You should do the wiring video. Car guys will watch anything that involves cars, and wiring isn’t an easy thing to do. You may not think it’s a good video topic, but someone somewhere will be thankful that you made it.
I will definitely do a video on the wiring, but it will likely be important highlights as I go along, with maybe some timelapse sprinkled in.
I'm trying to find the balance of making a good how-to videos, give a little extra to the loyal Subs that just want to watch the progress on the build, and keep the videos from feeling bloated. :)
I totally agree
@@AndyKruseChannel Big problem with wiring vids is the cramped places where the wiring lives. I'm rewiring under the dash of my '65 right now, adding an aux fuse block, etc and there's no room under there at all! Oh and all the sheet metal is razor sharp, just for fun.
I will watch a wiring video, there is always something to learn
I agree. Should do the wiring video. I watched the painless video from CJ at least 20 times and still missed stuff. I would really like to see the detail that you go through to hide and reroute, Andy
How about some pics of the stang in the paint shop????
I wish I had them, but my painter is hard to get a hold of. :)
Please do a wiring video. We watch your videos for the education. We've learned so much from your experiences and you sharing them with us. I personally have re-watched your videos several times when I'm doing projects of my own and have learned from your experiences while still making mistakes of my own. Keep up the good work sir, and Thank you!
Yeah, I'll put a video together, just gotta figure out how to make it helpful and interesting without feeling like a 2 hour boring Masters Thesis. :)
Maybe extra help videoing? 🤷♂️
Would actually really appreciate the wiring video. I have a 66 that I’m considering redoing the entire wiring setup and man am I intimidated. So I know I would watch that vid!
I feel your pain, and on the surface the wiring instructions do look a little overwhelming. But it's not as difficult as you'd think, especially since this harness is designed to plug into existing components in the car because they use the same connectors. I'll be able to show this when we get there. :)
Do the wiring video. Even if you have to break it up into a series, it would be greatly appreciated. You'd be surprised at how many of us DIY gearheads appreciate detailed videos. The more detailed the better IMO. As for as what to do/film while waiting for the mustang to return. You could install a 220v heater in your garage that mounts on the ceiling to help take off the chill and film that. Due to space constraints in your garage you could build a shelf where your QA1 banner is and that would free up some space/clutter on the floor and not interfere with parking. Like your vids take it easy.
I wondered if a multipart video on the wiring would be good, but I haven't yet decided how it would provide the info some want without feeling like a mind numbing dive into "there's no space under the dash to work, this is horrible!"
I wish I could put a heater in like you described. The biggest issue is the breaker panel is 100 feet in the opposite direction. A natural gas unit would make more sense with the proximity of my gas metering system, but that'll be pricey. :)
Build a Cobra kit car . "Factory Five" You already have the engine !
I was day dreaming of that kind of build over a decade ago. I even ordered their free catalog kit so I could plan my build. It turns out that building a $25k kit back in the day was just as expensive and near impossible to my budget as building a $50k+ Fastback today is. :)
I'm really interested in the wiring project...67 Coupe owner here.
Can confirm, Car guys and Gals WILL watch everything involving cars
I'm trying to find the balance of making a good how-to videos, give a little extra to the loyal Subs that just want to watch the progress on the build, and keep the videos from feeling bloated. There's gotta be a compromise in there somewhere. :)
Some content suggestions while the car is away: a Q&A, go through your top 10 favourite cars (that you don't own) but that you like and commenting on why you like them, feature and review guest cars, an episode where you mention which other youtube channels you follow etc
I have a list of ideas for alternate videos and your list is pretty much all on there, with a few more. So that's good to hear we're on the same page. :)
Could always do a old classic truck project. It’s different, and depending on what Kind of truck you buy and what kind of vision you’d have for it, it’s relatively cheap and easy to restore/modify and build. Keep up the great work man!
Yeah, I've got my eye on a older truck, maybe I just need to get'r done?
@@AndyKruseChannel yessir, well whatever you decide, good luck, can’t wait to see what other great content you put out.
Hi Andy, i appreciate your videos as they have helped me understand how to work on things with it. As a new 66 fastback owner, and fellow RUclipsr, my videos are more in the road course racing world. I think you should film more of where your driving, like car meets, cruises, highway pulls. Well because your car is operational and I am living vicariously through your 66 lol. Thanks for the help!
Jay aka steelankles
I would like to do more videos like that, but I am basically a one-man show. I'll see what I can do. :)
A Cobra kit would be interesting. But when I’m done with my Mustangs, I was thinking about a late 70’s CJ-7. They’re very straight forward and all the parts are available. Maybe put a 351W in it. A ‘63 Falcon would be cool too. Lot of good ideas on here.
A Falcon would be cool, but then I'd have to decide which direction to take that build, it'd be great to have that dilemma. :)
Kit car! That 289 would go great in one. Call factory five.
I was day dreaming of that kind of build over a decade ago. I even ordered their free catalog kit so I could plan my build. It turns out that building a $25k kit back in the day was just as expensive and near impossible to my budget as building a $50k+ Fastback today. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel Very true! I was the same with GT40 kits. Guessing the movie Ford /vs Ferrari prompted copyright strikes on kit manufacturers. MK4 roadster is on my (long) list of future projects :)
Maybe you could get some content of the painting process that the shop is doing?
I'd like to, but my painter is difficult to get a hold of. :)
I’m very curious on what you do for a living Andy. My guess is some kind of mechanical engineering degree. The things you sell on your web site lead me in that direction.
Also, if you do start another project, begin it with a “Will it Run” video, since those seem to be big view vids. Where you are at it shouldn’t be too hard to find an old Ford truck that needs some TLC and begin with that. Once you get it going you can then do a bunch of videos on upgrades kinda like what you’ve done with the Mustangs.
Just throwing some ideas out there for ya.
Keep up the good work, sure enjoy watching. PS, I’m guessing you are getting the FB painted black with gold stripes, ala Hurst rental…
There's a podcast out there that might answer some of your questions.
I've got my eyes on another Ford, just gotta convince the Boss we need it, and then I can make some videos. :)
When you do the wiring and if you plan on using a loom - 100% get the split loom. Clean look & easy to use.
Also, with limited mustang videos forthcoming, insights into tools you like/hobbies/products in development/etc. may be good?
I've already purchased the split loom, but not crappy plastic corrugated kind, the better 'mesh' style.
Yeah, I've got those kinds of topics written down, but the hard part is figuring out how to make those videos interesting. Nobody wants a talking head for 8 minutes. :)
I would like to see the “boring wiring” . Mine is a mess under the dash , would be nice to see how to clean it up
I'm not sure that installing a new aftermarket wiring harness will solve the issues you are having with a stock harness, but I'll see what I can do. :)
I’d love to see you work on the 289 and rebuild it while the fastback is in the shop.
I would too, except I think the work I'd like to do needs to be done by a shop with the correct tools, which I don't have. I might be able to build some of it, but we'll see. :)
I suggest you make the wheel caps available un-polished and let the buyer polish it themselves. I’d be ok with that to save the potential additional cost of having you do it. Just a thought! Good luck!
The caps come un-polished currently, sold hundreds that way. However, there has been some requests for polished and I'm trying to figure out a way to offer them that way without spending a lot having them done or doing it my self (which is super time consuming). :)
I am all about seeing how you get a wiring harness in. That is next on my list to get all the wiring replaced. So… do your thing! 👍🏼
I see what I can do. :)
Hi Andy
#1 I would take the carpet out of the box if you haven't yet.
#2 I have a one car garage in Miami. My garage is very tight. Very tough to do something in the summer with high heat inside the garage and rainy afternoons. Now that the car isn't there you can organize it move the truck a little over. Some people don't have a garage garage. Well take care.
Thanks for the tip on the carpet. I know what you are talking about with the one car garage, I was in the same boat 20 years ago. Sadly the truck won't fit in the 3rd bay, but I have cleaned up the garage a little since the car has been gone. :)
Hell ya! great to see the evolution of the channel!
Appreciate it!
Should you decide to build a shop, I would recommend in floor radiant heat. It's nice to work in a building where everything is warm even on the coldest winter day! Thanks for the video. Excited to see the car after paint.
I 100% agree, but last time I checked Shops weren't free, so...... :)
I agree with the comments on wiring... it is interesting because it can be a real pain...lol... would be cool to hear why you chose aaw vs painless etc...what you liked and not...example the crimper challenges (aaw crimper vs another) ..what you changed.. will be interesting to see the car after it's back and you start to put it back together..... looking forward to your vids...
Yeah, I plan to mention some stuff like that. I did get the AAW crimpers, so we'll see if they're the cat's meow or not. :)
Good luck with the paint. My Mustang been in the paint shop for 7 months. My paint shop needs to do insurance claims first and I am doing a drip rail delete with a candy apple red. We will enjoy our cars when they come out. Note: I am on my third Mustang, my first was 65, difference between you and me is my 65 was new and I got married with it.
Yeah, I'm not liking the timeframe for painting, but for now I can hold onto a sliver of hope that'll be done in time. :)
Something I'd be interested in hearing more about is planning. How do you plan/organize/research the work you want to do on your car? I've been using Notion to document my project, plan budgets, and keep track of resources I'll need when I do things.
I've touched on these subjects in other videos, but I understand that not everyone has seen all my videos, or is even interested in doing so. I try to be careful not to repeat myself (or at least the topics), but sometimes I need to revisit certain topics. I'll see what I can do. :)
Since the 70's I've been a 65-66 Mustang guy but I love my 71-73 cars as well. You should do a big Pony car build, a '71 429 or '72 R Code 351CJ car! Go for a Mach 1, a sportsroof or convertible!
I'm in on that idea. The biggest issue is finding the funds to get the car..... :)
All it takes is time and money right??
Wiring Video Suggestions...
- What worked for you.
- What didn't work for you
- Tips/Tricks you learned along the way.
- What you would do differently next time.
- Best way to hide the wires to keep a clean engine bay.
I plan to cover all of this because that's the only way I can think a wiring video will provide any value. Maybe a few timelapse portions for filler, but not too much, don't want the video to feel bloated. :)
Thanks for the update Andy.
No problem. 🙂
I did the American Auto wire in my Mustang. Surprisingly went quick. This is the third American Auto wire harness I’ve done…the other two were in my 74 and 75 F250’s.
I have a small shop with my tractor, mustang, reload bench, and large wood stove inside…doesn’t take long for extra room to be used up , but a shop isn’t complete without a work bench covered is miscellaneous items 🤣
That's good to hear about how easy the harness will be, it looks like it won't be too bad.
I need a bigger shop. Too bad interest rates are so high, or maybe I could afford to build a shop. :)
Any plans on having Kruse Built hats by chance? I would for sure buy a couple!!!!
@@mitchmadden1938 I would like to do more Merch, including hats. The issue I have is they are expensive at the quantities I can sell, and finding designs that works for the most people. I understand that not every part I sell will fit on everyone's car, or fit their particular build path, but shirts and hats will fit a lot more people. Now I just need to find a good design. :)
I’ll keep checking. I like a lot of the stuff you have in your store and would much rather support you and your local business once, I get closer to putting the car together.
Thanks for the update Andy, always look forward to your videos as I have been rebuilding my Wimbledon white 66 coupe for the last 14 months, your videos have been invaluable, had to convert my Mustang to a right hand drive as well, nearly done, i will be ordering your seat extension rails very soon from your website as that was another great idea i got of you, look forward to seeing your car when it gets back from the paint shop.
Best regards Dave from down under
I appreciate the support and I hope my videos can continue to provide you with some value. :)
Love to see a video of your favorite or most used shop tools and/or equipment. Maybe a bare essentials to get started with a project car. Also, a bronco would be a fun new project.
Yeah, I've got that 'favorite tools' or something like that kind of video on my list of options. :)
Video idea...
Can you visit the paint shop? Show us the progress of the car? Show us the painters process?
I'd just be happy with my painter returning my calls at this point. But I don't want to be one of 'those' customers, and I don't want it to affect the paint job. :)
Thank you Andy for sharing all your knowledge and experience. And as an idea for video, it would be nice some video about weight distribution and reduction, not radically as race cars, but for common guys like us that have a classic as a hobby. Some aluminum parts, some tricks....
That kind of video is on the list, but it makes more sense to do it with the car, so I can point and show how and where reductions can be made. :)
Thanks for the update Andy.. I too am suffering from EGD!! (empty garage disorder) Getting mine ceramic coated by my son. Also bought one of your Monte Carlo Bars should be getting delivered today, 2/9, as a matter of fact.. Can't wait to put that in! Any video by you is a good video! Thank you and love the content.
Awesome, that ceramic coating stuff is amazing. It should last forever considering how often we drive these cars. Thanks for the support!! :)
I'm really looking forward to the carpet install and the wiring harness install. I have the same brand carpet you have that will hopefully go in this summer. I also have the AAW complete wiring harness that is partially installed. I hope you video as much as possible of the wiring install. That would be helpfull to me and most likely many all the other Mustang nuts.
The trick is making the wiring video interesting and helpful. It doesn’t do anybody any good if I can’t offer some help in the video. 🙂
Just wanted to say thank you for all the informative videos I really appreciate all the work that you put into them. A wiring video would be great. Your old 289 engine did you ever pull the heads, what is it like inside the cylinders? Why would you want to work on something other that a 66 mustang? In my opinion they are one of the most awesome cars ever built. Can't wait to see the new paint.
Wiring video is coming up. I did a video about pulling the heads on that 289 to see how bad it was. :)
I’d watch a wiring video too! I’m also feeling the same pain. My garage is a mess… worse than yours. I can’t even tell what material my workbenches are made of because they’re covered up with so much stuff. If I had more space I’d get a 71 Mach 1 to work on. But all of my cash is getting sucked up by the 69 Mach 1…
Trust me, my benches and horizontal spaces would look like what you've described if I didn't need to have my garage on camera. :)
Cool seeing the garage from the other side. I understand the lights on the bench facing you. Been there! For the space issue... I've struggled with that and ended up keeping my truck outside and another project indoors. Cool to hear you are thinking about another Mustang! I'm a fan of the 69/70s! :) I'd do some research on garage projects or garage improvements you can do while you are waiting for the car to get back. In my previous experiences, the cars never come back to you on time.
Thanks Brotha, one of these days we'll have you over to the house and you can see the garage and Theater Room too.
Yeah, I'm getting nervous on the clock for painting. We're getting towards the end of the advertised window, hoping the car will get done in time. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel Sounds like a plan!
Dude; show us some pictures of the car in its current condition whilst it’s being worked on. Be great to see it go through its transformation.
I would like to, but right now my painter is hard to get a hold of. :(
Enjoy the videos. I know they're often overlooked, but how about a 64 or 65 Falcon hardtop? I have a 64 hardtop, and us Falcon guys would love that👊
The 63-64 Falcon is on my list of cars I'd like to build. The first hurdle is getting the funds to buy one, but the next hurdle is making the content interesting because there are way fewer Falcon fans than Mustang fans. :)
I disagree, I installed the aaw harness and wish I would have recorded it. Note, measure twice and measure one more time before you cut. Remove any wires you won’t use. Also, invest in a good pair of crimpers.
Measure once and cut twice, got it!
Yeah, I buckled down and purchased the AAW crimpers, so we can skip that headache. :)
I cut the thing THREE TIMES and it's STILL too short. Lol.
I have a 67 coupe that has a 1970 BOSS302 in it. I have done the Painless wiring about 6 years ago years ago when I painted the car. Obviously the hardest part is routing the wire and meticulously covering it with loom and anchoring so there is no movement. I would guess it took about 30-40 hours of work.
Ugh, that doesn't sound like fun. I hope it doesn't take that long. I need to invest in a machine that will do tasks when I snap my fingers. :)
Thanks for the video Andy! Apart from Mustangs, I personally like old Corvettes (C2) and Porsches (911 from the 80's), so it would be cool if you happen to have any interest in these cars too :)
I would like to have a few other car projects, but it seems like most of what is available in my area is crap and/or over priced. I may have to travel to find something worth working on. :)
how about a 1963 Ford Fairlane sports coupe ? build one
I'm in, now I gotta dig up some cash. :)
Hey Andy have you looked into possibly doing a rear taillight applique panel for the fastback? They are still available and no one has an installation video on doing one.
Not sure what that is. I always liked the black taillight panel sections on these cars, but only on solid color cars. It doesn't look as good with a car that has stripes. :)
@AndyKruseChannel the panel is a pot metal or aluminum ribbed panel that bolts over the taillight panel right below the trunk lid. Most were painted body color but that is a decision up to the owner. I have a 67 convertible mustang that is Acapulco Blue with Platinum stripes and I'm going to polish the one I got since it should be close to the Platinum stripes. They bolt on with studs and special spacers and the replace the taillight enclosures going on either side of the gas cap. You do have to drill holes for the mounting hardware. Might be worth a look searching under rear taillight applique panel.
Please show the wiring...getting ready to rewire two projects and have never done it before/.
I'll do my best to highlight the important bits, and maybe what would be helpful for those that are new to the 12V world. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
Will you be doing 3pt harness w/ anchor above door?
I have thought about it, but I'm not sure yet. :)
I've been meaning to ask. Where did you get the rims for your mustang? I'm thinking those will work well on my 58 Ranchero project. Also, love all the videos, I've been doing most of the same things on the 58 project, so thank you.
Wheels are off eBay. I have a video about them on the channel. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel awesome I'll check that video out. Thank you and keep up the good work on the channel. Would love to do similar but I don't have the patience when I'm working on cars lol. I get heated pretty quick when someone stupid happens making it a rough task.
Don't worry, I make enough mistakes for both of us on my car, so you should be fine. :)
Do a 63/64 sports coupe falcon😊
Don't tempt me! :)
You need a bigger Man Cave!
That’s already covered in an older video. 😉
@@AndyKruseChannel I didn't see the video. I would like to have a garage like Jay Leno's , full time mechanics, etc. It doesn't hurt to dream!
How long before it’s back from paint?
Yes. :)
Work on 68 mustang
You can, I don't have a '68. :)
What color are you going with on the car? Are you adding stripes?
I talk about the color in the end of the video where I send the car off to paint. ;)
how about a Chevrolet Camaro? or only Ford ?
I'm not only a Ford guy, so I could try other brands. I am more familiar with Ford, so making a how-to video is a little easier for me. :)
Are you going to be selling the carpet? I left a comment on your most recent Instagram post- Gavin
I haven't given it any thought, not sure what I'll do with the carpet. I may have to set something up on my website to sell parts I no longer need, that might be the best way to do it? :)
69 Mach 1
I'll add it to the list. :)
Cobra kit car
Yeah, a Factory Five Cobra would be a fun project. :)
‘64 Thunderbolt, ‘63 falcon sprint, 40s-early 50s cruiser updated to modern standards, ‘68 torino nascar tribute
So many options with YOUR money haha
I like most of that list. But I've got to be honest, the Torino is no where near my list, I just can't get behind the styling. It feels like a wanna-be Mustang and I just can't do it. Sorry Brotha!! :)
@@AndyKruseChannel haha no worries. Other than fastback mustangs, I’m not a ford guy anyway
Nooooo. Please keep doing Mustang restore vids. You, and a couple of others, are key points of training for what to do (and occasionally, what not to do) for me when I'm working on my wife's 1965. Please choose another classic, maybe a real fixer upper that you can show things we can't find on other vids. After all, you can always sell the restored car to pay for your next project!
I don't plan to stop the vids, but I also don't want to make a vid just for the sake of doing so. 99% of my channel is how-to/informative content, so filming myself going to the grocery store is not where I want to be right now. I still have a few things in the works though. :)
