Body Work with a Fork lift and Winch – Can Independence Chevelle be fixed?

1. Put the engine in the el camino and name it El Luchador!!!!

2. Keep the car as a rolling chassis. Trailer life is where she is now. Rust is slowly taking the car away. Videos and memories will forever keep her alive and running

3. Man I love this car and everything it stands for!! It needs to come back to the channel Derek!!!!

4. Perfect

5. I absolutely love this car and I can tell Derek does too. Sure looked like Christine with those body panels moving.

6. dam make a Mopar guy cry over a chevey

7. I know I'm late too the party but I love this car an every thing vgg reprensts

8. Should put a deflated football behind the drinker side upper dent and reinflate to bring it out.

9. Derek, i been beepoppin through your content on this car. before i made the offer to forge a knife from a spring..that was before i learned just now that its a memorial car..listen…i still want a piece of it but i wanns tell a fella ive got some IBeam from ground zero..id like to combine the steels. and send ya back a knife made from both.
   just let a fella know..
   and no sir, i dont want no clout. just my way of saying i appreciate ya.
   thanks
   Shane

10. Late to the party and have just finished watching the build! Such a cool car!

    I feel your pain on damaging this one, but man you've done a great job straightening it out!

11. Man you really go so far for these cars. If it were me i wouldve just got a decent condition chevelle and transferred as much from the Independence as i could

12. Museum piece . Car #1 in the collection. Big screen showing all INDEPENDENCE action over the years on a loop. Lifesize cut out of a guy himself and pool to throw quarters for kids . I figure a hunert grand a year for charity.

13. Derek tour the car so people can see she's a driven memorial 9/11 and continue letting people see her take selfies with her I think that's an awsome future for her .

14. I was gonna say tractor as anchor, but fork lift works!

15. Independence has some Christine in er

16. I never miss a new video

17. Digital the Starsky and Hutch wheels!!

18. You had a really nice blue Chevelle I think it was a 70 what happened to that

19. There's all kinds of people out there there's Rusty rat rod people that like rat rods made myself I don't but you're one of them guys that likes rust so it's your car you got to do what makes you happy with your car

20. Yard art. Put a 350 in it so it's mobile,or to take to events. Park it someplace by the shop or where you and anyone that's at the shop can see it. Take her to town once in a while to knock out the cobwebs. She's had a good time it's time to retire and take it easy. You're right about not hanging new sheet metal, it will look nice but never be the same car.

21. When in doubt, pull it out!

22. Love your hammer Derek

23. Kinda looks like a dirt track racer, pound back out after every week.

24. 💗❤🤍🤍💙💙🤘💪🦾

25. It’s like Christine!

26. It did look like Christine pulling itself back together.

27. When you could pull a car sideways from the tail light hole in the bumper. I’m looking right at it. Lol wouldn’t happen in modern model. Junk and I ain’t lying

28. I’m for a full restoration but I do understand wanting the original metal. The one thing about these years of Chevelle you can basically make a whole new car. It’s Independence no matter what you decide to do with it. A collaboration restoration may be the ticket. I know you care about this one so whatever is done will be the right thing. Keep saving them and keep up the great work.

29. It doesn't mean "fix" as in repair. It means fix as in chemically stopping a process. Like in wet photography fixer.

30. Team up with Carthage classic cars. Get it rebuilt

31. Let it rest you had fun with her

32. Man this one got me a little choked up. Love to see what you're doing bringing her back around Derek. This car has been my favorite since i first saw it and its amazing to see you not giving up on it.

33. Ni, I made a comment once before about the strips. There are 15 strips on your car when OUR flag has 13, Our flag stars with red and ends with red. Your car starts with white and ends with white. All you have to do is paint over to two white strips at the bottom of both side of the car with black paint, Please.

34. get a dynacorn body fix it right

35. The ultimate Chevrolet Independence 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

36. Is there any difference between a spark you later and a spark a Fire? My car has spark of fires😅

37. I would retire independence. It would cost too much to fix it up right you could find another body cheaper than fixing the one you have. But like you said it won't be the same anymore. I would take your blue Chevelle race car and use that one at the track.

38. That rad shroud went to Hemi Chevy.

39. i was really hoping for license plate patches

40. its had and good life…save what you can and pitch it

41. i love that you are saving a car you saved because of what it represents your a true AMERICAN with the love of country i wish more folks had my favorite car is the 69 chevelle but this independance car is way cool i love the way you treat the car that others would have long ago taken to crusher keep up the work love your videos and your family love watching you work

42. Fix it

43. Hey Derrick, the spray you use to " stabilize " rust is phosphoric acid. It turns iron oxide to iron phosphate. You shouldn't use a spray form without using respiratory protection. Buy Ospho in liquid form, where protective gloves and wipe or brush it on, after knocking off all loose rust first. Ospho only works on tight rust.

44. Clean, fix the brakes and fuel systems and sell.

45. I have skipped work and watched the entire youtubulator series and I can say it was AWESOME!!

46. Independence is a monument to American strength and resilience. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
