ABANDONED 1973 Dodge D100 Ryder's First Revival! Can he get it running & driving again? 

Brent you are a wonderful grandpa and a fine teacher, Ryder will always remember these days spent with you getting the truck running and then driving it. Not only that, but you are teaching him a trade that he can support himself and a family someday if he chooses. The world needs more like you! God Bless!

Ryder will be a master mechanic in no time! Way to build memories!

It's really nice watching the young ones learn. Keep up the great work Brent you are a awesome roll model!!

I like how you get Ryder to do the work. Giving him confidence. He’s starting to just dive in. Looking forward to when he gets used to the camera and talk away. 😂. The burnout was hilarious!!!

You give new meaning to Let's go pick up your donated truck. Bet Derick from Vice Grip Garage is enjoying this.

Ryder I hope you realise you’re part of the dream team we all want to be in…what a legend

Following pops on his gocart. Learning about his new truck AND a burnout at the end. You're a great grandpa Brent. Seeing Ryders smile is the joy I needed today

They gave Ryder the truck. Thinking it was a goner. But did make it run. Very cool. 😎 And Ryder is a happy little guy. Working with you makes him happy. No brakes handled. He smile is like the cat the swallowed the canary. Just made his work come to life. Know your feeling good. Loved it! 💯👍👊Thanks for sharing!!

Big thumbs up for Ryder, Looks like he's verry happy with you Brent 👍 💪

The smile on ryders face when thar mopar fired into life was priceless awesome work guys and brent ur awesome mate how you teaching the young fella

That smile on Ryders face when you took of made me smile. Good job guys

Brent you and Ryder have that same passion to see old clunkers have a second chance at life, your laugh and Ryders smile as he's getting to driving the old dodge says it all. Ya even got me smiling and that takes something!

Looking forward to what happens here. I learned to drive in a green '74. Great content, love seeing the younger generation working along side!

Looking forward to seeing Ryder work on his own projects under your direction.

i love seeing ryder in your videos. guy is getting a helluba education on top of already being cool as hell. keep up the good work guys!

This is really good of you to bring Ryder out and into the real world of driving. Back when I was a kid, our 66 Polara had an ignition key tumbler that would fall out. My brother and I (when we were barely 16) knew that all we needed was a screw driver to start the car and drive off. I know that I did, but I was 6 feet tall when I was 15. I drove my parents car around town without a license when they went out of town. I was a bad influence on my twin brother. After finally confessing to him that I did that, he told me he'd done it too. Lucky for us nothing happened. I took the car out the same day the truant officer showed up to find out why my brother was skipping school. I guess I'm trash now. Nope. I lived through it finally (TiC) complied with the law. It took till my mid 20s to tow the legal line. Confession...

Way to go Brent! the most important thing you can give Ryder is your time! Check the smile on his face! Of course the burnout proves the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree!! Take care!

You can see in Ryders face how happy he was when it started

Won’t be long and this’ll be the Ryder show. You’re gonna need a playlist soon. The Ryder Files

You and Ryder are both very lucky to have each other. The world would be a much better place if people would just even TRY to have more of the attitude that you and yours have always shown on your videos. Keep making that young man smile!

I love Ryder's free truck smile. Worth it all day!

You just made that young man summer drive his pickup truck. Never seen a smile on his face that big when you got to drive his truck Friend like you, his young man's going to be your friend for life. Good mentor 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Brent it’s awesome to see the look on Ryders face when the motor started. He will never forget those moments ever. Great job showing him by doing .

Great video Brent. That kid has a first class tutor in you. Also really really good to see the new shop in the background. I look forward to seeing it develop!!.,

You guys are the king of getting junkers running and driving! The smile on Ryder's face is priceless!!

great video Brent, the look on Ryders face when it ran and then when he got to drive it was priceless, well done to you both, ever lasting memories being made there, all the best from the UK

Smile on Ryders face when the truck started is priceless. Awesome

You gotta love that smile on Ryder's face as he pulled out of the shop, great to see 👊

That smile Ryder had on his face as he pulled out of the garage is priceless

Passing your knowledge, skill and time to Ryder is the greatest gift of all. enjoy this time together. Thank for sharing it with us

Ryder started smiling as soon as the motor kicked over and never stopped 😊

The smile on Ryder's face when it fired up is priceless!!

Priceless memories for both you and Ryder. You are definitely a grandpa that is great!

The world would probably be a better place, if we had more Grandads like you, Brent! 🛠🇺🇸🛠

The smile on Ryder's face when pulling out was worth the watch!

If this young man sticks with you it will be amazing when he can learn and he can use it later in life it is great to see somebody taking effort and learning what is old people know

Just the smile you put on Ryders face says it all Brent no words needed 🤙👍👍👍

so cool seeing you guys working together er

I love seeing you with your kids awesome and teaching him beautiful .ps love your videos sir ❤

So glad to see you teach your grandson. We need more young kids learning about cars.

Brent, you are such a great teacher, Ryder is very lucky and also deserving. The grins and laughter especially the one wheel peel are priceless. Thanks for all you do and taking us along. Catch you on the next one...later

Great stuff Ryder and Brent !!! The smiles on Ryder's face says it all!!! God bless you all!!!!! Eddy

I am 58 and i miss doing this kind of stuff with my grandfather . This was a joy to watch he will never forget these moments.

Brent, the smile on Ryder's face, the attention to listen to your every word means he will be good at everything he does in life. Ryder's confidence is growing, we finally heard his voice and he will be great young man. You can teach and watch your lineage continue.

That was great to watch. Ryder is very lucky to have you as a mentor. The grin on his face says it all. "Don't hit the bleeder"! lol

That was a great video, Ryder was smiling several times, he is now hooked for life on building cars and trucks thanks to Brent. This video had the perfect ending, the old Dodge doing a burnout, awesome.

There is nothing quite as valuable as mentorship. Thanks Team Halfass.

That was a great video keep up the great work the kid was happy

Terrific . More please !

Rider's smiles say it all. You are a great mentor.

Brent, this was awesome. Look on his face sometimes was priceless. Living the good life. Keep it up. Greetings from the Netherlands.

That's one happy young feller driving the truck down the road.... great job Ryder,nice burnout guys😎👍

That smile at the end of the video when Ryder is doing a burnout. Well done.

Ryder is one lucky young fella to have a grandpa that teaches him about vehicles. He is learning.

Brent the smile you put on that boys face is priceless!! You’re a great teacher and grandpa…he will have memories forever

Ryder will remember this all his life! Great video!

That was awesome Brent, i don't know who was happier, you or Ryder. He will remember that forever, so very cool.

Good job 👍 He's learning stuff from your experience and you're making it fun!! There's a lot of self satisfaction from handing down knowledge and then seeing he can do things by himself ❤️

Nice job - I enjoy all the vids, but this one in its simplicity was one of the best. A simple , plain truck driving with a youngin’. What a way to learn!

Can't believe how big of smiles Ryder gets when things go good. he needs his own channel. I saw that piece of metal in the bed that looks like it might be good for your plasma table. It's so good that you are teaching the younger generation your skills.

The happy look on ryders face when he was driving down the road makes it all worthwhile

Boy she was DEEP in the weeds!!! Have fun Brent and Ryder 😆

That big smile on Ryders face , made it all worth while ....

It's truly shocking to me how resilient these old motors are. It's also really wonderful to see a grandfather passing the skills along.

Can,t wait till Ryder and Pablo go joy riding around the farm both will be smiling ear to ear.

The emotion of getting your first engine to run will be with you for life. Congrats!

This is a life video building memories forever in Ryders mind. We all should have such memories and what a better life we all would live.

How long will it take that great kid to come out of his shell . It’s so nice to see you two hanging out

The traditional tire-fry was brilliant! Thanks for sharing, Brent! Bro Harry

WoW These trucks came out just when I started my AUTO apprenticeship in 71 or 73 .COOOOL. The city of Ottawa also had this colour for their fleet of cars, trucks, and bigger trucks like snowplows etc.

Great teamwork!! Love it when the kids show interest in working with their hands.

Well that’s the biggest smile I’ve ever seen from the boy you are a great teacher

Afternoon Brent & Ryder, what you are teaching the young man will stick with him for as long as he has air in his lungs, I'm 65 years old, when I was 14-15 years old there was a guy across the street that had a LS-6 in a 67 Camaro, I hung around there as much as they would allow me, he taught me alot, I still remember washing parts for a engine rebuild....

Great job Brent! You made a young guy's dream come true! And he learned a lot!

Ryder had a smile so big I don’t think he could have smiled any wider. I just couldn’t figure out who was having the most fun you from teaching or him learning and both of you were so excited when it all came together running and driving. He looked so confident when he was going down the road, and I know you were so proud of him all the work and to take a burn with him behind the wheel that will be a great memory for the both of you, later

My first ride was a 65 Dodge Corenet...that my Father gave to me...after I got it running I took him for a ride...SO many memories... Thanks for this journey Brent!!!

That smile on Ryder's face. I love that he gets to learn so much about cars.

That is awesome! Yeah back in 1998 i was 17 and worked for a farmer in saskatchewan and he gave me a 1976 dodge d100. Pretty much the same truck but brown. Tranny was bad in it, i replaced it from a 727 out of a dodge aspen and i drove it for a bit. This sure brings back memories! Great video ❤

*- It is so very Big Time Cool to see the unimaginable image of a truck going sideways across a long road through the countryside.* *- It just made me chuckle.*

All I can say is awesome work guys. Great to see a younger person wanting to learn about cars

Another person is correct Brent. Ryder will always remember this. The world does need more people like you

This is Awesome Brent the size of the smile on His face is worth everything great job 👏

The smile on his face is priceless love it 😊

WOW WOW WOW...CONGRATS RYDER.. AWESOME #1 ride...nice burn 👍😎

Brent nice work with Ryder!! I hope they get started on the new garage before the snow fly's. It's gonna be here before you know it!!!

Nice to see you teaching the next generation! He is blessed to have you and your wife for a good idea of a family life and hard work! God bless you and your family.

The smile when the truck started. You can't put a price on that. And he gets to drive his own truck. Priceless memories.

When Ryder drove out of the shop that smile was priceless Brent that was worth it all wasn't it God bless you guys

Y'all definitely remind me of my grandfather and I. We were always tinkering with some project together when I was a kid. Cherish the time you spend together. We buried that great man after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's and dementia at the end of July of this year. I truly miss those days. I have been getting my kids to help me work on my truck if I have a small project (selfishly for the nostalgia)

Memories with Papa, I only knew one, lost him when I was 7 but I still have our Memories. Thank you Brent.

You are creating precious memories and experience for this young boy. I never had such experiences with either my father or my grandfather. They were too busy and too macho to spend time with us. Whatever you are teaching this boy is admirable and probably he will remember it all his life. I also love and enjoy seeing you revive and put back to life old souls. Take care and God Bless.

The look on Ryders face says it was a massive success Brent . He will drive that every time he comes over now (odd jobs for gas money )

Nothing beats getting free pickup. At very least he has a good motor and trans, plus some more experience. Great to see. I haven’t been watching real long (first video was right after the fire) but sure is nice to get to know you all.

I loved Ryder's expression when the motor popped off for the first time, he will be back for more. Look like a little 318 motor and not a lot of smoke when you started it, you might have a something for his truck project. Fun video.

Between being a Dodge truck guy and hoping to see my son join me in the shop someday like Ryder is, this has been hands down one of my fav videos you've put out. Great job you guys!

Congratulations Ryder on your first revival , the first of many in your future I'm sure .Thanks for taking us along !

Seeing Rider's Smile reminds us of the time we first brought one back from the dead. The small block dodge is a great engine, it'll take a ton of abuse

I think he really likes this truck. It’s a keeper….Did you see his face when it started? Priceless!!

Hi Brent, it would be a good truck to start Ryder learning panel replacement to cutout rust etc. it’s good to see how you support Ryder with his projects too. Great vid, good on you both.

Very cool grand son moments❤! I remember those days both as a son and a father, and recently as a grandpa! Some of the best moments in my life, sure do miss you dad! 😢 Ryder has the best smile everytime that old Dodge fires up!!!
