You want to sell that control valve?

[@calvincooley1074]

Have you ever thought about using some small bolts/screws to use in the centercap holes? Does ARP make any that aare that small? IMO that would look kool!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

If you want the valve and link together...maybe $50? It was rebuilt a few years ago. Email me at [e-mail]

Nice Vid Just wondering how much ya get your mustang for Since I'm currently saving up for one but it's hard to find one cuz all Canadian cars rust so fast might just get one from down south

[@PRRrailfan]

Love seeing progress on the Mustang. The wheels look great!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks Sean!

[@deankennedy9803]

Love all your content mate, I’m from the uk and you have made me go for my dream car 1966 chevelle at 25 years old

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool Dean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

That’s awesome Dean! Keep it up

[@Ashfielder]

Very bold choice for the UK, congratulations on securing your dream car already.

[@WyoCutlass71]

Nice man! I lived over in Scotland for a couple years and got to know some real cool petrol heads over there that were into American muscle. Was your car already there or did you import it yourself?

[@sudarshan8959]

I love the simplicity of these videos.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Much appreciated!

[@boblister665]

I got my license in 1969 when these were fairly new cars. I had a 63 Comet that I swapped the 6 cylinder for a 289. Good to see young people loving our old cars. I still am doing auto body at 69 years old

[@mattv.7402]

Glad to see that centerlink get replaced! And thanks for showing the steering box greasing. I need to do the same and have never actually seen what's involved. I swear everyone made it sound so much more complicated somehow.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks! Yeah it’s super easy!

[@hotrodray6802]

I took the cap off mine and packed it completely full of Mobil 1 grease using a spoon. 70k miles and 28 yrs ago. Still hummin along.

[@MrRogerlee123]

Same, way better than reading old forum threads from the 90’s! Added to the to-do list for 65 as well. I’m on the fence on adjusting my steering box to take out some slack ( I have a lot of play in my wheel from the box), any chance you guys have input? I know it’s as easy as loosening the center nut and turning the flat a quarter, but heard the gears may be soft and strip in a turn. Ben, huge fan since I got my 65 around the same time as you!

[@TX_Blake]

Huge improvement on the wheels man! Glad you’re embracing the good part of planning and improving things. That’s half the fun.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Much appreciated Blake

[@mrmoss149]

Ben- it's ALWAYS something. That's why we love the cars. We build, thrash, break & then repair/ improve and then repeat.

Very nice! The wheels look great, I like the simple paint job on them, they look good. Also, thanks for the info on the steering box grease, I will need to do the same and it's great to see how it's done.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Awesome! Thanks Andy

[@arodderz]

Looks great man. And don't worry. With older rides, the " wth is that burnt smell, or where the hell is that noise coming from"? Is part of the fun.👍

[@HelgeHamburg]

I really like this "magnesium look". I've also treated my wheels with graphite spray and a few other tricks. With the paint chips, etc. It looks very authentic.

[@rickeymitchell8620]

Great job Ben! When you own a classic car and not working on it, you are not having fun.

[@noddynoodle7060]

You and your family's content is really cool. It's well recorded and well presented. I do like the 'can do' small upgrades on the Mustang. Showing everyone that big bucks aren't necessary.👍

[@bryanmulligan5319]

I've always been a foxbody guy, but your vids inspired me to sell the fox and buy a 64.5. I haven't regretted the decision for one second.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Crazy! Enjoy it man!

[@lukasgarage956]

We had a similar problem with the driveway, stop by a hardware store and get a 1" thick piece of hard rubber like a cutting board, obviously large enough for your lift to roll/rest on works like a champ..

[@johnjuarez8005]

Ben, I think some flat center caps painted the same color would look cool on your car. I know they are made for your rims.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Maybe if I get another set! I need a drag racing pair

[@jlacc1]

That was good you to listen to our comment about the dangers in using the steering control valve as a non functioning P.S. center arm steering pivot joint.

[@the-driver-66]

Hi, I’m from the uk and have owned Mustangs since I was 19, I have had a ‘66 for the last 12 years and wondered what type of tacho you have on your car, it looks right at home! I enjoy your videos, keep it up!

Love those tires. I'd like to put some on my 65 f100 but man they are spendy. Cool to see you and your dad working together on your stang.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thank you! They are such cool looking tires

[@jonathand3613]

Just installed the Alden American coilovers on my 65 after watching 1 of your vids 😀

[@brian4575]

Happy to see you got the manual center link on, and that and the greasing the steering box took care of the play, awesome 👍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

More to come in this Wednesday’s video

I must admit to my complete ignorance when it comes to greasing the steering box. Had my car for 13 years now and did it the first time upon seeing that video. Made quite a difference IMO. Great content Ben!!!!

[@Chunkerdunkers12]

Looks good! Also nice watch!

[@danielscott6787]

Another great video. You remind me of me when younger. BTW. If your Dad needs any parts for the 1960 Starliner I know of one here in Central S.C. in a private "junkyard"!

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have your alignment checked now. Used to go to Tyerman's down the street from you years ago, they still had all the cool old equipment then.

[@mustangron3445]

Rockn' and a rolln' 😌

[@kyleallen438]

The new wheel color looks good. Glad you went to manual steering. Now you can remove the bracket on the frame where the power steering was on the drivers side. Just so you know, the steering box uses gear oil/lube 85-90 wt. Unfortunately you will need to remove the steering box from the car to clean out all the grease. What I have seen happen is the grease does not lube the bearings correctly in the box and will wear out. Check your shop manual and you will see what I am talking about. Do really enjoy the videos.

[@tork62077]

Love that car bro!!!! 😍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks!

[@davevan8864]

The wheels look good. I had my 'Daisy' mags powder coated, not cheap and the coater forgot to plug the lug holes so I got to grind those clean. Your way may be better. I have not seen a power steering center link like that. Good catch.....I have to look up what it was. Hang in there.....did aomething burn???

Cool! No nothing was burning jaha

That's the ups an downs of a older car,but at least u can work on it ,an your dad or gramps can be on ur back too help u thru things ,an look at the experience ur getting too know ur car,good or bad their great fun,an great stories..great color choice,still looks killer,,pop sell the food yet ???

Thanks for the support Kyle!

[@ironkid65]

Those Torque Thrust Ds will really POP is you polish the rims. It's a lot of elbow grease but it' worth the effort. I have an Ivy green coopay I ordered in March of '65 and it was assembled on April Fool's Day. Good luck, huh ? In '67 I bought a set of ET UNILUGs (same style as the Americans) they were $19 a piece at a Goodyear store.

[@jeffpbillings7698]

You guys have the coolest cars.. love the wide ovals on the car. That brings back a lot of memories. My wife had a 66 coupe when we got married. Like a fool I sold it and got her a new car. When it comes up in conversation now it`s not about I bought her a new car it` always he sold my Mustang.. You said your Dad is parting with the Galaxie. That`s one of my dreamcars. I just wouldnt do it. Here on the east coast you would have to pay a small fortune to get a car that cool. 1960 Galaxie`s are hard to come by here in North Carolina. Most of them rusted away years ago. That`s why I drive an 85 Foxbody and and a 2011 Shelby GT500. I would probally trade them both if I could find the right projects. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy the vlogs.

The best thing you could do for the longevity of the mustang if you have not yet is rewire the whole car. Have fun with it!

[@bostonmike9003]

What size wheels and tires are you running? Do they rub? Thank you

[@adambedol6006]

I have manual steering in my '66 and have been thinking of putting in power. But what you're telling me is I should just put new grease in the grease box? :D

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Adding grease won’t make it as easy as power steering haha. It will just make it smoother. It’s a cheap thing to do before switching out to power…so it can’t hurt if you want to try

[@mattrachwal2524]

Are you goin to paint the car or fix the color or just keeping it like that ???

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Keeping it like this for now. It’s nice to not have to care about the paint when working on it. Maybe one day I’ll paint it but that’s a lot of money…just satin Ivy green

[@dadsrustorations5103]

To tighten the steering box loosen that nut with the screw in the middle. Turn it right to tighten the steering then lock the nut down. Should take the slop out of it.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks!

[@dsrgarage]

If you still have play in the wheel you could try to tighten the steering box if you haven’t already. The bolt sticking out with the nut on top is the adjustment for it. You don’t want to over tighten it so make sure to do a little research first but essentially you just loosen the nut then turn the bolt down into the box then tighten the nut back up to lock it down from moving

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

You might want to try a 14” steering wheel to get a better feel.

By not taking care of it and lots of spray paint😂

@@FourSpeedFilms oh ok thanks i thought you like sanded down the original paint and just left it i like the rougher looking paint job compared to the show car paint job

[@TheLuckyone760]

You can also adjust the steering box with that little slot screw at the top. All Saginaw boxes are the same. Just loosen the retaining nut adjust accordingly. Will help out a lot. Box being so dry might just be the right time to replace it.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

I’m going to do that rn haha

[@mrmoss149]

Next step a paint and it does not need a show quality paint job. But keep it Ivy green and flat back hood. My 65 Fastback is a Caspian blue with the Shelby style hood in flat black and all the way to the top of the fenders " Trans-Am style "

[@joncalon6014]

Whats your wheel and tire combo brotha?

[@crazycaseyscustoms]

Is that paint really as dull as it looked on film, or is it more glossy? I used that matte clear on some other wheels and I felt like it came out pretty shiny. I’m getting ready to try Rustoleum’s “chalked” paint on a set…I can’t make up my mind if I’m going to shoot the center, or the whole wheel. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

[@gthompson8464]

You can adjust the steering sensitivity with the screw and nut in the middle of the box my guy

[@FourSpeedFilms]

[@dannymcgirr]

@Ben - how long did it take to do that center link swap every with the problems you ran into? Did you go with any new bushings or anything as well when swapping it over? Going to do the same thing to mine next weekend and want to make sure I've got everything in order.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

It took me a few days but I was filming so it shouldn’t take you as long. I only had to replace one bushing. I also greased everything up too!

[@RobertSiwik1968]

Great job my man I did the same to my steering box the wheels look great next time if you have a stuck ball or tie rod or anything on your steering get two big hammers and smack both sides at the same time it will most of the time pop free. One question why are there two washers on the one joint
