I just picked the 3 random winners for a B'laster T-shirt / can of Multimax Lube. If you don't see a check mark next to my name and a heart on your comment then its a scammer impersonating me. I keep blocking them and they keep making new accounts. Anyway... 24 hrs to comment back and claim otherwise it moves on to the next randomly selected winner. Good luck! BTW, merch link stopped working... Check out NNKH hats here: teespring.com/nnkh-hat?pid=763&cid=103367

Dry gas or isopropyl alcohol should take that sap off. It works with pine pitch but it does take some elbow grease. Use it along with a plastic razor blade. Gus has got to be one of the cutest puppies I’ve seen.

Hi Timo. I'm wondering which aspects of Chris' journeys stand out as signifying the differences in Freedom between USA and Germany. I'm not from USA although I do live in North America and, though I've never been to Europe, I don't think of Germany as a Country that's strict on personal freedoms. Is it really that different?

You've got big brass ones to nurse that car 2500 miles in the here and now!

Loving the Torino content. My grandfather owned a 74 Grand Torino and my favorite show was Starsky and Hutch. So when me and him would hang out my favorite part was riding in the Torino. My grandfather was a giant of a man, specially for his generation. He would sit with the seat all the way back with his head leaning to either side because of his height and his knees along both sides of the column.

That must have been a tight fit for your grandfather. I have a 72 Gran Torino and I am only 5 ft 10 inches. With the seat all the way back I am still wanting for more room. His probably had a power seat which gives you a lot more leeway. My 77 Cougar which is basically the same car had a power seat and that really helped a lot. They are beautiful cars.

I owned and drove a red 1974 Ford Gran Torino my last year of high school and first few years of college...I LOVED THAT CAR. When I saw the title of your first half of this revival-drive-rescue, it caught my attention and that is how I discovered your channel. Both videos were VERY interesting, entertaining, fun and cool. Kudos to you, Jen, Gus and the car (shall we call her, Agnes?)...all four of you were a great team, great mix and an integral part of the whole two-part classic American automotive mini-movie you created. Your explanations of what you needed to replace, why and how you fixed all of the issues was great, what a teaching moment for younger people and older people who may not be very knowledgeable about cars and auto mechanics. I loved it, please do more like it featuring early American iron from the 1950's-1976 or so. Thanks for the great content! (Like many Americans, I have watched Derek's 'Vice Grip Garage' videos since the very beginning BECAUSE OF his revival-drive-it-home adventure videos.)

For the fuel vapor lock problem, I've gone to a wrecking yard back in the day & found an old power steering cooler like the one already on your power steering pump & found a place under the car near the fuel line. Close to the fuel pump is best. Route the fuel thru it to cool the fuel. If you can mount it where air can hit it while being shielded from damage it will stop vapor lock, a common problem back in the day in Texas. Just showing my age here (I still know how to set points...).

I felt as though I was traveling with friends. Especially because I'm a former wrench turner myself, and a high school friend of mine had that same exact car. However his was black in and out. We camped out in it often. Usually near some fishing hole we found. Grabbed a 12 pack and a pack of hotdogs and a dozen donuts and between that and the trout we caught, poor man's surf and turf over a campfire was our breakfast, lunch and dinner, lol. We were good for two or three days. Unless we ran out of beer, but that was just a quick trip down the road to restock, lol. You guys rock, keep it up while your young. Cherish every moment.

Wow, when i first started watching this video, I thought you might be very little educated on mechanics stuff. Boy, was i wrong, You are very talented at analyzing mechanical issues and fixing them! I thought wow, that is really risky going across the country with such an old vehicle where anything could go wrong, but you fixed everything without really being stranded! Nice job and video. Gus and Jen were very cute and patient!

Not much beats a road trip across the USA. So much to see. I’ve done it a few times. It’s AWESOME that you have so much knowledge about automobiles and can keep ‘em rolling down the road. Blessings y’all.

That was a damned blast, and there is no way I could have ever done such a thing, making it just that much better. Jen is such a trooper, there is no way in hell that my wife would do that with me. Loved the camping stuff and Gus, he is such a gas. Thanks to both of you. HOpe there was some fun in all of that for both of you. Gus will not ever be the Gus he was before the trip, he's better.

That's a decently CLEAN old ride! And those dished aluminum wheels are great... Some of my favorite stock wheels ever, on any car. They look absolutely incredible when they're polished out and even better when they're chromed! Nice find!

I just came across your channel. Your laid back family style of recording is quite refreshing. I felt like I was on the trip back from Vegas with you three. The low key tempo and simplistic way you went about repairing the Torino along the way was almost zen quality. Thank you all for the trip, now I don't have to vacation the rest of the year. Jive Gus a scratch for me.

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this voyage across the Big Country. It had the lot, two great people, a great pup, a classic car perfectly in keeping with what was a rolling cinematic documentary of jaw-dropping scenery. What a wonderful road trip! Best wishes from England.
