The angry duck is working overtime, today. LMFAO 😆😆

[@jsimmonstx]

I'm about to install a similar cooler (just a little smaller - #13750) on my 64 Fairlane (429/C6), and came across your video while seeing what everyone else did. Thanks for posting it. I'm replacing a 25-30-year-old tube/fin cooler that has a small leak in one of the tubes and a sketchy fluid line setup. A couple of points (more for anyone else that might view this video): 1) Using AN fittings/hose isn't a matter of appearance. Every fitting is a potential point of failure/leaks, and properly built AN lines mitigates that possibility. Yes, it's more expensive, but it's a better strategy. 2) I'm going to use rivnuts to attach the cooler to the floor pan. I really don't want to go through the hassle of taking the back seat out of the car, and I don't have any welding equipment/skill. 3) I've read that best practice is to put the temperature switch as close to the the trans as possible. I'm feeling like it might be a good idea to put it on the cooler like you did, and since Derale seems to think it's okay. 4) I'm going to add an override switch (like you mentioned), with an illuminated toggle, and wire the thermostatic switch to the led on the switch, so I'll know when the cooling fan comes on. I don't have a temp gauge yet, but plan to put one in the car at some future date. 5) I'm going to use tubing from the cooler to a point just shy of where the fittings are on the trans. This will prevent me from having to spend a butt load of money every time I have to replace the rubber lines (due to needing less of it).

Looking good put a plexiglass window in it temporarily ha

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

Craig It'll be fine, Trans Cooler location.We will see how it does through the test of time..Great Job. If you were in cold weather you would have to run it thru the Radiator.

[@davidandrews9670]

gotta love those sounds and sound effects!

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Yessir! Dude is a killer editor. Not too much, but still very funny.

[@johnsarian_cu]

The gauge lighting really stands out at night. Sharp.

[@mikeystone86]

What gauge set is that?

[@TheGaragenousZone]

No kidding! Really makes the build pop. 🤙🏻

[@mraycgz]

Lol you might finish that car, you might never have to get under it again like that, you might get a lift, you might get a awesome shop to do it all in but buddy you are going to be doing that stuff your whole life. Because you’re good at it lol. Love your stuff man.

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Couldn’t agree more! Craig kicks butt and I would kill to collaborate with him someday.

[@juanbueno8185]

Me gustó mucho esta remodelación me gustaría verlo terminado

[@mickhamilton8385]

Nice work 👍.

[@alexenns3203]

I always look forward to the next video

[@aubcivil98]

I know what you mean about putting these cars in the air to work on them. My Dad (75) and me (270 pounds) swapped the transmission in his 64 a few Sundays ago. Transmissions are tall and heavy when working under these. Keep up the good work.

[@jordanpanich]

Nice work!

[@tahirusman5929]

Nice.Put a tie wrap on the power wire against the fan grille. Waitin to see ya on Autotopia LA channel!

[@georgefisher2021]

When I was 16 (58 years ago) I owned a '53 Oldsmobile. At that tender age I wasn't all that mechanically savvy and didn't realize my car had an air cooled transmission. I took the car to the drag races one time and it ran like a scared rabbit, even the announcer in the tower apparently said, look at that green Olds go. I was having so much fun I was running in the time trials up to just befor the elimination races. Needles to say, the tranny got hot and in my first elimination race the car ran like a 4 cylrnder Cadillac.. I lost miserably and at the time I had no idea why. I know I could have won easily if I had let it cool down. :(

[@donameci7]

By far my favorite quote yet. " I'm not using a Funnel. Funnels are for weenies! Had me laughing for a while.

[@gthompson8464]

Get quick jacks! Life saver!

[@1957kwick]

My opinion not that it matters. I would never run rubber lines under the car the factory doesn’t do it there’s no reason why you should. just out of safety concerns.👍

[@jaggedsleepy1229]

beautiful

[@merc6]

Your mom and dad are saints and absolutely love you. Surprised they haven't told you to beat feet yet.

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Right?! My parents are the same way, thank goodness. Heck, my dad is the other half to my channel! Couldn’t have gotten luckier.

[@mikemartin1532]

I bet there was a lot of duck quacking when u broke that fitting off lol

[@meangenevstheworld.7773]

Hey buddy, put a guard on that grinder. Im 7 weeks in to a severed thumb recovery due to lack of safety. It took 30 years but it bit me.

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Yeeeeesh! I’ll have to be better. I had a cut off wheel slam into my safety glasses (thank goodness) yesterday, so I feel you.

[@kmnremtp]

You really finna paint it yourself in the backyard for me?!?!?! Duuuuuude!!!!! Thank you soooo so much!!!!

[@jasonmyers3847]

I'd weld on curved tips on your exhaust. That way, the heat is diverted away from your cooler.

[@brianf8621]

Side exit.

[@robertwells6454]

Really nice work. The hole car has become a very respectable, Gentleman's Hot Rod. 🤟😎👌

[@Ridendrty]

Could go with a manual trans🤷🏼‍♂️

[@acs7618]

I use that same cooler as a power steering cooler for my ranger because it would start to overheat when I autocross it.

[@codyridings3639]

[@terry9439]

All your builds are clean

[@2koolchris291]

I’m glad to hear about that company. Sounds like they have some products I could use on my truck. Cleaning up by my dads barn I found some old stainless dual exhaust from a derby truck. I’m probably going to put that on my truck. My exhaust being factory is pretty junk. It’s Swiss cheese by the axle. And I’m certain the same is for the front. And I’m probably going to be able to keep the spare tire mount.

[@TheGaragenousZone]

That sounds rad! Very RoadKill of you 😎🤘🏻

[@jeremiahlbfg2417]

Man I have seen your videos in awhile

[@markstangsn9518]

Anxiously awaiting paint good job 👍🏻

[@tedjones450]

Couldn't you have notched the bracket of the cooler or even put short spacers in to clear the bump on the car, also you could have run a longer piece of 3/8 hard line so less rubber hose to the cooler would have been required.

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Yep, tractor

[@kmnremtp]

Don’t have to do it again???? You got a whole nutha galaxy bro!!!

[@TheGaragenousZone]

😂

[@luckent47]

i like cardboard crawlers, as in laying fresh cardboard sheets down under my crap to slide/ stay clean on..

[@danianstaffen4428]

Next step would be to make that car sound good with an x pipe and some straight through mufflers... Love this car

YES!! Galaxie stuff!! Also, sleeperdude has found a yard with gobs of different falcons in a fairly rust free looking area [may be in Georgia but this Junkyard also sports Fairlanes]. :-))

[@jimearnest4342]

Love the galaxy Craig,can't wait to see her painted

[@fordfandiecast]

Another great upgrade. Cannot wait to see her painted

[@jareddurst3159]

I have dual defame fans on my 75 Cougar and they’re fantastic

[@marksearcy9708]

I think that is the exact same kit I have for my F100 with AOD trans. The Trans builder had advised me to run from pressure side to cooler then to rad. and then back to trans. I did not know if you were aware up this. Looks like you will have yours up and running before me.

[@Ali-bz9gd]

i dont like the placment, from where its gonna suck air in?

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Dude I love your editing. Super playful and fun! I aim to be as cool. 😎

[@richardoswalt1009]

I don't get it, why not just put it behind grill or use what you had.

[@1091cole]

I saw that Pro Touring won the fox body instagram poll, any new plans?

[@slick-px4pq]

Is that kid rock?

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Well, Kid Rock was a legend, sooooo…

[@johnshaver5693]

On my F150 390/c6 I ran my trans through the radiator cooler first and then to the cooler to help warm the trans as well don't know if it made any difference didn't drive it enough lol.

[@marksearcy9708]

Happy to see how well it is working for you. Hope I have the same luck with mine.👍

[@stephenheidelberger616]

that car is turning out nice . what color are you painting it ??

[@cameronkendall9113]

Can we get a hint as to when shes getting painted?

[@jeffreyrigged]

its actually pronunces de rail e. i know i pronounced it wrong for years until i saw a add of theres on motor trend lol.

[@craigesmond]

love the build been watching for long time. curious why back sooo low cant you raise so at least level? also why trans in back by exhaust? with so much room in front of these yachts should be plenty space.

[@Jon_2218]

Awesome work Craig! will you be redirecting your muffler heat exhaust eventually?

[@merc6]

I would almost be concerned with fluid dynamics and what I mean by that is you are going from a smaller diameter to a larger diameter back to a smaller diameter hose. There is is friction lose in flow, pressure lose when going from small to large, and then volume lose when going back to small. It's not a hydraulic system, it's just a fluid transfer system.

[@davesharp5507]

Man, that is awesome! I can't wait to see it painted and all put together the way you want it! I can't wait to see what's in store for it!

[@curthall4096]

Is there going to be enough Air Flow though the Trans Rad?

[@Thecraig909]

Plenty. After driving it around a bunch the cooler is still cool to the touch and the fan moves an impressive amount of air for its size

[@curthall4096]

@@Thecraig909 Cool, it just looked like there might not be enough Air Flow.

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Just a thought , but when you jacked up the car why did you not use the 2x4 "stands" that you made.

[@jeffreyrigged]

i would be scared to bust it under the car but it looks great

[@zacharypokorny5126]

More n more n more Galaxie Videos!!

[@robroten6446]

Is it "duh-rail" or "duh rah lee"? I always heard "duh rah lee" but that doesn't make it right.

[@jameswalker4536]

What about the exhaust heat coming right into the cooler? Do you forsee it being a problem...

[@Thecraig909]

No it’s high enough it’s not an issue and it pulls air from the sides not the top and bottom. The exhaust will also have a heatsheild on it keeping unwanted head away

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

I think you did good job of mounting it but picked a very bad spot, it will have very poor airflow get full of road grime, and if it rains it could short. I can understand why you did not want to mount it in front of the radiator but you could have mounted it behind the grill just off to one side.

[@glenryan6569]

Car is looking clean but I'm not fond of the stance, not big on the tail dragger style either level or preferably a inch or two higher in the back would look so much better.

[@wertman101]

😂 but nobody asked you, so…

[@IrishMike22]

Just found your channel. Great stuff! If you get a chance check out the '63 Galaxie I have on my channel! Lemme know what you think. All the best 👍

[@mplante7352]

I have a Derale electric fan trans cooler on my F150, Awesome products My AOD trans stays at 180 degrees or less. Hey Rapunzel are you gonna get a haircut? ;P

[@TheGaragenousZone]

Ayyye, how dare you! (JK) Craig’s hair is a thing of beauty. 💁🏼‍♀️

[@pmodd]

Derale make decent gear, with the exception of their PWM fan controllers. If you really hate yourself, buy one of those and enjoy it failing.

[@rickwallace5582]

your still pulling exhaust into the t-cooler. and your gonna have a mile of cooler hose (not good) just mount it up front and get col air and short hoes and wiring. I hope you live long enough to get a shop if you dont die under that boat, OH, finally cutting the body supports is a no no, I call it butchering a classic. get a mentor.

[@Venturemaster_Nate]

First

[@wehadkeekid]

Youngman, first off, get a hair cut, you will look better with short hair. Second. the car is too low in the back, maybe raise it a 1-2 inches. But hey, it's your car and your hair, you do what you want. I still will enjoy your videos.
