ABANDONED 1961 FORD FALCON - PART 2 - WILL IT MOVE?

[@GaryScharfenberg]

I'm 60, and my mother saved up for a car, secretly, to get some freedom of her own. She got a very used 61 ford falcon. My father hated it. She would pile 6 or seven of us kids and take us on day trips to local stuff and it never let us down.if you ever see another, let me know and I would be very interested.

[@locotrucker46]

I love watching you and your little one work on cars together. She is so adorable. I wish I had gotten my daughter to help me work on cars when she was little but at the time I didn't think to do that. Time flies by so fast.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Yes it does.

[@geralderdek282]

Watching you work with your little helper brings back memories of me 60 years ago watching my dad work. Pop could fix anything! I know your child will grow up with the same fond memories i have!🤗

[@locotrucker46]

Finally another video. It seems like forever since your last video. I like your videos that much.

[@pedroalejandro8324]

That bag of parts u found was a master cylinder rebuild kit.

[@lucsurmon2623]

There is a spécial mood in your videos, making them both interesting and heart warming. Thank you 👍

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Yes that part goes in your master cylinder to rebuild it

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Thank you

[@NJFatguy]

Everyone busts on ford, till they need a ride to the parts store for Chevy parts. Love the channel

[@rogerdumais7637]

I have a 2002 Ford ranger name Milly she's a good truck

[@paulweigle6872]

Great stuff man. Glad to see the kiddos. Millie the falcon, love it. Can't wait for what's next.

[@bobgeorge1560]

[@jazman1966]

Another great video. Love watching you work. Have a great holiday season.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Great job on the Ford! I can hardly wait until the next video!! I

[@seanctaylor5511]

Great video love your content and how you include your children awesome 🙏🏿👍🏿

[@rogercamp6071]

Your videos take me back to when I had my own '61 Falcon, I got pretty good at changing tires on it when I first got it,Dad and I worked on it for probably a year and a half getting it ready for when I got my driver's license, I actually still have a little 4 way lug wrench that came with it all these years later, looking forward to the next video.

[@fordmad1973]

That's awesome you went with my suggestion to naming her Millennium Falcon, Millie. She just suits the name. I was surprised to see my name pop up on the screen😲 Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, happy holidays from New Zealand Cheers mate

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Shoot me an email!

The bag of parts u found looks like a master cylinder rebuild kit

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

I'll have to check that out!

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Central California watching

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@jaywright4909]

Glad to see another new video from you. I'm enjoying watching what you do and how you get things done. I like the fact that you have many different projects to work on so you can alternate between them while you wait on parts

[@geralderdek282]

Was surprised to see you can still buy a new dual action fuel vacuum pump for it. And so close to the original too, only needing to swap the end caps! I recently went to the auto parts stores to replace my 65 falcons 6cyl pump and was disappointed to see that although the new pump would fit, it did not look the same. Was taller, and was crimped together. Not rebuildable like my old one. I keep my car original so I found a place that sells rebuild kits. Works 35:52 great! Too bad the parts from China are such crap!

[@study650]

Great video. Enjoy seeing your girl take part in them.

[@billgaines8207]

I was busy with work i finally got to watch it

[@HaroldSSchlaifer]

Just a safety comment: the Ford Mustang had that style gas tank which turned out to be a fire hazard in a rear end collision. I believe they remediated it by putting a metal sheet to protect the back seat. Also, as a youngster, I saw those type of springs holding the brakes in place. There was a tool for removing and a reattaching the springs by rotating the springs.

[@ELOfanatic]

I'm sure you've heard this before but I love the interaction between you and your kiddos. BTW I call my boys kiddo all the time.

[@ELOfanatic]

@@ClassBLiving64 Sweet!

[@jmcahron368]

I don't think that's the original fuel pump. My '62 had a huge one with a glass cup on the bottom for debris. Replaced it with an electric pump.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

It is the original. They changed various little things each year model.

[@bobbymac9334]

Sounds like it's got a cam at idle with that muffler off. Great job.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Yeah it does!

[@billgaines8207]

That's awesome to see the old girl run again it was awesome to see your 2 girls helping you awesome video

[@santostrevino7338]

Can’t wait for the rebuild like always love the content keep them coming!

[@1954shadow]

I see you got the, “Ice Man,” with his bodacious hat and famous pose, on your merch. I’m ordering a can cooler, right off the bat!

[@BatmangadgetsGaming]

freaking love it, i bought a 1961 2dr falcon about 4 months ago, its a manual, and i gotta replace the floor pan.i just got the pan in and got it from autokrafters. keep up the great content.

[@JohnBarra-mf6vd]

That’s a fordamatic two speed. It’s not super complicated. I hope you do a video if you rebuild it

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

That's the plan!

[@daveduce4288]

Oh hell yeah

[@johngray2472]

I can hear the vacuum leak over the phone, That metal line goes to dist.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

It's hooked up.

[@DiecastDreamCustoms]

That's fantastic, sir! Great video! We hope you and the girls are doing well. :)

[@jrsnider3621]

If you can rebuild a standard you can rebuild the automatic the real simple I do it all the time especially on a too speed

[@sleepervega71hill28]

Hello Garth! I don't know exactly where you're at in Texas. I have a friend that lives in a camping area tex/la. Been all over the area. Loved it!

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Canyon Lake

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Is that Chevy too you got sitting there in the garage automatic if it is it is a power glide unless somebody has swapped it out for a turbo 350

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

It's a manual 3 speed.

[@johneldred4060]

I spent a lot of time working on those old cars and smiled when you said you never seen front brakes like that. But that just shows how old I have gotten. Bet of luck my friend. Love watching your video.

[@saltynlit]

I like the name millie for her.... I like old school names for cars/trucks... I named my 96 GMC Safari Mini-Pearl.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

there is a brake tool that is 1 piece has the spring removable tool on one end and the spring installer on the other thats the only tool i have ever used had it for 50 years

[@joooools01]

Love you guys. Always enjoy the journey and look forward to future videos. "Millie" is coming along just fine. Huge thumbs up from the UK.

[@bigjohnson7415]

NEVER work on brakes without Safety Glasses! I'm blind in one eye from a brake spring doing a brake job in Highschool auto shop. Safety wasn't a big concern in 1978, but it just takes once. Be careful!

[@joegrubbs1450]

That hold down

[@locotrucker46]

That falcon came out the same year I came out. Lol

[@markdanderson8263]

Looking forward to seeing part lll. OzarkMark

Keep the good work up. Don't let the haters get to you. Just jealous of you that all.

[@williamoneal1378]

Is the white ford at the corner of the driveway for sale

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

The Powerstroke?

[@flyman1185]

When the little one grabbed that huge impact, and attached it to that rusted, Lugnut, I was certain it was going to flip her over L O L. You can tell she is truly interested in what you are doing. Please wear safety glasses. She would look cool, and you two Would make a better picture! Keep the videos coming.

[@rm370tuttut]

Garth that bag of parts you found in the trunk of the Falcon looks like a Brake master cylinder rebuild kit or it might be a clutch master cylinder rebuild kit.

[@billgaines8207]

That would be awesome

[@ranflee1]

“Fords need love too” could be a new merch line . LOL. For the record though I’m a GM guy. But still appreciated a good old American vehicle of any make, and a few foreign makes as well

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

I'm right there with ya, but like to poke at the Ford guys 😁

[@jasonjones5213]

Great video, the transmission rebuild should be interesting.

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍. Good afternoon from northeast nice job . Sir my guess is that car was junked because the transmission . Good luck on trans ! Miley , LOL !

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Thanks so much!

[@alanphillips556]

Great film garth, good luck with the gear box . Might wanna try just changing the filter first b4 pulling it to pieces. Often the filter mechanism is chocked up. Still, what do I know. 😆 good luck.

[@joeteeter]

I've said it before but I'll say it again the oldest one is very funny

[@CharlesMarshall-c1v]

I watch all your videos love your channel do some podcast when you get your fiber hooked up great stuff man and ladies

I have a nickname for your eldest daughter. Tripod. She holds a camera really well.

[@pierrejobin6113]

Aut trans are real easy, just change the plates , seals and make sure you clean the valve body.

[@tomcasey2362]

The 60 and 61 Falcons had solid lifters so the rockers just make noise.

Mosquitoes here in Louisiana are still here and if you’re bored you can ride them.

[@SC92176]

Really should speed up your intro's play speed to something like 1.25 to 1.5 or something and cut the music overlay to fit. I mean it is one of the more pleasent intro's but at nearly a full minute long, has to have people just skipping ahead.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

It's only a 30 second intro and we occasionally change it up.

[@Bluegrassguitarman23]

Just a suggestion i watch other guys who do this and I have done machanic work for most of my life my grandpa got me started but I have been using Kreeoil and it does wonders on rusted bolts and other stuff but is also good to get stuck engines free and not being disrespectful but how old is your daughter the older one

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

She's 27.

[@jamesmallinger9555]

P.S contact Sleeper Dude he knows Ford Falcons, like his name

[@jorgeb9715]

One thing Is noticed when changing gas tank and you showed the underbelly,,the universal had sign it leaked hydraulic oil from the gears,,perhaps the seal is gone

20k is nothing to slough off to. You need basically one great algorithm hit. Speed bump garage for instance. Similar count to you. His kid revives ranchero and they have 600k+. Plug away at something interesting like the camper more. Not that your other stuff isn’t, it just seems that the wild hits the algorithm. Similar to Pole Barn Garage as well. His Holy Goat hit it and he went from 20k to a couple hundred thousand in a year. Just keep being your self. That’s why we are all in here. I think a lot of people me included are tired of the fake tv bs. Some of the bigger channels have started to turn into that. It’s boring. Also I would say quit worrying and commenting on the naysayers. Let them be idiots in the comments. The more they comment the better for you. They are just keyboard warriors anyway. Another video idea would be riding around with the iceman a few times and seeing all the junk and not so junk he finds. I wish I had a guy like that here. I used to 3rd party though a guy when I flipped a bunch of mowers and ended up with some really good stuff.

[@steveharper3559]

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Yes way!

[@steveharper3559]

@@garthsgraveyardgarage Ok ok so I do see you have some grey hair highlights. 46 eh? That’s right about when I started taking afternoon power naps and when I sold my kdx200 Kawasaki. The bumps started hurting my back even though it had a great suspension. It really was my dream bike off road. That’s why it scared me. It had no bad points and made me reckless. Anyway now I just play with my 56 fairlane town sedan or “Annabelle “. It has the three speed ford-o-matic. It’s being a bugger getting the kick down rod adjusted to upshift to third. I’m close but it’ll take a little more trial and error. I’d like to just do a c-4 conversion to it. There’s adapter parts out there.
