I like the fact that your channel covers a variety of cars from 90s to 60s it definitely keeps it interesting to watch
I appreciate that!
Agreed. F the naysayers watching for free in their Moms basement. Your topics and how to is "real world" applications. What every kid is going to face working in their driveway.
I'm 65 so I'm enjoying watching your work on the Galaxies and F100. My 1st car was a 62 Galaxie coup back in 73. Back then we were jacking rear ends up, not lowering them. Mine was a 250 cui 6 banger so there wasn't much power with it. I admire your tenacity to try to make things work but you might want to try a little lateral thinking instead of beating your head against the wall. I restored a few cars over the years and often found myself sitting down at 2am wondering what the heck I was trying to accomplish. Keep with it, I look forward to your videos.
I agree...lol. Sometimes, it's good to just get a good night's sleep...and start fresh again the next day....ready to face the challenges that were stressful at the end of the last day.
Take all your time with the projects my friend, I’m 26 with a kid, 2 jobs, and a wife who works an opposite shift of me, I have 3 projects that don’t get any love or attention because of life, I work on them when I can but with my current life, a weekend job takes 6 months, so a lot of us understand, just do you, have fun doing it, and you’ll succeed 🤙🏼
We Love all your videos. Obviously the Truck and Galaxy are the favorite, but every video we learn from and enjoy the entire time. Just keep sharing and don't worry too much about the negative babys. Rock On!
Galaxy is looking great! Your fabrication content is the strength of the channel, especially because you’re 22! Keep up the great work
seen the Town Car on D-Max Rhino video when he was at the PreRunner event it even caught his eye LOL
At least with the white galaxie you have a practice car to learn from when you do the red one.
I think you do a very good job especially for your limited time and resources. I'm very impressed with your patience and work ethics especially given your still a very young man, i will enjoy whatever you put out there. Thanks again
Advice from an ole guy who started working on cars at 13 yrs old (now 65) one car at a time.. But I know its hard with scheduling and school! Patience :-) Love that you are a Ford guy! Praying for you!
Wow 22 years old, you are very talented. I am really enjoying your content.
I didn't realize you were that young. I bought my '64 at 22 (9 years ago). Really enjoying watching your progress on everything. Seeing you working out in the California sun really makes me not want to complain about workspace ever again
The cars and the channel are great. You have skills I would give anything to have. Screw the ones that complain.
I’m trying to watch all your videos so you can make more videos bud! I thought you were older. You have a lot of talent for your age. I’m impressed amigo! Keep up the good job! Your dad should be very proud!
I love your channel and completely understand the situation people don’t realize how much time college takes out of your day but keep up the good work 🔥🔥
You're doing a great job on your videos, it doesn't matter what car you work on to me . Any sensible person would know that it takes money to put these old cars & trucks together. Your videos are great because you work on stuff and show exactly what is going on and you're truthful about it. Plus you show all the different cars & trucks at the shows ,you make us feel like we a there. Thank you for taking us on your journey and teaching us your skills on the way . Keep up the great work and God Bless. 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
Between the two galaxies these galaxies have been whipping your ass but I'll have to say one thing for you you keep coming back no matter how bad it gets you end up whipping the Galaxy's ass kudos to you just keep up the good work one of these days you'll look back and both of them will be finished me personally if it was me I would have already thrown in the towel if your college grades or any example of what you do you'll graduate with honor
Your videos are great. If your not feeling the galaxy dont feel obligated to work on it. Do what you want.
Love all you do…keep up the content. I am impressed. Not too many young men have your energy or interest in classic vehicles.
Nothing wrong with your content bro verity is the spice of life! Keep doing what your doing brother 💯
Just my two cents, don't forget the pinion angle. Great project, thanks for sharing.
Your neighbors must love you
I think there is a site online that Tony Angelo from hot rod garage used when he built his cuda that you can put in your bar lengths and angles and it will tell you if your geometry is going to be correct, I can’t remember the name, maybe someone else will read this and know it
Hey Craig, I just wanna say that I've been enjoying the full range and variety of your vids lately. I'm a middle aged guy that also has a variety of different project cars, and I appreciate that so much of what you do has application and interest beyond whatever your specifically working on. Keep up the good work.
Chineseum means nothing fits and therefore must be custom! Custom means you must re-engineer/modify everything yourself! Most of the time us car guy's would have been better off if we'd just have built the stuff ourselves rather than trying to go the cheaper route of a universal kit and then have to make it fit anyways. I hear the frustration in your voice! Rest assured, you are not alone! My 63 f100 has been waiting for nearly 30 years to be road worthy! Keep on truckin, we're all rooting for you! 🙂🤑
I like all your content. It definitely gives your viewers variety. I’m a huge Fox body fan so I’m liking the Mustang stuff. But I’m a car guy at heart and can appreciate all you do 👍
I look forward to every single upload! Super hype to see the results on all your builds Craig!
Keep up the great job you are doing. Watching from Sweden. Appreciate everything you do! Best, Mike
I took a portapower and spread the openning for the tire! It kinda straightens up both sides if you take your time and it's a lot easier to control how much move it!
Keep your eye on the prize! ie you know in your head how you want it to be, you are very capable of achieving your goals! Looking forward to seeing your next video!
Best part of the video is when you tripped on the car cover then flipped the car off. 🤣
Live and learn Craig, the frustration is written all over your face. Make it work and move on. Now you can remember what you did and not repeat it on the red one. Great video, you show the truth in what can happen and how to fix it. Keep it up.
by moving the axel back you will have to lengthen the drive shaft. you will save money by keeping the axel in the stock position
Several parts of this car have already been modified. A stock length drive shaft is not a priority.
@@mightymikethebear it is to an added cost for a 22 year old college student that doesn't need to create more problems for himself
Craig, I love all your content you make. Don’t change a thing! Your making great videos. Mixing it up keeps it interesting. Geez, what is Craig gonna work on now? 😂😂😂😂🤟🤟🤟🤟 I wish I was 22 again, more power to ya 💪💪 was your kit made in China? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 great video again 👍👍
Your link ends should be threaded halfway in not all the way in so you have adjustment. I have the Ride Tech kit and still had to cut it up
Thanks for a great video. As embark on my own restoration project seeing what you’re doing has been extremely helpful. I really appreciate your content.
Best TH-camr ever keep it up 🤘
Good luck with your 4 link install. My Galaxie is bagged and it stayed on jackstands for a year while I tried to figure out the rear setup. I ended up going with a 65 Galaxie style 3 link. Works like a champ!
Craig, Seeing that the leaf spring is under the axel couldnt you have put blocks between the leaf springs and axel to push the axel up into the body? Seems like that would have been easier.
Your hard work is much appreciated, keep up the good fight, you're vids are awesome. Thanx!
Way to go bud, makin progress
You don't have to explain anything about content or lack thereof... Ever heard of Adam LZ (of course you have), keep up the fun, keep up the WORK and in a few short years you'll look back with AMAZEMENT!!!!!
This showed in my recommendations, looking forward to seeing more of this build. My next project is my uncles 63.5 galaxie 500, so this is inspiring to me. Totally subscribed and I agree with Frieburger, its a good quote
It looks great man, all of the hard work is paying off & that ride height looks sweet !
Keep grinding away & trust me once you jump in that finished bitchin' ride & hit the streets all of this hard & dirty work will be just a distant memory✌😎,
Hope u get a big sponsor. You videos are great.
I love the content you are putting out. Keep up the awesome work.
I love the mustang videos but I will say I enjoy all your content!
Great job on those link rods.
I like the new attitude - not perfect but running!
JJs are forged & rebuildable spherical joints. (created by a buddy of mine back in da' deh....then sold to currie.). the ends you have in that kit are welded all-thread.....not good for side loads, especially on a big gurl like a Galaxie...works for mock up, but I'd consider building your own DOM links. you CAN get forged one-piece bushed ends which are nice quality, like the ones I used on my buddy's apache which are sold by Barnes 4x4. they also sell the inserts.
Being able to drive one around the yard is a hellova motivator, my problem is when it gets mobile shortcuts start developing and i cuss myself for getting in a hurry lol
Great video amazing what you get accomplished working by yourself
Speaking for myself,I just love rebuilding brand new stuff I bought so I don't have to build it myself in the first place.
Looks like you are making good progress !
You should run a set of those coilover shock. They put them on a lot of hot rods. I think there called qa1.? And you probably could have made your own set of 4 links using 120 wall cutting and tapping and buying hyme joints. Can weld a nut even on them end of the link.
Looks sick bro
Love your vids, I've had almost every color 63-64 Galaxie ever. Pulled my first one from a field for 275.00, It ran great and just needed a clean up and paint,interior . Then I kept getting leads on others so from 1980 to 2000 restored or scrapped 20 or so. Of course we stripped all the trim and parts off them . Yours is looking way cool ! love your rims ,have fun bro Galaxies rule,
Good work man! Love it.
It's looking good man, keep it up. Watching your hard work motivates me to tackle my project!
Keep up the good work.
I love your work Congratulations from Mexico
Towncar content is my fave...lol
Let me tell you how many times I have had to do the same thing outside with the fan
Keep up the hard work. It could pay for the next project I've how much your have been learning. Good job
I completely understand your upload situation, I’m working on my 1966 mustang and trying to get that done but I’m not old enough to drive let alone get a job, that car runs off of money I get from cutting grass and chores, so I understand how expensive it is to make video so just try your best
you can always do things for money being under 16...i worked on a farm starting at 11-12,cut grass,picked stones,weed eating,snow shoveling,delivering papers. just be creative ,older people always need help too!! you are definetly lucky having a 66 mustang,i had a vw bug when i was 14 but destroyed it off roading (it was a baja bug)
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 yeah I didn’t say it in the other comment but my grandpa owns a bus garage and he and my dad work on buses for the local school so I help out where I can and I help my grandparents as much as I can by weed- eating, cutting grass, and so on and so forth
dont explain your content brother! just keep doin what you do, its worked so far
Kool bro. That will work. You Rock.
With the heim joints I've been there many, many times.
Always endeavor to persevere!
you should do a chassis strengthening kit on the Galaxie
Mate , do what u can , when u can , with what u can afford , dont go leavn yourself broke as i think most people would understand most students dont have a hugh bank account , thx for the vids
I think a shout-out to your parents for letting you own and work on all of the Ford projects that you’ve done.👍👍
I have been following your channel and watching every video since the open headers at high school video I’ve got to say there’s not a bad one
If you want to protect hot rodding in your state CA. Get all your friends to vote for Larry Elder for GOV. Thanks
Should take a off-road trip with the town car and the the super cap ford
Keep up the great job u are doing
Yeah, some hand fitting required, and that's BEFORE you see how it doesn't fit the car you bought it for. I've had to do all kinds of hand fitting on a belly button hotrod like a Camaro, you and I are finding out how much fun it is on a 64 Galaxie with an FE engine.
I like the small tricks and tips and the sick rides you’ve had, but I do miss the pre runner chevy
I can't imagine how hard it is to start a channel. I've thinking about doing 1, have a lot of good ideas. Trying to get the motivation to learn the editing and other technical aspects of it.
you need a serious computer,then you need serious editing skills,then you need to create content worth editing ...time to get started,you could be the next mr beast
Always use oil too cut new threads Also add coil springs to your shocks
hurp a durp
The other side of the air hammered area lost all its paint/rust protection in the process. If you don't want that to start rusting tomorrow you should repaint with a wand. KBS cavity coating cans come with one.
I’m just here for a good time my friend you do you brother
1 of the few fords i like cuz they have frames.
Hammered!
That 4 link kit is probably from China got to be really careful what you buy and who you buy from on eBay but just remember that moving the rear-ended housing back makes your drive shaft short
Okay I started watching your channel because it was good and interesting and for the same reason I subscribed don't apologize to me I'm happy to follow your builds and rebuilds just as they are and for any grippers out there if you don't like it then get off your duff and build you own the way you think it should be or send him plenty of money but I do believe if he even took your money he would do it his was anyway you do realize there are two kinds of criticism ! Constructive and then there's destructive then there is also a little thing called suggestion Any way Craig I like following you channel and hard work thanks for the good video's I also like how you friends get together reminds me of my buddies back in the day and the variety is enjoyable so wrench on my brother wrench on!
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you
Not first....
My Hats off to you youngsta your doing a great job for what u have to work with im getting ready to cut my 64 gal. Throwing all my leafs away except one. Putting hydros in mine it should lay hard.. just one dump for front one in the rear no corners or id need tge 4 link too spendy for low an slow. Admire your work. Looks almosr lije you could have just made ur own? for what ur going through
Thank you for saying that when I was younger that is what I would do and the hell with you All it's mine
I restored a 72 Camaro ground up years ago, Now I have a 64 Galaxie to work on, I enjoy watching your work that your doing on your 64's. Seeing what you've done, is giving me ideals for my 64. Is there any way that I can see the project from the start,
Yeah the 2 things I dislike about cars is getting dirt under my fingernails and can’t get the shit out, and every time I burn myself on a header.
Honestly just don't enjoy watching town car but I do like the foxbody stuff
Might be able to clean up the threads w a welding tip cleaner..
It's all good creig .your doing great. You should sell the town car .no worries
The longer bars are your upper triangulated bars. Short bars are the lower ones
Get you some thread files for those bad threads, dude
You got any tips for restoring a car and getting one pretty cheap to start off with I'm looking for a 64-68 mustang and do it on a budget I want to make a restomod/track car for me and my father so you got any ideas really need some help? Love the Galaxie build and the f100 build keep up the good work.
Hi I’m a little new to your channel but i originally found you from your nascar f100 videos. Do you have any newer videos or ideas for the truck or do you no longer have it?
What are you majoring in ?
Is this the car you made the wheelhouse over in? Maybe it was the other car
