I am 66 years old. My Dad bought a a 1958 Ford Ranch wagon, two door when I was 5 with a blown 332 in it. He was in the Navy and we did not have a lot of money. Him and his friends swapped out the motor on the weekend. I was mad because I could not see over the fender! Thus started me on my journey with cars. I learned so much from my Dad and when I was in the Army. So many memories. Thank you for your do not quit, can do attitude and your skill. Keep them coming.

My dad was selling Fords in Willmar in 1962 and he had that exact same car in Chestnut Brown for one summer as his "Demonstrator". We drove it to Canada for our only full family vacation, pulling a travel trailer (Shasta - don't know how all 9 of us fit into that, maybe we also brought a tent). I think it was legal in Canada back then to have passengers in a trailer, and I recall riding for a bit. I got a little carsick. We went to Thunder Bay, but back then it was called Fort William & Port Arthur. Later we moved to California and he bought a 63 in red with a 352 I & then traded that for a 65 with a 390 in turquoise, both were 4 door hardtops I think. The center of those 62 tail lights always looked like communion cups to me. Thanks for this video

I owned a 62 Galaxie with factory 406 four-speed and 32 barrel carbs on it and I know a 62 quite well bumper-to-bumper and I also know the dashboard. Somebody put a lot of work into that car fitting the 63 dashboard in it long before it was parked I must admit I am impressed at the installation and the actually fit.

If you’re still running the gas that was in the tank, you might be bending pushrods because of that. I know it’s a newer gas tank, but modern gas sucks, and if it’s been in there a while it likes to get sticky. I’ve seen it happen on two other car KZbin channels where the car keeps bending pushrods and it turned out to be that weirdly sticky gas. It coats and binds up the valves, valve can’t open, pushrod gets bent. Best of luck, your videos are incredible!

^Exactly what I was going to say. I know he ran it dry, but if there was any nastiness in the bottom of the tank then it went through the engine. The tank walls could be coated in it and the fresh gas acts as a carrier for the gunk it washes off. The lifter didn’t seem to be the issue, so that’s the only theory I’ve got. :P

The brakes taking fluid and giving preassure first try, the innards of the gastank being in ok condition and not clogging the carburator, the backfire that turned into flames, and last but not least my favourite: the compression-tester needing a couple of taps to work correctly, saving you alot of hassle. You hade me guessing at every turn thinking this car was gonna need ALOT more work. Great video, Fordman!

It's almost like you're in my head Simon. Picked up a 1967 Plymouth Fury with my wife a few weeks ago, so similar to this. Big body sedan, no b pillars, and a total basket case. I don't often need inspiration to work on my projects, but you're helping some of the bigger problems it has feel not so big anymore. Also, putting out an engine fire without breaking your vow of silence? Dedication. Superb work as always.

I would've put that push rod on a flat surface & with a hammer, gently straightened it back out & used it. I've done it before & no problems going forward. My hat's off to you Simon for being so young & being as talented & knowledgeable about many things automotive. Welding too. Well done Simon.

The pushrod bent most probably because the valve stem got seized at some time. It happens when an engine stays years without being started. And good job, Simon!

What an absolutely beautiful video. I've watched hundreds of "will it run" videos in the past couple years. This is by far and away my favorite. Why speak when the video tells the story? The perspective makes it feel like you're wrenching with one of your buddies and riding along. I'll be binge watching your catalog after I'm done with this one. Bravo!

​@Geardrive427-ip8vj Yes. Great advice. I'm 47. I have lived in the US 19 years. 4 president's I think. I have 6 kids. I work 50+ hrs a week, salaried, retail. I get up and go to work and take care of my bills and family. Nothing has changed for me. Recession, presidential change, pandemic. Still working. Getting caught up in political stuff has done nothing for me. Love this channel. Think of everything these cars have "seen". Lol. Enjoy life. You only get the one.

Good to see the 'ole girl back on the road. I had a black with the same red interior as yours in 1971. She had a 406CID engine with a 650cfm Holley, ran beautiful but only got about 7 miles to the gallon, good thing I worked at a Shamrock station. Finally lost her when she got broadsided in an intersection when another car lost brakes at 45 mph. Minimal injuries to passengers but insurance totaled her and that was it. Hope you have better run with yours.

Jeszcze nie obejrzałem do końca ale myśłałem że restaurując tak stary samochód wymontujesz wszystkie podzespoły. Każdy osobno rozmontujesz, przejrzysz, wyczyścisz i naprawisz. Dokonasz Sprawdzenia ramy i karoserii pod kątem rdzy, pęknięć. Pomalujesz i zakonserwujesz. Do tak przygotowanej skorupy wmontujesz to co wcześniej wymontowałeś tak żeby auto wyglądało jak w dniu kiedy opuszczało fabrykę. I haven't looked at it all the way through yet, but I thought that when restoring such an old car, you would remove all the components. You would disassemble each one separately, inspect, clean and repair. You would check the frame and body for rust and cracks. You would paint and preserve. You would fit what you had previously removed into the shell prepared in this way, so that the car would look like the day it left the factory.
