Take it down to the frame and make yourself a Yorel a flip on cletus's Leroy !! or maybe a ybur a flip on ruby lol
*I'll pay $30 + S&H*
if you and Jessica will sign each headlight. I'm looking to buy a hoodie for my son when they're back in stock. Thanks
I sent you a message through Instagram about some vet parts
Gutted I'm in the UK great video, so glad you are going to get use out of that engine and drive train
This is when a 2 post comes in handy
ATTENTION: There is only ONE Vice Grip Garage user, and it's this one. I will not contact you on Telegram, facebook, instagram or email - nor request any information from you. Anyone attempting to do so is a scammer.
WHAT !?!?!? I DIDN'T WIN A FREE TRIP TO YOUR SHOP AND PICK A CAR OF MY CHOICE BY CASH APPING YOU $5000.?????
WELL I'LL BE DIPPED
You won't email me? Dang.
Yep. Tried to get me. I smelled a rat. Thanks for your awesome content Derek. Love the show man. Countless hours of top entertainment.
maybe this is the scammer pretending again
It’s a shame that you even have to tell people that lol. People have been on the internet too long to know by now
I'm a GM Tech at a Chevy dealership and I just want to tell you how satisfying it is to watch your disassembly of this car. I have dreamed of doing it this way for a while, lol.
There may be a customer complaint.
Weezard just did this on his caddy. Not quite the same methods but end result was same. Sorta.
@@scottraines4254 I seen that also. :)
I figured one of you GM techs would love this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks like if you were to drop it in a gorilla enclosure but before you did you hid bananas deep inside the engine bay.
I owned my 2002 C5 for 21 yrs & 1 month & felt like doing what you did after dealing with typical C5 DIC’s, part replacements, just aggravating chasing down normal everyday problems. Said enough was enough & got tired of not trusting it after throwing $$$ at it. Walked into my local used car dealer & they bought it. I was sad but also relieved that I’d cut my losses. And thx for making me lol as you usually do. It makes all of my bad days better.
Derek's an ANIMAL.!
The way he started ripping it apart with his bare hands.! 😂 😂 😂 😂
It doesn’t matter how bad of a day you are having, within 5 mins of watching your channel the day is instantly better. You always put a smile on my face and make me laugh and if I learn something in the process it’s that much better. Keep on keeping on 👍🏼
I love this channel I use to do similar to this plenty of times my first corvette was a 1984 and it was a restored one the owner rebuilt the engine to a 383 factory block and I bought it in Pennsylvania got on a bus and got there in the Poconos at Walmart pick up and drove home to down south and only had one hiccup but minor I did the vice grip hustle and was good love ya man
Exactly 🤘🏻
Yup my xj motor started clackalackin bad this morning. I'm still laughing at him lol. I'll be sad again don't you worry
Completely agree
Yup, he had me at more pipes than willie nelson, i just couldnt stay mad
I have never seen a Corvette fender removed with such precision as this 😂. Exactly what I needed after a long day. Thank You Derek!
You are so right... you don't know unless you try
Thanks for the information
Man you've been pumping out the content lately...I was worried when I saw you sign up with Motortrend, since theyre owned by discovery and tend to ruin everything. Glad to see thats not the case here, keep up the great work!
More to come!
Seconded

@@ViceGripGarage Fourth
I was thinking that since you did sign on with Motortrend that a 20 minute phone call with Lucky Costa would have given Derek valuable advice on separating the body and frame since Lucky did just that last year.
I own 2 corvette’s and seeing you rip that car apart has made me so happy! It absolutely made my day! I am not a fan of having to work on corvettes anymore! Great episode.
I have owned 21 corvettes over the past 47 years. I have actually left them alone mechanically primarily because of their complexity. I generally buy a new one every 2-3 years. I can't remember if I have kept one long enough to go out of warranty. The cars I do play auto mechanic on are my five classic cars. Way easier to work on. Regarding pulling an engine out from the bottom, that is the reverse of how they are assembled at the factory in Kentucky.
I got to pull a 88 Corvette a part with a Fork Lift and a Sawsall a few years ago.. Buddy of mine bought it from an auction house, same deal as Derek, it had been in a crash.
Put this video on replay in the garage as reminders.
As the owner of a 2003 Corvette Z06 that I’ve owned since it was a year old this video hurt me. It hurt badly. I curled up in the fetal position and cried myself to sleep after watching this. I’ll be okay. I’ll be okay. It’s just gonna take some time. Lol. Also hurt to know that I’m still on my original clutch and that’s gonna have to be done sometime in the hopefully distant future. Love your videos.
You can really tell when Derek's dialed in on the filming!! You know he's been working for hours!
Love the episode!
I was having a horrible day and then this video came up. Thank you Derek for giving me the smile I so desperately needed today. My wife has breast cancer 🎀 and she is having some bad days so this was needed in a bad way
Wishing you and your wife the best buddy!
Prayers to You both Friend!
Prayers
Take good care of her, and I wish you both the best
WE NEED PROOF... WHAT FOLKS WILL DO FOR 👍
Watching you professionally dismantle this car was the hardest I’ve laughed in awhile. You’re so subtly funny and a guy just loves it
Was gonna say. About the same. Made me laugh so hard. And then remembered a lot of future old car wont really exist. Because of plastic parts and general designed obsolescence.
this is the greatest vice grip garage ever... breaking shit is your natural skillset.
Monte Carlos are one of my favorite 70 to 80s hot rod cars
I had 1974 black on black with 350 spoke rims, got totaled and broke my heart!
Well, your heart was wide open here! As if I didn't love your show enough... Truth be told, the excellent guitar music throughout your videos gets me as much as the eye candy! I mean that deeply, for no other content that I've explored has the quality of tones, variety of styles, and joy of guitar, that I have heard in your work... really kept me coming back! And dang if I'm not feeling the sprinkling of magic flying wrench dust all over when I can see that you're really enjoying yourself, too. Really got me through the winter! Thank you so much!
You always see Derek be more delicate with the older machines. But when it comes to a more modern Corvette, first thing he says is "wonder if we should disconnect the battery" then proceeds to rip the entire front fender off in one go. Love it.
mostly cuz its destroyed lol
He's usually trying to save the whole car, not just the engine. That hood and fender bit had me in tears, and now I think I want to see a Whistlin Diesel collab 🤣
I know you probably won't see this, but you are the reason I got my C10 back. I got a 6.0L LQ9 to swap in it from a junkyard because of inspiration from you. Thank you, Derek. If you do by some miracle see this, I just started that 6.0L and posted a video on my channel. Not necessary but my whole point is if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have re-sparked my passion. You're the man!
I've done the exact same thing bro. It happens. She sounds good brother. Stay after it.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to do my 1983 Hurst Olds Restoration. You show that things are not all that hard with a little bit of research and grit!
When you tore the fender off with your bare hands, my blood pressure went down to normal. Such a relaxing sound, music to my ears, such passive aggressive release of adrenaline. Good job, keep up the great videos!
I know! You could tell he didn’t give a rip at all about salvaging anything off the car, and he was enjoying it.
It WAS impressive watching him shred pieces off with his bare hands!
I was already laughing at the hood falling to the floor and I completely lost it when the fender went 🤣
I seriously enjoyed watching that disposable computer car get destroyed.
Watching that front end fly apart with just hands and brute strength really brought this episode to a top 3 for sure. One of these days I’ll have a little budget build, but for now I’ll just watch you and gain all the education 😂
Can’t wait to see this build continue! Great job again!
I have two living friends who were Corvette owners late 60's. Turn them upside down to change plugs. Sent them this link and told them this could be you:)
I don't usually comment and I never turn on my notification bell on RUclips, until now. This is the only channel I do that for. I just recently discovered this channel about a month ago and I have been burning the videos up. Beyond Awesome content and entertainment, thank you so much.
Derek is one hell of a good guy
@joseph cordell From everything I've seen, I agree 100%
I'm envious of the fact you get to experience it all for the first time!
I'm a 58yo automatic transmission rebuilder of 45years , do the math , 🤔 and I don't think I've subscribe to more than four other people and Vice grip is my favorite ,B B 👍
A guy can burn a lot of hours on the funny videos Derek has made over the years. Enjoy.
Watching Dereck do this completely backwards was the highlight of my day! Thanks for keeping a fella entertained
Idk you been missing out
The fellettes enjoy him too!
I love the finesse gently removing the parts, one-of-a-kind I love it Derek
"Now we are cooking over a tire fire". That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time! I love your humor as much as your inspiration. I'm looking for a budget build right now and I would have never considered it before I started watching your videos. You prove time and again that you don't need deep pockets to have a decent ride. Thanks
I found this so incredibly satisfying. The sound of crunching, cracking plastic, whippin out the ol sawzall and bare handed disassembly was pure therapy.
I love that "Git er done!" attitude.
I will admit I discovered this channel due to his motortrend show. I find these hour long videos highly entertaining. How did I not know about this sooner?
Do yourself a favor bub, go back and watch from the beginning of when VGG Derek Bieri and family started. You won't be disappointed. Have a cold snack or wobble pop and enjoy.
@@FinalFinishDetail 🙌🙌🙌🤣😂🤣😂
And it might also be a good idea for a fella to press the buttons and ring the bells and all that stuff so a guy don't miss on the future adventures and shenanigans lmao Welcome to the party friend
@notyouravaragesavage9172 that's what did when a friend of mine was mentioning VGG to me for the first time, he said, "Dude! , you've never seen VGG!?" Me: nope but I like vice grips 😆. Looked up VGG, been addicted since. Cheers 🍻 fellow VGG family member.
Better late than never my friend.
Yes you can. I had one pulled and in the back of my truck in about 45 min. Back in 2001 and headed out of Bowling Green, KY home with mind blown by how fast it can be done! Wowzer!
These are my favorite ones. When Derek gets a little cranky.
Hehe...that was a fun video. Derek and Jessica are a great team (we know how much Jessica does and contributes to this channel off camera and we appreciate her too).
I love the fender removal and then actually laughed out loud at the light removal
The guy is a professional when it comes to deorganizing a Corvette alright. I LOL'd throughout the whole thing. Thanks from Hudson, Wi. Miss ya around here...-6 degrees, 12 to 63.5 inches of solid, white rain....Yup, just GREAT!!
I can hear all the Corvette purest screaming at the video and I love it lol
OK I’m a 50-year-old Feller from Canada….., I shouldn’t be this excited but a new VVG video on Tuesday! Sweet!
Thanks Derek you folks are awesome !
50 is the new 30 😉
@@ALPHAFTUCK Tell that to my knees and lower back, LOL.
52 & in Australia, just as excited mate, Rj in Oz
55 love every minute
You make me smile when I'm depressed Derrick. Thankyou. I'm so glad I found your channel on RUclips
Based on how easy stuff broke off the front of the car, it was definitely already broken. You’ve inspired me to start pulling the Cummins out of my truck this weekend as long as my wife doesn’t have anything else for me to do
It's a pleasure to watch you work. All those special tools. A GM dealer should hire you.
As a purist vintage Corvette owner that spent 8 years restoring my car, and as much as I love this channel, this video was painful to watch. Derek has toolboxes everywhere full of tools. Too bad he can't open them and unbolt the good parts and unclip wiring harnesses, instead of destroying virtually everything.
Derek, front and rear brakes would be a great upgrade for any of your GM cars. You can get swap brackets from a place like Kore3. Just have to run 17” or larger wheels.
I went to my local Orielley's today in Nashville NC. My friend who works there, Brandon Wells, was so happy to tell me he was sent to Dallas and was able to meet you. I was happy to pass by two other places to get to ORieleys because of Puddins video of the event. This does matter to people like me. Thanks ORieleys.
Derek is going at it with his body panel remover 9000.... 🤣
Cut so funny watching him just pull the whole fender and inner fender off 😂
A guy had to look at the calender to make sure what day it is. A VGG video on a Tuesday? Well, I have to believe it, I'm watching it!!
He treated this car with so much respect and care. What a legend.
If he had any respect or care for that car he wouldn't be dragging the engine and trans across the floor like that
Same I treat every chevy
@@larryhullinger4141 How many drive trains have you pulled Larry? I would have thrown a grenade at that car by that point. Besides, those parts are the reason he bought that rig in the first place. If the crash didn't destroy the motor and trans......yanaamsaayin????
@@YourName-us6wu Exactly!!!
Treating it like it's a Ford or something dang
Another brilliant Showcase!
Love the idea of putting the LS in the Monte Carlo - Can't wait to see that one !
Thanks for the vid, the last 30 seconds has now got me off the couch and in garage.
Excellent!!
Enjoyed the meticulous disassembly of the Corvette front clip.
Derek, when you first started rippin' off the fenders I thought I was watchin' an Andrew Camarata episode but the method started showin' through the madness and we were back in the ole Vice Grip Garage. All's well that ends well! Another great video!! Thanks + keep 'em comin'! Been on board for several years you never disappoint!
I kept hearing a swansong dirge as you were disecting that poor old chevy! Love the work / play you do on the channel, keep on keeping on!
I work at a salvage yard in Canada and this is what I do every day. Always an adventure pulling a car apart for the first time. After the first go round, a guy knows how to pull everything apart and it becomes much easier.
After a long day at the garage working for the man. I can always relax to a vice grip garage video.
You owned that disassembly Derek. Too notch stuff brother.
Dude, I haven't laughed so hard in quite a while when you started tearing the fender off by hand, I was rolling on the floor!!! I am a subscriber for life!!!
I've made the mistake of watching your show post 8 pm far too many nights. Your background music on them long drives home just lull me 😴 💤. Great content man. Keep up the awesome work
The camera falling off was the best angle. Love how you are teaching your boys. Keep them revival coming
Thanks for dropping a Tuesday video, much appreciated!!
You probably put a big smile on a number of Corvette technicians faces with with this one! Hey, you did yourself and the Monte a big favor! Can’t wait to see that swap! Thanks for the video 👍!
Old school cars YOU ARE THE GO TO KING 👑 Can Get Any Older Vehicle Running With Just A Couple Of Parts Thrown @ It,Well Done & Thanks For All The Knowledgeable Info You Give Us All! Keep Those Hands Dirty🔧& Keep On Wrenching Y’all
Brilliant.
Derek, I think you missed your vocation, you should have been a rock star with them there vocals. This is high octane entertainment of the highest calibre! Using a 4 post lift as a hoist to suspend the body was inspired. Derek, the King of ingenuity!
My wife hates when I watch vice grip garage. So I’m gonna do the right thing and watch another episode of Vice Grip Garage.
She's just jealous.🤢
My wife loves to watch with me.
Love the channel bud ...my Uncle Gary rebuilt a montycarlo it was the first year of the round headlights he loved that car ..he passed away a few years back from cancer.. he was my hero and watching your videos reminds me of him and brings back all the great memories I had with him ..he would have loved your videos as much as I do ...thanks a bunch for all the great content
I really enjoy Vice C Grip Cartoons. I have not laughed so much as I do everytime I watch his programs. Nice Truck,
I read and like many of the comments and end up laughing again when they point at something from the video that made them laugh also. I WAS AMAZED AT BACKING IN WITH NO HELP AND NO HELP FROM THE MIRRORS-YOUR INSPIRING !!! Hat’s off to you and yours for great entertainment and content.
A new Vice Grip mid-day and mid week?? I just can't believe it, but I guess I got to cause I'm watching it right now.
Hey Derek, thanks for the midweek video. Hope y'all are doing well
Another job done by the book! Don't forget the silver cold snack. Great video.
Thanks for the flashback. Playing "Cruisin USA" at the bowling alley flashback from my youth. I wonder if they still have it.....
There is nothing better then coming home to a VGG vida after plowing for 23 hours… 👍
Derek you are correct that if you don't try you have already failed. My Dad taught that you can do just about anything if you take you time and don't be afraid to have a few set backs. I can't wait to the swap of this engine into the Monte!
Thanks for your time and knowledge, I used to watch a dozen shows on Motortrend but I've switched to just VGG ever since I found it. 1hr shows that I actually wish were longer! God bless and take care
Love the technique of whittling the engine out. Clearly the most fun a feller could have.
The way you removed that fender really shows the quality of newer vehicles!
that 'newer' corvette is 25 years old.
@@howie2092 yeah I know lol
@@howie2092 “newer” compared to lots on this channel that is.
Ehh, not really, a Corvette is a bad example because they are fiberglass and most parts are glued together and that's the first thing that gives after a crash.
fiberglass vehicles like vettes are way different than 99% of cars. I thought everyone knew by now, but sure.
Love the plans for where this engine is going. That project deserves it with how good it looks, just wouldn't be right with an old tired engine in it.
Fella never imagined his brand new pride and joy Vet would end up like that.
So glad you brought this car back up! I was wondering what happens to it.
Love this guy, his family and what he does so much I'm going to signup for upside using his code. I joined when he had less than 30k subscribers - one of the smartest things I ever did was subscribe. Keep going with these videos Derek - my wife and I watch this and we laugh constantly.
After having to deal with a dead furnace and water heater that doesn't work on top of a rent increase notice this week, I really needed this video. Thanks for the catharsis.
Ya....we got the rent increase notice thing too...and not a small one! ...."well housing costs are going up you know!"......ya..for those paying all the bills!....while the rich keep getting richer!
“Well for Pete’s sake we can’t even work on nothing.” 😂😂😂
I fully expected that battery to hit you in the grill. Glad it didn't!
How many of a guy are there? Is it really possible for you to be on VGG and everyone elses content and still be the same person? Derek, I love all your content, be it here on VGG, Motor Trend, and other channels. Your scheule must be insane. Take time for yourself. I am sure that 98.7536 (repeating)% of viewers will still be here when you need a rest.
Well well well, if it isn't the most pleasant surprise of my day. Thank you, sir. 🙏
I recently switched from a tech job to a junkyard and this is exactly how we dismantle the cars love the video keep up the good work
WOW ....I own three Vette's 92,96 and a 77. Sometimes I would love to do this to my C4s for sure. GOOD JOB.
You, sir, in addition to your many mechanical talents, are a splendid narrator.
Revivals, racing, fixing stuff, breaking stuff. Doesn’t matter not one bit, great channel as always 😎🤘
Brings back memories of working at a wreckers. Unless the car was going to be put in the yard, the preferred engine removal method was drop it out from the bottom.
Love this video of the best way to deal with a corvette😂😂😂. Your comedy keeps me goin on a bad at work. Keep it up bud
Nice little surprise getting some VGG content on a Tuesday!
+ 1 As a former C5 Corvette owner I thouroghly enjoyed the subtle, yet effective techniques employed while removing the engine.
Man it's soo good to see that thing back on the channel! Can't wait to see how it turns out, could use a refresher on body work myself😅
Being a fellerette I find always your easy to listen to. And you always get the job done. Great work!!
Getting the job done... No excuses, finds away to finish. To bad America's women can't figure that out either.
@@Glen_Mark can't figure out what your point is here. Hmmmm. Guess I can't figure out your way.
Needed this today. Thanks for the entertainment, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it
“Ya know, this Corvette looks pretty good rollin’ on 3’s” lol
Glad to see pops driving the 55 again God bless you all
You just did what most of us gear heads want to do from time to time! Just go nuts on a job but can't. That was awesome.
It's rare, but it sure is fun!
you can! but it's costs painfully large amounts of money (trust me trust me), fortunately, I have only went berserk on my own trash over the years, which has also taught me to not do that, becauseit still "costs a pile". 🙄
@@throttlebottle5906 I was thinking the same while I listened to him encourage folks to just do it. I could see me starting into some big project that I didn't know how it would turn out and spending a STUPID amount of money before it was over and even then end up with pretty much junk. ha.
@@ChristopherBix sounds like life! it's a big project that you cannot understand fully.
some of us have no qualms doing huge projects, BUT, have no laborers worth a hill of beans. so avoid big projects 101, solo is how it is with tremendous weight on shoulders...
Had a pretty rough day, saw this pop up and it already made my day 200% better.
You mean 200.3576% better 🤣🤣🤣
After the dismantling ,what was left that you were dragging across the floor reminded of the first Terminator chasing Sarah Connors thru the factory.lol.
I know it felt good to have a job go smoothly. And that's the perfect engine for that Monte. Can't wait to see it.
