F100 Gets a Fresh Engine Bay! 

Wowd just had a flashback! I did a set of cab mounts on my buddies 73 f350 campers special when I was younger. Lol!

Nice job! This will be 3rd on my to do list on my 66 F100 after the cab mount replacement and interior. Thanks for the how to video.

I inherited a 72' Ford F-100 Custom, thank God for your videos because it takes a lot of the guess work out of some of these cosmetic projects. I can't seem to find a whole lot of restoration videos for these trucks, so thank you for posting!

I would have changed all the visible bolts with coated ones. New battery cables get 1 wire alternator move the battery behind seat or in center console or a small racing battery under dash make it look clean paint black behind the fenders behind the bumpers and valance great job

Does my heart good seeing you young guys keeping the classics on the road! Even though I'm a Chevy guy, 1970 C20 :)

Just picked up my dream truck today after watching your build for a while now on this truck just got me a 1968 Ford F-250 camper special four speed the build begins you already gave me a lot of inspiration be posting videos soon

I love seeing you at this age having an interest in a classic truck instead of a booming stereo and ricers with wings. Your truck is coming along nicely and I am going to continue to watch all of your videos. I know this is 3 years old but you do use old guys proud!

Looks great! It's amazing how big of a difference some elbow grease and some spray paint can make in the engine compartment.

Makes me very happy to see guys your age interested in old trucks like that. Keep it finish it and enjoy it best of luck.

Hey I want to say great job! It's cool to see young guys getting involved in restoring old vehicles! I have a '71 short bed that I am building with a 393W that makes over 600hp at the flywheel... The "Only" thing I would change in your vids would be the music...other than that spot on! Can't wait to see more

Lots of work, Looks great..!! The hotter you get those rattle cans the better they work. Heat them up, When there good and hot you will feel the pressure and see the atomization when the nozzle is pushed down compared to a room temp can.

Craig I've been admiring your f100 I've watched all the content I have the same truck and ive done a lot of the same work your very helpful I'm doing the engine bay rn and I appreciate your passion for everything and thank you for all the videos and part adventures its so helpful and you do great work! keep it up!

Looking fantastic man!! I actually own an old ‘84 Chevy Square body but I am definitely enjoying watching your progress on your Ford. Awesome work man. 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah i'm one of the guys who watched the whole video, thanks for showing me how to take the front end off my truck, i just bought a 71 F100 and want to do the same thing you showed in your video, my patina is about the same as yours and i would like to make the interior and under truck look nice and keep the exterior just as is.Thanks again i will now watch the rest of your vids to get more ideas for my truck

Looks awesome! Thats a cool project to do on a free weekend! Thanks for the video!

Yup, makes a world of difference taking it apart like that. It kills me when I go to car shows and the people have a killer paint job on the outside and rattle can the engine bay while it's still together. Looks good!!

I absolutely love watching your videos!! It looks so clean. This makes me want to work on mine but like you mine is a daily driver. Keep up the amazing content!!!

Playing hysteria on your phone, nice to see other people listening to good music, I'm 15 and they're my favorite band. Trucks looking great!

This is probably the best sounding f100 I have heard. Btw the engine bay looks awesome with fresh paint.

Niiiice man. My 79 is having a new blue 300 crate put in. While the old one is out, I'm get'n up in there.

That turned out absolutely awesome,great job.

The tip for drilling the hinge and hood is amazing. Never thought of that and was worried about pulling it off and realigning

thecraig909 i know what you are saying about your grille. the po of my truck a 67 Ford f-100. he used a tree or a fence post to help stop the truck. now the bumper being bent no big deal 67 / 72 bumpers are all the same. the grille well that,s a one year only grille. i got really lucky on evil bay some one had one and they only wanted $175.00 and free shipping. i have seen the steel ones for a 67 on there for $300.00+ and know free shipping. my cousin told me of a tip he used when he painted the engine bay on his 67 Cougar. take the plastic tip from a WD-40 can that has never had WD-40 thru it. you can put it on the spray nozzle of your spry can .and you can get into the hard to reach spots. i watch your videos all the way thru. keep up the good work. you give me ideas for my truck.also from what i hear. the windshields from 1967 thru 1979 are all the same. the trim around the glass is diff. for the diff. years.

Dang Bud You’ve done so much to this Truck. I’m trying to get on my Dads 71 f100 It’s just where to start. Little at a time. Great content. Keepem comin

Good Job!! Way to get after it!!

I'm totally going to do that to my 72' keep up the great work. I usually get most of my ideas from you vids 😂👍🏻.

Love the videos man! I wanted to paint my engine bay as well but wasn't sure how it would turn out or even work. This video helped a lot!

Great job. Makes an awesome difference that makes it look more clean and professional

Looks really nice and clean. Great job.

You should buy some wire loom and tuck all your wires up and try to hide them. Would make it look even cleaner.

Just did this to my 75 F-150. Well worth the time. Great job

Thanks for the inspiration, I gotta get onto it.

gotta say kudos to you and your friends, yall have a lot more ambition than most kids do

I'm doing this on a 67 for a guy by myself. I pulled the engine and transmission out, resealed the pan, intake and valve covers. I painted the whole engine old ford blue with black accents. Adding a serpentine system from CVF and converting it to power steering. And a few other things. This whole job started as valve cover and intake gaskets! 🤣

Looks great. Do it to all your projects.

Paint looks great, and the long videos are awesome. Keep up the great content. 👍

Looks Frickin sweet compared to before. Good job. Like the videos. Keep em coming

Thanks Dude Awsome Job Also I Just Bought A 1969 F100 shortbed And Planing on restoring it myself

THANKS FOR THE IDEA MAN! Gone do this to my 78

Engine looks good....keep the videos coming. .i enjoy watching them

That is an amazing job, thumbs up guys

Nice job, looks great.

Heavy duty aluminum foil works great to wrap any lines on the fly.

Love the content man. I've been trying to build up my 78 F150 too.

It looks great keep up the good work and enjoy your videos.

You doubled the value of that truck. This is an impressive young man.

I’ve seen this video multiple times and it’s even better the second time.

Just subscribed! I've been really interested in 1970's model Ford trucks and your the man to watch! I also watched your other videos with your F-100, I'm really loving your content. Keep up the fantastic work!

I love this truck I had a red 250 with a 5.0 in it and it was an amazing truck

What's up bro. .seen you your video..looking good...I have my truck up and running. ..it was the points. ..got a little conversion kit and good to go...so little by little going to replace things here and there...

Looks great! I really need to do that to mine.

Great job! Looks like it was well worth the effort.

Hey love the videos I have a 1980 d150 and this inspires me to make my truck as best as possible keep up the vids!

Looks great!! 👍

A one year old comment; I enjoyed it and the hard effort to do things right count as well. Keep it up and yes I watched the whole video

So awesome!

Mine could definitely use an engine bay clean up. Gotta fix some leaky valve cover gaskets first haha.

Just rewatched. Great video

Great job, found the video very informative. Thanks

Came out great! You and boostedboiz are the only channels putting out good content haha.

Looks awesome

That is the meanest sounding truck I have ever listened to nice truck

Love your videos and both of your trucks and really liked that ford shirt you had on keep up the great work

Looks awesome!

Next I'd reposition the master cylinder under the cab on the frame clean up the fire wall upgrade big brakes all around put the Hoon stick and start sliding it !

What grit did you use to sand surface rust off core support and wheel wells? I just took the 283 out of my Impala and got the engine bay all cleared out to be repainted

Looks really good man💯👍🏻

Turned out great i think im going to do a $40 paint job also to my 78 f150 Ranger

Great job

Howdy man the truck is looking great keep it up I'm working on my 67 charger

Love watching your vids!

Thanks for this video bro this is awesome

Looks great man

do you think you did this with 2 cans of the roll bar paint? I'm about to do this to my 71 f100

What grit did you use on your grinder to sand down the spots with rust?

I could go either way on long or short videos. Do throw in a short/quick update on some of the projects. Looks great, nice and clean.

Awesome bro!

That turned out great man wow

Came out fresh bro

Great video. I have a '70 I have been doing for the better part of a decade. Kids and life slow it down. Any idea where a nice almost rust free cab is located?...its the only piece I need for my truck to be complete.

hey craig, starting a complete rewire of my '70 f100 tomorrow, any tips?

Beautiful

hey craig how many cans did you use for the fire wall and the core support

How did you remove the top bolts to the front end underneath the windshield

If you had to replace your brake lines! Would you buy pre bent lines or make your own??

i just picked up a 74 F100 dentside, did some trucks come with ac from factory?

Good job

Hey I am 14 about to turn 15 I have a 1975 f100 i got for my birthday last year I had to rebuild the motor (due to 3 stuck values) while I had it a part I threw in a bigger cam headers intake and carb. And it sounds amazing

Awesome video and great work. Also you should consider adding a break booster some day.

The engine bay really looks good

What fan shroud is that? Any chance you have a part number????

Hell yeah!!!!

Watched whole thing!

nice ride ............

Love the longer videos!

yeah loved the video can't wait for more and I just bought a 78 f100 with 351w automatic already starting to do things to it I'll have to get some videos of it really soon but I do have problems with when I turn head lights on and the truck running it acts like it wants to die just doesn't act right and they do like a flickering type thang too when they are on does worse when u give it gas and when u turn the light off it stops and acts fine but the interior lights still flicker tho

good job

Do you have a video on how you did your exhaust?

Great video, I love your truck
