    My dad passed away about 5 years ago. He would have loved your channel. He grew up in the Depression and had learn how to fix things with whatever was available. He took pride in a grey 2wd Chevy that had some "weight reduction areas" that he "fixed" with grey duct tape and spray paint. He was also proud that the rims on the passenger side didn't match the rims on the driver side. He just liked driving his old pickup. Didn't care a bit about what anyone thought. He and my Mom grew up in North Dakota so I know all about "Uff-da", also! 😊

    Yes Derek's videos are great for helping someone get through some rough times. I'm going through rough times myself currently and there are times when an emotional lift me up is vital. In fact, his videos including some that are pretty old, and some videos from a few very select others where on KZread, have been priceless and have been helping immensely with my healing and recovery for most of the last 3 months of hell, and I credit those select few channels with my progress on relearning how to walk again. (I made a phone holder that fits on my walker so I can watch and increase my determination to succeed at walking because being able to walk and stand is the only way I can get back to being able to work on a couple of car projects of mine.

I know that's prevented me in the past every time, I didn't have the money so why start it?

    Love this channel and the content. Creatives like Derek are a national treasure and deserve all the success. While network TV churns out rehashed cop shows with guys kissing each other that no one watches, we have VGG. Keep the wrenches turning!

    Have you ever checked out the old Packard plant in Detroits east side? It is a very interesting place even in its decay. Packard also was first to design n build a multi level assembly plant due to Albert Kahn and his super strong support pillars. Shame Studebaker cooked the books when they bought them in the mid 50s

    WOW ! What a GREAT recovery of an old classic. Ole Geezer Gear Head here(papasmurf7597). When I was a kid, a million years ago(late fortys-early fiftys), Packards similar to that one, were a pretty common sight. You were right n your comment. THEY were a higher quality automobile. UNAPPRECIATED! My ole man(my father) was a professional auto mechanic dating back to the 'T' days. He also would say that you could balance a quarter on the head of a well tuned Packard straight 8. Funny to hear you say the same thing. BTW, if my memory serves me right, Packards did install a V8 in either '55' or '56'. And, I think, I may be wrong with this info, those Packard V8s could be bored out safely, 1/4 of an inch. Without ruining the engine block. Thanks for this great video. I sure enjoyed it. Sorry for the long comment.

    I think one of the biggest flaws was the overly long crankshaft limits it's potential somewhat, but if modern metalurgy could fix that, then you need to be able to design a car that can accomodate that long of an engine. That said, any car that has one is instantly cool.

It is often better as a survivor with the bumps and bruises that show individuality. And that is the stuff people notice. Allows more conversation, and there is no comparing of individuality 👍🏼

I spent a number of years wrenching with my dad where I could, but to hear my pops tell me with excitement my brother is getting into it too was really a joy to hear. My brother calls you the Bob Ross of auto channels, and I really think that sums you up. It's fun to watch, thanks and keep it up!

    I learned to be a shade tree mechanic from my dad. When he passed in 2001 I brought home a 65 Monterey convertible that was rough. The only saving grace was good floors and good trunk. Put in a good solid year of work and built a nice cruiser. Watching you do your Roadworthy Rescues reminds me of all the same tricks I used back then. Still have and drive the Merc to this day. God Bless you and your family and all the people you inspire.
