I’m a locksmith for 20 years and it was good to me to see you pick that cylinder open. I have to say , 150 bucks is crazy high to make a key to that lock. We do that job for like 40 bucks if you already have the lock off. Well done you did good. Thanks for sharing

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah seems a little steep to me as well. I would have been happy to pay 50 bucks. But glad I ended up doing it instead. Didn't take very much time at all. Appreciate you tuning in. Thanks

[@chrisoakey9841]

Just swap those locks for solenoids. Then it can be pushing a hidden button to withdraw the bolt.

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Morning ! Am sorry too fans of the show makes no sense . A hold lot of money ????🧰🔧🪛⚒️📐

[@homemaintenancebyclive153]

Often the locks have a number on outside which a locksmith can convert to a key cutting

[@scrivens100]

$150 is a no thanks. $6.00 is what I pay when I bring the lock and key

[@TheHawke2112]

Chris is such a cool laid back guy working on his projects. I always look forward to a new video. Great content

[@glennsepelak5113]

I love this channel. The way you talk to the camera and your personality, I feel like we're friends. Always looking forward to your videos. Thank you so much.

[@zypherzozen]

IMO you make some of the best mechanical content on KZbin, so down to earth, thorough but no huge budgets and really relatable. Top job!

[@RogerMudd-gh4ms]

I had a yellow 66 V8 coupe when I was 16. Didn't have any idea how good I had it! Chris, you're the hardest working man on the tube.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

That's a slick ride to have that 16 years old! Super cool. And thanks, I appreciate you tuning in

[@dougcain832]

Good video my brother, you and your girl are amazing couple

[@garycamara9955]

I had a 65 Mustang, 4spd, 4bbl factory dual exhausts. It was dark blue metallic. Factory Kelsey Hayes wheels. I put a set of konis on it.. and a one inch front sway bar, a pair of cut down 429 Tbird springs in front a pair or Mayer racing rear springs, and rear sway bar, dropped the front A arms an inch (ala Shelby) lowered it 2 inches

My vote would be to reuse the original heads, but whatever you decide on, I'll be hear to watch 👍

The 289 was a little gem of an engine, always worth saving.

[@jeffhamilton2942]

Keep that engine original! It's nice to see you saveing this mustang and digging deeper in to a project as far as fixing the structural rust and rebuilding motor it really deserves to be back on the road again and all of the cool cars you have you pick this one to fix you must really have a soft spot for this mustang😊

[@brucevallee5623]

You already have the 289 apart. Replace valves, guides and regrind the seats new lifters and cam and rod bearings and main bearings, rings and water pump and enjoy it for years to come

[@alainbrisebois8334]

Yea...!

[@stanciotola6632]

100%

[@p9raceway759]

Replace with larger displacement engine for more smiles per mile

[@doctorprick2843]

I agree but if ya get a cam , get a double roller and use the 4 degree advance of cam timing to make it dig lig like hell on the bottom end, and hard seats and valve too.

[@ecannon649]

I love that roll back, it has so much going for it. It is definitely worth the time and money spent.

[@chrisoakey9841]

It needs more boost.

[@RyanLeeProductions]

I really like your content man. Your "get after it" mentality when it comes to fixing problems and maintaining things is inspiring. Keep up the good work my friend

[@tomfogarty9664]

I was amazed that Chris repaired the rear brake cylinder on the truck at night yet, gets it done and then the front cylinder let go. If that happened to me the whole neighborhood would have known about it. Having such patience is priceless

[@vincentmannelli2258]

OMG ! LOL! Did Gus really get you back your tennis ball from the other side of that tall fence???? That is so cool. Go Gooseman!!!! I never miss your vids. I really enjoy them.

Chris, keep her all original. She’s a classy classic.✌️

[@thomasgoolsby8661]

I think you should stick with the 289 heads. Do the valve job and it should be just fine. I am glad you are getting the frame and putting this back on the road.

[@jeffreylucas2524]

You did the right thing taking the car to Ben. I have been a fan of his channel for years, and he is so meticulous with his work. A real craftsman is hard to find these days, and he is one of the best .

Right in time. I should be sleeping but here i am watching my fav channel. I work tomorrow, cant wait to explain to my boss why i feel sleepy coz i been acquiring some knowledge overnight. 😂😂😂😂

Old school hardware stores usually sell better quality but a little higher price but it’s usually worth the difference

[@dusty1308]

This is the Best mechanic based channel on KZbin. You do a great job , Love your content Chris !!

[@ibobeko4309]

You need to watch Pole Barn Garage, that guy there is funny and he is at least 10 times crazier and his GTO build is just insane. Or South Main Auto LLC, the repair guy there is more on the technical side but very good.

[@Tacticaltig68]

Keep it all original Chris. The distributor was a necessary part to discard due to it being stuck. The Gus man is always great to see. Keep up the great content bro. Get that Rustang cruisin’ again. 🇺🇸

[@gregsabo6371]

So happy to see the mustang get some love! Awesome work Chris!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Me too! And thanks

[@CaptainAtSea]

Hell yeah! I’ve noticed that you add different substances to oil, fuel, and coolant. You often mention the product names, but not what they actually do. Unfortunately, we don’t have the same products in my country. Could you create a video or explain what you’re adding and in which situations? 😊 As always love your content

[@GreyRockOne]

Good video! Keep the Mustang stock, I SO miss those old mom & pop hardware stores, glad you're supporting them. Thanks Chris

[@imnotamused23]

Whatever you do, do not get rid of that rollback. You'll never find another one like it, that thing is super cool and one of kind. Thanks for all the entertainment the past couple of years. Love watching your channel grow!

[@zvarre2]

Yes keep it, if you need put a banks kit or a turbo from a 6.5 liter diesel, gives some power and even a little better fueleconomy 👍

[@davidbryant5875]

He will sell it .. guaranteed.. never keeps anything long.

[@axemanfishing2703]

LOVE the RUSTANG. Also love that you are leaving the original condition rust/paint the WAY it IS.

[@user-mm7xr8if1u]

I do love shiny resto paint jobs on classic cars. But at the same time, I love old, crusty-rusty patina. You can take the same car--pimp it out or leave it looking like crap--I love both looks.

[@user-mm7xr8if1u]

Thank you for the reply! Way I think, the shiny car says it's been to the beauty salon. That same crap car says, yes, I'm old and ugly--but I have many life stories..Be it pretty or crap, we are ressurrected!

[@jeremiahgrogan5963]

Super excited about this Mustang! And that rollback is a great truck to have still can't believe it's 4x4 haha love it! Glad you kept the diesel!

[@duncanmacrae6384]

You might look into going with a T-5 trans instead of the Toploader. It's a great trans, but, unless you really get a find, it's spendy. Then, you can put some lower gears and a locking diff in. Even if you rebuild the 289 heads with the 2 BBL and a dual exhaust, it'll seem as fast as your later GT. Looking forward to seeing more of all the Mustangs!

[@mtrgv]

Very smart decision to get the Mustang floor pan/frame rails removed and replaced at Petersons. I would also contract Petersons to do the front suspension rust repair on the 85 GT Mustang. That rollback will come in handy for all kinds of jobs.

[@awakeariseandwatch5976]

Great video. replace valves that you need toa d use original heads is what I would do. Glad you are fixing the 67 up. God bless

[@user-zv7bh9iu4x]

Hey Chris, great job on the mustang, keep the original heads!! also keep the flatbed, it's great that you've already used it several times!! Gus still needs his own channel!!

[@dmacarthur5356]

Everything is restorable, it's just a matter of money 😂

[@mitchstaff8281]

@@dmacarthur5356 I did say affordable. It doesn't have to be a rotisserie job. Especially on a coupe.

[@KPaul7]

I'd say if your going to use the original engine. Do a valve job if it's 40% savings or more then new aluminum ones. Throw in some rod bearings and send it. That's just my opinion but your choices are more educated. I love your channel ❤️

[@drowsy4400]

Ben knows everything about those cars! And his garage was sweet!

Can't get a better man to do the metal work. I've been following Peterson's for a long time. Just clean heads, reseat valves hone out cylinder walls, new bearings, timing chain and keep the engine original.

Awesome content Chris. Can't forget that killer camera woman either. Gus the little mastermind of be easy.

[@guiart4728]

I vote for new valves and keeping it stock if the rest makes sense. Love the truck! What a find!

New heads would be an improvement. Especially on a 289.

I’ll come out of my home studio 50 miles n/e of Chicago to take a break and treat myself to your videos….. You’re like a dam neurosurgeon with those cars!!!!… lol Somehow….. restoring, and upgrading tangible objects is ….. similar to writing and rewriting pieces of music…. I could skimp on a tune that sounds ok…… or I can tear the bridge or chorus or verse down and give it the quality makeover it deserves……. true…. most won’t know what under that musical “hood”….. but…. Harmonically and aesthetically….. it works 10 times better……!! Anyway, as a little side note: If I’m not mistaken; Lee Iacocca drew the first plans for the Ford Mustang back in 64 when working for Ole Henry Ford….. I believe Ford fired him … and rehired him…… ?? ( don’t quote me..👀 ) he went on to become President of the company! Anyway Thanks for the inspiration.. Hug Gus and Jen for us all…… and…..

Those old blue NJ plates just hit different.

[@mazdarx7887]

Leave the 289 as stock as possible, they are goo daily drivers. Just do a nice rebuild, nothing fancy, rings, bearings, pumps Look for a re-valving kit, with valve. spring. keepers. and rockers The two barrel, is good enough as a daily driver, they did it for years. I wouldn't bother with a 4 barrel unless you were going to tow a trailer If I were considering a carb swap, I'd go for a EFI kit but that pricy

[@michaeltomecko4874]

I have so much respect for you it's amazing how well you are able to get so many repairs,errands, jogs with gus and have such a healthy relationship with your lady friend Jen!! I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your videos very much I've been a European tech for a little over 20years and .an when I get off I want to shower and chill lol watching you has made me realize I should try to be the same way so thanks so much for some inspiration it means alot!!!

[@louissabo3191]

Chris well done. Clearly your garage upgrade has made your work much more productive. Will eagerly watch for next episode of rustang.

[@joshb124]

That was classic NNKH. Loved it, especially the motor teardown. I’d leave the stock heads on it for now. Seems quite easy to work on. Maybe you can score some oem valves for the stock heads. If anything needs a turbo it’s the roll back.

[@LukesJukes]

Recondition the 289, you’ll decrease sale value any other way. Contact COMP CAMS, ask them to sponsor a factory-like cam for the 289 with a slight bit more duration. Get the head and deck surfaced, have hardened seats installed and work in new valves. You and the next owner will thank you later! 🔥

[@LukesJukes]

Oh, naturally replace the collapsed lifters and have new pushrods in with the new cam. That went without saying but I know someone will point this out 😂

[@echoman6358]

My opinion, keep the old heads. Leave the Mustang/Rustang as OG as possible. Rebuild is better than replace when you can. Love the Channel Chris!

[@ghislainboudreau6259]

Pleased to see you remove the girl from the side door. The right thing to do. Jen is a real treasure. Respect.

[@tx6642]

Chris- Stick with the 289 heads. Get a decent valve job and new valves and springs. An aluminum intake and a small 500-600 cfm 4bbl. will really wake up that motor. Also a T-5 transmission would be a good choice (the same trans that is in your Fox body Mustang) if you cant find a cheap 4 speed.

[@roaddawg831]

Exactly!

[@dannyjamison8337]

I'd be looking for some new valves and reuse the old heads. The 302 heads are okay, but only if you're using higher domed Pistons. The last thing you want to do is lower the compression ratio! Plus, you're not gaining any flow if the intake valves are the same size and ports are the same size. As for turbocharging.. please don't. Also, I could spend all day walking through those old style hardware stores!

[@shaneh3773]

I'd love to see you do a collaboration for the engine rebuild using the 302 parts. Maybe there's a hack to use those parts and not lose compression. Either way, I'm loving your channel! Keep up the good work and you'll have your own camera crew!!

[@anthonyblacker8471]

I think that rollback is probably going to end up being one of the most valuable tools you've gotten in a long time. It's SO nice to not have to trailers something and deal with all that, especially in rain or over a long distance. I'm super happy you got that thing. Also, good call pulling the ladies off the side.. you have one of the best women on the internet Chris!!!
