  • Here we go with our budget build GMC. This truck was FREE with our new property! It has a pretty torn up bedside however we found a $200 color matched bed on Marketplace. Lets figure out what it takes to combine the two and cut it down to a short bed! Budget shop truck build here we come!

    I am a new viewer, came here after he did that ViceGrip Garage between the aisles interview with Derek. Pretty neat channel, at first i was just thinking this guy acts a little silly as he tinkers with old cool cars. After actually watching him, this guy does pretty solid work! I know you long time viewers already know that but as a new viewer, he is doing some serious fab work that ends up awesome and seems to be having fun doing it his own way!!
