Can you imagine how hard it would be to get your hands on one like that in 10 years without robbing banks or selling a lung? It's dang near impossible now
I still have my 65 Fastback, got it 1988 as a high school graduation gift. Dark Metallic green with black pony interior. 351w with AFR heads, All Global West Suspension and Wildwood brakes at all 4. And a 67 Shelby GT 500, purchased in 1986, was my father's. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work
A bit of history if not mentioned yet, that incert was originally used in the 70's to prevent refueling with leaded fuel, the nozzle for leaded fuel was larger in diameter than the unleaded nozzle, and would not fit thru the nozzle hole which in turn would cause the leaded fuel to splash out if attempting to lead fuel a vehicle marked "unleaded fuel only" And that is your 70's dose of trivia for the day
At Y'alls gas prices you can't spill a drop!!!!!! Living with my 66 Mustang for almost 50 years now it;s something I've gotten used to. For a REAL thrill fill my 73 Javelin tank....filler is almost level with tank!!! Good stuff as always! Thx
Ben you're killing it with the videos! It does seem like you are reading off a script whenever you're doing your B-Roll and it makes it seem like you're in a rush to tell me everything you want to, instead of taking your time. Just take your time when you narrate and that will make your video quality that much better!
That's pretty cool! Wish I had something like that when I had my 67. I used to pull the gas pump rubber back while filling and hope it didn't splash on me when full. It's always cool to hear your car without the typical fart pipe setup.
It's kinda amazing that his car sounds as it does with an X pipe. Usually I hate the sound of an X pipe exhaust. This car I really like. In fact I've never heard a small block Ford sound like this. I'm 62, I been hearing them since this car was new.
I sure like the looks of your car. Exactly how a Mustang should look. I'm an old man that likes it old school. Well done. And your videos are great too!
I picked up a '64 Ford wagon back in OCt and have been doing the same. All the small fixes make such a huge differenct in the driving experience. Love the channel!
I agree, filling up my 63 Cadillac is a pain in the ass, you have to fill her up so slowly... but i never thought of changing the filler neck, have to look into that now :) good job!
Hey Ben thanks for the information! I have a 67 mustang convertible and it drives me NUTS filling the tank! Maybe something to consider is doing EPAS steering, no hoses, fluids, or special steering racks. I bought a system from a 2009 Prius for $300 including the shaft, motor and module. Works amazing and not a super complicated installation.
All you had to do was pump just a bit slower, pumps back then didn’t pump crazy fast, also JB weld in gas tank is a bit scary, love the idea tho just wish it was tack welded love your videos brotha
You have that steady EFI idle now, FiTech really levels out lopes. Doing the filler mod in this video would be a challenge on my Pontiacs and Cuda. Probably need to cut it in half and weld it back together because they are welded to the tank on my cars.
1964-1968 Mustangs are a breeze when it comes to fillers and tanks. I had to replace the filler on my AMC Matador......drop tank and make a filler as none are made today. About 3 weeks......my Mustang 3 hours!!!
@@davevan8864 AMC is hot rodding on hard mode. Same with Mercury to some extent, and certain year Pontiacs. Its lots of fun and requires a lift to get the fuel tank out of a 4th gen F body. The 64-72 A body is easy to get tot eh tank, but the filler is part of the tank.
Looks similar to the one in my '73 Mach 1. I'll have to check this out. Always for improvements and upgrades to make it better. I also need a new steering box, and I have a small harmonic vibration I haven't found the cause of yet. But that's part of owning a classic car, working on it is half the fun!
That looks like a great upgrade - why has no one done this before!?! Here in Scotland, we don't have petrol pumps that you can lock on, stand and watch while it fills your car - we have to hold the trigger down until it's full! Being a tall, older guy with a bad back, this is torture and I've got to stand at weird angle for the duration of the fill-up, so this looks like a great invention to me!
Same in Australia. It's simply because they can't trust the general public to not be clumsy and have it drop out and spray fuel everywhere. You're not even supposed to be on your phone near the fuel bowser/pump too.
@@cobyfield9237 LOL! It's getting crazy here in this country, but I'm surprised that the USA allows it considering they are the litigation capital of the planet!
Nice mod I'm building up my 1990 foxbody lx kinda like your building up your 65 a little bit here a little bit there shes not a full on project but she definitely has some things that need to be worked on I've done alot work on her but still have a lot more to do but I'm just taking my time and enjoying the process I want to get a 65 or 67 mustang coupe as well but I'm still a couple of years away from that
Hey I just found your channel and I was interested in what your current build for your mustang is not only that but I now want to get myself one because of your videos. Anyway keep up the content!
That start - post EFI? Tap the key and she goes. My mantra > perfection is never a goal, only progress. For me most of the fun of owning older cars and working on them are the small wins. All of them, but sometimes especially the ones that make you turn back and look at her every time you get out. 👀
Love the idea but I thought the gas cap was how the tank vents. This is even more critical if it has an EFI upgrade. Would love to install this but I have a dedicated vent system tied in at the filler neck. I made the upgrade when I converted to EFI on my 69 mustang.
Don't have a problem with this on my 69 I've owned for 30 years. Pump usually clicks off when it nears full. I can overfill if I try to add more but I can do the same with newer cars.
That’s weird cause I can lock the hands free gas pump nozzle on my 70 Z/28 and the handle stops pumping when it senses it full and I have no flap on the tank neck. Maybe a better design from GM.😊 BTW gas won’t affect JB Weld seal.
i really appreciate common-sense solutions to problems like this. why not instead of punching divots just drill holes and spot weld the flap in place? also, someone please save those cars in that shed!
I’d love to have this! When filling up my thunderbird I always get the same issue where the pump cuts off late and I have to mop up the seepage from the rear tail fin and fender.
Just take the filler neck out of the rear panel. Weld in a plate and smooth it out and paint the panel back the color you had it. Then put the filler cap in the trunk and a vent tube out of the trunk maybe over the axle. Just pay attention while filling your tank as you should anyway, gearhead.
Hey love your video, I have the same problem with my 1968 Mustang. I wanted to purchase this gas tube but Dougs Email you left doesn't seem to work? ?? Is there another way I could get ahold of him ??? Thanks for your time TIM
While I'm sure this piece will solve the problem. What I'm going to use on my 1967 Mustang Coupe is make a filler like the Cobra's did back in the 60's with a aluminum pot with the filler neck inside. I've rounded up all of the parts now I just need to put it in the car.
Hey! 4Speed channel....since the FItech system works great on your car..will you guys be installing it in the 1960 Starliner??? Just asking......love the channel!!!!
I did the borgeson upgrade this last winter on my 65 which had the original one pinky leaky ps. I absolutely love it the upgrade. It’s also nice having a steering box that doesn’t have any play. I now change lanes WHEN I WANT TO lol.
That's awesome, I'll have to do this to my 65. Does it prevent gas from spilling out during hard acceleration? That is an issue I have been trying to figure out how to fix. Thanks for the great content!
@FourSpeedFilms thanks for the reply on the rim's size 15×7 can please add what is stamped on the wide oval tire please and thank cheers for Milton Mike.
