One has to love the old mechanical systems. And a Dad that teaches his children by example.
Well said!
Thanks for all the kid friendly content. Excellent video. Glad to see a deserving Dad getting recognition for his hard work. Who ever it was that convinced you to be a content creator needs a huge thank you from all of us! Nothing more satisfying than getting an old vehicle back on the road.
These must be his 2 daughters and he also has a son I take it? I'm new to this channel but I love it when families work with their kids.
Love the old shoebox fords. Thanks for the video.
Great dad who obviously loves his kids!!
Great job Garth! Keep it up!
You look good sitting in that old shoebox! Super quiet engine. Really love how you get your girls involved. Not only is it educational for them, but it's memories they will carry with them the rest of their lives!
Way to dad!
Not one complaint or huff and puff from her while working. True gem. Buying my 1st 49" this week. Thanks for the video
loving the content, and appreciating the family friendly language.
Man, you're teaching that kid a lifetime of skills. I don't care if it's a boy or girl.
That car is gorgeous brother. The little ladies helping her daddy is so cute. My was saying that is so sweet that she is wanting to be with her daddy working on cars instead of playing with dolls. That is so cool brother. She's a sweetie. I love the white walls on that one. Looks good with the wheels on her.
Really loving your content dude! Keep it up! A big inspiration and a great father showing your girls around the work! Much Love from Australia!
Great job and video! Love it when your little one is there with you helping
Looks like a job for Derek. Our little daughter watched me changing points and carbs, and doing home handyman stuff. As an adult, recently she removed and installed a new microwave oven, shower valve cartridge, and setup a chicken coop among other DIY projects. She used to advise boyfriends troubleshooting and fixing their car problems as a high schooler.
Another great video!! Now, not to be too picky but, we need to see the 3rd member of your team every few videos....just to make sure she's ok!!
I'm trying! Between her work schedule and wrangling my grandbaby, it's a challenge! 😊
The Shoebox is super cool, not so many out there, so why I like it.
Love seeing you pass your knowledge to the kids, and the awesome cars your saving. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for another great video! Wonderful to see the kids helping dad! Great learning experience!
You're lucky your young one likes hanging around with you and cars. Give her the iroc. Do a small fix with her on it once a month and let it be a ten-year project. This is the time when kids develop learning at a fast rate and every year she will understand more complex things. Picture her driving to school when she gets her license in a Camaro she helped restore. She'll be respected and envied by all the students and teachers and have great self-confidence while others are dealing with teenage anxiety.
That is a beautiful car. I used to not like 50s cars, but lately they've been growing on me.
You are a GOOD dad for getting your youngest daughter to help change spark plugs. Most young ones do not have any idea what a spark plug is or does. It looks like you have a little gear head on your hands. Keep up the excellent projects and getting both of your daughters involved.
It's pretty good sounding old car. Great video
Man i just Luv your videos. I Luv Luv Luv how you have your little Ladies involved in everything. It’s amazing to see how much your tiny human wants to be involved. There’s two little ladies who will not be out Rob in a little old ladies. They will grow up respecting everything they get by working for it just like their father. I have twin girls, who just loved being with me all the time. I’ve been a truck driver all my life and they just love coming along with me. Keep up the good work young man. You are raising two very respectable young ladies. Keep the video is coming I love looking at them.
Appreciate it! Hoping to have the grand daughter in the garage with us next!
**I meant to say… There is two little girls who will NOT be out robbing little old ladies.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage that’s awesome brother. You are a great person. The world is a lot better place with you in it. I truly believe that. We need more Garth’s in this crazy world. Keep up the amazing work Mr. Thanks again for sharing.
I just shared your videos with my twins and they are going to subscribe and start enjoying your videos.
That's a nice looking old shoe-box. The first vehicle I ever drove was my dad's old '73 Ford van, it had a 302, 3 on the tree, then he got a '78 Ford truck with a 302 3 on the tree, I think I drove that truck more than him.
Great content Garth! You have the best helper too!
What a gorgeous car, I love the body style.
I don’t know how I missed this. And, this was the one I wanted to see next!
The flathead sounds strong-well done!
Love the sound of a flathead, beautiful car.And great channel.

Ur little girl is beautiful dude! Love that she is so willing to help and right by ur side.
I love that Ole 50ford it sounds good u done a good job getting it going
It's just like WOW!!
It's in such good condition for something that is 70 years old.
If that was here in the UK, it would be a rusty pile of junk by now.
So yea really cool ride man hope it works out for you.
Stay safe people. See y next time round. 😉
Nice project!
First time watching you. Good work,love your set up and including the family..Great car
Thank you!
The two old flathead Ford v8s that I had never stopped smoking. That was back in the sixties
Awesome Job!!!
One sweet ole car nice job
Love the Muppet tattoo, Nothing better than Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem...
My dad had a 50 like this one solid black 2 door Flatheaf V8. I was 8 then cool old car. His buddy from work had a blue one with a souped up Merc engine in it. This was 1964.
Car sounds so quiet love the video content I'm a fan

Tool fund, for the, “Little One.”
Thanks so much!
Riley has saltier boots than most CZcamsrs, haha!
Glad to see another sweet little classic being saved.
Looks like just a few little things and it'll be a nice runner that could be great as is or go to the next level.
Your doing good keep it up ..
Mad ginger garage just resurrected one of those (another new channel great guy) but his is rusted out bad and he doesn't know anything about them. So he could really use some advice and maybe a line on parts.(I don't know if you're the type to help others) but if you are maybe check out his channel.
👍
What are the ultimate goals for the 50? I'd love to see more.
That part is up to my friend that owns it.
I own a 1950 Ford Custom food or Flathead 6 all original Brown coloring has a little bit of rust on it also came with the original bumper Jack on it she runs to this very day😊
The Flathead V8 have an issue with the push rod going to the fuel pump at the rear off the intake coming from the crank wearing down slightly and cutting off the fuel supply from the gas tank. A thin metal shim over the tip of the push rod and reconnect the fuel pump.
The 1953 I paid $130 and the 1951 "shoebox " cost $10. I had to replace one rear axle (cost$10) to get it to drive
good dad showing the daughter how things work. She needs a pony tail to keep her hair out of the yech and grease.
Two things that were born in the 50s and are still going, this “shoebox” and me. Although, I think the Ford is doing better than me, lol.
Definitely a cool car!!
Thanks!!
Pull those plugs, pop it in a neutral and I'll spin by the fan, as long as the belts are tight that is
My first car was a 50 coup with a flathead V8.
My first car was a 50 ford deluxe V8 with overdrive.
2nd hehe .. Great vid. Just as good as the last . Keep saving these awesome vehicles.
nice car man 🙂
Run a Lucas fuel ⛽️ clean in her. love these Fords .
You should open an Instagram account too. It should help with more exposure. Again, love your vids lol. I like the I-roc. If only it was a manual, I'd love it then 😅
We have an Instagram as well, but haven't been too active on it.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage oh ok. I went to your about page and didn't see a link so automatically thought you didn't. I'll search you up. Also, love the fact you're in Texas. I'm from the south, like deep south Texas lol. Keep up the good work and hope you can get more projects to make more content. Sometimes we think cars are too far gone to be saved. But its ppl like you that gives some cars a new chance of living, and gives us the knowledge and inspire us to do as well. Im barely, finally understanding, that I love the car world. I have alot of things I like, but I finally see that I love cars. And am inspired by "normal" people, people that aren't in the big money builds, people thats start from the bottom and keep it simple, that anything is possible.
I have always loved the thrill of rescuing and reviving old vehicles.
Twice viewed!😁
How much does the ford go for in your area? Go job
I've never purchased one, but the prices are all over the place.
👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️
Yes I got the first like!
What makes auto lights bad plugs?
I've just had issues where they didn't last very long or they came defective.
@@garthsgraveyardgarage ok good to know. Thanks 👍
i've had the strappings fail prematurely , about 2 o r 3 months and the straps are almost burned off the plugs..i went to delco and haven't had any issues
Yeah keep her away from Social media and Video games. This is good for her
If the gas was bad, it wouldn't run
It's definitely bad.
She can drink some Coco. Heehee
