Inspired me to buy farm find 1993 Silverado pickup from auction that needed to be brought back around... My youngest daughter now daily drives it.... I credit VGG for inspiring me to take a chance and go save an old ride.... Thank you, Derek.... Just keep being awesome

sometimes, that is the best type of funnel for the job. Especially for really dirty stuff that you don't want to have to clean up after. I always keep a few empty gallon jugs from washer fluid, etc. Mostly to cut and use as funnels. Not something I need often, but they sure do come in handy on those rare occasions that I need one.

I would have been a nice guy and put a new gas tank sender in after all that work, but I can see that might not be easy to get back in a flip sale. Really enjoy seeing the follow-up of a rescue.

I can see why it grew on you, Derek. Every bit of work you did to it, the car responded with a positive vibe like it was just saying "Bring it on! Lemme show you what I can be!"....and boy doesn't she look great! Beautiful colour - and those pinstripes just make it something special. I'd be proud to be out and about in something like that. Can it be improved? Sure - but she looks a million dollars from 10 feet now and when you're cruising along, that's all that matters. Great example of what can be done to bring a car around with a bit of physical effort, some time and - crucially - with little money. Awesome job, mate! All the best from here in New Zealand.

I consider Imperials overlooked classics! All were built in limited numbers as they were expensive cars in their day. I grew up in the '60's. The free standing headlights were unique and a nod to the earlier Imperials designs of the '30's. Thanks Derick for spotlighting a late model classic car and bringing it back to life. Your efforts are appreciated!

I love this!! The American dream on video tape! Ok maybe not on tape but I'm old cut me some slack. A hard working farm boy and his hard working wife have worked their rearends off and have built a great life to raise the next generation of hard working Americans!! I love the videos y'all it's family friendly entertainment at it's best, but it also shows folks who maybe have never had the luxury of knowing a country family how great it is. God, Family, Country, yes I know a lot of people put Country before family, I don't feel that way and not just bc old sleepy is at the helm. Just my opinion. I am a proud fan of the Vice Grip Family!!! THANK Y'ALL!!

@@bgee461My son was home on leave from the Marines and I gave him a full set of wrenches to keep back at his home on the base. Dadgum they took them at airport security . The only option he had was miss his flight back and be AWOL so he could keep his wrenches or not contest them and let them keep them. I fully understand security on airplanes but wrenches?

It's great to see Derek work on something that I was in the passenger seat along for the ride back home ( not physically). I really like the Imperial's rear section. Simple yet elegant at the same time. I like the tail lights. Derek, when are we gonna see the return of your brother ? I laughed so hard when you two were working together... You having fun... Him looking at you like you've completely lost your mind. Hilarious !! Thanks for letting me hang out with you for a bit. I really appreciate it.

After being one of the first UK subscribers when Del Boy was rolling around on the dirt floor of his first garage I watched a full episode for the first time in a long time and was mighty impressed by the content - what a lovely car this is and what a shame they are no longer made for us to buy new these days! Brought this rig back from the dead. Del seems to have come a long way since the dusty days too! Well done son!

Derek I loved watching you pick up this car and I am so glad you went the extra mile to get it running right, use the fuel tank instead of gas cans and cleaned up the outside so nice. This is definitely a car to keep, I love the sinister look of the front (reminds me of the possessed car in the movie "The Car"), and it has a lot of history as Chrysler pioneered many new things (many of which did not work), and lastly old "Blue eyes" himself Frank Sinatra promoted the car to help Chrysler and got one of the first off the line (only to be abandoned after breaking down!). I love this car so I wish you the best, take care, bless you and your family!

I, too, like this car for some reason! I think it's a combination of the maroon color, the wheel & tire combination, the eye pleasing classic long hood/short deck styling, and the fact that back in the day, it was a "top of the line" personal cruising car. I guess. I just like it. Oh, and probably the glass hood ornament! I remember seeing them in parking lots back then, and always thought they were a neat touch!
