As a vet, what a wonderful thing you did for that vet and the family. I wish we'd have seen the reaction but man....what a cool revival.

I normally don't leave comments, but this one hit deep in the feels a little bit. I lost my Pops 2 weeks ago. I've been rebuilding his 99 Chev Silverado but since he passed it been hard to look at the truck. Him and I both served and watching you bring this car back to life for a fellow vet has been a blessing to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us joy and for inspiring us to be better humans.

Don't give up on the old truck. He is still right there with you working on it.

I would love to take a road trip like this one again. Decades ago my brother and I would drive 15 hours without really thinking about it. Nowdays it's painful to even think about driving 2 hours. The reason you are doing it makes it even better. Your a good man, Derrick.

Wish there were more people in the world like Derek, incredibly smart man, limitless knowledge, and a heart of gold. Thank you Derek for giving me all this content to watch when I’m feeling down and need something to pick me up. Wouldn’t be getting through this crazy life without you brother👊🏼🙏🏻

An absolute outstanding fella you are. Prayers for a speedy recovery for the owner. This story definitely pulls on the heart strings..

You're a good man D for doing what you do for our veterans...my hat goes off to you. May God Bless you and your family in all your travels and endeavors.

Between your exhaust guy Chad, Dan the interior man, and the rest of your cast of characters, you really have an awesome thing going with your channel. Thanks for sharing all you do!

[@dantheupholsteryman3611]

Thanks!

[@jspaulding4106]

@@dantheupholsteryman3611 Oh, hey! You're welcome. I really enjoy what you have done on VGG projects. What an awesome set of skills, and amazing attention to detail!

[@Tinstar2]

I love your videos and how generous you and your wonderful family are with your time and gifts. God is truly blessing y'all in the same manner that you are blessing others. As a USAF Veteran, I really do appreciate this video. It made me cry and brought me to my knees in prayer for the Vet, his family, and you and your family. Stay safe and may God continue to bless you and your good works. Thank you.

And thanks to Derek for showing such kindness to a veteran!!! Great channel!!!

[@squathi]

Your passion for cars is what brought me to your channel. Your love for people (your family, friends people you work with and a veteran you don't even really know) is what keeps me coming back,

[@lessexton31]

Since finding your channel here. I've learned so much just by watching you do the things you do. Growing up never really had a father figure to show me how to work on things so I've had to learn things the hard way. I'm pretty good at figuring out what's wrong on my own. But just wanna say keep up the good work and thanks for doing what you do. And teaching people things.
