I take a 1200 Mile Road Trip for a 1966 Chevelle Rescue. I put together a 355 small block chevy with some parts laying around the garage. I loaded that up and drove it to North Dakota, where I purchased this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle site unseen. I spent weekend putting in the motor and transmission – then attempt a first start with the new engine followed by the long ride home alone!

Thanks that was a great video I really enjoyed it I know what you mean about them radiators not cooling down that Motors hell they didn't want to cool down the straight six back then straight face telling it like it is I loved it you are definitely Discovery Channel material look forward to your next show
You got me hooked on Berry men's. I went to Walmart and bought 10 cans
One thing that has worked for me in the past when the engine runs hot .As crazy as it seems i turn the heater controls to hot and turn the fan on full blast . It provides another way to cool the engine coolant. And of course you have to open the windows on the vehicle.
Like the Incubus playing in the background for a minute, took me back.
I found one where a guy says carburetor!!😮
That's pretty darn good Derek with parts just laying around did the damn good job sounds really good
Where are the real early episodes? The pocket comupter says derek started youtube in 2007. But i cant find anything older than 2018. I wanna see the real stat of this derek

Wow your skinny.
2024 anyone?
I still love going back and watching year old videos.Derek
Holy cow** can't believe it's been this long***
It’s 2024. Just saying. Beard increasingly got magnificent throughout
2024😅
Hey old buddy! I've watched you for all these years and somehow missed this jem! I truly appreciate the work you have put into your channel to make it what it is now. I feel encouraged watching this that someday I can do some cool things that you have and maybe make a video or two of it. Thanks for being you. Junk's Automotive
Vintage Derek! Skinny guy back then!
Blast from the past .all ways nice to see old episodes. where it all started..
Do you still have the Chevelle and when you put the 350 motor in
I also had a 64 chevelle 300 w283. sure wish I still had all those classics that I had back then in the 80's,
Derek may have put on a few pounds, but he is the same guy now that he was six years ago. His video production has sure evolved. That last part about "a big thanks to my cousin or nephew or whatever the hell you are" is just priceless.
Just pretend it’s not running hot!☺️🤦🏻♂️
My how you've grown! I love the old stuff and your latest content, just seems a natural progression. Proud to have watched the changes in your media maturity over the years. Keep doing your thing, Derek!!
Skinny version Derrick has total napoleon dynamite vibes 😂😂😂
Wow, so young
I like coming back and watching the old eps. He gave me a lot of inspiration to work on the cars I have. Early shows were all about budget builds. I revived a 63 Dodge 880 that sat for 30 years just by watching his vids and getting idea's. Today I pulled the 46 Dodge out of the storage shed and got that going. Like to see him do a show of setting lifters for the old flatheads.
Happy 4th of July, 2024… Vintage Derek!!!
That music…..MUTE….lol…Great video
I decided to rewatch all of a fella's vidjeos. 6/26/24
Derek, now I’m convinced you’re Adam Sandler’s long lost brother!
Lol… I'm glad his brother wearing a long T-shirt when they put engine and transmission together.. Love the channels. ALL of them.
Yes
guy was infowars guy! based!
"Seat foam"😅😅😅
Derick is still just as informative and humble here as he is today!
The VGG OG "Will it Run and Drive x Miles Home?"
The success Derek and vicegripgarage has had since these early days is fantastic.
A shroud and electric fan might help with the cooling.
Suggestions for the future:
Paint it and wrap it to look like NASCAR
Spoiler and ground effects
NASCAR side pipes
Remove chrome and hood ornament
Removeable carbon fiber hood with pins
Racing seats/guages/fuel cell/ stainless steel rollbar
Suspension upgrades when 💰 available
Racing steering wheel and linelock
NASCAR knockoff wheels and tires
I had a 64 Chevelle dirt tracker that was a BLAST to drive!
WHY did I sell it??🤷🏁
I could just sit around and watch your videos all day man…wait a min…. I have been. Well, too late to get a start on anything now… might as well just watch the next video in line. Or maybe I'll just take a nap. Thanks Derek.
