Derek Bieri of Vice Grip Garage was kind enough to invite me onto his new Motor Trend TV show called Roadworthy Rescues to help with a 1928 Ford Model A that had been sitting for 60 years. We had just 5 days to get it running, driving, and looking respectable so that we could check out some historic Detroit landmarks like the Ford Highland Park plant (where most of the 15 million Model T's were made) and the Woodward Dream Cruise on famous Woodward Avenue. The Model A was in worse shape than we thought, can we do it? Here is what it was like behind the scenes filming that epic episode of Roadworthy Rescues, Season 1, episode 7, "Motown Model A". Roadworthy Rescues airs Tuesday nights at 10, or available any time on MotorTrend On Demand- www.motortrend...
Thank you to Derek Bieri and Motor Trend for this amazing opportunity! Thank you to Michelle Turczyn, Christine Dang, Sandon Voelker, Matthew Thompson, Sean Winograd, Brad Bass, and David Silberman. Also thank you to Dennis at MC3. Sorry Derek and I ruined your Harbor Freight shop vac!
For those wondering, there was nothing made up or faked, this is really what happened. Derek Bieri is exactly the same off camera as he is on camera. Absolutely no ego or attitude, just a super nice, down to earth fella who is ultra supportive of his friends and family. And, Derek really knows his stuff!! Don't be fooled by the humbleness, he is a top notch mechanic!

I am so glad Derek has gotten this famous, I started following him right before his channel blew up. The guy is a genius at what he does, truly funny and an awesome father. I bet your channel will blow up with Derek's appearance.👍

@ModelA Год назад

He is truly a great guy. My channel will never blow up, I'm way too niche.

@Grumpy_old_Boot Год назад

Don't be too sure about that - There's 8 billion people in the world ... with that amount of people, even niche things can blow up.

@donnieadkins6925 Год назад

Maybe because I’m an old man but this show brought tears as the times are changing and folks today are gradually losing history I so loved this episode thanks for all you do keeping us old guys in touch with our aging hostory

Thanks Donnie. I am doing my beat to preserve this kind of American history.

Well guys....my heart melted when I saw the model A getting fixed :) I have a 1931 model A truck....me and my dad restored it in 2001...I was 31 years old first driving it....then...A huge rain storm came and flooded our home..the model A was parked in front of the house...water came so fast that it covered the model A for about 3 hours....my heart broke in that moment....after the water went down me and dad:( pushed the truck to the garage and drained the engine...he put kerosene in the engine and sadly it's been sitting since 2001. If Road worthy rescue could come to Anawalt, WV and help me get it running again... my broken heart my begin to heal...I lost my Dad in 2018 and my soul needs this Model A truck to live again...if the show is interested in coming I would be forever grateful... much love for your show....please respond... your friend, John Victor Davis :)

@matthewb8229 Год назад

Thanks to Derek, I was clued into your channel, and I am one fortunate youtube surfer. The amount of knowledge you've gathered over the years of working on these cars is incredible. Next spring, I start working on a 1940 Ford 1/2 ton truck my dad took apart in 1980. He had recently passed, and the truck is still in parts in his garage. It does have the original flathead in it, though.

@ModelA Год назад

So sorry to hear of your dad passing, Matthew. Good luck on the truck
