I bought a car from another YouTuber (It was NOTHING like I expected)

Thank you for coming out!! And for being so respectful with your filming. Would love to have you come by the shop anytime for a cup of Coffee - Kelsey & Dennis

Can't believe how good that hood matches the patina on the Fairlane. As for the wheels you cannot go wrong either way .

Definitely still a Factory wheel and caps. Can't believe how well that hood matched up. Awesome

Dennis is down to earth.... true car guy... doesnt label you... Thats why I still watch his videos.

Thank you for saving that 1967 Ford Fairlane. I had one, lots of work, had to sell it before it was done. When its complete it has a beautiful look to it, just standing still. I prefer the Cragars, but the dog dish caps are ideal for the period look.

Hard choice on the wheels. I'm leaning toward the Cragars but the dog bowls look pretty good too.

I bought the red '73 Grand Prix! Have a super complete low mileage (rusty) factory 455 parts car with everything needed to build this one! When we picked it up, there were a couple more I realized I should have bought!

Love the Fairlane-my high school buddy called me one day to look at his-it was a Lime Gold car with a 390-he said the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floor-I got there and discovered that it was indeed stuck to the floor-after scratching my head for a minute, I realized that the car had broken in half at the torque box, and the pedal linkage was pulling the throttle open-a shame, it was a cool car-I wanted to get my own, but all of the cars in my area, (Cleveland), were hopelessly rusted-you have a very cool project!

Dodge dish all the way. Tim I can't believe how well that hood matched on that fairlane love that car. Great video.

Kind of depends on the build you are going for; dog dish steelies for a cool sleeper or Cragars for a little more noticeable performance. Nice builder either way

Cragars look good on anything so do Keystones. As far as the steel wheels I prefer black wheels with raised white letter tires and dog dish caps.

So much history in that yard. Great video. Standing as is - Cragars. Lowered - dog dish.

I’d normally go with the poverty caps but those Cragars really suit it. Red interior would make it pop without or without shiny paint.

Great video,thanks for bringing us along

That dude who bought the Jag and was shaking hands with Dennis and Richard set the record for a solo run! Incredible. What’s more incredible is that he thought long and hard about which vehicle to use, and he had made the run before, and had friends and lots of experience. He picked a newer Mustang GT. He removed the passenger seat, the back seat, and added fuel cells such that he had 150 gallons of capacity for fuel. He put an LED light bar in the front bumper where the license plate had been. He can attest from experience that those cars top out at 159mph, a speed he says he held it at for a few hours at least! He did ONE fill up. He picked the Mustang because he did some calculations and figured that it best met some criteria, best fuel efficiency at higher speeds, with lower drag coefficient, but could be modified to hood the amount of fuel he needed to make as few stops as possible, shooting for one stop. It also needed to be able to handle high speeds well, and actually attain very high speeds. He settled on the Mustang. Here’s the kicker. It was a RENTAL! Afterwards he removed his mods, put everything back the way it was supposed to be, and replaced the tires with the exact same model. He said that when he returned it, you would have to not only know the cars inside and out to find any evidence, but you would have to know that car in particular. Incredible. Imagine doing that. Balls. Balls.

Dennis never allowed success to change his values. I meet him in Okc during a large auction and it was like talking to you're neighbor. He took time to shske hands take photos I was impressed by him.

Great video !! I have a soft spot for the 66-67 Fairlanes and Comets ! Glad to see someone is going to enjoy it !

Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a good experience! 💯👊

Luvit My 1st car, I was only 14 so I never got to drive it. 6 cylinder automatic on column bench seat. Paid $60 for it from a neighbor. Ran good rebuilt engine, interior trashed, huge dent in quarter panel. Had dreams but no money. Junk yard only gave me $35 for it. I’d be interested in this one to build because of that history.

Nice pics! Its high time for a "Realistically, just a parts car at this point" Mr. Goodpliers shirt with your favorite crumpled up, wad of a car on a 70's glossy iron on type look. More than 40K subscribers! Take your rightful place in this odd corner of the universe!
