BARN FIND Ford Fairlane Rescue! First Wash in 29+ Years! Part 2 

This battered, broken old veteran can only dream of such a beautiful old machine. I'm happy you saved her.

I'm sure it felt good to have 3 generations of your family working on the Fairlane. Your daughter is definitely going to be a car girl.

I think it is really cool that you have your daughter helping you

Make sure to pay your daughter for her help so it is just child labor, and not slave labor. 😁 Great seeing you include your kids as they get older.

Like it you had your little gal helping.. she'll always remember that. Pez

Nothing like a daddy's little girl A good Dad can make a huge difference in a little girl's life 😇

That’s one sweet looking ride !!! Anyone would be proud of that Great job guys Hard work really pays off !!!

Hats off to you sir, she got to spend time with you and got a small introduction to your world. When she grows up, she might be into cars or at least understand what it takes on these cars. It is amazing how well this car cleaned up. You do good work!

Another survivor gets a new lease on life, the kid helps out and learns something The end result is spectacular, and a stinky old crusty beast that might have gotten crushed if idiots were in charge can now be a fine and beautiful daily driver if you so desire. My heart skips a beat and does a backflip. Everybody wins. Outstanding work, sir. I wish you nothing but the best!!

One major thing I love about your videos, you include the family element. Keep it up and can't wait to see the Porsche

I watched all 3 videos of the 62 Fairlane....I LOVED all 3.....your instincts are good and you did a great job of getting this hidden jewel running again...thanks and keep them coming.

Its come out awesome as expected! Great to see your little girl get involved...

My apologies. I don't watch clean 'em up videos, so I fast forwarded to nearly the end. And it looks incredible. From disgusting to desirable with elbow grease and not much more. We slobs of the world salute you, sir... (all the emojis I have and there isn't a saluting one! Have a cake instead)...🎂

I hope you do encourage her to learn all about cars. 😊

Love to see a 60’s Ford Family Pic with the Galaxy, Fairlane and T-bird.

Beautiful automobile! I love seeing the old vehicles given a new chance to roll! Great job involving your daughter! Teaching children hands on skills enriches their lives and builds solid work ethics. Well done!

My first car was a 1962 Fairline 500 4 door with the rare 221ci V8 predecessor of the iconic 289ci. Great to see this. It looks amazing. Good job. Thanks for sharing this.

You and your dad are doing a wonderful job on this car. I think a lot of people are wanting to return to these old dependable cars. No computer or nothing!

I've always loved the bird license plate. I thought it was the best looking one ever.

Man that was a diamond in the rough and your daughter is an excellent helper 🙂 keep her at it 😁

I think 1962 was the first year for the mid-size Fairlane. (My grandfather had a 1961 that was a full-size car like the Galaxie.) That Windsor family of engines included the 221, 260, 289, 302, and 351W. The was I understand it, engineers knew that 221 wasn't going to be enough engine to pull that car. So, I think the Challenger 260 was next. My grandfather later traded for a 1968 Fairlane with a 289 that he gave me to drive years later when I turned 16. It had automatic transmission and an AM Philco radio that I added an FM converter to get local stations and that was it. It wasn't much to look at, but it was fast enough for me. Wish I had it back! Great video!

Now that's the way ya do it. Teach um young. Shell remember this forever. Daddy.

Family involvement is precious; Great video and nice looking’62 Ford Fairlane!Take Care, Your Oregon Friend.☮️

You're so fortunate that she is interested in cars and stuff

Another one rescued....great video...I wish I had your weather, it's always calm and sunny, even in "Winter" 😳🤔😀😏🇬🇧

I had one just like it. It was white with red and white interior bucket seats. It was our dating machine almost 60 years ago. Good job I enjoyed seeing it recovered. God bless Merry Christmas

One of the best "barn-find shine-ups" I've seen this year! Looking forward to seeing more of this ride in future videos. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Being stored indoors really saved on it, great job. beautiful car.

Absolutely awesome. What a great job. Thank you for sharing your video.

My first car was a '63 Fairlane w/ bench seats and three on the column with the 221 V8 engine. I was 16 and the car was three years old. I paid $750 for it with pretty low mileage. I drove the heck out of the car, but this was the beginning of the muscle car era, and I couldn't wait to get enough money to get into a muscle car. It took me a couple of years to be able to afford a '66 Olds 442. But my dad drove the Fairlane for another few years as a drive to work car. These things were sturdy but easy to work on. Great video! Lots of memories there.

Always loved them oldFairlanes

Fantastic survivor, I would buy this Fairlane !!

I had a 1963 4-door Fairlane 500 in that same color scheme, 1970-73. It had an anemic in-line six; that little V8 must’ve been such a better prime mover. This is one of your best yet. I’m going to stick my nose in your life a little. I listen to your videos through my new Bluetooth hearing aids. Please wear noise protection when running power tools. You’ll be glad you did years from now!

What I really enjoy about your channel is that your not dropping thousands and thousands of dollars into new parts and can still get a vehicle to turn out that good.

Awesome job you are a great dad i love the car looks beautiful.

Wow WOW WOW! THIS LOOKS AMAZING... ALL BECASE THATCUTE LITTLE LADY HELPED YALL OUT.

Well done ! Well done , nice to see young little girl to get in there !❤

You did a great inprovement with the black 62 ford. I was amazed at the inprovement

Awesome Job guys and great to see your daughter getting involved ! Top Work ! Regards MEC from MEC-TEC

its lookin good , glad the lil car gal is helping!! get well soon !!!!!!!

It turned out much better than I expected. Good job! Fortunately, back in the 60s, black was black. Nothing added. I worked at a NAPA store and had to mix paint occasionally. But black required no mixing. Use it straight out of the can. Back then there were (at least at the store where I worked) 2 paint type choices. Acrylic enamel (Ford and Chrysler) and acrylic lacquer for GM vehicles. Looking forward to further work on this car.

Love the mini series format rather than just will it run. Keep the great content coming

Great job powering thru working in the cold while sick. That car really cleaned up better than expected. Hopefully some skilled hammer/dolly work can improve the rear bumper.

Spend as much time as you can with your kids. They will be grown before you know it.

I miss my 67 Fairlane XL . Fun ride.

Great find, cool looking car, excellent work from the young apprentice🥰

Great job Michael! I learned to drive in a '63 Fairlane 300. It was really bare bones compared to your jewel I'm really happy to see you resurrecting these pieces of automotive history. Love the channel , always a new challenge to keep us coming back.

This is my favorite car. Had a body from the fin cars era. The next year it had round tail lights. Put in a 5.0 Mustang motor. You have a Sleeper! Ford. Shawn

I just happened across your youtube channel and, after watching your work on the 62 Fairlane, I am hooked. A appreciate the fact that you are talking about dropping in an LS engine or altering the car. You've brought it back to what it was intended. I am now a big fan.

It’s amazing how good that paint came out, great work

Oh no! They flushed off the patina! (/sarcasm, just to be clear) It came out looking sweet! Also, heartwarming to see the next generation chipping in on the job!

Loves how the kid drops yellow rag on the ground and just picks it up and continues to rub into the black paint.

That is one drop-dead GORGEOUS survivor! Anyone in their right mind would be proud to make it their Saturday night cruiser and/or their daily driver. Looking forward to the next installment of this revival. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and an even more wonderful New Year! To the entire BB gang, Cheers!!!

Those are great looking little cars, my sister and brother had them middle to late 60s and 70's

FANTASTIC...who'd of thought this old girl was in such good condition under all that fungus and mold !!

Mom and Dad had a '62. It was black with red and white interior, full wheel covers, 260 V8 and two-speed auto.

It turned out great. The hub caps are perfect. Great helper that you have there. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I had the "63", 170 i6. Drove it EVERYWHERE....finally gave it to a friend.....who drove it everywhere. Column shifter was almost non-existent....moved it to the floor with a pile of floor shifter parts..some fabrication was involved

It's good to see you saved a fabulous car and best wishes for your daughter, she will be an excellent car restorer.

Anytime you video the revival of a vintage ride, I'm gonna be right there watching and being amazed at how it looks when finished!!!! Great Video!!!!

That old Ford looks really good. Yall did a great job on it

I'm new to this channel. I'm really glad to find you. Love what you're doing.

She came out great, good to see that your daughter likes helping out 😄. Next time it will her rescuing her first classic

Fantastic job guys!! ... Beautiful 60's car ... I'd be proud to own one and drive it around and it take it shows.....Well done all ... great channel, keep up the great work ....😀👍👍👍

I'm amazed how well it cleaned up with just the rinse down, wow!

Wow. Very nice work. He he. Again. You have talent in saving cars.

Michael, you got a thumbs up for the restoration. I wish I had another for your helper/camera operator, Belle.

My dad always told me to start at the top! I miss him and think of him everyday! You are lucky to have such a great father.🙂

Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers

Would like to see the trio of mafia cars driving together. Continental, Galaxie and Fairlane. I think my favorite is still the Galaxie. I recently got to see and talk with the owner of a Comet Caliente. Have enjoyed the rehabilitation of these cars and the Thunderbird as well. I especially like that you get most of your vehicles road worthy.

WOW !!! She looks sooo much better !!!!!

Came out gorgeous!!

Merry Christmas to your family and dad. Glad u feeling better stay safe plz 🎄💯🇱🇷

She's a really good camera person 😊

Amazing what you can do with these old cars here’s wish you and your family a very merry Christmas

Involving your kids is so cool!!

I love me a '62 Fairlane in Raven Black! It looks fantastic!

Nice job putting your daughter in the video working with her Dad! I’m sure that made her very happy. You should be proud! Way to go.

Yeah Brother, from what it was, WOW! Great job of taking care of this black beauty. Can't wait for the mechanicals video. Thanks Bro!

Great that you have the next generation in your video. I can tell you are a proud dad and Grandpa.

I wish I could like this twice! Amazing job! Car looks beautiful can’t wait to see what you do with it next!

Looks really good that was my very first car back when I was a teenager I'm 61 now

That sure looks like a kid who is hooked! She has it down perfect, even the cleanup! Fantastic opportunity. Cherish it man.

I miss my '63. Dad bought it when I was 11 for a father son project but my attention span meant we never did anything with it and it was sold by the time I turned 14.

The drivers side front fender came out the best!!!

Wonderful survivor Fairlane! You’ve done a great job so far, bringing this barn find back to life. Keep up the great work!

Car looks beautiful. Great job!

Michael so wonderful to see your daughter lending a hand. It so important to have our children learn from us and her enthusiasm certainly show through. AND the car looks fantastic! Looking forward in seeing it on the road. Happy Holidays to you, your Dad, and your family🎄🎄

This is definitely a keeper. I know this is your livelihood but sometimes you have to enjoy the results a little longer before parting ways.

The Fairlane is in amazing original condition given its age and location east of the Mississippi. What a find! Working with your father and daughter on the project has to be the best.

You're a saint. There's no other way to say it. When your daughter started messing with the antenna, not even a no, no honey. WOW! You have my respect sir.

What a beautiful old car. Well done 👏

All it needs is nice dual exhaust. Great car very clean. Good detail 👍

I am a FORD man and this survivor should bring out a sponsor to the man (Budget Buildz) who has given most of his talents, a lot more of his energy to see this car come out of its one time grave to sunlight and future. I truly wish I was the man who found you guys and transformed the way that you guys are so capable of doing this type of work.

That had the first small block Ford V8. It was a 221 Cubic Inch. It was only used in 1962. Great little engines. A chrome plating shop can straighten and rechrome those bumpers. Not many of these shops left anymore.

I’d keep that old black Ford an keep tidying it up . Getting harder to find keep it it’s not a rust bucket . 👍🏻💯🇦🇺

Excellent job lot’s of hard work well done from across the pond.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

nice to see your little girl wanted to hang out with dad

Buy an automotive interior Ionizer....works magic for getting that funky smell out of the inside of a vehicle ! Moving forward with all the projects you'll be doing , it's worth the small investment !

Damn!!👌😍👍I’m impressed! She looks like a new car! Wow! That’s awesome! Great job! Wishing you get well!
