You never know what—or who—you'll run into in the aisles. In this episode, Derek talks to Jacob from the YouTube channel Puddin's Fab Shop. Hear Jacob discuss his journey from jet engine mechanic to "I wasn't cut out for customer service." He talks about his work on Datsuns, box trucks and Internationals, his dream of owning a '64 Impala Wagon, and his lying under a truck in a flash flood, bench-pressing a transmission into place. At which point, Derek and Jacob agree: wrenching in the rain is the worst.

Vice Grip Garage has been gracin' the interwebs since 2019 and has pursuaded countless clunkers to run over years. Maybe only half of 'em had brakes (and that's being generous). Derek focuses on budget builds, rescues, and how to's for the common folk. From classic cars to tractors Derek has been there and driven it home 600 miles.
