Door Latch Install ROOKIES! 

Another fantastic instalment of Carl's restoration. You and your dad are doing magnificent work Ellie.

Ellie: I have enjoyed following your progress. I am rebuilding uilding a '64 Ranchero & have followed your progress closely. Thanks.

That's awesome. Closer and closer. Keep up the pace and you'll be cruising in no time!

Ellie, You are doing a GREAT JOB!! Before you install the windows in the doors replace all of the Plastic rollers, it's easier now instead of later. I installed sound deadening inside the door to make it quieter inside, you can also install it on the roof before the headliner. You will soon have a one of a kind Falcon!!

Awesome build. Looks good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ellie and Matt, I love watching your videos and seeing the two of you working on Carl and building memories and bonding moments together. Ellie, I love the color you picked and the reason behind that decision. Heritage Green to honor your late Grandfather. Love It! Now....I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but I have to do so. When you installed the door latches....you forgot to route the door lock rods upward through the holes in the top of the doors. You will....UNFORTUNATELY.....have to remove the door latches in order to get the lock rods pointed up toward the upper part of the door. I recommend poking the lock rods through the holes and screwing on the door lock nob thingies, then reposition the door latches and install the screws. I was just rewatching this video on my living room TV and saw the lock rod hanging down in the section of the video where Ellie was installing the unlatching rod. I hope you have not made too much progress on the doors...such as installing the door panels and such.....because it would suck having to undo all that work in order to install the lock rods. I am looking forward to seeing Carl fully together and looking great. I hope you all the best of luck in the remaining rebuild and so many years of enjoying Carl. Thanks for such wholesome father, daughter and classic car content. Sincerely, Tim

Ellie and Dad, you guys are killing it! So much work has been done and I am learning along with your series…appreciate all you share!

It is amazing how far you have come on this project, and to watch you two see it through. 👍

I finally got round to watching this episode . I bet you are glad that job is done. Can wait to see some chrome go back on. Nice job as always 👍

This is coming long awesomely. You and your father are being quite meticulous with everything on this car. You should be able to drive Carl for a long time.

Love the puns..... Good to see the doors working and that you will not slide out of Carl while driving him. Impressive work as always.

Ya'll are doing a fabulous job, keep up the great work.

Nice to see shiny parts going back on. The color turned out great too!

Your door gaps look perfect! Loved your puns!

Been following your build for the start you have done very well and I’m always looking forward to your next video 👍doesn’t it fill good to see all your hard work coming together now this is where all the little things finish off the big project keep up the good work 👍

3 words purple super clean ,the 1 gallon by castrol , spray em , hose those parts off with garden nozzle done ,more time to work other parts

Nice job! Those latches can be tricky! Keep it up!

Case closed on Carl now all the doors and panels are on. Fantastic effort and precision to ensure the doors all shut evenly. Only 1 thought to share and that is instead of using regular WD40, which is a great Water Dispersant but can dry out and "gum" up over time, a better option would be WD40 Silicone spray. Another, probably better option, is graphite spray for all Carl's hinges, latches, and locks. Graphite is really good for lubricating locks and other close tolerance parts where low pressure metal to metal contact is a certainty.

That is a beautiful car watching you turn around.

Thank you for this video. I had to remove my door latches to clean them. 59 year old grease was not fun

Cute little goin ta town car, as Derek would say, subbed, can't wait to see the finished car!

They close nice now. But remember that you still have to install weather striping . That will change things a bit and more adjustment may be needed. As always , great job.

Good work!

as much fun the build is to watch and the way you inspire me to work on mine I think my favorite part is the ending comment

Coming along great!!! Keep up the awesome content!

This girl and her pop just rock.

Two dad jokes in one episode… I don’t think I can” handle “it. 🤣🤣. Great progress.

Closure? Ha. Great job Ellie and dad. Carl will be on the road soon!

A next process is done perfect and Love it this Videos and this Car very amazing ❤️❤️👍

Just a lil advice on the door insides use fluid film, coat all the inside of the doors an never worn about corrosion. An when installing the door glass use 100% silicone grease on the glass rails and pivots.. it's awesome what you an your dad are doing.. I had no one on my projects..

Good job figuring out latches they can be tricky sometimes. An you didn't get cut up from sheet metal, yay!

Great work, Ellie. Very detailed, very precise work. Awesome. One tip: wd40 tends to attract dust and dirt...

CARL'S BUILT FORD TOUGH!!!!

Looking amazing. Great job 👍

Awesome video as always!!

Ellie Make sure your dad takes out the best insurance he can and that you are covered for full replacement value......

The welting on the door latch rods is actually to keep the rod from rattling or vibrating inside the door

👍👌

Well done I wish you well

Awesome work! Just be aware they may need slight readjusting once the door seals go on.

❤

Add a some dish detergent to your solution, not only will the vinegar start working on the rust but the detergent will emulsify the grease much better and allow it to be rinsed off with water.

Good video. I'm about to work on my 2 Door 66 Galaxie 500. I'm locked in.

Ellie hagerty antique auto insurance.

i love the paint, What paint did you use? how many coats did you paint it? Great channel !

You are so cute ... lol . Nice job as always

Working inside of doors is awkward to do, and even more awkward to film. Great job!

Now time for a set of torque thrust wheels and B F Goodrich white letter tires.

The door stays on my impala have probably never been greased, and they are pitted and falling apart. Greasing the stays is a good choice.

If you haven't already.... Don't forget to "upgrade" your insurance. No hoopty insurance. Protect your investment. Can your dad share his diet with us. He has more patience and is so relaxed.. just wondering if it's because of what he eats... 😂😂. Keep up the good work. I'm still hunting for a falcon.

Great job 🆒🆒🆒🆒👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
