1964 Ford Falcon Restoration, Part 1: Interior and Engine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Welcome everyone to the first part of our 1964 Falcon 'restore.' This will be a long process but were both very excited to even get started!
The family has all agree'd the car looks cool in its natural "patina" so even once driving, it wont look too much different. We will probably try to get the 260/289 whatever it is running and then fix rust and clear coat it. Sometime down the road it may get a cheap cherry red paint job. This car is going to be a driver and we dont want a car we have to constantly worry about!

Great memories being made. My Dad and I did a rebuilt my first engine in a 64 Falcon it was 1974 and I was 14 years old. It wasn't a V8. 170 six cylinder three on the tree manual choke. It was in much better shape that your project. We spent the next 2 years fixing it up and it was my very first car. Enjoy your time with your Dad.
My Dad was an excellent mechanic. He grew up on a farm and was a jack of all trades. The Army trained him as a machinist and that is what he did for most of his life. Unfortunately he was also a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. He had no patience for us kids. He just couldn't tolerate us and Mom divorced him a couple of times partly because of that. There was a time, a very short period when he was more of less sane. At that time he was working at a Volkswagen dealership as a mechanic. I remember a blissful day or two "helping" him overhaul an engine. He was patient and took the time to teach. I was in heaven. I would have grabbed that knowledge and ran with it if I could have. As luck would have it, it didn't last.
This kid has no idea how lucky he is. I don't know what happens when the camera is off but I bet it's the same. Son, LEARN from your Daddy. He is a treasure.
I had two of them very good cars one restored that was all new from top down they have nice body lines would like to see as you go but it will be a long road looking for your next vid.
“We don’t need dancing” hahaha love it
I am also working on a 63 falcon. near the end of your video 35.12 was a shot of the wiring going back into the fire wall. This was very helpful to me. I have been working on it now just over a year. Putting windshield in soon. i found my wires mixed in with my chevy wires on old pu. Keep up the good work! I have not been able to get to much help from my son. I have a picture of him and the car. He is at the steering wheel and about 4 years old. He is 40 now. I decided if it was to happen I should get with the project, work on it most days.
I’m glad to hear it was helpful! I hope you get your project on the road soon and your son has a change of heart! Even if it’s a little late 😋
are you still working on it?
I still have it but have yet to make any headway. The next step is floorpan replacement and that’ll happen winter 2024.
@@WompFilterProductions cant wait to see, i just got a 1963 and gonna start working on it soon
It is nice to see you upload after 3 years .
Thanks I really appreciate that. Editing videos is so time consuming it’s hard to know if it’s worth it. Now we know 🤘🏽 there is currently 4 more parts like this one pending release
@@WompFilterProductions Thanks for sharing. I was a subscriber when you still had that cobra.
Nicecardude100 funny I remember seeing your name. You should follow me on IG. I post a lot more there
@@WompFilterProductions Im not on there but i always consider, ive just been a youtube fan boy since 06
@@WompFilterProductions I hope too see them
What a great project for you and your son. :) Best of luck!
good job! Both of you did a great work on that ford falcon.
Nice my grandpa and I are doing a 64 falcon standard 4 door
Im trying to do a 63 falcon convertible
I think the challenge here would be to sell whats in the trunk, to offset the cost of the vehicle. Even if it's 2 or 3 hundred bucks, what fun getting the car for free. I think I would do a Gasser, everybody loves Hot Rods, and would be cheaper to build.
Selling the old stuff is a good idea! I like my cars to handle a little in the corners but it sure would look good as a gasser! Thanks for the comments 🤙🏽
Nice project,my brother has a 1965 Falcon,it has a 4 speed and it has a 289 in it,nice car
Great project; If you're into cars, which I am not. Good luck!
Great purchase... 1st car was a 1960 falcon.
Love the little flash of the finished car at 36:37
I’m impressed! No one to this point has noticed it 😂 kudos to you sir!
I have late 64 Comet Caliente , stock 289 .T 10 four speed.
Muy bueno compartir proyecto con el chiko saludos desde puerto rico
nice job we'll have our 65 done soon
Factory paint is Guardsman Blue...unusual with a red rather than blue interior. Wheelcovers are from a 1957 Ford Fairlane.
I inherited my Dad’s fully restored 65 Falcon sprint. It runs but there seems to be a short somewhere. I am looking for help troubleshooting it.
They used to butcher a hole on the shock towers to get grease into the squeaky upper control arms. You had to unscrew the plug and put a grease fitting in. The whole front suspension on Falcon/Mustang was not that great.
The constant shifting, circular movement and movement over all with the camera... cute at first but I honestly was getting motion sickness after a while... hope the next one is a little less... erratic? Not kidding about the motion sickness thing. Anyway, cool project.
Alright, I'm in. I love a good family project.
Ha! Welcome aboard 🤘🏽
@@WompFilterProductions sometimes these rebuild series blow up pretty quick. If Ian LaRue is your real name I'd change the channel name to something else. Otherwise you might end up with people sending stuff to your house as a prank.
HighFlyer that might be fun! Haha
@@WompFilterProductions qIreally love that you are doing this 64 Falcon. The part I don't like is you calling the FORD A MATIC a power glide, and the Magnum 500 wheels are no way a really wheel. Must be the generic motors mentality. Other wise great project car.
Radial TAs..not bias ply bud.
Wow good catch lol I just assumed based on their age they were bias ply but it says it clear as day right there on the tire!
the 2 first hubcaps are off a 57 ford car
Good eye, thank you!!
Car looks very solid. How hard is it to get new parts.
It’s a little harder than a 60’s mustang but possible!
What is the size and offset of the wheels?
What part of Washington are you in?I'm in the southeast corner in Clarkston.
Up near Seattle. Unfortunately opposite ends from you
Why didn’t you take out the back seat and get all the carpet out
It's a crying shame the cars get into this state in the first place! Just sad
...nice white honda...S65?
Hanta Virus. LOL
Did I see a chicken bone?
Les mando un grato saludo desde Montevideo Uruguay soy propietario de un ford falcon igual 1964 y estoy restaurandolo.
