Добавлен 19 фев 2013
Hey everyone, It's Dandy Man here. This channel is going to be mainly about fixing random things on different vehicles. I will try to cover different makes, models, and years throughout my videos. I will hopefully be able to show everyone how to get a job done even after making some mistakes. I am by no means a know it all type guy. I will do my best to show you real-life fixes without making it to boring. This is going to be a journey, but let's do it together.

1965 Ford Galaxie "First look" Walk around
Просмотров 1414 года назад
This was a surprise Father's day gift from my wife. I was so shocked when I pulled in the driveway and it was setting there. This is my first look at the exterior and interior of the car. Clean up coming in the next video!
sorry done looking
My 64 Galaxie 500 trunk won’t attach/lock after I changed the weatherstripping. What do I need to do?
I have a 63 Ford galaxy I just bought it. I noticed coolant leaking from the bottom of that thermostat housing. I’m wondering if it’s the O-ring or should I just replace it all including the thermostat I noticed the engine gets really hot but it doesn’t show on my dash meter.
Thanks for the video. What's that round blue deal to the right and below/behind the pump?
I currently have had a 1966 galaxie... Had a column safety issue.. now I have a 1967... Console shift safety issue.. I'm actually tearing into that today. I have same issue... A few lights but nothing else. Good video
Update - my 67 galaxie now starts with the key for the first time since 1979. Note it's Oct 2022. Found that I have to hold the shifter forward while turning the key. Also won't start in neutral. Looks like I need a switch. Thank you for the exact example I need.
What all comes with shift rod and lever do you have a picture of all the parts what it looks like installed
Exact same thing happened to me. I had slam it really hard but now she will not open. 64 lincoln trunk
I know what your doig, I have a 1966 Galaxie XL500 and with a center console. I could not find a Nutrail Safety switch so I went and purchased a B & M Star Shifter which bolted fine in the console and came with it's own safety switch and back up light switch attached. So if you want to spend the 250 bucks for a new shifter or spend X amount of money for a used and maybe a new one, that will be a good way of getting a new shifter that works very good and shifts and starts on the button. Thanks for the channel and since I am retired now, please feel free to send me a message if you need assistance. Ben
What is that Star shifter part number?
Thanks for the great video! 1. The glass on mine was held on with retainers. I had to move the shifter to neutral to expose the 4th screw and remove the plate, glass and all. 2. I used a zip tie to hold the lever in place in true Roadkill fashion
Thanks for the video. I have a similar no crank issue in my 65 with console shift and you've given me a head start on how to proceed checking the NSS. Would love to know how to bypass or test with a jumper.
Very handy video, thank you!
My 1966 galaxie has the same problem, but someone in the past put a little cable to bypass the safety switch. I bought the car already like that.
Would you happen to know which wires to jump?
Any idea on how to rebuild that seal channel? I've got a 65 ltd 4dr hardtop and my trunk channel has rusted through
It really looked like someone had went through and cut out most of the rust in the areas before they painted it. To look at it, it doesn't look like it was rusted that bad. If yours is rusted out that bad you may have to just cut those sections out and weld some new metal in after you mold it to the shape you need it. Bending the metal to that precise of a shape will probably be the hardest part. Thanks for the comment brother.
@@dandyman132 the whole bottom channel near the latch and the sides is gone. It's been head scratching for me haha. Subbed and I'd love to see more videos on this beautiful car!
Thanks a bunch brother. I just switched to a day shift schedule so I should be putting some more videos out. I recently got some rims and tires from a 2000's mustang I'm gonna put on her. I need some adapters to bring them out (they hit on the control arm). They look like Cragers but silver and much cheaper....lol
Hi I just watched your video on the safety switch, how did it work out in the end? Ive got a 63 Galaxie with a similar problem. Any chance you will do a followup video on this? Good luck Mark
I wouldn't chance running any of that stuff through the engine. They sell new ones for a 66. Same thing 2" bigger. Fits just fine.
Do you mean a new gas tank? If so, where did you see them at? I've been looking but haven't seen any that were like factory.
@@dandyman132 65 is not available. 66 is the same fit only 2" bigger. Fits perfectly but hangs down like 2" lower. Dennis carpenter has them. Mac's has them. They're pretty available.
Thats great. Ill have to look that up. I'm not worried about 2 inches lower. That wouldn't be much at all. It may be a few before I get one. Just dropped 400 on some rims and tires off a 2000's mustang for her. They are too deep so I need to order some adapters to pull them out from the control arm.
The wires in that harness are cool, temp sending unit, oil sending unit. Looks like someone didn't change the oil enough and ran it hot. That's what causes that sludge
Thats what I figured with the engine sludge. Thanks for the info on the wires. I'll have to see what guages I have or if I need to get something additional. Any tips on getting that sludge out of there?
@@dandyman132 take the rocker assembly off then plug the oil drain holes in the heads with rags. Scrape as much off as you can with a screwdriver. Get a can of diesel fuel and a brush for the rest. Drain the oil after.
You should check out "old car alley" he's restoring a 66 convertible. Good guy who knows his stuff
I found him on RUclips when I first got my Galaxie. He is awesome! Has really done. Great job with his. I can't wait to see the full finished product. He puts so much time into his.
@@dandyman132 if you watch his videos you'll hear my name. I sent him some parts for his car. I'm in Arizona so the parts don't rust. I have a mostly complete 65 convertible parts car that was stored inside for 35 years. Lots of good parts. Some stainless and chrome
@William Lane Thats awesome brother. I may hit you up for some parts one day. Most of my chrome is in decent shape, not to pitted.
I found the spring from mine down under the console. It fell out at some point.
Thanks for the tip William. I'll look around again and see what I can find. Who knows, it may be there under the carpet piece.
@@dandyman132 all you're missing is a spring. Kinda looks like an ink pen spring but bigger. If you can't find it I have an extra nss for that shifter.
I'll check it out and let ya know. It may very well be laying in there somewhere. I just hope I didn't vacuum it up not knowing what it was before I found out it was missing. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@williamlane9140 I have the same exact problem with my 65 galaxie. You looking at getting rid of that NSS?
There is currently a neutral safety switch for 65-66 Galaxie 500 XL console shift on ebay (03-29/2021).
I will check that out. Hopefully not an arm and a leg. Thanks brother.
Love the 65 Galaxies!
Thanks a bunch Scott. When I get some time with the weather warming up, I'm gonna try and get some more videos out.
Does it run?
Haven't got that far buddy. I bent the fuel line leading from the fuel pump to the carburetor.
That's obviously marshmallow cream, Dan.
That was my first thought....lol.
You could try finding a new spring for it
I was thinking about doing that but I'm not sure I can take it apart without breaking it. Ill have to look at it and see what I can do. I moved the button around and got it to start the other day. Thanks for the advice JJ.
👍
Great video
Thanks JJ!! I appreciate it . Gonna have more coming soon. Just finished and posted the trailer for the channel.
Dirty but pretty interior! Love the vent windows. They are really nice when upu want a little air but don’t want it blowing right on you.. Wish car’s still had them. Congratulations!
Thanks Ruth! I was so surprised to see it in the driveway when we got home. Stay tuned for more videos.
