Excellent video. No inappropriate, loud music. No "these are the tools & safety equipment you will need". Professional camera work. No yammering about this & that, including life story. Small wonder you have such a large following. God bless you, sir, from a fellow Petrol head!
I am 65 years old and have worked on cars many of my years. I am grateful that I can now afford to buy new or pay others to make my repairs. But when I was this kid's age I had to do for myself and often I didn't know what l was doing. There is something so satisfying about watching this resourceful person determined to problem solve through. I would have power washed the radiator while I had it out. I never would have dreamed that I would watch this kind of thing, but l do and enjoy the crap out of it.
Finally an ASMR channel for guys who likes cars, old trucks, junk, tools and NEURONS...(very good direction, edition, photography and camera angles btw...)
I just want to let you know how much I look forward to every one of your videos. Just the way you do them and I'm a car guy so I absolutely love them from beginning to end. Keep up the great work!
Very satisfying. The hour goes by so quickly. I watch and pause to look on Rock Auto to see the parts available for whatever you're working on. Like me, you fix things like you'll be the "next guy."
First car was a ‘62 Fairlane with a 170 and three-on-a-tree. Identical. Made all of these same repairs. Found out Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. This video makes me somewhat nostalgic; would consider a falcon if it were a two-door or Ranchero.
Always a pleasure to watch you. I would probably get the projects from the hundredth to the thousandth and would have painted the entire trunk straight away.
Love the format, no music, no talk and love your approach, fix it , don't fire the parts cannon at it. New subscriber here, hope your channel takes off 👍
Just great to watch. Your energy and skillset are impressive, contagious too. Since watching your videos, with amazing camera work too, I've been doing some spannering on my old Wolseley! First time in a while!! Thanks buddy.
I have falcon 61 2 doors Im from Guadalajara Mexico, was my father car for 40 years , thanks for sp much detail I can fix mi falcon, you have done great job so far , Saludos amigo
To prevent the wire to spot in the contact tip don't over tight the roller, blow the liner with compress air before install a new spool and use some nozzle dip!😉
Another masterpiece from our Simon Fordman. Are you planning on some body work for the Falcon or is it good to go? Whatever you decide I know we all can't wait for the next iteration of your saga.
Another great video, nice to see spring has finally shown up, just like here in the UK. 🇬🇧 I'm driving my pickup tomorrow to a small place just outside Exeter, Devon, to pick up a replacement engine (FE 390), to replace my tired FE 360 in my '71 F250.
Exactly the way I do things minus all the swearing. Very satisfying watching you work on old iron. My little brother had a Falcon just like this one with an inline six. Good stuff.
Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I'm sure you'd have a great voiceover voice but I really appreciate the ambient working sounds without any accompaniment. Really makes me feel like I'm watching and learning from a man of few words, oddly also very calming, despite how much hard work you're doing. found your One Last Drive video and now I'm hooked as a subscriber. Wish you all the best, peace be with you. ps at 13:51 that little exhaust hanger looked absolutely stunned!
I see you have a cat that likes to”Cat Butt”. We do to he comes up and pokes you and talks to you and the presents the cat butt for a slapping. He loves it. Wonderful video how you set them up. Will be watching
I thought OMG, he bought a new muffler ! Just joking, Yeah I liked the making of the exhaust pipe. I have used coat hangers for tail pipe hangers. You can't get good metal coat hangers anymore. Fixing up the welder was good stuff! Kudos on showing having to take the fan off because of the alternator bracket. I do stuff like that all the time. Water pump looked good! You could have put Ford Taurus dual electric fans on there and gave the little Falcon an extra 20 horse power! wink wink. Great Cat also ! I wish I had your skill, Best regards, chuck
I enjoy watching your channel! It’s great when in the age of everything digital and artificial they film such real things. The absence of music and comments gives space for thoughts. I like the speed of what is happening and the camera setup. Very beautiful shots of America nature make the video more vivid, especially if you have never been to this country. Interesting old cars and other devices. It’s cool that after fixing the car you can drive it (sometimes I watch the flexiny channel, but they only revive the car and take it for a short test drive, and then it’s not clear what they do with it). Good luck! I'm looking forward to new content) Thank you very much!
@@SimonFordman Excellent. That means more content! Hopefully not just for content's sake, but to share the journey of keeping old cars on the road. You're doing fantastic, your channel is growing at an exceptional rate. Well deserved.
Hola estoy en Guadalajara Jalisco México los sigo desde hace mucho tiempo, mi admiración y respeto son una pareja muy padre, ya me muero de ansias de ver el 🚒 terminado.
A solutly interesting, entertaining and educational. Had one like this in the late ‘60s. Other than me punching it all the time and overheating, it was a great car! Thanks for the great videos. I’m gonna go watch some more of yours!
The Fords back then used what they called a doughnut gasket between the exhaust manifold and the down pipe that is why they have the long studs on the exhaust manifold, it takes up a little space.
Hello channel from Turkey I just discovered station wagon I love American cars can you make a 1 hour long road trip style video with one of them I hope people like it may God bless you
Thanks for the great content, especially for not playing annoying music. I wonder if the Falcon doesn't have a thermostat or if you just put it there deliberately? Thanks again.
Love your videos. Just wanted to say though that I dont know how much you like your camera, but the sensor probably isnt too happy about the welding arc.
Good to see someone using the worlds most hated of all substances, anti-seize! At the refinery I worked at it was ok to kick someone’s dog, talk bad about someone’s family but if you didn’t use anti- seize you were treated as an outcast 😂
I wonder if Gopher Motors out of the cities, still remanufactures engines? I got a new 235 six for a 55 Chevy pickup from them about 43 years ago! It was fairly reasonable and was a good rebuild.
Oh man, just don't ever change the format of your videos, so perfect. I so want to buy myself a welding plant now. By the way, did what did you use on the threads of the three water pump bolts? Silicone sealant? Curious because those come in contact with water, so I am interested to know. Also, what spray do you use to scrub and clean the seats and the dashboard?
Excellent video. No inappropriate, loud music. No "these are the tools & safety equipment you will need". Professional camera work. No yammering about this & that, including life story. Small wonder you have such a large following. God bless you, sir, from a fellow Petrol head!
The camera work alone is incredible, let alone the mechanical work etc - your channel should explode if the RUclips algorithm works. Nice work mate 😍😍

OMFG, a 1960 Ford Falcon XK. I love these so much. Childhood memories.
I just want to let you know how much I look forward to every one of your videos. Just the way you do them and I'm a car guy so I absolutely love them from beginning to end. Keep up the great work!
Hello with Ukraine 😊
Great job, Comrade. I am very impressed with your professionalism, precision of work and high-class workmanship of this old Ford.
One of the best channels and formats on RUclips. Great video.
Very nice. I like how you do the repairs, but preserve the grime!
Very satisfying. The hour goes by so quickly. I watch and pause to look on Rock Auto to see the parts available for whatever you're working on. Like me, you fix things like you'll be the "next guy."
I really enjoy your show you do great work and don't talk us to death you get right in there and do what has to be done

I did alot of the same things back in 1975. My 1st car was a Ford Fairlane 500 with a 289v8. It was very rusty, but the motor was great!
Always a pleasure to watch you.
I would probably get the projects from the hundredth to the thousandth and would have painted the entire trunk straight away.

You are a gifted talent, I am fascinated by your videos. Better than watching you now what!
I love watching your videos...I learn from every detail...and I love the Ford Falcon. I send you a big hug from Argentina.
I love every video this guy does,People can learn from him,this is I,m guessing my 4th video and hope for more
Thermostat and flush radiator, and get a line wrench for brake lines! 👍
Just great to watch. Your energy and skillset are impressive, contagious too. Since watching your videos, with amazing camera work too, I've been doing some spannering on my old Wolseley! First time in a while!! Thanks buddy.
Thanks for the support!
@@SimonFordman I thoroughly enjoy.
Love those Videos from SimonFordman. It is for (old) car AND movie fans. Nice camera and nice film noir-atmosphere. Just noises, no music: Great!

Amazing craftsmanship Simon and great editing, love the cat 🙀

The Truck is not only a hauler, but used a welding table. Amazing!
Dude, that Falcon will be flying high when you're done with it.
Very good job , congratulações !!! God bless you Brasil
31:07 I love the sound of those brake fluid fireballs
Such a noble and reliable car. Here in Argentina they where produced till mid 90s with stethic changes mostly.
I wish my heater core was THAT easy to access... had to take out the entire dash!
My cat also like de pads. Good video, regards from Spain!
I see you have a cat that likes to”Cat Butt”. We do to he comes up and pokes you and talks to you and the presents the cat butt for a slapping. He loves it. Wonderful video how you set them up. Will be watching
Interesting to see a video work without jibber jabba! Great work and good camera shots! Everything clear and concise 👍👍👍

My 1st car was an early 1970s RX2 (Mazda), with the rotary engine.
These were known as the XL Ford Falcon. They were the second Ford Falcon model here, the for being the XK. Such a simple car.
It's obvious that you love your work. It looks very aesthetic
I believe I'm growing fond of the Falcon.
The face on that muffler hanger was great!!!😂 u should save that for future humor.
It looked like Wilson
Nice job. Support ist kein Mord. Grüße aus dem Saarland.
An Update on the entire fleet would be nice ;)
Well, the F250 won’t start, again. So there’s that.
@@SimonFordman Excellent. That means more content! Hopefully not just for content's sake, but to share the journey of keeping old cars on the road.

Great looking cars these early Falcons
Приятно смотреть когда такие старые машины получают новые запчасти.
Great work Simon.... I look forward to every video you make. THANK YOU!!!!!
Very nice work and properly done on a car that was able to be repaired not like the plastic cars they have today
Got the Falcon ready to roll, a little attention with that little car went a long ways!
Wondertul ! Wow, those trunks ARE bigger than they look !
Such a great video. Thank you.
That spare tire looks like an old original BFG Silvertown Cross Ply!
Wake up babe, new Simon Fordman dropped.
I’m telling you, after seeing his vids, all other car vids pale in comparison. I find them boring. Keep up the great work

Absolutely fantastic!!! Keep up the awesome work.
Another amazing video! Thanks!
No talking is awesome
Thank you.
Exceptional
I've been enjoying your videos very much, I find them relaxing and inspiring. So I've subbed :)
Keep up the good work!
The Fords back then used what they called a doughnut gasket between the exhaust manifold and the down pipe that is why they have the long studs on the exhaust manifold, it takes up a little space.
I’m a 75 year old veteran and ex- mechanic, I’d love to have you here in south central Pennsylvania working on my stuff!
Tres bon travail . Elle est magnifique avec sa patine . Ne surtout pas la repeindre !
Refreshing, very slick.
The best part was when the dear was checking out the falcon.
Я рад , что наткнулся на этот канал . Здесь - терапия. Красвчик !
Clever man, Great channel.👍
When tshtf we build our perimeter around this guy.
Thanks Simon. Been waiting for a new vid.
Cars that were built to be repaired not just discarded like todays junk.
Hello channel from Turkey I just discovered station wagon I love American cars can you make a 1 hour long road trip style video with one of them I hope people like it may God bless you
Hello from Ukraine. Good job!
Thanks for the great content, especially for not playing annoying music. I wonder if the Falcon doesn't have a thermostat or if you just put it there deliberately? Thanks again.
Your videos make me want to go out and fix little things that i normally push off or are not fun to fix.
Keep the video’s coming 🔥
O verdadeiro mecânico raiz.
@ 23:29 - it looked like a surprised old guy

I wonder if a hitch mounted vise would suit your style, you'd certainly get use out of one.
100%, I’ve been meaning to install one
Awesome job, now this is how to make how to video😊
Love me falcons, I have a 99 au ute and a 97 fairlane Ghia
Грунт для сварки надолго защитит швы на выхлопной трубе.
As usual a great video.
Good Work!
hello, very good job😊, i love the cats
Почему у Саймона все тачки с номерами Миннесоты?
I wonder if Gopher Motors out of the cities, still remanufactures engines? I got a new 235 six for a 55 Chevy pickup from them about 43 years ago! It was fairly reasonable and was a good rebuild.
Oh man, just don't ever change the format of your videos, so perfect. I so want to buy myself a welding plant now. By the way, did what did you use on the threads of the three water pump bolts? Silicone sealant? Curious because those come in contact with water, so I am interested to know. Also, what spray do you use to scrub and clean the seats and the dashboard?
Thank you. I think I used just RTV on those bolts. I've been using sprayway glass cleaner on interior stuff.
@@SimonFordman thank you 👍
Dont forget to use the closed captions!
Great video lots of info :)
muy buen canal, ya me suscribí .. saludos desde Argentina Buenos Aires !
Old ford falcon my neighbor had in good condition when we were on the east side of Detroit Michigan that' was many many moons ago
