Watching you putting in the drive shaft reminded me of when in '63 I was helping my brother put one in his '55 Ford. That day I was doing two a day football practices and was helping out between practices. I dropped the shaft on my forehead and raised a pretty good sized bump. Couldn't put my helmet on and missed the afternoon practice. The things we remember...lol.
Hahaha ah man, that's funny! No kidding, the things we choose to remember! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the story! I can't wait to make some memories of my own.
Matthew Osmond me too!
Rust in the eye once shut me down for days, I highly recommend safety glasses and gloves.. super cheap and extremely helpful.
I was out of commission for a week in '72 because of rust in my eyes. They were cleaned by an eye doctor and I was bandaged and blind for a week.
The dealership I work at now requires safety glasses when working on cars because my buddy sprayed his eyes down with a fuel injector cleaner when the hose busted
I was working on my '69 mustang and got a piece of rust in my ear which sucked
Some body needs to restore this 65 , such an iconic car.
Canadian Pride tf you think they're doing? Starting it up to let it sit longer?
LilRedTeg not sure what they are doing , but it’s theirs to do what they want. I would restore it , but some like the patina.
Car isn't getting painted, it's staying as is, just going to make it mechanically sound
@@Theoldcarchannel. Kinda disappointing, just making it mechanically sound then leaving it? Even like a small internal and external aesthetic restoration would be awesome. I've watched these past 4 videos about 6 times just because its such a good set of of videos
@@reece2321 Thanks for watching and supporting. As for the car we are not leaving it. The car will get further work done to it, I'm just waiting for warmer weather to hit... unfortunately just got a freak 6 inches of snow last night though😡. As for the paint, I dont want to have to worry about it. Nothing worse than having a nicely painted car and getting that first scratch/ dent! I'm going to drive this car, I'm going have lots of fun with it, and don't worry... there will be more videos on it😎
She's in pretty good condition for her age. It's a basic setup with the C4 trans. It's probably a 290 rear with no posi-track so only one tire will spin while it's hanging in the air. It bring back some crazy memories for that thanks👍
Yup, she's pretty clean. Like I said, a quick sand and a bit of paint on the underside would go a long way!
I have a 64 1/2 original edition Mustang Coupe. 260 V8/3 SPD Manual with a generator. My Dad bought it new in July of 64. A great car
Im so jelious!
why guys refuse..or forget to wear protective eye glasses is beyond me..scratched cornea is no joke..and once is one to many..lessons learned the hard way for sure..
I've worn glasses and it doesn't make any difference. And I'm not trying to be ignorant by saying that but the rust still manages to get in the eyes even with glasses on. The only thing I could see that would stop the rust is a full face shield.
Whoa! slow down and pull over! It’s the fun police 👮♀️ you probably wear ear plugs to mow the lawn too hahahah calm down man. They don’t need their mother nagging them. They are out in the garage trying to get away from that
I built blocks like yours to raise the car but I put 4 casters on mine so I could move the car out away from the wall when I work on it and then push it out of the way when I'm done. Works pretty well.
If the car was sitting on a concrete pad I'd definitely use that idea👍
So cool ! As a 66 fastback driver I appreciate getting another fastback back to life ! Rewarding work ! Can't wait for the rest :) and yes disc brakes are a good investment ! Please keep it original for the rest. Greets from Belgium
Wow, thank you for the support!
Thank you for keeping us updated
No problem! Thanks for staying tuned!
People like you are awesome... keeping a classic alive after roughly 50 years of age. Do not restore this car, run it till she won't run no more lol
That's the Plan! Leaving it as is body and paint wise... might be a different story for the drive train in a few months or so😉🙄
Yeah that's cool I seen a bunch of people telling you to restore this car and I'm glad you aren't... it's an awesome survivor and she deserves to keep ticking the way she is
Camera does not justify the actual sound it makes in life! Awesome series
real nice. thanks for sharing
great job getting the stang running and driving… love your channel…. Mike fromFlorida⛓️🔨⛏️🔩🔧⚒️⚙️👏👏
Good job bring it back to life. It still amazes me how well that 289 runs after sitting so long.
And the wheels not turning right away the first time you tried it is pretty common with an automatic. After you fill the transmission it needs to be started up. The transmission will fill the torque convertor basically draining the pan. So adding more fluid is needed to bring it back up to the full mark, so it will operate correctly.
And I second the vote for a manual transmission swap when the C4 craps out.
Good info, thanks. As for the manual swap... you'll have to stay tuned to find out😉
Love the videos on this, it's always nice seeing folks fixing up these old antiques. I don't know why the delays on springtime; it's 23°C down here in Texas *LOL* Just a tip, friend, safety glasses under the car are your friend; rust and dirt does take the fun out of it (been there and done that). Looking forward to seeing more!
Cant wait to see this old girl all finished! Doing good so far haha
I'm cold watching you, much too cold in Canada, Nicks garage there too, he's got heat, God Bless
The best car I ever owned was a 1980 Ford Fairmont, it shared the chassis and engine with the Mustangs of the early '80s, the 200 I-6 was bored .030" over and it's head was shaved .015". I lost it to a brick wall when my brakes went out because I wasn't keeping an eye on the fluid. Love the sound of that 289!
I don't know how drum breaks actually stopped that big beast of a car. Coming on well!
First video I watched out of the hospital this morning. Glad the old girl can move!
Thank you Eric, hope all went well!
classicmustangs429 testing went well, the cost was almost triple what I had been told originally ($2500 instead of $900). Besides sticker shock, I’ll survive.
You may want to look at how low of a VIN # it is because that dash is from a 64 1/2, easy way to notice the differences between the 64 1/2, 65 and the 66 is in the center above the steering wheel the '65, '66 have a hump going toward the steering column and the '64 1/2 is flat across the bottom. I found that out when I was in Pearl Harbor in the early '90s and had a '64 1/2 and a '66 both were notchbacks though. Also on the early dash it shows Gen and the later ones show Alt
A fella that worked at Midas told Me for nearly all transmissions that wouldn't shift right, etc, the usual "fix" was to change fluid and filter then check the adjustment of the bands.
Thats so True thats always drop that peace of shit automatic scrap it and put in a stick shift 5spd transmission instead
Hi guys nice startup oil pressure looking good to 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Gas tanks to the rescue, made a full patch on my 70 El Camino fender by hammer welding it. Iv'e lusted for a mustang for sometime now. Well Git er done!! :)
Hello from Ohio. Not so far from Canada. My wife's family lives just northwest of Toronto. Always enjoy Toronto area visits but so many people now! I am watching your work on the 1965 mustang with interest.
I visit Columbus once a year for the PPG Good Guys national car show. Also drive through Ohio a couple times a year for road trips. That's funny, we have relatives in Dayton Ohio. Where abouts north east of Toronto is your wife's family? Town/city name? Yeah I don't venture to much into the city, traffic is stupid... I try to stay on the outskirts / country side of things! Thanks for the support👍 more videos to come soon!
Well, hello. My wife's family bought a retirement home in a place called Mississauga out by a nice lake. I own a home in Dayton, Ohio and another down in a little city by the Ohio River. Need to get back up there to Canada this summer as wife's brothers and sisters are not getting any younger, eh. Their home out by the lake is gorgeous too. Actually northwest of Toronto too not northeast I guess. So won't have to drive in downtown Toronto traffic to get there thank goodness. @@Theoldcarchannel.
Really great video's of what you guys have done to get the old horse running again. Hope the trans holds up and you can bring her out in the sun. Cheers
Really nice guys! My dream is to be able to buy a 65, i'm following the series from Argentina
Man, I love seeing videos like this. Someday, I want to get out of my apartment and into a home with a garage so I can do the same.
Thank you, I hope you peruse your dreams soon!
Wow. What a video. I was feeling so sorry for all of your hard work when it didn’t move on the first try. Great to see that rear wheel move. Keep up the great work 🙂
That engine has some blow-by. I have a 68 cougar with a worn 302, It had blow-by like that. I used a can of that engine restore and I have no more blow-by. Usually I don't believe in those snake oil products, but this one seems to have helped. Just a suggestion if you wanted to keep that engine going for a few more years.
Noted! Will give it a try👍
Hard enough to get an old car moving. But in a Canadian winter even harder. Congrats!!👍
I agree this needs to be restored back to factory original. In Elmira NY at 654 Sullivan Street sits an abandoned 1991 Ford mustang the owner is in the military. It hadn't run in over a year and a half. The motor is seized up. The owner tried to remove the rear drive axle to unseize the motor thereby breaking the rear drive axle. My hope is someone will locate the owner buy it and fix it up before it rots away and becomes scrap iron. That would be a shame they are highly sought after muscle cars. To let it sit and rot away would be wrong. Fan of restoring old vehicles Robert Gildea
Awesome! My 65 coupe sounds exactly like yours. Had me worried as it almost sounds like a knock. But must be normal sound for no exhaust plumbing.
Wow it amazes me how much knowledge you have about fixing cars! Now sport cars are embarrassingly quite, but these vintage cars screamed! Modern cars are hampered by fuel emissions, safety regulations, and cheap plastic parts and to see you put this much time and effort to bring back some of the dim and distant past is nothing short of spectacular 😃And your editing skills are fantastic, I can’t wait for this car to hit the road hopefully sometime soon🙏🙏🙏
Keep it up buddy the views you’ve been getting demonstrate our appreciation and support! 👍
Thank you Spencer, really appreciate this awesome comment! You are correct about new cars... I feel as if they have no souls (aside from a few). They just seem to be things to take you from point A to point B. Now same could be said for cars that were new in the 60s but at least they had style and personality. It's a shame the way things are going and I think its only going to get worse for us classic folks. In saying that, I'll be doing whatever I can to keep these classics going. Come spring time (few more weeks) I'll start bringing the cars out! Should be a good time!
Thanks again for the nice comment👍
classicmustangs429 I absolutely agree! Cars from the 50s and 60s were art-inspired, and built and designed to be out of this world as they were beautiful and reliable. Thanks again for the thoughtful reply ;-)
Much support and respect from Montreal! ✊👍 (I also can’t wait for warmer weather to arrive!)
Good stuff, mighty job you too are doing.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
that diff needs some love.
great job guys, i wish i had a legend like this mustang in my garage too to work on. keep up the good job and get this bad boy on the road!
Thank you, she'll be on the road in no time! Just waiting for the snow to melt and the salt to wash away lol
damn what a great sound that motor .
5.1 dd surround at the max .
my wife was shitting herself when i put it on the speakers ha ha ha ha ha ha.
great job and i cant wait when you are going to put episode 5 online.
( rick the Netherlands.)
HAHAHA love it! New videos will be coming out shortly👍 in the midst of working on her and editing👌
Thanks, always fun and interesting to watch. Like #79.
congrats guys , all the best 👍
Thank you Mike,,, nice job and great video Best M
No problem, thanks for the support👍
DAMN THOES DIRT DAUBERS!!
Also change wiper blades.ha ha. Seriously, looking forward to what you do to this.
Haha yeah along with the other long list of parts lol
Unreal. You guys. Great. To see. Older stands. Restored the. Right way. All the. Best from. Austiraila. Ray,,
... also the music choosen is first class.
Be nice when the warm weather rolls into SW Ontario !!
Amen to That, today is pretty decent. Had the heat on in the car with the windows rolled down, felt good
I'm not even a car guy, but anytime I do get under a vehicle, I'm wearing safety glasses. Rust in the eye can get serious. Happened to me several times.
I love the engine noise.
Good to see it move I hope you fix it up
Don't forget the lock washers for the U-bolts
You should have brake torqued it a little bit so that the converter will fill up Let it idle it will fill the converter up and then you can add more fluid
That is one mean sounding 289!!!!
the car deserves all the jobs continue 👍👍👍...
I've just started watching you're videos starting this mustang thing and I find ti really interesting. Thank you for these videos you are amazing!!!
Best wishes From Sri Lanka. Hope you will have a better weather like us for the 5th video.
Thanks for the support! 5th video will be coming out in a few weeks, stay tuned😎
Nice job
Had a 66 back in the day that looked just like this.
Makes my mouth water!
Can’t wait for more of this build
Great vid, you also have some orbs in your vid as well😁
Great video
hi there those blocks you made for getting the car higher you should make them 1 or 2 higher it will really help that's what I did and it gives you like 3-4 inches of workspace under the car
Nice! You now have a driving restoration. : )
No restoration, just a driver👍
Enjoyed ep 4
This is the longest revival ever.
This is more of an average timeline. All the other channels rush the work to please the masses.
Great, love it big time
Nice men
Awesome bro!
Their mud dobbers my yard is full of them in the summer.
awesome content boys! keep up the good work. thoroughly enjoyed all the videos you've made on this mustang. very very enjoyable
Nice.
Hello from France, I love old school cars, and your work is awesome ! I'm actually waiting for the part 5. +1 subscriber +1 like
Thanks for the support, awesome to see people over seas tuning in! Part 5 will be in a few weeks.👍
You bout killed me with the trans idea
😂😂😂
You could save yourself some time and energy if you'd just sell me the car.
Honestly my favorite car of all time. I have wanted a fastback first gen mustang since I was 5 years old.
@Storm Spirit Where are you located?
JK user name checks out
Fan from india....😀
Just seen your channel loving the vids all the way from uk amzing skills you to have
New to the channel. That is a solid car! Love the channel so far!
Awesome! Keep up the good work, love the videos.
Spring is only 14 days away! Yea!
YAHOOOOOO! Can't wait for summer!
When trying to figure out what an older jaloppy needs always look at whats in the trunk or what in the boxes or containers that come with that particular car then look at what you got from there, you'll know exactly what you will most likely need to fix. The less you see in a trunk the better. LOL
You must watch alot of vice grip garage 😜
Still love it - cant wait 😎👍
Thank you, spring is approaching quickly so more videos to come soon
I just have to share with you guys that i got myself a 2015 Mustang GT manual with a complete adjustable suspension (aftermarket) and tweaked to 460 hp. I know that in Canada and US it’s nothing special. But i live in Denmark and here the Mustang is more rare than Porsche’s and Ferrari’s.
I am absolutely in love with my car and every little trip takes me to grand Canyon, New York, Quebec and so on......
This car is so unfiltred and true to a genuine driving experience.
You guys are so fortunate having access to old fastback’s like the one you guys are working on now....
Keep up this great channel a the good vibes ✌️😎
How cold is it still cold up there jeez.
19° F today... slowly starting to warm up now but still chilly
Another great video the old girls sounds great love your videos keep them coming Ford all the way
Thank you for the support! More to come🤘
Trand fluid is probably still not at the right level. Gotta check level while the car is level. Having the back up on jack stands is throwing off your measurement
The front is on the wheel blocks, rear is only an inch higher
@@Theoldcarchannel. Leave it low on the stick. Check and top off after your test drive. If you even want it perfectly full. If it's right on full when cold it will be overfull when hot. Overfull C4's will leak.
This will sound ridiculous as it did to me when I first heard about it from my 15 year old nephew. He was putting his grandfathers old 1978 f150 back on the road after 25 years of sitting and it had similar transmissions problems to your mustang. They (him and his father) decided to remove as much old trans fluid as possible and refill the trans with new fluid (also cleaned trans pan screen/filter replaced) After running it through the gears for 30 seconds each with their foot on the brake and no acceleration, it worked. It's now running just great. I really thought it wouldn't have worked but it did.
@@OnlyMyOpinionWhat was nice about Fords back then was that they had drain plugs on the torque converter. You could do a full fluid change if you wanted. For this Mustang you would drop the pan and pull the drain plug on the converter. Once back together get ready with about 8 quarts.
Cool Videos. Greetings from germany. 😎😎
Nice man keep up the great work thanks for the content
cant wait to see it drive i would like to see that fairlane better to hint hint next project i hope
Will have to wait and see I guess 😉
3:06 omggggggggggggggggggg junck yard digs like nord
The type of metal the shaft is made of temping and all that stuff
Hi mi broo me encanta este canal y más si es de restauración del mustang ya quiero verlo andar 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Need to use Type F trans fluid in an old ford.
I know his transmission is going to blow up using atf!
raise above machine
Was that shag carpet I saw ?....GROOVY !
YOU KNOW IT! Haha
🕺🕺🏽🕺🏿
Nice..
An old man taught me it doesnt take long to put on eye pro gotta keep ya eyes safe
Finally a new update, keep up the good works guys! I can’t wait to see this channel grow!
Yeah had a few problems width he daily so the mustang got put on hold for 2 weeks. Hoping for regular updates from now on👍 thanks for the support!
classicmustangs429 sounds good man can’t wait! If you guys are out in northern Ontario, my uncle and his pals have quite the collection of mustangs, model A’s, mopars and plenty of other classics
@@ehmoto2684 where abouts in northern Ontario?
Put a 4 speed in it bro, it deserves it :D
Handsome guy.
No driving? No revs? Man I wanna hear this thing so bad!
Cant remember does that year have the posi rear end or locked diff? I would do the disc brake conversion on the rear end like you said. Love these cars. If ever I get a chance to buy one I would do it.
They came with open diffs, limited slip was an option
Jeeeeeesshh looooks like it's beeen bbelly up inn mud for years.. You. Bbetteer. Inspect thos rear sub frames. They're notorious. Foor. Colllapsing fromrust
