Hitting a million on tour? So perfect! Much deserved, you guys! Now to push the Mook channel over the top!!

Over 90 minutes of Mook magic? Yes please ❤

Mook you are a great mechanic and very entertaining. We need more Mook videos.

The Return trip has a lot of places I am used to. I have traveled most of that route from Southwestern Virginia to Central Illinois to visit some family members who live in Ill. It was so cool to see those places.

I've watched over a dozen Power Tour vids and this is easily my favorite. No panic about getting where you are going and just having fun and enjoying the journey.

This was my first Power Tour. It was pretty awesome, but like you, once over, i couldn't get home soon enough. Also, it was great to meet you Mook! (I talked to you at Columbia SC, about booger truck). Hopefully, you're next to a million!

Thanks for bringing us along on your guys Hot rod power tour Road Trip Mook and Kevin @Junkyard Mook @Junkyard Digs

Mook...we have two granddaughters, 9 and 14. I have been sharing your videos with them for a couple years now. The 14 yr old can hold her own hanging in the shop with us and the 9 yr old is coming along nicely. I appreciate that you do these videos, and I know I am not the only "Poppa" or Dad out there who sees what you do as a way to teach or girls about cars, and prove to them that anyone can do this stuff if they want to put in the time and effort to learn and get after it. Thank you.

Mook needs to make a comeback

the finger running and jumping was a moment of childhood returned, thank you that had me laughing n I ain't stopped smiling since 👌

The Cutlass seemed to start right up every time...that's a plus

Lol at the GTO called the Grudge 😂 love it

That was awesome, tks for taking us along. Also nice to see Ike in there too, he worked hard on that wagon. Nice to see y'all have fun with minimal issues.

Wow that was probably one of the best barn finds you found so glad you guys are taking it a old friend turned me on to the Cutlasses. He owned several 442 my favorite was his rally sport 350 he completely restored

I love these 'get away' vids with you guys, been a long time. Thanks for taking us along and giving us a good glimpse. The car did well, considering the roads, the miles etc. Take care you two, hope to see more vids on here too, Mook. M'kay

I am so proud to watch, you remind me of so many women 9n my hometown who are so strong and do everything too.

What makes MOOK SUPER COOL? Her shining personality and she WORKS ON CARS!!! Kevin you hit the lottery with MOOK!!!!! You two are AWESOME! ❤

0:00 Mook got what looks to be sort of a shepherd staff for her flock of kitties! I absolutely love 70-72 Cutlasses and 442s, so I am a bit jealous and want another one so bad! What a great Power Tour Vlog! I am glad you posted it in its total length, I am sure in order to keep from having to edit and post every night, it gives you all more time to enjoy the time with friends. Congrats to the Cutlass making making the trip! Note: never let your friend volunteer to change your bad starter, removing the heat shield that goes between the Big block 455 and starter saying it is unnecessary junk. Its an inexpensive piece of heat shield whose removal caused a very expensive starter delivery and replacement on my 442.

Thanks for this road trip Mook! I know it must have been a hard one to edit. Loved every minute of it! That '72 Cutlass is beautiful, not usually one for gold cars, but it just looks damn great. 😎 Would be great seeing it getting cleaned and tidied.

Congratulations Kevin on the 1 million Subs @Junkyard Digs and @Junkyard Mook

Bah! So jealous, I'll have to join you guys next year. Also, nice shirt Kevin

Thanks, Kevin, for serving. Take advantage of every benefit offered to you. That's how we the people say thanks. And nice to see a new Mook video. Great work on Power Tour!

Congratulations on the Cutlass making 3,000 mi - 17 😉 it look like you guys had a blast and I really enjoyed your version of power tour. Keep up the great work and the awesome videos 👍✌️🇺🇲

Been watching junkyard digs for quite some time now. I’m fairly new to your channel but I absolutely love everything about your personality and how you always seem to be so happy and find a way to make every situation fun no matter how bad or difficult it may be!!!! Just the fact that you are so passionate about everything you do is amazing. You are such an amazing human being. ❤ I will be a fan of you and Kevin until RU-vid decides it’s offensive to work on cars. 😅

Congratulations Kevin on the 1milli

Great vid as usual. It was nice meeting you, Kevin and the rest of the gang on HRPT23. Everyone was as nice in person as in their videos. You and Kevin were awesome! Thanks for the shout out of my buddy Dustin's 70 GTO (The Grudge) and thanks for signing my club shirt. See y'all next year on HRPT24!👍🏁

Your Cutlass Mook. and Isaac's wagon are the best there

You two make a great team and couple. 👍

Love the Cutlass.. nothing beats the A-body GMs.

1:26:00 after having recently done my suspension, I didn't torque down the brake caliper bolts and they slowly walked their way out until it started rattling, so I torqued it down and everything was peachy. Point of the comment, it's nice to see that even people who spend a lot of time working on cars sometimes overlook these things and it wasn't just me.

Question Mook, my sister started working as a mechanic and gets offended when men but especially women say “nice to see a women doing this job” but I think it’s just a real observation as it’s less common, have or do you get offended by people saying that?

Saw that you already got the front shocks replaced but it you find yourself replacing others like it in the future, take this for what it is worth. Yes, the center stud always spins when trying to remove the top nut. What I always did was get the appropriate sized socket (1/2 inch I believe it was) and the longest extension in my tool box. Then, I would put the socket on the nut and use the extension for leverage to snap the stud off (grab the extension at the top, and push and pull towards the front of the car and back rapidly). Usually, after a few seconds of doing it, the stud would heat up enough to reach its fatigue point and just snap off. Just a trick an old GM tech taught me when I was starting out in the 80's.

When can we expect the burnt Nova and Junkyard Mook to return?

WE LOVE YOU MOOK, WE NEED JUNKYARD MOOK VIDEOS

Great trip! Thanks for taking us along. Well done on the Million subscribers to both of ya!

keep em commin mook , cant wait to see what those heads go on, congrats to you guys and the cutlass for finishing the trip with minimal problems

MORE MOOK! PLEASE!

Seeing Noise Complaint get stuck in the sand was like the cherry on top of this entire video

THE TIMELAPSE THO 😂 I Think that needs to become a regular segment in the Junkyard channel episodes

Always a good day when mook or kevin posts 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Very cool. Few years ago I flew out to San Diego Ca from Hartford Ct to pick up a 1974 Firebird Formula I purchased online. While I was waiting in the hotel that weekend to go to the DMV on Monday for a temp plate to drive it back. I saw a 1972 Buick Skylark 2rd, gold with black vinyl top for sale in the classifieds of the San Diego news paper. I got in my rental car and drove to El Cajon Ca and bought that as well. Returned the rental car. Coordinated with a trucking company, they picked up the Firebird, trucked it cross country. I went to a tire shop. had the oil changed and put on 4 new tires. Drove the Buick back from San diego Ca to Woodsville NH. Took me 3 days. Firebird arrived a week later. Cool trip. Lots of fun.

Chipmunk Mook eating a cinnamon roll is completely adorable! Thanks for the smiles!

@JunkyardDigs deserves 1 million subscribers for a lot of hard work and down to earth fascinating content

Love the Cutlass and really enjoyed meeting you guys. Hope to see you again.

A tip for removing shocks - Use the appropriate socket on top bolt, use a long extension and go through wheel well into engine bay. Use socket and extension to lever the top of the rod back and forth and it will break off. Much easier that fighting the rusty hardware.

Stands way higher with new coil springs and Shocks Very nice @Junkyard Mook

Congrats on the 1M,Kevin!

Makes me want to go on power tour next year, looked like a great time!

Hour and a half of the Mook! Yes please.

My suspicions of Mook being a chipmunk have been confirmed by the way she ate that cinnamon roll. Eeeeeee!! :DD

Mook I am so glad you got the CUTLASS!!!!!!! That is one of my PENULTIMATE CARS!!!!!!! The paint looks so good! I also love the COLORS.....you do not see that combo on the road!!!!!!

Notification SQUAD Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

Feature Length Mook Madness! Plus, I love the Cutlass, even though I have no idea why...not like we see a lot of them in the UK 😅

Congratulations to Kevin for the subscriber milestone

I loved that Tom's Refurb was there and was the only one to get stuck 😂

This was a fun video i know anytime there is a new Mook video it will definitely be fun. I feel like i was there since you documented the trip. The Cutlass did really good with no major issues other then some minor stuff.

Always enjoyable to see a video with the Team Work ! MOOK & Kevin ! Nice Road Trip ! Looks like a nice event & CARS ! Olds neat cars ! Opening, Cats Funny ! Under body rust needed Fleetguard Rust Inhibitor Good Ole Fort Bragg !!!!!! The Original first REAL ! Name !!!!!

Hell yeah it'll survive the 2,900 miles. It's a old Cutlass. My first car was a 70 Supreme. Car was reliable as hell and I wish I'd hung on to it. Good cruising on the tour and stay safe.

Being Illinois born and an alumnus of NIU, seeing that DeKalb sign gave me all the midwestern homesick feels and squee out loud. Thanks for that little slice of home! Heckin' great vid!

Great video as usual Mook. This Cutlass is definitely a survivor and a beautiful car.

That stripes reference was fantastic to hear lol

Why is her smile so contagious.

Some awesome shenanigans on this year's hotrod power tour Nice Mook and Kevin @Junkyard Mook @Junkyard Digs

It isn't often I get jealous, but here we are and I miss my Olds. I think it's almost time to get another one, and you definitely didn't help my wait lol.

Let’s go mook

Makes me miss the 73' I use to have. Fun watch.

Mook! We need you! You are the salt of the earth!

hi! great video!,nicely put together for a long haul trip.. congrats on another successful finish,you guys rock! ..phil in lacrosse

That is a seriously beautiful car! Great colors.

Mook saying "have that removed!" hilarious 😂

Make some more videos

Thank you both for a brilliantly entertaining video! I was only thinking a few days ago, ‘I need more Mook in my life’, and here you are. 👍I’ve missed your slightly zany style and humour, but this more than made up for it.

Call her “Power Tour Mook” in da books!

I can't watch this tonight because I have work tomorrow morning, but the first 3 seconds of cat wrangling has convinced me I need to make time tomorrow to watch.

That a really nice car and I think personally that you should drop those points and condenser and put a pertronix 2 or 3 and that would make a huge difference. I did this conversion on mine and it starts and runs a 100% better.

Those piston rods in the shocks make good punches. Grind the ends to whatever size, shape you need and they're free from worn out shocks.

Brit here. While I know that 50 miles/1 hour is a long way for us, and 200 miles/4 hours is completely normal for you strange Americans, I did once do 1000 miles across most of Europe (West to East and 6 countries). I had a co-pilot and getting there was fine, but he got drunk at the wedding and it was left to me to drive the 1000 miles home. It nearly killed me. Kudos to truck drivers who do it regularly. I never want to drive more than 250 miles ever again. I just love your Cutlass. I've only been to the States four times, and most of that was between 1982 and 1999, so I love those old American cars, cos that is what I know.

When making gaskets a spent shell casing from a freedom seed works greak to cut the bolt holes and come in many fun calibers

That would be more fun with a 4 barrel carb. Just saying. Great video!

That was an amazing trip. I was telling my husband about your journey and he said “isn’t the like Mini Takes the States”? I informed him that this was a tour for REAL CARS, not clown cars 🙄 He now is aware that Minis are not real cars 🤣 Thanks for sharing your epic trip❤️

You did an excellent job at saving all your video with the voice over. Those are memories that will last a lifetime. I`m glad you guys are having a good summer.

Good stuff. Mook is always a SMILE waiting to happen.

That cutlass deserves a 4 barrel intake and a real carburetor

Such a sweet and loyal old cutlass.

Hey! I know that Slo-pra! Great video! A trick I learned from an old mechanic for doing GM front shocks: Put a 9/16ths deep well socket with the longest extension you can muster on the top nut. Rock the extension front and back until the nut and the top of the shock shaft shear off. Then shock is off. Don't care about keeping the shock intact as it gets tossed into the trash.

So proud of the mook and Kevin channels,1,000,000 is amazing dude so happy for you guys.thanks John from Arizona

Let's get Mook to a Million!!!!

Looks like there is rain coming hurry get the corn in Kevin and Mook awesome hotrod powertour 2023 video @Junkyard Mook @Junkyard Digs

When are you going to be putting out more content Mook? I enjoy watching Junkyard Digs but on your channel or Digs, you’re my favorite part. You are so freaking funny and you teach me stuff about vehicles, that I can then pretend I didn’t watch on my RU-vid while we watch it on his and know what I’m talking about and throw him through a loop(make him think I know more than I do). Please come back!!!

Mooks narrative voice is awesome!!

This era of Oldsmobile cars was truly the golden era of the brand.

I discovered your channel then observed a couple vids later the familiar exits to Iowa State which is where my son attends. This video you featured a gorgeous shot of downtown Peoria IL which is where we live. Congratulations on your channel's accomplishments and on your pending nuptials.

Congrats on the million subs Kevin and Mook, well deserved. 🍻 Still watching the show, can't imagine what it's like to do a trip like this with friends/family. Thanks for sharing and safe travels as always!

Congrats on 1 mil, well deserved!!!!!!!

Mook is coming into her own with 1/4 of a mil. I like the approach of bypassing traffic off the interstate. Im shocked at the traffic in the Carolinas. It was bad 20 years ago. Impassible now.

Man, Mook you have got to upload more, it's so good! I know y'all have jyd and your job but you will absolutely make a killing on your channel. You're funny, a good mechanic, comfortable in front of the camera, and very pretty(we're car guys, we notice).You're great, we need more Mook. Doesn't matter if it's your current rides or if you do a Mook revival, we're here for it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are my favorite automotive RU-vidr. Lets go! Start feeding the algorithm.

This was incredible! Thank You! Congrats to Kevin as well for the 1Million!
