I know Rocky is co-star on the show but I think he's vying for the lead actor slot, he does have a natural strut and looks tuff. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Can't wait for you to get to a million subscribers and have your envelope get thick to load up the parts cannon. It's so good to see someone replace parts the right way, not just get them to cough and call it revived.
I won't ever take a car to Walmart for ANYTHING ever again. Did once for a battery and oil change, only bc we were in the process of moving, and I had no tools... 3 "technicians" couldn't figure out how to disconnect the battery, and they put lock tight on the oil drain plug......
I know I’m late to the party but I just watched the Thunderbird episodes today. They were awesome! Sleeper dude and Sleeperdude 2 have become my all-time favorite RUclips channels! Keep up the great work!
I love the suicide doors on the rear. That 1967 Ford Thunderbird is coming along nicely. Those kittens are precious, so is Rocky, Scooty and Ellie. Cha cha cha 😺🐶🐕🐈⬛🐐
one thing I must say about the videos and thank you for that is I'm real happy that you are not playing that awful techno/ disco/ elevator music. thank you thank you thank you.
Ear to ear smiles when your bird took flight! The booster might be a rebuild only from boosterdewey but I hope not. Still waiting for the night time tail light shot
Found your channel two days ago and have watched nearly 20 hours already. Loving it. The wife and I are both down with Covid so we are going to see a bunch more in the next few days and looking forward to it. Love you and your family and all the fur babies. Good luck and God bless from Ohio.
We are enjoying watching your channel. I told my husband I bet some people think your daughter is your sister! You have that baby face. I usually don’t like watching car stuff but am Enjoying watching your channel with my husband. He loves working on vehicles.
In the past I owned one of these as well as the following Tbirds a 62 a 64 and a67 I loved them all!! All of them had wonderful interiors Especially the 67 which was like a fighter Jet!
When we were kids the bums in town drank Thunderbird wine. We would say , Whats the word ,THUNDERBIRD when we saw them ! lol Nothing more fun then tearing it up in an old beater field car.
I got frustrated watching Sleeper and you must’ve been going crazy trying to make that bucket of rust to idle, but you unwinded having great fun with your daughter. Cheers Steve 🍺🍺🍺
You little helper needs a set of Sleeperdude flipflops, and he would be about push the brake peddle down. On your brakes, it might be the booster or the proportional value. Just a good ole boy that just want to have fun, it may not be the General Lee but she does run.
I like that you are a family oriented channel. And your my neighbor in Tennessee. I actually see your black chevy truck in Athens quite a bit...Keep up the awesome content brother.
you could store lots of junk in the 67s trunk. BUT it would need to very, very light, anything heavy is just going to fall right through. Sweet floor pan fix 😱 🤣 👍👍
I had a 1967 Thunderbird two-door in 1984. The 427 would spin the tires on blacktop as long as you held the gas down! I loved that car! I redid the front brakes on those double piston calipers shortly after I first got the car... The first time I hit the brakes it almost put me through the windshield, lol
I think that's potentially the coolest car in your fleet. Never understood why those old T birds never appreciated like many of the other classics but would love to see you do some more work on this one especially! Cool ride!!
I had a triple black ‘69 one back around late 1980s, bought for $500 in reasonable condition. Drove it 2-3 years on the road, + another 5 on the farm. Wish I could remember why we gave up on road-driving it.
Fords of that era also shifter-interlock issues. Many times you would have to pull and hold the shifter up when it was in park in order for it to start.
I have a 67 Tbird and 70 Mark lll. The issue you refer to is generally one of two problems. ONE the linkage bushing over time dry out and crack giving you way too much slack in the shifter linkage system. The other problem is the neutral safety switch just needs a slight adjustment. One you have to push hard upwards to start it it means neutral switch needs to be loosened and slide to the RIGHT just a tad. Maybe like 1/16-1/8”. Been there done that. Only issue with the bushings is there’s I believe THREE different sizes in the linkage. One in a stationary bracket, one where transmission shift shaft meets a shit linkage, and there’s one - two more I. There I forget what location. I changed all mine with NOS bushings and it’s awesome. No slop, and Park and Neutral allow car to start everytime!! Been wrenching since I’m 14, I’m 55 now so ……. Lol on the booster. I had Booster Dewey redo mine and that was about 28 years ago and it’s still fine!!
I had same deal so I just cut a notch out where the tire weight was and slammed the hub cap back on ! It has-been on for almost five years on my 72 Impala . Sure GREAT how you really kept your COOL especially with the idiots at the tire place even if Ralphie or WaWa were not around ! Headed to SleepeeDude2 right now.
Those Continentals, Thunderbirds and Mercs of the era were "Vacuum Nightmares"... But, like anything else, they ran quite nicely when they were "right". You'll figure it out, sooner or later!
I remember these cars new as my neighbor across the street bought one new. Anyway, the brake booster is the 2nd ugliest job you can perform on one of these but here are a few tips I learned along the way. 1) You do have a bad brake booster. 2) There's a TBird parts place in KY that had them (or at least they did twenty years ago). 3) You will go through several until you find one that was rebuilt correctly. 4) They're expensive. 5) Buy the booster and master cylinder as a matched pair. You have to work inside and outside of the car to replace these.....in/out, in/out, etc. behind the dash on the cabin side firewall are two or three bolts that hold it on. Long skinny arms help here. There is an adjustment rod with an adjustment sleeve like tie rod ends that have to be adjusted to match booster to MC (this is why you buy them together as a matched set). The rod governs how much boost. A bad booster will suck the pedal to the floor locking your brakes up if they are adjusted correctly and you have to pull the plastic check valve out of the booster on the engine side to release the vacuum pressure but they will also release themselves in about 5-8 hours. Before street test drive, make sure emergency brake works as it should. Emergency brakes are mechanical but released by vacuum module when shifter moves from park to drive. I don't know how I stumbled on your channel but it was very entertaining. Personally I would have picked a TBird in better condition but that one will be a great teacher if you don't get mad and torch it first! I used to be a Ford man until the 2nd wife got me hooked on Mercedes. Good luck and contact me if you get stuck.
Ya for the T-bird aside from the earliest version of the T-birds... this particular year rocks kinda like the 72 road runner for the Chrysler crowd... cept this T-bird is Ford and therefore... so much cooler :-))
For a brake booster, you are going to have to send yours in to one of the t-bird specialty companies like Mac's Auto Parts Thunderbird Headquarters or The Birds Nest.
I’m sorry it was so difficult for you, but it’s great to see such a relatable video. I think we have all been there a time or 2 hundred. 😂 Just found your videos and love them. You got a new subscriber from Atlanta, friend! 👍🏼
Those breaks look a lot the ones on my '65 T bird they are huge! Mine still needs a lot of work, I have just pulled the entire dash assembly because I have to change all the vacuum lines and the vacuum lines and test the vacuum motors... oh joy. I would love to see you work on a '61 - '66 T bird.... God bless.
Robert at the old Big A auto parts in Liberty NC is my main go to for old car parts, Napa auto parts in Asheboro NC is another good place to look for old car parts
love your segments of getting old cars to run and i'll keep watching you seem your my favorite by the way if you anyone interrested in a 96 exsplorer 2wheel drive I'm selling mine for 600.00 dollars runs won't go forward will back up new water pump new brakes on rear I start it every other day. in pretty good shape.
You are doing well, I just bought a brake booster from Pat Wilsons T bird from an ad I saw, I searched for 3 months for one and finally found one for my Tbird.
That T-BIRD deserves proper restoration, interior is unique and looks much more stylish and luxurious than some of the larger cars like Cadillacs and Lincolns, only sportier. So in my opinion, the interior including; floors, dash and upholstery should be redone to original as best as possible. Engine bay should also be black with the Thunderbird- blue valve covers painted with signature blue. I can imagine a deep rich turquoise paint with graphite black casing rims with a bright inner logo in center.
Great video! I really like the '67 and I hope you do more work on her, as frustrating as it must be. Btw, I just watched a YT video of a '67 390 sold 2 years ago, very similar to yours, completely restored that sold for 30K.
Another great video! I never saw a 67 thunderbird 4 4dr with all vinyl seats, my father had 2 1967 Ford thunderbird 4drs and both had cloth in center of the seats. 1 car had black interior and other 1 had turquoise interior. Good luck finding a brake booster for it! A friend of mine works for Ford dealership in parts department. I'll contact him Monday to see if he can find you one. Take care.
Very few cars get parked under a tree for 30 years because there’s nothing wrong with it, Maybe the bird was parked because that’s how it ran Rocky is the GOAT
Rocky is like my dog Chubby has to be in my lap when I do videos. Sometimes old cars just have a lot of little quirks and bugs to fix in them pretty much what I think you have going on with that T Bird.
I wonder with that old power booster brake system if the engine running it might make bleeding the brakes a little easier ............ It did work on my old merc ! P.S. dude that floor on the passengers side came out awesome ! Shoot , Who would knock that job to the bad side .......... A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ROCKY , , , HOW COOL IS THAT GOAT !
I know Rocky is co-star on the show but I think he's vying for the lead actor slot, he does have a natural strut and looks tuff. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

I’m pretty sure the wipers are vacuum operated as are the power locks
@@kylepicks8624 lock tight or torque seal? I highly doubt they used lock tight...
It is so refreshing to see someone take light of a failure but really it's not a failure you're still learning more and more everyday we all do

That T-BIRD deserves proper restoration, interior is unique and looks much more stylish and luxurious than some of the larger cars like Cadillacs and Lincolns, only sportier.
