Replacing Floor Pans In My Square Body Crew Cab - Vice Grip Garage EP99

On this episode, I'll finish up the crew cab metal replacement (so far) by dropping in new floor pans and inner rocker panels. The outer rocker panels were replaced in a previous episode. After fabricating a few smaller patches, I'll seam-seal the welds, rust treat, and primer the joints, then por 15 the panels. In the future, I'll undercoat and seal the bottom side of the crew cab to finish off the project. Coming up will be a vintage air, air conditioning system, and Dakota digital gauges.

Well, I'll be dipped. I just figured something out. He started this channel so his family wouldn't think he was crazy talking to himself whilst working on vehicles.

[@EricV63]

I think he watched Dora The Explorer for tips first. Good Job Derek, keep it coming! Just don't weld the Tanya Harding to the floor pan or you'll cuss like Tonya does, and she cusses to shame a trucker.

The first 18 seconds in this video was probably the best intro i have ever seen. A guy can´t wait for the rest of the video!

[@EsotericArctos]

One of the things I love about Derek and VGG is how genuine the content is. It all feels real and genuine, like we are being drawn into part of the life, almost like friends or family. A lot of KZbinrs lose that when they get a lot of subscribers, yet even with over 1million subs, Derek stays genuine and doesn't try to change the way he is. Respect and kudos. This is what keeps me coming back for more.

[@kjscoop7025]

Love your channel Derek, you help motivate me to work on my rigs, sometimes with cold snacks. You always put a smile on my face brother. : ) I'm out of room, driveway's full a guy needs more land. Both sides of my family were from North Dakota and Minnesota, moved to Oregon and brought Ufda with them along with other sayings I don't remember now. Both my grandmas spoke Norwegian, and English. I still use it to remember them mostly. Growing up my friends made fun of me, wait they still do, Doh! lol

My grandma was from Minnesota. And she was the only other person I had ever heard say “Oof-dah”. Thanks for reminding me Derek.

Derek, In the beginning, you say "huff da" - funny as this appears as a Norwegian expression probably survived among the immigrants to your area. Keep on the good work! Your show gives me a flashback to my school days when I worked at a scrap yard recovering parts from salvaged wrecks in the 70ties. Disassembling the Beetle engines with the old flame wrench was one of the specialties then.

[@flynnflakable]

I like how I'll often be watching a VGG video and think... that thing is just garbage... it's just way too far gone... oh, it's even worse than I thought... it's a waste of time to even mess with that... well I'll be dipped, he sure did improve on it some, but it's still junk... wow, that part turned out nice, maybe it's not so bad after all... hey, that's turning out pretty good...
