I'm so glad I found this channel. Such a cool car. Can't wait to see you start some bodywork and paint on here. Great video!
Me too thank you
Harder than the GED test. Lol... love your videos. Great job!
Thanks
Keep them Falcon videos coming really enjoy them.. picked up a 62 about 4 months ago.. I love these Birds even if they don’t have the power..
I plan on making this one have some power soon
Your commitment to exterior drive shots is impressive. Also, cool car. My brother had a 1963 Falcon wagon as a teen that my dad (and us kids "helping") did our first engine rebuild on. After about two miles, it was also our second engine rebuild, with important lessons learned!
That’s funny I’ve been there too I had one lose oil pressure and never drove anywhere
A three inch exhaust pipe is way to big for that little six. You will lose most of your torque. Two inch would be plenty.
@@jeromebreeding3302 Respectfully, I'd recommend watching Engine Masters sometime as they help dispel that and many other exhaust myths with dyno testing. They have a few episodes on exhaust. Plus, as he mentioned, it's a placeholder for future plans.
@@blautens I know exhaust pipes can be too small. My Ranchero with 351 Cleveland a lumpy cam was wheezing with 2 inch pipes, so I went to two and one half. Big improvement.
@@jeromebreeding3302 Yes, too small is often bad, but the myth that too large reduces all back pressure and the myth that "engines like a little back pressure" is specifically what I'm referring to. What engines can benefit from is exhaust scavenging, which is enhanced typically by long tube headers in aftermarket applications but has really become an elevated science lately in the variable design in some factory turbocharged engines where alternate cylinder path pulsing evacuates combustion and also accelerates turbine speed. But all other things being equal, I'm not aware of any data that shows too large of an exhaust diameter will reduce torque (not referring to running with no headers or manifolds at all, of course, which poses other concerns).
I'm loving it! Keep popping those trim pcs on there. You're doing great!
Thank you
Te está quedando muy bien , como lo estás armando al Falcón , te felicito , yo tongo un Falcon versión de Argentina.
Thanks for showing us those classics. Many of us would not have the opportunity to meet them. Your love for cars is contagious bro. God bless you.
Thank you
Very nice video! Thank you for sharing with us the charm of this pretty car. It sounds really amazing. In Argentina the car was made until 1992, so it's quite well known by many Brazilians. Best regards from Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil.
Wow that’s cool I didn’t realize they made them that long there
VERY cool video, love the straight six sound and with that muffler, its beefy for sure. YES, love the old ad brochures, I also love older boat brochures, its a hoot to see those photos of the old times. Dicker was a term used for bargaining or negotiating, no dicker prices, means no negotiations required. This car sounded like my 1976 Gremlin 232 inline six, think it was a 232.
Ok thank you
Older auto, use diesel 50w. Had a Chevy Astro lots of miles. Used the Diesel. 85 year old run runner wrench twister. God bless. 🐻🙏
Ok thanks
Man this car looks amazing, I really love the black rims and pizza cutters.
Me too
I LOVE THAT YOU FOLKS AND ROCKY ARE FIXING THAT CAR MORE AND MORE A PAINT JOB STRIPES,,,, CAPS YA!!! WHEN I LOOK AT THE DASH I ALWAYS LOOK AT THAT OLD GEN LIGHT IS IT A DUMMY LIGHT ( CAN YOU SHUT IT OFF) CAR SHOW NEXT ,, I NEED TO WATCH .. BACK TO THE SHOW!!! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO PEACE.....
Thank you
That was fun dude. Its coming together nicely just one thing straiten the steering wheel it looks like your always turning left lol. Cheers
Yeah I need to take the steering wheel off and straighten it up you are right
Falcon was a great car. My wife dad worked at ford and was a mechanic and at the time they had a for school. Well, it was fun. Her sister got a Falcon one that was blue, and I think it was a 64. I at one time loved working on cars. I give my 86 Corvette show car to my grandson. 2 years ago.
That’s awesome
Love your videos. We live in the same area. Amazing when I saw you hauling cars on Hwy 11.
That’s great
Nice work....quite a difference with the trim, scallops and stance!
Thanks man
Try and lubricate the speedometer cable. It might run smoother.
Ok I will
the wipers has a week springs, you could buy new arms but they make blades with anti left it works well.
Good idea
Like the exhaust, looks and sounds good. The trim and paint helps the look. Kind of a fan of these cars because we own a 63 Fairlane. Maybe you should sing Garth's 8 second ride for you trip.
Thank you good idea
I bought a 62 falcon in 65 for 600 bucks and fix or repair daily stuff began but i loved it . i traded in in on a 68 Malibu it cost 2865 new 10 years later a 77 Malibu . so on and so forth now at 80 years my wife and i have a 2008 Jetta ad a 98 pick up . love your family and show .RD
Heard you on the Ramsey Show and had to check you out! Love how funny you are. Like a real life Earl Dibbles Jrs but smart!
I feel like this could have been a couple videos rather than one long video.
OK thank you for checking my channel
Heard you on the Ramsey Show and had to check you out!
Same!!!
Wondering how much of a bump in subs Ramsey gave you?
Keep the mustache... you look Mexican.... 😆 😳😳😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am glad you and your son got home safely ❤️
Me too
Neat car!!!! Liked your stop at Taco 🌮 Bell 🛎!!! Yummy 🤤
It was good
Awesome…looking better every time. You’re getting more comfortable with each video, too. It’s nice to see. Can’t wait to see the next one, ya’ whipper-snapper!! 😂
Thank you
How many people went to Facebook looking for falcons for sale.😆
That’s funny
Just keep doing what your doing Sleeperdude. Love your content, and you are the real deal, natural hometown dude. Cant go wrong with Garth Brooks, cars and wrenching on stuff.
Thank you
Thank you
Make sure you pop the steering shaft loose from the steering gearbox and straighten out that steering wheel. That’s what I did on my 61 ford f100.
Ok thank you
@@Sleeperdude you’re welcome
The old ads are cool, I used to always grab brochures when we went to the dealer for service when I was a kid. It fueled the love for cars.
Yeah my dad always had old dealership ads
you should have pinted those springs when you had then off lolollol
Yeah probably
Great work making a lot out of a little! That Falcon looks super cool!
Thank you
not gonna lie i think that yellow tape with the black paint looked hot!! maybe add yellow and black pinstripe when you do the paint job?
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite automotive channels. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you
Me gusta mucho tu canal miro todos los videos, el Ford falcon es un clásico en argentina, primero se importo de ee.uu en el 1962 y luego se nacionalizo y se fabrico por 30 años con varios modelos asta el 1991., en RUclips hay muchos videos del Alcón
Thanks so much
Love the old advertisement. Takes me back in time.
I do too
Por favor necesito q de manera urgente le cambie el aceite al diferencial y la caja de cambios, y la cruceta de la dirección!! Muy buena la restauración 👏👏👏
Looking good my friend, adjust the alignment on the fly by tighten up ratchet straps.
That’s great 😂
Hope you get the windshield wipers working soon...good to have when it rains...eh? All that hard work builds a good appetite for tacos...good lookin old Falcon! Thanks for sharing Josh....God bless!
I hope so too!
"17 and a half and a couple of them short marks ". I LOVE THIS DUDE.
Thank you
Yeah, like 8 bananas and a bit 🤣
you have other video after de cleaning? or you put the key and painted the blue part of camera?
Great to watch your new videos and everytime your subscribers grow. You and Vice Grip are definatly my favorite to watch
Thank you I am honored to be mentioned in that group
I love those old Falcons. I had a 61 and a 64. Loved that 61. Cars are so easy to work on! Ford sold 600,000 of those in it's first year. Car was a perfect family or work car.
I love them
OIL LIGHT FIX
Take off your oil pressure switch probably by the oil filter clean it and look at it stamped.... NC normally CLOSED circuit.. NO normally OPEN circuit.. you want NC engine OFF... you probably have one laying around
Ok thank you
Damn that sounds good
Thank you
Probably already mentioned 100x, but “dickering” is an old-school term for “negotiating”. Ya whipper-snapper 😂
Looks SO much better lowered. Great vid!
Thank you
I love those old advertisements. Great video, very interesting, keep 'em coming.
Ok thank you for letting me know
No entiendo nada, pero me encanta el falcon 6L. Gracias 😜😜
Nice. Would like to find me an old builder to work on with my boys.
It’s a good thing to do
Have you seen Billy & Tommy's LiL Falcon from the SRC Channel?? That thing is straight up B.A. !!! It's a Street/N.P. Beast!!! Check it out if not. They are a Gr8 family and racers alike. Thnx for the Gr8 content brother!!
No I haven’t seen it thanks
I so love the shape of that car❤️🚗💕👌🥰😻
Me too
Drain your oil and fill with Valvoline 20W50 VR1 racing oil then see what your oil pressure does. Old engines hate modern low viscosity oil. You also need ZDDP additive to help your cam survive! VR1 contains ZDDP (zinc). Also drain your transmission and fill with the factory grade trans fluid. Avoid additives as they wreck your transmission in the long run! Trust me I've been doing this for a long time. 😀
Ok thank you that is what I did with the engine after this video
Drove a Falcon from NC to Tx
6 banger did a great job.
Lived there for a while. Still had Falcon and drove it back across Texas and all the way home.
Still running good. Had guys at
Auto class rebuild engine, did a great job. Kept for couple of years and finally traded it in.
Light blue with blue tuck and roll interior. Great little car.
That sounds awesome
Good Morning Sleeperdude 2. What a Gorgeous car and love the Lowering of the Springs and Shock Absorbers. I have just found your 2nd website. Have a Great day. Jonathan.
Thank you I appreciate it
Falcon is looking better. Glad you made it back from the car show. Will be watching 👍
Thank you
Only just started watching your videos so you may have been told this before but I found this online...
What does the slang term Dicker mean?
to haggle or bargain
To dicker is to haggle or bargain. When you buy something at a yard sale, you often have to dicker over the price. When you dicker, you negotiate, often with some arguing or going back and forth.
Ok thanks for letting me know
Best, easiest rust remover...50% white vinegar/water mix. Let soak 2 to 3 days, shaking or stirring several times a day. Sand or bb's also help in the mix for deep rust. It will just fall off. leaving steel and paint untouched and shiny clean. Just wash off with mild soap and water to remove the acid from the vinegar. It really works, is cheap and leaves metal shiny clean, ready for whatever you want next. You will be amazed!
Ok thanks. yes we are gonna try the vinegar
Drove a 1959 1/2 Ford Falcon. Couldn't kill it. Drove it through Hurricane Agnes. Bought a new car and sold the Falcon for 40 dollars. Last car I had with a manual choke. Easy to work on.
Wow that’s crazy
Don’t you think you better put a floor pans in first ❤️✌️😻😍💕🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nah it’ll be fine
They don't make car's like that anymore. Thanks for the video's. Just glad to be busy working. But haven't had time to drive my 1966 Ford Thunderbird.
You are right they don’t thank you
Lube the Speedoe cable that should fix your bounce. Trans could need a filter change, Had an old Fairlane with a Ford-O-Matic that had bad shifting ,I think it was the vacuum modulator but can't be sure , that was a long time ago.
Ok thank you
I know a guy here where I live that has a 63 1/2 Falcon Sprint.260 V-8 with a 3 spd floor shift.Beautiful car.
Awesome I love Falcons
Exhaust sounds good a two speed fordoslush was crap anyway an upgrade is the answer The Mk3 Zephyr(UK) 4 speed manual was an option on US falcons and should bolt right in iff you can find one
Ok thank you
I wouldn't trust those Ebay gauges. I just bought some of the exact same ones and oil psi was off by 10 and temp was 120 dead cold. Put some Summit Racing gauges in and they are accurate.
Ok thanks that’s good to know
Man there are almost no people working on 60 to 63 Falcons on.RUclips. you are gwtting stuff going qiicklytoo.
Love the 64 wagon...to bad it os probably a parts car.
Yeah I love the Falcons
Just from my perspective young man why don't yall wash and clean vehicle (windows) before you take it on the highway with minimal visibility young man!
I probably should
Dicker means to like hagle the price I think 🤔. Or Dicker hell... I hardly know her !!! 🙂🙂 Live the Falcon!!
Ok thank you
Even though this is an older video I love it I wish you would find an old 1962 Ford fair lane And work on it, That was my very 1st car and I loved it even though the brake shoes kept falling out
Thank you I like those too
This car needs an upgrade on suspension and a cammed up 302. Yep. Get a 302 from a 70 mustang or a 4 banger like we have in our Ford titanium escape, turbo.
Yes hopefully soon
I heard you on the Dave Ramsey show. Neighbor just across the river from you (Soddy Daisy). New sub.
Awesome thanks for watching
Amazing!! Love that beefy sound!
The Aussie ad is funny, Falcons there were so bad Ford nearly gave up they literally fell to pieces and not in the outback they could not cope4 with city use Ford made major suspension and body integrity changes to make them saleable
Thank you
Tell u the best for shining those hubcaps is peanut butter. Yep.. put it on real lightly with a piece of bread, and perfect. The sandwich that is... dont know much about the caps
Ok thanks
I guess that 2 speed transmission has next to no mileage potential so you might as well make it fast, though I would get a high mileage commuter going first, like a 2.3 Fairmont. The outside mirrors cut mileage, so I would have worked on the center mirror, though a mileage Metro guy managed to put side mirrors inside on the corners of the dashboard and make them work.
Good idea
That why I hate the electric oil gauges you don't know for sure. Everything is Chinese. Ahhh! Man it's rooster approved too!
Yep
I believe that you are doing what some might call a crime but that if I called it would be a crime of passion as you are out enjoying the car like you should do. Hell if it blew up, a tow truck driver with the same last name might come get you off the highway. As for engines, Might just slip that tractor engine in as it starts a runs like a swiss watch. Parts for that will get expensive when you slide a 260 tripower under the hood, functional supercharger with say a mild twenty pounds boost on it. Might get a ten second car out of it but that would take it from driver to a whole different car for sure
Good ideas
i would love to see you boost one of these old straight 6's
that ford probably has a two speed automatic. Those trans, like many use a vacuum modulator to control the shift point. Some are adjustable, that one probably is not. check the hose, consider replacing it.
I checked the hose it is hooked up and working
That second falcon isn't from Mexico. It is was from Argentina, they made it in 1962 to 1991.
Oh OK thank you for letting me know
I just subscribed not long ago today. Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina.
That’s awesome thank you
speedometer cable is sticky when the needle bounces. Ive owned 4 Falcons. Have a 67Fairlane now.
Yes I fix it in a later video
Dude! That needs a small block Ford under the hood. Perhaps a size the conversion? That is a cool little car! That would be my hot rod!
I have a 302 and 5 speed going in soon
Wow! Great job on the filming and editing. Just need more Rocky.. lol
Keep up the great work
Thank you
If I had something like that I could Drive myself to the doctor. And Not miss many More doctors appointments
Yep
It's a shame that America can't, won't make a car like that again. One that runs forever and that you can work on yourself.
I just don't understand. 🤤
I’m with you I would love to buy one brand new
I'm thinkin' you got a whole bunch of welding to do.. I reckon you probably need a speedo cable too. Cheers 🥂
I think you are right
My first car 1968 4 door falcon light blue mygrandfather and I bought it together r I p grandpa d
That’s cool
no no no ,,the small block chevy looks like a y block ford....you shudda centered the steering wheel when you did the alignment
I will get to it eventually
Throw some Marvel Mystery Oil in Your fuel buddy probably about 10 ounces to a tank
Ok thank you
On my old Ford trucks that I put original hubcaps back on I put a small dab of urethane or good silicone on the rim bevel so you can still get hubcaps off. and put hub caps on its extra insurance they stay on on rough roads that you don't loose one when there hard to find.
I was worried about that
When.it.comes to the.floors in these cars give it.2 coats of a product.valled Rust Eater or another product called Lanotech.
Ok thank you
The name of the movie was Korina Korina, she was driving through traffic and trying to get the little girl to smile, and so she acted like she was doing magic by blowing and making the lights turn green.
Ok thank you I couldn’t remember
You mentioned where showed the support braces that it been in a accident what you may want to try is on the radiator support take a come a long and pull out from the front radiator support to give you more clearance between the radiator and fan. You’re right on the Ranchero. Dicker means Jew them down on the price to get cheaper.on the electric gauges mechanical is the only way to go.
Ok thank you
I really miss my old cars and trucks I had a I had a falcon station wagon man if I just had those cars and trucks back I would be in hog heaven
Awesome
Great channel to watch. I had a Falcon
Thank you
I would remove the oil sending unit and clean out the hole, could be blocked a little, run the engine to see what the flow is while it's out. I would bleed the line to, I would run just 30w oil the old Babbitt bearings usually have some slop
I’m going to switch back to the other gauge I had and see what it says
Do the Shelby drop. AKA the Arning Drop. Drops the suspension and improves geometry.
Ok thanks
There's a electrical switch on the back side of the instrument panel that is bad, causing the original gauges not to work and the odometer to jump around.
Ok thanks
Dicker is popular in the North East. loosely it means to negotiate. Keep posting the old ads, it was a big deal, back when.
Ok thank you I wasn’t familiar
Loved this video, loved the upgrades, dam shes looking fine now, gotta sort out that key start and the oil gauge..looks good lowered too, great video and man I luv those old adverts 💖👍
Thank you. Yes I love the old advertisements as well
These in good condition are getting low 30k’s in Australia now.
Enjoying these videos you are doing
Wow that’s a lot thanks for watching
