Vice Grip Garage - Derek Bieri - Full Interview

[@ModelA]

I was on Roadworthy Rescues S1 E7 helping Derek. That was the most fun I ever had doing stuff with cars. And it was all because of Derek. Absolutely amazing, stand-up guy. And he never rests! When we weren't shooting, he was editing his YT videos on his laptop because he didn't want to let anyone down who depend on his YT content. No ego, no attitude. Just nice guy.

[@xprettylightsx]

I’m so happy I found this comment. I wanted to take the time to explain to you that I have seen most of Derek’s content and your episode with Derek on roadworthy rescues was one of the special ones. You did an absolutely amazing job on screen. You came across as a humble gentleman. Most people with your incredible knowledge can’t wait to brag and narcissistically act on that reality. You showed none of those traits which is extremely rare. Also, the simple fact that Derek would spend that much time with you and take the chance of introducing your personality into his production tells a guy everything he needs to know. I wish you nothing but success, God bless you and your family. Prayers of Joy , healing and wellness to you as well. May God bless and protect Americans like yourself like all of us from what we are going through at this present time.

[@Zippits]

VGG is the best auto show out there IMO. You have to know to make that happen it's a crazy amount of work. I know there are a ton of fans that appreciate their hard work.

[@417cameron]

Absolutely

[@darrellsnow5642]

Thank you for being you Derrick.

[@tthomaselli2]

Truck Talk Media- I'm a big 'Roadworthy Rescues' fan. This was an awesome interview.

[@BradColemanisHere]

VGG is my favorite show, period. When a new video comes out, I check to see how long it is, then find time on my calendar to watch it when I won't be interrupted. Absolute gem, really funny, and I've learned a lot.

[@sikes185]

Thanks to Derek I am reviving my 85 sierra classic after sitting in my garage for 3 years

[@canuckchris5733]

Owning my own small business for 50 years and only working within 30 miles of home is a huge job not to mention the actual job And I’ve always recognized your commitment and sacrifices you and your family makes every week At 67 I realized there’s never gonna be enough Money or time for everything that comes along so I chose my projects carefully and do what I love Great show guys

[@Rob-Müller]

You two really nailed it when you talked about the rural lifestyle and growing up back in the day. I grew up 2.5hrs straight north of Derek's hometown in Saskatchewan, Canada. This was back in the 70's and 80's. A farming community where 75% of the boys drove those square body trucks (and others). Many of those trucks had a gun rack in the back window with, at minimum, a 22 and a shot gun. And this was at school! Great interview!

[@robertschuler850]

Thank you for having Vice Grip on your show. I'm also from N. Dakota and have a square body chevy 73 C 20 camper special. I've had it alot of years. I don't have alot of money but Vice Grip has really encouraged me to keep tinking on it and having fun!!

[@juliepowell1715]

You and your wife are great parents! Thank you so much! Your videos teach so much more than how to repair a truck. Take care!

[@brianf8621]

Working on automobiles teaches you how to fail, think,adapt and overcome. I have people ask, who did you figure that out? I may have tried 10 times before I was successful.

[@vicswanby454]

I've been watching VGG for over 5 years now and haven't missed one episode! I have to say that feller is the real down to earth American automotive hero breathing life into rusty gold living his best life whilst raising 3 boy's and doing it right. Humble and kind that love's what he's doing. And he did this when the world really needed to see that kind of diversity out of a father figure that iconic Mountain of a Sasquatch doing great things with his family. While encouraging the people to give it a shot fixing and repairing there own projects. I purchased a bucket list vehicle that I wanted back it was my family car growing up and it was my first car that was stolen from the garage I had put it in storage in while I was serving our country overseas as a Marine in the 90s. It was never found and I didn't think I would ever have another one sitting in my garage. then I happened to stumble across a video of VGG and a 66 Chevelle 300 mine was a Malibu but I found one on market place last year and snagged it up along with a new used 454 and a 427 tall block I did the work myself and have been enjoying a car that was left for dead. Great interview with Derek he is such an inspirational person to many of his viewers. Thanks from that kid in all of us from 4 to 104 you bring happiness into our lives and that desire to get out there and get back to those better years of old.

[@BoomChild74]

First time viewer. Loved the interview. Fellow Montana native and my very first vehicle was a 69 long box with 71000 original miles. Last that truck in 92 when someone T-boned me in Havre, Montana.

[@BlankR3g]

My son and I watch Vice Grip Garage every week, and have for several years. I hope he doesn’t change a thing. Thanks for a great interview!

[@dave3156]

Great interview with Derek--I am a big fan of his show. Man don't get burnt out I enjoy your show too much. Get frustrated with negative comments he gets when he works on his own rigs

[@tonykemper8896]

This was a great episode! Derek and family are the best on KZbin!

[@philshock3805]

Good interview. Derek's shows are the Andy Griffith and Rifleman shows of modern day. Highly entertaining and always presented with a strong family-values message.

[@vontrotski1]

Thanks for getting our Big D in for a heart-to-heart, for me Derek has literally saved my life, tough times for me in New Zealand at 51 years old and 4 kids I love to bits, the raw answer Big D (that's my term of endearment for Derek so not trying to take the piss at all) about when he said I won't miss a football game or a parent teacher interview was just mind-bending stuff, 16 24 hindsight is a clear way forward and the 1980s building a 355 chev'y HZ Holden Ute with my late dad was and still is my fondest memory, next to holding each of my 4 daughters in my arms for the first time, thanks TTM and thanks VGG, salt of the earth I think is an understatement, my universe is in line with how I get through the week waiting to see my internet dad Big D 🤗

[@mvperseverance]

Way to go Derek! Such and honest and genuine guy. Take care of yourself and your family and there will always be time for content. Love your shows!

[@robertblue7997]

I absolutely loved every bit of this interview!!! I've been a long time follower of Derek and have really always wanted to hear a real interview and serious sit down talk/ interview. One of my bucket list goals is to buy a vehicle from Derek in Tennessee and drive it back to Washington to continue fixing up!

[@larryippert8143]

Sometimes need to slow down and smell the roses, your doing a great job, time flys by

[@danfrombam]

Good interview Ronnie. You asked questions that viewers would want answers to.

[@JamesWarnock-mk7up]

Way to go derrick the best ive seen yet love ur channel

[@aaronrichards5814]

Love the VGG family. ❤ Gotta fix dad's Buick

[@tc7584]

Derek is awesome. I've been following Derek for about 4 years only on.

[@jeremyjc1978]

I've been watching VGG for a bunch of years and ordered a set of good savers for my square body. He is such a humble and likable hard-working man. I've certainly learned a bunch from him and a few others I follow. This was a great interview and you also earned me as a subscriber. Long live the old pick ups!

[@stevelivingroom8176]

Great to see Derek sit still for a bit! VGG is great for hours of fun. I may get threats but I am a Honda guy and have had a few built here in Canada. Even so I respect Derek and his mental database of Detroit classics information as well as his great way with the family. Thanks for what you do Derek!

[@ttops83]

Awesome interview love VGG would love to win a day with Derek to get some help on my project

[@war7334]

Always good to see Derek on his show or anyone elses.

[@Ole-Red]

I had a 71 C10. Plane Jane. Red and white. Probably a city of.....truck. I loved it. If it hadn't been wrecked I'd still drive it. It had a 355 with a 700R4. 2.5" dual flow masters. 15 mpg....... It's a parts truck now but I had 20 good years of it. Maybe try to build my 69. Thanks for the show.

[@d.rayowens422]

Thank you, appreciate your candor.

[@robbiedavis3681]

Best content on KZbin! Don't worry about doing revivals just be you.

[@ChuckPackwood]

I was one of his first 2000 subs on YT. My favorite show on the web

[@markkeller1778]

This was great! First time I've ever watched. I just have to correct 1 thing, I'm 53, and yes it was "Dukes of Hazzard" on Friday night, with the"A Team" thrown in there, but Saturday morning was "Bugs Bunny & Road Runner" for 90 minutes 😂. The Smurfs were left overs during Captain crunch time. Loved this interview, I just liked and subscribed. Ps. I had Heather Thomas pink bikini, and Heather Thomas blue bikini on my bedroom walls. My other posters were vintage Harley's.

[@ericdaugherty3774]

I also 100%agree with the fact that I love the vehicle's that Derek works on and how he does it. But I absolutely love listening to him talk and how he does and how he narrates how he does it.

[@MarkDiggines]

Love vice grip garage and Derek. Such a great show

[@jeffreyrigged]

The not over paying thing when selling cars. That really shows what kind of person he is. This is why I started a channel. Dude inspired me. I hate seeing old things die.

[@bryandraughn9830]

Great interview with a great couple of guys. I'm extremely grateful to Derek for sharing his adventures cause I can't really get around much anymore. It means a lot to me. No Skyline? Maybe just one? That would be pretty cool!

[@darrellsnow5642]

Thanks for not excluding the commen man, while providing inspirational content.

[@chuckriggsjr.6021]

You keep things fresh by being real. By being funny. Also sharing your knowledge. Teaching as well. Keeping your family involved. Thank you for all you do. Be safe. God Bless you n your family. Rember to take some time to relax now an then.

[@MuddyFarmer75]

What I love about VGG he is real and does stuff the way anyone could he is only channel on KZbin I would watch 5 or 6 hour long videos his channel is that awrsome

[@thomaswilson517]

Well I'll be dipped. Truly great talk. Thanks C 10. Gonna go out and work on my 70 K10 now.

[@philoskill15]

VGG is the best youtube channel, Derek is such a gem.

[@MuddyFarmer75]

My dad ordered a 75 ford truck radio delete, no antenna, no mirrors, plain rims because soon as he got he put radio he wanted, custom mirrors and crager mags so he didn’t pay extra for stuff that was gonna be changed anyway

[@stubszero4867]

That was a great interview.

[@davidwhitman9609]

This was great. When my daughter was young there wasn’t VGG but we used to watch Junkyard Wars together. Sometimes I ask myself why I’m watching KZbin and not wrenching in the garage on my own junk and then I remind myself that I’m saving money by not discovering new problems. I’m going to check out this Orange slice truck now. Subscribed!

[@KensHobbies409]

This was an awesome Interview with Derek. Derek is very much similar to Myself. Like the old stuff where pour gas, make spark & make it run. More to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) system

[@modelbuildingcorner]

Derek and his family reminds me of what America used to be about. Family working together. I've watched every episode of VGG. The poor man works too hard.

[@wreckclues]

I put Shine Juice on an 809 series 5 Ton and it really brought out whatever patina 48 years of weathering did to Army Green, Air Force Blue and rust. Will be hitting her with the clear coat come spring...hope they sell it by the gallon.

[@adamellis3013]

I’m a Ford F100 guy, but love watching VGG

[@ssrevo007]

I seen these hood savers. The other day. And seen the description says 1973-80 pickups. My question is will they work on other years square body’s ? I have a couple 87 k10 and want to get these for them trucks before my hood get bent. Just wanted to make sure they will work on them. And as well as aftermarket cowl hoods ??

[@robbieelkins2301]

Brother, you stick to what you do. Don’t even worry about KZbin. You just keep sticking to your guns and turn in your wrenches, and will be here to watch.

[@chrisprieur270]

The part of this that hit home the most for me was "the truck no one wanted". I own a single cab short bed Ram in a combo that's rare as hen's teeth. Just a 2016 Tradesman with the HEMI and blue paint. Still love it just like I did in 2018 when I bought it and IT DOES get used as a truck by pulling my bass boat to the lake 75-100 times a year. Newer trucks with 4 doors just don't do it for me. In a time where everyone wants a big cab with a 5' bed behind it to take the kids to ball practice the type of truck that was considered normal is now being completely phased out.

[@graeme8800]

I worked at the Honda plant in Alliston Ontario Canada in the early 2000's and a complete civic came off the line every minute.

[@janeames1513]

can't be mad at Derrik for wanting to be the finder to put other folks in a decent project..he and Jessica are so down to earth and humble.

[@huero529]

Derek is that man .

[@firepinto]

Derek has changed so many lives for the better. I don't even share his love for the chevrolletts as he does, but I love to watch him work on them. I may have to follow his lead and move out of the frozen north too. 🥶

[@markmccabe934]

I love the Tim The Tool Man failures mixed in with Bob Ross calmness!

[@davidhall2522]

Hey man u may not get this I don't have social media but I wanna say . I'm a huge fan and super fuckin happy for u and ur show. Iv always loved ur videos man and I learn alot but 4 real cootos! Keep up the good videos man. We sure enjoy em! Waco tx!

[@Weyco23]

I had a 1991 C1500 short bed Sport truck. Sold it in 2009 to buy a 5th Gen Camaro. Wish I still had it. It was heavily modified. Lowered, Vortech supercharged, 4.10 gear. Not a speck of rust on it when I sold it.

[@GlennHall-k1c]

Thanks you make my day

[@JDWDMC]

Derek is probably the best human on the planet.

[@troynorton7627]

Love VGG but props to Ronnie for a fantastic interview. It’s not as easy as you made it look.

[@terrydavis7389]

great podcast. i really enjoyed it

[@JNC7601]

Great interview!

[@kevinwilson7919]

Old boy you’re awesome! You’re definitely staying true to yourself! LMAO on my lattes watching your content! It just feels right! Merica!

[@mikerecher59]

I think he is super talented with a corky sense of humor , fun to watch ,

[@TruckThisGarage]

Where you finding pre 1966 trucks for Pennie’s on the dollar 😂. Cause they ain’t in Wa State

[@jeaniepatterson2384]

I’ll watch anything Derek wants to do. Yeah revivals are my favorites. When I watched the video of Independence all I could think of was what in world does he want with that heap. Now I’m the biggest fan of independence! So what do I know?!?

[@brianrichardson7946]

I feel like you've posted a lot of content with rescue vehicles. I'd like to see you pull from rusty acres and do content in the home shop and take a few days off here and there.

[@clintcoker]

HAHA...at around 18:20, Ronnie calls my truck (2003 F-150, Flareside) "Ford's ugliest truck of all time"...lmao...he's right, it is ugly, but I love it...big VGG fan here..

[@StepvanDan]

VGG is real all day long and there dam fine ppl working there butts off ,thank you and Big hugs from MN 74 chevy P 20 redo tiny home ugh wire harness next .

[@gordonwalker8003]

Being a city built Chevrolet & Buick here in Flint Michigan..

[@krwd]

the long bed is the best for anyone who wants to haul a piece of drywall or plywood or aunt millie's sofa

[@corymerry3399]

You're not selling the trucks like before because of this crap economy we are now in. In my side business I've had the same issue. In 2017 to 2020 business was good. 2021 to curent, sales are in the red. I've shut down the business until things improve.

[@gordonwalker8003]

You guys realize Chevy is built here in Flint Michigan . The first c10 Blazer had a camper top on .

[@bowtiedude]

When I saw the Lumberghini episode I thought Derek's internal dijicals finally had a major short circuit.

[@kenmay4468]

I have a 71 chevy blazer i want to restore but ive gotten old

[@chuckriggsjr.6021]

I've had quit a few short beds Chevys n fords. Had long beds to. I prefer long beds. Can haul more. More stable.n you can hot rod them as well. My preference is 70's trucks.

[@EdwardVanmoppes-kv4tv]

I ❤ vgg and with the old vehicles you don't have to worry about emp attacks. They run no matter what

[@Kowboy931]

Derek makes it real...

[@Kowboy931]

In response to what a guy just said... after 900 squares gettin fuel dumped.... it don't matter how many you watch, every single one of those ladies have their own personality, flaws etc... THATS what makes watching his videos entertaining is because it's something new... each and every time! #vgg

[@awakennomore]

I've lately been putting VGG's full video playlists on random repeat to fall asleep. Not because it's boring, but because I can just focus on one thing, turn my grey matter off and enjoy. I wish I had Derek's level of motivation, maybe my 3 stupid cars (S197 Mustang GT MT, BMW E30, Mazda RX-7 TII) would all be better for it.

[@michaeldegraffenried6077]

Derrick 👍 🙋‍♂️ 👍

[@nosideleinadcm4274]

Lol hell this guy doesn't shut up. The guy should have interviewed himself!!😅

[@Kipperbob]

I tune into VGG, for fuel make it happeners, lightening make it happeners, sad cables etc, and of course Derek's non fictional storytime.

[@ericdaugherty3774]

Those OBS short bed trucks are like you are talking about. I'm sure it'll get worse but it's like that now.

[@robertforget6369]

i think part of the problem is the timing of when videos come out when you post a video i assume its from a couple of day ago but can be from two or three months ago sometimes its hard to fallow and because im from Canada to get any merchandise is out of questions no fault of your's

[@GlennHall-k1c]

Good guy

[@546cowboy6]

I know you try to get all your kids involved but Bradly is the one that will keep Vice Grip Garage going if you ever slow down. We know the other two are there but Bradley is the one. He even has his own show now.

[@bucknaked9095]

I think you mean Bentley. He is the youngest and has the channel Little Grip Garage.

[@marvinstoker4267]

68 72 I like if you have one restored it's worth alot

[@markmccabe934]

Pace yourself my friend! God... Family... friends... and Square Bodies in that order.

[@DianeEllis-xk1jj]

What I love is Derek's sons seem to be picking up on all this too. Carrying it over to the next generation and maybe beyond!

[@luissantiago9564]

Beiri is the fucking man he does to much work in hours he doesn't have. God bless him and his family.

[@brentpew4853]

Vgg is the best show ever. I want to know what he did for a living before the KZbin channel

[@904Flyer]

I would watch " Derek does basket weaving "!!!

[@ChristopherEisele]

If you could squish what America was back then into a vehicle, the truck Derek described is what it would be

[@natevanlandingham1945]

This says three months ago. But you reference North Dakota where hes from and then say i know "you see them up there" ?? Where are you at C10 guy? He lives in Tennessee andbhas for years??

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Hearing Derek reference the sea foam green truck with the hood folded up, I looked it up and that's from 2021 but Derek said "like the sea foam green that folded the hood up the other day" like it was recent? Maybe he just saw a newer video of it on the Internet somewhere and thought it happened recently? Or again I wonder if this is really an old article?

[@jakerumrill2948]

Man I'm so burnt out you are my idle

[@jamiequesenberry821]

people have no clue what it takes for a 20 minute video much less a hour plus video different shots and angels talking and reshoot of talking redoing stuff the challenge of noise plus battery change camera's not working in heat plus cold weather and working in heat, rain, cold, just to give people a great video. my hats off to you and all you do to produce or anyone that does KZbin it is hard work. a 9 to 5 job is a lot easer . I could write a whole day telling how much crap you do to get a video out. and that that's a 20 minute video he does hour plus. I think I would rather dig ditches.
