I love the raycons I have. When I misplace my phone I use it to help locate it. If it pairs I’m within 30 feet of the phone. Saved my bacon a few times
Love some George

Been waiting on this one. Thanks for the 64 video.

I always know when a flexy hose is installed. A tear rolls down my cheek every time someone re-uses an old flexy hose.
You see them headers 😆
😂 Mortske your hatred of flexy hoses spans the cosmos! 😂
The thing I love the most, is team Ralphie & Wawa working on little tasks while Dad's doing the big stuff. Practice is important.
Thank you

Hes 11 yrs old owns a vette, for a reason. Aint no 11 yr can own a car, unless they are mentally able to comprehend the whole picture. And... hes got blood,sweat, tears before. He has spend hard nights at work, and still gets trophys at school. Clark Kent ha ha
Traveled the USA in 71 when I was 7! Awesome station wagon!
Very cool!thank you
Better than anything that was ever on cable.Truly great content
On god!
What a good dad to involve his family in an awesome trade! My dad only yelled at me to keep the flashlight in one place, lol.
You had to mention the flashlight.
Heartwarming seeing the whole family getting in on this video. So good you’re saving these classics. Follower for good here
Thank you
Josh you got a great family
I’m 73 and I love your family. Watching every member getting involved and everyone pulling for the win is hart melting. Mom and dad are roll models for all of us. Your oldest daughter is still an intricate part of the family and not yet in her own world.
I have 2 sons and 9 grandchildren. Im so proud of every one. The family unit is still the most powerful influence for todays morals. I commend your family and hope your example encourages others to follow your lead.
The church basket ball game is just one example of what is important in this world.
Sorry if I’m sounding preachy, but our country needs more family values today more than ever.
GOD Bless from Alaska
I too am a father and grandfather Ron and agree with you 100%. This family is a model of what families should strive for. 👍👍🇨🇦
The family unit is the core of our society and a fatherless home is the deterioration of society.
The picture of Wa Wa getting ready to drop in the motor was great. Before long I predict she will be building them and Squeezie will be racing them.
Your probably right
LOVE wagons. All wagons. #savethewagons You guys are seriously awesome and thank you for all you do for our entertainment. Hope you guys are all doing well! Take care and stay safe!
Yes save the wagons!!!!
@@SleeperdudeI miss my 88 Volvo 740 Turbo Intercooler Wagon. Car was so fun and beautiful. My wife had a 99 Taurus wagon when we met, and I was going to SHO swap it until it rusted bad. And I had an 06 Magnum wagon. Wagons are hard to find and it sucks. My baby is my 80 Z28 but my daily is an 07 Odyssey with 305k miles on it. It's my dadwagon.
@@Sleeperdude Puddins Fab Shop is saving one right now too!
My 64 had a 390 in it. There wasn't that much room in the bay. This is gonna be a nice wagon. I would love to save one.
Silver solder fix that radiator.
Love it how you get the whole family involved. Great job guys.
That needs to be your Drag and drive / Power Tour car so the family can enjoy it
That would be fun
I love the look of success on you guys face when that 302 came to life. Congrats on this one.
Love this channel. What a great American family, having fun, living right. I've got a lot of rolling rust, too. And a cb 350 like yours I've just rebuilt the carbs on, terrorizing the neighborhood with. Much respect.
Right on! Thank you
Nice job by all! LIKE that your wife painted the engine compartment. Anything new added should be painted and use antiseize 😊
It’s awesome how you are showing your kids how to work on stuff. You guys got a good thing going. I’ve been enjoying the content. Thanks.
Love the wagon. You guys are great. Wish i would have had that type of parents growing up that show me how to do things and have fun like your family. God Bless
Thanks for watching!
Been waiting for this GREAT station wagon revival!! That engine looks amazing, I can't wait to see this beast go, go, go 💕
Hope you enjoy it!
She is beautiful aint she!!!!
Great video guys!! I’m 70 and I had to watch Sleeperdude to see a dog drinking coffee. You never know what you can learn from Sleeperdude 😊
You guys have done one fantastic job on this build. Fired on the second try. Sounded really awesome. Family interaction was fabulous. It's always a pleasure and fun to watch you guys work together. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks so much!
DADGUM RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!
Best automotive channel on youtube
Thank you
Mom & Dad are more excited than the kids 😂. Nice sounding motor family 👍💯🇺🇸
I remember when I was a kid in 1973 I worked for a retailer that was similar to Home Depot. I worked in lumbar. A customer came in to pick up a load of lumber and backed his 1963 Ford Country Squire station wagon in for me to assist loading it. He told me this 10 year old car was brand new. It smelled new and the odometer had less than 500 miles on it! He said he bought two identical cars in 1963 and stored one of them. And he just recently had pulled it out of hibernation. I’ll never forget that.
That’s awesome
You go, Tosh! Crackerjack painter, cleaner and now basketball player!!! What more could a man want, Josh!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man that sounds awesome I really get the excitement you all have when a thing you’ve built works and works great
You got that right! Thank you
So rewarding to see this one moving on it's own power! Also good call to paint the engine bay! Congratulations! 😃
The family banter is a joy to watch.
Thank you. We have fun
Thank you for supper content and not cuting videos in 100 separate videos! Keep it up mate! ❤
Glad you like them! Thank you
When saving cars is an entire family hobby. Gotta love it. The sound of that cam thump put a smile on my face. I think this is one of those car builds where everything just comes together like it was meant to be. Cheers!
Thank you. We had fun
😂❤ty I'm from Alabama y'all are a great family ty
this wagon reminds me of the one my mom had, hers was a 64 as well. reminds me of where i was a kid. was her first new car my dad got her. thank you for saving it.
That’s awesome!
Absolutely LOVE Tosh singing Kelly! I sing just like her! 😂😂😂
Okay, I love how Wawa clearly thought you were telling some kind of dad joke with the bread thing.
Yes she did 🤣🤣🤣
That looked so amazing 👍 seeing it outside right before the sunset. Looked and ran . And sounded amazing . 👏
What a great Wagon!!! Back in 1969 I had a 1963 Ford Country Squire Wagon. It drove like a boat, a real soft ride...It had a 352 v8 in it. Fond memories!!!😄
I fell in love with the red Galaxie, and it broke my heart when you sold it. Now when you fired up the 302 in the Galaxy wagon, I'm in love again. ☺
Awesome I’m glad
You and your family are awesome love seeing you guys all working together. My 12 year daughter loves working on the cars with me. Keep the videos coming
Sounds so so amazing! Love the air cleaner and the valve covers also! Good job on painting the engine bay. Good job Sleeperdude mom/wife.
That bread trick is brilliant! It's basically like using a hose to remove a clog!
Yeah I guess so
I love the 64 wagon. Can't wait to see it rollin down the road. I always learn something from your videos. Today, I learned that if you have an eagle threatening your chickens. Call Tosh!!!😂
Right on!
Wonderful team Dude effort! Can't wait to see the family outings in this old classic! Fantastic as always! The best part..those smiles!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@Sleeperdude always...my goal is to hopefully someday buy one of your builds...and have the whole crew autograph it..hoof prints and all!
Now it needs some rust repair and paint and it'll be ready to be the next family truckster. Been waiting a while to see this one running.
Yes!!!
It's awesome to see this thing rocking an awesome 302W and it actually moves and rocks out! Slammer bud!
While my main vehicle these days is a Chevy Bolt EV, This has been my favorite of your vids. I like seeing you all succeed on these. Yeah, I also like the old cars too, LOL.
Wow, thanks!
Well worth the wait, that old wagon sounds awesome. Love seeing the whole family involved in this project and to see the excitement on their faces means the world to us. Would love to see you restore it like grandpa's grocery getter then when you blow their doors off it would be a real sleeper. Awesome video.
That's the plan!
I cant say it enough, its so great to see your family togetherness, and thank you for saving one of my favorite cars, it truly was a blast watching this one.
Best wishes from a Canadian Fan.
Much love.
Al
Thank you so much
Ralphie: "I trust you and all your wiring."
Priceless!
He believes in me
Yea! Congrats on bringing the Battlestar Galaxy back to life. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks for including us in your families adventures
Yes! Just what I needed after the day I've had. Thank you Sleeperdude family!
Our pleasure!
What a great video and sounding car. Would love to watch y’all do some re upholstering of the seats. If they’re salvageable. Great job everybody.
Great to see the old 64 running around the field! As a Ford Wagon guy I am thrilled that you are going to really fix this one up. My brother - in - law had a 1964 Galaxie 500 convertible back in the day, Red with a white convertible top. It had the 352 V8 2 barrel carb and three speed column shifter, no power steering or brakes. He converted it to a Hurst floor shifter due to the column linkages being worn out. I was just a boy Ralphie's age when he owned that car and still remember how he struggled to steer it at slow speed and that the clutch always chattered in reverse. Keep up the great videos and take care guys!
Neat wagon. I had a 63 Country Sedan. Came with a str8 6. Bought a flipped 73 LTD. 351 Windsor c6. Changed it out and loved that rattle can Brown car. Low to the ground 14" tires lol. That was around 1992. Time flies
Awesome thank you
You guys make everything look so easy. Great family video. 💛
Thank you so much 🤗
If we ever found an old wagon like that I would trade our ‘89 Suburban for it. Love this one.
It’s cool
This one is one of the top five on the sleeperdude channel. The expectation and final start are the best!! Y'all know you did real good when people that don't even know y'all are rooting for y'all to be triumphant. Seeing that old wagon ripping around the yard was the best present ever. Can't believe it was almost taken out by the battery because some middle aged man with kids was too excited to think about strapping down the battery before getting all crazy with it in the yard. It turned out so good y'all! Y'all should be very pleased with yourselves. Looking forward to the rest of this one coming back together.
Thank you sir!! We had a blast
@@Sleeperdude The blast y’all have making these directly translates into the blast we have watching. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My favorite TH-cam channel. Your family is the best! A lot of parents should be like you guys.
Thank you
that motor sounds great. I hope you continue to build this one. put some good brakes and redo the interior. that would make a nice family wagon.
That's the plan! Thank you
the cam in there sounds really good, good choice on the air cleaner as well. i'm glad the engine lever made it a bit easier gettin the engine lined up. cant wait to see this one able to be ran down the road.
Thank you
Great to see the big wagon alive again. Love the V8 burble
Thank you
What a great body style. When I was a kid growing up in Oregon there was a country squire wagon just like yours parked at a garbage pile out in the woods. The front end was smashed in. Great family effort. Sound great.
Thank you.
Love the videos Josh always bring a smile to my face when I see a video popup.
Awesome thank you
Outstanding skills and exemplary patience ! What a wonderful family all pitching in and supporting. Do you plan to do some body work and spruce up the interior ? That would make an incredible difference. Thanks for the entertainment !
That's the plan!
Love the old wagons. No large family was without one when I grew up. I just put a roller 302 in my 66 comet yesterday and my 27 year old daughter came by to watch me prime the oiling system. The car hobby has always been a family thing and I enjoy watching yours working together.
Not a better deserved thumbs up for my favorite family. I lived in Alabama growing up and cant count the number of the times we heard the tornado sirens and run for the basement with our pillows. You guys make me miss the south as ive been in NW Montana for 28 years now. Much love guys.
Thank you so much
That's so great guys! I'm glad to see all those hours finally pay off. Well done👍🙂🎉
Thank you we are excited
The motor sounds awesome josh! I love the lopping idle and the headers sound sinister!!! Please put a set of flowmaster 40 series on the galaxy. The headers flowmaster and standard shift is a combo that can't be beat!!!! Props to Squeezy on her riding skills Small block Fords and stationwagons rule!!!!
Tosh thank you for painting the engine bay. Great job for a family project.
I will tell her
I have this weird dream of doing a USA roadtrip in something classic. This would be perfect when it's done. Gonna be a beauty of a car ❤
Yes it would
another quality video guys ... love your face josh when the motor lift dropped a bit quick ... kept your cool ... super sounding motor .. quick pick up ... just love a v8 ... love your usual family help ... hope mike was ok when he fell against the wall ... hows the rv doing ...
Glad you enjoyed it
I love station wagons. That sound of the cam took me way way way back. My daughter was laughing and looked at me weird. She dont nothing bout that. 😂 Remember the old station wagons with the rear facing back seat. It was so cool.
I love the 64 wagon. I have (2) 64 2 dr fastbacks that I’m restoring. I love the way your whole family gets into it. Keep up the good work. Loving it from Georgia
Thank you
Way to go SD family! You got her running and sounding great. Awesome team work! Excellent video as usual!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love watching the whole family help in all the builds. My wife actually loves watching you guys with me and doesn't care for any other channels i watch. Also What's the new knockoff power probe you have?
That is awesome! Kzyee km10 power probe on the Amazon
You kids are so blessed to have parents such as you have👋
Thank you
The family that wrenches together stays together. Awesome!
What an awesome video! All the work y'all put into this one, everyone should be real proud. Great basketball game Tosh, agressive. My sister played like that.
Thanks so much!!
The motor sounds radical. I love the sound of a healthy cam!!! Strap that battery down, fix the brakes, and make a sweet wagon.👍👍👍
Made that ol wagon smile 😊
Awesome video!! So happy to see that wagon running again. So much fun watching you and the family wrenching on vehicles.
Glad you enjoyed it
The highlight of our week is the new videos, makes us laugh and forget about our troubles, love y'all ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
This is what I appreciate. Big engines and turbos are neat but I’d rather watch you guys build this kind of stuff. Have a good day !
I’m glad you like it
Ingenious bit of welding there, shame the whole bar couldn't have been moved over.
Sweet!
Thank you
Wow, that's a great job well done with the family involved. I love wagons. And that wagon sir is bad to the bone. I love how you and the family work and play together. God Bless ❤
When you and the family build an engine, its like 'Laying on of hands'. Love that sound.
That’s funny thank you
So glad you are home teaching your children REAL WORLD stuff.. awesome job..
I'll throw this in too. TDC (Top Dead Center) can be found by using a piece of wire.
You go to the point of the wire stops and starts moving again and go for the middle.
Mark the balancer where the wire quits moving and make another mark when it starts moving again. The center of those two marks is TDC.
Very true
Good job Sleeperdudes, it's a great feeling when your work comes to life its a high that hasn't gotten old in my 60 years.thank you for sharing.
Central California watching
Glad you enjoy it!
I am so glad to finally see that thing moving
Thank you
Love to see more on this rig. Your family is awesome.
More to come!
That was confidence from the misus! "We built that, and it goes". Lol
Thank you
Congratulations on getting the 64 country sedan running. Those are classic cars... I remember them when I was younger and they were newer lol
Thank you. They are nice looking cars
As a machinist, I'm sitting here in awe/amusement on your bread-bolt bushing puller trick.
I can only imagine how many hrs you have into this project car. But it was AWESOME!! That cam sounds sooo good!! 2 1/2"
exhaust pipe, and dump it in front of the rear end. Deep but not too loud sound. Great job Family!!
Yes for sure thank you
Your family makes you rich in life and your kids will tell their kids wonderful stories.❤❤
Thank you
The engine sounds great, but the family fun is as always the best part of the videos. Wonderful family videos.
Thank you
Absolutely love it!!..don't stop on the dragon wagon. Put some sweet hoops on it and paint it Grey or silver. Need to put your paint skills on the show..ty for the content.
Thank you
I about died when you started singing! Perfect commercial!😂💪🏻
