Part 1:   • Fixing Up An Old Ford  

A few weeks ago I started some work on my friend's 1961 Ford Falcon. Since then, the car's turned into his daily driver instead of a lawn ornament. So, I loaned him my C10 chevy for the week so I could continue doing some repairs on the car. I was able to return to a lot of the stuff I didn't get to or only halfdid on part one.

Chapters & details:
00:00 Intro
01:23 Replacing worn tie rod ends
08:18 Cleaning and greasing the wheel bearing
I wanted to clean out any dirt beforehand since it had been rolling without the dust cap. Fortunately it had a hubcap over it, mostly, so the bearings/races didn't suffer any damage
12:39 Redoing the exhaust, again.
I only patched up the original exhaust in part one, it was more tolerable but still rather loud and after a couple attempts to stop it from leaking at the exhaust manifold, I decided to just start from scratch. I know the method of anglecutting the tubes and welding it all up may be ugly, but that's how I make exhaust pipes without a tubing bender. It holds up just fine.

25:24 Replacing all 3 rubber brake hoses
The old ones were clogged from the rubber swelling over time. This also caused the car to pull aggressively left when braking, I first thought it was because of the loose tie rod. It also made the pedal feel rock solid and the brakes were having trouble releasing on one wheel.
