There might be more to his inventiveness than what's shown still like him.

and then he takes a hammer to the hood tach.....

looking forward to seeing the episode with the '62 DarkSider...

Watched the episode of 79 TA and the 62 Bonneville not finished but he took it to Woodward Ave.

The '62 Barneville episode was kinda disappointing. He didn't get much done. He says it'll be back though. So... Love the show however.

The 35 Chevy was a good one and the 442 was good

I like the show in general and enjoy Derek's take. I like the episodes where Derek just gets the car back on the road more than the episodes where they're making dirt track cars and that type of thing. I'm not as interested in the "guest appearances" from other Motor Trend shows.

It's a show with some of it for effect. Is Derek really just going to take a good lightning cube and literally throw it into the engine compartment before hooking it up? Is he really going to try to crank the engine before even checking to see if it has oil, or if there's a bunch of water in the crankcase or the cylinders? Is he really going to drive the car any distance without replacing fuel hoses or brake hoses, etc.?

The '70 GTO episode had some of that type of thing. As Simple Man pointed out, he smashed out the hood tach, but it was broken. Would it have been worth saving? The Barneville episode was good but it was clear he was never getting that back on the road in five days. Hopefully we'll see it again.

I like Derek, but his YT videos have gotten too damn long for me to watch. The Discovery Channel videos are a bit shorter. Will have to check them out.

Waiting for the 55 Pontiac to record,havent seen it on my recording list.

The Barnaville episode was filmed in Michigan, he trailered the car up and down Woodward, Hitting cars and coffee multiple times.

Part Two of the Barneville episode aired a few days ago. Another good episode with a lot of wrenching. It was nice of Derek to give the car back to the daughter of the owner who originally set out to build it, after getting it back on the road.

Tip - episodes of Motor Trend shows are available at go.discovery.com and it's possible to sign on through a lot of cable TV providers. There are lots of shows that aren't carried on the Motor Trend channel right now.

Don't know why a lot of shows didn't air this week. Here is Season 3, Episode 11...

I had 4 record, The Chevy gasser was a good one, actually fixing up the big tractor was entertaining.
Part 2 of the Barnaville was good. Deff saved that car.
