Does my heart good seeing you young guys keeping the classics on the road! Even though I'm a Chevy guy, 1970 C20 :)

[@typcltytl]

Patrick Donnell hell yeah brother, 1979 c10 stepside

[@Blakethegoat]

Little late but i got a 87 Dakota 😂

[@tombrenes2411]

I would have changed all the visible bolts with coated ones. New battery cables get 1 wire alternator move the battery behind seat or in center console or a small racing battery under dash make it look clean paint black behind the fenders behind the bumpers and valance great job

[@prancstaman]

Yup, makes a world of difference taking it apart like that. It kills me when I go to car shows and the people have a killer paint job on the outside and rattle can the engine bay while it's still together. Looks good!!

[@Thecraig909]

thank you man! I definitely agree with you there!

[@GooeyThaGamer]

I'm totally going to do that to my 72' keep up the great work. I usually get most of my ideas from you vids 😂👍🏻.

[@Thecraig909]

GooeyTheGamer hell yea that's why I'm here! Let me know how it goes id love to see it!

[@stephchretien7750]

I inherited a 72' Ford F-100 Custom, thank God for your videos because it takes a lot of the guess work out of some of these cosmetic projects. I can't seem to find a whole lot of restoration videos for these trucks, so thank you for posting!

[@risingstar1309]

Great job. Makes an awesome difference that makes it look more clean and professional

[@Thecraig909]

RisingStar yea that's what I liked about it and why I did it

[@ZUKIJIMMY]

Playing hysteria on your phone, nice to see other people listening to good music, I'm 15 and they're my favorite band. Trucks looking great!

[@Thecraig909]

James Redding heck yea man all classics. Thanks for the support man!

[@michaelcuff5780]

Wowd just had a flashback! I did a set of cab mounts on my buddies 73 f350 campers special when I was younger. Lol!

[@SAM-eg7jg]

Lots of work, Looks great..!! The hotter you get those rattle cans the better they work. Heat them up, When there good and hot you will feel the pressure and see the atomization when the nozzle is pushed down compared to a room temp can.

[@mandywood5753]

Hey I want to say great job! It's cool to see young guys getting involved in restoring old vehicles! I have a '71 short bed that I am building with a 393W that makes over 600hp at the flywheel... The "Only" thing I would change in your vids would be the music...other than that spot on! Can't wait to see more

[@hotmechanicak]

I love seeing you at this age having an interest in a classic truck instead of a booming stereo and ricers with wings. Your truck is coming along nicely and I am going to continue to watch all of your videos. I know this is 3 years old but you do use old guys proud!

[@Jacobkiziah]

You should buy some wire loom and tuck all your wires up and try to hide them. Would make it look even cleaner.

[@1957kwick]

Makes me very happy to see guys your age interested in old trucks like that. Keep it finish it and enjoy it best of luck.

[@allfamilyimportanddomestic8508]

Just picked up my dream truck today after watching your build for a while now on this truck just got me a 1968 Ford F-250 camper special four speed the build begins you already gave me a lot of inspiration be posting videos soon

[@zeazy164]

Paint looks great, and the long videos are awesome. Keep up the great content. 👍

[@Thecraig909]

flamingtatertot thanks appreciate the support and feedback!!

[@DumbJeepBoy]

gotta say kudos to you and your friends, yall have a lot more ambition than most kids do

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

thecraig909 i know what you are saying about your grille. the po of my truck a 67 Ford f-100. he used a tree or a fence post to help stop the truck. now the bumper being bent no big deal 67 / 72 bumpers are all the same. the grille well that,s a one year only grille. i got really lucky on evil bay some one had one and they only wanted $175.00 and free shipping. i have seen the steel ones for a 67 on there for $300.00+ and know free shipping. my cousin told me of a tip he used when he painted the engine bay on his 67 Cougar. take the plastic tip from a WD-40 can that has never had WD-40 thru it. you can put it on the spray nozzle of your spry can .and you can get into the hard to reach spots. i watch your videos all the way thru. keep up the good work. you give me ideas for my truck.also from what i hear. the windshields from 1967 thru 1979 are all the same. the trim around the glass is diff. for the diff. years.

[@Logster191]

Just did this to my 75 F-150. Well worth the time. Great job

[@Thecraig909]

thanks man yea i really like it!

[@Fordman7575]

Looks great! It's amazing how big of a difference some elbow grease and some spray paint can make in the engine compartment.

[@hiramabifffromsirius146]

You doubled the value of that truck. This is an impressive young man.

[@jeramiet154]

I'm doing this on a 67 for a guy by myself. I pulled the engine and transmission out, resealed the pan, intake and valve covers. I painted the whole engine old ford blue with black accents. Adding a serpentine system from CVF and converting it to power steering. And a few other things. This whole job started as valve cover and intake gaskets! 🤣

[@WP_DIYEverything]

The tip for drilling the hinge and hood is amazing. Never thought of that and was worried about pulling it off and realigning

[@kellybergin1532]

Good Job!! Way to get after it!!

[@jadedragon3274]

This is probably the best sounding f100 I have heard. Btw the engine bay looks awesome with fresh paint.

[@gimmefuel7268]

Looking fantastic man!! I actually own an old ‘84 Chevy Square body but I am definitely enjoying watching your progress on your Ford. Awesome work man. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@walterarmijo5668]

Craig I've been admiring your f100 I've watched all the content I have the same truck and ive done a lot of the same work your very helpful I'm doing the engine bay rn and I appreciate your passion for everything and thank you for all the videos and part adventures its so helpful and you do great work! keep it up!

[@ricdiamondhandsflair7208]

Nice job! This will be 3rd on my to do list on my 66 F100 after the cab mount replacement and interior. Thanks for the how to video.

[@vargaspueblo]

Looks Frickin sweet compared to before. Good job. Like the videos. Keep em coming

[@Thecraig909]

will do thank you!!!

[@vin6930]

Thanks for the inspiration, I gotta get onto it.

[@1manshop335]

That turned out great man wow

[@Thecraig909]

1 man shop thanks man appreciate it!

[@1manshop335]

Anytime man I got my 402 back together too

[@GF_Burke]

Niiiice man. My 79 is having a new blue 300 crate put in. While the old one is out, I'm get'n up in there.

[@kenburns7938]

Yeah i'm one of the guys who watched the whole video, thanks for showing me how to take the front end off my truck, i just bought a 71 F100 and want to do the same thing you showed in your video, my patina is about the same as yours and i would like to make the interior and under truck look nice and keep the exterior just as is.Thanks again i will now watch the rest of your vids to get more ideas for my truck

[@jaymemathews500]

I absolutely love watching your videos!! It looks so clean. This makes me want to work on mine but like you mine is a daily driver. Keep up the amazing content!!!

[@ja5435]

I’ve seen this video multiple times and it’s even better the second time.

[@tombrenes2411]

Next I'd reposition the master cylinder under the cab on the frame clean up the fire wall upgrade big brakes all around put the Hoon stick and start sliding it !

[@seanro3045]

Heavy duty aluminum foil works great to wrap any lines on the fly.

[@gosportjamie]

Those wiring clips, instead of going out and buying new ones, if they're available, take a trip to your local junk yard and have a good look around and you'll find that lots of newer vehicles use pretty much exactly the same clips. If you're honest you'll probably find the junk yard won't charge you for them, or you can just stick them in your pocket though the yard may get the hump with you if they have you turn out your pockets. The same thing goes with fuses, depending on what type the vehicle uses as a lot of modern vehicles use blade or mini blade fuses. Some people say that used fuses are a risk but as long as you take them from something with a dry and uncorroded fuse box you'll probably be fine. It's a good way of accumulating a stash of them as you can usually guarantee that when you really need one you won't have the correct rating on the shelf so you'll have to go and get one, maybe risking getting pulled by the police because something important isn't working...

[@Thecraig909]

Haha i'll definitely try this one out cause our local yard owner is a lowkey prick and has ripped my friends off before so ill scavenge around lol. thanks again for the info!

[@gosportjamie]

+Thecraig909 I definitely would then, take them for whatever you can get. Mind you, I wouldn't use a yard like that again anyway, I'd find a better one, but that's not so easy in the US when the next nearest ones could be miles away...

[@brandonheath7478]

Love the videos man! I wanted to paint my engine bay as well but wasn't sure how it would turn out or even work. This video helped a lot!

[@nelsonramos2218]

Looks awesome! Thats a cool project to do on a free weekend! Thanks for the video!

[@HHCI_Stance]

That is the meanest sounding truck I have ever listened to nice truck

[@Thecraig909]

thanks man appreciate it!

[@jonmillspaugh7087]

That turned out absolutely awesome,great job.

[@GreenDragonPainting]

Looks really nice and clean. Great job.

[@joser5193]

Dang Bud You’ve done so much to this Truck. I’m trying to get on my Dads 71 f100 It’s just where to start. Little at a time. Great content. Keepem comin

[@dantheman9395]

I could go either way on long or short videos. Do throw in a short/quick update on some of the projects. Looks great, nice and clean.

[@Thecraig909]

Dan Soderholm will do bud thank you!

[@tylerahrens9296]

Just subscribed! I've been really interested in 1970's model Ford trucks and your the man to watch! I also watched your other videos with your F-100, I'm really loving your content. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@liamritter7211]

Do you want to buy one or just have interest?

[@justinfahnestock5067]

The engine bay really looks good

[@Thecraig909]

thank you!

[@larrybair8074]

Looks great. Do it to all your projects.

[@elijahlee2951]

Love the content man. I've been trying to build up my 78 F150 too.

[@montserratramirez8334]

That is an amazing job, thumbs up guys

[@joserojeda6733]

Engine looks good....keep the videos coming. .i enjoy watching them

[@tomeighty]

Great job! Looks like it was well worth the effort.

[@jackww839]

So awesome!

[@MrTank123321]

Looks awesome

[@ARCbirdman]

i know i am years late, but for anyone who wants to do this. Buy a gloss clear coat, its makes the paint more durable and you dont have to stick to gloss only paints

[@killa-oj7ud]

I honestly hate fords. I think they dont have enough power for me, and they suck up gas. But i can't deny that you have a badass truck. You've put in so much effort into that truck that i cant help but admire it. Good shit man

[@DarkflamedPyromancer]

Came out great! You and boostedboiz are the only channels putting out good content haha.

[@red58fury]

Mine could definitely use an engine bay clean up. Gotta fix some leaky valve cover gaskets first haha.

[@TheCitizenWarrior]

Nice job, looks great.

[@henrygibson1530]

It looks great keep up the good work and enjoy your videos.

[@timothynichols3360]

Beautiful

[@johnarntz1677]

I would have built it myself. But if it works for you. Im all for it.

[@KnuckleHeadGarage27]

yeah loved the video can't wait for more and I just bought a 78 f100 with 351w automatic already starting to do things to it I'll have to get some videos of it really soon but I do have problems with when I turn head lights on and the truck running it acts like it wants to die just doesn't act right and they do like a flickering type thang too when they are on does worse when u give it gas and when u turn the light off it stops and acts fine but the interior lights still flicker tho

[@Thecraig909]

that sounds like some crazy electrical issues, hope you get it!

[@90zuk4]

That’s the alternator going bad. For everyone’s information, when you add electric load and your truck starts to act funky measure the battery while running. It should be between 13.5 and 14.2 vdc due to charging. If it’s lower or higher your alternator is going bad.

[@andrewp1513]

Great job

[@morgansword]

A one year old comment; I enjoyed it and the hard effort to do things right count as well. Keep it up and yes I watched the whole video

[@jordonthibaudeau4407]

Hey I am 14 about to turn 15 I have a 1975 f100 i got for my birthday last year I had to rebuild the motor (due to 3 stuck values) while I had it a part I threw in a bigger cam headers intake and carb. And it sounds amazing

[@jordonthibaudeau4407]

You should do the same look on my page for a video

[@rybaby_]

THANKS FOR THE IDEA MAN! Gone do this to my 78

[@larrybyrne4467]

Just rewatched. Great video

[@skylinemusik1]

Thanks for this video bro this is awesome

[@freddyz9363]

Thanks Dude Awsome Job Also I Just Bought A 1969 F100 shortbed And Planing on restoring it myself

[@jaredteasdale7414]

Man put a fresh coat of Ford White on there and that thing'll look 10x more flashy

[@KingOffutt94]

Came out fresh bro

[@owayne1312]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@mikelemke1666]

You should grind off the rust in your bed and roof and then repaint it white. It would look amazing

[@theSk8erjman]

Looks great! I really need to do that to mine.

[@adrianshenk6982]

Love your videos and both of your trucks and really liked that ford shirt you had on keep up the great work

[@rapcreeperproductions3269]

If I ever do body work on my bumpside or have a shop do it I'm not gonna use bondo

[@joserojeda6733]

What's up bro. .seen you your video..looking good...I have my truck up and running. ..it was the points. ..got a little conversion kit and good to go...so little by little going to replace things here and there...

[@jordanwiley4582]

Looks great man.

[@jordanwiley4582]

Craig liked my comment. I am honored.

[@generallee698]

Hey love the videos I have a 1980 d150 and this inspires me to make my truck as best as possible keep up the vids!

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Nicely done. To get the most of your time, intent, and talent take a little time and look into rust converting products as you move forward. One outcome may give you greater freedom as you phase parts in your project. Rattle cans are available. I think you'll find they will provide you with the cosmetic satisfaction and the long-term foundation that gives you maximum return on your investment ($ & Hrs and re-sale), pride, and smart factor given the application. Be very careful w/the I'll do it later- better think. Do overs, particularly paint is paint stripping. My best. I love the F-100's

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

Just a note- Diff products have similar names very diff applications so take a close look. Eastwood, for instance breaks down their stuff - When to Use Rust Encapsulator VS. Rust Converter.

[@Thecraig909]

thank you for the info! Greatly appreciated! will definitely look into that!

[@jjtrevino1018]

Turned out great i think im going to do a $40 paint job also to my 78 f150 Ranger

[@larrybrackett2524]

Good job

[@ramvanbobby3889]

run a big air scoop with Munster auto meter tach with a shift light on the dash

[@Thecraig909]

RamVan Bobby haha thatd be knarly

[@ethanh.8737]

Whenever I put my new fenders on my truck imma do the same thing, engine bay looks like jack shit rn. Also update on it, pulling the trans tonight so I can replace the clutch. Fork and throw out bearing r all fucked so I might as well do the clutch while its all apart

[@Thecraig909]

Ethan H. Best of luck to you with that job. Sounds rough. Will be well worth it tho

[@thea.n.c.project1557]
