Rev! back in 1993, I was only 25 and I had a 1977 silver Mercury Brougham 4 door Cougar, with an automatic transmission, 4 barrel, 427 cubic inch, 8 cylinder Cleveland engine in it. The only thing was, is that the master cylinder was shot and I just didn’t have $800 to replace it, at the time. So one day, I started the engine and switched the transmission to DRIVE, but I just couldn’t stop the car and I ended up hitting a small fence post, without damaging anything. Its pretty panicking, even when you hit a small post at 5 mph. Lol! By the way, I can’t believe that the new $7,00 condenser didn’t work out and that you had to replace it over again, with the original one. That’s amazing! As à matter of fact, you did a great engine clean up job, on those sticky valves and on that 289 cubic inch motor as well. With that high pressure water hose, the results on the engine looks fabulous. The outside looks pretty clean too around the car, except for that very light surface rust. No major body job is much required on this car, depending on the floor pans and the exhaust system. I guess the moss gave a very good protection to the car, over the years, and on the sheet metal. Lol. As for the paint, let’s face it, it needs a new one. Now all you need to do is to fix those brakes and with a little body sanding, this beautiful Galaxie 500 deserves a brand new paint job, with its original blue color tone on it, as well. Now I’m not saying that it has to be a very expensive paint job, like in some of those Classic American Antique car shows, where you’ll find Ford Galaxies, that are worth $60 000, but im only suggesting that with a new paint job, this will add more value to the vehicle itself. I’m very glad that you’ve gotten that wheel unstuck. Good job and good show, Rev! Keep us posted for more segment footages, on your next TH-cam files. I look forward to it. Please send all my regards to the old man, for me. Thank you! Johnny, Montréal, Canada.
I think the real value is in the 2 doors, but I hope to find some value in this 4 door rig... Thanks for watching Johnny.. the Ole Man said hello in return.
Patina looking perfect for the ol galaxy 500 get them brakes done and go tear up the town hit up an ol burger shack and show off that amazing classic rig for all it's worth great job Rev
Hey Rev. WOW! The Galaxie doesn’t look like the same car. All that cleaning and sanding, degreasing and the linseed oil, tires and wheel covers made a new machine out of her. She’s looking GOOD. Camera survived. Heck of a way to get a preacher to stop talking. Great job on the car sir. My best to the family. Big Al.
My family grew up with those.My Aunt and Uncle had a '67 Galaxie,with a straight 6.My Dad bought a 2-dr LTD w/390,and then a 66,w/289 Custom.I bought a '65 Custom 2-dr 289.I've wanted a '67 since I was a kid,and would love that.as-is.I had a '68 Ford truck w/390 and a patina like your's.I spent an afternoon with Blue Corral wax.It sealed the surface rust and shined paint.
This was a good video. Too bad the Mercury had to give up the tires and wheels. But that 289 sounds great. One of these days your dad is gonna hear word of a Thunderbird CJ 428 sitting in a field. I gotta see that video.
Used to use a product called Danish oil in the carpenter shop at work years ago. Those rags would combust also. Boss made us put old rags in a metal paint can and hammer lid on.
There is a known problem with new purchased points and condenser's .......in the car industry we see more and more of these faulty parts that are being sold at jobber stores ......I bet that old condenser was better made then that new one ever was ..........Just watched a Uncle Tony video with Tony telling his viewers about the new set of points he purchased and why they are faulty .........All the best to you and Nicky -T............cars is looking good
She looks great, Rev! Up here in South Dakota, that beautiful car would be all rusted out. Loved the wheels, for sure. It would be worthy of going to a lot of fun car shows. God Bless!! You done good!
67 ford was one of my favorites , im a car nut myself, i have an all original 72 lincoln continental triple black with 60,000 miles , garaged and mint condition, i truly enjoy watching your bring em back to life videos , awsome job you and nikki T do, my mom recently passed away and i was her caretaker so your videos take my mind off of my sadness now, thank you, and keep up the good work my friend , god bless you xo
The old Ford is lookin spiffy. I've been telling folks about Super Clean since the early 90's when I was a maintenance mechanic for the Mr. Gasket company. We used it on all of our equipment to degrease it before servicing and I use it on my own cars. Where was was your pappy for all this? Love your videos!
Rev, she is a beauty. You have that “Miracle Touch” on transforming ugly ducklings into Swans. I enjoy watching you do your thing with these old cars. Another well done video. 👍🚙
@@RevStoration Oh, I hear ya, Brother! I can't find ANYTHING! So, I sit and watch guys like you bring awesome vehicles (2 door or 4 door) back to life and enjoy EVERY minute of it! Thanks for sharing!
Yep Super Clean does a great job I found that out on my channel too. Well it looks a lot better without moss growing on it. Yes indeed boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits or kerosene works wonders. Thanks for another great video.
Rev, I'd change the oil NOW. Get that stuff out of there. Bearings are very susceptible to grit, and poor oil film quality. Then let it run for a few hours, and change it again. Man, you worked really hard, been there, looks MUCH BETTER!! And thank you, thank you, for putting white wall tires on!! Thats what it came with, and really looks so much better, and the original hubcaps. Fantastic! And even though the brakes aren't working, the brake lights are!! Lol.
@@grantkoeller8911 I wouldn't right off the bat. Too much sludge and crap in there, could plug oil galleries, and run to much junk thru the bearings. Let a good detergent oil run thru it 1st. Then an engine flush for any remaining stuff.
John... I clogged the drain ports on the top side and cleaned the valve area really well... Then I covered it all in new oil... I will drain it now and do a flush... Thanks for watching.
Yeah hey that's a nice car man I have that same problem I was trying to wire came out of the condenser and I couldn't see it would start and backfire took a while to find it that turned out to be a pretty nice car you got
I'd run a couple cans of Berrymans b-12 chemtool in the crankcase and run it for about 20 minutes and drain the oil, if you do, don't be surprised if ya gotta Poke the drain hole cause it will loosen up Alllll kind of Sludge. $3.87 a can at Wally world, been using it for years
@@RevStoration if you ever use it on something with a nice paint job be careful and use a funnel in the Gas tank, it loves to eat paint. And always use in a well ventilated area, fumes are toxic. Have a great day Rev.
Getting the old ford looking sweet. Love the poor man's paint job, the oil always comes through when you apply it to an old ford. Gives it that, let's roll down the hwy look. You guys are awesome. Keep it up with the old fords. You just can't keep them down. 😁👍👍
I love that old body style, but I don't think I could leave it in patina. That old girl deserves paint. Maybe you could try out the Rustoleum roll on paint method.
I think I may pass it along to the next guy and see if he wants to paint her up... The cost to do it correctly would probably price me out from making any money on this rig.
That is one nice looking car the white walls and Hubcap's set it off. I always say just because something is new don't mean its good and rev do the brakes first next time believe me I know I once put the nose of a Chevy caprice through a brick wall doing that. I got ahead of myself. The worst it was my future father in laws car! Take care love to see a new video.
My dad had that exact car in 67-74. Rusted away and fell apart . It was midnight blue. Thanks for the memories. Get it road worthy. It had a 289 ci engine. It's hard keeping old cars in the Chicago area. Lots of salt spray in winter.
Yes right before the oil change, using a engine flush, and then a fresh oil change with diesel 15W40 oil, it has more zinc and additives. Good for old engines!
Dang, that super clean did do good didn't it, I'm going to have to try the stuff out. The rest of the car looks 100% better and it sits and shows well.
Hey...that dad joke offended my mother-in-law...🤣🤣🤣
Haha! That is better than the joke... Thanks for the comment of the day...
Why did the blind man fall into the well?
Because he could not see that well!
Got that 1967 ford galaxie looking sharp and shiney like a new moon
Thanks Chester!
@@RevStoration your welcomd

I think the Galaxie really really really looks good!!!
Melvin... she is going to be a fun one when she stops well.
Looking good thank you for the videos.
Glad you like them!
I like the look with the white steelies. Tight... but those caps are cool too...
Thanks Peter... I like the combo too..
Cleaned up well, brightwork all looks good on that car. Tires and hub caps made the difference

No oxygen... no fire... Thanks for watching Bruce!
What a transformation! Great job on the car and not destroying a camera! lol
Jason.. this car came out really nice with a little work.. I want to get her stopping and the interior cleaned up. Thanks for watching friend.

That is a going to town ride right there

that old Ford cleaned up pretty good I enjoy watching your channel and you and the old man I am a Ford man and love you old Fords
Sweet ride with more to come.
Some Quick-Glo chrome and metal polish coming your way. Works wonders on chrome bumpers and trim. Keep saving 'em!!
I think it would be awesome to shine up the chrome.. Thanks for watching.
The best method to clean glass is a combination of steel wool, Windex, and crumpled newspaper.
I have never used the steel wool on the windows... The chrome however... It shines it up well.
My aunt and uncle bought a new Galaxy 500 with a 390 in 67. It was a copper color
Copper 60's cars was awesome...
...good one, old iron should be back on the highway..lol...stay safe..
Thanks Bob... hopefully it will hit the road before long.
She’s a runner, but not a stopper! Brakes worked when parked, they were like new. Love the channel! PTL!
Just bring a battery and a brick with a strong string...
She looks great, Rev! Up here in South Dakota, that beautiful car would be all rusted out. Loved the wheels, for sure. It would be worthy of going to a lot of fun car shows. God Bless!! You done good!

Thanks and once again I love the name!
True to your word, Safety third. didn't see anything protecting those peepers
safety isn't fun.... no brakes was not safe but it was fearful for sure... Thanks for watching.

He was over at his place working on his rigs... he doesn't mind working on them... washing them is not his favorite thing to do.
Your doing a great job Rev she will be all shiny in no time
Hope it will continue to come around.
Amazing what the white walls and wheel covers do for a car.

owie you knocked me plum on my rear!! lol

Im really glad to see it washed, they dont have to be shiny just clean, great work !
Thanks
Yep. Glass and (in this case four CORRECT) wheel covers makes all the difference. Nice.
So true.. it stands out really well.
She looks GREAT, Rev! I'm not one for four doors but, She's a GALAXIE so, she's got THAT going for her! GREAT JOB!
Im not a four door guy either... but my pocket book is having trouble swinging the 2 door fixer uppers...

Tremendo!! Quedo inpecable con esa patina se ve con mucho caracter es como si dijera. HERE I AM!!! 👍🇵🇷

I'd run a couple cans of Berrymans b-12 chemtool in the crankcase and run it for about 20 minutes and drain the oil, if you do, don't be surprised if ya gotta Poke the drain hole cause it will loosen up Alllll kind of Sludge. $3.87 a can at Wally world, been using it for years
