As the photographer who took all the high quality photos of this exact car when he showed up in Montana, I’m blown away that he never owned it. I have so many photos of this thing and was so “honored” to get a chance to shoot my first GTR. INSANE!!!
Thanks so much for the digging you have done. He got me here in Sioux City for 2 grand. Sat in my living room in front of my wife and daughter looked me in the eye and took my money and never heard from him again. Police didn’t do shit.. you absolutely have got to make a short docu-series about this guy on Netflix. The pos Anna delvey of the Midwest!!!
I made those decals for Derek. As many others I had no idea what a piece of shit he was. Just showed up one day in montana with a gtr and nobody knew him.
@@OutsiderGarageDBW I can't wait. Small world story: The guy who had GS Motorsports build that red car nearly bought my pristine R32 GT-R back in 2018. Instead, he had that red car built. I shudder to think how this story would have turned out if he bought my R32 instead. I'd die inside if I saw it in the condition that red car sits today.
Small world my gtr is at Germans shop now lol for a Restoration that guy german gets no credit he did multiple nopi builds, and super street builds u guys think Tommy f yeah is cool lol na german is the RB KING OF THE STREETS IN TEXAS!
From what I know he's in vermillion south dakota and building a Nissan 300 and making titoks of it acting like he knows what he's doing,I bet its a stolen car thats not even his
Gotta idea go meet german an film him he has very cool rb26 skills and also 2jz skills but more or less the man knows his jdm cars engines and collector items he RESTORES CARS PUT MORE LIGHT ON HIM HE won't mind just ask to do a background on him I bet no one has b4 except nopi guys an the super street guys and he has made the iron man supra and the Sony Playstation Supra did alotta show quality and get up and go work good magazine builds too haven't seen Anyone on RUclips that's in the USA that restores jdm cars as long as I have seen him do it js
Do you weld? You seem knowledgeable about the processes This guy's really did a lot of damage, this sucks man. Fortunately some people got their stuff back. This derrick was fraud, a clout chaser, seems like he wanted the attention... Sad what people do for attention. Thanks for posting these videos, this whole thing is wild.
I do weld but I am purely a hobbyist and need a lot of practice before I would ever charge anyone for my work, let alone destroy a few hundred dollars of Titanium like he did. I've spent a lot of time around professionals and do know quite a bit of theory, but like I said, just a hobbyist.

Thanks Bobby!

Please get video of those stickers being removed.... I'm so glad to see it's safe now
I wonder what German at GS Motorsports thinks about what happened to this car.
This is so sad bro - but we are going to get it back to it's former glory.

I've heard/seen this too. Thanks for the update man
Confirmed
I hear now he's opening a shop
@@OutsiderGarageDBW where??
@@mrwho2118 I don't have much detail yet
Any updates?
I am still getting restitution checks in the mail - that's about it - I don't feel Derek deserves to steal any more of my time.
Ha I put that neck brace required sticker on the car a few years ago
Did you know Derek?
@@OutsiderGarageDBW yes we put a new trans in the red R32 at my shop a few years ago in MT. Lots of people in town know him as well.
Did he pay for the trans that was put in?
I do have a pic of "his" red gtr next to my rb240. Gtr engine bay Vin plate is there. Can send you pic if needed.
It was a beautiful car! So sad
