Mr. Sleeperdude! A word of caution. Just in the intro here. I see you are using heat to remove the worms from your driveshaft. Please use caution. Sometimes it will get hot enough to ignite the grease in the u joint. Those caps will fly out like a bullet. Could easily cause severe damage to your shop or worse, a person. I had it happen to me twice. One exited the shop roof where I worked. The other ricochet shot took out a window and interior damage in a shop truck. Please use caution. I started using V blocks on the floor, and heating both sides of the bottom cap. If it blows out, it will hit the floor first, have less energy if it flies. Thank you for another great video. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I know I already commented on this episode but I just wanted to say that this episode is in my top ten favorites. The joy y’all get out of a really good result from lots of hard work (much of which we don’t even see or the episode would be hours long)is so contagious. Watching y’all drive the Galaxie the first time just warmed my heart. The way y’all come across makes me feel part of it and I thank you for sharing your lives with us. I’m disabled now and 53 years old so my life isn’t quite as exciting as it once was so y’all add a lot of “color” to a sometime mundane existence. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
This car sold for $3,052 new & now averages for $40,000.00. Finish the interior, repaint original color, re-chrome the bumpers and sell it for money to keep buying more like it. I do remember how bad this car was when you got it and nothing worked. It is so awesome now. Yall did a fantastic job.
This is Bob LD's husband. I'm old enough to remember the clear plastic seat covers in cars. My dad had those, and I found out the hard way do not slide across the sear cover, and then touch metal! A shocking experience! I love the plastic on the front seats lol.
Yeah my brother just had a Spinal cord stroke something I've never heard of and it's not you know really good chance of survival from it especially to get where you can walk and stuff and then and he's doing pretty good I meanhe surprises all of us you know he's a go get her we've been working on as a 2006 Corvette got it all back together next day he had that stroke and now I can't even drive the car though you know so I took him for a ride in it the other day and I kind of got it a little even with an efforttorture me into the passenger seat so I tortured him a little bit in the passenger seat he loved it though And I really hope you get better I pray every day that my brother just surprised me and comes walking app on my porch and no one aint gonna be that easy but I pray everyday it does he'll get through it I'm pretty sure he will like I say he's always been to go get her United States marine lost his hand over nom never let that bother still grabs motorcycles builds car engines everything I mean it's amazing At what he does with just one hand way he turns wrenches way he drives and rides it's crazy but he was always the greatest that's doing stuff like that my idol I guess you could say how my day that dad when I was just a little kid the hot rods motorcycles those are those are my big things in life see I'll keep up the good work and I hope you get better sir have a good 1
My older sister Kerry suffered a stroke in November 2023. She's 68. She's doing better, but still paralyzed on her right side. Hang in there, brother. One little step at a time. I'll be praying for you for a full recovery. God bless you 🙏
Love the Children talking about smells when you came home from work. At 16 years old when I started my appreciation in a motorcycle workshop, my Mother would say she knew I was home before she saw me because she could smell petrol and oil in the house. Another great video. God bless you all Sleeperdude Family.
I have seen every video since you brought the Ford wagon home and have been enjoying the transformation of this American classic. Seeing the kid's involvement in the process has been very gratifying and the smiles on their faces after every victory with the car just melts your heart. You and Tosh are awesome parents, and you can see the love you have for your kids and the love they have for you.
So happy to see the wagon back on the channel again. The anxiety is almost overwhelming to see it completed lol. You guys are killing it. (Figuratively)
The amount of work to restore this vehicle to a legal driver, as well as the time taken in producing the video series is nothing short of incredible. Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Hey. My husband's birthday is coming up soon, and I wanted to surprise him with a lovely sqeezey painting, but I didn't see but one on the website (santa claus). I know that these aren't mass produced (which is what makes them so precious), but are you going to be listing anymore of her paintings on the website? I will have to keep checking back for the perfect one and try to be quick about ordering one. To squeezey....you have a God given talent for art and I hope that you continue to cultivate it and use it for Jesus.
Paintings are random and varied . Its Whatever Squeezy decides to paint. The website paintings are just for reference. I bought one today. Who knows what I received , but I know it will be lovely.
Good Lord All Mighty, I Needed a 2 Hour SleeperDude & Family Vidja to Watch. I Got My Squeezey Original Painting in the Mail & About to Open While I Watch. Killin’ what time while the wife is with the Daughter-in-Law and Son for the birth of our second Grandson Gettysburg, PA. Expecting the call anytime now. I Digress, appreciate you having Us along, I’ll Catch You Folk’s on the Next One. Keep It Safe Out There
Hey, guys, great Dad and family. The impact screwdriver is spring loaded has to be pushed in and TURNED IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT at the same time of impact. The hit then jolts the screw loose with the mechanism inside of it.
@Sleeperdude, don't know if y'all have ever watched Mustie1 on TH-cam (with all your spare time), but that's what he always does and it works really great and is very neat looking. John here, from the back-road of Northeastern Tennessee.
By far one of the best builds you have done. Once the back seats are covered and the rest of the interior complete, she'll shine! Definitely a show stopper. I love it Josh!
By the time Ralph is sixteen he will be one fine mechanic. For his age he is great now and has a great work ethic. WaWa is right there with him. Josh you guys have done a great job raising your kids. I wish people would watch your videos just to learn how to raise kids.
Seeing Wa-Wa's face every time daddy stepped on the wagon going into 3rd gear was friggin awesome!! She is so gorgeous when she is smiling!!! but seeing her eyes and smile come to life as daddy is shifting and punchin it is awesome!! Get that permit Wa-Wa as i want to see you teaching momma to drive LOL Love yall and the journey your taking!
I just watched this a second time and Josh,you kill me,in a good way.Marge driving and you say....oh my poor yard...you driving and you say,moms gonna kill me,LOOL!!Love the whole thing.Y'all are ALL FANTASTIC!!!
I actually ordered a light blue dash and glove box door from OPGI for my 1965 Oldsmobile 442, I received the glove box door within a month and then I started getting emails saying the dash pad was backordered and asking if I would like to cancel the order every time I got an email which was approximately once a month I said no I wanted to keep the order they literally sent me a notification two years and one day after I ordered it that it had arrived in stock and asked if I still wanted it! I said yes and they had to ship it at the price that was listed two years ago with free shipping because that was the conditions under which I ordered it. I don’t think they were happy but two years and three weeks after I ordered it, I finally got the dash for my car.
I learned a trick about putting holes in automotive carpet. I heard that you can heat an awl… so I used my soldering iron, found the holes in the floor and melted the carpet with the soldering iron for the holes. It worked great… just be careful where you lay the soldering iron down at.
That Whine is the Diff. "Have you checked yore rear end" 🤣 The best way to put holes in the carpet is to use a soldering iron. It makes the perfect hole and melts the thread stopping it from ever pulling a thread. loved this episode.
I just love that wagon. My dad had a 67 Ford Wagon that was my first car that i drove around. Without him knowing. Keep up the great content. I watch all your builds and this is my favorite of all.
Station wagons are starting to show up far more often than before at car shows. You've put a ton of work into this one and a decent paint job would really make this car stand out. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear about the loss of four folks y'all know. It's a good thing you got that truck going before. This is why we gotta be so careful to do it while they're living. We don't always get extra chances to do things for good people. Great video from great people, once again.
That old car sounds good . Your family have built yourself a family car to be proud of . Hope fully someday you all can take that one on a family adventure.
I recommend using the hot punch trick to clear the bolt holes in the carpeting. You won't have to worry about runs in the carpet from the drill bit or uneven holes from a knife.
Bringin' the Galaxy's back to life! This is coming along so great 👍 Edit: The board you need for the doors is called masonite. Fairly cheap and waterproof.
It's been so cool to watch this transformation from saving her from the junkyard to now. My daughter was the lucky recipient of one of squeeze's purple flower paintings, the smile on her face was a mile wide. Thanks for everything!
DD Speedshop made his own door panels for his Nomad SW. Turned out great at very low cost. Worth a look IMHO. BTW, other YT shop kids are getting 3-D printers. Your kids are smart enough to print you new armrests and tail lights.
AHA!!!!!!!!!! ANOTHER AWESOME MOVIE from my favorite people! LOVE Y'all!! Can't wait to watch, but can't just now. BUSY SHOP!!!!! Ol' me here at Thrif-T body & paint in WY
I love the way the exhaust sounds. There is peace and serenity in a mild built pushrod ford v8 that hits a good exhaust note. Proof that you don't have to have 600+ HP to enjoy yourself. I can't wait to see it when you get it finished.
@Sleeperdude I would recommend also using the Boom Mat on the ceilings in your builds. It will reduce noise and heat almost as much as doing floors does. Love you guys and hope to see your family continue being blessed.
Glad to see the Ol' girl brought back to life! But she is screaming for some steelies and moons! You guys are like me and my wife in so many ways. We both have a pet named Rocky, I love Crocs my wife does flops, I love Vienyas and RCs and my wife don'tYou can tell be both from the Country😅 Can't wait to get to meet you guys some day, I know it will be an honor! Oh yeah and you may find it helpful to try and use Masonite or quartboard for those panels. Just a FYI
I love your Galaxie Wagon. It looks great and sounds so good. Great work on your floor and all the mat insulation. The carpet that you have so far looks great. I so enjoy watching your family build your cars and trucks. Keep the awesome videos coming. God bless you all. May your weekend be blessed as well.
Yeah, Squeezey should be selling her art to save up for HER first car! She'll be needing one sooner than you think! I wonder what she'll choose??@@Sleeperdude
My dad used to call them over barrels. Instead of coveralls. I'm not sure if that was because that's what he thought they were as a kid or because some of us guys have barrels in the middle. LOL
My dad used one of those impact drivers. I'm an Aircraft mechanic and we have a screw knocker that sits on the end of a rivet gun with a handle on the side. Also use valve grinding compound on screw to help from stripping them.
That outfit and hat Ralphie is wearing,then SleeperDude is twinning with him had me grinning. Raphie he is such a cute kid! Especially when he did the Skeet Skeet promo for Sweet Patina. I will have to buy some. Don't know why I need it, just that Ralphie told me to buy it. You all should get the same coveralls and wear the same shirt when you go to a Car Show, it would be so cool to see! The family vibes you all put out are strong, makes me miss raising my 2 Boyz so much. This car is close to one we had when I was a kid. We had a Vista Cruiser as well. I remember riding in the 'back back' as we called it, in the backward facing seat. Cars back then were made to last. Keep em all, they ain't making no more!
Love your show, my husband 65, and myself 57. He used to wrench on vehicles here in Minnesota, and now he's living vicariously thru all of you❤❤❤Momma Sleeper Dude keep up the great job. You make me laugh so much... thank you. The kids are awesome as well, and Squeez keep on painting💚💚💚
I just noticed last night that Wawa's blue beetle makes a brief appearance in the 1979 horror movie Phantasm ( one that is identical to hers). That movie is already famous to car buffs because of the cool black 71 Hemi Cuda the main characters drive.
Great video! One thing about those old Fords is so much of the hardware is the same for all the models. Some of the Falcons you have will have many of the odd clips and window hardware you need. ;)
The FORD Country Squire Wagons really were the Conestoga Wagons of the 1960's and 1970's. They took families across town and across the country. Thanks so much for rescuing this one! You all did a excellent job installing the new floor pan and fixing the door latches as well as the 5 speed tremec/hyd. clutch install and fabrication. WaWa and Ralphie did a great job on sanding down the welds--Squeezie art work is really good, the wife's camera work is very good also.
I'm restoring a 62 falcon. Those clock springs in the latches are hard to come by. I found latch springs for like a 30s Ford! On eBay and with some slight modifications (had to file the center slot wider) and boom latches are better than new.
On your ultrasonic cleaner take an old sheet pan/cookie sheet to use as a lid. You can cut holes where you need to let parts stick through that don’t fit. This way you lose less heat and fluid to evaporation. I buy up sheet pans and pie pans at garage sales for like fiddy cents (or less)whenever I see them they make great parts trays also. Looking forward to seeing more on this wagon; my dad was a Ford guy so when the family got big enough to make muscle cars impractical he bought one of these new in ‘64, ours was black.
😊You should be able to put a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood in there and have the tailgate closed, I believe that's why the seats work the way they do.jost sharing from experience.
Bruh, I dig that car so much but can't stand the front and rear wheels not matching. I love that fact that you all are doing the build on this from floor pans to carpets, Not many videos out there showing all that work, I really appreciate that! Great work!
You should get your artist a big flat panel van and paint it with chalkboard paint... (yes they make chalkboard paint you can draw on. Then it rains and a fresh canvas😊)
Dude! How can you make this car go from sitting in the junk yard, to 😮 OH MY GOD, I want that car!!?? You're awesome man! I wish I knew you, we'd go find me a '71 Chevelle SS! I used to have one back in '82, I still miss that car today!!!
A lot of the window felts and rubber seals can be bought in bulk from an auto glass shop. You might find damaged rust free doors for the parts you need. I believe door cards from any 64 galaxie 4 dr should fit. I bet there are plenty of people with parts you need just laying around.
I reached out to Bendpak about a brake lathe for them. I think they have tire machines too. Maybe if enough of us reach out they will sponsor Sleeperdude for some equipment. They are the ones that Junkyardigs got his brake lathe from.

T Shirt said it all when Mrs SD planed the driveway.Perfect land yacht.

Thanks for watching!
I love that you like the old station wagons. They are the ultimate family rig and this baby will really get up a go!
You can also heat up a metal spike to mark the holes through the carpet.. It will basically just melt a hole
I worked in an auto upholstery shop and that's what we did. We had butane soldering guns that had different tips for solder or welding plastic etc.
I heated up a bolt and it works well
I use an old soldering iron just for carpet installation...works great
Hey, guys, great Dad and family. The impact screwdriver is spring loaded has to be pushed in and TURNED IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT at the same time of impact. The hit then jolts the screw loose with the mechanism inside of it.
Use a soldering iron with a pointed tip to put seat and pedal holes in new carpet. Melts the holes so you don't have cuts or carpet strands come out
I thought about doing something like that. Good idea

The fabric on the door rods were to prevent vibration
Right, it's a coarse fabric tube that slides over the rods so they don't rattle against the door structure.

Oh man i just love the look of the old station wagons, for sure watching this over lunch
Thank you 😊
"What's that dog doin?" That got me good. 😆Every once in a while, Josh will say something that cracks me up so bad.
Your ears must have been burning, my wife and I were just talking about a new video post coming soon. Love your channel, keep up the good content
Thanks! Will do!
@Sleeperdude I would recommend also using the Boom Mat on the ceilings in your builds. It will reduce noise and heat almost as much as doing floors does. Love you guys and hope to see your family continue being blessed.
Yeah that would be good
Glad to see the Ol' girl brought back to life! But she is screaming for some steelies and moons! You guys are like me and my wife in so many ways. We both have a pet named Rocky, I love Crocs my wife does flops, I love Vienyas and RCs and my wife don'tYou can tell be both from the Country😅 Can't wait to get to meet you guys some day, I know it will be an honor! Oh yeah and you may find it helpful to try and use Masonite or quartboard for those panels. Just a FYI
Ok thank you
I love your Galaxie Wagon. It looks great and sounds so good. Great work on your floor and all the mat insulation. The carpet that you have so far looks great. I so enjoy watching your family build your cars and trucks. Keep the awesome videos coming. God bless you all. May your weekend be blessed as well.
Thanks so much!
Sunflower in the moonlight? Nice one, Squeezey!
👍👍👍
Yeah, Squeezey should be selling her art to save up for HER first car! She'll be needing one sooner than you think! I wonder what she'll choose??@@Sleeperdude
Everyone is So TALENTED 😎💯 Ralphie's creation of a tractor needs to be expanded and put up for sale !! That car is turning out quite the ripper .
I wish Josh would be honest; he doesn’t actually know any of your names. He’s just doing his best.
It’s the thought that counts.
For sure
As a former paint and body guy, if it was something I wasn't familiar with I found it helpful to take pictures
My dad used to call them over barrels. Instead of coveralls. I'm not sure if that was because that's what he thought they were as a kid or because some of us guys have barrels in the middle. LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 why get a 6 pack when you can have the hole keg 😂😂
Love it! Full size Ford with a manual transmission and the exhaust sounds awesome !
Thank you
Ralphie still got his hat in love it
Thank you
My dad used one of those impact drivers. I'm an Aircraft mechanic and we have a screw knocker that sits on the end of a rivet gun with a handle on the side. Also use valve grinding compound on screw to help from stripping them.
That outfit and hat Ralphie is wearing,then SleeperDude is twinning with him had me grinning. Raphie he is such a cute kid! Especially when he did the Skeet Skeet promo for Sweet Patina. I will have to buy some. Don't know why I need it, just that Ralphie told me to buy it. You all should get the same coveralls and wear the same shirt when you go to a Car Show, it would be so cool to see! The family vibes you all put out are strong, makes me miss raising my 2 Boyz so much. This car is close to one we had when I was a kid. We had a Vista Cruiser as well. I remember riding in the 'back back' as we called it, in the backward facing seat. Cars back then were made to last. Keep em all, they ain't making no more!
Love your show, my husband 65, and myself 57. He used to wrench on vehicles here in Minnesota, and now he's living vicariously thru all of you❤❤❤Momma Sleeper Dude keep up the great job. You make me laugh so much... thank you. The kids are awesome as well, and Squeez keep on painting💚💚💚
Thank you I’m glad you like it
9:07 - yep, restoration is all about labeling parts
👍👍👍
Yes exactly, if you have no patience, restoration isn't going to be your thing...
Dude, this thing brings a huge smile to my face. Loving the stance on this Galaxie Wagon.
Thank you
In the future, you can heat up a cheap old screwdriver and push up through the holes to give yourself a clean fray-free look.
Yeah good tip
Classic station wagons are some of the coolest vehicles ever designed and they still have a lot of practicality still today for daily use and fun.
Very true
I just noticed last night that Wawa's blue beetle makes a brief appearance in the 1979 horror movie Phantasm ( one that is identical to hers). That movie is already famous to car buffs because of the cool black 71 Hemi Cuda the main characters drive.
😳
Thats a '74 Superbeetle. Wawa's is a '71.
So sorry for all of your losses. I will pray for your family and there’s as well. Be blessed. Love your channel. It’s the absolute best one on TH-cam.
Thank you
Great video! One thing about those old Fords is so much of the hardware is the same for all the models. Some of the Falcons you have will have many of the odd clips and window hardware you need. ;)
The FORD Country Squire Wagons really were the Conestoga Wagons of the 1960's and 1970's. They took families across town and across the country. Thanks so much for rescuing this one! You all did a excellent job installing the new floor pan and fixing the door latches as well as the 5 speed tremec/hyd. clutch install and fabrication. WaWa and Ralphie did a great job on sanding down the welds--Squeezie art work is really good, the wife's camera work is very good also.
I'm restoring a 62 falcon. Those clock springs in the latches are hard to come by. I found latch springs for like a 30s Ford! On eBay and with some slight modifications (had to file the center slot wider) and boom latches are better than new.
Another awesome video from Sleeper Dude! You all are the best family channel on TH-cam. Keep em coming guys!😊
Thanks! Will do!
On your ultrasonic cleaner take an old sheet pan/cookie sheet to use as a lid. You can cut holes where you need to let parts stick through that don’t fit. This way you lose less heat and fluid to evaporation. I buy up sheet pans and pie pans at garage sales for like fiddy cents (or less)whenever I see them they make great parts trays also. Looking forward to seeing more on this wagon; my dad was a Ford guy so when the family got big enough to make muscle cars impractical he bought one of these new in ‘64, ours was black.
These are the good old days, so precious doing all this with your family! Love you guys! You are such a blessing to this old man.
😊You should be able to put a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood in there and have the tailgate closed, I believe that's why the seats work the way they do.jost sharing from experience.
Probably so
Bruh, I dig that car so much but can't stand the front and rear wheels not matching. I love that fact that you all are doing the build on this from floor pans to carpets, Not many videos out there showing all that work, I really appreciate that! Great work!
You should get your artist a big flat panel van and paint it with chalkboard paint... (yes they make chalkboard paint you can draw on. Then it rains and a fresh canvas😊)
Yeah that would be cool
I think a squeeze mural would be impeccable!
First car I think I’ve seen y’all work on that didn’t have road signs to cover the holes in the floor! Lookin good!
Yeah for sure
Yes, he's losing it or something. 😅
The new hat looks good on ralphie
Yes he loves it
Dude! How can you make this car go from sitting in the junk yard, to 😮 OH MY GOD, I want that car!!?? You're awesome man! I wish I knew you, we'd go find me a '71 Chevelle SS! I used to have one back in '82, I still miss that car today!!!
Thank you
Those are nice breaks. My old sign shop had 2 of those east wood ones. The only thing they could have is an angle gauge on the side
Awesome thanks
A lot of the window felts and rubber seals can be bought in bulk from an auto glass shop. You might find damaged rust free doors for the parts you need. I believe door cards from any 64 galaxie 4 dr should fit. I bet there are plenty of people with parts you need just laying around.
So when do you think we will see you do A full restoration on a car. Even a paint job.
Thats what I would love to see.
Yeah we plan to paint Ralphie corvette soon
When I was a child, we had a 64 Country Squire wagon!
So cool
Cool metal break! You should hit Eastwood up for a tire machine next. 🙃😬
I reached out to Bendpak about a brake lathe for them. I think they have tire machines too. Maybe if enough of us reach out they will sponsor Sleeperdude for some equipment. They are the ones that Junkyardigs got his brake lathe from.
@@JNygaard great idea. I’m on it.
Tickles me to see Wa smile when you mash down on the go pedal.
