I remember back in the day when I would stop by my grandpa's farm, and we would on cars and trucks, and then his eyes would glaze over, and he would go into a dead toned monologue in an attempt to get me to buy the specific brand of soylent his overlords were telling him to infect me with. The good ole days for sure.
Watching Vice Grip Garage has taught me a couple things 1. How to tell how bad or good the motor is by tasting the oil 2. You don't need to have the best of the best of equipment to get stuff done 3. You absolutely do not have to act grown up to have fun! Thank you Bieri family for all the amazing content! Please keep up the amazing work of educating while being entertaining!!
Derek and the Bieris, I Thankyou for constantly reassuring me there are good and kind people in this world. I sure look forward to Friday uploads. Awesome way to decompress for the week.
@@ViceGripGarage It's great to see you being able to work at home in the expanded space in the shop and pick stuff out of the concourse collection with the family about to complement the out and about revivals which must be taxing on a guy!
@@ViceGripGarage well that doesnt take much to tower over her!! LOL Not to mention Daddy is part sasquatch , id say bout 67.895 % if my math is correct! hahaha
He's going to be one of those tall/strong units like his Dad. It's funny, he was just a boy when I first started watching the channel, he's basically a young man now, how time flies by.
Just a quick thank you. My going to town rig is a 75 Camaro. I was having trouble with the HEI ignition. I've never had a car with HEI. On one of your vids you worked on a car with the same ignition system and I was able fix mine by learning from watching you. So Thank you.
Love these relaxed videos, there's an air of contentment, playfulness and happiness, you sure are in the zone buddy, the excentricitay is a flowin'. Love listening in on the conversations you have with yourself Derek. ....And when did Bradley grow to be so tall, the guy is almost a fully grown fella.😎👍
@@ViceGripGarage Couldn't agree more! Had me laughing when you told that hoist chain to quiet down. I talk to things all the time myself... maybe I should... nah, that's fine.
Much love from Northern Alberta Canada Derek! My favorite channel of all time. Funniest saying and quirks. Ive sent these videos to my father and grandfather. Both of which are major gearheads! Keep the ol time lumber wagons alive brother 🙏
Yes! Friday night, Bourbon manhattan, couch, and VGG! Great seeing the kids playing in the car. My uncles farm had a old Mustang parked there that I used to go sit in it and shift and make care noises, squealing tires, etc. Neat seeing that.
You’re such an awesome dad Derek. Truly an inspiration. Thank you sir for consistently putting out great and wholesome content that I can enjoy with my family.
Loving this project. If you want to wake that LS1 up throw a BTR bump stick and springs in it. Love seeing kids being kids and lending dad a hand while learning 👍.
Love part 1 of the Monty build. Can't wait for part 2 etc. Want to see how she's gonna do for Sick Week! Thank you, Derek for sharing. Your a "Hard at it" kinda feller. Your whole family is a ALL IN family! When is Jessi going to begin training going down track?
Loved watching those boys playing in the car. Brought back memories of my older brother and I doing the same with Dad's old '54 Chevy pickup. We "drove" a thousand miles and won a hundred races together. Those boys will remember time spent in that garage. Excited to see the finish on this build, who doesn't love a Monte Carlo, and Vice Grip Garage. Stay safe and GOD bless
I just want you to know Derek it's all I can do to not take 35 minutes and watch this right now. My wife and I are in the middle of a big move. But just to let you know I will be watching this bits and pieces on break. My wife and I enjoyed the dismantling of the vette. Blessings to you and yours!!!
I had a 1974 Monte - what a great old beast of a car she was too !! a fella is happy to see you putting a wrench on this gal and teaching your boys on the way. great stuff as always Derek.
I love watching your sons help you. Don't know them but first impressions of them are great and you can tell they love you by the way they look at you.
400 small block - literally the best old school SBC ever made... well, second best, behind the Z/28 302 Replaced with! Just another LS - Just another LS. Don't get me wrong. I love this channel. But from top to bottom this project is a stillbirth. The 'Vette and the Monte BOTH deserved better.
Seeing a guy take a moment and explain how something works to his son always brings a smile to my face. Appreciate you and your team and all you do! Best channel around, from supporting the military, to the family morales. Keep it up, you’ve got a viewer for life
VGG, ever since I've been watching your videos, I've always been calling spark plugs "Sparkelators", coolant "IceCube Juice" and Carburetor "Fuel-Make-It-Happener" (sometimes) I love how much effort you put into these videos and cars!
A guy has been looking forward to a new episode. I remember pretending to shift gears as a young feller in my dad's going to town rig until I could actually drive. Great job Derek and family, thank you for all you do.
Holy christ the hours I spent as a kid playing behind the wheel of old junk cars, or whatever cars were around, or pieces of cars, or even cars that were mine that I was old enough to drive but still likes to just sit and drink it in and imagine the possibilities... who am I kidding. I'll gladly play around in a car in my 30s.
Derek, I have to say thank you, for all of the work you do. You continually bring solid content to the car community, the kind that doesn’t leave us hanging. I’ve been a car guy all my life and there’s a lot I’ve had to learn alone. It’s been refreshing being able to find content that covers every aspect of whatever you’re trying to learn, in such a simple way that seems to really resonate with others. And to turn education into inspiration is absolutely the pinnacle of what a great teacher could be. You truly are a hero
learning alone is half the fun. My car buddy moved to FLA and up and died on us. His ticker was bad. He had a pacemaker as it was Whatever made him think moving away was going to do for him didn't pan out.
This is the third video I have watched from VVG, and, well, "NOT" only was I thoroughly entertained, "BUT", I learned something new from each video! Wow! Imagine that? I want to Thank You Sir for Your hard work, time and consideration on the production and content of Your videos!! And You have kept it Family Friendly too. Thank You so very very much! Looking forward to so much more! Later Friend
A guy is watching a guy at 3:30 a.m. take out an engine by himself and a guy is going to be exhausted all day Saturday but it's well worth it. I love a guy's humor and patience with what ever obstacle arises. Thank you Derrick for your humor and sharing your expertise in such an entertaining way. Have a blessed weekend. VGG is the best!
I've been drinking AG1 for the past three months. I almost immediately felt the difference in my gut. It's not cheap, but it works, and that is what matters.
Just came in from cleaning on some patina on the FoxBody. And whadda ya know? Just in time for a new VGG vid. Me and the wife LOVE your content. Every time you talk about doing things on a budget for the average guy she’s like, “I love that!” Thanks brother!
Coming home after working a 15 hour day at my garage" Vice Grip Garage, is absolutely the only channel on RUclips that I could ever get excited about watching a new video on. Thank you very much Derek.
Love seeing the Young Ones out in the shop with you,reminds me of Dad and I out in the shop. Sure do miss him and spending time in the shop together. Learned a ton from him.Great video as usual,Thanks.
Stumbled across your channel about a month ago and have been catching up on all the old videos. Working on a 1957 studebaker transtar and listen to the channel while working on it. Keep up the great videos
LOVE your channel!😊❤️ You're also hilarious! My husband and I laugh at your your funny sayings and have found ourselves quitting YOU..."Well I'll be dipped!" You should consider a T-shirt with that saying😊👍 We enjoy watching and really appreciate the depth of your car knowledge. More than anything, you make it SO much fun to watch car repair (especially, as a chick, I know nothing about cars, but really find I'm learning a great deal watching your car adventures). Thank you and we look forward to watching more❤️
Not gunna lie, I forgot it was Friday! Gettin' a new VGG video in the playlist when you've forgotten that it's Friday is about as exciting as waking up for school, and then being told that it's Saturday! Bradley helping you is frosting on the cake.
The boys are growing like weeds! It's great that you include them in the work because they are learning invaluable lessons for life. They are going to be better prepared for life than a lot of these kids who play video games or watch TV or Tik Tok all day. Really enjoy seeing you teach them like my dad taught me.
Something I never thought I would ever say about this channel... "That AG1 promo was DOPE!" VGG just keeps getting more awesome by the upload. I Love it all! Thanks VGG family!
Cool! Look forward to seeing it on sick week in Gainesville. I think an LS swap is great. Love the old sbc’s, but the ls’s just have so much more potential, wow.
Derek, as someone who grew up in South Dakota (even though it was East River) I love your "Midwest" mannerisms. You're definitely an inspiration! Really cool that your kids are getting involved, I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old and I can't wait until they are old enough to come play in the garage!
Derek’s boys are gonna be some of the best mechanics around by the time they’re able to drive. 😂 I ❤️ love it that he does things with his kids. Little Grip Garage is awesome too. I like working with my boys. In my last video I had 2 of my boys rebuild 2 Mikuni Carburetors. 😊 It was fun.
My dream car is a 1973 Monte Carlo. No one seems to pay attention to those on car channels. Or anywhere else for that matter. I know this is a 74 but it's close enough to enjoy every video you've made on it.
Always love to you wrenching on your toys with the boys always helping out... Nice to know my garage floor looked the same as yours as my brother-in-law and I swapped motors on a 2015 Kia Soul... This 2015 Kia Soul that I scooped up at auction was severely damaged above the crash bar so the Aluminum Engine took most of the impact, cracking the engine where the alternator bolted to the engine... On these Kia Soul's, so much easier to take the engine and Transmission as a complete unit... The best part about wrenching on our toys is being able to just get out their and do it - enjoying the fresh air, the challenges and of course, when the newly installed engine 'Barks off' on the first Key Turn - That's a beautiful feeling. Another Great Video - Love to see you do what you love to do...
Good job so far with the monte. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I always wanted that year model because my first car was an 82 with the little 305. Even still the single tire burnouts and donuts were epic.
My grandfather pulled frames and repaired cars into his early 70’s. This has become his favorite RUclips channel and it’s awesome to share that as a family. Thank you for the awesome content and how family based you are!
absolutely dig that your kids want and will help you on project cars. gotta learn 'em up...the next generation of gear heads. keep on wrenching bud and creating great content.
A guy has been waiting for vgg all day, can’t wait to get into the vidya! Thank you for all of the entertainment over the years. Not to mention when a fella learns on us!
A fellla who pulls this many engines might consider one of those fancy air over oil lift cylinders. Definitely a game changer for a aging fella or fellet
My hat is off to you for all the knowledge you share in your videos over the years. You are a wealth of information. I’ve learned so much from your vids. Thx for sharing. Keep up all the good work!
Been watching your videos non stop my husband is hooked got to say I am too. I got to say you know your stuff and we enjoy your videos..plus the lodge . Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌.
Good luck on the LS. I can't imagine how you keep all these projects straight in your head? Would love to know how the 400cid registered its objection.
This is all great, feller, but you need to give that red Mustang some love. 😉 As stated, I'm not mechanical at all, but have been enjoying your clips for over a year. You and your family are the real deal.
Derek, I just wanted to say that it does my heart good to see you working with your sons. Dont see a whole lot of this anymore. All of you are very lucky to do this and have the memories you are creating.
Loved the shot of sneaking up behind the boys playing "race car"! Also, just a shout out to Derek nailing the interview with Jared Pink... would really enjoy seeing more of this kind of action with Derek interviewing/chatting with other automotive "celebrities" on the RUclipss. O'Reilly's knows a good thing when they see it! Makes me want to go buy some parts and pieces from my local store!
I like the LS swap idea on this one. As you said it will be a reliable, turn key car that can actually provide alot fun and power with little modification. I like it and as always I love your content! Keep on keeping on Derek. Your one of a kind!
Hey Derek, you might want to look into the pneumatic jacks they have at harbor freight for cherry pickers (engine hoists). It's basically just a regular jack setup but with an extra mechanism on the side and a valve that you can hook compressed air to, then when you hold a valve open it acts as if you're operating the handle but a lot faster.
Loved that couple seconds where you were showing Bradley how the blower works... it was in the FF section but caught my eye. Love what your doing there and the Monte Carlo transformation too.
Great video! I'm old school. We just hooked a chain to the back of one head and into the front of the other. That engine lift plate was for the fancy shops! lol
I enjoy watching whatever you're up to, your enthusiasm is contagious 😉 I'm looking forward to seeing the Monte Carlo modernized and running again. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work Derek 👍✌️🇺🇲

I'm one of the two guys who bitched about the LS1 swap, and I'm thoroughly enjoying this!
Dang! Bradley is getting tall. Always love seeing the boys out helping dad on the rigs. Keep on killing it Derek, as a creator and a father.
Tall'r than his momma now!
@@ViceGripGarage well that doesnt take much to tower over her!! LOL Not to mention Daddy is part sasquatch , id say bout 67.895 % if my math is correct! hahaha

When is Jessi going to begin training going down track?
Something uniquely special about watching you explain the blower to Bradly in high speed. Thanks for putting that in Dad.
I have been waiting for this. I’m not a Monte Carlo guy but this car is a favorite of mine on your channel!
awesome!
@@ViceGripGarage Love to see you find a 1974 455 Pontiac Grand AM. A 400 would be cool, but I had friend with a 455, WHEW! was it powerful.

Always good too see a fella and his boys having some quality time. And the boys playing in the car was absolute gold!
Absolutely love all of the videos, from draggin’ ‘em out of a tree row to swaps and restorations🤘

O'Reilly's knows a good thing when they see it! Makes me want to go buy some parts and pieces from my local store!
I like the LS swap idea on this one. As you said it will be a reliable, turn key car that can actually provide alot fun and power with little modification. I like it and as always I love your content! Keep on keeping on Derek. Your one of a kind!
and the RUclips automotive channel of the year award goes to Vice Grip Garage. I would love to spend a day wrenching on cars with Derek.
I nearly shot my cold snack out of my nose with Derek’s engine removal advice- “make sure you’re doing it late at night by yourself” 😂
So good to see the 2nd team at it (1st with Jess) and teaching the up-and-comer the ropes!
Hey Derek, you might want to look into the pneumatic jacks they have at harbor freight for cherry pickers (engine hoists). It's basically just a regular jack setup but with an extra mechanism on the side and a valve that you can hook compressed air to, then when you hold a valve open it acts as if you're operating the handle but a lot faster.
Those are amazing: I've used mine with my cherry picker to move truck cabs around a few times. SO much easier than pumping it by hand....
Thank you Derek and Jessica for being awesome! I love y’all’s videos, and your parenting style makes me smile :-)
My first and only membership ever on RUclips. Can't get enough. 😁
Another awesome video, tonight is the second time watching. Thank you for another video for all of your fans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is the most entertaining and wholesome automotive channel on RUclips. By far.
I could watch you for hours on end! Thank You Vice Grip Garage!
Just gotta say Derek, your taste in classic country is mighty fine. Six days on the road and Swingin' are gold
Loved that couple seconds where you were showing Bradley how the blower works... it was in the FF section but caught my eye.
Love what your doing there and the Monte Carlo transformation too.
@10:20 she sits like that Vette! Perfect, engine understands what’s coming already
Keep the great work up. You truly are a legend Luke, from the UK 🇬🇧 I am also a mechanic you truly are an legend 🇬🇧💯👍🏻
First time that I've seen a trans like that Corvette one, very informative video, thanks, I'm always learning something new.
The clip of the boys playing in the car made my day. Awesome 🙏
Great video! I'm old school. We just hooked a chain to the back of one head and into the front of the other. That engine lift plate was for the fancy shops! lol
I enjoy watching whatever you're up to, your enthusiasm is contagious 😉 I'm looking forward to seeing the Monte Carlo modernized and running again. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work Derek 👍✌️🇺🇲
Yep..thanks for always having fun working on the cars..
