We the People would love to see you and vice grip garage do a nice big build together, you and Derrick are my number 1 RUclips channels I watch. Your down-to-earth guys who has stayed the same over the years of making content for everyone to watch. we all know its not easy getting ever video out each week for us to watch. Thank you for being a great content creator. Keep up the awesome work.
I think the only real issue with the idea is both Derek and Rich have families with kids, so it's a big deal to be away from them for weeks to do a build
Really appreciate the comments James. We did a couple video's together, and will likely do more in the coming years. Going to finish what I have on the go right now first
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Yeah, the EFI into the Bronco set the bar high for a great teamwork playlist ... I was reminded of those mathematicians cracking the Enigma code, when you and Derek were working out the belt length! Great team content, look forward to more of it
That key smith had me laughing. I'm sure he don't see cars too much like that nowadays. Then again, he probably had a few cars like that himself coming up. Talk about a rare skill... Always an adventure
Always enjoy when Derek shows up in your videos and you in his. You, Vice grip garage and Fab Rats are my favorite channels. Would love to see a collaboration video with just you and Derek, maybe a revival of something cool in Canada for him drive home 1500 miles to rusty acres. I know you are both busy, but I think that would be epic! Keep up the great work and thanks for so much entertainment!
Power Tour season is my favorite set of vids. Proof the automotive brotherhood is stronger than ever despite everything going on in the world!!! Made my day seeing this!! Safe travels Rich and everyone else!!!
Absolutely loved this video!!!! Perfect content with hard working people and great cars. Trials and tribulations but the ideal outcome with a fantastic journey which is what dreams are made of for us common men
Hey that was a lot of fun watching. I'm from the south. The heat and mosquitoes are very real. Thanks for putting the hours in that GTO and making the road trip. 👍
Finding an engine in the ditch is pretty cool! I used to drive trucks and there was chatter on the UHF about debris on the highway I was looking out for. Turns out it was an LS1. I couldn't stop to pick it up though.
I can still remember the video of all of you guys building an engine in your hotel room for this car. It's come a long way since then and it looks great.
That's one heck of a locksmith there! Luv the 🐐!!! Such a nice color, that interior is beautiful!!!! My dad had a 67 lemans and I currently have a 69 gto with a 70 455 and th400, owned it 30 yrs now!!! Luv me some ponchos!!!
Such a beautiful car there Rich but more importantly so many awesome people who band together to make sure everyone stays on the road!! One day I will make this tour!!
Hi from uk rich👋👍 pleased car did well (apart from wiper motor) bit outstanding times for you all and seen the derek stop on his channel to help guys with the alternator problems was valiant effort at roadside but yeah towed in style drove out on a prayer 👌 nice to see everyone coming together to help out on these events you guys hit upon 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Good job getting through the week. I have always been mental about bringing two sets of keys for the vehicle I am road tripping in, and leaving all the other keys at home because I know I will loose them all
After seeing that weather statement and that automotive shop I know you were in my hometown of Memphis!! Love the channel and love the builds. I’m a big Pontiac fan myself and I’m currently restoring one that belonged to my late father it’s a 10th anniversary trans am. 400/4 speed He had lost it some years back, talked for years about finding it and wrenching on it together. Then a few short months right after he passes it just falls into my lap and I find it abandoned behind a mechanics shop. There’s a whole cool story with it but I’m not going to ramble. Currently fixing to do the floors and I just got a fully forged 467 stroker bottom end from butler performance and now currently working towards the top end. Keep up the hard work and you got a like and subscribe from a new fan and friend in Southwest Tennessee! Hope to see you fellers at one of the power tours when I get her up and going 👊🏻
Good puff of blue on the kick down when you were on the freeway about the 9:23 mark. Anyway Hey Aaron and Rich I can't believe I'm 7 hours behind on the vidja!!! Hey a great trip Boyz!!! I'm with ya in heart!!!! And give Aaron a spare would ya!!!! LOL
The problem is-- Your string is measuring the inside diameter (ID) of the belt/ down in the groove, but you are measuring the OD of the black belt itself- so it doesn't sound like much, but just that bit of thickness around all of the different radius's of each pulley will add up on you.
I laughed when You and Derek were measuring the belt, Metric versus Imperial Versus Metric. Aussies are still taught both in school and I was helping my 12 yr old with it which amazed her coz im apparently Oooooold. Love your work :-)
Wasn't so much taught to us in school but we were taught how to do the conversions. I'm good with the bigger imperial measurement but I struggle with the smaller fractions.
Set all belt adjust at mid point. Make a belt out of masking tape so it follows all the pulleys etc etc. cut the tape and there your proper belt length.
You did gut this car to begin with. Great rebuild it looks great. Love the color,and stitches . I am a sub but haven’t been to your Chanel in a bit Glad I did . I really like this car. I’m upstate New York, I know rust ,it always wins. Only a few virgin cars up here,not many never driven is salty conditions. Or no rust but smashed up. Curtis key codes. I used them at Hurtz Penske 40 years ago.
I hear you brother! I’ve ran about every piece of construction equipment there is but I’ve never got my hands on any tree cutting/logging equipment cause it’s just not big around here but I’ve ALWAYS dreamed of running one of those big harvesters that takes down trees, it would just be a fun interesting piece of equipment to run 👍
Ya know they had vast forests of gigantic trees in Minnesota. But they cut the all down If you find forestry interesting I highly recommend anyone to read the book “Barkskins” And I challenge anyone to read that book and NOT cut down a tree with an axe. The tree harvesting machines do injustice for the hundreds of years the tree took to grow. Did you know the redwood was not the tallest tree in North America? The Douglass fir used to be much larger but …yup…. U guessed it. We cut them all down. And we cut them all down before those machines even existed Cutting trees doesn’t need to Be easier. We have proven that handily.
Just install a pushbutton ignition. Welcome to Amerika. Wish Tru'Doe would welcome us back. Derick is bigger than that Monza. This is the beauty of the Gear head world... DeBoss has to do a Cummis Swap in one of Vice Grips Trucks. How do you contact Ford ERA to buy some of his classic Fordz
The first time I needed a locksmith to figure out what key I needed for a 66 C10, he walked over to a bench and picked up a large ring of 60s GM keys and said "Go figure out which one works". After a couple hundred keys, I found one. And since the door had a different lock than the ignition, I found out what key fit that also. For $20, I had two sets of keys and didn't need a locksmith to pull apart a lock. Simpler times.
A couple hundred keys…. Fuuu I lost my keys for 88 Camaro. They only made 3-4 Keys for those. Got some at a junk yard and they worked. My mom had 93 Ford escort And we once went back to car from store and unlocked and got into and started their car before we realized it wasn’t our car. My first car was 94 mercury-tracer. (Sister car to escort) And I locked my key in and had my mom drive over because her keys were interchangeable.
Ever thought about getting a Rally Fighter and going cross country only taking back roads and dirt roads 🤔 🤔🤔 how adventurous can a Rally Fighter be and imagine what you could do with it. Modify and improve it 😁😁😁
Just an FYI. If your halogen bulbs connector tabs are getting hot and breaking off it is a clear sign of a poor ground connection between body, frame and charging system. Be a good idea to go thru those and add extras if need be. Ground connections are the single most important part of your electrical system, if you don't have good ones things get hot and fires start.
I've lost a phone down an elevator shaft before. And when I lived in an apartment building I also dropped my keys down the same gap. That time I got them back with 2 metal coat hangers taped together after the manager let me into my unit.
This, for real. I adore that Kwhopper and would just LOVE to have one.. not that I have a use for, a place to store, or could even afford to put diesel in it.. What a treat that thing must be to drive!
First night of Power Tour 2019 thieves smashed the steering column of my G-body wagon but failed to steal it. Had to use a screwdriver to start the car for the rest of Power Tour.
Tough car! I like to make a battery disconnect hidden under the pass seat. Ya it’s awkward to reach. But you could pop my hood and jumper whatever you want the battery is essentially not hooked up.
There definitely needs to be a fall power tour. I would rather be cranking the heat than sitting in a pool of sweat haha This year was brutal, who would've thought summer in the south would be hot?? lol
That sucks!!! I’ve lost keys before or locked them in too many times so I always keep a spare key either wired up or hidden somewhere good on the car just in case. Even if it’s your car it just looks really bad having to break into it 🤣
I thought power tour was more like Drag week, I might actually be able to participate in one of these style events. Only problem is I'm not sure that a 100hp OM617 qualifies for *power* tour, but it sure is comfortable to cruise in. Sign me up for the RUclipsr fall cruise, I'm too slow to race, and too small to really call myself a youtuber, but I'll take any excuse to cruise around in one of my vehicles!

He is quite a bit further away but I think between the two of you a project could go fairly quick. Be pretty dang cool
Wooh that lock Smith was awesome! I like guys that show their passion.
What a dude, what a skill. That man is a master of his trade!
The locksmith really earned his money on the GTO job, good work! :)
That key smith had me laughing. I'm sure he don't see cars too much like that nowadays. Then again, he probably had a few cars like that himself coming up. Talk about a rare skill... Always an adventure

I looked on TMI's website wanted to check out the seats for my Pontiac but the only makes I saw was Mopar Ford and Chevy.
Looks like fun! Crazy story about that ditch engine!
I feel like a video with you and Derrick working on a project would be something worth watching, and probably hilarious lol
Got a riddle for you: How many mechanics does it take to install a serpentine belt?
@@jrucker2004 A: All. All of them. lol
There is one video with Derrick one of the bronco videos he stops at Derricks place
Watch the GTO Vlog of a group, including Vice Grip building a motor in a hotel room
When him and Derek are in front of the 57 from DD speed shop the only one missing is peg
Nice to see ya's out n about boys. You represent Canada well!
Thank you, that is much appreciated.

As goofy as that guy was on camera, I'd be surprised if he didn't already have one. Dude was a boss.

Gotta love that locksmith man! good vibes !
I'm really enjoying these videos. The crossovers are awesome. What a great group of people.
Power tour looks a blast. Great choice of seat colours.
That locksmith seemed to have some great skills - and a nice guy too. Good find
I'm glad to see your drinking the world's best beer, Budweiser!!! Also if you're not watching Ford era, you got to check out Solomon's work.... it's👌.
Love these videos on the GTO and touring! It would be sick if you end up touring to western Canada(Alberta)! Keep it up
RUclips power tour is a great idea!
Your vehicles always look so amazing! Love all the youtubers gathering together and have a wonderful time! Thank you for taking us along.
awsome upload, and team at the key cutting store. Nice guy
Cheers
Jim
Man that locksmith you guys found was an absolute treat!
I wish I could go. Im watching vicariously while I’m deployed to Kuwait where it’s 115 plus daily. I can’t wait to get home to normal weather.
Locksmiths are magical and theyr'e always the coolest guys
A pleasure as always. Thanks
Vary awesome indeed. Nice 👍 on getting your GTO Pontiac together. Sweet. Keep up the great work. Okay.
Well hopefully in a year or so I'll be able to come on power with you and drive my trans am I was showing you pictures of at the tank museum!!
18:28 Charature on a shirt idea right there.
The problem is-- Your string is measuring the inside diameter (ID) of the belt/ down in the groove, but you are measuring the OD of the black belt itself- so it doesn't sound like much, but just that bit of thickness around all of the different radius's of each pulley will add up on you.
what a beauty this gto is!
work of art for sure!
got a screenshot of VGG and deboss together measuring the belt. This should be a tee shirt.
That GTO is beautiful.
Beautiful job favorite year of g.t.o representing Ontario canada at power tour nice!!!
I laughed when You and Derek were measuring the belt, Metric versus Imperial Versus Metric.
Aussies are still taught both in school and I was helping my 12 yr old with it which amazed her coz im apparently Oooooold.

Set all belt adjust at mid point. Make a belt out of masking tape so it follows all the pulleys etc etc. cut the tape and there your proper belt length.
Good tip
Easier said than done
Best one so far awesome shit. Next time pay attention to the key dork ! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 all the is worthwhile though.
What a fun time!
Sure like what you have done with the GTO, that is one awesome vehicle.
It is a very nice relaxing cruiser. 3500 miles, no problem besides the rear main seal leaking. Will take care of that this winter
Shine that window up good with Rain-X and you won't even need wipers for the first few weeks! Great fix if you break somewhere.
Rich...that era GM car uses a key for ignition only...typically a square head...and the rounder head key operates..doors, trunk and glovebox.
Yes, but they are the same cut
Love this channel. Always great content!
I love the dent side, I have a 79 but I blew the rear to pieces in 2006. It's still waiting for me to fix it one of these days.
Gotta love the timmies cup firmly in hand talking about a project lol
Well ill be pimped. Looks like you had a great time.
If the wipers die on road, RainX the windshield will get you by temporarily.
Loved the episode. Keep on truckin’
Awesome video Rich.

Always amazes me the amount of aftermarket companies making and selling parts with no idea of common interchange on parts they make and sell.

Truly gonna try to do power tour in my 1st gen cummins next year. Been a great daily for 3yrs. And have a backup daily if it goes bad.
Bring an empty trailer, and you will be a hero

That guy hand filing keys is outstanding!

So , I guessed it right? A Mopar for the 5.7 hemi! Looking forward to seeing this beast you bought.question , b-body?🇨🇦👍
Mopar for the 5.7 Hemi
Ive been saying it for years...spring or fall power tour....lets put it together....western states....into canada.....lets go brandon🤠🤓😎
Ever thought about getting a Rally Fighter and going cross country only taking back roads and dirt roads 🤔 🤔🤔 how adventurous can a Rally Fighter be and imagine what you could do with it. Modify and improve it 😁😁😁
It’s hot in the south early in the spring until late late fall…
Just an FYI. If your halogen bulbs connector tabs are getting hot and breaking off it is a clear sign of a poor ground connection between body, frame and charging system. Be a good idea to go thru those and add extras if need be. Ground connections are the single most important part of your electrical system, if you don't have good ones things get hot and fires start.
Ask me how I found out...

Nice guy and a good locksmith.
Cotten! You guys have to do more together, that would be great content!
Another awesome videa. Congrats 🍺
Locksmiths are awesome! 👍👍🇬🇧🇨🇦
Hats off to the lock guy.
Damn that car is beautiful i was still admiring the cab over damn you do good work

Rich,
When are you going to be in S. Florida? I'm in S. W. Florida I'd love to meet you!!
I bet when ole Peg sees this vidya that he just starts saying “DD Speed Shop” over and over as fast as he can until he passes out. Mint!
DD Speed Shop!!
Really would have loved to see the Cat F350 towing the GTO there
Gidday from the valley the ottawa valley eh!
That’s awesome you got a key made for a very good

that locksmith is the real hero
Rain X on the windshield there buddy, that's the backup plan if the wipers fail.
There definitely needs to be a fall power tour. I would rather be cranking the heat than sitting in a pool of sweat haha
This year was brutal, who would've thought summer in the south would be hot?? lol
Nice!
