TIME TO DRIVE this Ford V8 Powered Dual Track Drag Racing Snowmobile? 

The head-on view of you sitting in that machine with the headers breathing fire should be considered in a future intro.

Dangit! I really wanna see that thing fly thru the snow like it's meant to. It just needs to be done!

I'm italian and whenever you say "italian tune up" you make me the proudest italian ever

Over here in the old UK a guy has started talking like a guy does over in the US of A and nobody here understands him anymore, so that's productive. So I'll do the right thing and keep right on doing the same. Thanks Derek. Awesome channel.

A guy can’t just leave us hanging like that.

Bummer. I really wanted to see a guy give ‘er the onions. Very cool to see such a beast.

Please dont give up on her yet, we gotta see the old girl scootin around on its own power. Just been a tease up to this point ;)

I enjoyed seeing the flames shoot out of those zoomies! I could tell that Chris was really excited.

watching you flush the coolant system with an air hose reminded me of the time I got the trots in Bangkok.

Those V8 from the 60's were special, 289 wow sounds amazing 👏

That's one of the things I admire about you, the need to make sure that history is preserved, told and passed along, not only to your family, but to everyone. This is one thing nobody should pretend they didn't see. A lot of people will be amazed when they h👀k their p👀pers onto that big old sled.

I was yelling NOOOOOO! at my computer screen when Derek said they had to shuter down! I so wanted to see that thing go down the driveway!

That was a great tribute Derek! Kind of a bittersweet deal, at least the engine and the memories will live on

Gotta love simple machines! The old 'let her rip and blow her out' trick works great!

When I saw that flame fly out of header number 2👌🏼 Italian tune up at its finest

Watching the flames come out of Cylinder number 2 was a great moment, she lives indeed.

I hope there is somebody who has this spare parts and when this somebody sees these video he wants that beast to actually work and just contacts you and sends them :D

It's pretty cool that you're helping the man's legacy live on through his one-of-a-kind project.

What an amazing creation! Thank you so much for giving it some love and time! And sharing it with us!

The man is a legend wearing pit vipers and fixing the cars the built and made this beautiful country

That thing is SO America, makes me wanna salute, it's awesome, fer sure!!!

Hopefully someone in the know takes the time to fix the cogs and we get to see it run one day.

I like how Chris casually just moseyed off the screen at the beginning of the video. He's the king of silent comedy. He's the reincarnation of Charlie Chaplin.

This is by far my favorite italian tune-up. Just rev-heaven 👌🏻

Hearing that old 289 open up and sing brought a tear to my eye.

Mixed emotions, I really wanted to see you get this sucker rippin but at least you are giving it back to the family. Good on ya !

Good job saving a one of a kind! I am sure he could hear that monster singing!

So close, I was really looking forward to see that beast ripping up the lawn.

Even if she don't move, it's just screamin' BAD ASS!!! What a glorious sound! Great job Derek!!!

This is a wonderful story and some truly inspirational flame throwing exhaust tubes. I say: keep going-- the thunder needs to be brought!

WE NEED A KRANG CAM! I wanna see Krang’s expressions like Jim from The Office staring straight into the camera 🎥

11:30 a Canadian mouth breather is yelling fuxx yeah mintttt! Right in the danger zone. Straight in the ketchup

Excited to see the cold snack engineering moving under its own power😍😍

I was relieved it broke. That is the deathmobile. Somebody watching out for you. Absolutely a success as is.

You Better Get Those Machines Up! It Is Fixen To Snow Up There Right Now!

Jeff Goldblum comes to mind when I see this thing, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

The picture of you with eight flaming zoomeys behind your head should have been the thumbnail

"...modulate the throttle to wide open consistently..." pure poetry!

What Canadians won't do for a good time! We lived near the big banked oval track at Waldheim, Saskatchewan, Canada, where the Sno Pro races were held for years. That's exactly the place where this creation could be exhibited in its glory. Every winter my brother and my dad and I would bundle up and head up there. We'd sit in the stands and breathe in the heady smell of av gas and two stroke oil. That's where I was introduced to hot Dr. Pepper. Intermissions always brought out crazy stuff. Motorcycles with studded tires raced each other. Sky divers landed in the infield. Great memories....

Good video that is quite a snow machine I think Carmen will be smiling down at the good job you guys. have done getting it running thanks and take care

You did Mr. Carmen a solid Derek! We know he heard her singin!' Awesome content!

I now know I’ve been watching you too long when I told my boss that the “dustcotaler was full and needs a sssssttt, and and bleep bloop”. It was an awkward moment but really funny in my head.

wow thats a bummer I wanted to see this Beast of a machine rippin and a roaring through the snow.

Your are such a GREAT MAN!!!!!!!GOD Bless and BLESSED YOU Feller I JUST CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!

Ah man. Awesome video Derek!! I wasn’t surprised those plastic gears turned to dust though. Be super cool if someone with the time and money ripped this thing completely apart and brought her back to “new”. What a cool piece of history.

You gotta put the cogs back in it and run it OMG can't quit on it.

My heart broke when I saw the pieces of those drive clogs. I wanted to see it drive so bad. Just bad luck.

Seeing that I'm not to far away from Thomas Sno Sports, it seems a road trip may be in order to hook my peepers on it!

That was fun thanks for your time Lee

You're a good man Derek! Getting that rig back to the family is the right thing to do, AWESOME!

I just love Chris, like when Derek says something, Chris can reply with just a look and you know what it means.

Really would have like to have seen that old girl run across a field.

I think i speak for everyone when I say, this project was gone to soon...

The sludge looks like water glass(sodium sulfate) great head gasket repair lol lol for an old school rebuild. We used it in an old 8n tractor with 14 visible cracks in the block and head. You will find it in the pharmacy. It kept are old tractor running for 15 more years until my grandfather passed away

I can see Derek taking inspiration from this and creating his own snow-monster in future videos.

That thing is as nutty as a squirrel shit. Love it

Dang it... a guy was really hoping to see you drive it.

"We confirmed the tracks are gonna explode immediately, so that's good!" 😜😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She sounds nasty!! You gave it a hell of a shot.. I’d say ya did Carmen proud! Great vid as always

Found Your channel just about a week ago but I have been neglecting my work and family since. I've been pretty much glued to the seat watching almost everyone of Your videos. Your channel is entertaining and just about educating at the same time - is that even possible - probably not! Well anywhoo - Cheers from Finland and keep it up!

That was disappointing that you couldn't go for a blast on it.

"The Snow Warrior" starring mad Derek!

I never knew a guy would give up on a challenge with such a one of a kind item. We all know if anyone can finish this, a guy we all know can.

Dereck and Chris - Almost the Penn and Teller of mechanical fellers.

600 mile whatever and now this video I am an instant subscriber! Looking forward for the next video and of course the great commentary !!!!!!

That view looking back at driver seat when you were getting ready to drive with the exhaust over each shoulder was pretty epic

kind of bummed I really wanted to see this things scoot down the road

I gotta say... that camera shot with you in the seat and the pipes blazing away over your shoulders is mighty badass.

Great work on the engine and sorry the drive gear blew out. Thanks for sharing and thank you buddy for helping out.

I love that you give us a subtitle to inform cylinder 2 is firing now, like we didn't just watch it spit flames coming to life

This video ranks with the best you've done, a lot of fun! I keep on marvelling at how you bring those old engines back to life. That 289 sounds amazing.

The Italian tune up certainly kicked number 2 into life

"A hard left at 107" LOL, where do you come up with this stuff - hilarious.

For some reason, I've always thought it would be great fun to drive a snowmobile UP a ski slope. I don't even know if that's a thing.

That water pump splitting saved your block and heads!

Put me down for the Crang fan club. A guy who can get things done without yappin' bout it.

Real bummer that we couldn't watch you rip that bad boy across the yard.

I was sure hoping I’d see it move, can’t blame ya though, that’s a lot of work it needs yet

Just started watching your videos!! Very entertaining and now a FAN!! Thank you!! From Jersey John

Oh How I WISH we could see him drive this MAGIC MACHINE!!! AHH!!! Why can't There be more of this ??!! AHHH BOO HOOO!!!

Darn it ... I was waiting for you to hit 90eleven MPH and end up in the year 2050

You looked like a warlord on his throne when you sat in that thing with the stacks in back of your ears spittin fire. or should I say "S P I T T I N F I R E".

Maybe they will get the drives fixed and let you feed her all the onions!

Come on Derek, you can get her going, you n your brother should have no problem getting her back running..

I’m always learning something thru your videos. New slang words, spark plug trivia or who knows what! Enjoyed seeing you and your brother work on this one. His play by play commentary is pretty awesome. Wished this one had worked for you guys!

you just can't give up that easy. I have more faith in you.

It breaks my heart that those gears prevented it from running wild... when creative ingenuity and flat out ballsy design gets built out with such love and devotion it's a crying shame to not see it live in it's prime again.

11:27-11:34 That's a ringtone right there. Music of the elders

So that's where the term "you will get this on them bigger jobs" came from🤣. 👌🔥👊

When ol #2 started belchin flames during the Italian tune up,that’s what we call ‘a first sign indicator’ that she’s firin!!!!!!

"Right down the yap" buahaha 😂 Wow, that right there is basically proof that B12 works live action style. You cound literally SEE when that cylinder started to come back. Great job!

A guy has never clicked a notification so fast before.

Going this far then just giving up because of a couple of drive sprockets and sliders is awful. Parking that monster broken as nothing more than a diplay piece is a disservice to the creator. The lengths I've seen you go to to get lesser machines with more problems running quantifies a runing resurrection of this glorious beast! I know if i were closer I'd do the work for free just to see that beast throw some snow roosters... Reach out to the local snowmobiler community and you'll be beating off free labour and help with a stick... :)

Just sending it there at the end was just awesome 👍 What a wild machine!

It's good to see your brother really getting adventurous with the wardrobe.... tan!

thanks for the inspiration your awesome. i just bought my first project truck. its a 1971 w200 power wagon. picked it up yesterday for $260. probly in over my head but i will give it my best shot.

What a gorgeous machine. Would love to see it ripping through the snow!

Darn I was really hoping to see that in action. V8 power and two tracks just wow. Would be awesome to see it moving in the future but also cool that it just runs. 😁

Well, that blows!!! Was hoping a guy could test on her. Well done getting her running.
