I could listen to Chris talk about his collection for days. I enjoy when someone has such knowledge of the history and engineering of their cars. A true car guy.

[@sts3884]

I was about to just about to say the same. This guy should have his own show. He was so knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

Chris is a real car guy, very interesting to "listen" to and no ego or "look at me" attitude.

[@alonzoalvs8226]

It has been an honor to see your television program and now your KZbin channel and see that freshness of the art of making true jewels of automobiles is preserved, and from an old car, polish it and turn it into a diamond. I have seen several TV shows on various platforms but I follow you because your Garage Monkey team makes us live the day to day of incredible car changes. Thanks for your work and keep going. It has been exciting to continue watching each chapter. From Mexico the best for you.

I like that you're giving Chris room with him second thoughts selling the dragster. Friendship is far more valuable than buying and selling cars.

Chris has such a knowledge and collection of pictures and facts about things he own. Such a fantastic collection of cars. He could open up museum while making tours telling visitors his stories.

I remember watching and talking with Mike while he was working on the Digger at his shop off of Reeder. I worked with Mike Burkhart across the parking lot. I almost got a ride in it. Glad to see it is still alive.

[@randomname3715]

He's probably the best guest they ever had. You can tell Richard respects him so much. He also helped him start the show by buying that car

[@c.d.morgan4760]

I watched Mike Minette build the Digger. I knew Mike Haley that was his shop partner on Reeder and they both worked in the engineering department at Rochester Gauges on Harry Hines while I was in the tooling shop there. I would love to see this car again.

[@scottscott6794]

I have been away from the show too long, and now I am a loyal follower and customer. Richard you bring back a ton of memories I truly appreciate that more than you could possibly know thank you sir I am a loyal follower.

[@buddysinsight9834]

Here’s a little tip to anyone watching this video about buying cars. Never look to excited about a car until the deal is done otherwise you can relight the spark for the owner to want to keep it. I thought Richard and Chase was going to start humping the exhaust pipes in this vid. Also take a trailer big enough to remove it straight away and pay the man cutting the connection. You know what I mean Richard hahaha.

[@maxrocatansky5516]

Also water is wet...thanks captain obvious.

[@rickhay9782]

I love the garage trips where we get to check out different cars and projects along with gaining knowledge about cars that are heritage pieces as well as works of art. Digger will find its way home...

[@christophevw2241]

Exactly that! Seen some beauty's hidden in someone's garage is just fun to see.

[@HexxHenderson]

A man is only as good as his word. Chris made a deal and shook hands I’ve been there many a time and regretted it later but I gave my word and I stuck to it. A few years ago I had a guy offer me a collectible guitar from a famous musician who was an inspiration to me I made a deal the guy backed out a year later he reached out he was in need of money and was willing to let the thing go cheap and I told him no thanks even though I wanted it badly! It seriously pissed me off that he backed out after we had a handshake on it.

[@since1961]

@@jimmycline4778 now he was jumping at the bit for that car I would have loaded it up and left the coop for him to drool over and you would have had both titles in your hand and the digger in your shop the next day?

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

As sad as it is to sell your baby it would be reassuring to know that he won't change a thing but preserve it's provenance/history and only do minor tweaks. And his sketches are truly amazing!. Overall one helluva guy and his appreciation for the builders original vision and willingness to preserve that is unmatched in my opinion. This was a great video and I thank you as always GMG for sharing the story and journey with us all. 🙏🙏🍻

When someone asks "What's the point of rat rods?" I think it should be mandatory to show them this video. The story behind each build holds such an immense meaning along with an amazing story.

[@-joe-davidson]

There were no rat rods in this show.

[@slynn5138]

I didn’t see any rat rods in this video? There is a huge difference between a hot rod and a rat rod.

[@Bugholeexcalibur]

The Digger is freaking amazing. Put a nice interior in it, chrome pipes and heat shields and that thing will look mean as hell. heck yeah!

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Rebel Without a Cause is such an American classic. Couldn't be more fitted for Chris to own this car.

[@jamesarnett4129]

You showed some class at the end Richard talking about the deal going sour with your friend Chris. It's easier to come a cross a good car than a good friend. Good friends hard to find.

[@davidh6818]

How good of a friend is he really,though? If he wasn't ready to sell his car he should've politely said "it's not for sale".That being said,once a deal has been made and you've shook a man's hand it's final and the deal should be honored.

[@hall_moto]

Last time they saw each other was 10 years ago. Not friends. Richard is playing the long game for the other car he liked in there now.
