- it has been a long time coming but work resumes on the 1965 ford econoline pickup that has been a backdrop in my shop, lets make some handmade repair panels from scratch then weld them in.

“You’d think that I know what I’m doing, but I don’t”. Good one.
When it all works out, my dad used to say, “it almost looks like we knew what we were doing”.
I say that all the time. I'll be working on something and my wife will ask how it's going and I say "I dunno what I'm doing". She always says "Don't say that; it makes me worry, and also I know that you do know what you're doing". LOL. I usually say, "nah, I'm making this up as I go."

The fact that 99% of this work has been eyeballed, rather than measured, is a testament to Mustie’s genius.
and his eyeballs, or "eyecrometer" as they say at FabRats
Finally !!!!
You have been teasing us for waaaay too long, flashing this Econoline in the background for other projects.
Thank Mustie.
I'm very happy to see this project back on Mustie's channel. I found the original series on this truck, where he basically learned how to bend and form fit metal, extremely interesting. While I like his 'will it run?' vids, watching him fabricate things from scratch is a treat. He's certainly a real renaissance man.
Many of us did as well. Mustie would tease us by showing it in the background of other projects.
@@kenshores9900I was hoping he’d get back to the Econoline. I’m happy it’s back in the stove.
@@belyear amazing how he makes the replacement panels.
They were a sweet vehicle
Can't wait to see you drive it around
To be honest I'm a little jealous
Have a good day day
I really enjoyed this video, brought back memories of many years ago when I was still in the auto body repair trade with the old men who knew how to work with sheet metal,
The mark of a true craftsman; any tool within reach becomes a hammer.
The irony is not lost on me that my dad used to have me sit on the engine hump in the middle of this very same van. He was a TV repairman. You remember those? No seatbelts, no nothing. I just remember the immense warmth of sitting on that engine cowling. 😊
No seat belts, no nothing *and* drum brakes on all four corners. It WAS a different time when people weren't racing to each stoplight and slamming on the brakes at the last second--it's because they couldn't do that for long without severe brake fade.
Yes! It was SO hot in the summer, even with those Air Doors open.
Rode in the 64 Chevrolet back seat on the hump also. (Seat belts)??? At a young age did not realize there was a drive shaft underneath.
That was my wife's seat when we drove my '67 Econoline around NYC for 2 years and then cross-country for 3 months camping back in '86 & '87. 3 on the tree and 33 MPH in 2nd gear on those mountain roads out west. I passed the semis, but everyone else passed me. I drove that van cross-country twice, and believe it or not it was a very comfortable vehicle to ride in. It also had the BEST visibility due to the large, flat, non-tinted windshield.
I belong to a group that I interact with daily, and I constantly have to bite my tongue when someone complains about a trivial issue. A few days ago, someone’s front camera had condensation due to the weather, so it was giving an error. They went on and on about it being a safety issue. I, on the other hand, was wondering what would happen if I set them loose in my ’84 GMC S15 fleet package truck. People would probably be better drivers if they had a real fear of death during their daily commute.
So glad to see this project getting some attention again. Nice job of the fabrication, time consuming, but very satisfying when you do it yourself.
It's no exaggeration to say this is as close as we'll ever get to watching Michelangelo performing his magic. Bravo, Darren.
Drain holes and paint /rustproofing inside, or will you do that later?
Thanks for reminding us why you put this project on hold. Body work requires the patience of a saint.
Hey Mustie, when "this side" is wrong so you make the other side match, not only will nobody know... but then it's called "CUSTOM"! LOL
The Bob Ross of sheet metal.
Indeed
Happy little custodents
Im so glad we are finally getting finished up with this truck. I have fell in love with this thing since he picked it up. It always looked so sad in the background of some of the past video’s. Thx Mustie.
You and everyone else, whining about this project. I'm sure you will find something else to whine about. 😆
@@Hjerte_VerkeIt seems that you might enjoy complaining as well.
I love this Ford truck. Thank you for working on it again. 👍
Its like watching a artist at work 😊😊😊😊
Thank you for another great video. My Sunday night entertainment.
Thank you for getting back to this project. A time capsule of when auto/truck design was still fun.
But dangerous.....having driven a 1961. Eco from 1973. To. 77 even a minor accident wood Beverly bad. Had a few but lucked out
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u I had a '66 A-100 Dodge van w/225 ci. 3 on the tree/ mid engine. non synchronized 1st gear, very interesting take off in second gear from a light that turns green just as you're getting slow enough to downshift into 1st. Got tagged in the back many times because there were no brake lights on.
It's time we saw something new from this project. Good morning from Germany
The wait was worthwhile, great to see the panel work done. Have a great week.
Yea! Finally!!! Nice to come back to this project. Keep coming back to the rest of your projects. Fun!
Been a long time, but it's nice to see the tangerine dream getting some love!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I like the long video's I have no idea why people would complain. There is a pause. Thanks for keeping me entertained
Good afternoon from Liverpool. Here we go with Mustie.🔧👍🇬🇧
Also from Sheffield , over the hill from You.
My condolences to both of you.
@@andrewmeadows2596 LOL
Hey Scouse Lad. From Sale. Mancunium. Love Liverpool.
Wrenching is a.... Division Bell

Yay...push "pause", put the kettle on and get the Pie out of the fridge:
Musti1 Sunday Movie is on!
Thanks from this German Viewer!🤩👍👍👍
Thanks for another good one Mr. Mustie! Glad to see some more work on the ol' Ford!
Nice old truck , I 'd enjoy one like that thanks for taking me along .
For someone that doesn't know what they are doing, you certainly did an amazing job, made it look easy.
Best part of Sunday is a new mustie video 😊
This makes for a great start to every Sunday morning, thank you!.
Yeah good ol mustie vid are great should do a few tic toks during week
I love your commitment to just not saying good enough. The fact that you keep striving to make it right is impressive.
Really happy to see this type of content again!!!!
I absolutely loved this video and the one with the same panel on the other side. I'll have to go back and check for the other things you've done to this one. You're my Sunday "Ride or die"!
Glad you jumped back on the ford! My grandfather had one set up as a catering truck in the early 70's and I would go with him as a kid on Saturdays to feed the workers at the rail yard. This was in Rhode Island where I grew up and this ford brings back a lot of memories of my grandfather. Now I watch from central Maine. We're kinda neighbors! 🤙
So glad to see you back on this truck. I love this vehicle. It is a real collectors item. Not many of them made and very few survived.
Man, you have some really great tools to work with metal. I did a lot of panel building but did not have all those tools. It sure would have made the job easier and the end product better.
Thanks for getting back on that Econoline. I keep seeing it sitting there waiting for it's turn.
Nicely done glad to see you back to this project!!!
It’s good that you’re fixing this little beauty.
That truck is unbelievably cool. Great work Mustie1.
Good to see the ol' Ford back on the proverbial bench. :)
clever only come to mind ...watching you create this panel...could not stop watching
Nice to see finally getting some truck action 🎬 🙌 👌 😊
Glad to finally see this truck being worked on again 🙂
Great to see this project back front and centre. 😊
So glad you are working on this thing again!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see this old girl getting finished up finally!
You first started repair on this truck 3 and 4 years ago. Glad to see you back at it. Love watching your old school style and precision work. Too cool for old school! February 25, 2024
As always sir it is a pleasure to watch you work. Even when you make it up as you go and make minor mistakes it is a damn sight better than anything I could do in this field.
Yay! Sunday morning tea with Mustie1 and the orange truck finally getting worked on again!
Great to see you back on this project. 👍🏻👌🏻
Awesome. Glad to see you're back on it. All the welding and metal work takes me back to the Crusty days!
Minutes before the video dropped I was just thinking, man I hope the Econoline gets some attention. Woot!
Good afternoon to everyone watching from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
Watching from West Yorkshire
Cold NYC
Sunny scunny
Happy to see this project come back good job coming along nicely
I've waited for a long time to see this truck again. Thanks
100% so happy to see work being done, on this truck. Week in / week out we see it in the background on most videos.. Its just sooooo cool looking
Haven't seen this truck in a while. Good work.
The ole Tallahassee tack n bash technique. Scott from ColdWarMotors and Kyle from CarterAutoRestyling would be proud as punch. cheers.
This was my first car back in High School, 1975. Same color and trim. Restored it twice, first fiberglass and Bondo, second time learned to weld. Reliving that rebuild here with Musty except being fresh out of college could not afford welding rod so used barbed wire from our pasture fence. Also replaced the engine and transmission. Drove it until 1985, over 100K miles then sold it for X3 what I paid for it in 74. Lot of fun with that old truck.
you definitely don't suck. Darren. Really great work, and excellent video!!
Now this is a blast from the past 😅
Commitment and down-to-earth attitude are truly inspiring. Keep it up.
Scammer

Glad to see you back on this one, it was one of my favs.
Brilliant work, can't wait to see it do a drive, heads will definitely turn
My favorite vehicle on the channel.....ever!
Ahhh, I knew you would be bringing out the legendary body hammer when I saw your title. You do good work!
Been a few years waiting but I made it too see the metal work finished lol. I'm excited too see the van finished. Love your show bud and I do the same kind of work as you. Feels nice too watch you build stuff and not just me .
Very good instructional video. One of your best in a while.
You never fail to impress!
Glad to see you back on this truck
more house calls! love seeing smiling faces after a big bummer
Glad to see the Econoline taking shape.
Good video, great Sunday morning entertainment.
At long last, the red truck returns! Rust repair on Crusty is what brought me to the channel all those years ago.
So glad you got back to this project!
2,000 views in 13 minutes, glad to see your channel doing well brother.
Respect to you for your work Mustie1.
May you continue doing what you enjoy.
And may everyone continue to comment on a video without watching it. This is the way,
@@eriklarson9137 Have watched it and going to watch it again just for you.
I’m another UK viewer. I’ve been waiting for AGES for the Econoline to make a reappearance. We never had those over here but based on your videos of this one I have so much want for one it’s hard to describe.
Finally! some Non broken snow plough/lawnmower/leaf blower content 😂
Dear maverick
👍👌👏 Yeah! And, thank god, especially no disassembling/cleaning/assembling carburetor content. 😁 ;-)
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Hello from Michigan, I love love love the series of econoline videos. Glad to see you're back on it. Cheers
Nice to see you are able to pick up the work on the Ford again. Very nice truck
That’s my early afternoon viewing sorted in the uk, thank you..
Same hear
@@JustAlex686 .......here......
Mine too😊
@@clivejoyce9437 And me
Woo Hoo, back on the '65 Ford. Can't wait to see how this machine is going to look when done.
A tech tip for the english wheel. When using it with bare wheels like you did, the metal will be displaced both left and right and fore and aft, giving a dome. If you cut a strip out of an innertube that can wrap around the large wheel, the fore and aft displacement goes away and all you get is the left and right displacement. The english wheel with a rubber strip on the large wheel would have been a better choice than the slip roller to give you the initial shape of the rocker panel. But hey, your method worked well in the end too.
Glad to see you working on this truck.
Really enjoyed the long video format. Great work!
thank you for another great video i enjoyed watching looking forward to next sunday
That is a pretty cool old truck. I remember back in the late 60's, my brother bought one of the Econoline vans of that style, from the telephone company. They were practically giving them away. He paid $25 for it!
I've been watching for years man, I remember the free junk being fixed in your garage at home. Glad to see a new video on this thing and hope to see it completely finished in the near future!
Been waiting for years to have the great pumpkin get it's metal work finished. Thank you.
A very unique vehicle, glad it will be back on the road again.
Awesome job Great video, I love all your cool tools. Thank you for sharing 😀
Yea buddy... been waiting for you to get back to this one! Always an adorable Ford from my childhood days!
Great video Mustie. It would be nice to see this old Econoline back on the road. They are so rare these days.
Love this vehicle glad you got back on it would love to see this complete.
Nice bit off of fabrication . Your commentary is so down to earth it’s refreshing and relaxing. Just great viewing. Thank 0:15 you so much.
Nice work my friend. I have done a LOT of this - it is VERY time consuming but also very rewarding.

I have been waiting forever for you to complete this project. I had a 66 van.
Looking Great Mustie1 👍
I can't believe I have been watching since before you started on that Econoline. Thanks for taking me along.
I was thinking the same thing, but then I remembered watching him bring Crusty back around, which was way before this one.
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1! Look forward to any of your projects next week.
Mustie's ability to take off sizes and shapes using cardstock is his superpower! And the whizwheel his not-so-secret weapon.😉
A good N.H. body and fender man at work in the shop. My brother was drafted for Vietnam in 1965, the year that pickup was made. He got hit in '66 and lost a lung.★!☆!★
Excellent video Mustie, interesting to watch you make the new panels for the awesome ford pick up truck, great job 👍👍
Add me to the list of folks who didn't wait patiently for you to finish this project. Love to watch you .dig in and repair something no one else wants
