Wow - seriously, wow. Most definitely my favorite channel, period. (side note : I'm only 2 vids deep @ this point) It's like the best of Road kill* + a touch of Red Green to boot. Bravo sir, bravo. Cheers from the east! (Madison) * Back when they were good.

Hey Derek, I just purchased a 1972 Monte Carlo Custom. Original owner, numbers matching, fully documented car. Hadn't ran in 33 years. Got it home and did the Vice Grip magic on it. Fired up after twice priming and runs like a champ. Thanks for all the videos, they are super helpful and very entertaining.

[@stevbrkr]

I have found the easiest way to lower a vehicle is as follows. Tape a stick to the fender pointing down with the end above the ground at the distance you want to lower the vehicle. Turn on a hose pipe with a trigger spray outlet. Heat the spring in one spot with oxy-acetylene until the spring starts to sag. As the stick touches the ground quickly spray the spring with cold water. This stops the lowering and re-tempers the steel at the same time. Make sure you are wearing safety gear as you don't want scalding steam and water in your face and eyes. Should not take more than 5 minutes a corner. I am joking but I have seen this done, LOL. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your humour.

[@jamielunsford1]

Derek, revisiting some of your earlier vids. It's amazing how you've evolved through all the episodes, yet you are the same man! I'm truly a die hard fan of your channel. I just bought my dream project truck, a 66 C10, and will be utilizing a ton of knowledge that you've imparted. You're making a difference and are very much appreciated.

If you haven't already, grab a 1 1/4" front sway bar off a late 70s-80s 1 - Ton Suburban. You'll need the brackets too. I put one on my worn-out 67 C10, along with a rear bar, and can now actually keep up with traffic on freeway on-r ramps and curves. Huge improvement for relatively little cash outlay.

As my Ma says,"from conception, I've been a PIA", cause I will go outta my way to do everythang, that I'm told I can't make work, work! BTW, for all that say your not normal, thus makin you abbienormal, refer those unknowing Knowitall's to, the definition of, "Normal!", and watch them suddenly understand. Which BTW, has never happened to date as far back as I can remember, because being Knowitalls they can't grasp the truth before their bloodshot eyes. Not even when Ole Mr. Webster, takes a big bite outta both their cheeks, and spits em at their little piggies.. Nope, those that know, know, and those that think they know, can do the homework. Ya know! I say, crusty beauty rings, and the faded center caps, be perfect balance of chrome, gone faded and crusty, matches Her natural beauty marks just fine.
