More 1965 Ford Mustang Transmission Drama! Replacing The Transmission Seals! | Part 11

[@troysgarage]

Binge watching and I think I’m almost all caught up. Congrats on the channel success. I recently crossed the 20k mark. You’ll get there and probably pass me up. Keep going!

[@210_Today]

It’s amazing the amount of knowledge that gets lost when we loose our old timers and skilled tradesmen. Glade they are passing it down to next gens 👏

[@Jstme303]

What you said about getting overwhelmed is so true, so many projects end up for sale unfinished because of it.

[@ScottKeyy]

You look like Jeff from community! (in the best way possible)

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Hahah thanks, you're not the first person to tell me this

[@garrycruz8429]

Moments such as this prove that it is worth it especially for a mustang , all great things will be hard but in the long run it will be all good and for a great automobile such as a mustang!

Really enjoy the Mustang restoration videos and how you go the extra mile to make your car look and operate better than new. Too many videos that get it running and driving just for content but do nothing to restore the Beauty of these older Mustangs to what they deserve, I owned a 1966 model when i was 17 years old,had to buy it from my Dad,it was his work car and had a few dents and miles, We enjoyed fixing every one together. I will always remember him and our Mustang!! Make this one Beautiful again,

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thank you! That's the plan!

[@davidpowell5137]

New Subscriber here, and getting overwhelmed with a project is part of the project itself. I've got a 67 GTO that I started on in 2013! There are 3 pieces of original sheet metal on the car. At one point, I walked away from it for almost 6 months and thought about selling it. But, it's not costing you any money for it to sit in your garage so if you need a break, take one. Great job with the videos, keep it up.

[@morganleblanc730]

Great job. I hate automatics in vintage mustangs. Had two. They are a pain as you demonstrated.

[@buckythomas3070]

Looking forward to the brakes video, I'm about to do the same to my T-bird

[@davedoughty1213]

Your skills are amazing and I like how you are so casual about projects you undertake. I remember working on my 65 Ford Mustang Fastback C4 during the 53 years that I’ve been driving it. You should have zerk fittings installed on the U joints while you have the drive shaft out. The car is really coming along!!! You must have been an engineer in another life!!! Your attention to detail is what will make this car really stand out!! Keep up the great work!! Thanks for sharing your story!!!

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and support! 🙏🙏

[@masonloh1411]

If you don't have a Shop Manual - it helps on future repairs like the trans seal. they have manuals on C.D. or downloads.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

I ended up buying one after that! It's already helped me a bunch!

[@garrycruz8429]

oh I wanted to add the last video I remember was about the brakes so did you get into that and I haven't noticed that video ! ? PS I wanted to add that what you do to that mustang is what most people to do omega watch from the same area too! Fix it up and wear it LOL

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Brakes will be in the next video!

[@oscarvaldez9157]

Muy interesantes tus vídeos y muy ilustrativos enseñas que se pueden hacer las cosas con pocos recursos y sin ser especialista en el tema, sólo que deberías ponerle número a tus vídeos saludos

[@rocioaguileraramirez3930]

Let me translate this one for you if you don't mind: "Your videos are very interesting. You're proving that you can get things done with little resources and without being a specialist in the subject .my only suggestion would be to enumerate your videos". (I agree with him on this one, it would be a lot easier to follow). Can't wait to see the final result!!!.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

muchas gracias!

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

@@rocioaguileraramirez3930 Thanks! Yeah I should definitely put number on them, so they're easier to follow! Haha

[@generalfishie3063]

Watching this as I’m sitting in the engine bay of my ‘66 trying to get brake lines in. And yeah the license plate rule kinda dumb but it is what it is I guess. Love the vid tho! Appreciate the guideness!

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

That's awesome! I'm about to start on the brakes in a day or two, that's going to be my next video!

[@garrycruz8429]

ok I will wait for the next video , it was getting good so I had to ask LOL

[@jjdavis1209]

What grit are you using to wire wheel the fender? Was it a braided wire? If so, can you tell me where you got it?! Also, could you tell me what corded rigid drill you are using? The forums I read say wire wheeling the metal on the body produces too much heat and can warp, have you had any problems with that?

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

I'm using a 120 grit Nylon wheel from Harbor Freight. I use them on everything b/c they are much soft and do not distort or scratch the metal like a wire wheel can. I haven't had an issue with it distorting the metal, but you just have to keep it moving. I'm not sure exactly what the model of Rigid corded drill I'm using. I was one of the cheapest ones they had at the time and it's held up for a long time!

[@89hybrid88]

I’m in NorCal brother. Where are you out of ? Loving the content as I am a 65 owner also.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

I'm in SoCal! Thanks so much!

[@JohnCarey1963Jag]

replace the drive shaft universal joints too while you have it out of the car.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Definitely! They are coming in the mail today!

[@yashtiwari2729]

Your content is amazing, just that if video includes more of car footage it would be great

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Thank you for watching and thanks for the feedback!

[@شاهینافشاری-غ3ع]

خیلی خیلی زیبا ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SouthernBuilds]

After watching this I am now terrified of my transmission.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Haha, I was super nervous about digging into it at first, but once I did, it wasn't that bad. The only bad part about it is working in the confined space. If you're able to lift the car a decent amount, then it's much easier to work on!

[@aaronwolk998]

Upgrade the master cylinder to a daul reservoir, and the steering column to the collapsible style, your life's worth more than the cost. If that's a power steering car, upgrade to the borgenson conversion unit, it's only a couple hundred more than fixing the factory ram style system, and they aren't worth fixing. Roller spring perches are totally worth it. Finally, the custom auto sound vintage looking units are a pain to install but definitely an awesome upgrade. Anyway, that's my experience with my old ford.

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

I definitely plan on doing some of those things! Thanks!

[@aaronwolk998]

@VanHoutenBuilds sweet, glad I came across your channel, looking forward to seeing more.

[@williamdozier5190]

Buy an easy lift, for around $1700 you can buy the 7000 model that will allow you enough room to work

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

Yeah I've though about it, the only problem is that the garage ceiling beams are super low and so I wouldn't get much clearance at all. Definitely going to grab one for my next shop space.

[@joeore]

Upload longer vids

[@ladukie69]

are you a professional mechanic ?

[@VanHoutenBuilds]

No, just a youtube "mechanic" haha. Trying to learn!

[@joeharing9945]

Let it leak......catcher dish on the floor.

[@michelereed8589]
