No matter how long the video is I will always tune in. Thanks for keeping these old cars out of the woods and out of the scrap yards. Thanks Bill!!

[@Atomshamradio]

I agree

[@Atomshamradio]

Great channel

[@flatbrokegarage]

It makes me happy that all of you watch my channel. I'm just an old dude who likes old cars. Really don't have any other hobbies other than this, but hey, it keeps me out of trouble. Thanks again for supporting my channel

[@robertgorman5622]

Heck yeah bring on the mustang and Ashley I love watching the 2 of y'all working together 😊

[@Matt-uk6uc]

I like your Blues Brothers poster on the door of your shop. I would put a set of Ford magnum 500 wheels on the Falcon, and use the car as an enjoyable driver.

[@flatbrokegarage]

@@Matt-uk6uc kind of the plan. Under the dash is a mess. I have to do something with it

[@Adzie36]

Another great video! Myself I enjoy either long videos or lots of videos coming out one after the other over a shorter period of time. Car repair videos are like therapy for me.

[@flatbrokegarage]

So glad you enjoy them. To make an hour video, I have about 4 to 5 hours of footage that I cut up to make something that interesting. Honestly the filming and editing take way longer than the actual repairs 😆 I actually have the car driving. Just not the time to get the videos together. I'm an old fat and not great with this computer stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@stevenwolfgang2744]

Love the old Ford stuff!

[@flatbrokegarage]

Me too

[@bigbill709]

A little heat goes a long way .

[@flatbrokegarage]

You bet, I'm old and get grouchy when I'm cold 😆

[@bigbill709]

One hour or less is my preferred length of vids but i will watch what you produce.

[@flatbrokegarage]

I so appreciate all of you that support my channel. Thanks

[@ding7856]

I enjoy videos 30 minutes to an hour, but I am old. Great video, have a safe and happy weekend.

[@flatbrokegarage]

@ding7856 thanks for the input!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

The 19th content on this video was fine.. I do like to 30 minute videos give or take. I can see you just got rolling on it and kept making a video where maybe he can make two videos. You had a whole another episode. Okay now I'm going to be on the other side of the board. I personally like how you don't just stop 🛑. Get rolling and keep going like you did on this one. Erase the natural stopping point. I'm afraid that my comment up to this point won't be that helpful. I was just watching a short on audio archeology when two of you have teamed up. The heavy Chevy Chevelle. I am glad to see that you are going to get back to the mustang. I was kind of wanting to see that again because I like seeing father daughters and father son collaborations

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Another nice video mister Flatbroke. Lovely car. I get low budget, but love these old cars being saved. Nice work.

[@flatbrokegarage]

I think I'll eventually restore it some day. I just need it to move. It is insured and tagged so I can take it on the road. Thanks for supporting my channel

[@bigbill709]

Cooper nickel brake line it's the shit

[@flatbrokegarage]

My first time using them. I like them (so far) I was just waiting for the "you can't use copper lines" comments

[@danswartwood4580]

I like the hour video myself, just saying. Thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Bill😊😊

[@flatbrokegarage]

I'm just glad people enjoy watching. Truth is, it takes several hours of footage to glue a somewhat interesting video together. Honestly, the car is running and driving now. It just takes me forever to get a video together. Thanks for supporting my channel

[@KristerRehn]

Fords excelent fueltank solution...

[@flatbrokegarage]

@@KristerRehn I thunk it's better than the straps

[@tomwebb766]

I'm with you on that.A lot easier than balancing a fuel tank that on your head when you're getting rusted straps and bolts loose!

[@tonyegan4651]

Your videos are just about the right length for me👍

[@timb3925]

My 79 Caprice 2 door had those helper shocks on it (installed by the previous owner traveling salesman)... When the trunk was empty it looked like it had air shocks. You could actually see the frame above the tire in the back. In the winter I could put 400 lbs in the trunk and it was still up slightly in the back. Most of them seemed like they were dragging the back when they had weight in them.

[@flatbrokegarage]

I think im going to keep the helper coils in just for conversation purposes. I bet your car road like a truck when it was empty

[@jeffreycler495]

I like the 1 hour video. Have a great interest in old Fords . Presently drive 1964 Fairlane 500 289 v8 , 3 on the tree.

Gettin' it done FBG style! good job. Good looking car worth bringing back

I like the video I'm a Ford guy so what ever you do is fine by me.

[@tturtle1659]

Funny you posted this just now, I was reading an article about this gen Falcon on the Curbside Classic site (look up "1970½ Ford Falcon: Mission Implausible"). Apparently you could have had any engine option you wanted so maybe a 429 Cobra Jet Ram Air replica is a possibility😃. But I hear you on the priorities thing...

[@flatbrokegarage]

I had a friend offer me a 1970 date code 429. That would be a cool swap if I save the car. Thanks for watching!

It doesn't take long to get a bunch of loot tied up in a project like the falcon?

[@flatbrokegarage]

You got that right. It's going to get way worse too 😆

[@danswartwood4580]

Back in 1972 I bought a 1970 Ford Galaxie with the 390 in it and a 2 barrel carb.

[@jerryhicks8058]

Bill I have some extra parts like belts and wheel cylinders that were bought for the Torino and Ltd I have and your welcome to them may be some other things

[@flatbrokegarage]

For sure! you can contact me at [e-mail]

[@billtopka2584]

Bill, I think the battery support is mint. Nice it’s from a Torino. 👍😎

[@tomburns8832]

When I heat up the brake line like you did , I always have a spray bottle of water. Spray water on the hot parts and then the nut should crack loose without distorting the line or the nut . I also use heat like that on really rusty wheel hubs. Heat and water and the rust will clean up with a wire wheel.

[@robertvance1873]

With the cowl issue I would get a cheap scope and run it inside to see how bad it is inside, if it's not bad you can patch the hole.

[@flatbrokegarage]

Funny you say that. It's in the next video. The results are not promising

I don’t know Torino’s, but I do know of a 71 Torino four-door in a local salvage yard. I have photos, and the trunk looks to be in good shape? I am in Maryland.

[@flatbrokegarage]

How is the trunk lid?

[@LinusCloudbuster]

@@flatbrokegarageTalk to text butchered that last message, but as I mentioned it looked good from the outside. I didn’t see keys, so I wasn’t able to pop and look on the under side.

Those look more like hijacker shocks that help with leaf spring sag.

[@Rusty_Dents]

45 minutes is about the max for me, or a little longer if a lot is happening in the video like Cleetus or Freiburger. I tend to watch less of Vice Grip Garage and Sleeperdude because they are almost painstakingly too long. I use the FF> a lot on those. Also, I'll watch your videos because I know you, personally, and I know you are a great guy. Keep up the good work Bill

[@davidgardner262]

Hahaha….. albino hell pellets 😂🤣

[@KennethMason-j6i]

One Other thing i Was wondering? Some of the other you two Guys Is same to be getting new Is shops? Built Is that youtube Shopping them do that Are them themselves Would be great to see you With a new shop and lived

[@flatbrokegarage]

The guys that get new shops and lifts are younger guys looking to make a living at this. Vicegrip, Sleeper dude, McCool, they get the money from the amount of subscribers and views along with sponsorship, merchandise sales, and donations. I don't have the bar set that high 😄 I'm retired and on social security. I can only earn so much a year. I'm an old fart. I also don't want to make this a "job" it's just a hobby.

Hi Bill They were Probably Pulling a Large Camper, or Large Boat, To put Coil over Shocks on, That's 1,500 pound add on, It's a Shame the Car wasn't a Manual, The Under neath don't look to Bad, You can buy New Boxes for the front, The Body looks good real fixable .Well Good luck Bill

[@davidcornish9235]

Falcon is a parts car or just patch and drive... Your Torino GT needs the time and money. My .02 cents

[@flatbrokegarage]

Yep, I'm definitely moving on my 71 Torino. Just going to get this falcon running and on the back burner

[@attemptedauto]

Epic burnout in the next video?!?!

[@LarryDeSilva64]

That tank probably smells as bad on the one on my project the U S Army 1952 Dodge 3/4 T. 4x4 M37 cargo carrier. It was so bad in the tank it had actually solidified most of the gas. I ended up making a temp gas tank out of a 5 gallon Gerry can that is strapped inside the back corner of the bed. For being out in the woods that long I am surprised the Falcorino 's entire bottom isn't rusted out. Well getting it moving and griving and braking are pretty much necessary.

[@KennethMason-j6i]

You know you was talking about being invested into this car and the rest I've always wanted to have the skills to do the things you do however I learned carpentry instead as my father was a carpenter but I figure it like this you do what you do for the love of it and to be able to provide these old pieces of History a second chance say the question becomes do you want to fix it and put it back on the road and give it a second chance at life if so and for the love of doing it because chances are if you doing it to make a profit you're probably not going to for me if I had your skills and have that car it would be a no brainer I would bring it back and enjoy it just food for thought

[@flatbrokegarage]

Thanks! I know enough to be dangerous 😆 I'm from the trades, too. im a retired heavy equipment operator. Did a little work on cars back in the late 70s but went after the union money. My first love was always cars. So happy I have the chance now to play with them. Thanks for watching

[@KennethMason-j6i]

@flatbrokegarage you're very welcome I enjoy watching him I had hoped someday to be like you to be able to play with them and to learn I was a sheet metal mechanic for 31 years like you and went after the money traveling got hurt in an automobile accident which took my career from me and I've currently been fighting to get disability and you know the government don't like to do what they're supposed to to those who have paid in anyway I'd still like to be where I could pedal with them even though I would have to do it in spurts you keep the videos coming I enjoy watching them particularly with those cars I love that body style pretty much all the Torino body styles were great to me I love the 6869 as well just know that I'm going to watch all the videos you post and I hope you will go all the way with this car as I can watch the steps just like I did with the falconcarino

[@KennethMason-j6i]

@flatbrokegarage oh I feel like I need to explain a little more Carpenter and I done that for the first 7 years out of school to my child was born and if you know anything about that type of work is seasonal there will be more to do during the summer than you can get to and just before Christmas it falls out be nothing to do so at that point I decided I had to have something 40 hours a week at the time free money doing the carpenter work so I decided did my daughter needed more took a job as a helper making minimum wage at the time which was $3.25 an hour and work my way up

[@flatbrokegarage]

@KennethMason-j6i you will get there. I just drove the Falcarino yesterday

[@blancadelagarza1247]

I can easily watch a 2 hour video

[@robertmungo5428]

Just my opinion, but wasn't this car forgotten? You do whatever you want it's better to at least run and be functional than to not exist anymore! Just my opinion!

[@flatbrokegarage]

Think my plan is to get it driving and put it on the back burner until I get my daughter's mustang and my 71 torino finished. I just needed this car to get out of my front yard 😆
