Green scratches pad and comet cleanser.

Sad how people treat equipment. It will shine up, going to be expensive. St.Paul,Minnesota.

The cool thing about about it is.. back in that cars day somebody at one time or another loaded up the family to go watch that man drive that car go around a dirt track

Good car fix up.and paint

What part ohio you in

Crazy that it started that quick

I've just come across your channel I love the car stuff & long episodes and you've got both right here looking forward to watching more 💯👍🏻

1998 I rolled a street stock at Lakeville Speedway

After watching pole barn garage Vise grip garage and everybody else in between I just stumbled upon your Channel how common why not has this channel not taken off yet I'm going to share the heck out of this channel to try and do what I can not bad I like the content keep on continuing with it thank you Chris Maine US

Overall, this refurb went really well.. not too many glitches as one can find with 60 year old cars.. paint came up pretty nicely, considering the condition she was in. Nice Job on it man..

Wow the Power washing came out great...

Ive got one like this myself... other than that quarter panel, your body is in good shape there.. These cars are so prone to rust, it;s actually pretty impressive.. Chrome and stuff looks like it will clean up nicely.. I need to do floor pans and stuff in the package tray area before I sand an paint. Loved this video. can wait to see the process of it..

Restore the paint job completely .. 🖤💯

I must of not been paying attention I don’t remember him replacing the oil and filter and new rotor cap new plugs and wires and fuel filters OR MAYBE HE WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL HE NEEDS A NEW STARTER After all it has not been started in 50 plus years

They just don’t have the resale value to bring it back original but RESTOMODS bring much better returns

If it was mine I would be looking for a 5.0 mustang engine and a manual transmission

I was just thinking about 2 seat Thunderbird the other day. It seems like when I was a kid, back in the 1980s, these cars had almost a legendary status. They were everywhere on TV and movies, always presented as well restored at car shows, were priced out of reach in any condition (for those times), and were generally the kind of car you couldn’t afford and only dreamed about. I am not sure exactly when it happened, but it seemed as though one day they kind of disappeared from the American consciousness. You didn’t see them on movies and TV that much anymore and, slowly, they no longer seemed to appear at car shows as much, either. Lately, I have even starting seeing rougher car for sale for under $6k. It seems like only the oldest generations in the antique car community seem to still hold them in the highest regard. I really don’t understand why they have not started gaining in both value and collectability? Especially the ‘57, which I always found to be the sleekest of the three years!

Sounds good, hope your problems are resolved.😊

Why’s the owners manuals say Tempest and the car says Gran Prix am I missing something here.

I am a new subscriber, and I want to give you my sincere condolences for the loss of your father. My father is very close to me, and he has a 56 bird. He has had it since 1987, and we got it from Amos Minter. Even though it was restored when he got it he decided to blow it all apart and do it again. It’s been a member of our family since, and his baby! I have turned many a wrench on that car with him, and my favorite times are with him and that car.

To much talk not enough work

Enjoyed this video. I bought a 57 baby bird 4 years .I had been took care of good shape fun to drive. Good luck on your Dad's , fun to drive...I'll be watching for update. update. Steve

That black stuff in your fuel filter is your rubber line getting eaten away from that Obama gas!!!

Nice just bought one of these with an original 400 small block. Troubleshooting a back fire on mines so will reference this video.

Thats weird, my 66 Grand Prix has a factory tach located to the left of the steering wheel and usually the center location of your tach is a vacuum gauge. I have a 389 4bbl with auto center shift. I love my car and it also has 8 lug wheels, less than 52 K., pwr. windows including the vent or cigarette windows, and a electronic hood release. Thanks for your tips.

You can cut down the output shaft. Friend of mine has an atlas t-case bolted to an orginal 2wd trans. I knew 1st gen 80-90s were tricky... but dam. 2nd gens are awesome... 2013 to current - dam near the same 🤙

Has been a minute

Watching from Georgia

Watching from Iceland

It will take time. But. It will be worth. Nice car .I Really like it

Awesome rescue !

I have a '56 with the 312 and 4 barrel with 3 speed fordomatic transmission Happily I changed out the carb for a newer holley squarebore as the original 4000 teapot was crap Runs great now with everything new underneath but it drove like a waterbed, swaybars front and rear with beefed up rear leaf springs makes it nice The continental spare is a PITA so a full spare and hydraulic jack in the trunk Going to cut the floor pan and add a tire well for more room Fun to drive everyone loves it Getting 15-17 mpg and she only likes the high octane Check the valvetrain as known to plug up. Gotta run zinc oil for solid lifters and put in electric fan for summer traffic Good luck with yours!! Nice when I see another on the road 👌!!

This is Nathen I like your videos I’m your biggest fan your doing a great job keep up the good work I sound like an usually but I’m serious

Commented on your first vid. Keep it going fella. If you ever have questions on the car, you are more than welcome to get ahold of me.

I have owned 12 55, 56, 57 Thunderbirds. Yes, all at once. Was a project of my fathers and mine. I think I have wrenched every single nut and bolt on the first gen. It is worth restoring, if possible, just from a historical standpoint. As always, the story is worth keeping as well. In stock form, they are pretty...well interesting to drive( difficult ) especially if you are not small enough to get your legs under the steering wheel. If anyone else has driven one you know what I mean. Good luck on the project fella. It's a diamond in the rough.

Enjoyed the video! I have the same thing going on. I have a 57 Thunderbird that has been sitting since 1966. It was my uncles who left it to my dad and other uncle when he passed. They are all gone now and I have the car. I’m rebuilding the 4160 Holley right now and hope to start the car up in the next few months. Good luck with your project!

I love this kinda stuff. Good video man!

Good job dude Good video

Man i want this car!!!

If you want to sell it hit me up!!!!!!!!

Very nice video. I got my first 1956 T'bird in 1969. Sold it in 1971. Bought two more '55s and sold them also. In 1977 I bought another '56 that was in storage from 1966 to 1977. I restored the car to driver condition and it has been with me since. I have driven the car for 47 years. It has won many trophies. My car is a plain-jane with no options except the radio and the windshield wash. I wish that I would have kept the girl who was with me in 1969 when I brought my first Bird (as your Dad did). Thanks again.

Awesome job

Whole different looking car nice job

Good job

Lol

A passion only few can comprehend. Well done! From 🇨🇦 with love. P.s check out Cars and Cigars

The 350 Chevy with the TBI on the intake manifold looks like the same set up on my '89 Caprice.

Make it a Mad Max type vehicle.

So very cool! There is nothing like hearing one come back to life. Thanks for sharing.

Can u get about 6 k for it ?
