1962 Ford Galaxie, Clean-Up And Repairs
Turn on subtitles/CC's if you'd like explanations on what I'm doing throughout the video.
Part 1: ruclips.net/video/dtGEOPv6A2s/видео.html
A few weeks ago I purchased this 1962 Ford Galaxie. This video makes Part 2 of the series. In Part 1, I got it running and driving but found that it leaked out all the brake fluid and the transmission ceased to go into the correct gears. I also hadn't cleaned it up after it sat in someone's backyard for a handful of years. So, I've now cleaned off all the mold and scum, repaired the transmission and resolved the brake fluid leak, I also covered a few more things as you'll see. I expect this to be the last video I make on the Galaxie, I've put as much wor...

    I remember seeing those new. Built on the same chassis as the Mustang. 200 cid straight six. Ford made a zillion of them. Probably should have used some penetrating oil instead of WD40. WD40 is not a penetrant. But from the looks of it, they'd have still snapped off.

    Oh did my heart go out to you for having done all that work only to find the bent axle housing, oh gads what a sock in the gut. If folks watch carefully as this unfolds they will know to look carefully at disassembled parts and not buy upgrades for the third member until the base axle assembly is verified good. We viewers ought to be paying you for this priceless, well presented training we get from your videos. Thank you. And thanks for the entertainment because I eat this stuff up, you have a unique and creative approach to the production of the videos.

    Holy cow - this is the second of your videos I watched, and on the previous one I commented how your maintenance of your truck reminded me of my young days maintaining my own car. Then I saw this video and, it just so happens, that first car that I owned learned to maintain was also a '74 Gran Torino! Not only that, but same color! At first, I thought this might even be the exact car I ownedm because I ALSO had that crease on the fender just aft of the headlight - but no, you have a different motor. Mine had the 351W (and the FMX tranny). It was fantastic seeing a similiar car in action again. Seeing the pattern on the seat fabric was incredible - I'd forgotten all about that detail. I rebuilt the motor after I bought the car (I think it was in 1985). I leanred all my initial basic auto maintenence skills on this car. It took me all over the place, including a lot of off-roading, because my friend and I modified the suspension to lift the car. I can't remember what I used, but I believe the springs (either front or back) were from a Ford pickup. I had (I think) 235/70-15 BFG Radial Mud Terrain tires on it, and I thought it looked pretty cool. In fact a lot of people did because they frequently approached me and talked with me about it. Also some rally-car style lights on the front, and also Hi-Lift jack on the ledge of the rear bumper in a mount I made with some aluminum. I loved that car, but one day I pulled the 351 out and was going to swap in a 460 I had bought. But for some reason I never got round to finishing that project, and eventually bought a 1980 Plymouth Grand Fury ex-Oregon State Police car. So I sold the Torino. Now I wish I could have another one just like it, but damn they are so expensive and rare now. Next, please do a video where you find and resurrect a 1980 Plymouth Grand Fury! =) Great videos!

    Oh man, I'm not into ASMR stuff, but this was wonderful ASMR to me. Totally took me back to a time when I worked on EVERYTHING in my cars - because I had to. I was just a poor youngster and if I wanted to get to work on Monday, I fixed it on Saturday and Sunday. Although there were the occassional fun projects, like bolt-on performance parts, new wheels, electrical projects, etc. Just me, my friend Mike, and the limited tools I had available. Oh, and of course the Clymers or Haynes manual. Looking back, it was sort of Zen-like at times; just out there under the car in the peace and quiet, cleaning things to perfection and reassembling with new parts. And the satisfaction of seeing everything work right afterwards. Good times. Now eveytime I get the doom-chime from my BMW I just shrink in my seat, wondering, great, what is it this time? I minor cabin filter change reminder I can ignore for eternity, or a $3000 throttle actuator failure?

    Brilliant work Simon. If you wanted to you could feed a Bluetooth receiver to the input of the amplifier and cast from your phone to the juke box. Those things were as complex mechanically as they were electronically. Well done lad and regards from Ireland as always. Pity the glass is cracked though. I'd like to see a part 2 on this. I spend a lot of my time messing with old CB radio sets and Vintage Hi-Fi.
