    Totally impressed by your skill set for your age. I know that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. You have an old soul buried in that body. Thanks for making it personal, as well, with your girlfriend...she's a keeper if she can put up with a gearhead for a boyfriend. My wish for you is that someday your channel will be as big as Scotty Kilmer's. He's a good mechanic, but a sensationalist, trying everything to grab viewer attention. You, Omar, are down to earth...keep it it bro...Paul

      Wow thanks for the comment Paul!

    Hello, greetings from Argentina, we are fans of the Falcon, more than half a million of these cars were sold here. I would love to upload this video to my channel and translate it into Spanish, I thought it was very good. A hug!

    So 😎 cool Omar!
    The little Falcon looks so out of place cruising around all the big, newer cars and trucks, but very neat. There isn't a better feeling of accomplishment, until you get to drive what you've been working on for so long. I'm really happy for you bro.
    Another great show Omar, thanks so much for sharing.
    Oh, and your test pilot sure is cute. Congratulations to the both of you.

    Another great video, Omar. I spent many happy hours in my youth playing in my dad's nonrunning 4 door Falcon - same exact color. Great editing work. I always enjoy your videos. Seeing how happy your girlfriend was driving her car has motivated me to head outside to my cold garage and get busy on my daughter's car!

    • @OmarRamirezGalaxie
      @OmarRamirezGalaxie  2 года назад +1

      Wow that’s cool that you had a falcon, is it the same one you’re working on now?

    Boy watching the car drive away into the sunset brought back some memories. I had a black '62 with a red interior. Great little cars, not fast at all with a 144 engine though, swapping the 200 in from a later Ford was a real good idea. Great video, thanks for posting it.

    Nothing like getting a car moving again! It's a great feeling. That 6 is probably going to be indestructible, too, if treated right. One of the best cars/trucks I've ever owned was a F150 with the 300 six without much smog crap. I could park it for 2 months and barely touch the key and it would start up immediately. Bulletproof too. Assume that engine (170??) is the same family.

    • @OmarRamirezGalaxie
      @OmarRamirezGalaxie  2 года назад +1

      Haha yes, this is the first one I’ve worked on and I can’t believe how simple it is. An in-line six in a pickup sounds really cool, just like you said it’s practically indestructible. The new one is a 200 the old one was a 144!

    '63 4 door with a bad automatic transmission. All my friends tell me never to buy it, but something keeps me from giving up. If I decide to purchase, please teach me various things about your knowledge.
