires coming out of the bottom of the steering column for a cut.

    Another great episode Derek, thanks for bringin' us along. So awesome to see all the old stuff out on the road. Coming up July 15th in Emmett, Idaho is Cruise Night...1979 and older vehicles cruise the main drag through town....they all meet at the city park around 8am, park all the cars, a show and shine most of the day and the cruise starts around 6pm, they close off the roads, and let em cruise....so awesome to watch. Everything from old Model A's and Model T's, to built rat rods, hot rods, etc. Myself, I love when they keep 'em stock but they come up with some really awesome performance stuff too. Wish my aunt would have gotten her 72 Mustang El Grande going, I would have cruised it for her, needs some work though, and I'm pretty sure the thing is stone dead because its sat for the past 4-1/2 years unfortunately.
    I replaced the sparkulators and ignition lightening coils in my Superduty V10 last weekend, what a chore that was, not too bad, just a terrible lack of space to work in to get to them.

The design was so good Mr. Smith used it for the Texas Motor Speedway.

    Hi, Derek, it's great to see all three of your rides doing well so far. I do have one possible problem that I think I'm seeing with Longmire; the rear end is looking quite low, and I have been seeing a lot of concern about what is called "the Carolina Squat". I hope that doesn't cause Jessica or you, or who-ever may be driving it at the time any problems. I have been reading about a lot of problems in North Carolina over this issue. (I'm living in South Florida so I don't see that problem down here) I just don't want to see any of your group have problems. God Bless and stay safe and have a Fantastic Hot Rod Power Tour.

    Looks like I know what I'll be watching for the next while love the content. Also I have been watching for 5 or 6 years now.

    Have to admit that Dodge Royal was my favorite car from the "early days" of the channel. Ran great and did it all. Even made the VGG opening sequence. Nothing like a gen 1 Hemi. So glad we got to see it again! Have fun be safe!
