Hey Craig I learned this trick from my Grandfather ,you take an oil can squirt can and a short piece of hose,fill the squirt can with brake fluid and start at the right rear to pump the fluid up to the master with the cap off and that way you are pushing the air out of the master,it makes it easy to bleed your brakes all by yourself,I learned this back in the early sixties
Good evening, I learned to bleed brakes this way working on aircraft brakes. They have a really effective power bleeder to do this. It makes rock hard brakes on aircraft. I bought one of these bleeders to do auto brakes. It works great, no air whatsoever. Thanks for the advise. You take care and good luck.
Craig, I'm a life time Ford guy. As are most of my friends. We all consider the 64 Galaxy 500 to be the most beautiful full size Ford ever built. Thank you for bringing two back to life!!
Right on Craig. Been watching your vids for 3 years. I like the fact that you're not afraid to get your hands dirty and just go for it. Reminds me of myself when I was your age. That was 40 years ago! Keeping the old iron on the road from a young builder is why I watch. Well done.
It looks great Craig! Great job. As an old guy, who use to do this kind of stuff when I was your age, it warms my soul that you get the same charge of putting work into an old car as I and many of us did. You are living proof that the next generation of hotrodders is alive and well. Said with the utmost respect. You must have fantastic parents as well. I live in Ca. too. It aint easy. 😀🇺🇲
Dam it looks great on the ground. I'm impressed that your doing all the work outside and not in a shop I rather see someone work on there car like us normal people that don't have a shop and have to work on there cars in the driveways or back yards like you . Keep up the great work
WOW!!! Craig I'm so impressed with what you do. Actually showed this video to all the guys in the shop we(bunch of old guys) share. It's like launching a new ship, you should be extremely proud of yourself.
Incredible stance! Thank you, Craig for bringing this content to us, it's like we are all your friends following this amazing build. You have been putting out so many videos with such great content lately. I can feel your sense of accomplishment each time you reach a milestone in a build. Keep it coming!
Great job Craig, looks great. Heres another by yourself brake bleeding tip. Crack your bleeder and put a oil resistant hose on it, run the hose into a clear bottle with some fluid in it and pump the brakes until the bubbles stop and tighten the bleeder. I have been doing it this way for 40+ years with no problems. Oh yeah, then you can just refill the master with what you put in the bottle.
Keep up the good work /content !!!!!! I know the feeling when you say the feeling of achievement by looking at what you created... That car is going to be bad ass dude ....
You an I have had a many conversation over the years and I had suggested this and you balled me out saying that going to high school or maybe starting college ain't cheap yet here you are and to say the least, you did very good, all is well with me as I did realize how hard it was plus with keeping the truck going was taking the lunch money ... I am seriously proud of your work and how its turned out. Kudo's
Hey brotha, that galaxy looks dope that low on the big rims good job... im into as low as you can get them and big white walls but i have to say this looks awesome...🤘🤘
I got a 64 Galaxie with 65,000 original on it. It’s a pretty nice car and I am trying to work the Grampa out of her. Not going as far as you did, (might in the future). Just wanted to give you a 👍 for a job well done.
No!!!!! The stash hahahha 😆 gotta do it for the girlfriend! Dude you did perfect its clean af already, wow dude you killed it can't wait for the first drive around the block
I can’t wait to see what color you pick for this car. Some ideas of colors popped in my mind but I can’t wait to see the color you choose. But man that is stupid how good the fitment is on such a cool custom build.
One man brake bleeding is very simple . use the hose you were using but put the hose in a bottle with fluid in the bottle and the end of the hose in the brake fluid in the bottle . That way when you pump and release the brake pedal no air will be sucked back in the system . Do that on each wheel .
Love early 60's full size Ford's! Good job so far! Since you have the holes cut into the trunk pan for the rear coilovers, bar has been added. Hmm, would it really be that hard to continue an go with lever style shock system? Since you're in already half way there.
Nice car. I have to say, you run 3/16' on front lines to discs and 1/4' to rear drums. Also, bleeding you start at passenger rear to drivers rear, then to passenger front to drivers front. Farthest away from master cylinder to closest. After bench bleeding the master cylinder before installation.
Sean couldn't have put it any better! "Oh my God!" Was exactly what I was thinking when I saw that Galaxie back on it's wheels. That thing looks awesome! Please don't put a vinyl roof on this car, the metal work you did on this Galaxie turned out so well it would be a crying shame to cover it up with vinyl and have the roof rot out again.
Some cars look exaggerated when they're dropped like that. That era Galaxie looks natural like some others of that era. They just flow from front to rear and follow the ground lines. Sweet.
Hmm... by the time you add all the interior pieces, fluids and bodies, you may need more of those two inches than you thought. I can remember back when you started on here; you've come a very long way. Congrats and take the time to get it right as you move forward.
Ok buddy i ordered you something so next time can bleed brakes alone. No not a vacuum system. Its a Eugene's back yard repair dyi and it will blow ur mind how easy it is. Ttyl and love the Galaxy build
Amazing doesn't begin to describe the stance of that car. Great job. I forget did you ever mention what color you're going to paint this car? I'm excited to see this thing running Drive. 👍🏻💯💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
An explanation for why the front of the MC feeds the rear and vice versa..... The MC bore is milled from the rear and the front of the bore is smaller than the rear of the bore. In a Disc/Drum system the front calipers require much more fluid to operate than the rear brake cylinders. Small MC bore to rear, large MC bore to front. Simple.
Dang bro I remember talking about rc cars on Xbox and u building the f100 to the ultimate track truck and hopefully one day can meet up and cruise in my 91’ Silverado

Thanks! Not a bad idea
I’ve never heard of doing it that way but it makes sense and sounds like it should be easier than some of the other ways I have used.

Looking good. That car has come a really long way.

Hey brother, your galaxy looks awesome. You did an amazing job on the suspension.
Thanks for all the great content. 😎🏁
Amazing work. Going to be a beast!!!!
That thing is low. Looks good.

Good job Craig, looks really good.
I am absolutely loving the censor sound
You should be proud of that work you have done a great job on it keep up the great work
Car looks badass man can't wait to see it driving
Does the front rub at full lock under compression? When cornering the outside will compress...
Anyway, looking great.
When you paint it use a single stage urethane, you don't need any clear coat. Won't have to worry about it later and you can buff it.
Hmm... by the time you add all the interior pieces, fluids and bodies, you may need more of those two inches than you thought. I can remember back when you started on here; you've come a very long way. Congrats and take the time to get it right as you move forward.
Looks great Craig. I think you'll need more than just a little, pre-load in the rear. Lol. She's LOW
Great job on those quarters!
Awesome Awesome job man can't get it any better than that.
So stoked to finally see this beast on its own wait
You Did a nice job on the body very impressed
So awesome, I love galaxies. Great work
Great job! Truly impressive. Are you going to name here after the new telescope in space? From Michigan.

Looking good 👍bud ,I know you was talking about doing it in all white, man don't you think that's kinda dull, throw some pearl at it to be different
Been waiting on the truck frame
I bought a steam cleaner off Amazon and it made cleaning the grease around the engine and tranny easy peasy

Just think how much better you'll be at body and metal than when you started, when you tackle the red car. Thats the one you want to make mint right?
Not knocking the tremendous work and great job youve done on this one by any means
Looks good mate 🙂
That looks bananas 🍌.
Damn. It looks soooo freakin good.
Very nice work!
AMD cover the sheet metal for hanging that banner?
Dang bro I remember talking about rc cars on Xbox and u building the f100 to the ultimate track truck and hopefully one day can meet up and cruise in my 91’ Silverado
That’s the way those cars should look, good job
That old girl looks amazing! Thanks
That is so sick!!!!!
Looking good!
The new black label album haha 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Nice job 🤘

Nice stance! One inch higher in the back just so it’s level or a tad higher than the front and that will be dope af!
