    I just wanted to let you know that I lost my brother unexpectedly to a brain aneurysm a week ago today. He was 56. It was a very emotional and exhausting week. I watch all of your videos and the John Deere episode helped me think about something else and even laugh! So thank you for all you do. Your videos go much deeper than just car restorations. I appreciate you bringing joy to a very painful week. I pray for continued success for you and your family. Thank you, guy!

    Hey Derrick,
    I have been upholstering for 57 years. The next time you do any upholstery in vinyl . On the back section spray the foam with silicone to help th corners to slide down easier. The ,last thing that you can do to make. It easier and more professional heat the corners of the vinyl with steamer or a heat gun to make the vinyl easier to st r etch over the corners . You did a great job but with that little bit of knowledge I just shared with you it could be flawless. No wrinkles and corners tight. Awesome job fora beginner. Love watching all of your videos.

      My Dad had a upholstery shop in Western Kentucky for 50 yrs and he always used silicone spray or thin plastic on the corners to let them slide on. He also had a steamer but a feller could use a hairdryer to get the same results. Its amasing how it takes the wrinkles out once you get the material hot and stretch it. Great tip!!

  • @stevenaugustin6784
    @stevenaugustin6784 3 місяці тому +42

    Derek - tip for you and others doing upholstery work. Drape some thin plastic (2-3 mil) over those foam cushions before sliding new seat covers on. There's a lot of friction between the foam cushions and the foam on the underside of the new covers. They'll slide on like butter. Also, lay those new covers out in the sun on a warm day to soften them up just before installation. Same with the new carpet kit. Lastly, use a heat gun VERY carefully to warm up any wrinkles after the covers are installed, and use the palm of your hand to "iron" them out. After owning a classic auto upholstery shop for 45+ years, I've learnt a few things, and still learning. I love your tips about using the carpet protectors as a replacement for the door panel moisture shields, and the heated-up punch for making bolt holes in carpet. Gonna do that next time.....

    One of the things that makes your channel so enjoyable to watch, is that it doesn't take 6 mo's worth of episodes to complete what you have accomplished here. It's far more preferable to watch without leaving a guy hanging weeks at a time before seeing how it's done, and gratifying to see the end results. I'm not even a ford guy, although this turned out so nice that I'm going to enter right now by purchasing some merch. for a chance that just maybe... I could own this 'ol rig. Thanks Derek.

    I've been watching your videos since I got out of the Army a few years ago, used to be a mechanic in the Army, have an office job now, but still really enjoy wrenching on things. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride Derek and family!

    Derek, you know what you're building? A tribute truck to Denver Pyle, aka Jesse Duke. As soon as I saw this truck, I immediately thought of him cause this is what he drove on The Dukes of Hazzard. You need to leave this white and basic just like his truck was. I understand the upgrade you want to do on the gauges, but the dentside Ford trucks have such a unique gauge cluster, it'd be a shame to change them. But keep up the good work and build up that 300. Hopefully, I be able to get my 65 Thunderbird done soon so I can take it to one of the car shows you frequent. It's be cool to meet you and your family.

I went home from the hospital in 1963 in a Ford, a 1960 Zepher (British Ford). Still driving a Ford, a 2018 Ranger 2.2l turbodiesel singlecab with a sixspeed manual gearbox.

    We enjoy watching, the quips and word displacements and the time your boys and wife spend with you. Your boys will learn and value the time forever, I hope. Looking forward to watch the next '78 F100 video! My dad and I had a '78 F100 as well.

    I grew up from diapers to graduation on a ranch and the farm truck was a 1970 red f100 300ci this build has gotten my heart. Love seeing this old truck go from great to amazing

    something to be said for these cars that don't track you wherever you go. Kind of refreshing actually. You do beautiful work. Really enjoy watching you practice your craft, notwithstanding that I don't have the knowhow, nor the tools nor courage to try out this sort of project. Amazing.

    A little tip for a lone wolf test light-
    Sometimes when I have to test for power to a connector that's far from the switch or out of line of sight I use my lone Wolf test light. It's just a door buzzer from under the dash of a 70 Chevy connected to wires with small alligator clips on the ends. With that I can test for power and just listen for the buzzer. It's great for testing for power at a fuel pump connector. For something like that I just clipped the alligator clips to a couple of paper clips and how it has connector probes.
    By the way I love what you're doing with the truck!

    Derek gets amazing to watch you taking us on this journey making us feel like we’re part of the family. Thank you so much and for my color choice I would say the Wimbledon white but maybe you could do a blue pearl like you did on the drag truck, or at least the blue pinstripe to match the blue dash get some blue on the outside, have a good one. Thank you.

    You get me jacked up every time to get going on my projects. The F100 especially, I inherited a 1963 F100 that my granddad bought new in 63. Long story short, it hasn't run since before 1995 when my dad passed. Two (?) years ago it would still rotate with a socket on the crank. Just got to get going on it. Looking forward to watching the rebuild on the 300 to get ideas on the 223 in mine. KEEP UP THE CLEAN HUMOR! I like it when I don't have to worry about what might come out of a you-tubers mouth. Thanks for what you're doing.

    My wife and I did almost exactly the same thing (except for digital dash) to "Obie", our 1978 Full-size 4WD Bronco about 20+ years ago! Ours sported a 350-M (350 "Modified") V8 engine. This episode really took me back... Thanks Derek for a great project!

    I grew up helping my Dad in the garage...love seeing your boys in there with you, and Jessica of course! My first car was a '71 Ford Maverick, automatic, 302 V8 (blue of course) and for the most part, I did all my own motor cranking myself - I was always a tomboy, so, it seemed a natural thing to do. Sure wish the wing windows and hand-crank windows would return; also the ability for a fella or fell-ette to get greasy if they want to without all the computerization of everything. This truck would surely be super to own. Love your detailed demonstrations/explanations and Derek-isms! Uff-da!

I hope you can keep the shows coming as long as possible!! Grew up in PA our old ford tractor had calcium filled tires, got the 3 bottom plow stuck on a root and almost flipped her over... wheely bout 3 ft off the ground glad nothing broke when the clutch was pressed ... Great way to grow up, the Manure shoveling ... I could have done without!! Nothing with wheels would fit in the barn with the way my dad built it!! He should have shoveled all the manure spreader loads!! I am sure you know how that goes!! Love the whole family being involved, One of a kind show!!

    This being the south, an area rich in racing culture and lore, there has GOTTA BE a Plymouth SuperBird out there in an old garage or sitting in an old barn or something like that. THAT would be BOTH a Revival and a Show Stopper at any car show she drove into.

    and the foam, steam is your best friend when doing seats. Steam will reconstutute the foam, help the material stretch and remove any wrinkles.

    Cuz I too suffered from a broken drive retainer years ago, to keep it from falling off, clean the stub well and giver a single wrap of black or red electricians tape. Red goes well with your red driver equipment shown. It keeps it on and works for a long time. Works like a charm. Then re-wrap it when you have to. Best of luck.

    Awesome work Derrick! If I had to use the 6 cylinder.... I'd do seats, guides, valves, bowl and port work, forged flattop pistons with 9.5 to 1 (pump gas friendly), roller cam, an intake and header, 3 inch single exhaust in the stock location, and Holley injection. Put a 5 speed in it and a 3.50 rear gear.

    Derrick I have a Honda VTX1800 candy apply red, less than 14k miles, I’ve not ridden it since my knees and hips wrecked (>5yrs) been in garage, coated in dust, needs a resurrection and if you reach out to me, it would make a great show. Just needs new juices and a battery and cleaning. Never ever crashed, no dents or scratches. Is a cherry! Am 66 and just can’t hardly walk anymore. It’s literally a VGG gemstone
