Fixing Up An Old Ford, Continued.

[@ianharlow2075]

Excellent video. No inappropriate, loud music. No "these are the tools & safety equipment you will need". Professional camera work. No yammering about this & that, including life story. Small wonder you have such a large following. God bless you, sir, from a fellow Petrol head!

[@someabsolutebangersonhere]

The camera work alone is incredible, let alone the mechanical work etc - your channel should explode if the KZbin algorithm works. Nice work mate 😍😍

[@josephbelanger5053]

I am 65 years old and have worked on cars many of my years. I am grateful that I can now afford to buy new or pay others to make my repairs. But when I was this kid's age I had to do for myself and often I didn't know what l was doing. There is something so satisfying about watching this resourceful person determined to problem solve through. I would have power washed the radiator while I had it out. I never would have dreamed that I would watch this kind of thing, but l do and enjoy the crap out of it.

Finally an ASMR channel for guys who likes cars, old trucks, junk, tools and NEURONS...(very good direction, edition, photography and camera angles btw...)

[@drstevenrey]

OMFG, a 1960 Ford Falcon XK. I love these so much. Childhood memories.

[@johnkendrick7304]

I just want to let you know how much I look forward to every one of your videos. Just the way you do them and I'm a car guy so I absolutely love them from beginning to end. Keep up the great work!

[@serhiitaranchuk7348]

Hello with Ukraine 😊

[@michals547]

Great job, Comrade. I am very impressed with your professionalism, precision of work and high-class workmanship of this old Ford.

[@mavision6525]

One of the best channels and formats on KZbin. Great video.

[@SimonWallwork]

Very nice. I like how you do the repairs, but preserve the grime!

[@dadgarage7966]

Very satisfying. The hour goes by so quickly. I watch and pause to look on Rock Auto to see the parts available for whatever you're working on. Like me, you fix things like you'll be the "next guy."

[@rogerdumais7637]

I really enjoy your show you do great work and don't talk us to death you get right in there and do what has to be done

[@edbenelli5374]

First car was a ‘62 Fairlane with a 170 and three-on-a-tree. Identical. Made all of these same repairs. Found out Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. This video makes me somewhat nostalgic; would consider a falcon if it were a two-door or Ranchero.

[@ralley145]

I did alot of the same things back in 1975. My 1st car was a Ford Fairlane 500 with a 289v8. It was very rusty, but the motor was great!

[@BerlinUpper]

Always a pleasure to watch you. I would probably get the projects from the hundredth to the thousandth and would have painted the entire trunk straight away.

[@Sofus65]

Love the format, no music, no talk and love your approach, fix it , don't fire the parts cannon at it. New subscriber here, hope your channel takes off 👍

[@karlmorton9881]

You are a gifted talent, I am fascinated by your videos. Better than watching you now what!

[@pablogatica581]

I love watching your videos...I learn from every detail...and I love the Ford Falcon. I send you a big hug from Argentina.

[@mikeroberts5646]

I love every video this guy does,People can learn from him,this is I,m guessing my 4th video and hope for more

[@scottpalmer3156]

Thermostat and flush radiator, and get a line wrench for brake lines! 👍

[@davegould3678]

Just great to watch. Your energy and skillset are impressive, contagious too. Since watching your videos, with amazing camera work too, I've been doing some spannering on my old Wolseley! First time in a while!! Thanks buddy.

Love those Videos from SimonFordman. It is for (old) car AND movie fans. Nice camera and nice film noir-atmosphere. Just noises, no music: Great!

I have falcon 61 2 doors Im from Guadalajara Mexico, was my father car for 40 years , thanks for sp much detail I can fix mi falcon, you have done great job so far , Saludos amigo

[@rogermcnooddle318]

To prevent the wire to spot in the contact tip don't over tight the roller, blow the liner with compress air before install a new spool and use some nozzle dip!😉

[@MrMurraypants]

Another masterpiece from our Simon Fordman. Are you planning on some body work for the Falcon or is it good to go? Whatever you decide I know we all can't wait for the next iteration of your saga.

[@PaodeCasa]

Very cool video! I really enjoy restoring machines and equipment at home! Hello from Brazil.

[@1963paul]

Another great video, nice to see spring has finally shown up, just like here in the UK. 🇬🇧 I'm driving my pickup tomorrow to a small place just outside Exeter, Devon, to pick up a replacement engine (FE 390), to replace my tired FE 360 in my '71 F250.

[@SimonFordman]

Very nice, I love the 390 FE’s.

[@andrewgrace4410]

Amazing craftsmanship Simon and great editing, love the cat 🙀

[@zerkfitting]

Exactly the way I do things minus all the swearing. Very satisfying watching you work on old iron. My little brother had a Falcon just like this one with an inline six. Good stuff.

[@thecharleylee]

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I'm sure you'd have a great voiceover voice but I really appreciate the ambient working sounds without any accompaniment. Really makes me feel like I'm watching and learning from a man of few words, oddly also very calming, despite how much hard work you're doing. found your One Last Drive video and now I'm hooked as a subscriber. Wish you all the best, peace be with you. ps at 13:51 that little exhaust hanger looked absolutely stunned!

[@SimonFordman]

Thanks for the support!

[@reformedmedia2705]

The Truck is not only a hauler, but used a welding table. Amazing!

[@steventerrell1205]

Dude, that Falcon will be flying high when you're done with it.

[@doutordelmar]

Very good job , congratulações !!! God bless you Brasil

[@ziggybowman6875]

31:07 I love the sound of those brake fluid fireballs

[@unciclistaenbuenosaires8287]

Such a noble and reliable car. Here in Argentina they where produced till mid 90s with stethic changes mostly.

[@chrishouse5753]

I wish my heater core was THAT easy to access... had to take out the entire dash!

My cat also like de pads. Good video, regards from Spain!

[@davidchristensen6908]

I see you have a cat that likes to”Cat Butt”. We do to he comes up and pokes you and talks to you and the presents the cat butt for a slapping. He loves it. Wonderful video how you set them up. Will be watching

[@deanriley1284]

Interesting to see a video work without jibber jabba! Great work and good camera shots! Everything clear and concise 👍👍👍

[@ptp79]

Hi Simon...Hello my friend. Love your videos.. Great content.. Quality production.... Love & Respect from Pakistan

[@parrott350]

I thought OMG, he bought a new muffler ! Just joking, Yeah I liked the making of the exhaust pipe. I have used coat hangers for tail pipe hangers. You can't get good metal coat hangers anymore. Fixing up the welder was good stuff! Kudos on showing having to take the fan off because of the alternator bracket. I do stuff like that all the time. Water pump looked good! You could have put Ford Taurus dual electric fans on there and gave the little Falcon an extra 20 horse power! wink wink. Great Cat also ! I wish I had your skill, Best regards, chuck

[@1977id]

I enjoy watching your channel! It’s great when in the age of everything digital and artificial they film such real things. The absence of music and comments gives space for thoughts. I like the speed of what is happening and the camera setup. Very beautiful shots of America nature make the video more vivid, especially if you have never been to this country. Interesting old cars and other devices. It’s cool that after fixing the car you can drive it (sometimes I watch the flexiny channel, but they only revive the car and take it for a short test drive, and then it’s not clear what they do with it). Good luck! I'm looking forward to new content) Thank you very much!

[@louiserhoads1289]

My 1st car was an early 1970s RX2 (Mazda), with the rotary engine.

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

These were known as the XL Ford Falcon. They were the second Ford Falcon model here, the for being the XK. Such a simple car.

[@kirucha]

It's obvious that you love your work. It looks very aesthetic

[@pks41805]

I believe I'm growing fond of the Falcon.

[@rgbigdog]

The Fords back then used what they called a doughnut gasket between the exhaust manifold and the down pipe that is why they have the long studs on the exhaust manifold, it takes up a little space.

Love your videos. Just wanted to say though that I dont know how much you like your camera, but the sensor probably isnt too happy about the welding arc.

[@Scott-z9u8b]

Good to see someone using the worlds most hated of all substances, anti-seize! At the refinery I worked at it was ok to kick someone’s dog, talk bad about someone’s family but if you didn’t use anti- seize you were treated as an outcast 😂

I wonder if Gopher Motors out of the cities, still remanufactures engines? I got a new 235 six for a 55 Chevy pickup from them about 43 years ago! It was fairly reasonable and was a good rebuild.

[@kuseetha.]

Oh man, just don't ever change the format of your videos, so perfect. I so want to buy myself a welding plant now. By the way, did what did you use on the threads of the three water pump bolts? Silicone sealant? Curious because those come in contact with water, so I am interested to know. Also, what spray do you use to scrub and clean the seats and the dashboard?

[@SimonFordman]

Thank you. I think I used just RTV on those bolts. I've been using sprayway glass cleaner on interior stuff.
