- This ford is going to be receiving all the nifty parts off my daily driver 66 LTD, which is quite a bit rusty. Before I swap everything in, let's see how it runs. Video consists of engine work, then replacing all the suspension and brakes with the pre-refurbished parts from my 66 LTD.

We need more like him.
He has the same gumpshun as that Traplines and Inlines kid here on yt. He's building his 2nd cabin, all by himself.
I'd find it rare for a Gen Z kid, someone in my generation like him to be working on classic cars all by himself. Yet almost everyone else that I've met that is his age are all getting brainwashed by social media, anime cartoons, too many video games, and are not even dedicated to their own careers.
I love the way he produces his videos! All work and no talking!
This kid is so classic 70’s right down to the Meat Loaf T-shirt
And the side burns
Nothing wrong with that. Compared to the kids today who are afraid to get their hands dirty.
Meatloaf, now I’m hungry for meatloaf.
I bet he even knows who Meat Loaf is.
somebody get them some bellbottoms and a record player for the garage, 8-track for the car!
The first person so far, which I saw on youtube , to clean vehicle first ,and than proceed with mechanical work, that is as it should be, well done young man !
In 1965 I drove a used 1960 Ford Falcon to Pittsburgh from Fort Monmouth NJ each week for a year until it gave up the ghost on route 22 on Allegheny Summit, a cold snowy night. Always used 20 cents a quart bulk oil in that ol column shift screamer. Loved that car. Had to finally ascend Allegheny Summit in reverse because the old gal couldn’t pull it in first. The life of a young 18 year old soldier.
Ooooooooooo!!
I want a '65 Galaxie 500!!!!....
I worked on one 4yrs ago....fell in love with it😍
It had Torque Thrust's & Cooper white‐letter tires...
Well, Now I'm addicted to watching your video...keep restoring those treasures they're real gems 💎 🤜🏾🤛🏽
This kid is like a time traveler from about 1972
I started with some of the truck revivals. Love watching you work. Thanks for what you do Simon!
Thanks for watching!
You remind me of me in the 1975. I was 25 years old and always working on my 65 Ford mustang. But you are a lot better mechanic!
You know I'm going to give you a great compliment because you deserve it I'm in my forties and growing up I worked around gearheads all my cousins were all gearheads working on old cars muscle cars and racing and drag racing and all that stuff but your skill level and your dedication man it reminds me so much of them keep it up brother you're a young a young guy that has passion and dedication and your channel is awesome I've seen every one of your videos keep up the great work brother
Hey thank you! That’s really cool
Just seen your Channel & subscribed, you make a good Video with no music = perfect. Playing catch-up now to see how you got on, good luck from UK 👍
Enjoy watching bud and great mechanic skills. Keep up the video’s and great work…
I've been watching this guy for a few weeks now. He tinkers well,fabricates well,like a gen xer. I'm impressed 👏 and I'll keep watching the c10 episode. It was great. The motorcycle episode was too.
😊
Big Congratulations Man…! Great work!
Spetacular, Mr. Thank you for share knowledge. 👏👏👏👏
I like your no commentary videos. Yay!
My Dad bought one of these while we lived in the States for a year or so in '68.
It was a 2-door like yours, running the base six-cylinder engine on a 3-speed auto.
Tidy car.
It'd be worth a mint today in that condition,,,
This is a great channel.
This will make the suspension more comfortable riding
Recently came across your channel, love the content! Cool to see a fellow Minnesotan on here!
On 65, the Galaxy was a departure from the nicer Fords of 63 and 64. Especially the 63 convertible. The real trend setter in 65 was the Chevy Impala 2 door. A lot of guys in my outfit bought the yellow with the black interior. Beautiful car.
Bringing back to ASE days, they were easy back then, no computers back yard or garage if you had one I have faith it will run
CAR GLORY.
This is becoming a great chanel
very sharp. i like the gold color
Cool ! Love my Galaxies . I've had 6 of them and always looking another.
Love the work..
Spohn performance has rear suspension arms and whatnot. Adjustable too
First time watching one of your videos and just subscribed. Talk man, talk! Hope your channel grows.
Thanks! Appreciate it. I’m gonna try out the no commentary style for a bit, but down the round I may change it up.
Dig seeing young guys saving old stuff. Subscribed to help out. Personally I like watching instead of listening. But that’s me.
@@garynoubarian5540 I was beginning to think kids-well, in his case let me restate that; young men-like him were almost extinct. I'm impressed! He's a natural w/mad skillz. This vid brought back some fond and not so fond memories of myself when I got my first car, a 1968 Mustang w/289 and auto way back in 1974. Except, I went thru three transmissions in 2 years (unlike The Kid here, I was a very slow learner)
@@SimonFordman no need to talk. it's good like this
1976 granada front discs serve as a good upgrade kit if anyone is wondering. Napa and whatnot have a lot of those granada parts. Even the brake hoses and lines are very similar
I have watched a few of your videos now and I really liked them all 🙂. It's just something that works very well with your content. Keep up the good work!
I am filming my own process fixing up a car, but I have not had the currage to believe that watching me work over time can be that entertaining 😅. Usually when editing, I cut more and more away and the end result is more like a long "Shorts" episode in 16:9 format instead of 9/16. (just learned that if writing 9:16, it refers to that point in the episode 😛)
Thanks for the support. The hardest part about the process is getting past my own criticisms.
Those ranger wheels look pretty cool on there.
I just read you have a daily 66 Ltd. My first car was a 66 Ltd and the first car I ever got with my own money was another one.
Woah! This is awesome. You changed the rear axle on the garage floor all by yourself?! This encourages me, maybe I could do this too? Probably not.
Still, I would have liked to see more of this sway bar. Can I fix this to my Lincoln Mark IV as well? It sure would do her good.
Great,,🤘👍
I kind of like the explorer/ranger wheels on this car... It sort of fits the look of the headlights and grill a bit
Mais galaxie, o melhor da Ford.
Sticky couch adjustable at this round
Note to self. Should have taken the T-Bird. 😅 Sorry Simon. I missed something. The donor car looks in better nick!?
❤
such a sick channel!
❤️🤗💯👍
Kinda knew that
I may be wrong but looked like a big piece of frame rot hole
I love your videos, but why are you taking parts out of a rusty car (66LTD) and putting them in a rustier car(Custom)? Are you getting better parts for the 66 LTD?
The LTD was a lot rustier, I never really made that clear. It was a vinyl top car and would've needed the whole roof replaced and more, that's why I parted it out into the Custom.
@@SimonFordman oh nice! Thanks for the reply!
Why are you parting out the other car? It seems to look better than the project car.
I see the car's frame is in really bad shape in the back of the car can you get parts to fix it?
Você não mostrou oque fez quando retirou os eixos é também não trocou o óleo de motor nem os filtros, nem as velas.
Sound motor
Is Meatloaf still alive?
Вроде нет
You went through many Stop signs and didn''t stop? You looking for a ticket?
I thought all American cars had automatic transmissions. .....European
Simon is a total babe 😁
