Timelapse - My 1968 Ford Torino GT RESTORATION 

Yeah, looking back on it, it definitely wasn't a full one, but it sure was a lot of work. Before I started this project I didn't even know how to change a spark plug, it was a fantastic experience.

That's the plan! Thanks for the awesome comment! What do you think I should restore next?

Thank you so much for that!

Thanks that means a lot!

@@Everydaygarageman I see some people paint the chrome bumpers on cars that weren’t even performance oriented and it just feels like a kick in the gut

That's so kind! Thank you so much

I got em!

I'm working on a 1966 Pontiac Catalina full restoration. Keep working!

@@JosephStalin1941 You too. Good luck with the Catalina. That’s going to be sweet. Most of the mechanical work is done on mine. Next is the electrical - whoever worked on it before probably knows what’s going on but every time I try to work on it, I just see a mess. Got a new wiring harness waiting on Dakota Digital to send the gauges before I get going on it.

@lancegoulet8100 yeah, electric work is like trying to decipher 60 years of scrambled repairs and problems. It's also so tedious, I have to fix my headlight switch and rewire one my headlights.

Nope, I kept it!

Nice ride and AC, sweet. Mark the hoses and solid pipes on your AC hoses, before cutting crimps at 45degree angle,that way; if you go to a hydraulic shop and have R134 hoses made,the new rubber hoses will curve perfectly to evaporator and condenser. R134 refrigerant has smaller molecules than R12, new R134 hoses have plastic liner to keep refrigerant from leaking out. R134 will leak out of original R12 hoses. Hope that makes sense?

Dad also a impala I think a 66 with a 396 in it. That car would rip it down but it couldn't handle that torino. Good memories thanks for sparking my brain bud.

You're so kind! You made my day, thank you

A lot of these old classics are affordable,what Iv been seeing is these young 🔧 wrenching Will have a brand new Honda for there daily and a beat around Hot Rod🇺🇸👍

If you go down a few videos I have a full video just for the lights! I used HID nation it seems they're one of two that I could find to offer them. If you check my description on that video, I have a 10% code!

Yes, I got it off of Amazon it's $20 for a 17 fl oz container. It's called "Metal Rescue Rust Remover Gel" by the brand Workshop Hero.

I know it was super stupid, but I didn't. I completely forgot, I definitely will on my next rebuild

@@Everydaygarageman might come sooner than you thought

Like a kitten! Thanks for the awesome comment!

No, I didn't get a dash pad. Thank you for the compliment

First I 100% agree it's great to see younger kids appreciating classic muscle. But I completely understand why it's different for the newer generation. From the mid 70's to the late 90's those late 60's early 70's muscle cars were the fastest cars you could buy. They ruled the roads for 30 years. But for younger kids, cars just kept getting better and better every year. To each their own. I'm rebuilding a '69 Torino right now. My son is 17 and his dream car is a Volkswagen Bus. If some kid is into tuning a Honda Civic or a Subaru WRX, I say power to them. That's the beautiful thing about this. Find what YOU like, build it the way YOU want, and make it your own. Just because it might not be what I am into or the way I would do it, doesn't mean it isn't cool to somebody else. There are times when I see something and think, "Whoa, that's terrible. I can't believe somebody would do that to that poor car." But I would never say it out loud because it might be the car that somebody has dreamed about for years and who am I to $#!t on somebody else's dream. anthonycassata5152, I'm not saying that is what you are doing. This is just my public service announcement to the car world.

I used rust removal to eat away all the surface rust then, I sprayed it off which left it bare metal, so I polished it with a heavy polish, and ceramic coated to keep it from rusting again. And it turned out beautiful

Put this in Amazon search and you should find it! Workshop Metal Rescue Rust Remover Gel And the wrap I'm using is just normal kitchen clear Saran wrap! After you leave the gel on your rust covered by the Saran wrap for about 3 hours or overnight you can pressure wash it off.

Thank you!

Thank you for the awesome comment!

@@Everydaygarageman you're very welcome. I hope you take a trip down to Australia. And find Mad Max's Car. Which is a falcon xB 1973 to 74 which the 1974 Mustang before they downsized her.

I have a '69 GT. My OLDER brother was telling me that it was a waste and that no one under 50 cares about those cars. I said, "So what, I'm over 50." One of my coworkers has a new Audi something. He brags that its the fastest production car Audi makes. My 17 year old son was impressed that someone I worked with had an R8. I told him it wasn;t an R8, it was some "electric" car. His response was "Electric car? That doesn't count. Electric cars aren't cool." 17 years old. BTW: My daily driver is a Nissan Leaf. My work has charging stations we use for free. I don't even have to pay for the electricity. The money I save on gas goes into restoring my 10 mpg '69 Torino GT.
