Love them old Fords! My dad had a 65 Fairlane Station Wagon, it was a blueish green color. It had a black interior and was hot as you can imagine in the Florida summertime. I spent some quality childhood time playing in the backseat and the cargo area. The best was playing spaceship in the front seat while my parents were shopping. My dad always knew I was playing with all the switches when he started the car and the wipers and stuff would come on.
I use to play B17 tailgunner in ours! Great memories!
Love this! Hood most mobile part… mine proves that point. Thanks.
Thank you Jeff! I Plan on adjusting My 1968 Ranchero Hood This Weekend! This really helps me out. Thank you for what you do.
My pleasure. We'll be doing fenders and doors next.
Taking time and doing this step makes a huge difference once it’s painted. Good tips for sure!
Thanks Big D!
Perfect explanation on how to adjust a hood the proper way, thanks...
Paul, gift is awaiting installation. Was going to make a cape and become AutoMan but wife said the cape made my butt look big...so on a wall it goes!
Great stuff Jeff, especially the judicious use of the wood block for tweaking. It amazing how a little well-applied force and some patience pays off.
And BTW - the garage could use some holiday decorations too ;)
Right on! Accept the missus has used them all on the house...
Tried to adjust the hood on my LTD a few times now, got it within an inch off in the back. Maybe it's time to try again, thanks for the video!
I gotta get one of those fairlanes! Those are nice!
Thanks for the video.
Glad to do it.
Alright 👍
Thanks alot ! did not know about the cowl :D
That cowl make it kinda a pita. But it can be done!
Yeah I have self holding/struts hood
I noticed it was moving around not the strut but the hinge locking the hood to the car and notice bolts there.
I assume these will adjust the hood it's a ridiculous gap on the driver side I didn't add pressure as I seen the same exact thing on the exact same car got 2 so yeah it's driver side lifted up and the pass side sits plush it just recently started doing this I hate closing those damn strut hoods as cool as they look and convenient.
Good stuff! The hood on my 63 Meteor sits a bit high in the back. Hope this applies to that car!
Yep. Works on any Ford or Merc with this style hood hinge.
Thank you Jeff
You are welcome!
The video I'd like to see is what all it takes to swap a 250 six cylinder out for a 302 in a 68/69 Fairlane Ranchero with a column shift C4. I know I need motor mounts and I believe alternator and power steering pump brackets, possibly power steering pump, throttle cable, radiator, radiator hoses, possibly shift linkage, new exhaust system and??????
Lol. We probably won't go there. But email me and we can work it out. Jford@autorestomod.com
I thought you were gonna just leave the back side of the hood up, so it’ll let all the heat out of the engine bay!!!🤘🏻🤪
Well, it does LOOK cool. 👍
A block of wood, and a careful push can do wonders.
Yup!
Ford only buddy 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
That is what Manic Mechanic is all about!
@@AutoRestoMod keep it going doing an awesome job thank you for your help 👍🍻
More videos on that 1963.5 Galaxie!
We got you fam! We're waiting for better weather and gathering parts.
So, what do you do when the back of the hood sets high, but your hinges are down as far as they can go? I was told to raise the front of the hinges, and keep the back of the hinges down. That will lower the hood. Your opinion?
Probably. It will somewhat depend on damage to the hood, inner fenders etc. But all things even that should work.
Could you show how to change axle shafts and how to measure? Since I want to change the 28 axles in my ford 9 inch to 31 spline.
Most places like Summit or Speedway carry axles in stock dimensions.
I have a 66 falcon with a bench seat. The problem I having is I can’t get the bolts out. What can I do to get them out. Thanks Lester
PB Blast or another type of rust penetrant and several days of spraying then work them off.
how did the us shift trans controller work out? I rebuilt a 4r70w using transmission bench you tube videos and was looking at this controller. just curious of how it worked out?
Don't know yet, we'll do an episode on drivability soon. Just now getting it all buttoned up.
My hood on my 68 fairlane isn't that bad but it still bugs me where it sticks up to high in the back like this car
We can fix it.
@@AutoRestoMod hey question? What is the rear quarter panel made of on the fairlane fastbacks Is it sheet metal or fiberglass?
Hood aliment on 49 ford
Oh by the way,,,,,,,,,, while we’re here
Every. Single. Week...
I want to see some GM stuff! Hahaha.
Me too!!!! That's how you fix a ford! Buy a Chevrolet. 😂
Not here, over at Autorestomod we're going to get going on the Camaro after the first of the year.
Love watching no mater the vehicle!
That just lets the air vent from under the hood
Lol. Yes...not a preferred outcome if you are running the factory vents.
WORST JOB EVER! I hate panel alignment. But guess what you're doing when I come to visit... lol
I'm waiting on the porch with a 12 pack of Molsons and some Canadian bacon eh?
