[@moparman1962]

Derek, I have rescued/gotten running and taken home quite a few vehicles that sat for a long time myself over the years as a bona fide car/truck guy. One thing I always took with me when I went to buy or pick one up I had already bought was large packs of unscented baby wipes (Walgreens, yellow soft-pack, 500 count I think, $1.99-$2.99, dirt cheap) to quickly "dust" and clean up the inside after hitting it with a shop vac. Unscented baby wipes don't make the interior smell like baby lotion, they are already the right amount lightly wet and they don't tear or leave little pieces like a lot of paper towels do...and you just toss 'em when they turn black or brown. You might consider trying it one of these times to see if you think it's a simple, useful, vehicle-rescue tip. A bonus of having unscented baby wipes with you is they are great for quickly wiping your hands, wrists, arms off while working on the rig and on the way home. ;)

It featured a structural oil pan, a stiffer redesigned engine block, sequential fuel injection, and revised aluminum heads. Output for the L82 was up 20 hp (15 kW), over the previous Gen II LH0, to 160 hp (119 kW) at 5200 rpm and 185 lb⋅ft (251 N⋅m) at 4000 rpm. Compression ratio for the L82 was 9.5:1 and the bore measured 89 mm (3.5 in), while the stroke was 84 mm (3.31 in) giving it a displacement of 3.1 L; 191.3 cu in (3,135 cc).

Definitely one of the best drive it home episodes so far on the channel. The mid engine AMC was a complete gong show of a car, but this one set the bar even higher. I thought for a minute you might just go for a road side head gasket replacement. Probably not worth it at all being only a couple hundred miles from home.

[@MadSceintist]

That engine is famous for lower intake gaskets collapsing and mix the fluids. I've helped make several of these conversions out of fiberglass and aluminum. Most 2.8, 3.1 and a couple 3.8 swaps including the 3.8 supercharged

At least you got some exercise and enjoyed the countryside ! God Bless You And Family

[@levizurch9480]

I'm not even sure how a guy finds things like this , but I absolutely love it!!!! Great video Derek!

[@bryanb6931]

I think the real question is, Why would a guy make such a contraption ?

[@brettjacobs242]

Cuz he could.@@bryanb6931

Wonder if it will warp when it gets wet !?

[@JulianKing-q8j]

Could have the fire dept follow you home :)

[@Peke399]

I love how the odds are stacked against you, but you always seem to be able to push through with a positive vibe and outlook. You are an inspiration to me when I am faced with adversity. Love the content as always!

[@eero3516]

Couldn't have said it better, things don't always work but mindset is everyhing and luckily moneys not an issue. awesome feller!

[@ChristopherBix2]

Sitting here by myself and just busted out laughing when Derek pulled out onto the road blind, hollared, “Comin’ out!” and the braced for impact. OMG! 😂😂😂. Still laughing from that and then he’s turning off the car at the air pump and says, “Man, I hope someone steals this.” 😂😂😂😅

[@AllenSalisbury-fu3fv]

This is one of the greatest VGG episodes I've seen.

[@misterbojangles6205]

This is your pinnacle video of all time. BUT gotta give it the props it deserves, brakes worked. didn't have change the gas tank AND you have (sort of) tail and headlamps (sort of). Speedo worked (kinda). You gave it all you had. I've been there.

[@pepperonipounder]

Should definitely put a good 2.8 and transmission from a fiero just so it can move around reliably and find a local school that still has a shop class program of some sort. This is a crossover project that could really inspire someone to see the potential in the art of carpentry

[@MadScientist267]

But ditch the PRNDL lol

[@SugmaDLigmaNutz]

It's a bit of a lost cause for making it legal...

[@lancemartin6]

Sorry about this one, Derek! It was a heck of a nail biting episode. If you don’t feel too compelled to burn it to the ground, it would be cool to see a different engine put in the Lumberghini. Or maybe an attempt at rebuilding the engine. No pressure though! You’re the man! Thanks for the entertainment! 😉

[@crankshaft129]

Hey there brother! I love these videos, the ingenuity and skill that you use to bring these cars back to life is honestly astounding! your videos have inspired me to finally work on my late grandfathers 1953 studebaker champion. im not sure if this is typically a thing you do but as a person with little automotive expedience outside routine maintenance would you ever consider a video or a series documenting some of the best ways to diagnose issues and determine their fixability on these old cars? id love to see something like that

[@greatalaska6429]

As a carpenter I have to say that ole boy did some fine wood work.

[@Nastynati0513]

The subtle "man, I hope someone steals this" was hilarious.

[@brucepietro6046]

I purchased a Lithium Battery powered Portable Air Compressor last month. Got tired of putting quarters in gas station Air machines. Best thing I ever purchased.

[@RedFox3226]

Fantastic video! As a 6' 3'", 240 guy, I felt every move when you got into the car. Congrats. You did it!

[@PsRohrbaugh]

As a 6' 3" 300 guy, I'll just walk 😂

[@hrothgars5992]

He spent so much time determining whether he could that he never considered whether he should!

[@dwightvoeks9970]

Best one ever! I was dying, especially when you pulled in next to the dump trailer. You could have just as easily driven that thing in it and nobody would have mistaken it for anything other than debris. Your skills at limping home varying compilations of transportation is incomparable.

[@deltajohnny]

Great comment!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ChrisWilson-rf8cs]

Really surprised no one though of this but... LUMBERGHINI .

[@ChrisWilson-rf8cs]

Oh shit someone did think of it. My bad

[@DustinRhodes-tb7mk]

Honestly I'm impressed with the lumberghinis construction, it seems as though at least 73.8 percent of it is well designed and constructed, feller did a good job with the home made kit car, maybe Derek can redesign the roof so it fits a giant size feller better? I'd be interested in seeing VGG carpentry action

[@jerryffvt3722]

Or T-Tops, that way his taller frame could stick out a bit...of course, Derek might have to wear goggles at that point to drive it.

[@thedoors620]

garbage

[@DannyBeans]

I don't think anything will ever beat the mid-engine Rebel, but this is a close second for "weirdest labor of love" you've covered.

[@dougsmaintenanceshop5868]

This is awesome! I'm not even done watching this one but I love it!!! I'm waiting for the back story on this one, how many beers were involved where the feller told his buddy, "I'll bet you I sure as hail can!!!" 5 years later, and many trips to the 3/4 MDF pile at Lowe's and wham-o.

[@danielvitolo2595]

You remember the part from Talledega Nights, “My legs, I can’t feel my legs” 12:25 Same thing 😂

[@iguanamoat]

Love this type of on-the-road-survival content, much respect for hanging in there until the bitter end. It may have been suffering, but it wasn't for naught!

[@stavropulos]

Man I laughed hard at the Bob Vila comment. You’re one of a kind boss. Thanks for the vids

[@ViceGripGarage]

Glad you enjoyed

[@CanadianArchaeologist]

I loved this episode. I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. When you were washing it I was like no! Now it's going to be heavier all soaked with water and be too much for that tired engine to handle. Well this probably wasn't the best investment but maybe the KZbin views will make up for it. I also like that your videos are longer than most KZbinrs. It is definitely worth every minute to watch. Very entertaining. 😂😂😂

[@stanB950]

I agree 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@eriktoth5423]

Seen some thumbnails about this car! I’m ready to dig into watching this show ! Put the kids to bed and ready with a cold snack or two to watch this one of a kind find…crazy build!

[@boared21]

Honestly surprised a guy didn't swoop on that suburban , I was waiting for it to happen and it didn't. Kinda cool to see a failed trip , doesn't happen often but goes to show it does happen. Love these videos, keep on keeping on ! Can't wait for a slight update on the woodburghini!

[@justinwise6950]

Right? Especially since he said he regretted selling the one he had before.

[@baddawg3380]

I think the only update we'll see of this, is watching the little humans roasting marshmallows as it burns in the center of rusty acres. LOL

[@stevencimini3556]

Yeah, I think I would of parked the Lumbergeni and finished the trip with the Suburban. Then later come back with a car trailer for Fiero.

[@jlanier6]

This is the vise grip garage that makes it great ! Back to the basics! Loved the video.

[@MoreBear]

32:12 - The reference to Bob Vila was on point and hilarious. I was already subscribed but if I wasn't I would have just on that alone! Keep up the amazing content!
