Boy that master cylinder looked like a nightmare! Really nice work on that one Derek!

[@pathlawncare744]

Wish we could stream it from the App but now it's junk... Complete Junk... Like most parts these days as we all know. We love you Derek Beerrrieerrei(is how I pronounce your name to people's) truth. Can you please talk to your MotorTrend people's for us Fans so we can stream it from the App once again like we all could before the Good for nothing needs to Go 'update' they just did. Please man. We beg you!!!!!

[@Nathan-mw8bv]

The master cylinder on most chevrolet car and trucks are terrible. I have a 1946 chevrolet truck and it took a can of wd40, heat and a lot of cussing.

[@1978JonBullock]

The time to worry is if Derek ever says he has a plan.

[@balcorn9211]

When Derek says "that was waay too much" us VGG fans gotta say "perfect!" It's involuntary!

[@GRAZINGARIZONA]

This is true, I do that.

[@beezlebub3955]

I know and I was almost a little upset when he didn’t say it! 😂

[@chucksherron]

​@@beezlebub3955it probably got edited out just like the rest of the normal process. Going from the front seat straight to the power barn without looking in the trunk for engine parts first just isn't right.

[@CareAgainFishing]

When I was growing up, my Dad flew from our home in Upper Michigan down to Texas on a business trip. Instead of flying home, he drove... in a '51 Chevy "hardtop convertible" (which wasn't really a convertible, but had the LOOKS of a convertible) just like the one you have here. He was amazed when he got it home. "That car didn't burn a single drop of oil!" I have really fond memories of being in that car with my Dad. "Son, are you prepared to engage FULL CRUISE MODE?!" "YEAH!" On the command "Engage!" we would furiously roll the windows down, and then make a big show of leaning back in the seats as we slowly rolled down the streets of town. I miss that car. And I miss my Dad.

[@grinningCat531]

I know how you feeling...for me it was a 1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic...and my Dad...i miss him ...Life is good... but it was better when your dad had your back :)...

[@larrysmith8728]

Derek , my first car was a 51 Chevy . My dad and I put new floors in the front. With Old metal truck signs he had gotten from where he was working.i drove it to school.bought it from my uncle for $25.00. I love that old car. that was around 1961 or two. Love your videos and rescues.

[@JohnWood302]

Great job Derek! I cannot believe your persistence! Always a pleasure to see your work!

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

Now that was a cool rescue Derik. I have always liked the profile and looks of that year Deluxe.

[@gordocarbo]

Same..great looking car, nice lines not toobig or small. Real USA steel in these..imagine being a body guy back then and having to hammer and dolly that thick stuff, yikes!

[@brcron007]

Congratulations on all of your Success Derek. You deserve it. Your a "Movie Star" now 👍👍👍

[@w.rustylane5650]

I was born in 1951, so that car is 72 years old. Cheers from eastern TN

[@geraldlarue2312]

Need to do more shows with Derek from vice script garage. He is hilarious and makes the show entertaining.

[@genetomblin2883]

Derek is the best thing on KZbin. I think it's easy to see that the GM under floor location for the master cylinder was less than convenient. Even in California were I'm from rust made removal a challenge. The fact that you did not have a hanging break pedal was not worth the complications associated with the geometry.

[@rupe53]

You have to remember that floor mounted brake pedals are a throwback to the days of mechanical brakes and LONG linkage rods along the frame. When they converted to "juice brakes" they left everything else alone.

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Derek

[@wrightsroadkill5626]

I know what I'm watching when I get home. The complete episode! Derek, as always you did your thing. Both my kids think we are related. I don't over think repairs, just get them done!

[@rayadams5076]

Wanted to let Derek know that my first car was a 1950 Chevrolet DeLuxe 4-door sedan. There was more chrome on the inside than the outside. Even had a tube-type radio...it had to warm up before you could hear anything. They are great cars.

[@HikingTheSonora]

What an incredible car ! 3 speed powerglide baby wooooohooooooo!

[@1unsung971]

That's a car I would love to have. Well done on being so patient with the brakes. A thankless job everytime.

Nothing beats VGG. Watching this, makes me appreciate the real thing. No offense Derek, buut stick with your channel. Much better. But loved the revival nonetheless.

[@paddywop1]

This was a fun video to watch. I get so jealous of the amount of "barn finds" for these types of old cars you have in the USA. Keep it up. Real pleasure to watch.

[@Jo_Wardy]

In Australia where I live it sucks cars are worth like 10-15k AUSD or more. And any good cars are 20k plus dirty rigs that’s aren’t very popular are less

[@stevebilenky4059]

I wanted a Corvette so my dad in '61, bought me my very first car, just like this one. He paid $47 and I named it the "Rat" cause it wasn't a Corvette. Had a blast learning about cars and even took the engine out to hone the cylinders, valve job and re-shim the bearings. Did it need it no, but I did it. Found a '55 Chevy Bel Air convertible rolling chassis and sold the Rat to one of my friends. That was a looooong time ago.

[@johnmoorhousedecorated-nam899]

My grandfather taught me to drive three on a column in the 51 Belair. Drove it when I got my license prior to army draft. Brings back memories. Learned a lot about engines.

[@larryblack1944]

Great job! I like to see old cars brought back to operation. I hope you can restore this 1951 to "like new" condition. My Dad had a 1952 Chevy from 1952-62. A nice car. Keep up the good work!

I got one of these in the early 70's as a kid. It had sat since the early 60's. It was suprizingly easy to get going. Even converting to 12 volts was easy. It was a very dependable nice riding car. The built them like tanks back then.

Seeing you use the air chisel and hammer brought back memories. It was miserable in the shop. I would lose my mind in the field.

[@trevorcozens1677]

My Dad had a 52 Deluxe 4 door back in the early 1970s. He had all the rust removed and replaced with steel panels done the traditional way. He had it finished in gunmetal grey. I was lucky enough to learn to drive in it. I think it had a Blue flame 6 cylinder with three on the tree.

[@melvinjones3895]

My dad had one of those, I ruin the motor mounts then he went to a 56 Dodge I a got him to order the Sur-grip read end . We had snow and a big hill to go up that was not paved. It worked great. only had to shovel one side. Thanks for this one.

[@shawnmckinzie9481]

That was almost as easy as an Australian finding cheap freight prices from America! My 1950 Styleline brakes were pretty easy too. And by that I mean I replaced them after they didn't stop the 350 V8 I put in while idling at stop lights. Even the new brakes aren't great.... perfect! Really awesome to see you have fun just like I did with my Chevrolet!

[@ramblerdave1339]

My Dad bought a brand new 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe in a stunning battleship gray color. We had it for about 2 weeks. Went to the movie house one night. Came out after the movie and were interested to see a bare spot where we left the Chevy. Authorities found it next day upside down in a ditch right where the joyriders left it. Short but sweet history with the totalled 2 door sedan.
