  • I bought a stolen, recovered, salvage title, auction corvette. It's a 1998 Corvette Convertible. That's seems fine. Nope. Will it run? Probably not. If it does, we'll feed'r the onions!

      Jesus died and rose again to save you from hell, but you have to accept him as your savior first. These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) :)

      And after listening to Derek discuss long-blocking that 454 with a cam change, re-ringing, and the whole 9 (totally worth watching if you've not yet), there's no question he's a top-notch wrench turner too.

As I watched your videos over the last couple years I started wrenching on it. She runs now, and my gratitude for what you do is is big. Your show is good natured and informative - Thank you soooo much for doing what you do.

      Jesus died and rose again to save you from hell, but you have to accept him as your savior first. These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) :)
