Simon says: I’ll fix the gear selector. Then, no crowsfoot wrench? I’ll make one. Then, I found the problem and it’s inside the transmission, so I’ll open up an automatic transmission while lying on my back under the car. Found an internal part is worn because of 62 years of use. So I use a welder to fix it. All done! An unbelievably great video! Well done, Simon.
This guy is the Mac Gyver of the car world, he can rebuild a whole car with a paper clip.😂 Good job sir!! And thank you for the entertainment. This is what we like to watch..
You must have been brought up around a dad, uncle, or grandfather to have these, for lack of a better term, ‘old school’ , skills. This is what common sense looks like. I am so impressed. I’m 67 y/o and would work on my things this way because I paid attention to older guys doing repairs when I was younger. Kudos to you. Thumbs up 👍🏼
Dig your style, Simon. You are a refreshing oasis in a desert of YT producers who LOVE to hear themselves talk. Much respect from Santa Cruz, California.
lol,,, my uncle a old school body man straightened out my front bumper on my 65 Riviera with a 4x4 and a 40 pound sledgehammer! lol And it came out great
Simon, your videos are the best. No music, silly dialog etc. your skills are unquestionable. Incredibly therapeutic and dear i say it intoxicating watching you take broken machined and bring them back to life. Keep up the the great work. Best wishes from the Scottish Borders! Cant wait for your next therapy session.
We put two men on the moon in 1969, and the SR-71 was announced in 1964 and had already been delivered and built. We’ve had incredible technology since WWII. The 60’s aren’t THAT far away, right?…..RIGHT!?!!!?
I drove a '62 Galaxie 500 (2 door) from 67 to 70. I drove it to school as a 17 year old. It was such a good reliable and comfortable car. Very happy to see you bring to back. I'm '73 years old now and cheering you along. Thanks for being the mechanic I always wanted to be.
Thanks for another video Simon. The way your photographer skills are plus silence of the video except the turning of a wrench, PB blast spray or an adjustable wrench. Therapy! ❤🎉
"No wood was harmed in the making of this video." This was a pleasure to watch Simon, keep it up. Your style of mechanic stuff helps me stay sane in the garage working on my projects.

Oh boy! The Galaxie 500-!! A brake cylinder which gets back in its plastic bag and back into its parts box. Tires which jump back onto the Galaxie 500 without human help. It's them small thangs... Most impressive feat of repair: diagnosing the problem with the transmission, and fixing it with a spot weld! Thanks for your channel!
Mechanic, Engineer, Movie Producer and Film Editor! What a talented young man :-) What a wonderful feeling it must be to have the skills and knowledge to resurrect these vehicles and make them useful again. Good for you! That's a sweet car too!!! Your love for animals also scores extra points with me.
Simon, you so young, bringing to life the cars of your grandparents, man, this is priceless, there is no money that paid memories of past generations, you are the best of the best, receive my hug, you have all my respect, I see your videos here in BRAZIL 🇧🇷.
Am I the only one who gets satisfaction from seeing the automatic transmission fluid keeping all the internal components clean and shiny after all those years?
Nope, I enjoyed it too. Unless it was replaced at some point, it’s remarkable how clean it was inside. Even though it’s protected from damage it was still surprising considering how many similar parts of this very old car had serious issues.
This has become my go to channel in the last few weeks. I feel a kinship as I work all day on my houseboat so also covered in rust and oil. When it's time to relax after that I put a Simon Fordman video on and kick back with dinner
My father bought this model in an electric blue colour in 1962. It was a magnificent car with white and blue upholstery. It just floated along. Excellent work and video.
@@harrycallahan9518 He eventually traded it in against a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback. This car was restored in 1996/97. It belonged to the family of a teacher of mine back in grade school. I don’t know what happened to it subsequently.
I gotta tell you, I'm a somewhat seasoned electronics engineer, and when I see this level of tech work on mechanical components and small parts, not sure why but it feels nothing short of magic to me. Specially when it works after put all together again. Amazing.
From my experience, that is the key difference between getting a car driveable in a couple of days vs sinking in the rabbit hole of wire brushing a nut and that becoming in brushing basically the rest of the car And I say that being the leader of doing the never ending process of cleaning everything and never get the car done - period
This is the best car video I've seen and I've seen thousands. I took a long time to watch it from start to finish. I did not want to miss a second of it. First, he starts off with a cool car (convincing me it doesn't have to be a two-door this time). Then he goes in real time, step by step on refreshing it, not perfecting it. I don't know how he knew about that transmission trick. Then he takes his '65 to the key shop proving he's a Galaxie man. There is no annoying music, no talking and trying to be funny. It's real, clever, and informative. I'd like to see the '62 Galaxie on a long trip. Well done!
Thank you for sharing your exceptional cinematography and mechanical talents with us. Where does a man your age gain such knowledge of older vehicles. Truly a pleasure to watch.
Господи, как хорошо что человечество придумало инжектор! С этим карбюратором столько суеты! Ну а видео смотреть одно удовольствие, съемка восхищает. Выглядит как фильм!
Новая серия подъехала) наконец-то))) смотреть одно удовольствие)))) ещё радует, что русские субтитры можно включить, хотя формат данных видео такой, что и без субтитров всё понятно))) лайк однозначно
Great style and amazing '62 Galaxie. I was 14 when they came out and I lusted after one so much. A mechanic down the street had a white 390 - simply beautiful.
This is now my favorite classic vehicle reconditioning channel. I like the depth, cleverness and detail of the automotive work and I also like the camera angles and other cinematic techniques you take the time and effort to utilize. Excellent channel, please keep it up.
What's the real passion here? Clearly Simon has expertise in resourceful repair, and quite a logical and practical approach to it. But the video making is something else. There's an imaginative documentary style here that is really impressive.
Something is seriously wrong with TH-cam I just found this channel and was hooked immediately how can you get millions of views and have only 110 thousand subscribers it was apparent to me in 3 min this is one of the best channels out here
I'm from Russia, and for the first time I came across your TH-cam channel, the way you restore old cars and literally give them a second life is really impressive. As a subscription to such a job. Now you have a subscriber from Russia. Good luck in channel development.
You remind me of my dad he has been a mechanic since 16yrs of age never got anything given to him he always did everything himself never asks for help. Run in the blood now I am a diesel mechanic myself but I like watching videos of cars getting worked on and you definitely hit the nail on the head
I have a beautiful 63 Galaxie 500 sport roof restomod. It feeds the soul, watching you bring this old gem back to life. You have absolutely got the knack, Simon. A salute from Florida.
I love how you do a lot with very little to keep an old bird flying. Very inspiring, and it seems from the comments, the world over. Well done SimonFordMan.
Used to detail cars when I was just out of high school for dealership. It’s a lot of work, but rewarding to see the result. You are very creative and entertaining. Sweet spot, cool cat’s. Blessing to you and your family.
I love it that I can watch a competent hobby car enthusiast recover a classic without nonsense chatter to tolerate. I subscribed and hop to enjoy more in the future
Your content is just amazingly calming and captiving. TH-cam videos these days are over stimulating. I was able to watch your 1h16 video without being bored or wanting to watch something else. You really have something unique
Спасибо за видео Саймон, обожаю смотреть такие замечательные восстановления того автопрома что делали качественно. Сколько лет прошло а двигатель как работает, шепчет!!! Спасибо тебе ты настоящий МАСТЕР своего дела. 🇷🇺
Where did you learn to understand cars so well? I studied at college to be an auto mechanic when I was a teenager, but I learned almost nothing there, a young wind in my head. But thanks to the fact that I was interested in technology and mechanics since childhood, I learned a lot myself. When I bought my first car, a 1987 Subaru Leone Wagon, I was 22 years old. Since then, I have been repairing and servicing my cars myself, it is no longer just an interesting hobby, but a lifestyle.
There is nothing like driving a big warm American car around in the winter time. That nice engine heat is unbeatable. Thank you for a great video, your work is top notch.
I have three 62 Fords in my memory bank. 1st grade, Debbie Stalling's parents had one like this. Burgundy four door hardtop. Next, my Dad bought a four door sedan (rust free faded blue paint) just to get the engine, a 292 I think for his 55 Ford pickup. I took the ps pump from it to put on my 61 Thunderbird. Finally, I was installing satellite receivers in the 1980s and went to a bar in the absolute middle of nowhere on a state highway. The owner had a blue 62 Ford four door sedan parked in the parking lot. The parking lot was absolutely and I mean completely made from beer bottle caps. Thanks for bringing back memories. I do see a 62 Ford occasionally but it is usually a convertible or a two door hardtop.
I already thought the whole car was going to end up in the vacuum cleaner lol. Once again, fantastic camera work and editing. Greetings from Berlin, Germany
Stumbled across your page while searching for some rebuilder sites without all the weird haircuts and endless chatter.. I loved your style, the skateboard your great camera work.. Thank you so much
Love that Galaxy, my stomach turned around when i saw it at first but it came by after the scrubbing of the interior and pressure wash. I would not have guessed that it would come out so nice, i saw one once in deep blue that was a nice combo with all the stainless/chrome, i fell in love instantly.
This is great! I just found this channel on my feed & it's so refreshing to watch someone wirk on their car without all the chatter. I'm definitely a fan.
Complete delight! Your videos are worthy of Oscar! Keep it up! I look at you in Ukraine and it supports it very much. You revive the masterpieces of American cars. They are admirable! Sincerely - your fan!
Exactly something I plan on doing with my grandson now that I finally retired. Nothing flashy, just want something that is all there and ready to clean up and drive. Great video, sat here with my wife. She liked the vacuuming part for some reason, lol!
I want your videos to continue non-stop... every time when I see that the video is close to the end I feel sad... love your videos and your skills... thank you
Simon your a huge inspiration in a cruel and unfair world keep fighting these cars and keep upgrading as you always do. Been binging on your videos and liking everyone of them you a huge TH-cam star and people are starting to recognize your hard work. I know I have even when you post mistakes and frustrating situations you just don't give up and I appreciate that.Have a great day brother.
You turned a what looked like a piece of junk into what is probably the most promising restoration project I've ever seen on YT. You literally fixed a major transmission issue on a car that is over 60 years old like it was a walk in the park. Props to you! You have a lot of promise!
GREAT VIDEO!! When I was 10 years old, my cousin Vic came by our house to show my brother his brand new 64 Galaxie convertible. I remember it like it was yesterday. They let me come for a ride on that summer night in Chicago. I was totally freaked out that the console gear selector lit up the gears. It was gray with red interior.
I’m just amazed in the range of your skill set. You seem young but the knowledge of a seasoned mechanic. You definitely grew up with a wrench in your hand. Love the videos.
i had a 1964 custom 500, which is a stripped galaxie. mine had two options, a 289 v8 and an automatic trans. no radio, no power brakes, no power steering, single speed wipers, i really liked that car. my dad bought a 1967 4 door brand new, i think it cost in the nieghborhood of 3400 bucks. his had a 390 four barrel, power everything, light blue. he drove it until the mid 1980s. great videos man,
Thanks Simon , I came here to get away from nuclear war. awesome job on the transmission! two thumbs up. I wish I had bought that little chevy truck you had, That was a great video also ! I need to get me a welder, Best regards chuck.
ive been enjoying the process . at first i was questioning why you weren't exploring the brakes thoroughly.. checking for leaking wheel cylinders.. but i see its all in good time.. one step at a time. thanks its been one of the best video's ive seen man.. way cool
When I was watching you cleaning that hot rod it struck me that when those cars were designed and built it was done with style and class. Just look at the design on the C pillar. Those cars were designed by people who, whether they knew it or not, were building a car that would still be a beautiful automobile 60 some years later. Total respect for what you do with, to, and for them. And just for the record, your bumper modification technique had me laughing my ass off! Rock on!
Relaxing, fun, and highly entertaining . brings back memories . makes me wonder what happened to the Dodge I had back in 1968, when I was in high school . man, I loved that car . your videos are addicting.
wow Simon your video is superior not only in editing but content, classic galaxie, but the ability and detail that you have , very encouraging and honestly this is like therapy for calming the soul, but at the same time screaming you( the viewer) to get motivated , awesome , thanks
Simon It is truly amazing to watch you do so much with so little. It takes me back a ways. OK, a long ways. Then there is your talent with the videography and editing. This too shows promise for you as a career. Just do me one favor...........VOCs. Don't get them in you. Don't get them on you. You'll thank me when you are 50. Keep up the good work.
The Fact that this is way cheaper than therapy sessions is insane. Thank You!

This channel's videos make me dislike the other car channels with all of the unnecessary talking. GREAT JOB

Silence says more than any talk.

I also thought exactly the same ! Simon is just genius.
This guy is the Mac Gyver of the car world, he can rebuild a whole car with a paper clip.😂 Good job sir!! And thank you for the entertainment. This is what we like to watch..
In the last six decades, one has to wonder how many thousands of unnecessary FMX rebuilds/replacements happened simply from a worn shift quadrant.
Thanks everyone
Thing of it is, he says the shift selector is "fixed," even though his "post-op" testing showed otherwise.

Still amazed how someone designed this transmission in 1962 😮
We put two men on the moon in 1969, and the SR-71 was announced in 1964 and had already been delivered and built. We’ve had incredible technology since WWII. The 60’s aren’t THAT far away, right?…..RIGHT!?!!!?
Yea cause we had just got away from using horse drawn buddies a few years before. smh
I had in my youth a 2 door hardtop with 3 on the tree, a freeway crash survivor. But that 352 ran well. It was a brute.
I grew up in the neighborhood's those guys lived in. Suburbs of Detroit in the 60's. They were all smart and good fellas.
Lots of surplus German engineers and scientists from you-know-what. Why do you think both powers developed so fast?
I drove a '62 Galaxie 500 (2 door) from 67 to 70. I drove it to school as a 17 year old. It was such a good reliable and comfortable car. Very happy to see you bring to back. I'm '73 years old now and cheering you along. Thanks for being the mechanic I always wanted to be.

Спасибо Саймон. Это очень круто, когда золотые руки растут из правильного места. Плюс умная голова.
I kind of envy your ability to put things back together "dirty" - without wirebrushing the hell out of and at least spraypainting them.
Yeah that bugs me how you keep everything old looking. But you make it better!
I think it's mostly a matter of impatience and deadlines.

Респект 🔥 Приятно смотреть на человека с прямыми руками.Успехов,бро👍👍👍
YES FINALLY
This is great! I just found this channel on my feed & it's so refreshing to watch someone wirk on their car without all the chatter. I'm definitely a fan.

Complete delight! Your videos are worthy of Oscar!
Keep it up! I look at you in Ukraine and it supports it very much. You revive the masterpieces of American cars. They are admirable! Sincerely - your fan!
My great-aunt's funeral will have to wait
Exactly something I plan on doing with my grandson now that I finally retired. Nothing flashy, just want something that is all there and ready to clean up and drive. Great video, sat here with my wife. She liked the vacuuming part for some reason, lol!
I want your videos to continue non-stop... every time when I see that the video is close to the end I feel sad... love your videos and your skills... thank you
Watched both episodes with my dad. Amazing work, it kept us talking for the whole videos. Cheers from Brazil
Cheers!
Simon your a huge inspiration in a cruel and unfair world keep fighting these cars and keep upgrading as you always do. Been binging on your videos and liking everyone of them you a huge TH-cam star and people are starting to recognize your hard work. I know I have even when you post mistakes and frustrating situations you just don't give up and I appreciate that.Have a great day brother.
You turned a what looked like a piece of junk into what is probably the most promising restoration project I've ever seen on YT. You literally fixed a major transmission issue on a car that is over 60 years old like it was a walk in the park. Props to you! You have a lot of promise!
Thank you
The stop motion bits were a nice added touch. I'm am continually amazed at your vehicular trouble-shooting skills. Well done.
GREAT VIDEO!! When I was 10 years old, my cousin Vic came by our house to show my brother his brand new 64 Galaxie convertible. I remember it like it was yesterday. They let me come for a ride on that summer night in Chicago. I was totally freaked out that the console gear selector lit up the gears. It was gray with red interior.
I’m just amazed in the range of your skill set. You seem young but the knowledge of a seasoned mechanic. You definitely grew up with a wrench in your hand. Love the videos.
That bumper straightening bit was almost hilarious. Great job. Love that car!
I must say the absence of narration is refreshing. ❤
This young man,is my hero! He can fix most everything! I look forward to the new video’s. Keep’m coming!
i had a 1964 custom 500, which is a stripped galaxie. mine had two options, a 289 v8 and an automatic trans. no radio, no power brakes, no power steering, single speed wipers, i really liked that car. my dad bought a 1967 4 door brand new, i think it cost in the nieghborhood of 3400 bucks. his had a 390 four barrel, power everything, light blue. he drove it until the mid 1980s. great videos man,
The lack of talking adds so much atmosphere! Excellent job of positioning the camera and showing us everything. Top channel.
Thanks Simon , I came here to get away from nuclear war. awesome job on the transmission! two thumbs up. I wish I had bought that little chevy truck you had, That was a great video also ! I need to get me a welder, Best regards chuck.
ive been enjoying the process . at first i was questioning why you weren't exploring the brakes thoroughly.. checking for leaking wheel cylinders.. but i see its all in good time.. one step at a time. thanks its been one of the best video's ive seen man.. way cool
When I was watching you cleaning that hot rod it struck me that when those cars were designed and built it was done with style and class. Just look at the design on the C pillar. Those cars were designed by people who, whether they knew it or not, were building a car that would still be a beautiful automobile 60 some years later. Total respect for what you do with, to, and for them. And just for the record, your bumper modification technique had me laughing my ass off! Rock on!
Dude has achieved such skill that the wheels themselves are put into place!
I’m an old car guy. Love your show and trouble shooting the problem. Stay with the basics.
A 62 Ford Galaxy 500, 4 door hardtop. What a car! She deserves you! It sounds really good. I bet it's fun to drive. Another Great Video. Thank you.
Relaxing, fun, and highly entertaining . brings back memories . makes me wonder what happened to the Dodge I had back in 1968, when I was in high school . man, I loved that car . your videos are addicting.
That's the kind of patina you just can't fake. Love it!
Такого авангардизма ещё не встречал! Варить внутри АКПП - это что-то!. Съёмки камерой очень контрастные и четкие, просто загляденье
wow Simon your video is superior not only in editing but content, classic galaxie, but the ability and detail that you have , very encouraging and honestly this is like therapy for calming the soul, but at the same time screaming you( the viewer) to get motivated , awesome , thanks
Simon
It is truly amazing to watch you do so much with so little. It takes me back a ways. OK, a long ways. Then there is your talent with the videography and editing. This too shows promise for you as a career. Just do me one favor...........VOCs. Don't get them in you. Don't get them on you. You'll thank me when you are 50. Keep up the good work.
