Glad you enjoy it!

Agreed, I do enjoy watching a car refreshed in a good way. Mostly I enjoy full restomods, but I understand why that would take too much time and money to do often 😁

This is mostly an American phenomenon

[@Jason_556]

Exactly! Parts add up very quickly. I’m fixing to start reviving my 81 Chevy Scottsdale pickup. Been sitting 18 years. Lot of cab work to do. When I parked it I had just put a rebuilt 350 with 350 hp. Hopefully the weather will cooperate soon. Can’t wait!

[@mattw785]

I saw a vid with a new Chevy for $125,000. Whuh? Now these old rigs are like gold....

[@MaximusPrime-k6e]

I absolutely love this stuff. My Dad was a mechanic his whole life ( self taught ) and he inspired me to learn how to fix cars too. He started his own business and built it around helping people for a fair price, not taking advantage of people. He named his business "Done Right Auto Repair". Nobody has ever heard of him before but he is a Legend. Sadly he passed away a few years back. He never got to see this show but I guarantee he would have LOVED it too. I just really appreciate what you do Derek, you are an inspiration to us all. Seriously Thank You.

[@creativetradesman6833]

Watching you two put an interior in together reminds me of the gold 70’ Chevelle back in Minnesota. Y’all ain’t changed a bit! Still the same good hearted people doing the same thing that got you to where you are now. I’m proud of you guys. The fame hasn’t changed you at all.

[@_WyreTheWolf]

Just a bit of a tip if you are looking for black wood. Get a jar and put about 1/2 cup of vinegar and a roll of steel wool in and cap it off. Once the steel wool has dissolved you are ready (the finer the steel wool the faster this will happen). Dip a rag into the fluid and rub it slowly across the wood. It will probably only take an application or two to turn the wood a deep black. This is called Ebonizing. Good luck to you!

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thanks for the tip!

[@_WyreTheWolf]

@@ViceGripGarage Another thing that works really well and is cheap, speedball india ink. Can get it at hobby lobby for just a few dollars. That makes a great wood stain.

Seeing these old square body Chevy revivals takes me back. I'm a ford OBS truck guy now but, my first vehicle I ever had when I got my license at 16 was an 85 K10 Scottsdale with a 305. Square body Chevys are as american as apple pie. This brings back so many memories of my youth. I'm only 41, but seems so long ago. The girlfriends, parties, learning experiences I had in that truck. Thanks for keeping another one roadworhy for another 20 years. I may go back to a squarebody at some point.

Derek has one of the best shows I've ever seen....EVERY SHOW. Thanks again, for being such a great mechanic, a great DIYer, and a great man

[@haydenmcginnis1432]

43:55 hey Derek! “Expert” woodworking tip here- alcohol based leather dye works phenomenally. I’ve used it on some guitars in the past. Most of the name brand stains, like valspar, don’t have a good black (or even a nice dark one, my coffee is darker than it for Pete’s sake!) but an alcohol based black leather dye will make that grain darker than the molasses used in actual grain!

[@1101TV]

Great idea, I bet it'll work. Gel Stain is another option as well. I used General Finishes on the Kitchen table I built, but it may not be available locally. You can layer it to get a more specific color or darkness. Dyeing would probably be the quick and easy way though.

[@Waterloo_Bear]

Vinegar is a cheap black wood dye alternative. 🤷‍♂️ kinda accidentally figured this gem out.

[@richardbates2367]

My dad no joke stained an old acoustic guitar that was mistreated for years with coffee pot water lol

[@Gal0220]

My dad had a late 70’s, yellow 2wd Suburban that he used for logging and storing his tools in. He also taught me to drive in that rig. The thing I remember most was the heater that would melt your hands and feet if you weren’t careful. It was awesome!

[@spankyham9607]

When I redo clusters, especially Chevy of this era, I spray the faces with clear coat. I have found the letters and numbers turn into powder on some, and you touch it, it is gone. So clear coat seals them in place. Outside of that I do everything else the same. I also replace the bulbs for good measure and clean the contact pads and shoot a little lube into the speedo where the cables comes in and spin it with a screw driver to get things freshened up.

Remington is my all time favorite project of VGG! The same year and model of the farm truck I learned to drive in, hauled countless wagons of hay and silage, cattle trailer and gravity boxes of corn to town with, and feed home from town in. Truly was/is the "heartbeat of america" IMO!

[@kuhndog-1196]

You know your message at the end there is a real gem. The 73 dodge in my picture is my project. Bought it back in 2017 and didn't get to do a whole lot with until recently. Thought about selling it a few times but never could leave it posted for sale even though I had a lot of interest in it everytime. Now I just got a complete brake system put in it. New Master, rear drums and shoes and all that, converted it to front disc with parts from an 87 dodge, and even got to try my hand at running all new hand made brake lines. Now I'm about to get the stuff to rebuild an edlebrock I picked up for it so it will get a 4 barrel swap, then it's on to exhaust. Interior and body work will be the real challenge but man I'm having fun tinkering with it. This old stuff is so much more fun than modern automotive repair. I know because that's how I am funding this truck haha. I would like to end up in a situation like yours one day. A classic automotive repair/restore/sales type of deal. These things are just too much fun.

I’m sure Derrick won’t ever see this, but it might help some of y’all. When he starts trying to do the chrome ring around the dash cluster cover at 54:04, it looks a lot better and is a lot easier if you buy chrome paint markers. You can use a fine tip and they’re one of the only things that turn out looking chrome, most other things just look silver and dull.

[@Jason_556]

I have an 81 Scottsdale I’m working on at the moment. It was my first vehicle that I bought back in 91. I’m the second owner. Originally had 123 k on it. I’ve got over 450k now it. The old 305 cam lobes went flat. So threw in an old 78 350 with 350 hp. What a difference it made. That 305 grandpa motor was tired! 😊 it did go another300 k . Can’t complain too much. I’ve only broke down maybe 3 or 4 times, if that many. These old trucks are super reliable! As long as you maintain them for the most part. I change my oil religiously.

[@BryanDavis-q5d]

Hey Derek, just a trick about painting the bezel silver, while on the inner web I saw this trick , just use silver sharpie pen , works great, easy and cheap. Keep up the good work .

[@joshuamac6616]

Working on that bezel, sharpie makes a metallic silver marker, that looks awesome, and if you spray your Bezel black, use the sharpie to replicate your silver trim, and then clear over the top, it looks brand new If you mess up with the sharpie, you can wipe it off with alcohol and start over, but it’s really easy to do with the fine tip that it gives you I figured a guy would bleed bloop that for a feller.

I've only witnessed that once before, with a lady that was our supervisor, & I was just as astonished she had 3 grown kids. It's always heartwarming how well you two work together, both working hard, & your love for one another. Well done, & thanks for sharing your content with us!

I loved a guy’s pep talk at the end. Inspiring! Can’t wait to get an interior refresh going in my 65 Bel Air 👌

Life is like a dance. Sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow. Love the old sayings that are brought back to light from a simpler time. Hope you enjoyed your holidays and new year. Same with your followers. Always look forward to your videos, cheers Derek 🤙🏼

I dig the revivals, but I've really enjoyed the last couple weeks Derek! I like seeing them old trucks get refreshed! Keep up the great work!

Hey Derek. I am glad you discovered the appliance epoxy. I have used it so much over the years. I actually painted an entire 1987 Firebird with the white. It levels so well. It is hard and shiny. It actually lasts well with the UV too. Good on you bro.

Many moons ago I had an 83 blazer. Midnight blue, had a 395 in it. Had it for 8 or 9 years, even repainted it in my garage. Wish I had it back. Loved that truck. Actually traded it for a 69 c10 short step side I spent 2-1/2 years restoring, had it for 10 years. Wish I coulda kept them all! Doing all the work myself and was very satisfying to say I did.

Appliance epoxy is great stuff, I used some to paint the fork legs on an old motorcycle, even with no front fender it held up great.
