this guy has been my evening entertainment.

Very Good stuff, very knowledgeable and living the dream.

That's a badass ford truck too



 
What do you mean too bad it's a Ford? Dat chit ain't funny.
 
One real good one is ford LTD elite.

I remember around 2010, I saw a few of these in the yards, all gone now. The good ol days are fading.

 
Like what he does, and I watch his videos. He does a good job with his character, having fun with verbiage. He is very entertaining in a dry way... LOL.
 
I like the truck but videos like this one right here make me glad I live in a dry desert

I have never seen rust like this anywhere near here

 
Not to change the subject, the title caught my eye. Who, on here does not own a real Vice Grip? The ones made in Dewitt Nebraska. These were produced in Dewitt, a small town about 20 or so miles from where I grew up. I think the population was quite a bit under a 1000. I think they employed 300-400 people. Then one day quite a few years ago they moved the whole works to China.
So-look on your ViceGrips, if they don't say Peterson, Made in Dewitt NE, then they aren't real Vice Grips. Just a little history lesson.
 
That is awesome stuff! Reminds me of the feeling i got the first time I got my slant 6 to start. How have I never seen this guy before? I'm subscribed now!

Irwin now makes the original Vise Grip Pliers right here in the USA. Read here:

Read the handle. All of the Irwin Vise Grips are made here NOW. I have several new pair.

His duster video is prettygood. The caddy episode is great
 
I have 4-5 of the originals, different sizes & I use them occasionally when a bolt or nut want to be stubborn. LOL
 
His mono tone voice... kills me, each and every time. Puts me to sleep. I watch him when I have a headache.
 
That video is dedicated to all those who say "Car hadn't started in 30 years? Do a compete engine teardown in a clean room!" Yeah, F that...dump some fuel down the carb and jump that *****! If it runs, it runs. I drove my barn find '65 "S" 25 miles on 5 cylinders, a pint of brake fluid, a dead battery and 3 gallons of gas. I'm sure it didn't have 10 minutes on the motor in 20 years, tags were 1976! I did have someone follow me but I made it, no drama and no speeding ticket.
