You’re the most slept on channel in the automotive RUclips niche. No annoying and overplayed cornball antics. You actually show what you’re doing from a POV, not just a wide shot to leave us imagining the repair. I hope your channel takes off big time.
It's refreshing to see a young guy these days who worked on getting a classic American car back on the road. The new wheels, tires and clean up made a huge difference in the Old Bow Tie's looks. A big thumbs up. 👍
This is as straightforward and relevant as it ever could be. A man who knows exactly what he is doing and how to do it. Just watch and learn. No schtick, no music, no jump cuts, no narration, no distractions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My mom had a 57 with a 283.. My dad bought it for her on her birthday in 1962 ... I was born a month later & she had it until I was 7... My dad finally talked her into selling it by tempting her with a new 69' Impala with a 327 & a 4 speed on the floor ... She always said she regretted selling it , but when I was in high school , I found a 57 the same color ... It didnt have an engine or a transmission , but in the late 70's you could buy a chevy small block for close to scrap price ... It came with a column shift , but I went to the salvage yard & bought a column . Then I found a 327 bolted to a 4 speed & put it together in my uncles garage... I drove it home & when she saw it she teared up ... I drove it to school sometimes , but mostly my mom drove it to run errands .. She even got her 1st speeding ticket in it at the age of 40...
The thing I've always loved about the older inline 6 engines is that (for the most part) everything is very accessible. Kudos for replacing the six with a six. Too many people seem to think an oversized V8 needs to be shoehorned into any car like this. Have to say, I kind of like the understated styling of the '56 Chev. It's not a bad design. Watching this was so much fun, I'm going to do it again once the subtitles are uploaded!
Great job. I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into making a video like this. And I'm talking about filming, camera set up and editing. The mechanical work I can relate to.
This kid stays busy thats for sure. It's pretty sad that you only get $18 for an engine for scrap. I like how he uses older tools. They are better quality by far
Agree. Even if a tattoo bearer is a kind, genuine person, tattoos still indicate insecurity or even trauma. Many people have them out of a need to be “set apart.” Having clean skin IS a refreshing aesthetic choice, especially for a younger person. And aesthetics do matter, despite the constant media programming to the contrary.
@@ryanj116 I like this insightful observation. It's the same with loud exhaust that some feel makes them more of a gearhead v knucklehead desperately in need of attention.
Dude, you have one of the best Car Porn sites on RUclips. This from an older dude, I so miss spending a days scrapping a crusty engine bay with a putty knife. Your excellent editing and lack of banter and pets is refreshing. Keep up the good work young man. You Rock!
I really appreciate the no talking approach! I can’t stand the know it all types that think they need to explain every stupid detail! You do awesome work!!
Old cars are simple, more than enough space forthewholefamily, a strong body, and friendly with the driver, easy to maintain and the most important thing that they were not costing that much.
When I was 10, my father bought a used 1956 Chevrolet 210, 4door, 6 cylinder, manual transmission in the light blue color I see on your car peeking out from underneath the repaint of darker blue. Wish I could ride in that car one more time with my father. Like many of us on your channel, many of the memories of my youth revolve around cars. Thanks for spending the time putting together a 2 hour video. It was worth the wait. Your mechanical and video skills continue to impress. Looking forward to your next show!
I had a 1953 Chevrolet 4 door Bell aire with the same motor, it was a great running car, it had a bad synchronizer in the transmission and would jump out of high gear sometimes, watching you brings back the memories of that good old car
Love the ‘56! I’ve owned two in my lifetime. I was born in 1956, so I am a huge fan of these cars. I hope to buy another one soon. Good job on all the maintenance work you did!
Man I need some of your skill set, and youth. I'm 65 this month and trying to get an 85 K10 road worthy but I'm struggling. I envy your knowledge and vigor!
I wish you was in California. Can’t find a mechanic like you out here. Not if you aren’t willing to pay $$$$. Keep doing what you are doing. These types of skills are diminishing. Love watching.
I was already into what you were doing and then you rolled in the chrome reverse wheels and white walls. Absolutely spot on! And I don't know where you scored the old jerry can, but, just more magic.
the best channel in the world for mechanics lovers! so informative, so relaxing, so interesting, so funny sometimes, beautiful images, beautiful cars, a real journey through time! thank you a thousand times for your work from France!
you're an inspirational young man! Each time I watch one of your videos, I stop in the middle and go work on my car! Thank you for the variety of cars and bikes you work on and for the smart filming... comments you put on CC are very useful, keep up the good work!
1:16:29 Меня больше всего восхищает приобретение новых запчастей. Пошёл и принёс новый указатель уровня топлива в бензобаке!!! Всё бы ничего, но Шевроле 40-летней давности!
Man, your work with the camera is ART. You bring out exactly what we love about old skool vehicles... the form, the function, the sheer coolness of decades past.
I"m amazed at all the knowledge you have for such a young man. Because you are always cleaning something, can I suggest the best cleaner around. It's called Spray Nine and it has a glass cleaner too. I'm sure you will see a difference if you use it. Enjoying seeing a true mechanic at work. Thanks
I was a light wheeled vehicle mechanic in the military for 26 years. Watching your videos reminds me of me and my buddies working on each other's cars on the weekend. I call your videos the real-world of automotive mechanic maintenance that the common man and all others can directly relate to. Your hard work and dedication to see each and every one of your vehicle projects completed is greatly appreciated by your fans here. Keep up the exceptional work. "SUBSCRIBED"!
Just found your channel a couple of days ago, it’s great. As an old parts man, but not a very good mechanic, I REALLY admire your skills! Please keep those very well done and informative videos coming.
Simply outstanding! I am in awe of your engineering ability and inventiveness - and I am a Chartered Engineer in the UK! Just keep them coming......please.....!
Nice video of bringing a classic back to life. I done a many one from my youth until now. I'm retired now and can't afford it anymore so I love to watch these video's and reminisce . Thanks
I had a '56 Chevy 210 2 door sedan back in the day. Bought it in 1969, it was my 2nd car. It also had the 235 cu in engine. A friend had me convinced to yank it out and put in a 348 cu in from a '58 Impala. Fortunately (or not) the 348 had a cracked block, so the 235 stayed in it. From this video, I see now what I might have faced if I had gone that route. Later on I might have been mechanically able, but not at 17 yrs old. This video was great! Thanks for helping me relive some memories!
Escapes me too. Time hopefully cures this. With YT Premium I don't suffer commercials and hopefully SF can endure sans 'sponcers' gumming up the experience.
Turned out really nice, I like the chrome wheels with that color blue. To bad there aren't any drive end movie theaters anymore that would have been nice for you and your sweetheart to go to in that car.
Based on the quality of the content, I predict 100,000 subscribers by January or February of 2025, and 1.000.000 by early to mid 2027. Stay the path, Simon Fordman, and you will go far.
I really enjoy your videos Simon. I especially liked the 1956 Chevy one as I have had a few tri fives and my favorite was a '56 BelAir. I appreciate your workmanship and your attention to making sure the mechanics are taken care of before restoring the appearance. This '56 was pretty rough and at the end it was a pretty cool ride. Thank you for your attention to detail.
I discovered this channel by accident and boy am I glad I did. I found it yesterday and in 12 hours I have watched every video. I look forward to what is in store.
Your presentation, content and tenacity are commendable! Keep on doing things the way you’re doing them. That ‘56 turned out pretty nice. Too bad about the glass on the right side, that could be pricey to replace. Great job and Thank You for the ride!
36:17 oh no, all the starting fluid leaked out. I think there is a rebuild fit for that. 😂 I can appreciate all the effort and time these videos must take to make. For instance the 4 second clip from ground through engine bay to the trees. 🇦🇺🤙🏼
Excellent video! I grew up working on Tri-Five Chevys. You brought back a lot of memories. That paint job was probably an Earl Schieb special, "I'll paint any car any color for $99". I wanted to hug you when you didn't cut the top off of the radiator support (common back in the day) to make your job easier.
As a mater of fact, the radiator support was already cut off and re-welded when someone replaced that engine long before me, haha. I considered cutting it since it already had the scars.
I hope you are well compensated for your work. It is quite thorough! I remember the first time I used a power washer on an old car and a big chunk of paint blew off the trunk!
Well done Simon, a very diffrent video presintation than others. Love what you did with the 5, it came up nice. The "Out of order" lable on your other car's coloumn Shift made me laugh.
I like this channel Simon sez.. Nothing.. But he takes us all a on a journey that we each write our own narrative to. Genius... Thanks Simon.. Nice Work! Stay safe.
You delivered once again,this video is what I like. Get it done with what you've got. Keep em coming along,I share these videos with my pals all the time.
2 Hours that go by too fast !.. 🤗 The idea of subtitles in videos is excellent ! 😉 Nice refreshing work. Thanks for this video, waiting feverishly for the next one. 👍 Greetings from the south-east of France. JC
Your channel and Mustie1 are the two best channels on RUclips as far as I'm concerned. I love the camera shots and subject matter obviously and the lack of dialogue is refreshing as well. I hope you continue to gain viewers but just never change! Thanks.
I love what you're doing, man. Whether in France or the US, we work the same way. But man, to work, take off your watch! I like your style. David from France.
Vice grips in one hand and propane torch in the other is my motto and why do I have the insatiable craving to pressure wash everthing in sight ? 😊 Simon you must have had a good teacher, I don't believe you somehow magically aquired your skills. Love the channel.
Going for feature length this time Simon? As always it was a pleasure to watch. I look forward to the day RUclips pays you well enough to quit your day job and do this full time .
@@SimonFordman I know you spend a lot of time on your videography and editing, but you should consider putting out shorter videos more often. For instance this last feature length film could have easily been a 2 parter a few days apart. And maybe do some 15 or 20 minute vids. I’m sure regular viewers like me would appreciate content a bit more often.
The things this man does with just basic tools is amazing. I look forward to all the videos you man. You're not over the top like most of the other channels doing what you do. I hope you take off bit pleaseeee keep it the way you are doing this.
Your videos are very straightforward, informative, and enjoyable! I am a fan of yours from the very start,and i want to watch anything you have to offer! I like your style and knowhow! I wish you the best!
You my friend are a very articulated mechanic. Very determined to get things done, I call that, discipline at its very best. I do quite enjoy every minute of your video, is mostly more like a documentary I must say. Very well intended Sir. Keep up the good work.
Спасибо тебе Саймон, что делаешь такие вайбовые видео, очень приятно смотреть и знакомиться поближе с Американской классикой ❤ Молодец, еще раз спасибо 🙏 Ты молодец!! 🤝🥳
Hopefully those original paint matched wheels are saved or go somewhere to get fixed up. I guess I'm a square and love paint matched steel wheels. Modern wheels are so much better in every way but I love the look. Great restoration as always! These sedans are such a rarity. Everyone loves the coupes, but I don't think these are appreciated enough. Even in the condition you got it in, the car was still pretty. Thanks for cleaning this old 4-Door up!
I think I’ve figured it out - aside from your ambition, fearlessness to tackle difficult jobs, and undying commitment to breathing new life into cool old stuff (or at least their parts), your cinematography appeals to me as a Gen- Xer because of childhood hood films I remember like ‘The Red Balloon’. Well done.
Watching your videos has inspired me to buy a car and fix it up! Wait…have to get rid of my wife’s pool so I can get a garage first. Keep those videos coming!
Mr Simon . You sure are brave with some of those bolts and nuts and you have been very fortunate, 9:28 I haven’t seen but a few break. JB blaster or any good rust penetration product is definitely your friend.
Loved watching this video!! Just straight up mechanical work..........no unnecessary dialogue, no annoying music. That was a fast 2 hours.....lol. But it was worth every second. Good to see content worth watching.......even more so from a fellow Minnesotan. Wish i had half the knowledge you have.......I'd be able to do my own repairs on my '66 Newport. Well done!!

Youve found a winning formula . Perfect for us oldies . No backgroung music . Im watching from England . Love your old cars . Such style. Well done

Your a true craftsman, keeping these old cars going requires attention to detail.
The best mechanical therapy there is! Cheers from England🍺
I am amazed at the patience you have when removing the cut screws!!
It's refreshing to see a young man working on cars whose arms, hands, and fingers are not covered black-and-blue with tattoos.
A matter of opinion, I guess. Each to their own. My boy has a few tattoos and he is the kindest most considerate person.

You my friend are a very articulated mechanic. Very determined to get things done, I call that, discipline at its very best. I do quite enjoy every minute of your video, is mostly more like a documentary I must say. Very well intended Sir. Keep up the good work.
Спасибо тебе Саймон, что делаешь такие вайбовые видео, очень приятно смотреть и знакомиться поближе с Американской классикой ❤ Молодец, еще раз спасибо 🙏 Ты молодец!! 🤝🥳
Hopefully those original paint matched wheels are saved or go somewhere to get fixed up. I guess I'm a square and love paint matched steel wheels. Modern wheels are so much better in every way but I love the look.
Great restoration as always! These sedans are such a rarity. Everyone loves the coupes, but I don't think these are appreciated enough. Even in the condition you got it in, the car was still pretty.
Thanks for cleaning this old 4-Door up!
Yea I prefer the painted steelies too. Those chrome ones just came with the used engine, so they got tossed on for now.
@@SimonFordmanyou should leave them on makes the car look so much better
Simon Chevyman never disappoints 😎
Great eye for film and photography..
Brilliant Simon really enjoyed seeing this 56 get back on the road the chrome steelies and whitewalls are perfect.
thanks for watching
I think I’ve figured it out - aside from your ambition, fearlessness to tackle difficult jobs, and undying commitment to breathing new life into cool old stuff (or at least their parts), your cinematography appeals to me as a Gen- Xer because of childhood hood films I remember like ‘The Red Balloon’. Well done.
Love the editing and the sounds. No talking working on a car alone in desolate places. Very relaxing. Amazing work
in my country is very difficult find cars like that for restorin, thanks for sharing, the best Channel Ever!!!
Watching your videos has inspired me to buy a car and fix it up! Wait…have to get rid of my wife’s pool so I can get a garage first. Keep those videos coming!
Mr Simon . You sure are brave with some of those bolts and nuts and you have been very fortunate, 9:28 I haven’t seen but a few break. JB blaster or any good rust penetration product is definitely your friend.
I think it's awesome what you did for this 56 Chevy, kept it as original as possible and those wheels and tire combination are awesome
Words cannot express how I enjoy watching your work and skill plus your simple but sure ways of accomplishing your goals. Take care and best of luck.
I watch your videos from a town in the south of Chile 🇨🇱 I congratulate you on your work👌🏻
Loved watching this video!! Just straight up mechanical work..........no unnecessary dialogue, no annoying music. That was a fast 2 hours.....lol. But it was worth every second. Good to see content worth watching.......even more so from a fellow Minnesotan. Wish i had half the knowledge you have.......I'd be able to do my own repairs on my '66 Newport. Well done!!
