Will It RUN AND DRIVE 900 Miles Home? LEGENDARY 70's Built Ford Drag Car - With Tony Angelo!

[@StayTunedTA]

I had a blast getting this thing back together with ya! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks for coming up to PA bud!

[@NZMOPAR]

👍 it's almost as cool as the Mopar with the wrong front spring mount

[@brianhudak5103]

My theory on the "wrench" you heard on your video the other day bouncing under the car was the piece of all-thread you cut off of the air cleaner stud! When you cut it, I said to myself, "that's going to fall out and scare the crap out of them"! Keep up the great videos.

[@NZMOPAR]

@@brianhudak5103 wondered what that was but that makes sense

[@DunkDrives]

I can't believe he let you drive it knowing how far he had to drive! If there's one thing I know from watching MTOD, Roadkill, HRG etc etc, it's don't let Tony drive your car unless ya want content! He breaks everything! No offence Tony, Love ya! But Zero mechanical sympathy, until afterwards!

[@jeremybrauchler8109]

This was pretty great.

[@kerrylewis2581]

Honestly, how does Derek do it? He drives nine hundred miles in the rain, in the cold, in an uncomfortable car, and still has a smile to share with us all.

Don't tell Lucky about this

[@douglilley1859]

If you absolutely positively need to know, look for the seal of approval, Steve and Tony tested tough.

[@chrisd4841]

In all fairness Tony Angelo may single handedly be responsible for the aftermarket industry. They just keep making better and stronger parts until is survives a test drive from Tony. Maybe I'm kidding, but when you see him at the end of the strip, his face said that even he feels that way. You could read "NOT AGAIN" on his face.

[@i_boopur_nose4577]

[@matthewjohnston1400]

100%. They really make it work.

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

Solid call,these two could get away with their own RoadKill style series

[@AJKlos]

Need more collabs with you and Tony. Vice Grip and Stay Tuned make people feel like we are all friends

[@SecretlySeven]

Tony understands that getting the little details right matters. Under promise and over deliver. I like this guy.

[@chestrockwell8328]

Except for one little detail, no lights, no wipers, and building an engine that would over power the low grade T5. Thankfully those two guys saved the day with a properly modded up T5.

[@FrisellFan01]

I always love seeing an old racer being put back on the road......great episode....

I could literally watch this guy build bird houses all day as long as he just keeps talking in the Derek language, he could literally put anything on his channel and I think we would all watch, Derek is going to cut the grass today, Derek shoveling snow, Derek putting a new mailbox in, doesn’t matter what he does the guy is just cool and I like his language, great human being please never stop putting out content, brother you make my days better. Awesome human being.

[@robhaywood6783]

Right it makes me wonder how is this not a syndicated show why has Discovery or History Channel not pick this up? but I like it better this way because Derek can do and say what he wants to with no sponsors to mess things up

[@stevetheriault4164]

SHOUT OUT TO JASON AND TONY FOR HELPING DEREK AND THE CAR COMUNITY YOU GUYS ARE GREAT 😁😁👍👍👍👍

[@OIllllO]

@stevetheriault4164 Jason didn't seem to be too willing to help out the car community until the name drop.

[@RealNickTheCoolest]

@@OIllllOwould you say yes if a random person called about a transmission you had for sale and asked if he could change it in your driveway with your help? Highly doubtful.

[@OIllllO]

@@RealNickTheCoolest They were not asking for help just a driveway to swap it in. It wouldn't need to be a famous person for me to not have a problem with that but Ol' Jason was only interested in their money until he found out who it was.

[@Aerzon1v1]

​@@OIllllO IIRC, there was a first guy they were originally planning on getting the T5 from, and then they switched to Jason instead. He mentions it right before they leave the track.

[@werwefsefsefsef]

@@Aerzon1v1 yup and if they help inevitably they are good people regardless of the situation.. thats my two cents thanks for being positive man!

[@louchieandiani1992]

Derek, I love that 67' Fairlane. I have a 66' and just dig that body style. I'm glad you got it going and back home. My personal suggestions are leave it pretty much the way it is but iron out some of the details. Put a heater core in it, wipers, a seat that will accommodate someone taller than 5'6", repair the electrical system and drive it!

[@kevinschwager8360]

I loved how the headliner dropped onto your head about 3/4 of the way down your first run.

[@Imrightyourewrong1]

Sitting at the hospital besides my daughter who just fell asleep after having surgery for a raptured appendix. Been a though day and nothing is better therapy than watching some Vice Grip. Thank you for bringing so much joy and knowledge Derek!

Thing i love about watching these videos, is just seeing all the good people lending a hand and just helping out when they don't have to. Absolutely awesome. The car community is amazing!

[@Jimmy-tc2ef]

Was cool to see a bump in Tony’s subscribers as this build progressed. I didn’t know his channel at all. Great to see the car culture continue to thrive! Thanks for all your guys’ hard work and look forward to watching videos on both channels.

[@mikescherrer4923]

Check out Stay Tuned's back catalog, too. Bunch of cool builds.

[@Hendoneesia]

I subscribed to Tony's channel a couple months ago, after I saw the video of them sharing the Crown Vic in the race down at Cleetus'. Good stuff.

VGG, T/A, and a 67 Ford Fairlane. I have loved this series so far

Tony Angelo seems like a solid guy to have around. Nice.

Love that you paid tribute to Tony with the punk rock edit over the work done at his shop! Great detail

[@badadvicegarage]

That exhaust sound is what dreams are made of!

[@Keith-c9k]

This one was kinda bittersweet for me. My brother, who was 13 years older than me, had an almost perfect 66 Fairlane GT, 390,4 speed ,when I was just a boy and, man did I love the rides that he took me on. Unfortunately, for us, God decided that it was time for him to come home, just a few months ago. Thanks Derrick, Tony and all of the guys. Very special. Brought back a lot of good memories. Dang I miss him. ❤❤

[@michaelbailey6446]

[@marvincarter870]

Derek this was a good buy with a long racing history. Fix the wipers, heater and for heaven's sake get the defroster installed! Get a seat that fits you, but one that Jessica can drive too she's going to love it!

[@koolaid53]

Yep, and maybe patch the holes in the floor and trunk so that water stays on the outside.

This team up makes me incredibly happy. If you're sleeping on Stay Tuned, you are doing yourself a disservice.

[@SamWilliams78]

This is a great video. Jason is a legend. I like seeing a feller get some help from time to time. The fairlane is a real sweetheart and sounds insane. Probably your best sounding car immediately.

[@nbowling10trio]

Absolutely in love with the car. My cousin who was more like a brother had one he always wanted to fix up and held on to for many years. He died a few years ago in his early forties. This car flooded memories of him. Ty for this content

[@bradw3313]

Potato sack….i spit my beer on that one!!! Jason was a gold find and great to see folks who know their stuff inside and out. I wish someone had an old shoulder mount video of Ted and that Ford in its hayday with the big block setup….i can just imagine it was the top dog in town.

Another most excellent episode. Nice pickup on the ol Fairlane, This channel is the only one I can literally sit for an hour and a half and watch Derek perform mechanical and digical miracles. I even pause the video for cold snacks. This one is a keeper! Kudos to Tony Angelo for his help.

[@toralfcross3819]

I have been watching for a while and I always enjoy the videos. I think Derek is setting a positive example for the viewers. " your project won't work if you don't"

[@LAactor]

Good call with making the teaser at the end talking about what to look for next. It's always good to have something to look forward to and it works well just like traditional TV that teased the next episode as well. The ep didn't need to be in the can yet aka fully finished, just something you knew was happening next.

I had one of those cars but mine was a convertible. 19 years old and a 289. Thanks for that memory.

My favorite car. I have a 66 fairlane with a 289 automatic. I have owned for 42 years. Was my daily driver until 2003. It still runs and drives but it needs some love. Love equals money and that I don't have. Great video
