In 1980 Freeda Purchased this beautiful low mile 1978 Anniversary corvette. She loved it, and cared for it. She spent quite a bit overhauling it, and making it look great. Years down the road, her daughter would inherit it, and thereafter the daughters son, my friend. That's where a guy comes in, and where this '78 is parked in a barn. I'm going to do everything I can to get this car back on the road and running once again!

  • Can a guy really say thank you enough for everything you give us? 2 hours and 47ish minutes of VGG! What a way to start the weekend
  • As a 50 year old man, I can honestly say this is literally become one of my favorite things to watch in my lifetime. That is including the awesome TV shows of the 1980's such as, The A Team, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider and even Saturday morning cartoons! These long form Vicegrip Garage videos are my absolute favorite thing to watch in the evening on my weekends. Thanks Derek for giving us great content on a subject we all enjoy... Fixing old stuff! Keep it up!

    Wow what a video. I am a 77 year old great grandma whose daddy was a "shade tree mechanic". Actually he had a garage and welding shop that he worked in part time. Watching you work on that car brought back so many memories. You have to love a car that can actually be worked on without having to hook it up to a computer. Thank you.
  • Derek's use of Mystery Oil. "I don't know what's in it, it's a mystery" never gets old and gets a smile!
  • The real hero is Jessica for letting Derrick tour the country just to keep us entertained. We appreciate you both.
  • @tlandon770
    This is a top 2 episode. Should be eligible for an Oscar for best comedy documentary series. But at this point Derek doesn’t need a stupid trophy to recognize his brand. It speaks for itself!
  • Derek’s laugh when something goes better than expected is so incredibly relatable!

    Please don't ever stop doing this. I love this type of show where you explain how the pump rod connects to the cam. Of all the old "sunday" mechanic shows they use to have on tv that died because they started getting too commercial. This is for sure the best shadetree, twoguys, trucks and so on show on the planet. Thanks for letting me hang out and learn a thing or two.
  • This is by far better than any feature film in theaters right now. Derek is the hero we need and deserve.
  • I am a 66 year old woman. I love to watch these videos. I am amazed and worry when you're driving them. Last night. I thought how lazy and soft i am. I love my AC. I cant imagine how hot it was while you put this car bCk together. Thank you for ALL that you do. Take care!
  • I'm a fan living here in Cancún, México. Today a customer walked into my place of work wearing a VGG hat! Super cool people! You've said it many times but the car community is the greatest. We had a lot of fun talking about your videos. Best channel on the interwebs! Cheers from south of the border!!!

    There is something relaxing about watching Derek work on a car.
  • @kevinsok3011
    This really is better than anything on TV. To put together almost 3 hours of high-quality content like this must take an insane amount of editing and behind the scenes work. Thanks for always pumping out amazing content! We appreciate it a lot dude!
  • All things dually considered. The VGG offerings are the best shows of any network, YouTube or Morse Code message. Period.
  • @JeremyArnone
    Tuned in for a revival, but ended up getting a 2 and 1/2 hour documentary! Can a guy just thank a guy! VGG Nation!
  • I can't sit and watch a movie for an hour and half but I have no problem watching VGG for 3 hrs straight, and great to see over a million views!!! on this rig in one day!!!!
  • We are so grateful for you Derrick, Jessica, and the family. Please remember to take plenty of time with your family. We'll still be here for you! You've helped so many people. More than you know😊
  • @jtreg
    I can feel your feeling of dread before starting a job, depressed at the state of that automobile, forcing a little song and a joke ... but your joy begins to blossom as you hyper-focus through the dance of the sockets, each one a win, bolstering you along one by one. We can hear it in your voice lifting and relaxing, zen consciousness, in the flow . You really love being in that engine, it reminds us garage heroes why we do it and those special times. Thank you so much for continuing with each two hours extended real pleasure we all share with you. Bless u man.
  • @mikebrunner1577
    I will be honest, you probably wont even read my message. Not many good C3s left anymore that have not been Molested. Please restore that car. It is more than worth it. What a great Vette. Thank you for bringing me along. I really miss mine.
