Me too. Some days i just sit and rewatch old episodes. Vice grip needs his own t.v show!!! When I wear my VGG t shirts so many ppl say things to me so a guy is pretty popular
My dad bought a brand new 1964 Buick LeSabre from Stewart Buick in Winston Salem NC. It was white with almost the same interior colors except the seats were vinyl and it was a 2 door. When the salesman brought it out, he parked it in an alley behind the dealership and left the motor running. Us kids piled into it to check it out. My brother with Downs Syndrome was 4 years old. He was so sweet. He grabbed the gear lever, pulled it into drive, and we plowed right into a telephone pole which put a nice dent in the front bumper. We had only travelled 5 feet but it dinged the chrome anyway. My dad being the generous soul that he was didn't even suggest to the salesman to put a new bumper on it. Dad's philosophy was when you get a new car, you might as well get a Tonya Harding out and ding it right away. That way you won't be dreading the time YOU ding it so bad. He was also a sweet man. I miss them both. By the way, we also had a 1956 Buick Special. The exterior was blue, white, and black. I love your channel. It brings back so many memories. I'm a fair bit of a mechanic myself being a fellette if I do say so myself. Keep them coming. I'll be a fan until I join my dad and my brother.
I like the character you play in your videos, but I really like the fact that is real life you are a highly skilled craftsman, that has a real understanding of what you do. Please never shut this channel down as it makes as many people laugh, as it makes people want to go out to the garage and pick up a wrench.
Agreed!!!! Funny as hell but also one highly skilled jack-of-all things automotive……. old skool style! Especially refreshing in this day of “plug in the computer and shoot me in the right direction” mechanics. I realize it has to be that way with the newer stuff, but there is no-one, and I mean no-one that I would rather be taking a sketchy rig for a long ride with than Derek!!! Keep up the great content Derek!!!
Brother listen, I've always said that I grew up in the wrong era as well and a good buddy of mine has also, BUT, if we grew up back when the automobiles were actually good then we wouldn't be here today to save on em. They'd just rot away if it wernt for fellas like us. Thanks for doin what you do to preserve on these ol beauty's. Keep saving history brother. 🤘🏼
A guy has sat in the parking lot for 30 mins after work watching VGG and had to explain to the wife that I was actually watching VGG and not visiting some mistress.
A fellers grandpa just passed away today at the age of 97. He had one helluva run. A video upload today was just what a guy needed to get through this day, so thank you for that. Car looks amazing.
My condolences over your loss. At least you got to spend many a year knowing your grandpa. Both of my grandpa's passed before I was even hatched. Anyway, you'll see him again some day when it's your time. Again, my condolences.
I went off to my freshman year at college, in a ‘62 Buick LeSabre 2-door hardtop that I purchased from a co-worker. It had the venerable 401 engine and was maroon with a white roof. My favorite car when I think back on it.
Easily the best automotive show going. Straightforward, informative, real and hilarious. All the best bits of Roadkill and mighty car mods rolled into one.
My Dad worked at Fisher Body in Livonia, MI from 1959 to 1972. Yeah, I was born a Yankee, but he got homesick and moved back down South. Well, KY isn't south, but it sure beats Detroit.
So the brake line rubber, wheel cylinders, brake drums and shoes and rear end bushings are toast and the thing barely wobbled it’s way home but you put shine juice on her and that just makes it all right?
Wasn’t sure about this car in the beginning, but have really grown to like it. The Guy’s enthusiasm for rescuing these old gems is contagious, even for those of us who will never be in a position to follow his example. Good job!
@@V8PropaneBurner i've seen a bike video where the chrome is literally rusted and sheeting off be brought back to life, it took him hours but it was magic
I started binging on VGG last week, think n it was a brand new channel. Today, I've learned it's been around a long time. Can't stop watch n you man. Always entertaining. "Do the right thing" is my new quote. Thanks again D
I'm so in love with this LeSabre. Buicks remind me of my grandpa (and I'm no spring chicken lol) and they all have that Buick smell 💗 when I was in my 20s I had a 74 (?) Regal with ttops. I could drive it with my pinkie finger. Just love them! Thanks for saving all the Buicks #HeroStatus
This Buick looks like the car, my neighbor came to pick me up when my Grandmother died. Me and her daughter had road our bikes to town. We were resting at the school yard when she found us. 😪
Literally made a guys day when he hooked his peepers on the notification bell . Thanks Derek Ive been having a horrible day but this turned it all around and got me smiling.
Wow! The cleaner for the seats worked wonders! The shiner for the chrome made it sparkle. Almost made it look like the car was winking at ya!! Really nice looking car. What an era. Ram
i appreciate your videos, i had to sell my ride so i started working out my body again and im trying to get over alcohol. i guess its your positive vibe that motivates the good, keep em coming!!
ANTONIO GOOD FOR YOU MAN ,STRONG MIND, STRONG BODY,, KEEP BUSY AND STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO SOCIALLY DRINK FOR A WHILE I QUIT 28 YEARS AGO GOODLUCK BUDDY YOU CAN DO IT MAN✊✊✊✊✊
i would love to have the old buick 3000 . I LOVE old cars like that . it makes me happy to see you take them and bring them back to life .thanks for looking out for the old schools.
Been watching a guy for about the last year. Love the content makes my day. Would like to see a little more on how much you get for them and where these car/truck/projects are ending up?. Keep up the great work.
I would replace the floor mats as those have seen better days. And that front carpet needs replacing too. Those Spray way products work great on vinyl. Great job on the chrome Derek.
When it comes to fixing the radio, the first thing you wanna blame in the audio world (especially when it's old) are the electrolytic capacitors. They are used in audio amplifiers, they have approx. life of 20-35 years, after that they just lose their properties and radio no worky. I had equipment that was 35 years old and it was literally half dead.
My second time watching this video I just wish you would show us who buys the cars and where they're going to but I don't care what they look like....JJ..
Seeing Derek engage his Inner DJ Scratch and Sniff got a guy laughing. @18:35 I mean, you just have to sometimes. Mozzle just watch the whole vidya, but had to edit in a guys break out rap performance.
A guy is just recovering from Koved 1900 and have surly just enjoyed the heck outta these little filmy things you putting on the U tubes. Thanks a bunch.
Just wanted to tell a guy and his family to have a great Turkey day. That chrome shined up so great it bottled me all up. Thanks for the great entertainment.
My mom passed on Jan 18th 2021 this popped on my my feed, and been watching it since that day, God puts people in your path for a reason, you are practical and have ambition and I love Buicks as well thank you for getting me through this difficult time
Your approach Derek is typical Scandinavian matter-of-factly..no matter what. Lots of them around your area..Best car show ever! Greetings from Norway..
Derek, it would be really neat if you could reach out to folks who pick up some of the classics that you rescue and restore and share with us how they ended up. Love the channel. It is a refreshing diversion from the absolutely insane world we live in today.
Imagine 200 cable channels and Netflix, Hulu and Amazon prime...and Vice Grip Garage is STILL my first choice!
Me too. Honestly, I watch you tube more than anything else.
You should go outside 🤣🤣
Well I'll be dipped!

Kind of reminds me of Red Green.
I'm from the same area, it's an oldschool way of talking and being. It's a sense of humor when all is wrong and difficult.

Glad I'm not the only one that does the DJ'ing on the ripply bits when cleaning them.
A guy has sat in the parking lot for 30 mins after work watching VGG and had to explain to the wife that I was actually watching VGG and not visiting some mistress.
What the hell man? UR mistress don't watch VGG?
A guy wants to spend at least 60 minutes with his mistress.
See how a guy is tearin’ folks’ marriages apart...
Papa once said and a guy knows - It ain’t easy bein’ greasy. Or is is cheesy? Ho-well.
Doesn't your mistress have a bigger screen to watch VGG on?
If Mama ain't happy, nobody is. Happy Wife, happy life my Dad used to say.
We watch, because Derrick is so real, knowledgeable, down to earth, and funny as hell!
exactly. a great soft spoken guy.
A fellers grandpa just passed away today at the age of 97. He had one helluva run. A video upload today was just what a guy needed to get through this day, so thank you for that. Car looks amazing.

I fixed the headliner in my Camaro with a couple of magnets. It’s mint.
Did that once, works great, just don't go too fast over cobblestones 😜
magnets! thats a great idea!
Brilliant idea! Thank you!
My dad stuffed McDonalds french fry boxes into the edges to tuck ours in our Malibu wagon. Worked... kinda ok?

@@theeoddments960 Yup, For now. Stay tuned. That's next. VGG is the best thing out there.

You're the Bob Ross of automotive.!
happy little mistakes....
The pop of that chrome just about extracts saline solution from a guy's eyes.
pretty sharp eh!
They knew how to plate chrome back then before the EPA stuck their fat noses in it...
I can't believe how well that chrome came back. It totally changes the appearance of the whole car. You've done a fantastic job there Derek

Funny how fellers are just petrified of sewing! Lol. Works for me. More work for me!.
In this throw away society it does my old heart good to see this video
I love that interior it has so much 50s / 60s character , reminds me of the Jetsons lounge .
You did an amazing job on this car in such a short period of time. Thank you for all your dedication, this is the best channel of UA-cam.
“LeSlobber” lol. Derek, you’re the best!
This Buick looks like the car, my neighbor came to pick me up when my Grandmother died. Me and her daughter had road our bikes to town. We were resting at the school yard when she found us. 😪
You Americans certainly knew how to make cars, absolutely gorgeous!
Derek, whoever scores this awesome rig will surely appreciate the effort you’ve put in to bring the shine on this beauty. Enjoyed this immensely 👍👍
Loved the heater blower switch. That's what's called usin whats yah got. What a riot!!!
Literally made a guys day when he hooked his peepers on the notification bell .
Thanks Derek Ive been having a horrible day but this turned it all around and got me smiling.
Have your radio on and have one of your boys hold onto the antenna nub. It should work since that person will be the mast for the AM
Wow!
The cleaner for the seats worked wonders!
The shiner for the chrome made it sparkle. Almost made it look like the car was winking at ya!!
Really nice looking car. What an era.

First time a fellow mentioned the light switch, first thing that came to mind was heater motor.

The passenger side floor looks like, " The Dining room of the Titanic " ! Lol
Pretty sure that it moved on it’s own lol!!

Only Derek could make me wish I had an old unrestored 1963 Buick to play with.
I would replace the floor mats as those have seen better days. And that front carpet needs replacing too. Those Spray way products work great on vinyl. Great job on the chrome Derek.
I thought that was the blower switch when you were freezing on the way home .
It was almost obvious lol
That or an electric rad fan...oh wait...
A little piece of duct tape over that Portland brick hole would have helped. lol

Maaaaaaan I love the patina on this thing. It's dang near perfect.
in case you have never tried it. 'Never Dull' wading is the best polisher I've ever used. It will polish anything.
Really great car, Buick did have a great design back then.

Watching your content, is excellent time spent. Thx, man. Cool old girl ya got there. Nice job bringing her back around.
VGG this series on the 63 Le Sab ra is excellent. There is something special bout cars of that era.
I haven't owned a car for 30 years but I love watching you restore these forgotten cars.

Those chrome shots are killer!
I just bought a scalp awning from the VGG merch store 👍

Nice! Mine's on the way.
How much$
Tim Ramaker ...bout the same as a bottle of whiskey, or maybe a roll of dip but, definitely less than a half tank of diesel.

that's "LeSlobber"
and spend just enough money on gas

It's actually a very beautiful car! If I had more room at the old homestead, I would buy it and keep it for myself.
Wow, she really cleaned up nice! That chrome is 🤩
I like the front windshield also. It has a lot of character. THe shine juice really brings out the beauty of the paint.
