Man the fella that paints the lettering, and artwork designs, is incredibly talented. To paint all that by hand without even a stencil, or anything but a brush, is crazy skill. Very creative too. Amazing work!

By far the best youtube channel and automotive channel on the youtube. Blows me away he's at 1.79 million. Should be 5-8-10 million by now. Seen every video he's ever made multiple times. He's also got Vice grip lodge and little grip garage also.. we need more. Especially on the Lodge channel Sir !!!

[@industrialbeatnik]

Seeing that radio/HVAC portion of the dash brought back memories. I got my license at 16 in 1992, my stepfather had an obs Chevy extended cab short box. He changed the engine to a 350 and did the transmission. The first time I drove it, my stepfather asked me to back it out of the driveway, I didn't realize the tailgate was down and backed into a neighbor's car. The tailgate completely pierced the driver's side door of his Chevy Lumina. I don't think I ever drove that truck again. Ahhh times.

[@ClassicAutoRescues]

I don’t understand how you arnt the most popular car channel on the platform. Consistent uploads. Always doing stuff for the fans. And of course, the best content and personality. I will always support Vice Grip Garage!

[@newtonfirefly3584]

@@ViceGripGarageDerek along with his lovely wife Jessica along with their three sons accomplish these many entertaining, enjoyable, delightful videos along with their participation in many automotive events. Am certainly looking forward to seeing Derek and Jessica participating within Wick Week 2024 with this Motion Raceworks ZZ632 "Work Truck"' Doug, Andy and the MR Team have certainly selected, chosen a wonderful team, VGG to represent them during the SW event along with the others from MR. Have been thinking about which of the VGG vehicles would be involved, used, participating in SW 2024. Derek had shown the "MonteBaro" recently in a video which was clearly under "re-construction", "re-development" especially the drive train. Thus, was thinking that vehicle might be ready for SW or for other Drag& Drive events as RMRW, HRDW, etc. As always, there are others within the VGG "Fleet" which certainly can be prepared for use within SW 2024 too. Which of the VGG, if any will be used and by whom during the upcoming SW 2024 event ? Your videos are always enjoyable, appreciated along with Your chosen involvement, projects and "Give-AWay" projects too. All The Best and Much Success in Your Quests, Health, Happiness and Well Being to each, everyone within the Derek Bieri Family, Friends, Associates, VGG, etc., Sincerely

Free hand artwork is a long lost art with most going to vinyl. Love it.

The painted decals and pin striping is a dying art. So cool to see a master of this craft at work doing this

[@gage123000]

Your a awesome person so many people look up to Including Me! Stay positive keep up the work! We appreciate you

[@ViceGripGarage]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@StephenWindmeier]

Clear looks great over the lettering and the bare metal. The blue tint goes well with the truck.

[@alanprather8399]

agreed. for not being done in paint booth looks really good. clear is hard to do right and not get orange peel. looks good.

[@Patrick_Cooper]

I love that, "We got to test it out" My mom had an old 64 Galaxy 4 door. I would check the oil for her, and add some if it needed, but then told her. I should run it around for a bit to mix it together. She, bless her heart, let me. This was suburban Portland Or, early 70's. I finally got a ticket, and that ended that...

[@heyomayeah9237]

can't believe that officer didn't understand that the ol' galaxy needed to breathe a bit, get some fresh air, can't keep a lady like that cooped up, she needs to run free..

Awesome work done by the crew at Volunteer Muffler, they've done some more really high quality work on this truck. The lettering work looks great too, really adds that little extra flair! That truck is going to be an absolute monster on the street and drag strip!

[@TheW83]

The lettering is amazing but I think it’s a bit worse off with the blue candy on it.

I agree, the mixologist recommended it, and was BANG on.. it looks so good, I want to go find an old blue truck..

[@marknelson4068]

Don't care to be a "hater" or "Karen", but my opinion is that the blue candy/tint should have been sprayed a bit lighter to showcase the hand lettering and the original delaminated gray paint.

[@SLOCLMBR]

@marknelson4068 it's still all there though, just takes a closer look. I'd bet the camera is nothing like seeing it in person

I LOVE this gen Chevy. I had one too, just the regular 5.7, which I gotta say- we couldn't blow that sucker up and we tried tried tried! A couple decades later, I can't wait to get another one. I have an 80 Winnebago with a 950 Holley 4 barrel and a 350, (they gave it a little extra kick since the EPA wasn't letting them put the 454 in them at the time, and also it's 4:11 gears on a 3 speed t400 gearbox so in the words of Derek, she sings high going 55. I think around 4000 at 60 😂 but a guy still doesn't see any leaks and the oil pressure is STILL @ 60 😮LOVE me an old Chevy.

[@jeffreygalle4613]

"Did I ruin it?" My bleep bloop is NO. You found a way to embody what that truck is - an old rig with a story to tell that was given a new beginning. Your care to maintain the history and tale of each vehicle you feature is admirable. It has inspired my son and I in our plans for my father in law's old truck that we are rehabbing and getting back on the road.
