Excellent deal. It's rare to find a car that needs as little as it does. JD sure is maturing. He will have his own channel in no time.

[@wes11bravo]

Don't know if you're a dad or not, Norman (I suspect you are). For me, a milestone moment in fatherhood was when my daughter began to confidently engage in some good natured "bustin' balls" of her old man. It's all part of the process of your kid growing up, developing aspects of their own personality, and it's cool seeing JD do this with Dalton. Agree 100% JD will have his own successful channel before too long.

[@rich_edwards79]

$2400 for this beauty is an absolute steal. The headliner hasn't fallen, the seats are pristine and even the old tube radio works! But maybe I'm biased because the bodywork is in such amazing shape (especially for an unrestored car) and i *hate* doing bodywork. I'd much rather work on something with bad mechanicals and tgats in good cosmetic condition than vice versa.

I personally love the new Ford. My grandfather had that same car, same color,4 door same interior and all. It was really nice. I had one of my worse nightmares as a child and that car was my hiding place in the dream. This vlog was a real treat for me as I've told you before, watching you is almost like reliving my childhood. You look similar to what my father did when I was JDs age, smoking a cigarette whilst working on cars and teaching car repairs at the same time, uncle's and other family hanging out around cars. That's what we need in this country again. More car controls and less remote controls.

I cannot get over how nice that car is especially for that price. Great job!

[@keithrobertson6133]

That is an absolutely awesome car and in incredible condition. I hope you keep it and use it for more content. That interior is so cool. Cars back then had so much more character and style than cars today. They have their own unique personalities which makes the ownership experience something much more than just buying a set of wheels just to get you where you're going. Pity those days are gone but fantastic that you got that car and can take a step back in time to those good old days.

Even if JD doesn't continue with car rehab, he will certainly know how should the need arise.

[@KiwiStag74]

I'm not a Ford bloke by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm really taking a shine to the pair of '59s, mate. JD's beast still looks great and the Coral beast is such a fantastic example of a survivor. Hard to believe it sat for so long in the way the beast just got up and boogied like it was driven yesterday. Watching it do the long pulls from a distance while JD was filming from the side of the road was a magical thing to behold - even with a missing hubcap! Great video to watch, mate and a reminder than sometimes the old stuff is still far better to work with than the new, be it parts or the cars themselves. Shoes do take a few miles to wear back in on the drums and feel good than pads do on discs too. Had to remind myself of that fact just recently as well..... It's gotta be a proud moment to see the young fella working to correct a problem on his own vehicle too, eh Dalton? What I found particularly telling was that he can now lean over the front fenders and reach things in the engine bay and his feet still touch the ground, whereas when the Fairlane was built, he'd have to hike himself up onto the fender and balance himself there to work on it. They don't stay young (or little) forever, do they? I remember my youngest helping me with the brakes when she had to have the seat pulled right forward and hang onto the steering wheel to push the pedal. Now, she gets in, adjusts the seat back a touch and has a quick and / or sharp rejoinder for any comments I make, while comparing my classics unfavourably with her own! I can see that starting already and more so in your own future, eh....! All the best.

[@jasongreek2342]

Watching you beat those dents out of the rear quarter reminds me of an adventure last fall... I was on my way to the fire station responding to a call one night in "Megabomb III", the $500 Honda civic. I came up to the first crest on a hill, saw a deer, and said (out loud of course, to the deer on the side ov the road) "you'd better stay there. No f@#%ing chance I'll be able to stop if you-" And the bugger jumped right in front of me, landed on the hood and went up over the roof. I let off the brakes, car kept rolling straight... I touched the gas, motor still running... no signs of smoke or odd behaviour... no lights on the dash... so I just kept on going. It was a false alarm, so the first truck was already on its way back, so a buddy followed me back to see where the deer was, we found it about 30 feet off the road, dead. I spent the next morning prying up and beating on the upper rad support until it looked good-ish, then laid the hood on the lawn and started wailing on it with a 2x4 until it was straight enough to latch. If it weren't for the inner reinforcement on it I probably could've got it looking pretty decent... but it was good enough for a $500 car that would never pass another safety inspection. ...and not too much later, buddy shows up at the post office where my wife works and dropped off a bunch of fresh deer steaks and deer burger for us 😂

[@amichaelford8868]

I am impressed with the way you "Teach" JD about cars and life. There is no yelling, cursing but actually having patience and teaching. My dad was not very mechanically inclined so I didn't have any guidance. From an early age, about 5 years old, I liked taking things apart to figure out how they worked and trying to put them back together again. I work on my own car's and power equipment. What I don't know, I study and find out. It's great that JD has such a good teacher and mentor. You seem to have a lot of fun and work well together. Well Done.

[@jasonthiesen8699]

Just happened upon your video after watching another video about a 59' Ford. This brought back so many memories. My first car was a 59' Ford Custom 300. It had the rounded rear windshield, less chrome, the 4 chrome birds on the rear quarters, and mine had the 292 Y block V8. Very quirky and terrible top end oiler engine.. Normally I think they came with an inline 6 at this trim level. It was my grandparents car they bought brand new, handed down to my dad and driven to California from North Dakota in 69', then I started restoring it with my dad in about 85'. I graduated in 87' and drove my grandmother to my graduation in her old car at about 85% restored. I love that your son has one. They are such great cars and, yes, total tanks! Mine was two tone green with a medium green bottom and mint green roof. I still miss it. Loved watching you guys work on this one and it's great you both have father / son matching 59's! Oh, and you stole it for $2,400! If you can even find one out here in So Cal, you'll pay through the nose for it. Probably 5X what you paid for yours in its condition.

That is a very nice classic, and i think it deserves a right quarter, a pair of exhaust manifold gaskets, and tyres matching the car.

The 59 Galaxie 500 is on my very short list of favorite cars. This is my favorite color followed by the turquoise and colonial white combination.

,,, "Surf" blue Is a very nice factory color also, but hardly known about as it was rarely ordered.

Beautiful coral paint 59 ford galaxie glad see it is finally getting fixed hard to believe it got wrecked years ago and then was just parked and not touched to try to repair it.. and I like jd's blue and white galaxie with the 390 fe 4bbl even though I prefer the 352 because as i said basically the 360 and 390 are the same only the length of stroke is different..

I’ve had several FE’s and most have manifold leaks. If you can get the manifold off have it faced or sand it flat with your home set up. They warp and seal much better with a little machining

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

I resurfaced my FE manifolds on my uncle's harbor freight belt sander. It was just barely long enough to work, but I got the inner 2 ports within .002" of totally flat to the outer ports, and using the factory shim heat shields, have been totally leak free. I did 3 manifolds, since I had an extra, they were all horribly warped and super pitted, cleaned them all up no problem. It sure beat the $125 a piece resurface cost the machine shop wanted.

Great entertainment and an awesome looking car.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks! I think so too

[@susansanders597]

Totally enjoyed watching you and Jd, my daddy had a 59 hard top convertible when I was a kid fully loaded, shiny black! All chromed out wide white walls and red black and white tricolor with a 352 police interceptor! I think it may have been his pride and joy!!! Lol keep it up and look forward to seeing more!👍

I have two boys. My oldest had his first car, a VW bug that he and I worked on and made it a great car. He learned to work on VW's and in high school worked part time at a shop that rebuilt VW's. Today he is 54 years old and can do almost anything with a car, a house, or almost anything else he want's to. My second son who is 49 could care less, when something breaks on a car he takes it in. I really enjoy watching you work with your son as it is the best time and memory of your life.
