- A budget revival of a rough 6-cylinder '66 Ford Mustang, off the road since the '80s. It won't be shiny. It won't be fast. Documentation of all the fumbling around I did in 2022. This video is an edit of the first 18 episodes - 90 minutes of footage cut down to a tight 55. You can continue watching at episode 19: • The Six 19 - 1966 Must...
YEAR TWO UPDATE: • The Six: SO FAR - 1966...

Always have a tremendous amount of respect for people that restore classics. There may be tons of them out there but unless they're well cared for, we don't see them out as often. Rough year but so much work done. Keep it up.
I'm working on one now. No more Vermont tags though. Love the Rockauto boxes and the budget restore. I call myself a preservationist. Love fixing the things that are broken. Best video out there showing it how it is. Young people should see this and learn the pleasures of working with your hands and the satisfaction of accomplishment. I'm 65 and spent my life doing this, slowly learning the techniques. Cheers my friend.
Beside the incredible an enormous work, your movie making skills are so excellent and pure passion.
I appreciate the positive feedback. thanks!
I love this kind of videos :
With no voice!
I've been clean and sober off the project car kick for almost 2 years. 0 project cars. Your video was so enjoyable to watch I started to look for another project and happened to Find a complete 66 coronet 2 door with minimal rust, for $1200. I just bought it this morning. Thanks...allot. 🤣
hell yeah!
What a man for taking on a project like this.
You are a brave soul!
Thank you so much for taking us along with you!
I feel your pain my friend. I've restored they rust buckets for over 40 years. Not much I haven't seen. The frustration is always worth it in the end. Even when it feels like the end will never come. Keep in there. Your doing great!!!
Good progress in one year, most people wouldn't touch this car, look forward to the next year!
Coat Hanger “temporary”, that was a perm fix in my day of teenhood.
You sure took on a big job.but glad to see that someone is willing to bring back a old car to life.👍
F-bomb count: 16.5
Keep up the good work sir. Highly entertaining.
Changing the EGR valve on my 2010 Jeep Wrangler led to my neighbor coming over to me and saying hey, everything OK ? I cursed to a level of 100 sailors going through a hurricane in 1890.
Great video and a great car! I'm looking forward to following your progress.
So nicely filmed, very good shots and cuts. I like the video. Must be a nightmare, but you saved an US icon.
It’s great to see another classic mustang come back to life ! Great video
I just bought this exact model a few months back- please continue sharing your progress- this video rullllllllesssssssssssss!
Glad you like it. You can continue watching at episode 19: th-cam.com/video/fnin7kAJgEI/w-d-xo.html
Excited to see your progress. I have been working on mine for almost 4 years now. Keep it up.
I think it is great to see I'm not the only one who does the best they can and just wants a car to enjoy. Without spending 10's of thousands of dollars to make it perfect. Just get them back on the road and enjoy them. That's what it's all about in the end.
Was very easy to watch.
Looking forward to the next and the transformation
One of the most interesting mustang videos I have seen. Never seen anyone restore a car with so much rust. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project.
Awesome gem of a video. My dad had a 66. When I was somewhere around 7 years old I used to just walk around it and study it from different angles. I love the presence of these body styles. Liked and subscribed!
100% agree. It's a beautiful piece of design.
A cool car wow
Great job. Lovely filming. Shows the process in an 'authentic' way. Thank you
Thanks very much!
Men at work, no blabla........
I'm excited !
My thoughts exactly no blah blah blah
Yep, me too… my ‘66 looks a lot like that. 57 years on this planet can do that to a car.
I enjoyed watching this. Nice work bring it back to life! Great video work as well!
My '66 Mustang is a Frankenstein. Per sn it's supposed to be a standard with 289. That'd make it 5 lug rear and front underpinnings. It's a 6 cylinder, had an automatic with 4 lug wheels. It came with headers and a two barrel carburetor conversion. After finding the clutch pedal tucked up under the carpet, I just had to convert it back to manual. Best decision ever! I can get good enough performance to beat many metric wanna be racers.
lol love the spray paint over tape technique
A daunting task and performed with a tasteful sense of humor and hilarious captions. You had me laughing out loud many times, and your expletives were totally appropriate. Thank you! Looking forward to more.
Really enjoyed that! Looking forward to the next one here in the UK!
Enjoyed the minimalist approach to narrating and greatly enjoyed this video. The spring going flying and subsequent “f**ker” at 48:36 was me on every project I’ve ever done. 😂
You made it happen brother you are the truth that is one way to get it done😊
14:01 LOL, We didn't expect to see that!😂
This was the best video !! Great content, great editing. You made it fun. I felt like I was doing it with you. Interesting, funny, informative. Looking forward to the next year !😊
I am in awe of your work on this 1966 Mustang! Well done sir will subscribe and follow
ДУЖЕ ТЯЖКО ТАКЕ ВІДРО ВІДНОВИТИ
I don't recall seeing one video where you have nice weather. It's always raining, snowing, cold etc. Sucks man. I feel for ya.
There's a reason New Englanders are grumpy fucks, ha.
took me 2 years had to replace rear quarter panels, complete trunk floor, doors, hood, trunk lid etc etc. there was no area mechanical that I did not rebuild, engine, trans, differential, added disc brakes and a/c, too many items to list. my mustang is the only vehicle that I own. I still work on the car and keep upgrading items that I need to. 78,000 miles and running fantastic
Good on ya
I remember in the 80s we got cars like this for $500-$750 in good running shape. If I only knew, same for the Rolex I bought in 2002 for $3800, I should have bought 3 of them, and could have sold the 2 unopened for 18k each a few years back.
hell yea brother
HI Tom wow .great video . nice job wow ,you keep me intrested .all the way. love the little mustang . you do great work your so brave , you keep going . a lot of time invested to do a job like that ,good work and so fun to see the finished work , and then enjoy it ,,,,,thanks so much, for the video ,fraser from toronto ontario canada take care for now ...
Here I am sitting in my truck before work watching you go through it with a box of parts for my six sitting shotgun. I have been cursing whoever worked on the car most of the way. Random wires that go nowhere and other half assed work. The battery wires were reversed black on pos red on neg and I didn’t notice til I had already drained all of the magic smoke fluid from the alternator.
12:10 I loved working on carburetors, my 1986 Honda XL 600, (In 1988) would stall on me constantly, even after bringing to Honda for service. I took the carb off, gave it a complete cleaning, and it ran like a clock after that, unfortunately 2 weeks later went through a ladies windshield and shattered my left leg 9 months in a cast, rods, one doctor even saying amputation was possible, but the advent of the EBI Bone Healer saved my leg, anyway , I digress.
Did a mouse come out of the exhaust pipe or was I seeing things?
It *did* look like a little skull, but it was all nutshells and nest material.
Great video. Keep up the great content
Good job Tom
sticky tape over rust holes, good job
13:47 Oh there's f/king gas in Here!
13:50 Shoers sparks everywhere from the angle grinder.
Classic.
That’s a giant oil filter for a 6, wow.
Use a string to pull the spring
I see your in New England too
Pretty f'n enjoyable video. Not one busted knuckle.....yet
I like it!!!!! Awsome!!!
Keep at it, Mustangs rock ! Get some floors from Dynacorn.
Whata good find
Don’t laugh. He’s not the one who lives in a hamster maze or an HOA.
are you going to do a follow up video after the repair of the floor?
This long video is a compilation of 18 short episodes. You can pick up where this leaves off at episode 19: th-cam.com/play/PLf5vjOi-izPxPterhE8xNQneOOgMAZa8y.html
I love the random 'Fuck You!' comments really captures the shit you had to deal with.
We used to say ( good enough for a government worker) 👍make it functional and kinda Shiney. And Enjoy it!! Let the next guy do an expensive ground up. All he'll do is stare at it ( like a boat out of water!!!
Funniest thing I've seen in awhile. 0 talking almost all video (which I liked) and then out of nowhere just a "fucker"!!!!
Carbs do make you fat but not as badly if they are complex. If you got away with crime in your youth, you've definitely paid your debt to society by now with all that work you did on this car. Made my 66 mustang look like a trailer queen. I feel like a lazy bum now.
Cómo parchar un clásico, aunque todo podría ser válido no necesariamente debería ser así
Varnished gas worse than old gear oil in the differential ?
the six car is worth keeping in original stock....they are more rare than a v8 one
Can you add a turbo kit for it
I could push it down a steep hill, maybe.
I have a question because I'm about to do some body straightening on the back bumper and passenger side quarter panel for this 16 year old kid .
I'm asking because he lives kinda far from me and he doesn't understand what I mean, go figure ..
Is the back above the bumper completely strait ?
Only if I can add some pictures it would be nice
vous avez beaucoup de courage , parce qu elle tres abimée votre mustang
That’s the problem with these old fixes, fix one thing then downstream something else is going to fail, and you go down that wormhole, all good if you expect it and have the finances. As my buddy used to say, “it’s a pain in the dick”
64 and a half Duuu
🫵😌.. like this video.. more doing less talking like most.... 🫵😌100%%🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Just grab an engine hoist and ditch the 6.
0
That L bracket goes on under the body lip not on top.
This isnt right
Pull that six out and rebuild it is sixty years old why are frustrating your self.
Because I'm learning and enjoying myself.
@Tom Pappalardo thanks for your reply I understand what you mean. I found out with my mustand (some) that no body will play the money if it just runs that what happened to me. Cheers, no disrespect intended.
You did not answer my questions regarding this project; therefore I have unsubscribed due to lack of interest.
Love following along on Instagram, mate!
