Fellers and Fellets you can find tickets to Duct Tape Drags here! Hope to see you there!! tickets.thefoat.com/DuctTapeDrags/event-245007
Just sitting here building a chicken coop but first gonna build a canopy because of the Texas sun. No im not making chicken jerky but if you want more beef jerky let me know
Stop driving those cars unregisterd and uninsured D. Your gonna get in a mess
@@ViceGripGarage I will hopefully get to meet you at the event. Take care
being a lechiken,, .... boiler maker actually.......ive seen less wires on a 12 story building.. shouda got a modern dizzy, those 2 point are a pain..
ida run the earth to the driver side, earthed it, then cut it, so i can twitch it in cab..plus, clean bases of bulbs, allways helps.. not telling you your jobi, but,.
"for every mile of highway, there's 2 miles of ditch" what a metaphor for life.... Lol
Thanks. That's one to remember.
T-shirt
That's actually true. In any one mile stretch there's a ditch on the left side of the highway and a ditch on the right side. In some areas there is a median in the middle which is usually concave so that makes a third ditch. A wide ditch, but a ditch nonetheless.
what is the moral of the story?
@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 keep it between the ditches
I live in Vietnam. Don't have cable. Only UA-cam and Netflix. Love waking up and seeing a new video. Makes a guys day better. ❤
Cable sucks I don't have it either I got youtube Netflix and Motor Trend and that's all I need to be happy
Ĺove the sound when t h at thing went make thunder!!.
Just got me a big garage it was a old chevy dealership in the 40s. I'm not a macka😢😢
Live in USA (California) and I haven't had cable for at least 20 years. I was among the first "Cord Cutters" as they call it. Trust me, I watch any tv shows I want and in 2160p HDR when available.
@@esqueue now watching shows on apps cost more than cable. Went full circle....😮
U ain't missing out not having cable lol it's all you tube Netflix, the only thing u missing is about 200 cable and 149 internet, so $349 ill be happy to forward u the bill dont like people missing out
This is the greatest thing ever filmed. You are an inspiration and the highest bar an ol hot rodder could ever hope to be. I did over 120 miles today in a chevelle that had sat in my garage for over 20 years. Thank you sir.
Wow, thank you!
Avoid at all cost repairs on the road,it’s very dangerous, police cars have been rear ended
Or best to have a friend follow just in case
VGG squad represent!
Thanks man!
@@ViceGripGarage Great. People supporting illegal shit. Nice
@@OttoBacker55 Or, you double down and just run it without any license plates. Cameras can't read what isn't there!
Nice to see Freddy! Thanks to all my favorite cartubers!
@@ViceGripGarage hey brother Derek,, I didn't hear you mention what gear ratio that ole gal has,, maybe taller than you'd think n that's why your getting better gas mileage than about any big of the blocks I ever had
I'm impressed with that cobweb a feller picked up on the back of his head, really stuck in for the long haul
I noticed that😊
Came to the comments just for this lol
Web dread
🤣
@@goldilox7938really? You noticed it too? Well thats cool and awesome... im glad you shared this with us, we needed to know if you had noticed or not... thank you, have a nice day 😐
When I was a kid I remember watching wrenching shows with my dad Saturday/Sunday mornings, now here I am a grown man watching this bringing back fond memories. Keep up the good work
This is the stuff I like to see. Pre-80's stuff being saved.
thanks for watching!
Pre 80s,, lol...pre WWII,, I LOVE any vehicle made before 1978,, I love the mid 80s to very early 90s lil shoe box cars like the 86 to 89 monte Carlo, bucks, Pontiac n such
@@timhouston2408 I grew up in the 60's and 70's. To me anything 80's I still consider too new. Just my age and way of thinking I suppose. This 40 was what was considered a classic in my day.
Pre-80's? This is pre-war. It's pre-almost everyone alive!
YES...always the pre-80's stuff is the best to save, revive and drive home. They can always be rehomed with good car people if'n a feller can't keep 'em.
I think this one deserves a repaint and return to former glory
Nah, it's giving off those Two lane black top vibes when money was spent for the go and not the show.
@@Wooley689me too
I tend to agree. There are enough patina cars out there. This one deserves to be shiny
lol. Never gonna happen
If one feller would like to have the old school pinstriping redone all he has to do is ask this feller. (And cover go juice and cold snacks)
I remember when I first started binging this channel a couple years ago. Derick's comedic relief was a fun surprise. Now it just seems...normal :)
Back in the 80's I was working for a Chevy dealer in Milwaukee,we had a customer bring a 1984 Suburban that had the 454 engine replaced under warranty in South Dakota.On the way to Milwaukee the engine developed a knock.He contacted Chevy who sent a replacement engine to replace it,Our truck mechanic replaced the engine but when he went to install all the accessories he noticed that the pulley on the crankshaft only had two bolts instead of three,The balancer never had the third hole drilled and tapped.He finished the job and sent the customer down the road,At the time I had a 1979 Chevy 4X4 that needed an engine.Well Chevy had thirty days to take the old engine back or to destroy it. After 30 days they never claimed it,so I installed in my truck and drove for it 5 years!
5 whole years? Sounds like a chevy
I immediately thought of the Ernie Von Schledorn commercials from my childhood. I know he didn't sell Chevy's, lol
@@tuberNunyahe could have sold it, or put a lot of miles on it in that time. I've put 150,000 miles on a car in a little less than 5 years.
@@tuberNunya I put 195k on my ram in about 5 years. I got rid of it then. 🤷
Who do you know wants to buy a car?!@@donspees9215
Oh man, I hope you keep this thing looking as close to this as you can - it's an artifact from a bygone era, something you'd see on the cover of Hot Rod from 1957. What a beautiful machine.
I was picturing the same thing. Since the car has Cragar SS's on it, it'd be more on a cover of Hot Rod magazine in the 1960's, since those wheels first came out in '64.
I kinda wish the old car would get it hit with the thermograpy x ray fluorescences vision, scanner machine. To see the paint beneath. And try to bring back the pin stripes and stuff.
Plus it might be the first time anyone has scanned a car with those art scanning behind paint to find the older art, machines. It could also make a decent episode. That is just a little different than normal.
Wonder if that is viable for guinness world records?
@@user-mm7xr8if1u - I was wondering about that - you're definitely spot on about that, brother
For sure! And then rediscover it in 1980. Then 2000. Now 2024. This little coupe belongs to the ages. Awesome.
gives me Grease vibes.
Watching you working on these old car makes me wanna work on my 83 Chevy g20 van too bad I got to let it go. But at least i get to watch you and see all the cars you save.
Ok spam bot.
Love seeing old dirt track cars and drag racers brought back to life!
Basicslly- Not an old drag car .
It was someone's Street Machine..Still Cool, though..
Glad to see you made it back okay. I love the car. I am an old guy, and I love the stance with the Kragers. That is old school for sure. Thanks, Derek, for taking me along.
Begone bot.
I’m 66, arthritic with m.s. and haven’t wrenched on a vehicle in years. However I don’t miss a VGG video. They always put a smile on my face! Thank you for all your hard work and may God continue to bless you and yours! 🤘😎
Kinda the same sinking boat..at least a smile doesn't hurt arthritis
That wasn’t a kick down switch 15:57 that shut off the electrical system at wide open throttle to get more power. That’s why when he floored it the red light and amp meter shut off 20:50
The idea of a badass old hotrod being pushed all the way and the lights go out etc and it lurches just a little bit harder- that is possibly the coolest hotrod-related thing I've ever heard of.
@@whoevertfI agree, the guy that did the work on it must’ve been wicked creative and pretty knowledgeable too. It would be cool to see a video of this thing back in the day racing.
What's that worth, like 1-2hp maybe?
@fredbawden1468 cmon man.. it's at least 3
I thought it might be for nitrous.
I'm really conflicted. If I watch this now, what's a guy gonna watch tonight?
Glad I'm not the only one!
😂 just re watch it.. problem solved. A guy can't watch these too many times..
I’m listening it to it while I work, I’m going to watch it later tonight when I get home.
Couldn't wait. Gave in and watched it. Great as always. Thanks Derek!
Same here, but I HAVE to watch with my Hubby and I’m still working!!!!!
I can't wait to see this old girl get some shine and TLC, this one is a gem! . Great work as always Derek, you are truly an inspiration!
I think Derek is the only guy who will not break character or stop being funny even if a lightning bolt hit a tree right beside him. This man is dedicated and entertaining to another level many fellas/fellers have not reached.
I like to think he doesnt do a character. He just is like he does
Right?@brandontempels915 easy to not break character if you're not acting
Yep he tuff and has nerves of titanium
That's why he's the best.😊
@@brandontempels915 you aren’t very intelligent.. and that’s okay too
American Grafitti revisited! Reminds me of the time my brother and his 3 buddies pooled their money and bought a 42 Ford coupe out of the wrecking yard for 50 bucks in 1962. Got it running and drove it 8 miles to home. By the time they hit the driveway the two guys in the backseat and the guy on the drinkers side had no boot heels left. They had punched through the floors and dragged their feet to stop that baby at every stop sign!
For the next 3 months they pooled their money again till each of them had a car to fix up. They ranged from a '36 to a '46 in year and kept those boys busy in the garage for the next two years as they continued to pool their money and flip a coin to see who would get the next parts to make their project more road worthy. In the end each had a beautiful customized coupe to take their girl to graduation in.
You've been a terrible influence on me. Yesterday I hopped on a train and went 350 miles south to drive back a $1000 1982 Mercedes 240d. It was a helluva journey home and I don't regret my decisions whatsoever.
Positive influence.
Its called building character.
Remember, you could have always used the money on even dumber things.
Enjoy the merc!
@@anderskisen1375 that's a good point and what I'll tell my parents when they complain about it being my fifth car I have right now lol
be careful, that is one fast car ! You should have bought a 200d, just to be safe 😉
@@AndrasMihalyi it has an om617 n/a swap, so much power I do a burnout in every gear
@@threelastt The big block 300d ? You like living on the edge, I see
I love VGG Fridays!
Thanks for watching
I totally agree! After a sh*#^y week it’s great to have a few laughs and a couple cold snacks.
Loved the sound of the big block. You can tell when you have a happy big block.
Agree! rumpty rump!
50 years ago I started a mobile tuneup business. The very first car was a show quality bone stock 1940 Chevrolet coupe. Even the spark plugs were original. It idled at 450rpm and was smooth as glass. I worked on hundreds of cars but this has stuck in my mind as very special.
When I was a kid my best friends older brother’s built a 40 Chevy coupe in much the same configuration as yours. With similar suspension and an Oldsmobile 324 coupled to a Lasalle transmission and a hydraulic clutch. It meant business back in the day.
This old car not only looks awesome but that big block just sounds good. Love this rig
I could listen to that old boat anchor just loping away on idle for days.
My thoughts exactly. Ain't nothin like em. The ol' school will never die, love the good old days when Detroit was king and aids meant assistance. @@ArKritz84
Look at the cobwebs sticking to Derek’s cap from crawling under the rig. He’s the real deal! Love your work ethic
I have been watching bits and pieces of this episode since Friday and I have to say this is helping my recovery. As a mechanic myself (no such thing as a former mechanic) I am recovering from my third back surgery and this is really helping with that. Thank you Derek for all you do. I would love to be able to keep doing what you do. I miss it a lot.
You need a set of towing lights for your travel kit. Sit them on the deck lid, wire them in and go
Then the video would only be 40 minutes long But still entertaining
Do what you normally don’t do to this unit. Full restore. Frame and repaint. This one deserves it.
Absolutely!!!!!!!
Yesssss
Negative. You never "full restore" racing cars. That's like acid washing the statue of liberty.
It looks great as is to me. Maybe clear coat it and fix some of the rust.
Do whatever mechanically, but that body needs to get the shine juice 😊
Derek, you inspired me to switch out what I thought was a bad starter in a resto-mod 1950 pickup (bad based upon your video lessons) and I did it and the beast runs again. So much fun and satisfaction! Thank you!
Am i the only one who loves to see his thumbs up count as the first people to see the freaking bad ass show. VGG is the dam best . a guy just knows
First thing I did and haven't seen it yet
@timothydockery534 yeah I don't wait. Click video click thumbs up.
He looks like a smoker on the track!?🎉❤😮😅
I'm 70 and love gassers!!!! Rat Fink artwork is the best.
Not far behind you Tony, I'm 67 and love Gassers too.
I'm 62 I love the gasser stance.Was told to be legal can't be more than 24 inches to the center of the crank from the pavement
Shoot old timer, I’m 42 n love the gasser style and the artwork. Oldsmobiles are my favorite ones.
Shoot old timer, I’m 42 n love the gasser style and the artwork. Oldsmobiles are my favorite ones.
I'm 31 and had no idea what a gasser was, or that there even was any such thing. I feel deprived.
I really needed this video. My dads funeral was on thursday. While he wasn't a big car guy, he had the same wit and sense of humor. Thanks for getting me to laugh.
What impresses me the most is doing so much of this work (well, most of what we see anyway) using only one hand, and still giving us good video in the process. Thank you!
Happy weekend guys, I'm in here watching because there's a thunderstorm storm on my Mopar 360 truck outside. So naturally, I'm building the top end in my living room with Derky here. 😂👍
Another great example of how to make things work with little or no equipment. Your a great inspiration for getting our projects up and running. Thank you!
I’m soon to be 53 years old, and some of the earliest memories is of in my backyard my dad had a 38 coupe that he raced on a local dirt track, it was nearly the same color orange, his car number was 40D , as a little boy I barely remember seeing it race, but when I’d look at that thing, as a little boy, it could have been a modern day NASCAR ! Keep up the great videos!
yes more truck stuff please brother thanks for the early access for us fellas and fellettes that are members
You got it!
@@ViceGripGaragejust in case you got writer’s block…. Cracked dash reupholstery, stepside wood bed redo, swap small block with a big block, sticky steering wheel, speedo adapters, orig brass radiator vs new alumiminium…. And it would sweet to see an episode end with you and the boys in a k5 with the top off!
A fellet enjoys watching these episodes. They're very entertaining.
Derek the stuff you endure to give us a video to look forward to is incredible. There are times when I am actually worried about you when watching one of your videos. Then I remind myself that you had to have made it home ok because you posted a video. I appreciate you Derek. You give me something to look forward to in my life.
My 82 year old Dad has his old 40 Chevy Business Coupe stashed up high in the attic of his shop. He paid $75 for it when he was 16 years old, and drove it until 1965 which was the year that I was born. It’s cool to see another one!
Help him get it out and do something with it
Thank you for always providing family friendly entertainment Bieri family. Thank you all for all the hardwork and grueling schedule
Lol
@@matth7744What's so funny?
When I was younger me and my dad used to move around a lot of equipment and older rigs for farm work. And we had to do a lot of direct wiring of here I am lights. And he used to carry an old turn signal flasher canister so he could make them into hazards if the need arises. Love what you’re doing!! God bless you and your family Derek❤. Hands down best videos on UA-cam and probably about any other platform!
Your best bet is your own car hauler.
Cob webs hanging from the hat! You out did yourself in this installment. The level of sketch that you are willing to endure for our entertainment is simply amazing! Always enjoy a bourbon and the Friday night posting from VGG!
The wiring on my 1939 Ford Coupe, when I got it, was actually worse. Ripped it all out, threw in the nearest trash can and installed a Speedway Motors kit.
That car deserves a few updates, especially for safety. Very cool old Hot Rod. Glad you made it home safely and thanks for sharing

More square-body plz. Had an 85 1ton Scottsdale with lots of good stuff. Life happened and had to sell. Miss that outfit a lot. So when you tackle square-body projects, it hits close to the heart! Thanks Derek.
If a feller wants a perfect radius cut, you take a string and tape it to your hub and use a marker on the other end and follow the arch and it will give you a perfect arch every time.
No one can get tired of square bodies! Would love to see another crew cab build!
square bodies. boring.. no flair whatso ever.. what gets me about a lot of chev,s is like they designed a grill that was too small, so they doubled up on it & the lites.. id of sacked that designer.. & the guy that kept that 1940 design 350 going for 300 fkn yrs.. its just wrong.!.. ausie.. i have to put up with holden nuts here.. that all want a chev 350 & 9''.. boring.. please send over a container of 12 & 14 bolt diff,s to save our fords from not having diff,s.. [ some top loaders be good too. ]..
@@harrywalker968Get over yourself!
@@harrywalker968why are you mad about a sbc design being around forever?! Gm had the workin man in mind with it unlike ferd or dodge being able to get parts off whatever had one in it.... all ferds are good for are the axles high pinion fronts and the 9" rears.... 14 bolts are gms best rear axle 12 bolts are ok
Crew cab build giveaway!!!!
When it's a "can I drive it home" video and he has it running 21 minutes into an hour plus video you know it's going to be a battle
Man do I wish that was mine. I'm 65 and still love the old school hotrods. 😊
But heres my question to you phil, who gaf if ur 65 and love old cars?
One of my good friends who passed about 8 years ago hustled cars when I was really young he always had a few different hotrod this guy would be driving something different every other day he had a bunch of old coupes in the 70s he had a really cool 33 or 34 coupe that was chopped so heavy that the windshield was only about 6 inches in hight and it was flat black with a big block and a tunnel ram he drove it around with open headers and the cops pulled him over a few times a day he swapped that car foe a big block 67 camaro that had every candy color they made on it this guy Mike painted the car and as soon as he finished it he swapped my friend the car had the name paranoid on the quarter panels in gold leaf lettering great looking car. This guy had more cool cars then anyone I've ever seen and I think that is what got me Into hot rods at a very young age. Great video
This is one of my favorite rescues! The body style and engine combination just does something to me and takes me back to when I was a teenager. Hope this car gets some serious love and attention. Great video Derek! You need to come up to the Pacific NW for a rescue. Many wonderful cars just parked in the weeds out here in the suburbs and countryside.
One thing I personally will never get tired of is anything that has to do with a squarebody. You gave me inspiration to fix up the 77 k10 I have
Getting home in one piece. Bless your heart.
It's a trip just watching you with your antics. Thanks!
Rough day at work. Back at the campground. Fire built. Red Stag in hand and this. Yep, everything is ok
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Red Stag is the Bomb!!! Love that stuff.
Absolutely classic Derek. I can't believe you do this for a living… Well I can and I'm glad you do, but I just can't believe it. Just as an example, @ 1:11:43 at your first gas stop, it's the middle of the night, you're in a borrowed shirt, you've had ATF and oil rolling down your arms all day and a huge spiders web hanging from your ball cap all the way down to your neck!!!! You sir are "old-school rugged"! and I absolutely love it!!!! Thank you so much for choosing to do this with your life and bringing us so much wholesome entertainment. And that's what I like about it too… Wholesome entertainment. Just a great guy doing great things with great automobiles and no swearing or nasty stuff. Family man doing his thing… Thanks for the great content all these years!!!
Don't know how wholesome it is, probably better than late model tv
A guy just finished binge watching roadworthy rescues and made his way here. Love the content!
There is another youtuber I watch that has a 40 Chevy like that one. He said it's a one year car, and parts are hard to find. Love the old school cars! I would absolutely leave that wiring. That's part of the story of the car. I cant wait to see what you do with it. Cool ride!
This is one of the coolest cars you have resurrected. I love the old get em running and drive em home episodes. They’re my favorite!
Yesss!!! Let’s see more square body stuff!! I will never get tired of it!! Love when you go in-depth on them too! A guy loves learning from a guy that knows a thing or two about those 4 equally sized sides trucks
+1 for square bodies.
+1 - love the square body content
Love the stance of a gasser. That '40 Chev landed in the right hands.
Excellent. I appreciate your scary lights out situation. Several hears ago I was driving an old 6 ton Isuzu dynamite truck that I has salvaged from a gold mine to Pretoria, South Africa on a 300mile trip. I had a total lights out experience along a very curvy mountain pass, very scary. I pulled over a few feet from a ravine, had I been driving faster I would have gone over and not been here to enjoy VGG. I fuse had blown and I had no replacement so had to short with a coin. Any how, just like you, I survived. I had the UA-cam subtitles on and every time the 454 started and ran it said there was [music], which is pretty accurate for a big block.
Had a guy walk up to me and say,i see your a vice grip follower, i was wearing my V.G.G hat. We stood there and talked about how much we love watching the show for about an hour.
Never get tired of square body content. I’m slowly collecting a few of them myself. Show all the square body stuff you want!
@Vice Grip Garage i will NEVER get tired of you working on squarebodies or any other old trucks for that matter. Please keep it up on the truck content!
Thanks for all the hard work Derek! A guy has a hard time waiting all week for Friday to come to watch your new episode. Also congrats on your dream car! You deserve it!
Glad you made it home safe and sound! Really appreciate giving early access to us VGG wannabees. Thx!!
Spoiler alert?
Dude! Come on man. Why would you ruin it for everyone.
Yall know he always gets home even if he has to buy a truck and pull it he's getting home
what a trip Derek! Thx for taking us along.
Thanks for giving us members a lil taste from the ol pot a little early. Great content as usual. Much appreciated from, a guy.
Funny story. When I got my first job no one bothered to learn my name so I was literally called Guy for years 😂
Fair dinkum Kyle the smile on ya face when you announce the smoking jacket is priceless keep up the good work you have mad skills cheers from down under 😊
To answer your question: Square bodies? Even if you do vacuum cleaners. I'm here, and I'm watching it!!!
Love from Portugal❤
All the squarebodies a guy can do! Please! Also, I would love to see a 67-72 c/k one of these days! Thanks Derek
finally a feller can rest his earthpounders, fill his belly, wet his backneck, and relax with a VGG video. Eternally grateful to Mr. Derek for posting these. Although, I don't remember there being soooo many multiminute ads.
UA-cam premium is worth every penny, even just for this channel with no ads.
Well, that's why a feller oughta be using Firefox (PC & Android) & the extensions: ublock origin & Adguard adblocker.
Never get tired of trucks! Especially square bodies!
I'm not sure why A Guy would have a car shipped 200 miles from his house, but such is the mystery of VGG. Ours is not to question why...
@@GeekGinger probably a case of his buddy Chad being the one who did the shipping, since it's at his property
Could also be that he bought it before the move and shipped it ahead.
I bet Chad brought it home with him or knew the shipper so it was dropped there.
Do you want a "Will it run & sketchy drive" video, or "Well here's a thing at my shop" video?
I think I'll remember that "for every mile of highway..." quote forever.
You're the man, Derek!
Never get tired of squarebodys
Old cars push my happy button!! I’d like to see that blue ‘40 ish Tudor you got stashed away!
Thanks for the early access!!
Can't wait to see this thing cruising around town!
Always outstanding
It needs to be a black coupe. Black vinyl roof, black chrome and black interior. Dare one suggest white wall tires?
Looks very much like a '39 I8 Buick!
I had three of those with my first bride. Iterior room is surprisingly "too cozy".
Can never be tired of square body's! Hoping to get myself one again sometime.
Anyone else remember when Derrick would shit on Roadkill? Now he works for Motor Trend and is buddies with Freiburger😂😂
"Before Roadkill was crap" lol yes I do. Been edited out now I think
There's much worse hypocrisy on the ole Utube I'm here to tell ya lol.
When you were checking the oil before going with lights on, the view is straight off a video game. Amazing stuff Derek!
You'll be remembered long after the grid is gone. You make an otherwise pretty negative and frightening platform good and worthwhile.
Thank you
Back in the late 50's early 60's the Hollywood area my dad had q 1935 Chevy business coupe with a 270 GMC and a truck 4 spd transmission with a bumper jack and chain cross member holding it in Lol! him and uncle Tommy used to terrorise southern California Dad used to tell a story about challenging one of the local hotrodders to a race for $100 ( alot of money back then) and they didn't have the money for gas they actually won the race and ran out of gas before finish line later they started racing on the track tow baring the car to the track with 54 dodge truck blew the radiator hose ended up firing up car with 18" pipes bolted to head run threw hood for exhaust 3 am straight down Hollywood Blvd pushing their haul truck with tow bar I really enjoy alot of your stories bring back memories
Man I just brought a 78 caballero home it had bad head lights so I wired Led lights under them then well driving my lights quit all together just like what happened to you lol lucky it wasn't the bulbs but the switch so I was able to straight wire the bulbs and made it around 3am a 4 hour trip took me 10 ME AND MY SON HAD A GREAT TIME. HE EVEN BROUGHT YOU UP. YOUR JUST LIKE DEREK. Thanks man for all that you do you truly are an inspiration
Derek having' a "Squirrel Moment" around 18:24! Good to see a Feller workin' through a well thought out plan! Keep up the good work Buddy!
Never have been this entertained while peeling potatoes until today. Heckers yeah man, great show.
That idle chop is the sound us all car guys love...
Agree 100% with a Fella on "nothing like a big block". Finished my cammed 390 FE in my 65 Galaxie and dang if it doesn't make me smile every time I mash the loud pedal!
Thanks for taking the some of us (in the northern land of rust) on the salvages we will never see!
Maybe in a junk yard? In Northern New England there are a few places where these rigs can be found.
Derek is one of the best headshakers in the business. And "Spray Foam Floor" has a catchy tune.
I really need a favor ! PLEASE tell "little grip" that his channel is our favorite after his dad's! He does such a awsome job and it stands out like a sore thumb that he has GREAT PARENTS ! BEST 2 CHANNELS ON YT !!!!!!!
Never tired of squarebodies!!
Now THAT is a cool car! My brother has a 1938 Chevy coupe. Once you take a ride in an old car like this you don’t care to drive anything new. That’s cool that David hooked you up with this. I’ve read his articles in the car magazines for YEARS.
I really love the two Impala bucket seats squeezed together like that. It looks really neat.
Please keep, make cool memories and diffinately redo from the frame up suspension correct fuel tank under the body. You worked hard for this one, especially STRESS. Great job Derek, enjoy the channel.
