I seriously hope this channel blows up!! Very VERY talented young guy, not just on getting old hot piles running, but the quality of filming and editing is on another level!! Good job Simon 👏🏼👍🏼
The first vehicle I ever drove was an M151A2 1/4 ton TRK /4x4. TM 2220- 218-2010 if memory serves. I was a 17 year old new recruit in the 82nd Airborne Division. Sergeant John Turner (truck Turner) was my platoon sergeant. Every time I missed a gear he would hit me in my helmet with a stick he carried for that purpose. It sounds rough but these guys just came back from Vietnam and the war was still going on. Great memories of Truck and that Jeep. To this day I own and drive standard shift vehicles minus my wife’s LR2. Great work on that Jeep. Your perseverance and skills. Are unmatched by the majority of young men your age.
First time I’ve heard him speak and it’s just a simple “Perfect” for the worst looking most bent outta shape wheel I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 I’m glad it worked and I had a smile the whole video.
At your age, your problem-solving skills are next-level. I know men three times your age that wouldn't have any idea how to solve some of the issues that I've watched you tackle! Also, when you "massaged" those rims to fit the Jeep and then uttered "perfect," I could hear the pedants screaming! Masterful, my man! 😂
Built like a brick shithouse with the reliability of 4 wheels and a hole in the bottom to push it Flintstones style. Can't get any better than that when it comes to bulletproof quality.
Everything, the title, the way it was filmed and edited and the tenacious, talented hard work that went into it. My favourite bit was him getting the gas axe out and making those wheels fit. Yeah!
My father and his family worked on so many Willy's. The US left a lot of Willy's here in the Philippines, we did some work to it and made it our national public transport mode, the Jeepney. Loved this video so cinematic and relaxing
@@dustinlewald2804 I don't think so, it runs and drives and hasn't folded in half from frame rot. I wouldn't restore it but it would be a great firewood hauler.
61 year old here. I know my way around most things mechanical . Why does this young man fascinate me so much. Your channel is different from anything on youtube. maybe that is why. 112 k subs and growing .
"Perfect" episode! Who'd have taken odds this thing would not only run but move under its own power. Burning the mice nests out of the water channels and that wheel fix... next-level!
Huge respect for Simon he gets it done with no negative vibe. All willpower and fortitude with strong leadership on the jobs win loose or draw this is the channel to see. I've got more that 5000 videos I've watched on RUclips and right now Simon is top shelf.
Класс 👍👍 замечательное видео. Я рад что старичок ожил. И ты дал ему шанс ещё поездить, мне кажется что он в конце заулыбался. Ну и работа резаком великолепная.
I used one of those for security night hours key round in a large pipe yard for several months. The one I used was physically identical but was a 1960s version with the ford 223 six engine. To me transportation is a blessing, so never scoff at anything that runs and has wheels. My dad drove those as a postal letter carrier from 1958 all the way to 1982, but after around 1966 they issued them ambassador cars
Tip-Trick, when putting gas into carburetor take throttle and go wide open, then pour it. When you do this it opens butterflies and allows gas to go straight into the intake. Much quicker results this way I really love this channel, such awesome work
An update: just applied another trick from you. I used the way you re-flange the engine oil pan and get my transmission oil pan fixed nice, flat, and sealed on my transmission. Saved me a big amount of money! Will keep thumbs up for your hard work!
Will also comment before watching 👍 I’ll say it again- most underrated channel on the inner webs, camera angles, editing, no talking nonsense and tops every video off with a cat/dog. Thank you Mr Fordman and fam/team
Certainly would build character . Kinda pulling off the impossible. I want to also comment on your closing. The poor little willys watches as you drive away, it’s sad little grill and headlight face so forlorn. That’s Oscar grade cinema dude.
This brings back good memories, 50 years my father bought a Jeep just like this one. At first site I thought he bought a mail truck. Got it out of the barn at a deer camp net to ours in Uvalde TX. It needed a lot of work but not this much. We had a lot of father and son projects over the years and fixing and painting the Jeep was great! I’m glad I saw your video.
Gotta say, I really admire your determination to get this thing running considering the circumstances of the weather, and the condition of the vehicle itself. Using simply what you have, and not being in a garage with a "clean and sanitary" environment makes it even more impressive. Now I really want to get my free Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel running.
I always love videos seeing these old beasts get a (often final) ride, getting to relive their glory days before they're finally put to bed. Great work, keep doing what you do!
I spent this hour and a half of my life with great interest, watching how a young guy brings back the legendary CJ-3A from the dead, it was comparable to watching a movie, thank you 👍🏻
Another video giving an old rust bucket one last ride before she meets the part out or the scrappers torch. I always treat my vehicles like they have a soul, and I’m sure this old Willy’s was happy to bounce around a field again if only one more time. Great work as always Mr.Fordman!
Just did the same thing.1962 cj5 setting over 10 yrs.Soaked the cylinders for a week with seafoam and turned it over by hand with a wrench.Then brought it back from the dead.
I've watched all your videos and this one is the best one yet. Looks like you had a lot of fun on this one. Cinematography keeps getting better and better with every video Simon!
Kudos to this guy's patience and perseverance in trying to get the old jeep running in the rain and snow! Excellent video.😊 Kudos to this guy's patience and perseverance in trying to get the old jeep running in the rain and snow! Excellent video🙂👍👍👍
Without a doubt, there is NO ONE making videos like this on YT. This young mans knowledge and resourcefulness is beyond the norm. It is so cool to see what and how he does things. I agree with everyone else, that because of his "style", he will achieve a large following of loyal subs. Keep going Simon, you've got it going on kid!
We have 4 old jeeps, 1942 GPW, 2 M38A1’s and a 1947 CJ2. All running. This video is great, and shows how study these old vehicles are. Thank you. Looking forward to your next adventure on the jeep.
Magnificent video! with a touch of poetry in the careful plans on the mechanics. Thank you for bringing some life back to this Jeep which can now rest in peace. Thanks Simon.
Once again, it was a great pleasure watching your skill & resourcefulness in action, Mr Fordman. As always, too, this video is up to a very high standard of creativity & visual storytelling. Always a pleasure watching your content.
Здравствуй, Саймон). Твоё упорство в работе заслуживает уважения. Нравятся твои видео, очень интересно видеть автомобили твоей страны. Это отдельная история автомобилей. Удачи тебе. Судя по количеству раритетов вокруг Вилли, у нас ещё много фильмов впереди😊. С уважением из России.

why are there so many dislikes? because he doesnt talk? what a bunch if jackasses. i love your videos dude keep up the good work! edit: when i clicked on the video it said 7K dislikes but now it only says 16 my bad but still stands
Служил электриком-дизелистом,приходилось запускать после 45 лет с грамотной консервации,пытаться ревезировать тнвд на минималках,А это чел вообще респект.
Привет 👋 я из России,смотрю за твоим творчеством,ты молодец 👍🏻,хорошие видео снимаешь!я очень люблю олдскул,но у нас это не так развито,спасибо за такие видео 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Oh man! This is unbelievable! You keep getting more and more interesting projects! With those really nice shots it’s my favourite beggining of the day! Thank you!❤
I seriously hope this channel blows up!! Very VERY talented young guy, not just on getting old hot piles running, but the quality of filming and editing is on another level!! Good job Simon 👏🏼👍🏼
Agree with you about that
He's on a roll mate, I think he's in or about to hit exponential growth.
Couldn't agree more!!
be careful what you wish for, blowing up leads to quality drop and eventual automation.
Нет не будет падения , он простой парень Добрый и порядочный.
in the first 5 minutes,he broke a whrench, his back,broke the pistons free and set the whole engine on FIRE...that definitely deserves a like...
Yep 👍👍
He broke two wrenches.😁
There isn't another tuber that I want one to reach 10mil subs as much as Simon. He is a gem.
Same, my dad told me about this guy. I've been telling everyone I know to watch him!

Great story. Thank you for your service.
Can't match that kinda life experience, awesome story and if no one has said it yet, welcome home and thank you for your service.
Excellent movie. Good job
My first vehicle was a model MB Ford...1943.
Another movie night provided by Mr. Fordman, cheers!
I see it as a real movie too. Im 68 experienced mechanic and I would rather watch that, than going to a movie
First time I’ve heard him speak and it’s just a simple “Perfect” for the worst looking most bent outta shape wheel I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 I’m glad it worked and I had a smile the whole video.
Do you have the time stamp?
1:13:49
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite automotive channels to watch.
и не только :)
Seriously, your videos are the first I’ve never skipped through. Truly impressive stuff, Simon. 😊
The first word I ever hear you say is “perfect” in that situation has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen in forever
At your age, your problem-solving skills are next-level. I know men three times your age that wouldn't have any idea how to solve some of the issues that I've watched you tackle! Also, when you "massaged" those rims to fit the Jeep and then uttered "perfect," I could hear the pedants screaming! Masterful, my man! 😂
This just proves the toughness of the old flat head Willy’s engines. This video was so good, you are a gift to the automotive world my friend.

Philippines Jeep culture is awesome and little known in the US
@@somedudeRyan Don't they even continue to make the Willy's in the Philippines?
@airplanemaniacgaming7877 not sure but there's lots of custom new ones made from scratch in country, often out of all stainless steel.
You are a very knowledgeable mechanic I love watching you come up with these ideas keep up the good work
Knowledgeable, indomitable, resourceful, artful, with just a hint of wicked funny and zero b.s. Perfect!
Это здорово, видеть как на твоих глазах оживает то что много лет было мертвым! Молодец парень.

And some of them are copying this kind of filming too.
"Perfect" episode!
Who'd have taken odds this thing would not only run but move under its own power.
Burning the mice nests out of the water channels and that wheel fix... next-level!
Seeing that thing go around the field put the biggest grin on my face. Great video Simon!
There's nothing like vintage machinery- simplicity and ruggedness,good job young man.
true genius from old timmers ... i can't imagine a 2024 jeep being fired up by a 19 year old in 2064
You’re very talented with the camera mate. Seriously, I’m very impressed.❤
Even in the rain, your perseverance in getting the old jeep running paid off Simon. Great job. 👍
Huge respect for Simon he gets it done with no negative vibe. All willpower and fortitude with strong leadership on the jobs win loose or draw this is the channel to see. I've got more that 5000 videos I've watched on RUclips and right now Simon is top shelf.
It’s hard to believe someone would let such a cool old vehicle be set to the side and just rust to pieces! Thank you for bringing it back to life!!!
Класс 👍👍 замечательное видео. Я рад что старичок ожил. И ты дал ему шанс ещё поездить, мне кажется что он в конце заулыбался. Ну и работа резаком великолепная.
What a little post holiday treat! Thanks Simon
Probably one of the best open field will it run revivals I have ever seen....and without any useless chatter. THANK YOU!
For the first time hearing Simon say something, simply a "Perfect"...congratulations on the creativity and the genuine and excellent content!

Flat out impressive farm yard repairs. I can't believe you got that thing running. Nice work and very entertaining.
I watch your videos with my father, and it's the only time we share together, watching you. Thank you very much, man, greetings from Argentina.
I have no words, amazing skills Simon. Thats a robust jeep.😻
That is the most stuck, crusty ICE I've ever seen a revivalists tackle. Bravo!
It`s amazing how you bring the dead back to life not to mention your fabricating and patience on the work you do and your editing. Well done Simon👍
Seeing the old boy running through the field made me think of an animal confined too long that was free to run at last. Thank you sir for what you do.
One of my biggest takeaways from your channel is heat solves many problems 👏🔥
The time and effort you put to capture really nice videos, different cams and angles is commendable. Great job!
An update: just applied another trick from you. I used the way you re-flange the engine oil pan and get my transmission oil pan fixed nice, flat, and sealed on my transmission. Saved me a big amount of money! Will keep thumbs up for your hard work!
Will also comment before watching 👍
I’ll say it again- most underrated channel on the inner webs, camera angles, editing, no talking nonsense and tops every video off with a cat/dog. Thank you Mr Fordman and fam/team
Much appreciated
I don’t know why you do these hopeless wrecks but I’m glad you do. The rims modifications were the best piece of hillbilly engineering I’ve ever seen!
I find it fun, maybe it could be considered a character building activity.
Certainly would build character . Kinda pulling off the impossible. I want to also comment on your closing. The poor little willys watches as you drive away, it’s sad little grill and headlight face so forlorn. That’s Oscar grade cinema dude.

When i heard the first word ever uttered "perfect", it was GREAT!.....love the silence too
Ride of honor. R.I.P. sweet Jeep. Simon, thanks to give us opportunity to watch

To me, one of the best channels on RUclips for sure.

I LOVE your tenacity and resourcefulness. Also beautifully filmic. Thank you.
I spent this hour and a half of my life with great interest, watching how a young guy brings back the legendary CJ-3A from the dead, it was comparable to watching a movie, thank you 👍🏻
The things that can be fixed by applying very hot fast fire is seemingly endless. Fully approved ✔
Another video giving an old rust bucket one last ride before she meets the part out or the scrappers torch. I always treat my vehicles like they have a soul, and I’m sure this old Willy’s was happy to bounce around a field again if only one more time. Great work as always Mr.Fordman!
Your videos are amazing. You don’t talk much which is great! No cussing or vulgar language. You rock buddy
Bending a valve back into alignment. I've never even heard that being suggested but you made it even work. Impressed me there.
Just did the same thing.1962 cj5 setting over 10 yrs.Soaked the cylinders for a week with seafoam and turned it over by hand with a wrench.Then brought it back from the dead.
Браво!!!!!!!Много чего видел,сам ремонтом занимаюсь.....но чтоб такое оживить,да ещё и поехать-это супер мастерство!!!Аплодирую!!!

You bring life to all the people trought the last ride of his cars. Thanks. For the memories. They see you and his toys from the sky.
Far better than any movie I've watched this year!! And never using a funnel to pour anything is a major lowkey power move
I like how you edited together torquing the head bolts like HowToBasic throws eggs.
I’m new here. I’m hooked on your channel. You are a master mechanic doctor …I tip my hat off to you keep bringing these beautiful cars back to life..
I'm so impressed with your perseverance

The Videos better than Netflix and co😅
Excellent work yet again. Not a gear head watching You Tube not entertained by your videos. Most appreciative of your time and effort, many thanks!
just so you know simon- you are the most looked forward to channel of all my subs
Magnificent video! with a touch of poetry in the careful plans on the mechanics.
Thank you for bringing some life back to this Jeep which can now rest in peace.
Thanks Simon.

I suppose you've heard this many times, but like the rest of your portfolio, this video is a real gem of automotive RUclips. Outstanding mechanic skills bordering on necromancy, high-class staging of scenes and extremely soothing overall mood of the videos are your calling card. Well, cats too, there's no way without them. It seems to me that if we convert your creative energy into watts, we can jumpstart every vehicle in our world, even junkyard ones. Can't help but want to mention the work on the script, which I'm sure you have. And which, perhaps, takes away the lion's share of video preproduction. The "farewell" captured in the last minutes of the video is, to me, just a genius of directing. Summarily, Simon, I can't stop admiring you. Thank you for being there.
why are there so many dislikes? because he doesnt talk? what a bunch if jackasses. i love your videos dude keep up the good work!

My first thought: Turn around, walk away.
That was mine too
But you did it, few would even try. Can't wait to see what you do w/it next.
When i saw the open cylinders, my thoughts were the same. Let it sleep....😂
Simon, you are a genius. If you can’t make it run, it is never going to. Amazing. I admire your patience and perseverance.
Руки золотые...👍🏻🤝🏻благодарю за урок!✊🏻
