      I was about to complain about the same thing you did! and you did it for me. thank you friend i am the same age and size as him(fatter 6'3 266lbs with a 15w shoe(not boot). haters gunna hate bc they can and this generation doesnt know what hard work is. just watch him. thats hard work! and he has a wife and 3 BOYS! and not to mention all the other prodjects he has going on, even outside of his other channel. DERIEK IS THE HARDEST WORKING MAN I DONT EVEN KNOW! But should be an inspiration to younger generations for work ethic! bc that doesn't exist anymore. ..........sorry friend i went on a tangent. but long story short i agree. lol

      @@bgee461 Derek definitely is at his best when having cameras on tripods on a random field or a barn, and doing his usual antics. And the car has to be completely untouched, often in the RWR episodes the car had already been moved to some nice position with obvious ''weathered'' decoration put to it and tires filled up.

Watching you working on these builds definitely inspired me to originally get the truck and we have been doing restoration on it bit by bit.... And tomorrow morning, I have a friend who's a certified mechanic help me swap out the tired 350 in it for a refreshed engine.... Wish me luck 🤞 and thank you for what you do!!! ❤

    My first car (when I was 14, in Idaho) was a 1970 Chevy Nova with a 4 speed on the floor. I loved that low miles, one owner car, and I did a lot to it to make it better in every way...more power, torque, handling, braking, steering, rear suspension, interior, sound system, wheels, tires, exhaust, etc. It was the nicest looking car in my high school after I worked alongside a professional painter to prep and paint it, and it was probably the fastest car in our school in the quarter mile (I wasn't able to race two possible contenders, but I handily beat all of the others). This Nova project car was already so nice but Derek is making it a true seriously hot, reliable, good looking, daily driver...what a car for some lucky VGG Subscriber to win!

I was born & raised in Canonsburg, PA. when Yenko Chevrolet was operating their dealership. My Dad and uncle bought their Chevy's from Yenko. I can remember as a teenager, Don Yenko would sometimes have his latest race car parked outside the dealership showroom. Like all teenagers, we were in awe the few times they started it up for the crowd. Good times. Winning would be a blessing for sure!

Really like what your doing with the Nova. Your show single handedly has helped motivate me to get back to work on our project car that's been mostly stagnant for the last couple years. I just put together a custom exhaust kit and now working on wiring to get it running.
