BARN FIND Ford Fairlane Rescue! First Wash in 29+ Years! Part 2

[@TEXAS_4U]

Spend as much time as you can with your kids. They will be grown before you know it.

[@jeffscott8323]

Always loved them oldFairlanes

[@donaldparlett7708]

I miss my 67 Fairlane XL . Fun ride.

[@gns423]

Great looking car!

[@70chevs]

I'm sure it felt good to have 3 generations of your family working on the Fairlane. Your daughter is definitely going to be a car girl.

[@shawnbeck2303]

This is my favorite car. Had a body from the fin cars era. The next year it had round tail lights. Put in a 5.0 Mustang motor. You have a Sleeper! Ford. Shawn

[@garybrinker4522]

Fins were gone for 64..

[@RobertThomas-vr2qn]

Looks awesome... if your ever in my neck of the woods with that car we can go cruising with that one and my 1965 ford fairlane 500.

[@lvsqcsl]

I think 1962 was the first year for the mid-size Fairlane. (My grandfather had a 1961 that was a full-size car like the Galaxie.) That Windsor family of engines included the 221, 260, 289, 302, and 351W. The was I understand it, engineers knew that 221 wasn't going to be enough engine to pull that car. So, I think the Challenger 260 was next. My grandfather later traded for a 1968 Fairlane with a 289 that he gave me to drive years later when I turned 16. It had automatic transmission and an AM Philco radio that I added an FM converter to get local stations and that was it. It wasn't much to look at, but it was fast enough for me. Wish I had it back! Great video!

[@jpalberthoward9]

Another survivor gets a new lease on life, the kid helps out and learns something The end result is spectacular, and a stinky old crusty beast that might have gotten crushed if idiots were in charge can now be a fine and beautiful daily driver if you so desire. My heart skips a beat and does a backflip. Everybody wins. Outstanding work, sir. I wish you nothing but the best!!

[@billwright7272]

Nice job putting your daughter in the video working with her Dad! I’m sure that made her very happy. You should be proud! Way to go.

[@bryanyoung3764]

Nothing like a daddy's little girl A good Dad can make a huge difference in a little girl's life 😇

[@wesleycross3469]

Hello from Australia. Nice job on the car by you and dad.. however what a proud moment for you when your daughter helping. Perhaps the beginning of Budget Builds with Belle..

[@mikescudder4621]

Its come out awesome as expected! Great to see your little girl get involved...

[@jeffhayes630]

Beautiful automobile! I love seeing the old vehicles given a new chance to roll! Great job involving your daughter! Teaching children hands on skills enriches their lives and builds solid work ethics. Well done!

[@wrayjordan7188]

My first car was a 1962 Fairline 500 4 door with the rare 221ci V8 predecessor of the iconic 289ci. Great to see this. It looks amazing. Good job. Thanks for sharing this.

[@randyriggs5463]

You and your dad are doing a wonderful job on this car. I think a lot of people are wanting to return to these old dependable cars. No computer or nothing!

[@mikekozi-lester3887]

Hi Mike and his Dad and Mike's daughter nice video 📹 and workmanship what a shiner !!!

[@allenm00]

Make sure to pay your daughter for her help so it is just child labor, and not slave labor. 😁 Great seeing you include your kids as they get older.

[@batmanlives6456]

That’s one sweet looking ride !!! Anyone would be proud of that Great job guys Hard work really pays off !!!

[@richardmartin9681]

Looks good that was my very first car that I had

[@benjamink591]

Love the mini series format rather than just will it run. Keep the great content coming

[@mattbrown5511]

This battered, broken old veteran can only dream of such a beautiful old machine. I'm happy you saved her.

[@StreetDayAuto]

[@mattfortin3612]

One major thing I love about your videos, you include the family element. Keep it up and can't wait to see the Porsche

[@ronaldwelchsr.5317]

I had one just like it. It was white with red and white interior bucket seats. It was our dating machine almost 60 years ago. Good job I enjoyed seeing it recovered. God bless Merry Christmas

[@seancasey2296]

Came out gorgeous!!

[@darrengarvie8832]

Man that was a diamond in the rough and your daughter is an excellent helper 🙂 keep her at it 😁

[@JackBWatkins]

Love to see a 60’s Ford Family Pic with the Galaxy, Fairlane and T-bird.

[@richardhill4862]

Hats off to you sir, she got to spend time with you and got a small introduction to your world. When she grows up, she might be into cars or at least understand what it takes on these cars. It is amazing how well this car cleaned up. You do good work!

[@locotrucker46]

You're so fortunate that she is interested in cars and stuff

[@billdyke9745]

My apologies. I don't watch clean 'em up videos, so I fast forwarded to nearly the end. And it looks incredible. From disgusting to desirable with elbow grease and not much more. We slobs of the world salute you, sir... (all the emojis I have and there isn't a saluting one! Have a cake instead)...🎂

[@minnesotatomcat]

Salute 🫡

[@VL1975]

Well you missed the cool moments in the video then. God forbid you went and watched AMMONYC! LOL

[@alejoer22]

The cake is a lie

[@troygoodacre2718]

I really enjoy the clean up videos

[@ctech14367]

Ok, Micheal do more clean’em up videos!! Thanks for the tips on cleaning old paint and your touch up work looked great.

[@tyhogue8316]

My dad always told me to start at the top! I miss him and think of him everyday! You are lucky to have such a great father.🙂

[@JDDOWDY]

Absolutely awesome. What a great job. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@joshuabreeden1211]

Awesome job you are a great dad i love the car looks beautiful.

[@williambarker8147]

Great that you have the next generation in your video. I can tell you are a proud dad and Grandpa.

[@blueracercam20]

What I really enjoy about your channel is that your not dropping thousands and thousands of dollars into new parts and can still get a vehicle to turn out that good.

[@richardp6178]

Apart from the Porsche! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@darrenswails]

@@richardp6178 but it does look nice

[@richardp6178]

@@darrenswails Oh that it does!!!

[@BirdsArena7]

It's good to see you saved a fabulous car and best wishes for your daughter, she will be an excellent car restorer.

[@ronwagner9493]

I think it is really cool that you have your daughter helping you

[@braxtonnelson7422]

One of the best "barn-find shine-ups" I've seen this year! Looking forward to seeing more of this ride in future videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@jimmeade2314]

Michael, you got a thumbs up for the restoration. I wish I had another for your helper/camera operator, Belle.

[@johnseher2289]

The Fairlane is in amazing original condition given its age and location east of the Mississippi. What a find! Working with your father and daughter on the project has to be the best.

[@thomasgoolsby8661]

It turned out great. The hub caps are perfect. Great helper that you have there. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@bradzimmerman3171]

How can hubcraps be perfect, nonsense, why have a grandma look that's really old and boring. Wheelcovers no longer acceptable, they make any car/truck lame get with it

[@bradzimmerman3171]

What is wrong with the black wheels/ black body seems quite matching really, hubcraps are so lame like engine covers and bumper stickers

[@bryanpiereson8083]

Great job powering thru working in the cold while sick. That car really cleaned up better than expected. Hopefully some skilled hammer/dolly work can improve the rear bumper.

[@arkhsm]

FANTASTIC...who'd of thought this old girl was in such good condition under all that fungus and mold !!

[@notsouren]

I watch your videos because of you and your family and then the cars. You guys are so genuinely positive and wholesome

[@donchandler755]

I just happened across your youtube channel and, after watching your work on the 62 Fairlane, I am hooked. A appreciate the fact that you are talking about dropping in an LS engine or altering the car. You've brought it back to what it was intended. I am now a big fan.

[@garybrinker4522]

It should in my opinion stay Ford power. 289,302or 351w 😎

[@670tazman]

That's a beautiful car

[@pecktox]

Like it you had your little gal helping.. she'll always remember that. Pez

[@mec-tec]

Awesome Job guys and great to see your daughter getting involved ! Top Work ! Regards MEC from MEC-TEC

[@grayhounddaddy62leake83]

Anytime you video the revival of a vintage ride, I'm gonna be right there watching and being amazed at how it looks when finished!!!! Great Video!!!!

[@garygoff5332]

I'm new to this channel. I'm really glad to find you. Love what you're doing.

[@denislandry7577]

Well done ! Well done , nice to see young little girl to get in there !❤

[@JaveyEL6369]

I hope you do encourage her to learn all about cars. 😊

[@cracyzero777rat]

She came out great, good to see that your daughter likes helping out 😄. Next time it will her rescuing her first classic

[@texdentist]

My first car was a '63 Fairlane w/ bench seats and three on the column with the 221 V8 engine. I was 16 and the car was three years old. I paid $750 for it with pretty low mileage. I drove the heck out of the car, but this was the beginning of the muscle car era, and I couldn't wait to get enough money to get into a muscle car. It took me a couple of years to be able to afford a '66 Olds 442. But my dad drove the Fairlane for another few years as a drive to work car. These things were sturdy but easy to work on. Great video! Lots of memories there.

[@jeffscott8323]

Now that's the way ya do it. Teach um young. Shell remember this forever. Daddy.

[@jeffsnyder2051]

its lookin good , glad the lil car gal is helping!! get well soon !!!!!!!

[@locotrucker46]

That old Ford looks really good. Yall did a great job on it

[@somewhatfast]

Being stored indoors really saved on it, great job. beautiful car.

[@charlesw.hopperjr.5236]

Family involvement is precious; Great video and nice looking’62 Ford Fairlane!Take Care, Your Oregon Friend.☮️

[@davidfischer5945]

I had a 1963 4-door Fairlane 500 in that same color scheme, 1970-73. It had an anemic in-line six; that little V8 must’ve been such a better prime mover. This is one of your best yet. I’m going to stick my nose in your life a little. I listen to your videos through my new Bluetooth hearing aids. Please wear noise protection when running power tools. You’ll be glad you did years from now!

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

That is one drop-dead GORGEOUS survivor! Anyone in their right mind would be proud to make it their Saturday night cruiser and/or their daily driver. Looking forward to the next installment of this revival. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and an even more wonderful New Year! To the entire BB gang, Cheers!!!

[@shrug53]

It is so fantastic that you are sharing these skills with your kids. Best thing you can do. I did not have a dad,but my uncle started teaching me to work on cars when I was just ten years old. Now, almost 50 years later, I still love cars!

[@drgravy4742]

I watch your videos because it’s a family thing. Keep working with your dad and daughter and you will reap what you sow

[@oldmr.boston1237]

Fantastic survivor, I would buy this Fairlane !!

[@Robalo-2660]

Great job Michael! I learned to drive in a '63 Fairlane 300. It was really bare bones compared to your jewel I'm really happy to see you resurrecting these pieces of automotive history. Love the channel , always a new challenge to keep us coming back.

[@laurendunford8315]

You did a great inprovement with the black 62 ford. I was amazed at the inprovement

[@johncaballero8013]

Wonderful survivor Fairlane! You’ve done a great job so far, bringing this barn find back to life. Keep up the great work!

[@charliesydnor8889]

That car turned out amazing for being 60 year old. The ton of crud actually protected the paint. That is going to make a sweet ride. God Bless You and your dad along with Belle. She is definitely a daddy's girl. It's so great to see your dad have such a tight bond. The TransAm yall brought back I woukd have loved to have got my hands. Keep bringing back the oldies

[@xozindustries7451]

It’s amazing how good that paint came out, great work

[@lunabouch]

Michael so wonderful to see your daughter lending a hand. It so important to have our children learn from us and her enthusiasm certainly show through. AND the car looks fantastic! Looking forward in seeing it on the road. Happy Holidays to you, your Dad, and your family🎄🎄

[@erniescarano1522]

I watched all 3 videos of the 62 Fairlane....I LOVED all 3.....your instincts are good and you did a great job of getting this hidden jewel running again...thanks and keep them coming.

[@cactuskiwi4218]

One of the more satisfying episodes I’ve ever watched. That car is a dime.

[@paulmullins4439]

Looks nice good job on the paint your daughter did a awesome job you all keep up the great work

[@kimber1958]

Looks great

[@BudgetBuildz]

Thank you!

[@pleopold4010]

I'm amazed how well it cleaned up with just the rinse down, wow!

[@jimclarke1108]

Great find, cool looking car, excellent work from the young apprentice🥰

[@hectormacias8890]

Car looks beautiful. Great job!

[@someguyonli]

You're a saint. There's no other way to say it. When your daughter started messing with the antenna, not even a no, no honey. WOW! You have my respect sir.

[@marktatum2592]

Looks alot like the 1963 Mercury Comet I once had only she had fender skirts, a 260 V8 auto and was bright yellow!

[@garybrinker4522]

Actually the Mercury version of this Fairlane is a Meteor..

[@marktatum2592]

1960 -1961 Ford Comet was based on Ford Falcon. In 1962 the name was changed to Mercury Comet. In 1966 -1969 It was based on the intermediate Ford Fairlane then, in 1971-1977 to the Maverick platform.

[@SummerRoseRacing]

That Fairlane really cleaned up nicely! --- Belle = Best shop helper ever!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@marceloeyzaguirre526]

way to go Randy ..!! .. looks phenomenal ... keep up the good work .. !!

[@darrenswails]

Who is Randy?

[@mikebasler8420]

I wish I could like this twice! Amazing job! Car looks beautiful can’t wait to see what you do with it next!

[@morgansword]

I am a FORD man and this survivor should bring out a sponsor to the man (Budget Buildz) who has given most of his talents, a lot more of his energy to see this car come out of its one time grave to sunlight and future. I truly wish I was the man who found you guys and transformed the way that you guys are so capable of doing this type of work.

[@omphaloskeptic4989]

Holy Cow, what a transformation! A true barn find that is being brought back from the brink. Your daughter is a 'charmer' and I do hope you get some a 8"x10" photo of her working that DA to hang in a place of prominence on the shop wall. All too soon, their are 'grown'n'gone'! So make that memory wall in the shop now! Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

[@deeXswanson]

Amazing what you can do with these old cars here’s wish you and your family a very merry Christmas

[@dennisbrown2571]

What great clip. Your daughter made my day. The car is a miracle. I saw somewhere, you can use plumbers putty instead of the clay bars and save some money.

[@stevencimini3556]

Wow! What a difference! Thanks for going over step by step the procedure for restoring the paint. Car looks fantastic. 😃

[@barfass]

That sure looks like a kid who is hooked! She has it down perfect, even the cleanup! Fantastic opportunity. Cherish it man.

[@alexanderg-p3z]

Oh no! They flushed off the patina! (/sarcasm, just to be clear) It came out looking sweet! Also, heartwarming to see the next generation chipping in on the job!

[@mattlauer3323]

nice to see your little girl wanted to hang out with dad

[@terrysellers6712]

Those are great looking little cars, my sister and brother had them middle to late 60s and 70's

[@LSnium]

My favorite videos are detailing and washing videos of dirty cars, it just makes me feel good about them being clean again.

[@timothyalderman2376]

This is definitely a keeper. I know this is your livelihood but sometimes you have to enjoy the results a little longer before parting ways.

[@garyjohnson4608]

WOW !!! She looks sooo much better !!!!!

[@jbrentonheights9190]

She's a really good camera person 😊

[@melbgrk6725]

[@rogerward3185]

I can't wait to see the next installment! I want to see this one through to the end!

[@pedroequis9396]

To avoid hard lines on your paint blend roll your tape. It will make a big difference.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

Wow WOW WOW! THIS LOOKS AMAZING... ALL BECASE THATCUTE LITTLE LADY HELPED YALL OUT.

[@richardmartin9681]

Looks really good that was my very first car back when I was a teenager I'm 61 now

She was definitely hiding under all that grime!!
