You will go down in the KZbin Hall of Fame for rust repairs! Your use of common sense and common tools is brilliant! I am going to find my old paint scraper out in the shed and bring it into the garage and put in my tool chest. If anyone doesn't appreciate your ability to repair a rust belt car, then they have not seen or been in the rust belt. Back in 1967, in northern Indiana, I saw a kid repair a rusted out 57 Chevrolet with hot tar and roofing paper (his dad was a roofer) he formed it like paper mache. He used chicken wire and a thin coat of cement in the front floorboards too. It worked and didn't cost anything but time. Made me appreciate poor folks as I was one myself. The old Torino is looking good, thanks for the video!

[@SimonFordman]

That's a cool story, sometimes you just gotta make it work.

[@valkman761]

Yes, making stuff work with what you have. However, sheet metal isn't expensive, you can make an entire floor of straight sheet and weld few angle irons to stiffen it up. Much much better than have some kid use far less strong material to make something so important as a car floor. On surface panels and trunk floor ..go ahead use whatever you got

[@dogbitefred6631]

@@valkman761 The repair was done to a rusty 4 door 210, it had zero value back in 1967. The only thing holding the rear quarter panels together was the trunk lid, even the back bumper had rusted and fell off. The tar paper repair was used to rebuild the trunk area mainly to keep cold winter air from flowing through the back seat. The concrete and chicken wire repair was a common repair for poor folks just trying to get through another long winter. This was in the days of five hamburgers for a dollar and 26 cents a gallon ethyl gasoline at Sunoco. If anyone is to blame, it's the idiots that put salt on the roads.

I can agree that metal work can seem to be a very daunting task for a lot of people but I’d also say that it’s the hours and hours of time it takes to do metal work and rust repair.

With a cam and headers, the little 302 with 351W heads and 4-barrel intake really flew. The C4 automatic more then once complained l.

My dad was military. We lived all over, including spots overseas. One of the funniest things I saw as a teen was watching people in upstate NY, MA, NH, and especially Ohio patch their vehicles together with road signs, soda cans, "Cat hair," McDonald's polystyrene containers, bondo (requisite long wood screws when they had to sculpt a lower quarter or rocker panel) , various pieces of scrap metal...I have a serious aversion to any vehicle from the rust belt. As of today, in the shop, I have a '69 340 Swinger (Texas), a '76 Valiant sedan (Washington State), a '76 Travco motorhome (Alaska), an '88 Gran Fury cop car (Washington State) and a '91 TC (Utah) that are not rotted. My truck? It's a '99 F350 SD (Oregon) that people in Michigan were freaking out last summer when I was there because it has no rust or undercoating. Good video, nice to watch somebody fixing things properly with a long-term repair. Especially on a vehicle that isn't a "Hot collectible" but a fun, vintage cruiser that you aren't afraid to use. My Valiant I got for free because I promised the original owner I would not sell or cut up- it was solid, 88K miles, and just tired in some respects. I have gone through it, brought it across the country, resto-modded it fairly heavily (it still looks & functions pretty stock- it's things like big 4-wheel discs, chassis stiffening, steering & suspension upgrades, powertrain) and am pleasantly surprised how many people want to look at it, wave, share Valiant/Duster/Dart stories, and have had people video it going down the road- I'm sure you'll have similar experiences with the Torino if you keep it awhile

Posting 5 or 6 additional videos from the one long one. For example: "rebuilding the carb on my Torino", and making it 7 minutes long. I dunno, but I want this guy to succeed, he's extremely talented, obviously mechanically, but he has a great eye and knack for the videography and editing. Stay at it Simon, please.

My stepdad had a Torino almost like this back in 1975 and 1976. It was his company car. We used it to go to the beach and he drank countless beers in it. I remember seeing the Speedometer hitting 100 on the freeway at least twice. We had an accident in it. I slid into the front seat on impact but dear old stepdad didn’t spill a drop of his Falstaff!

Each video really surpasses the previous one... Thanks for reviving so many classic cars! Greetings and admiration from Argentina 👍

I'm at that stage of my car floorpan repairs, but it's just the driver's front pan that rotted through. I don't have much experience with the MIG welder, but I had some good results welding some floor cracks and holes. Now im about to fit the new floorpan. Your video helped me immensely. Thank you!

Your videos are therapeutic! Well crafted well edited, great stories, without a word. Also, doing all of that with a $150 Harbor Freight flux welder, I am beyond impressed! You have mad skills, not just in the shop! Thank you!!!

As much as i want...i simply cannot find the time to watch the whole video at once either because i m falling asleep late at night when i find the time or either i don t have time so what i m doing is watching it on sections, as i have time. Doing this make it even more enjoyable, like a reward which is expecting me, in my spare time. This is wonderful. Please don t stop.

I’m an airframes and structures mechanic on helicopters and I’ll say that you have some skills. I also know a lot about corrosion removal and treatment. I can’t find a thing to ping you on. You did some great work on the door, not to mention the whole car. Great work or your video skills too.

Мені здається десь тут я можу відшукати уламки свого серця. Твоя філософія, бачення світу і праця мені дуже подобаються, дякую за цей час. Най щастить на дорозі ! 🎉

Simon you are one godly man... I'd be swearing and grunting and cussing to get those seats out. But from you, nothing but persistent silence!
