      I used to watch those same shows on spike as a teenager. My uncle's introduced me to the gearhead lifestyle as a young man and they were what I looked forward to every week. Most of my family was a GM only household but one uncle in particular was a mustang guy who pretty much set in motion the rest of my car obsession. As a teenager in the late 90's the 5 liter mustang was the top dog in my area. I never understood it until a friend of mine had an 85 GT that waxed all the local guys on the street. Track numbers didn't matter, it's what you could do at a stop light that set you apart.

    I don't know how this is for people not in the field but as trained metal worker and industrial mechanic that completely switched fields it is cathartic to watch someones process that clearly has years of experience and a feel for what they are doing. There are loads of people that do good metal work but the ones that have a connection to the metal that goes beyond just numbers and measurements, that can feel what is right and what isn't are on another level and a joy to watch and work with. That body work segment scratched an itch that I didn't even realize I had. Thanks Derek!

I know you love your family above all else like a man should, I’d like to see you stick around for them for as long as possible!!

    I have a 1986 M1008, which is the military version of the Chevy K30. I sprayed it with Behr Flat Exterior House Paint from home depot. Mixed to my color code specs. Which for a military paint look/feel, worked perfectly. 12 years later, and there are a rust few spots, few chips, little fading in places. But heck, it has lasted for 12 years. That's pretty good for house paint driving at 55mph down the road, and sitting outside in the driveway. I will repaint it at some point, would like to do it this summer. But have so much other work to do, I doubt I get to it.

    Thanks Derek for showing us a practical respray of a work truck.
    I think a lot of projects stall at bodywork chasing perfection.
    Newsflash its a worktruck and was never straight even off the factory floor.

    Great job on the truck Derek, one of the first trucks I remember travelling in with my dad.. later on working with him in the same truck a few years later! Lots of memories! Bentley is really becoming a great helper for you around the shop and its great to see him picking up the skills from his dad!

    This truck restoration was amazing. We love the paint on the doors to commemorate Dereks grandparents its beautiful! Remington will run for many moons and do its job around the Lodge. Derek better watch out Jessica may snatch this baby up for getting her groceries! Always good to see Bentley helping his dad on these vehicles. Good video, nice wheels, now to replace that seat and do the inside cab?!

    I painted my 80 K10 in the driveway with Rustoleum safety blue using a harbor freight gun 10 years ago. I thinned with mineral spirits and added enamel hardener from Tractor supply. It’s still all one color and looks okay.

    Awesome 2 hrs. Looks great and a tribute to your Grandparents is priceless. Love that you involve your sons with your work. Gotta get the young involved as wrenching on your own rigs will continue to be a dying art. Love your channel

    Sending love from my family to yours, thank you for everything you do for your fans, and I'm sorry for your loss but glad you were able to express your love for your grandparents with that beautiful painting. My little boy also was happy to see Bentley, he's a big fan of his and hopes to see another episode of Little Grip Garage someday. Hope you are doing well and remember to take time out for yourself as well, we love you and the videos you make, but I'm sure i speak for a lot of us that we'd be just as happy knowing you are remembering to put your feet up with the family.

    In the early ‘70s , the auto painting franchise,Earl Shiebs , would paint any car for $19.95 . The color selection was limited and just enamel, but if you did your own trim removal and masking job, the results were actually pretty good.

    Watching this makes me really miss my first truck. A 1984 Chevy c10, had to sell it so I could have a roof over my head and I regret it every day. An 84 c10 is like finding a needle in a hay stack. That truck was the huge reason I started working on vehicles. Thank you for making these videos. I love watching your channel. Can't wait till my boys are a little older to help my husband and I with our future projects!

You and your family are awesome, I Love how you and your family share in the recordings, and whomever edits the content is awesome. I Love the personalities, the being natural... All of you, you, Jessica and your 3 kids, have become a regular part of my every day. Thank you for being a source of relief from my day to day while edumicating me! 😏

    Good job Derek. Nice tribute to your grandparents. I miss mine. I have a 4 year old grandson too and hope to have as positive an influence on him as they made on me. My favorite is still you and your brother getting your Grandpa's truck running again, but this will be a lasting tribute. Not just the art, but the fact that it's a working truck! Being used like a truck!

    Just did a similar level of paint job with a friend's son. He brought himself his first hotrod pickup and wanted to shine'r up a little bit.let him do most of the dirty work sanding and prepping. Done up in the dusty old shop. Turned out decent enough with some single stage paint that a guy can stand back 20' and squint one eye and feel pretty good about himself. The young feller was so thrilled and proud of himself for the work he put into his pride and joy. After a couple months of nights and weekends, ended up having a great time working with him. I think he learned a lot and I ended enjoy a project again just for the sake of doing a project. Can't wait to see him cruising around town this summer!

    I stopped working on my vehicles almost 40 years ago, but enjoy the heck outta watching you do what you do, Derek. I find your channel fascinating, even thought I know I'll never work on my own vehicles again. It's nice to 'repair vicariously' through Vice Grip Garage. Happy New Year to you and your very nice family!

    looove that you're getting into some concrete bodywork with a build. always hoped you would do that more. it means that there's some real roadworthy-ness on the horizon for a lot of your rescues. would be nice to see the big old LeSabre brought back and being done - if you still have it. Love that car

    Derrick , Great Job on the upgrade and restoration of the old Chevy Farm Truck . You've definitely breathed new life into it. Honoring your grandparents with the Bieri Farms Artwork is fantastic . I really admire the mechanical ability that Bentley has and your working along with him as young lad which has really developed his talent and confidence. All your sons are a credit to you and Jessica. Greetings from New Brunswick Canada

      First of all I love the work you did and the approach to fix up your project. Now I heard a fella say he didn’t want a bunch of sympathy but- my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your grandmother. Honoring the family the way you did was first class.
