ABANDONED To RESTORED! Rebuilding a Ford F100 | Part 2 -Classic Truck Interior Overhaul!

I just wanted to let you know that I lost my brother unexpectedly to a brain aneurysm a week ago today. He was 56. It was a very emotional and exhausting week. I watch all of your videos and the John Deere episode helped me think about something else and even laugh! So thank you for all you do. Your videos go much deeper than just car restorations. I appreciate you bringing joy to a very painful week. I pray for continued success for you and your family. Thank you, guy!

Hey Derrick, I have been upholstering for 57 years. The next time you do any upholstery in vinyl . On the back section spray the foam with silicone to help th corners to slide down easier. The ,last thing that you can do to make. It easier and more professional heat the corners of the vinyl with steamer or a heat gun to make the vinyl easier to st r etch over the corners . You did a great job but with that little bit of knowledge I just shared with you it could be flawless. No wrinkles and corners tight. Awesome job fora beginner. Love watching all of your videos.

Who else could keep me glued to my phone or TV for over 2 hours? That's why the channel name is VICE GRIP GARAGE. Your genius in keeping us clamped to your projects is unparalleled. Thanks for all you share. Friend Grubstake

“Can’t be tight if it’s liquid” had me dying Derek. That needs to be a VGG t-shirt. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Oh that truck is never gonna run right with GM foam in a Ford seat! 🙃 I swear you are opening a lot of eyes and changing the way people think about their content with these feature film length videos. Thanks as always.

Thank you for mentioning the upholstery guys. I have been doing custom cars and upholstery for 47 years. And doing custom interiors and upholstery is always overlooked and as you said, it’s getting harder and harder to find the guys like my age that are still doing that learn the hard way, not just buying and installing kits. We appreciate you mentioning the guys that never get any credit

Hearing my 5yr old say " oofta" warms my heart lol. He says it all the time and at the right time it's great....Tshirt idea... 🤔

Derek you should make your own “build sheet” and put it behind the seat or something so when the new owner gets the rig it will have something personal from you and for the truck

Derek - tip for you and others doing upholstery work. Drape some thin plastic (2-3 mil) over those foam cushions before sliding new seat covers on. There's a lot of friction between the foam cushions and the foam on the underside of the new covers. They'll slide on like butter. Also, lay those new covers out in the sun on a warm day to soften them up just before installation. Same with the new carpet kit. Lastly, use a heat gun VERY carefully to warm up any wrinkles after the covers are installed, and use the palm of your hand to "iron" them out. After owning a classic auto upholstery shop for 45+ years, I've learnt a few things, and still learning. I love your tips about using the carpet protectors as a replacement for the door panel moisture shields, and the heated-up punch for making bolt holes in carpet. Gonna do that next time.....

" I got the Cosby spray. ". 😂. I'm gonna be laughing at that one all weekend!

I had a 92 Ford F-150 Blue step side and it had roll up windows. Around 2000 I picked up my neice and was taking her to town. She asked how to roll the windows down. I showed here then she said wow those are cool is that a new invention! I’ll never forget that.

My husband and I were scrolling thru YouTube and we stumbled upon your site. YOU ARE A RIOT😂. We laughed a lot and now we look forward to watching your videos. Also what was refreshing was to see your sons being so respectful. Loved it and love watching. God bless your family.

Just love it when Jessica comes out and helps a fella!

One of the things that makes your channel so enjoyable to watch, is that it doesn't take 6 mo's worth of episodes to complete what you have accomplished here. It's far more preferable to watch without leaving a guy hanging weeks at a time before seeing how it's done, and gratifying to see the end results. I'm not even a ford guy, although this turned out so nice that I'm going to enter right now by purchasing some merch. for a chance that just maybe... I could own this 'ol rig. Thanks Derek.

Who else would I give 2 hours plus of my time watching? Derek and Jessica, you'all are the best!

Every time I watch you , it brings back all the memories of when my dad was still alive it's almost the 1yr anniversary of when we lost him to cancer. He was a truck driver and once I got him watching vgg no matter how far he was we were always watching together and having a good laugh . Thank you for everything you do because atleast with my Dad he had something to help get his mind off of dying. You guys have no idea how much these videos mean to me.

That Cosby comment was the discreetly funniest thing you ever said. Laughed for 10 mins. Love the show.

My 9 month pregnant wife says the rig should be two tone blue and white... Yeah, I know, it's a little bold, but a guy doesn't usually disagree with a pregnant lady. 😄 All jokes aside, we're 27, married since 21, living in Minnesota, this will be our first baby and I'm so excited to introduce them to working on rigs like I do. I've been watching your videos since I got out of the Army a few years ago, used to be a mechanic in the Army, have an office job now, but still really enjoy wrenching on things. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride Derek and family! I also think this era Ford look really good with that chocolate brown color.

I’ve said it before but we need more people with your work ethic Derek! You’re a beast! Great work

Thank you for keeping a clean channel. You are one of the few things I can watch and not worry about what my toddler will start repeating.
