The Six: YEAR ONE - 1966 Mustang Revival

A budget revival of a rough 6-cylinder '66 Ford Mustang, off the road since the '80s. It won't be shiny. It won't be fast.
Documentation of all the fumbling around I did in 2022. This video is an edit of the first 18 episodes - 90 minutes of footage cut down to a tight 55.
You can continue watching at episode 19: • The Six 19 - 1966 Must...

I love this kind of videos : With no voice!

[@umangu]

One of the most interesting mustang videos I have seen. Never seen anyone restore a car with so much rust. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project.

[@SubjectiveFunny]

What a man for taking on a project like this. You are a brave soul! Thank you so much for taking us along with you!

[@mattbrown7365]

I've been clean and sober off the project car kick for almost 2 years. 0 project cars. Your video was so enjoyable to watch I started to look for another project and happened to Find a complete 66 coronet 2 door with minimal rust, for $1200. I just bought it this morning. Thanks...allot. 🤣

[@tompappalardo]

hell yeah!

[@TonySoto]

Always have a tremendous amount of respect for people that restore classics. There may be tons of them out there but unless they're well cared for, we don't see them out as often. Rough year but so much work done. Keep it up.

[@fraserobrien3828]

[@Beer-can_full_of_toes]

Here I am sitting in my truck before work watching you go through it with a box of parts for my six sitting shotgun. I have been cursing whoever worked on the car most of the way. Random wires that go nowhere and other half assed work. The battery wires were reversed black on pos red on neg and I didn’t notice til I had already drained all of the magic smoke fluid from the alternator.

[@markhagge8646]

Great video and a great car! I'm looking forward to following your progress.

[@jrmrencso8716]

Good progress in one year, most people wouldn't touch this car, look forward to the next year!

[@Carlos-hn8mu]

You sure took on a big job.but glad to see that someone is willing to bring back a old car to life.👍

[@hughphillips67Mustang]

I feel your pain my friend. I've restored they rust buckets for over 40 years. Not much I haven't seen. The frustration is always worth it in the end. Even when it feels like the end will never come. Keep in there. Your doing great!!!

[@TX_Blake]

F-bomb count: 16.5 Keep up the good work sir. Highly entertaining.

[@Mustangcat429]

It’s great to see another classic mustang come back to life ! Great video

[@fehuthel]

Enjoyed the minimalist approach to narrating and greatly enjoyed this video. The spring going flying and subsequent “f**ker” at 48:36 was me on every project I’ve ever done. 😂

[@paulsummers2640]

Pretty f'n enjoyable video. Not one busted knuckle.....yet

[@DD-yc5dl]

lol love the spray paint over tape technique

[@carart713]

Whata good find

[@hughphillips67Mustang]

I think it is great to see I'm not the only one who does the best they can and just wants a car to enjoy. Without spending 10's of thousands of dollars to make it perfect. Just get them back on the road and enjoy them. That's what it's all about in the end.

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Keep at it, Mustangs rock ! Get some floors from Dynacorn.

[@ripr7248]

Was very easy to watch. Looking forward to the next and the transformation

[@lancehuffman2393]

You made it happen brother you are the truth that is one way to get it done😊

[@duskintheforest584]

My '66 Mustang is a Frankenstein. Per sn it's supposed to be a standard with 289. That'd make it 5 lug rear and front underpinnings. It's a 6 cylinder, had an automatic with 4 lug wheels. It came with headers and a two barrel carburetor conversion. After finding the clutch pedal tucked up under the carpet, I just had to convert it back to manual. Best decision ever! I can get good enough performance to beat many metric wanna be racers.

[@davidnelson6893]

A cool car wow

[@user-jq2ng5nr8x]

ДУЖЕ ТЯЖКО ТАКЕ ВІДРО ВІДНОВИТИ

[@user-ci3sy4nc4i]

I just bought this exact model a few months back- please continue sharing your progress- this video rullllllllesssssssssssss!

[@tompappalardo]

Glad you like it. You can continue watching at episode 19: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ_Mn2qhdq-ae6s

[@67Stang]

Excited to see your progress. I have been working on mine for almost 4 years now. Keep it up.

[@999666mg]

14:01 LOL, We didn't expect to see that!😂

[@daledassel5658]

Yep, me too… my ‘66 looks a lot like that. 57 years on this planet can do that to a car.

[@checkyourhead76]

Really enjoyed that! Looking forward to the next one here in the UK!

[@nottwopress]

A daunting task and performed with a tasteful sense of humor and hilarious captions. You had me laughing out loud many times, and your expletives were totally appropriate. Thank you! Looking forward to more.

[@ryanmacewen511]

Awesome gem of a video. My dad had a 66. When I was somewhere around 7 years old I used to just walk around it and study it from different angles. I love the presence of these body styles. Liked and subscribed!

[@tompappalardo]

100% agree. It's a beautiful piece of design.

[@Junkerclunkerz]

I see your in New England too

[@paulrieger8446]

I enjoyed watching this. Nice work bring it back to life! Great video work as well!

[@joelpalmer]

I am in awe of your work on this 1966 Mustang! Well done sir will subscribe and follow

[@bmxislife648]

hell yea brother

[@joebob344]

I don't recall seeing one video where you have nice weather. It's always raining, snowing, cold etc. Sucks man. I feel for ya.

[@tompappalardo]

There's a reason New Englanders are grumpy fucks, ha.

[@darryladkins3033]

Use a string to pull the spring

[@jamessewell-yq2yj]

took me 2 years had to replace rear quarter panels, complete trunk floor, doors, hood, trunk lid etc etc. there was no area mechanical that I did not rebuild, engine, trans, differential, added disc brakes and a/c, too many items to list. my mustang is the only vehicle that I own. I still work on the car and keep upgrading items that I need to. 78,000 miles and running fantastic

[@tompappalardo]

Good on ya

[@gt3505]

sticky tape over rust holes, good job

[@manchonfabrice8057]

Good job Tom

[@mariomicromariomurero]

Men at work, no blabla........ I'm excited !

[@user-vm1yn2od3d]

My thoughts exactly no blah blah blah

[@douglashahn1669]

Great video. Keep up the great content

[@readrepairs]

Great job. Lovely filming. Shows the process in an 'authentic' way. Thank you

[@tompappalardo]

Thanks very much!

[@markgrillo3139]

This was the best video !! Great content, great editing. You made it fun. I felt like I was doing it with you. Interesting, funny, informative. Looking forward to the next year !😊

[@robertswistak586]

I like it!!!!! Awsome!!!

[@TheGordybombers]

I love the random 'Fuck You!' comments really captures the shit you had to deal with.

[@jorgecalderon6828]

Cómo parchar un clásico, aunque todo podría ser válido no necesariamente debería ser así

[@asvp-ant1165]

Did a mouse come out of the exhaust pipe or was I seeing things?

[@tompappalardo]

It *did* look like a little skull, but it was all nutshells and nest material.

[@peteness9550]

Don’t laugh. He’s not the one who lives in a hamster maze or an HOA.

[@rmcmurphy7905]

We used to say ( good enough for a government worker) 👍make it functional and kinda Shiney. And Enjoy it!! Let the next guy do an expensive ground up. All he'll do is stare at it ( like a boat out of water!!!

[@KenthGustafsson300]

the six car is worth keeping in original stock....they are more rare than a v8 one

[@kevinkobayashi]

are you going to do a follow up video after the repair of the floor?

[@tompappalardo]

This long video is a compilation of 18 short episodes. You can pick up where this leaves off at episode 19: kzbin.info/aero/PLf5vjOi-izPxPterhE8xNQneOOgMAZa8y

[@Hfolcher]

vous avez beaucoup de courage , parce qu elle tres abimée votre mustang

[@charlesjimenez6675]

I have a question because I'm about to do some body straightening on the back bumper and passenger side quarter panel for this 16 year old kid . I'm asking because he lives kinda far from me and he doesn't understand what I mean, go figure .. Is the back above the bumper completely strait ?

[@charlesjimenez6675]

Only if I can add some pictures it would be nice

[@richardharris7714]

Can you add a turbo kit for it

[@tompappalardo]

I could push it down a steep hill, maybe.

[@ZER0_G]

Carbs do make you fat but not as badly if they are complex. If you got away with crime in your youth, you've definitely paid your debt to society by now with all that work you did on this car. Made my 66 mustang look like a trailer queen. I feel like a lazy bum now.

[@StevenSmith-eh8zk]

64 and a half Duuu

[@kratos47_73]

🫵😌.. like this video.. more doing less talking like most.... 🫵😌100%%🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍

[@classicstangbrn8964]

Just grab an engine hoist and ditch the 6.

[@classicstangbrn8964]

That L bracket goes on under the body lip not on top.

[@mikebroszczak5767]

Pull that six out and rebuild it is sixty years old why are frustrating your self.

[@tompappalardo]

Because I'm learning and enjoying myself.

[@mikebroszczak5767]

@Tom Pappalardo thanks for your reply I understand what you mean. I found out with my mustand (some) that no body will play the money if it just runs that what happened to me. Cheers, no disrespect intended.

[@eddievantailn2882]

You did not answer my questions regarding this project; therefore I have unsubscribed due to lack of interest.

[@itswillstuff]

Love following along on Instagram, mate!
