Beautiful,I wouled have nickel-plated the bumpers. I had a 69 Ford Torino Cobra. It was ordered with the drag pack which included a Super Cobra Jet 428 engine, 427 lemans connecting rods, functional ram air, oil cooler, Detroit locker, 4.30 gear set, staggered shocks. metal cobra emblems, etc
I’ve been custom painting for just over 40 years myself Thomas and while I like Richard and love what he does, there’s no way in hell I could be a painter for him. Even tho I’ve turned out a few jobs Ike this almost overnight , it kills good men to do it and it ain’t worth it!! That’s one of only a couple things I don’t care for with him. The other thing is trying to cut everyone a few bucks on everything but hey, that’s the way he is ad he’s been successful operating that way and he’s made a lot more money than me so how can I say it’s wrong? It’s just not what I’m comfortable doing
@@danielcate7765 “Tuna no crust” channel states that F&L was the most scripted car show on TV, the wrecked black mustang was NOT in the script though. That actually did happen.
I'm sure most, if not all of the drama is scripted, but still Rawlings is a master at coming across as a prick to his employees. Great job by the guys on the build. They should have no trouble getting better jobs elsewhere.

Beautiful car but I would have left the bumpers chrome just pulled them in closer and put the full vinyl top back on then lowered it just a little to give it a more aggressive stance but it is a beautiful car
Every one is watching the show, but they talk a lot about the past. Richard is kicking ass and he's an ass kicker! Keep up the great work Richard, no one is out there putting up $ 1,000,000 for grab! Every one waiting for the next cool car you and your guy's are working on.
Awesome looking car but saying Richard didn't give you enough time to do it but yet you had enough time to paint the car twice and still get it done on time doesn't make much sense.. lol
WOW,how many episodes have i watched and your guys still cant get the distributor in to fire on the first crank and they stand around for hours trying to figure out what is wrong
I got up extra early today to go to work for the early worm, then I discover GMG has a YT channel, I am so F*****! :) Better than the TV version, Onwards and Upwards!
As an hourly employee drawing time and a half and double time I could put up with a lot of shit but I have never needed work so bad I would put up with this cunnies shit!
What you all aren't getting, I guess you never saw the Joe Rogan interview, is Richard had a small successful business. Advertising. He sold that to start Gas Monkey Garage.

What i dont understand is why you take a beautiful old car with all the chrome and nice ford wheels and paint the bumpers ans put those stupid looking newer style tires on it . if you are going to redo it put it back to stock it looks SOOOOOOOOOOO much better i do understand the suttle upgrades .
@@KDBHonda256 I know, I watch the show & KCs YT channel. It was a rip on Gotham Garages cars actually, they practically look like they’re bed lined. I’ve been to the Gas Monkey garage years ago and met & spoke to Aaron Kauffman in their office/gift shop. RRR is a giant tool though and pushing crazy deadlines is what leads to paint jobs coming out like it did at first. Relax. Also, screw Danny Coker while I’m at it.
They should have had at least another day, at least! These deadlines serve no purpose! A reasonable approach is Always the best way. Then, if you really do have serious deadline, it's taken more seriously! These guys are real professionals, treat them as such!!
It's a TV show I knew a few restoration shops that don't have dead lines sometimes a resto takes a year or more depending on the make and if parts are available.
Anybody ever notice that on the car shows all across the board it's always the timing or firing order that fixes the non starting engines. Just saying. Glad to see GMG still going it was my favorite car show when it was on tv.
there have been several times where they had to send the engine back to the engine builder....Im pretty sure that means it wasnt a timing issue....a certain Caddilack and firebird come to mind.
Right if they dont know how to find number 1 on the compression stroke @TDC make that rotor point just a 1/8 past the NO1 spot on cap and fully seated and lightly locked D. Hold down Then why dont richard do it next time lol.?
@@martytruelove5026 another trick is to use a carwash that can also spay the bottom of the car to wash the salt and or mud off of the inside of the body panels and the entire bottom of the car. A good coat of wax to supplement the carwash spray wax goes a long way towards preventing rust. I live in a U.S. state (Maryland) that heavily salts the roads if a suspected snowflake has been seen within a hundred miles of the state.
Yeah, Richard was just done with the show at this point, too much screwing around and hamming it up for the camera, it's clear that those guys are Discovery's crew not GmG's, and god who at Discovery thought Russel was a good idea. There were way too many manufactured problems, if these guys were real, they wouldn't have the same engine problems in every episode.
what was the "same engine problem every episode" because that seemed pretty realistic to me...I've only restored a couple cars, but nothing on that seemed fake...maybe their car selection could have been better tho.
Why are those guys not wearing gloves to push that car around. If that was my shop. Those guys would be wearing either white gloves or surgical gloves to touch any newly painted car.
Awesome. 2 heavy primes, block sand, paint and clear in 16 hours, and a pressure washer and spray paint rebuild of a turd motor. How does anyone not pay double asking price for these thrown together turds?
benn seeing a lot about orange peel lately, heres the thing sanded flat looks good inside under lights but out side it looks like shit, go to a new car dealer and look at the paint it has peel in it and it looks real shiny, without going into to much detail a flat lake looks like a mirror but a ripply lake sparkles and has was more gloss. mirrors arent very glossy. there is a thing about to much peel yes that looks crappy but when you get it just right texture outshines flat every time
Overall, a pretty sweet ride. But gotta take exception to those painted bumpers. It's the kind of cheap cop-out guys do when they can't afford a re-chrome, & makes it look right at home parked next to a double-wide & a clapped out Astro van. Just an opinion though. Otherwise, cool ride.
@ 7:04 "Mike painted the bumpers to match the body. Losing the chrome gives the car a smooth clean look". The chrome makes the car pop like a jewel!
Season 1 was the best. A small shop with simpler builds under Aaron's direction and Richard's ego wasn't as big then as it is now.
That’s true the original shop and original show was better it seems once these reality shows grow and the media companies get a hold of them it’s just it’s not real anymore it kind of ruins them, Happens to everyone of them
Aaron quit
@@tractormantp2113 no he just quit discovery
Ya, usual story. Ha!

Richard's making all the money. 😉 👍
In 68 it wasn’t a Galaxie, it was just called an ‘XL’. My father had one that was a Midnight Blue with a 302.
True. Ford separated the XL from the Galaxie series in 1967. They did the same to the LTD in 1966...
1959- 1974 the Galaxie name was used. Not to start an argument.
I had a '67 Galaxie 500 XL fastback, but only had a 390. I understand XL was the trim package.
Awesome classic car love those old Ford cars
Shouldn't you block off the exhaust ports before you go grinding on them?
I miss the Fast n’ Loud series with the Discovery Channel. There editing was so nice👍

They made it work because they stayed and worked all night and the next day after already working the whole day before the overnight ya big dummy
almost like it's scripted

Hey Richard, Cool color, it just makes it look nice and rustic !!👍🏽🇨🇱
Is there a pt 2 on this ?
I have only ever built 2 engines in my life. Both 350. Both times at start up had the dist 180 out. 50 50 chance and still got it wrong.
Can happen to anybody. I did a simple tune up on my Buick once. Crossed up 2 plug wires. Seemed to run perfectly, but had no power on acceleration.
Another *fantastic ride..AMX! AMX!

And lm not giving you any more days says Richard . At a loss

Dont shake that greasy dudes hand. Always in his greasy hair
Richard still doesn't belong anywhere near a car.
On a quiet night, you can hear a Ford rust. LOL.
That's probably the cheapest way to have GMG restore your rusty turd. Sell it to them and buy it back when complete. Lol
