Him and his friends swapped out the motor on the weekend. I was mad because I could not see over the fender! Thus started me on my journey with cars.

    My dad was selling Fords in Willmar in 1962 and he had that exact same car in Chestnut Brown for one summer as his "Demonstrator". We drove it to Canada for our only full family vacation, pulling a travel trailer (Shasta - don't know how all 9 of us fit into that, maybe we also brought a tent). I think it was legal in Canada back then to have passengers in a trailer, and I recall riding for a bit. I got a little carsick. We went to Thunder Bay, but back then it was called Fort William & Port Arthur. Later we moved to California and he bought a 63 in red with a 352 I & then traded that for a 65 with a 390 in turquoise, both were 4 door hardtops I think. The center of those 62 tail lights always looked like communion cups to me. Thanks for this video

      @@ThunderballKaboom that’s because the dash is out of a 1963 model. I don’t know if anybody caught that. I owned a 62 Galaxie with factory 406 four-speed and 32 barrel carbs on it and I know a 62 quite well bumper-to-bumper and I also know the dashboard. Somebody put a lot of work into that car fitting the 63 dashboard in it long before it was parked I must admit I am impressed at the installation and the actually fit. I always like this 1963 and 1964 dashboards better than the 1962.

There is no "daily driver" they are the everyday cars. I have alot of fun doing exactly as you are. Very fun and entertaining to watch. Thankyou sir. Latest projects are a 57 Plymouth.

    Awesome. Beautiful old cars. Brilliant videography and editing, I was hooked and watched the entire video start to finish. I was a mechanic here in Australia in the late 1960’s early 70’s and every now and again a big American car would turn up at the workshop. The 1956 Chev’s were quite popular here but we got the 6 cylinder motor, can’t recall if any had a V8. Just watching you pull that Holley apart brought back memories. I would love to find an old Galaxie or something similar and restore it in my home workshop.

    Damn, this video was a wild ride.
    Having this few complications on a revival, all solved with somewhat easy fixes.
    The brakes taking fluid and giving preassure first try, the innards of the gastank being in ok condition and not clogging the carburator, the backfire that turned into flames, and last but not least my favourite: the compression-tester needing a couple of taps to work correctly, saving you alot of hassle.
    You hade me guessing at every turn thinking this car was gonna need ALOT more work.

    If you’re still running the gas that was in the tank, you might be bending pushrods because of that. I know it’s a newer gas tank, but modern gas sucks, and if it’s been in there a while it likes to get sticky. I’ve seen it happen on two other car RUclips channels where the car keeps bending pushrods and it turned out to be that weirdly sticky gas. It coats and binds up the valves, valve can’t open, pushrod gets bent.
    Best of luck, your videos are incredible!

      Adding new gas can reactivate the old sticky gas, it turns into a dust that gets rehydrated after adding gas

    • @greencadillacmatt
      @greencadillacmatt Месяц назад

      ^Exactly what I was going to say. I know he ran it dry, but if there was any nastiness in the bottom of the tank then it went through the engine. The tank walls could be coated in it and the fresh gas acts as a carrier for the gunk it washes off.
      The lifter didn’t seem to be the issue, so that’s the only theory I’ve got. :P
