Converting Stock Computer to Holley Terminator X on The 6.0 LS Nova!

[@dogalcorn4292]

Can't believe anybody would complain about winning any car much less a Derek special. That would be an honor

[@jaybee8858]

Congrats on the first place at LeMullets 🏆

[@hemichargerrt01]

is there going to be a VGG perspective video?

[@chetSeminole]

Waiting to see Bentley rip the LeMullets bike.

[@Drvanosdrand]

The man is GIVING a rare car away not to mention $15k and people here are COMPLAING ? WOW I'm blown away by that ! Derek, You don't have to explain anything, it's all in the video and Thank you for giving us the chance to win this very nice Nova as well as the Cash

[@scottwilliams1976]

That's exactly what I was thinking, I think some people just live to piss and moan

[@Kowboy931]

My thoughts xactly!!!

[@joeysmith-p4l]

nobody understands anymore they don"t understand anything but pissing and moaning if ya don"t like what the man does leave the channel is the way i see it

[@brianellison3525]

Rare? It's a phony with an ls. Old news, not rare. Old nova's are a dime a dozen around here.

[@brianellison3525]

I just said I don't want any computer crap car. I'll take the cash, but someone f*cked that car up. Cute phony paint and an engine swap. No big deal.

[@JimPenix-u1v]

I watched a couple of other "garage" type videos, but a guy's personality is totally what sets VGG apart from the rest. VGG is the preeminent channel and is one of the best things about Friday night.

[@DavidCampbell-bg7id]

Agree💯% VGG 👍👍

[@pvanhorn12]

I love what you are doing with this Nova, I'd love to win it!! Sadly no room in my budget to enter. About your wheel choices, your taste is impeccable and that car suits your choices perfectly but,,,I am partial to Chevrolet rally wheels with beauty rings and center caps!!!

[@RobertMiller-b5l]

The Nova is wonderful!!! Do not worry about those that knock it. My Grandpa used to say "Some folks aren't happy unless they are unhappy"

[@charlieadams4529]

You just can't do nothing nice nowadays! Derek if a fella is giving something away, do it the way you want!!! I'm 47 and was a mechanic till last July when I lost my vision. I still watch every Friday night with my kids and they describe what everything looks like. Thank you for giving me and my family memories of what I love.

[@alandillon6469]

Damn man I'm sorry to hear that! My mom is nearly blind and it's tough seeing someone you love go through that. Thank the Lord for your family, God bless man and hang in there!

[@davelowets]

Sorry to hear, but just curious, can you actually watch videos?

[@cliffness420]

Having the opportunity to meet you friday and getting to see you win was definitely a check off the bucket list. You are genuinely a great person.Thank you for the opportunity

[@brentjacobs7083]

I drove a nova in high school. This will make a nice 48th birthday gift. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@LorneJamesB]

Some lucky guy or gal is gonna be the proud owner of a sweet rig right there!! Thanks for all you do Derek!!

[@koerodriquez8845]

From one mech to another… we leave our stuff, good enough. But we do our honest best on other peoples cars. Which is gold. You’re the best.

[@davelowets]

Maybe for you, BUT, I do EVERYTHING to the best of my ability, my OWN stuff included... If you DON'T have the time or the money to do it correctly the first time, the HOW are you going to manage to have to do it TWICE?? 🤔

[@Rob-Müller]

This Nova really brings back memories growing up in the early 70's. Old retired neighbor had a similar one. Hoping the shop cat makes another appearance. Thanks Derek for the Friday night entertainment! Your the best!

[@mikedavis7455]

Thanks for the opportunity to win this gem. Good luck to all who participate!

[@robertmorin6495]

Wire by wire you sorted everything out to get the new harness installed, working, and looking neat. What a great job.

[@fredpelton6045]

I'm 80 years old and I love the changes your making with the Nova , I had a new one in 1972 green with a 3 speed and V8 .

[@dirtyroofer3678]

I had a dark green 71 , in 78 3 speed 6 cylinder. First column shift car I ever owned or drove

[@stevek6425]

I am just old enough to appreciate this era of car and young enough to appreciate the new upgrades your giving it. It's beautiful. Thank You for your vids

[@kurdisshop243]

Man for someone to talk negatively about a man giving away this car is mind bottling i love it! I love what you do and your content thanks Derick!

[@Dad_with-boys]

The nova looks awesome, reminds me of the one my folks had when I was a little tyke. My boys have it in their heads that we are winning this car but I am doing my best to keep them planted in reality. You are definitely an asset to the car loving community!

[@RandyH-qf3dc]

Derek and Family. Sincerely! Thank you for thinking enough of your fans to give away this beautiful Nova, plus cash. Even more, thanks for the donation of your time which is something you have precious little of. Anyone should be proud and happy with this. For those critical of the car or the parts etc , hopefully you don't win it. For the rest of us, good luck, but sorry I'm pretty sure I already have the winning entry 😉

[@jeffburns1092]

Sorry to hear Roadworthy Rescues has been canceled, but I watched you here before that show, and I’ll keep on watching you here. Thanks so much!

[@swensdawg]

Terminator X decoding process reads out: "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"... Older guys will get that reference.

[@kurdisshop243]

Lmao I remember those commercials

[@michaeldavis3430]

Just a lousy ad...😂

[@jonesy6396]

Only because of Ralphie on A Christmas Story.

[@Knight_of_NI]

I’m old and I do 😂🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@swensdawg]

@ little orphan Annie is counting on you!

[@davidlyons6545]

Big Dave here, because of you and your family you make me a better person. I'm right there with you late in the night. Don't forget to have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@ViceGripGarage]

Appreciate the support and you too!

[@clicknstack1398]

That is a really cool project. Thanks for takin' us along. Whoever wins that thing will be happy as a lark. :)

[@bobbyhagood821]

I'm about to swap a rebuilt 350 in my daughter's 93 Silverado she snaked from me that I got at a farm auction.... 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!!! ❤

[@normenderle550]

Good for her that’s an excellent truck to learn on!

[@Rob-Müller]

Good Luck Buddy! Do anything special on the 350?

[@billybuilds]

Good luck brother! Hope I can engine swap my old truck one day. Congrats 🎉🎉

[@dennisstack5652]

Really looking forward to the day I get to put that beautiful Nova in my garage

[@williamkennedy7083]

Me too 😊

[@MrRawiga]

Me three

[@swensdawg]

I look forward to the day I can get one of them Terminator X doo-hickies in one of my rigs, looks awesome!

[@psilver063]

I’m more into the exterminator doo-hickies, it’s a secret of the fellars and don’t your worry the fellettes too:…….

[@donsidell-cp2hy]

You have the best show on KZbin .. makes my day every time I watch you. Thanks for helping an old guy feel GREAT !!!

[@smokeystriper]

Congrats on your Le Mullets win.

[@joemansueto1414]

Derek…I had an old Nova SS back in the day. I appreciate the opportunity along with the rest of these fellers and felletts to have a chance to win this rig. Thanks man. Appreciate you and the family. 👍🏼

[@marvincarter870]

Derek the master getting things done and making the new wiring harness much neater than the old mess. Parts are always a problem and hold up these builds! Good video Derek and a guy is doing justice to this '68 Camero!

[@scottliggett877]

It's spelled Camaro, not Camero.

[@w.rustylane5650]

It's time for the Friday night video by VGG. Cheers from eastern TN

[@DW89-t1j]

Thank You Derek. Life gets crazy, and down right HARD sometimes. Not many things in this world that I can count on...But one of which is being able to sit down and enjoy a good clean video made By Vice Grip Garage. Been watching you since Day 1. Sad to see Roadworthy Rescues get cancelled. Their loss. But honestly, true fans started here and remain here. Thank You Derek & Family.

[@timscott1066]

That Nova is shaping right up! Also, every shop needs a Theodore. Such a good cat🥹

[@chadbarnard3443]

No matter the confidence and honesty, you show in your work and video, then, you’ve inspired me and millions of others to have confidence to take on projects we wouldn’t normally try. People still question you!? You say it’s a solid car you have me sold. Great job y’all.

[@gkeener07]

Derek, As a kid we had a 68 Nova in green. I loved that car and was too young at the time to be able to keep it in the family. The Nova you're building is awesome. I hope I win it!

[@tfoley455]

It's too bad about road worthy rescue. I'm so glad you didn't abandon this channel when you started that show like most did.

[@stickyfingers67]

Boo the haters!! You and the wife and Bently demonstrated the 1st EVER, start to finish harness installation, that I've ever watched. Knowledge is priceless. Thanks for what you do

[@richkozlowski9073]

A guy is really generous to offer all his knowledge, family, entertainment and a free car. Always look forward to new episodes on friday nights. Top programming right here fellers and felletes.

[@shawnkane7152]

Look forward to hearing this Gem run and to see the tires and wheels yous chose. I think flat black would be sharp!🇺🇸🙏

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Just placed my order for a chance at this beautiful vehicle. Wheels stock Yenko style. Y'all know some people are only happy when unhappy sad. Thank y'all for sharing. All y'all have a blessed week.

[@ericfallis6202]

I honestly love seeing Old glory out of the window 😊

[@davelowets]

Great subject for a video! SO many guys are doing this today, and don't have a CLUE how to do it... Thanks for showing us your install!

[@phroug2]

Derek, you just might have given me the confidence to attempt my own LS swap. Thanks man!

[@gregvandy34]

One hell of a car. This is a car I’d never part with. Enjoy it in the summer and polish on it, tinker with it in the garage over winter. It’s just a beauty from all angles. I love these novas and It’s now been modded to perfection.

[@Sniperman1238]

Who’s ready for Friday evening!!!!

[@KennethGalanius-ss3wn]

I’m up and movin my gittin is goin

[@petebrandstrom1038]

Thank the Bieri’s for taking me away today. Good friend had a stroke and went into hospice today. Dirt in the paint = paint nibs. Needs a good polish, great looking car someone will win!

[@sputnikalgrim]

Now it’s officially Friday evening!

[@ghostoxide9603]

Amazing work! Can't wake to hear the startup after all the hard work🎉

[@chrisearls4220]

Plopped back down in my recliner again, and what do you know!!?? Another VGG episode! I don't believe it but I have to cause a fellers lookin right at it!

[@gadman58ful]

I had to smile at this. My first car, in the late 80s was a 71 nova, 350 4bolt main. 2 barrel turbo 350 2:42 ratio rear end. Put M60 on the back 75s on the front on Cragar SS wheels. Headers then flomax mufflers. You could feel the sound. My dad loved that car.

[@DeanColwell-m7y]

I can’t believe that someone would complain about the car. I love what you do and I would be so grateful and excited to win anything.

[@jackjumper4231]

6:41 @ vice grip garage. Thank you for all your videos. I was in a situation. The other day battery went dead. Had to buy a new one. They didn’t have the right one so I got the closest one. It was too tall hood would not shut so I thought what would Derek do. So after I went down my back neck. I decided the quickest solution take the hood off the truck. I can honestly say before I started watching your videos. I would’ve never thought to take the hood off of a truck to drive home.

[@TorquePowerVideo]

Some people would complain if they were given a million bucks. You just keep on doing your thing, and that car is gonna make someone out there VERY happy!

[@johndunbar4660]

Who put these dangled hundred-dollar bills in my pile 5😂

[@WadeStockton-me1no]

Been looking forward for this all week. Used to have a 69. I have a 73 now. Thank you for the shows.

[@67GTO]

YES!!!!!

[@kellycollins9266]

For mounting in the engine bay or firewall you can use a rivet tool (aka) nut zert tool and it crimps a nut to the hole you drill and it’s permanent and a clean installation

[@kellycollins9266]

I got mine on the Jungle web

[@brianslaugh3029]

This is one of my favorite giveaways love every thing about it people think that giveaways should be perfect in all ways it’s free so what ever if you don’t like the giveaways don’t enter

[@georgeponnay447]

Roadworthy Rescues is what brought me here almost two years ago. Sorry to see it go. So proud to be a member here! Onward and upward VGG!

[@rynosraceroom66]

Dude , your a freakin rockstar ! You have too much patience for knuckleheads . You know what’s right for this ride & anyone with any sense will know that if they’ve ever watched Vice Grip Garage before . Thx bro for the great content 🤘🏻🏁

[@GregoryPoole-h6f]

Absolutely love this nova!!! I’m a Pastor and if you ask anyone in my church what is my dream car everyone will tell you a 68-71 Nova Yanko! Doing a great job Derek, enjoy your family friendly garage environment.

[@Tom-h3s4x]

I couldn't believe that people were pointing out "issues" they have with the car... ...the giveaway car... ... that someone will get...for free... ... WITH money, to boot... ...a LOT of money. For the record, IF I am fortunate enough to win it, I'm pretty sure I'll STILL be shouting, "HALLELUJAH!" all the way back home. Seems to me, when you're given such a gift, gratitude seems to be the best way to handle that kind of thing.

[@chrisdesotocunit]

It’s not just about a car there will always be another car but not another fella you have a lot of knowledge and experience . Awesome videos.

[@nobodyspecial-d5j]

friday night at work, and VGG pulls through for me. thank you. and got my VGG fitted hat, gray with american flag, love it

[@ViceGripGarage]

That is awesome!

First car I ever drove was my best friend’s 74 Nova. Absolutely can’t wait to hear this “Bring the Thunder”. Thanks for another awesome video

[@LanceMayeda]

I think that the car looks amazing and whom ever wins it is the luckiest individual to get it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tubbsy58]

The nova is such a beautiful car. Engine bay is nicely organized. Coming along nicely.

[@larrylister]

My family has struggled with some medical issues over the last few years. Your videos are a great distraction every week. Keep up the good work and his bless you and your family.

[@Michael-ge8qb]

I really enjoy watching you and your family work on the car I never had the opportunity to work on cars with my father

[@jont8707]

Well ill be dipped i just want to say you hands down have the best personality on KZbin and no need to explain yourself man anyone would be lucky to win that beauty 👍🏻

[@Joe-pg3kg]

My dad had a British racing green 69 Nova when I was little he had to sell it to make ends meet and I almost cried when I saw this car. I hope to win it for him.

[@normenderle550]

Always down for a good tutorial on a digical Wally Box install I enjoy this kind of work. Also looking forward to getting hands on that complete rebuild spray you’re developing.

[@nickydepalma739]

Brass ends on the push rods will allow an electrical current to be applied to the engine oil . Gas Mileage , goes as high as , 169 MPG . The fire in the engine fuel making contact with the electrical current in the engine oil will make spirit fire appear in the engine . All Fire , emerging in Engine, disappears into Spirit Fire . The Rings , with electrical current in them , makes pistons disappear drawing from stroke , and appear ahead . That makes rust disappear .

[@ericcouch7583]

The Nova looks amazing!! I can't wait for the call!!! Im in Washington State, Spokane. Its -0 degrees fahrenheit during winters sometimes to over a 100 degrees in summer we have 4 seasons and i would drive that car 9 months out of the year!!!🤠

[@garbagepilegoat3182]

I used a Milwaukee heat gun for a defogger during Sickweek this year. Worked like a champ.

[@BarrettAnders]

That's a crazy upper rad hose.

[@jmcdivitt2579]

I got my Dixxon a week ago and dang its awesome! Best flannel I own!!

[@jmtzzzy]

Love the lights coming on to start the day.

[@anderpendragon]

A fun way to declone this car would be to change "Yenko" with something funny like "Honda" or VGG. That way you aren't repeating "No it isn't real" every time you drive it. Gorgeous car. Whoever wins it will be incredibly lucky.

[@rexkean]

I had a 73 Nova back in the early 80's. Nothing this cool, but I loved that car. Chicago got down to -81° F with the windchill, and cracked the block. I didn't have the money for a motor,so I sold it... I sure do wish I'd kept it!

[@geoffstartswithg]

I love that car so much! Thanks for the chance to win it, I can't express how thrilling that would be!

[@Lucians_legacy]

This is a beautiful car, and I would be happy to drive it. A guy checked the mail a few days ago, and I got the stickers I ordered. Now I just want the weather to cooperate so I can get a couple of them on my truck window

[@Gringo4Mexico]

Spotted a guys light last week so I bought one. Also worked well when a storm knocked out power for a few hours.

[@GeekGinger]

Just when my brain is done working for the week VGG comes through with an hour of content to get me to quitting time. Appreciate it!

[@hokieboy4791]

If I won the Beast of a Rig. I would gift it to my long time best friend. He had a 71 Nova back in the early 90s. He always wanted to restore it but life happened. Great job as always on your builds.

[@thomasbelzer2825]

Love your redoing this Chevy nova yenko! Also enjoyed the 78 Ford F100 that you did & gave away a few months ago. Hello From Northern Missouri! Keep up the good work. Nice to see your son helping you! You are a great Dad!!

[@davetitterington6272]

That is a car 95% of people would be proud to drive, and someone is going to get it for maybe the price of a sticker or keychain is pretty amazing. Derek and Jessica it is awesome that you can and do this for us fans.

[@hammacks4]

Please!!! I think the car looks great!! Anyone would be lucky to get this!! If a person thinks there is something wrong with it..... then don't try to win it! Keep up the great work!

[@jdwise1279]

Man, that Nova is super nice, and you`re making it so much better. I`m not fond of complainers. I like the wheels, and like the old school look of factory rally wheels. I had a `69 true SS396 that had the, you guessed it, Crager SS wheels. Mine was a 4 speed. This car brings back memories.

[@stevezanone2937]

Derek, you’ve convinced me. If I ever do a Chev-rot-let , ls is the only way to fly. Without a doubt

[@quailstudios]

Not feeling the greatest tonight, getting over a cold. So sittin' back, putting my feet up, watching and listening to Derek sounds like a good option. Ahh...

[@1958yankeefan]

Beautiful wiring job Derek!

[@chrisjohnson-xq5kw]

Love this build! Me and my wife been trying to get into the car seen for a bit. We have a 85 K5 Blazer that’s half way done. Budget build. If we won this I would gift this to her and make it a family affair to take the car to some cruise in events! Love the show and what you’re doing and about. Long time fan!

[@johnneykrew]

I really appreciate all the extra care and time you're putting into doing things right. Great work bud!!

[@tylerthomas2350]

Well a guy already mentioned, I want the Nova but I have a 67 Barracuda that needs saved from a storage unit in SLC that needs to come home to NC. Keep up the hard work!

[@FichtelUS]

Cold snack time with Derek! Perfect! Thanks for all the work you (and your family) put in to entertain all of us fellas and fellets out here

[@Shadow-kn4ug]

Love what you're doing with the Nova! Wiring looks clean. What a difference. This car brings back memories of old as my second car as a young buck was a 73 Nova custom but it only had the 350. Looking forward to the startup. Bring the thunder!!

[@eyelfindu]

I LOVE my new Vice Grip Garage Dixon insulated flannel!! A guy feels right wearing it. Just may go ahead and buy the other color now just to double my chances!!!

[@cgccormorant13]

You do you the build and put whatever your brain says will help the Nova pop. The car is awesome and am liking the tutorial on all those upgrades/ mods/ changes you are doing. Cant wait to see the final tadah viewing.

[@michaelfoort2592]

When I see you doing electrical harnesses I start to develop. some serious respect.

[@shawnthieme8592]

Derek you do very good KZbin videos I love them all I know there are people that watch and give you grief but just remember you can't please everyone. And I know you do your best all the time. Ps would love to meet you and your family one day

[@baconfarts3211]

Love the Nova and what you are doing to it. The '68 Nova has had good memories for me, as my late brother had one back in the '70s that was a grandma owned car with a 6 cyl and 3 on the tree that we spent overnights in our parents driveway pulling the 6 cyl and putting a 283 in it and changing shifting from the tree to the floor, what an experience! Then we had to change to another 283 because the first one's rings went and it was a crop duster for a while. When we first changed to a 283, my brother actually got the front tires to lift off the ground a bit on his victory burnout after the change. Fun times were had by us. Great build you are doing and love your fam and your channel!
