      It’s amazing how much better off a family is when the parents love each other and stay married and raise the kids together. In the “hookup culture” of today most kids are born to a mom who doesn’t want them to know their father and probably doesn’t even know for sure which one it is himself, but if she did he would be a deadbeat who couldn’t be “tied down” by any more than a one night stand so it’s no great loss. Derek and Jessica really are the gold standard of American Families, we should all aspire to be like them.

    So enjoyable watching your channel! I've crawled under so many trucks and hypo cars to work on and even welded under them and have been real lucky not to get
    rust or steel in my eyes. I learned from experience after getting metal in my eyes to wear eye protection and when you are young in your 20s you might think there
    isn't a problem like that but I learned from experience after going a eye doctor twice to have the metal removed. That also goes with using a grinder just be careful
    working under all equipment. A friend of mine who is active in Mopar Car shows found out the hard way and he was grinding metal and never wears a hat when
    welding or working on cars ran his hand through his hair and got a sliver of metal in his eye and had to have a eye doctor remove it so he learned a lesson early.
    That old Cadillac might have had the airbags in the coil springs we use to use air shocks on the Mopars but went to changing the leaf springs or lengthened
    shackles and added traction bars. You instill a wealth of information on getting the forgotten vehicles back on the road and as far as I am concerned, these old
    vehicles are far more practical than today's "cookie-cutter" cars and at least a back yard mechanic can work on them!

    At 8:16 that is my good friend Demetrius 1972 Cutlass. That car was just finished not very long ago. Less than a month I believe. Of all the cars a guy could show in a video, it makes me smile seeing a close friends car pop up. Thank you Derek, Jessica, and the boys. You guys giving hot wheels cars to kids made my heart smile. Keep it up!

    Dayton Ohio... In August of 2003 I bought a '68 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible on eBay from a guy in Dayton. Flew one-way from Atlanta to Dayton and drove it home. Starter solenoid quit (of course) while I was somewhere in Kentucky. Shoulda known an old Ford starter solenoid would go out. LOL. I had bought a AAA membership before I left, and the tow guy simply towed me to the local auto-parts store and we replaced it. :-) Kept that car for 15 years.

    Very entertaining to be included in your road trip. I'm an old grandad now and this brings back memories of a 69 Cougar I bought in college years which I installed AIR SHOCKS just like those on the Betty Caddie! Which out, they tend to slowly leak out (but now u have new air lines and fittings so good luck). Your wife is terrific, and so are your kids. Really enjoying your trip!
