People hook it up for you because you're a good guy your parents did a good job raising you

[@Canadiancarguy1987]

Cheers to that comment he's a good lad for sure

[@ECCS_2022]

Totally agree

[@joshp3239]

I had a 65 mustang in high school in 2012. It had 347 stroker with a T5 5 speed. This brought back memories of me working on mine. I now have a 69. Love the car.

[@jimf.625]

This young man is living the life. How cool is that.

[@Boots_And_Slicks14]

The first 15 seconds of this video remind of when I was growing up in the Sunland area back in the '90s. Totally recognize it. There was a lot less out there then and the end of Big Tujunga Cyn / Oro Vista was a good place to open it up or "test" our vehicles against other ones. As fun as carving corners up Big Tujunga Cyn is, be careful, almost got killed up there in my Comet many years ago, guard rail saved me and my car. It's not always just your car or your self you gotta worry about, it's other drivers to.

[@joshuaperry8602]

I'm just stoked to see there's a younger generation still into old school stuff.

[@nocomment2944]

THE MACHINE LOOKS GREAT AS IS.THE COLOUR ,THE STANCE,EVERYTHING.

[@JohnAnderson4242]

I love those skinny tires, this car needs nothing

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool upgrades. Good having friends like Dennis 👊

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks! Yes it is🏁

[@betosgarage]

0:22 I checked my phone lol

[@AB-hz3bo]

Seriously hope this dudes channel blows up big. Deserves it 10 times as much as the top car channels on here the effort put into each vid is very clear. You’ve got a fan in western NC bro!

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

My first car at sixteen was a 66 Mustang GT 289 K-code coupe. Fast & fun. Wish I still had it.

[@FootageFactory]

Ive never seen that pushrod tool. Thanks for showing me that!!

[@ignacios1562]

you have an awesom channel my man, i´m from Argentina, been a mustang fan my whole life and just bought a 66 manual coupe from the US. i´m here calming my anxiety watching your videos! hahaha, keep up the good work!

[@sirjames3494]

Nothing more badass than a green 65/8 mustang! Good job

[@jasonjorgensen4212]

I am 12 years old and have a 66 mustang coupe with the 289 and l love it. Can’t wait till I can drive it. Love your channel keep up the good work.

[@xmo552]

Fix stuff in this order: brakes Steering Suspension Driveline Engine and transmission Cosmetics last. Make it safe 1st. Congrats. I envy you.

[@Socalhagy]

Great to see you dialing that ‘Stang in. I recently added the Quick steering package to my ‘66 mustang. Something I’ve wanted to do since forever. It adds the final touches to that Shelbyized front end. Good luck David

[@FourSpeedFilms]

I’m jealous! That’s what my car needs

[@DM2006800]

Ben you are a credit to your generation. Keep up the good work. Built a 66 stang last summer for my wife to rip around in. Fun car brings back the good old days.

[@sidduke3172]

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to document and share your '67 Mustang experience.

[@hotrodray6802]

New cars had 2 throttle springs. Race cars usually have a strap over your foot so if the throttle sticks you can pull the pedal back.

[@Smrtazu]

Loving the progress on the Mustang. I always say that the best/worst part of loving your ride is that it's never done. Thanks for the update, Ben. Keep up the great work.

[@OkcHoodlum]

It's good to see that you back! I freaking love the mustang.

[@Flogknaw101]

oh yeah! Updates! let’s go!

[@joenels4356]

little 289 giving me gosebumps :)

[@crazyVrex]

cool Ride dude ! I also have a 65 Mustang Coupe 289. Its my first V8 and boyyy i love it. Keep up the good work, nice channel !

[@Locoandchooch]

I like seeing kids get down with the old rides.

[@AnkushRattan]

That's awesome this was a project both you and your father got to work on. You are really talented!

[@wakjob961]

I put a Stage II OpenTracker front suspension on my '65 last summer... You are correct, what a difference! Arning Drop is MUST. Got lots more to do to her...hopefully this year ;-) Looking forward to watching you project. CHEERS!

[@hotrodray6802]

Holman Moody invented the A arm drop and used it on the earliest Falcons that they raced. People call it Shelby but he didn't invent it

[@olikat8]

7" wide you can get some good rubber; may have to go to 16-17" wheels and drop the sidewall. It'll still look "Period" correct for most eyes and not look goofy. I did an old A-body Mopar and used a set of '16" Lincoln LSC "Turbine" wheels with good Yokohamas and utilized the 12" front rotors (with pin-style calipers) from the last of the B-body A-38 cop car. Common sense goes a long way, looks like you're doing it right!

[@NVRAMboi]

(edit) It's looking great buddy. I like the overall exterior appearance of it (kinda rough and ready and built to drive and have fun with). I don't know what your long range plan is, but I hope you don't paint it and make it "too pretty". I'm all for upgrading the safety equipment - that's smart and practical. Your car has a very cool character to it as is. Great video - thanks.

[@ExtinctSS]

Interesting you mention the valve covers with larger rocker arms. I actually made 4000 dollars off a 69 Camaro SS because the owner said it had a knock in the motor when it warmed up. Took it home sure enough someone swapped the valve covers to 3 7/8" and the rocker arms when the engine was at operating temperature would tap on the valve covers. 40$ trip to O Reilly's fixed it and I sold it soon after.

[@mr.rockatansky7075]

Can’t wait to see more of the car. Just got my 65 back from swapping out the c4 to a top loader and it’s about a thousand times more fun. Now we just need some nicer weather up here in the pnw.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Hell yeah

[@Thecraig909]

Nice seeing you back man!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Still waiting on my lens😂

[@Thecraig909]

Four Speed Films man them camera companies need to know the famous KZbinr they’re dealing with!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

😂😂

[@brodychristensen486]

Great video, because of you I got the Alden American coilovers for my 1966 fastback, can’t wait to take it to some canyons!

[@yvindandreassen6125]

I’ve also had that problem with the gaspedal getting stuck to the floor on my 67 mustang

[@jasonelliott8804]

Your spring or your throttle wire getting stuck check all your linkages might be to tight or to loose and hanging up just an idea

[@CaptainFALKEN]

The pony car it's meant to be. Great work on the springs and your new wide ovals. Car still looks awesome. That 289 will go.

[@petewitt2867]

Thanks Ben. Love your content + your attitude. I also love that you daily a classic - best way to live (even if you turn up late with black fingers from time to time).

[@stevenp3176]

Cool build so far.

[@KoreyConstable]

Really dig the patina on the car. I have a '66 Mustang in Nightmist Blue which is a very similar as yours. It spends most of it's life in the garage, but I hope to change that soon. Keep up these videos coming!

[@LivingOnCash]

I really like your car but what I like even more is to see young guys like yourself and your friends having interest in American muscle/pony cars.

[@eugenehovjacky803]

Its been awhile but well worth it Ben. Great re-cap of whats been happening, really enjoyed it !

[@michaelfox2989]

Car looks and sound good,,I 've got 65 teal green 302 /5.o 50 oz stuff..and same disc..Have fun..

[@ssenssel]

Even sweeter now!

[@kmnremtp]

Thanks for the two spring tip, I need to jump on that!

[@65stang98]

i want to get one of these and a c3 vette to restomod one day would be some fun projects. and they dont seem to be too expensive after looking online

[@supersportimpalass]

Really dig your car. I've always loved the old notchback Mustangs and the stance on yours is perfect. 👍

[@xmo552]

Wheels + tires + stance = 😍👌 Don't change it!

[@bandagefreak]

What a great kid - his folks must be proud :@)

[@BlackoutGarageMotorsports]

Also! That proportioning valve gave me issues on my 67 Camaro but when it did work It helped with keeping the rear from locking up

[@hotrodray6802]

Get a brass combination valve from a mid 70s Granada/ Maverick ahead of the prop valve. It works!! It not only limits rear pressure it delays the application as Ford intended. Probably won't need the adjustable valve.

[@hotrodray6802]

I've done several with Granada front discs.

[@impactmusclegarage799]

I really enjoy your videos young man. Thinking about that spring can be pretty scary. It happens sometimes. Glad all ended well. Keep up the great content!

[@Jedi391]

Good to see the Mustang back!

[@colesounds1367]

Finally found time to watch, awesome per usual!

[@r1lark]

Good video, and good basic changes to the car to make it better (without throwing hordes of money at it). Hot rodding at it best for sure!

[@alankahan6669]

Ben you continue to amaze me older ak

[@farmerjim-fat-man-do]

The Mustang is looking great. What size tires are you running? Wheel and tire combo looks perfect.

[@sim0n197]

Love it! Finally another video😍 intresting updates 😀

[@rafatrill]

Idk if u want to do it but if ur gutsy and not scared to custom fabricate. U can make or drill and tap ur master cylinder lid/cover and add a air nozzle to pressurize the system way better to take air out of a brake system idk why brake manufacturers dont think about that and make them

[@jasonkocinski2387]

Finally. Hope to see more stories soon. Good job

[@Feledwards]

Great video

[@jesusgutierrez1028]

Your videos motivated me to get a classic mustang. Great work son!

[@Viktorrhansen]

Still got a headache as we speak lol great video dude 🤘

[@StephanTheDane]

gosh vic, you really have a way of showing up where i least exspect it ! XD hmm.. maybe i should get an old muscle car myself, got a buddy who wants to sell me a foxbody stang ;) .. JK got a house and a kid on the way, so im locked down to mopeds 4 life XD tak for sidst, godt at se dit build :P

[@Viktorrhansen]

@@StephanTheDane haha yeah iam all around the globe lol mopeds for life xD! hvor var det vi så hinanden?

[@MrMarkpoole]

The Shelby drop works for Falcons too.I haven't checked to see if it was done on mine yet.Tires make a huge difference in the handling.When I had my '66 the only tires available were bias ply,and they weren't very good.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes it does. Kinda funny how the falcon and mustang are basically the same car. Cool stuff man

[@MrMarkpoole]

@@FourSpeedFilms To save money the Mustang was built using the Falcon platform.2005 was the first Mustang that wasn't based on any other car.

[@BigMikebno1]

The spring coming off and making the throttle stuck happened to my grandpa as well and my grandmother started yelling him to stop driving that fast because there were kids in the car 😂

[@dazasc3994]

man i love your vids, we are about the same age and it's nice to know i'm not the only young person willing to get their hands dirty and build an old school car the way they want to. Funny you mentioned the MT valve covers as i also just bought a pair for my vettes 350 lol

[@RacePrepKev]

Dennis is a awesome guy, worked on that 22 race truck in the background and his pro 2

[@fullthrottle2957]

Love the Mustang!!

[@pfriespotato119]

Awesome progress on the mustang, I'm looking at reinforcing the shock towers on my 67 Mercury Cougar.

[@hotrodray6802]

Big blocks came with reinforcement and more welding. The best thing to do is solid weld all the panels

[@Autofaze]

I love the old school m/t valve covers! Nice update video! Can't wait to see what 2020 brings

[@BuddhaC5]

Your a good dude bro, love the content and glad to see your following in the steps of some great men before you

[@web2yt488]

Great video...enjoyed all the details. Helpful.

[@kelr1148]

Need more videos like this! This was badass

[@israelpinal1645]

About godamn time ! 😅😅😅

[@FourSpeedFilms]

😂😂

[@toddadams8420]

That's real cool. Continued success partner!!

[@mickeyparson9778]

Cool car, we enjoy your videos! My first car was a 65 Coupe but with a 6 cylinder, 3 speed and a lot of rust since I lived in Minnesota! How much did you pay for the car originally? It seems to have a really good engine so good find!

[@robertgreer5938]

Great video Ben, I've made a bunch of upgrades to my mustang since we last talked. I'm super excited about Shelbyfest, it's coming up May 1st in Jefferson city Missouri. Should be the coolest thing ever. Catch you later. P.S. say hi to your dad for me.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I once tore apart my entire braking system in an all night wrench fest just so I could drive the 67 Mustang to work the next morning. Yes, I was in love with that car! I don't know if they are available for your car, but I recently found some disc brake pads made for tow vehicles. While towing my travel trailer with my van, it was kind of nerve racking while braking on long down grades but with these new pads, no more fading and everything stops straight now.

[@christianrod7154]

Love your content, only KZbind that puts out good content with old mustangs

[@brockdavis2569]

Also did a willwood conversion on my ‘66 mustang, sexy look!

[@ricardogomez-kt7tf]

I got a 65 mustang and also did a front brake disc conversion. I couldn't get the air out of the brake system. So I got a phoenix reverse brake bleeder from amazon.. it does work. Check them out. Good luck.

[@Ryan67rs]

Man that first 5 seconds sounds so AWESOME!! Now on to the rest of the video. HaHa Ryan.

[@Scrubworks]

Tbh I don't think the width of the tyres is so much the issue, it's probably more the tyre type. Those Firestones you have are extremely cool, but they're an old school tread, and you also have a huge amount of sidewall which will flex when you go round corners. I've found that by going up to a 16x7 inch wheel, your choice of 205/55R16 tyres is vast, you can even get Michelin Pilot Sports in that size, and those will transform any car you put them on. Also has the benefit of being able to take bigger brakes, should those ever be needed.

[@flatbroke_9246]

It’s getting there 👍👍👍

[@jasonbanuelos7569]

I need to fix my alternator on my 69 mustang. That’s rad you hung with greaser thoughts garage.

[@ORGANIZEDCoNfUsioN]

Nice work, just a little at a time.

I remember seeing the posting on the Old looking valve covers, was thinking about it but I guess you beat me to it.

[@johnmilner7603]

I think the next project you should do is to convert it into a fast back. Steve would approve.

[@RowdyMornings]

Keep going with your videos! Also, try looking for vintage lenses and a fotodiox adaptor for your camera. I’ll be doing just that with my 58 Vette

[@seanjohnson6899]

Hey Ben. Don't use rubber gaskets for valve covers or cork. My local race shop installed there blue ones that are made from different material and are super nice. Alittle more money but leak proof. (Valve cover gasket # VS13264T.

[@bmwv8182]

Hello from Europe, First of all I really like your videos and I really like that you use classic car for daily driver and not just for looking in garage. Now I have few questions bcs I like to have Mustang for daily driver: -How much cost you brake and suspension upgrade? -Will you upgrade AC? - Where the air blows inside? (only on middle area or on legs too?, I wonder bcs here we have winters and I don't want freeze to death :-) ) P.S. Sorry for my bad english it's not my first language... Thank you for answers and have a nice day.

[@hitthestreets8186]

solid video my dude! 👊👊
