Congrats to the new owner. I was not sold on this car at first (more not being a mopar guy), but watching Derek work on it and his vision on it...I am impressed and a bit jealous. It really turn out out to be a nice ride. Wow 😍 Great Job Derek!
I appreciate that!
Oh yea!!!
Put a up dated QA1 front suspension kit on it and get rid of all the out dated Mopar junk💪🏼💪🏼
Lol, a grown man using the heart eye emoji. I'll be dipped.
Oh Dusters are so cool. Being from Sweden I often saw them in used car ads in the 90:s and when I went to Mexico city they were pretty common, standing here and there in the streets. Today it is on my list of most wanted american compact cars besides getting a 64 Skylark again.
Congrats Charles. You win two prizes, you get to meet the man and bring home one heck of a build. Awesome way to start the new year.
i have a 1995 camaro z28 just put 4,000 dollars on it have all reciepts parts are less than a year installed new battery transmission rebuilt 1 year ago new radiator its been converted to 6.2 drove for about 6 months then fuel pump went out only part not new had accident now i am on my 4th month in a wheel c hair ruined everything i don't want to sale here i don't want to see someone else driving it clear title lt1 v8 if intrested 2000 i let it go can't do anything with it now i can't walk like i said i do have all paper work not car accident neck injury.
Congratulations on the guy right there in Tennessee that won it, no pun intended it’s just nice that he didn’t have to cross multiple states or had to ship it, easily one of the coolest builds you’ve done Derek 👍👍great video as always.
Congrats to the new owner!! I had a '74 318 and it was awesome!!
As a mopar Guy, I have to tell a Guy 2 things:
1. Yes, of course bring the Dart back!!
2. You went to do mopar front end work and said let me snip this off right quick... the duster said, "Hold my cold snack." Mopar doesn't like to make it easy.
Congratulations to Charles! Looks like you definitely have a going to town rig!
Shout out to Chad, (not that Chad, the other Chad) for showing up when you did!
I absolutely love this series, and congratulations to Charles on your new, old, Duster!
Thanks so much!
It's amazing how far you have come, Derek!! From way back going out in the woods and firing up old piles of junk, to having some great looking rides, a sweet garage, and doing give aways! It's all in your style and delivery that puts you head and shoulders above the rest! Keep it up brother!! We're loving it!!😊😊
For your small rust holes you should start doing fiberglass. Cheap easy and lasts forever
When using fiberglass on a vehicle, put the glass on wax paper. Helps spread and smooth out the ridges. Fiberglas will dry smooth and saves a lot of sanding
Awesome a mid week episode of Vice Grip Garage!
Happy new Derek and the VGG family. Wish you and the family a great 2024 and can’t wait for some epic road trip adventures with you this year 🎉
Happy new year!
Happy new year and season great way to start the year and the duster’s looking great it’s been fun watching you guys build it and I hope the new owner appreciates it as much as I do great car great show hope you all have a great year
@@ViceGripGarage What he said!
@ViceGripGarage Derek it would be interesting if you built a used oil shop heater our of a 100lb propane bottle or a old vertical compressor tank.
I’ll admit it. I commented and thought you should paint it. I was wrong. That thing is looking awesome. You come to Utah steaks 🥩 are on me
Nothing ever goes the way that it's supposed to and this is living proof of that. Good job Derek, you are the man
Awesome car! As a former NASCAR Late Model crewman, I got a kick out of seeing you adjust toe. We always did caster, camber, and toe each week... we did bump steer a few times per season. Brought back good memories. Congrats to the proud new owner, sounds like he'll really enjoy the car!
Very cool. I'd love to read more about your experiences doing so.
A middle of the week VGG VIDEO? I….Cant…Believe….It….but I guess I got to cause I’m looking right at it.
One coming Friday too!
@ViceGripGarage how's does a feller or fellet get so blessed with 2 videos in one week
Stupendous job Derek and Chad ! Another one saved from the crusher , and surely will be a real crowd pleaser for Charles !
Derek your videos never disappoint!!
Not a Mopar guy but this project turned out pretty good, congrats to Charles. Now being a GM guy, I am looking forward to seeing whats become of Snowbird. I hope you still have plans to bring her all the way back around
I had one of these cars when i was 16. My grandpa gave it to me before he passed. Unfortunately it got totaled after a deer decided to say hello to the front of it and I went into the ditch. Now after watching this I will have another one day and im going to try and build it. Thank you for the inspiration Derek
My first car was a 1974 Duster.
I actually like the grill and tailiights of the Dart better.
My Grandfather had the 73 Dart with the rare triple stripe over the roof!
Rebuild it! It does not have to be perfect. Skip the agony and just let it's history be a part of it (wtf/yolo).
LOL... who's surely?
Hope you get to do that Tyler for Grampa’s memorial type of deal.
@@danvetor1365 70-72 was the best looking Duster. Are you talking dart or Dodge sport cuz I'm thinking dart
Congrats to the new owner. Amazing series of vids, thanks for the adventure.
Our pleasure!
Congrats to Charles and looking forward to another great year of bringing the thunder!
Congratulations to the Winner!!!!! Awesome!!!!
As always, your antics are enjoyable and entertaining. Keep it up.
Way to go Charles! I got my driver's license in one of these back in '76, 800 years ago. I purposely did not enter, feeling a burnout kinda guy should win it. VGG is the only way to go!
A burnout guy like Tommy Chong? 😂
I saw that trunk color when you were done and ...was soooooooooo surprised how good it looked.....that was the first time I ever saw that done
Glad you liked it - easy and CHEAP!
Congratulations Charles! You have one unique, powerful, badass Duster! You are a VERY lucky man!! Great work and hats off to Derek and his friends to make this happen!
Derek & Chad; I think it's seriously cold snack time!!! For the rest of the evening!!!
Great series Derrick. I really enjoyed the Duster build. My son and I have restored a 93 bronco that he drives every day. We have complete several other projects and now keep our family Fleet running. We enjoy watching you tinker and repair, together.
Great job Derek! I can honestly say you are one heck of a human being. Your success has been deservedly rewarded. Congratulations to Charles for winning such a prize! Especially when Derek gives you the key himself.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thats a wild ride alright !! A great bit of a bonus content for the week thanks to Derek and Brad there lending a hand !! Happy new year to all Vice Grip garage family and to everyone following!!
Nice going guys. I hope Charles doesn't crash after all the work you did. Congrats to Charles and you too Derek for completing this one of a kind crazy project.
The amount of effort put in not trying to laugh like children at the end while boiling the tires was admirable 😁
Never thought I'd sit here with a cold snack and watch a guy cleanin' out a trunk... but here I am... killin' it.
Haha my thoughts exactly!!!
Charles, CONGRATULATIONS, on the win. Derek is awesome!
Thanks for sharing! 😊
Sounds amazing, looks like it pulls like a freight train and the whole car really came around. Something about the way a healthy small-block Mopar makes RPMs so fast. They are little rev-happy monsters. Congrats to Charles! And as always, Derek just does such good work.
A Cragar spare IS absolute class Derek!! Good on ya Son!
Been nice to put some sort of cover over the spare.
@@jamiemckechnie3662gotta leave something easy for Charles to do, plus maybe he wants people to
see the spare is a cragar at too!
Derek I had a deep well tire thingy similar rot. I applied some tape under the car then in the trunk and troweled black plastic fiber-rated roofing cement. Took awhile to harden but it worked great, lasted along time too.
Happy New Year to you and your family. Congratulations to Charles. Really like how the trunk turned out. Looking forward to seeing what new adventures are coming in 2024.
Derek, if you are spray painting in an enclosed garage , it's customary to have a couple shots of CC (Canadian Club Wiskey). The combined effect of the fumes and wiskey makes painting much more of a creative event.
Congratulations to the new owner and Happy New Year. I hope everyone seeing this has a awesome year.
Side note: even though you have a nice shop it looks like you could use a conex shipping container for storing extra parts, oil etc. They are pretty reasonably priced. If you get 2 you could build a roof between them for some outdoor storage as well. Good place to store the tractor or the lumbergini. Think about all the extra room you would have in the shop
Those two container buildings are pretty neat and add slot of covered or enclosed (your choice) two 20 ft containers should pretty much do or a pair of 40 footers for a massive building
Congratulations Charles and thank you Derek and family for doing what you do!
Reminds me of my late friend Glenn (R.I.P. brother) he had a Duster with the factory snakeskin top! It was a cool car indeed!
That's an awesome little ride right there! Congatulations Charles and thank you Derek and family for all that y'all do to keep us entertained!!!
That's bar none the sweetest trunk I ever did see. Every trunk should look like that.
Congratulations to Charles for winning the duster. I think you’ll be very happy with the car. I think Derek is really done his best to fix a good burnout car.
A Guy did right by that LS318 Duster. Good on Ya! Enjoy it Charles!
Well that can and a cup and a paintbrush maneuver was weird Chef's kiss, I guess!
Ole Chuck scored big time. That car is awesome.
Happy New Year to Derek & family and all Vice Grip viewers.
Be blessed.
Congrats to the new owner. Thank you to Derek and his family for the content!! Happy New Year's VGG family, and may your projects make progress.
Very impressive workmanship. Well done Derek and Chad.
Nice of you to share the love. Happy New Year.
CONGRATULATIONS Charles!
Congratulations to Charles R.
Would have loved to have won this Duster. Derek you did a nice job “Rebuilding” everthing.
The engine work Paragon did was fun to watch too.
Can’t wait to see future videos. Happy New Year to you and the family.
I can never get enough of seeing Derek in the o’Reilly ad. Always makes a guy smile and chuckle a bit 😂
Great job Derek, what a difference!!
Congratulations Charles!
A midweek VGG Special? It's truly an after Christmas gift! Thanks, Derek, Jessica, and the lil fellers.
Congratulations to the new owner and great job Derek your just as cool as Mr beast too giving a car away that you worked so hard on love your family and content thanks for all your hard work 🙏
Excellent show & car ! The Slant 6 also would had been nice to have. There is a company that sells the older MOPAR trunk matts.
Repos and sometimes on eBay you can find old stock.
Man Derek you got to get you some rail road ties to cut into 2 foot blocks to use for out in rusty acres keeps stuff up off the dirt if the tires go down and you can stack three pieces into a triangle and set a car on them if you need to jack it up and get under and they never rot so you can just leave em handy on a skid or in the bed of one of the trucks out there
Try spraying your boot/trunk interior with Pastidip (or similar). It's thick enough to bridge most of your pinholes and put a 'rubber skin' of the whole thing.
Not to be picky, but it is Plastidip (with the "l"). Not a bad idea. I've used that stuff on hammer handles and on pliers. It forms a really solid surface and seems to hold up very well.
There are no boots here only trunks.
POR-15 is better, moisture cant get under it. Truck bedliner on top of that adds texture and hides holes.
Congratulations Charles R. On your awesome Duster win.
No Doubt! By the time my check hit the bank they were out of all the "mature gentleman" sizes. Just the kids & ladies were left and I no longer need any of those. So a guy in the next state over wins! So I said to myself, "Maybe Next Time!"
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Sure is a blessing to have a sturdy friend like Chad not the other Chad when you need one.
I know you're just as grateful for it as I would be.
Speaking for all the fellers like myself who don't; keep looking out for each other and doing cool stuff boys. Friendship makes everything better.
Cheers.
Glad you did all that work.
It desperately needed it.
n all honesty, you're the one to do all this retro safety refit work...
no one else is taking the time and the love to do this level of "repair" that the tech isn't going to jam-up the customer for the cost of that amazing work.
Thank yu on a number of levels, from a car guy, and many of us, in fact.
You take good care of these old beaters, and get them back up and running, and movin around,
you're amazing, and your work is op notch.
Thank you//
Love this car. And love the channel. Your channel gets me through the week. I’m always in a better mood after watching. Thanks for all the awesome content. This feller for one truly enjoys it
Glad you enjoy it!
I absolutely loved watching you all work on this car! I am a Duster guy, and I am happy for Charles. Maybe someday, if the Lord wills it, I will own another. Thanks for sharing!
Thanx Derek
This car is about perfect for 90 % of car guys.
The mix of looks, power and condition ensures that it can be driven
daily with enjoyment and not a phobia for dents and dings from parking it anywhere.
I wish you a prosperous new year and i am looking forward for your excellent content.
That duster is so dang sweet 😎👌💪
Nice, I had the 1970's with slant 6, ran great. Even had aftermarket AC under dash. Let my friends wife drive it to the store one day and she came back saying it was the easiest car to drive. Had great steering.
my father [O"H] also bought a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger, 2 door, 225 c.i. slant I-6, p/s, p/b, a/c over size radiator which certainly had electronic ignition, front disc brakes [very surprised to see front drum brakes on this Duster]. that car was reliable, dependable, easy to drive, steer, park including parallel parking; one of their best vehicle purchases; drove it for my diver's test in 1975. A family friend then bought a Plymouth Valiant in 1975 based upon the quality, reliability, dependability, etc; they decided upon the 318 V-8, 4 door.
My preference for body styling is the Duster or Sport as this vehicle.
These compact Dart, Valiant, introduced for 1960 model, though 1976 were among their best vehicles. Many people have since converted them into various performance, racing vehicles, especially in the later years as with other vehicles from those years; even if they were not performance versions then.
Certainly the steering can be improved with Rack & Pinion as with all vehicles, over worm gear steering, along with updated, improved suspension.
Sincerely
My daughter says you remind her of me as I work on things, especially cars. I come up with new nonsense words. She said some clean and some not so much, but all hilarious! Some of the best gifts I received for the holidays was the sparkilator and multiple flannels from Vice Grip Garage! Keep up the great work Derek! You and your family are fun to watch. Very entertaining and informative! God Bless! I’ll be dipped!👍😁
Congrats Charles! Derek you're a natural Picasso! You should do an whole entire exterior of a car with your splatter! I LOVE this channel!
Awesome project man, love your content. Hope you and the family had a fantastic Christmas and New Year 🎉
Look forward to living another year vicariously through you!
And a big Happy New Year to the VGG family. I love the Xmas card that came with the shirt I ordered. The wife put it on the frig like part of the family. ❤
Awesome Job !!! DEREK 48:44
POLL
Hey Derek, the tape you used to cover the holes in the trunk works great if you heat it up a little bit with a propane torch. I've used my fair share of similar tape to fix small holes to get me past Nova Scotias relatively strict motor vehicle inspections more than once.
It certainly does a burnout! Awesome job and Charles is going to have some fun! Congratulations all around.
Happy New Year to the VGG family! The Duster turned out great. I never would have thought a 318 could sound so good! That engine rocks. Charles is one lucky guy.
I agree 💯 on this. That car sounds nice 😂😂😊
Only Derek could make vacuuming a trunk entertaining. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while!
As always! Another great show!!! Love this channel and family and friends.
We love your show!! Keep it up!!
Thank you! Will do!
You may disagree, Derek, but Mopars rule!
I like mopars.
But loves sqaure bodys better @@ViceGripGarage
How cool is that someone in your own backyard won it... That's awesome......
What an awesome car you made! Congratulations to the new owner!
Dude. A VGG video on the same day i bring home my new born son! Love it derek, would have been so badass to win this! 👊🚀 Happy new year buddy👊
Congratulations
@@ViceGripGarage Thank you derek 👊
Congratulations man!!
Hi Derek
Happy new year to you and the Family.
Absolutely love how this Duster turned out. What a cool little car.
Question: Have you tried Fibreglassing broken floors?
Did my brother's car like that once.
His old Honda Accord had the old Soggy Foot Syndrome.
Rust treated as you did, then glassed it. Very solid and if you want it to set quicker faster or slower you can just tweak the hardener ratio. 👍
Greetings from the British Isles 😁👍
Yet another amazing episode. Congrats to the new owner. The Bob Ross reference was great!
I gotta say, for starters, the MagnaFlows and downward tips was the right choice! When you get on it, that 318 sounds angrier than my ex-wife... and I ain't kiddin' ya! My very first ride was that 76 Power Wagon step-side with the bored 318 and blown out glass packs. That was a tough sound to bear when trying to not be seen or heard... if ya know what I mean. But 16 years old, with a heavy foot, in the 80s and that noise, holy hand-grenades it turned heads!! I'm sure the Duster will sound even better when those mufflers break in.
The Chads really stepped up in the rebuild, WAY TO GO GUYS! I'm still straining my brain muscle over the front end. I've owned Mopar a few times in my life, and they absolutely do have quirks. If the electricals are good, then it's odd stuff like those front wheels. But the paint in the trunk was a nice touch, and I gotta mention it... but Crager's SS donut holders sure round it out after the turnout of paint, and graphics, and floor boards, and grill, and interior, and gauges, and drive tube, and VGG engine bits covers... it's not even the same car, is it?
Charles is gonna love it!
Thanks for another great episode, everybody!
That nod of approval after the burnout says it all.
Gotta bake 'em. 😋 😊😊😂😂😂😂😂
🚫 Burnouts 🚫
Bob Ross, happy little rust
Congratulations Charles! I hope that there will be a delivery video! Fantastic build. Sounds mean!!! Great job Derek!
Had to come take one last look at her. Happy for the new owner for sure. I had a great time watching Derek fix it up. On to the next one! Always excited to see what's next.
So disappointed I didn't get the call, but I won't hold it against a feller! 😂 Congratulations to Charles.
The car is looking real good, but I think I liked the blacked out wheels better.
My gooodness, the sound of that engine at the end...gives me chills.
Congrats to the new owner.
Awesome video Derek. Much respect for what you do. 🔧🔧🔧
My first car was a 1973 yellow Plymouth duster that I learned to drive in, enjoyed this video a lot
I've seen some good running 318s back in the day, but I don't think I've ever heard one like that! Color me impressed!
WoW! That thing really fries the tires! New owner should be able to have some great fun in that! Wound up being a really cool build with a classic Mopar look. Happy New Year to the whole VGG family! Looking forward to another year of wrenching and shenanigans.
Good luck Charles, you're gonna need it
I love what you've done with this car! But what I did with one of my old vehicles. For the trunk paint. I use that gray roll on garage floor paint that you lay speckles down on it afterwards. It looked good and it was fairly thick
Congratulations Charles.
Another great video!! Thank you for letting us all hang out with you again on the ole interwebs ..
Congrats Charles. Great build Derek.
