I love that your videos include so much interaction with your family and that you don't gloss over or exclude the problems that one is bound to have when doing something like this. True family entertainment! 👍🇱🇷
Thank you
Eeeds
❤
that's pure love for classic cars, buddy. God bless you.
Thank you
Great to see someone put all the time, money and effort into bringing old cars back to life just to sit and tear it back up I’m the driveway!
Your channel makes me miss those times with my boys when they were little. So valuable, so don't blink too much or you'll wake up and be 45 with adult children.
Thank you
Such a pleasure to see a family enjoy each other's company and work together.
Thank you
Thank you for your videos, you help me and inspire me to get classic vehicles back on the road and nothings dead until its buried
That’s right keep up the good work
"That goat ain't right" - Hank Hill. Great video!
Thank you
It's great to see the Galaxy run again! The 390 sounds strong and the burnout is one of the best on TH-cam. excellent job Sleeperdude Ralfie and rocky.
Thank you
Kids seem to be pulling the candy Hussle when there's a parts store run 😂. Look forward to seeing more on this project. 👍👍👍👍
That’s exactly right ..
My 6yo has figured out that if we go to the parts store, he gets a toy or candy…
@@texan01 i have twin 6 year olds and I know exactly what you mean. Double trouble!
Love working on Old Fords.. working on old ford brakes.. not so much.. Great video!
Thank you
I love your videos include so much interaction with your family and that you dont gloss over or exclude the problems that one is bound to have when doing something like this. True family entertainment and you are a perfect restorer .
Thank you
I have a 1967 Galaxie 500 2 door fastback with a 289, and I did the 390 FE swap. I can tell you that the standard issue I've seen on the water pumps is that the old-timers had overheating issues on those old FE's and that they were constantly filling or fiddling with the radiator or cooling system in general. That's why your fill tank was clogged as well. Typically the more motors you see, you'll see the last two cylinders on the FE's, get more heat saturation. That's why you see a lot of collapsed lifters, bent pushrods, worn valve guides, and sticky valves. Great video.👍
Ok thank you for the info
That is the most ridiculous thing I have read today .
You two are so “cool”. That strap around the drum to hold the puller on/safe is impressive. Love the channel. Merry Christmas y’all.
Thank you so much Merry Christmas 🎁
Hey Brother, great discovery with the Posi Rear!! Every time I replaced an FE engine in my 63 & 64 Galaxies, I pulled the valve covers. If they were covered in sludge (which they always were!), an old timer told me to run 3 qts of kerosene, two quarts of oil and a new filter. Let engine come up to temp, shut down and repeat process. Every time I've done this, when I remove the valve covers, the rockers were spotless.
I HATED those expansion tanks!!! For some reason they always blew out the seams. Couldn't figure out why.
The one engine I've ever seen with clean valve covers ended up dropping a valve on me🙄
Wrong cap, pressure rating too high.
use of paraffin based oils caused alotta problems in the ford big blocks....poor crankcase ventilation...as well
Josh having a really crappy day really depressed I gotta get out of the house and do something but the burn out gave me a 10 mile long smile thank you
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Watching n hearing the car run reminded me the movie Christine. Lol. My dad n uncle were Ford men also. Really would love to see the old cars restored n brought back to life. I enjoy watching you work on them too.
That’s funny thank you
Awesome video. Great seeing the tech and watching that amazing burnout. That was sooo cool to see. Cannot wait to see the evolution of this Galaxie
Thank you
This car sounds like a beast! Glad you made them rear tires round again. Much love from Southern California! Ralphie ducking behind the car when you open sodas has be cracking up. Keep up the good work!
I’m glad you liked it thank you
I have never in my life run into a car full of that much rust inside the brakes. That almost looks like it was sitting in a swamp for years. It's just fun to get old cars to run and drive for the first time in 30 yrs. Thanks for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it yes the brakes were a mess.. it actually was in a junkyard for the last 30 years no swamps .. I think this is how brakes really are on cars that really have been sitting that long.
It's a joy to see these classics come back to life. Thanks and keep on saving these gems.😊
Thank you for watching
Good stuff man. Thanks for spending time with us 🙂
Thanks for watching
A burnout Derek from vice grip garage would be proud of.🇺🇸
Did anyone bring up the fact the orange cat did huge burnout getting away from the Galaxie lol?. That was great laugh.
We saw it in the editing .. it was great thank you
Teaching the next generation how to jump in there and work through a problem while getting your hands dirty. Excellent job sir!
Thank you
Wonderful family. Happy Thanksgiving
Happy thanksgiving to you too
Awesome video man! Nothing like the sound of an old big block Ford with open headers. It really runs darn good and no smoke after sitting all that time. Those brakes were the absolute worst I have ever seen, and I've restored a few cars. I love watching you would and seeing your beautiful family!
Thank you I really appreciate it
I believe that car has been sitting with the wheels buried to the frame in mud or in a flood. With those brake lines caked into the frame, brakes and drums rusted, and the transmission looked like it had water/ mud in it. And the trunk floor rusted out, it adds up to mud/ flood. I love those older model Fords. They will run the stripes off a zebra. I love watching you work on these old cars because I grew up with my grandfather who was a mechanic and I was like Ralphie. I went under them with him and as a kid I could take a motor apart and put it back like new. I'm 77 years old now and still love it. Of course I can't do the work now but sure enjoy watching you do it.
That’s great, thank you for watching
Gotta love your determination. Most people wouldn’t even attempt trying to get this back on the road.
Thank you I appreciate it
Not sure how in the world I found your channel but so glad I did. You, Ralphie and the rest of the crew are top notch. Thank you! Subscribed and liked each video. Looking over your merch. Awesome channel!
I’m glad you found us thank you for watching
It was so fun watching this video and i learn more about hove to fix breaks .
Happy end of the video after all your work .
Great burnout !
Thank you
My Dad had a FORD GALAXY 500. It was red with a black vinyl top. He's been gone since 1988. So i can't ask him any questions about it. And those jump start booster packs are a real life saver. Just remember to leave it in the vehicle that you are driving. For that matter get one for every car you drive.
Yeah that’s a good plan
man peeling that undercoat is so satisfying. So clean underneath. Almost makes you wanna peel it all off, then recoat it
Really enjoyed! Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving 😊👍
Thanks we had a great thanksgiving
Another brilliant video, keep up the great work :)
Thank you
Dude, I clearly recall my Aunt Mary in 1964 getting a brand new red colored Ford Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop...it was beautiful...I was 10 years old and remember this car exactly.
That’s awesome
I'm not a Ford guy but that old 390 is a tire killer!!!!....💯💪🏽
I’m glad you liked it
Love your videos , so entertaining.
I actually learn some things.
You and Vice Grip Garage should get together and do something. Now that would be double entertaining.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
We had ours last month.
We emailed him he hasn’t responded maybe one day 🤔thanks for watching
@@Sleeperdude ok great. Yah hopefully. Keep up your awesome work.
Hope you keeping building on this car, love a galaxy 🤙🏻
Thanks for watching
One more entry won... you're persistent and don't give up easy, it was one problem after another and you didn't give up, hugs from BRAZIL
I try to work thru stuff , thank you
The first car I ever remember my Dad had was a 64 ford Galaxy convertible. I remember seeing those tail lights always backing up the driveway when my father would come home.
That’s cool
I love that car, plus 390’s are a great engine.
Thank you
The 390 sounds excellent awesome score
Ford built some Dynamite stuff
Thanks
When I was about Ralphie's age the neighbors had a 64 Galaxie the same color as yours parked in the alley outside our back fence. I used to sit in it and pretend I was driving all over the place. One day I got out of it and when I slammed the door shut my thumb was in the door. My thumb put the door in a bind and it wouldn't open up. I had to yell and scream for dad to come and get the door open. It ended up breaking my thumb. What was most embarrassing was I was the piano player at our church and I couldn't play with a broken thumb. Everybody in the church and at school found out what I did and deviled the daylights out of me for the stupid thing I had done. Tell Ralphie to not get his finger in the door because it hurts like heck ! You guys are awesome.
That’s a crazy story I will tell him thanks for watching
The Burn was well worth the watch! Ralfie responded like he is still grounded. More Rocky if possible !
Thank you I appreciate it
I am sure that you clean up any antifreeze fluid, It is deadly to farm animals/ pets. loving your vids alot!
Yes we do thank you for watching
Clutch packs in the transmission might be stuck seen it happen once on a demo car, we pulled it backwards with the car in reverse until the clutch pack broke free.
Good to know
"Porin one out for the Homies" cracked me up... Well done Sleeper dude !
I’m glad you liked it thanks
When you pulled the car out of the garage it looked like a crime scene! 🤣
Yes it did
Love that thing you should definitely restore it, also have you sold any of the haul you got a few months ago?
Sold the mustangs
@@Sleeperdude sweet!
Love that car, it sounds great!Awesome burnout🤣 😎✌
Thank you
Ralphie is gonna be a great mechanic. He’s got great dexterity and motor skills.
You should see how he is with wifey when I’m not home he tells her everything to do that’s car/shop related it’s hilarious
@@Sleeperdude so awesome!
Yep,that's the 390.My '64 convertible made me a bucket of money in the days.
That’s cool
Hot damn!
This car is a real hybrid, it burns gas and tyres!🔥🔥💖
That’s right
Anti-freeze always ends up on the floor. Sometimes you see little bubbles of transmission fluid floating on top. Dad had a 1967 Galaxie 500 with an identical water pump. He put about 60,000 miles on it and never had a problem with the water pump. I just love watching these old Ford engines brought back to life. Out west of town in Wadesville, there is a 1966 Ford pickup truck with a 360 engine in it. It is not the original engine. I wish I had the space to bring it back to life. My '55 Chevy has front disc brakes with 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass front spindles. It has an old single-stage Chevrolet brake master cylinder and does just fine with the front disc calipers. I have good, solid pedal. A couple of years ago I had to replace the long brake line that goes across the differential. It had rubbed a hole in the brake line. Ralphie should be out there with you while you are packing those bearings. He is such a fortunate young man. All your kids are! I love that car and wish I had one.
Wow that sounds neat .. yeah he has basketball practice so sometimes he misses on garage time but he is out here a bunch . Thanks for watching
@@Sleeperdude I know he is. Wonder what he will eventually want to have to drive when he gets in high school? If I were him, I would fix that Falcon up with a 289 V-8. Kind of like a Nova but Ford power. Of course, by the time he is in high school who knows how expensive gas will be? Nevertheless, I am sure he is picking things up by osmosis to where he will know what to do when he actually starts turning wrenches. I really like the way he is into detailing the cars like when you guys went on that trip.
Actually, I wonder if he has expressed a preferences of all of the weird vehicles you guys have? I can think of several that would be a lot of fun.
That was me that sent you the new lone wolf 6000 starter switch. lol If you get a good alternator on that rig you can get you power for the choke from the stator post on a Ford. Keep up the good vids!
Ok thank you for sending the gift and thanks for the info
FYI. Vinegar and water 50%/ 50% will eat rust off. I use it when I get an cast iron skillet and it has rust. You just should not leave it on for more then 30 min. Then use a wire brush. If it doesn’t all come off repeat the process. I love your channel. The interaction with your kids is wonderful. You are great parents. There should be more parents like you maybe we wouldn’t have so many problems in the world.
i have a 1964 Galxie 500 aswell and it hasnt been licensed since 1989, i love thris and it just gave me hope for mine!
That’s great keep up the good work .
Brandon, I was born in 66, and my parents had a 64 Galaxy Country Squire station wagon similar to the Country Sedan you have, but we had the wood paneling, AC, ect. Dad traded it in in 71 when I was 5, but I do remember my parents talking about how they had to replace the water pump several times during the 7 yrs they had it.
Ok thanks
my 64 had a 390. Tank City! Great show!
Thank you
Please don't get rid of that car... It is a true treasure... Lon from Ohio....
Yes it is
I had a 63.5 Galaxie500xl in high school… What a car she was!
I had a time with that radiator reservoir..
I had to buy a new/used one to replace it..
It caused my car to run hot once🤦♂️
Love the videos brother!
That’s cool
She's Already got the demo Derby wheels on it ready to head out. NICE BURNOUT
Yes she does thank you
That's so cool that you rescued it! I hope you continue restoring it. Maybe it could be in a museum somewhere someday unless you decide to keep it. One of my relatives had a newer version of this car a long time ago.
Thanks we are going to continue to work on it
If all else fails, you can go to a shop that makes hydraulic hoses of all kinds and they most likely can make you some flexible brake lines. Just make sure to bring all the fittings if you cut the line or broke it.
You might have a limited slip posi diff in that thing. I saw just one wheel spin a couple of times at the beginning and switch back and forth before both locked in. What a burnout!
Make sure you have all that water out of the engine and don't take chances. I saw a guy ruin a fresh rebuild leaving straight water in it. He didn't have antifreeze and he used water. Then it froze that night. Love the car and it really sounds pretty good.
Good idea thank you, I allready drained the water because it got down to 23 last night
So glad you ended up with this car ended up with you. Not many people in the world that are crazy enough to put this much effort, money and time into it.
I've been subscribed for around a year or so now, but the last couple months I've been really getting into your videos, so I figured why not time travel and watch some classics before the new upload
20 degrees in flippy flops. Love it!
That's the same way for me to man. I have to wear my flip flop Year round even in 20 and 30 degree temperatures. My foot outgrew shoes , socks , & boots 35 years ago because i have big very very extremely wide feet that are sz16 6 EEEEEE wide with chubby very fat wide toe that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. It is a extremely wide foot man. I like your comment Tom ! Just curious do you wear flip flops?
@@mackjenkins7721 not for a long time. I got wide feet too. Got to get new shoes stretched wider at journeys when I get new shoes. Used to wear sandals. Switched to water shoes cause it just felt right.
@@tomdavidson3826 oh okay. Oh you got wide feet too. Just curious wide is your foot? My best friend he is a lil chubby & have wide feet too but not as wide as mine but he do have chubby toes though & I'm just the opposite I'm a big chubby dude with chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across. My buddy has a sign made up in his house saying ( welcome to the wide foot Club ) it's funny cuz I have five boys and all five of my boys have very wide feet except for my 3th son John who has a very very extremely wide foot like mine. He's only 12 years old with a sz13 4 EEEE wide with big toe that are equally straight across. He's already having problems with shoes and socks crushing and hurting his toes so he pretty much just sticks with his flip-flops cuz they are more comfortable to wear. My 12 year-old feet are bigger than my 1th son who 26 year-old with a sz 12. I wish I could fit into a pair of shoes. I take it your foot it's not that extremely wide. I can't even find a water shoe that's wide enough to fit me. I'm 95% of the time barefooted 👣 I even have to drive my car Barefooted 👣because my foot is so wide that it touches the brake and gas pedal at the same time. I almost had several accidents because of that. I thought I was hitting the break and I actually was hitting the gas pedal. I constantly have to look down to see where to put my toes at because of my toes being too fat and too wide. Hope you have a good weekend buddy.
Man that's an amazing burnout for that old Galaxie!! Keep the vids coming!
Thank you so much
I swear I could actually smell rubber burning 🔥 awesome video
That’s funny thank you
Hey great find..64 Galaxy 500 with a 390 cid. Hot Damn! Love It. Careful you don't blower up before you even go anywhere! 😂
Thank you
Much respect for pouring one out for the homies. Lol
Great thanks
I know it's been a minute since you posted this...but, my hack for catching the majority of the coolant...is to use like a long Sterlite under-bed tote, from like Wal-Mart. It covers a wide area, and it's deep enough to hold all of it.
Now emptying it, without spilling it, is another matter. 😂
Awesome video I cannot believe that that car fought you all the way Especially that dad burn Transmission
Thank you yes it did
Old Fords never die they just keep rolling on, great video, I'm a Ford Fanatic too.
Awesome thank you
That is one bad AXX burnout. That boy is comin up right.
Thanks we enjoyed it
That old rascal laid down some serious rubber lol I love ❤ it
Yes it did thanks
LOVE the videos keep them coming and the kids are the best part ,you do good also but the family involvement is the part I love!!!!
Thank you I’m glad you like it
I have loved those old Galaxies ever since I was a kid and watched Sheriff Andy Griffith driving one in Mayberry. My Dad had a similar car ( a 1966 Ford LTD with a 352) but it didn't look as nice as the 64 Galaxie!
I had a '64 Galaxie in college. It was a 352. I through a rod driving on the highway driving home. I traded it away. I wish I hadn't done that. It was a land yacht, but I really loved the look of it. I hope you give her a good home. I'd love to find another. Cheers.
That’s sad , we all have cars we would like to have back
I also use advance auto as a last resort, and fully agree about counter people who can only find it if it's on the computer!
Yep
Your channel just popped up today. what got me hooked was the falcon speedometer 40 50 60 50 40 30 been binge watching all day long Love the content RV is the best been laughing my butt off Great content God bless!
That’s awesome I’m glad you like it
I love the old Galaxies. 65 is my favorite year. Had 1. It was one of my first cars.
P.S. my dad would jerk a knot in my tail if he saw me wearing flip flops to work on a car.
That’s funny
Did I hear that 64 Galaxie is for sale?
Dang it I watched another video only to find out you sold it. Hope its doing well wherever it is.
My first car in 1970 was a 1964 Ford Galaxie with a 292 in it! I really miss those days! It was a dark tan color with matching interior! I loved that car!
That’s cool
Killer burn out ! Can't wait to see more on this cool 64' , Hi Rocky and friends !!
Hello !!! Thanks for watching
I like the music you use when you work on the cars. Reminds me of when I was a kid watching fix-it shows on early Cable channels. Really upbeat sounds. lol
Keep up the good work. You and your son Ralphie make a good team. You work, He advices. One day he'll make a great coach.
I’m glad you like it, I hope he does thanks
I love that 64. Your videos are amazing love the content keep pulling them out and getting them on the road!!!!!
Ok thank you
This car was a very nice car back in the day at 390. Very good motor.
Thank you
Draining the radiator or the oil, I always seem to make a mess. Lol
Got a good laugh out of the Block of Velveeta comment 😂😂😂
I’m glad you liked it
I really enjoy the rebuilding of the engins you do.
I would enjoy more of those if possible.
GO SUPERDUDS.
Thank you
First Merry Christmas to Y’all family.
That 390 is a powerhouse potential. When you pulled it out with the truck it loosens the transmission drums and freed up the reverse drum and started working. I love the longer videos lot better content than the 20 minute videos much more enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing more of the Galaxy 500 content can’t wait to see you clean it up. I like when you involve your kids to participate to help you and spend time with them. You’re a good father and May you have a Blessed One Sir.
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you too
Dude, either that Ford has a super tight limited slip diff or a spool. When you were on the grass, that inside tire was turning faster than it should. Love this car
Yeah I’m not sure thanks
When you see the Rube Goldberg contraption look of those drum brakes it's a miracle they ever work. I started doing my own drums when I was 16 and I don't think they changed at all in 60 years. (I'm not 76, but I've seen the ancient drum brakes, pretty much the same.)
I remember being taught to do drum brakes after trying to avoid them altogether. My instructor put me on a car with 4-wheel drums, told me to do one side at a time and start with the front. By the time it was over, I was old hat! 👍
CHEERS! 🇱🇷
@@armedinbama Definitely have to have one side to use as reference, at first. I think I still have my spring-stretcher and my retainer pin depresser/twister out in my tool chest.
@@townhall05446 You know what that means, right? Same thing it means when you know what a 45-RPM adapter is for. 😁
From one old guy to another, CHEERS! 🇱🇷

i love watching this long videos thank you for making them have a great day :)
I’m glad you enjoyed them thank you
Made my day! Really like your videos. Nothin like the old skool cars, keep it up.🙂
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
You completely crack me up. Love the channel.
I love fords, you can always make them run, love your crew. even rocky, stay safe
Yep thank you
Gonna love watching this build!
Thank you for watching
Killer burnout! I just knew those casings were gonna explode, but they hung in there! That car is rough around the edges but would make a great driver.
Ralphie was upset that we didn’t pop a casing… thanks for watching
All your videos remind me of my childhood, and although it’s fun to watch, I’m glad I have new daily drivers! Haha keep up the good content.
