Congratulations on your new chrome bumpers and your first trip to the Falcon Nationals. And especially your First Award for all your hard work. Your enthusiasm is so reminiscing of my teenage years so many years ago. Way to go Ellie and family!
You can find a wealth of information and knowledgeable people at events like that. And some great ideas too! Congratulations on your award! Hard work pays off
My name is Carl and I watched one of the videos where you were doing the high-low sanding and your dad was teaching you your car is coming along just great it's a real Ford it doesn't have a blue oval it says Ford it just says Ford in big letters these are the best
Ellie, my first car when I was 19 - a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente 4 door with a 289 4V that had been imported to Canada from Texas then wrecked two months later. I bought it from the wreckers for $250 in 1983 and rebuilt the car with help from my grandfather and older brother- much like you are doing to Carl with your father now. Guess what- I still have my car 38 years later and still enjoy improving things every year! I'm sure you'll own yours for many years to come so enjoy it. Also, even more, I'm sure you'll treasure the time with you father for the rest of your life. Congratulations on your build so far.
@@ElliesGarage btw your video on your radio replacement was fantastic and I'll be watching it again when I install the same radio in my Comet- what an improvement that will be.
So cool you and your dad could road trip and go with family to the nationals. Bumpers look great! As you found out most CAR people are awesome and willing to help with labor or knowledge. Congrats on the award, proves you don't have to have a big buck or finished car for people to appreciate your hard work. Keep going strong!
That was so cool that you got to take the road trip and congrats on the award, your doing a great job with Carl and your efforts are amazing, can't wait to see the paint all buffed out,, it's looking awesome
All time best video EVER💝💝💝💝 And your hair looks way cool. Billy and Warren and Olivia were great and the girl with the tats was cool too. It's nice to know that there are still good people out there. Ten thumbs up🐹
I'm really glad yall made it to Nationals. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and really awesome family. And of course the highlight was getting to help with Carl's bumpers! Keep up the good work, and I'll see you guys next year!
For a number of years, I was a member of FCA,, the National meet we had here in Nashville TN Knocked our socks off, that was quite a few years ago, I had a 1964 Falcon, Deluxe, orginally a 170, with a 2 speed,, I swapped in a 250-6 with a C-4, I also had a 1970 1/2 Falcon, rust bucket,,
Congratulations on your award. It a feeling and moment you will not forget. When i heard you were at the dinner i was hoping you would get an award and then you announced you received one. I was thinking well deserved. I watch from Australia and I drive a 1967 XR Falcon which I recently rebuilt from a badly rushed shell with my lovely wife for the nationals here. We do the car stuff together, just like you and your dad. You guys are a great team.
Very Nice . And you found a very nice set of bumpers. That looks so much nicer that the old ones. And getting an award is even better, it show that people appreciated the work and effort you put into your car. Looks like you got bitten by the car show bug. Now you want more. All good , have lots of fun and learn many things from the Falcon community. just like the hood latch adjustment , So nice for that gentleman to show you how to do that . See you next time in the Garage.
It made me smile about how excited she is. Total opposite of a friend's daughter. She bought her daughter a very well maintained 02 Lexus. Her daughter won't drive the car and basically bullied her into buying her a new car.
That's what makes Ellie such a breath of fresh air in these times, she has an older car that she has worked on herself and is so enthusiastic about it, totally different than a lot of younger people today, hopefully she'll be an inspiration to others her age 😁
What a great video! It's awesome to find a community of people who are excited about the same things you are. Also congrats on the parking lot bumper swap! It's no easy task.
Thanks so much!! We'll actually have another video coming out from our time at Nationals and wait until you see the work we did on Carl for that one. 😅
You all have done an amazing job on Carl so far. It's a lot of work to get where you are now. But going to the Nationals makes it fun and so worthwhile.
Yes and thank you! We had the best time making the trip and getting to meet everyone! Even though we'll have to undo a lot of what we did for paint, it was definitely worth it!!!
Ellie I just started following your channel and really enjoy your enthusiasm. I wished my granddaughters were interested in cars and trucks,but they aren't. Young lady keep doing what you're doing and you will be great in life. I'm going to keep watching you complete your build.
Gidday from Australia Ellie. Been restoring an Australian 2003 BA XR6 Falcon in Phantom Purple. The love of Falcons runs deep Down Under. Love watching your progress with Carl. Keep up the good work. Regards, Brad.
I'm so happy you got an award at the show. A good friend of mine Roy Sward started the Falcon club. He has past on now but I know he would have loved you and your passion for the Ford Falcon. I saw where you met Roy's son Chris in the video. I'm looking forward to more of your videos on Carl!
When I had to replace the rear bumper it was bent beyond repair. Some of the bolts just spun so i used an angle grinder to remove the heads. I found new bolts the same size and just a little longer at a local parts store. My new bumper was $300 so you got a good deal.
Thank you Mr. Poole!! And thank you for all of your help and encouragement from the very beginning AND at the show! It was so great to see you guys and we can't wait to visit again!!
That looks like it was a lot of fun! Congrats on the award! It is so great that so many people took the time to mentor you and show you some stuff (like how to adjust the hood) Those bumpers were an unbelievable score! Up here in Canada double that amount and you would have got one bumper!
Seems to me you now know all that hard work sweat tears frustration pays off hrs and hrs of thankless work !!but look at finished result well done 😄😄😄😄
My wife and I love watching your videos! Keep up the great work and great info! We’re building a 67 mustang and the videos you’ve been putting up help a lot.
Man.....looking at all those cool Falcons almost, ALMOST gives me the urge to sell my Studebaker...but I can't! I had to do a similar bumper swap at the York Studebaker meet a bunch of years ago.
Great job, on the award. When i used to go to car shows. With my '67 Falcon Sport Coupe. I always put it under, "Original". which was the truth. And i Always got beat by the same guy, That had his Fully Restored. Mine was a daily driver, since 1967. ( And then other people complained, and kept asking about why mine never came close? Because It Was Actually Original, And not Restored? So, I quit car shows about 7-8 years ago. I Hated Drama! SO, I Left going to / even looking at car shows. ) Just Keep up the great job. And never lose the spirit, of cars. Like i did years ago. ( Maybe mine will come back again. )
@@ElliesGarage i used to get mine at the appliance store. Folded up kept in trunk. I once had to replace the starter and it was -15 F, it kept me from freezing. Same effect keeping cool in summer. As an old guy I do not fix cars anymore.
Bumpers. Be sure bugs on the license plate is the front bumper. Cops pull you over if not. Think are stolen. Just being funny. Thanks for showing the show.
Congratulations on your new chrome bumpers and your first trip to the Falcon Nationals. And especially your First Award for all your hard work. Your enthusiasm is so reminiscing of my teenage years so many years ago. Way to go Ellie and family!
Loved having you there! As you have learned we are family at the FCA!
So happy to be part of the family!! Thank you for a great first show for me and I can't wait for more!!!!
Falcon owners are the BEST!!!
YES!!!

The new bumpers are like nice jewelry dressing for the car, good bang for the buck because it instantly makes it look that much nicer.
It's great when a car community comes together to help you out and teach you new things, Congratulations on the award, very well deserved.
Thanks 👍
Looks like you had a lot of fun. Lots of good folks in the car community.

@@ElliesGarage oooh! I can't wait! I pulled up UA-cam this morning with no time to watch videos, but then I saw yours and had to watch it. :)
You all have done an amazing job on Carl so far. It's a lot of work to get where you are now. But going to the Nationals makes it fun and so worthwhile.

Looks like you and your father are enjoying this experience. Good for you Ellie.
Wow those bumpers look outstanding. Sometimes it's fun to spend the money and bolt it straight on!
I look love drama "..we only had three bolts left and if they didn't come off I didn't know what we would do.."
Classic car people are awesome ... Very fun to watch.. as always :)
That's wonderful great job Ellie

Nice job. Carls looking great 👍
Thanks so much!!!!
So cool to see you have a great time there. Im jealous of your bumper score, I need some for my 65 Ranchero!
Rancheros are so cool!!!
Loved, loved, loved this video!

Thank you so much!! Wow! I knew bumpers could get expensive, but that sounds crazy! Thank you again for the encouragement!!
@@ElliesGarage stuff is also a little more expensive up here. I buy lots of parts from the US. No problem! Keep it up!
Man those seats weren't cheap.

Thank you! We will!!

Tip get a large piece of thick cardboard to lay on while working on car.
Yes! We should have asked around. Great tip!
@@ElliesGarage i used to get mine at the appliance store. Folded up kept in trunk. I once had to replace the starter and it was -15 F, it kept me from freezing. Same effect keeping cool in summer. As an old guy I do not fix cars anymore.
You go ellie !
Thanks!!
U can find a I pad anywhere finding a good deal on them bumpers was a there only thing....you will be thankful you made that decision
Very true. Thank you!!!
Did you have any mechanical issues going there or going home??? How did the Fuel Injection do????
No issues on the ride home. The EFI did great and we got 21-24 mpg the whole way!
Nice job Ellie..was waiting for you to make a long trip and 1700miles is jst perfect.
Did u experience any problem with the autolite efi?
Thanks! No problems at all with the EFI and we were very happy with the 21-24 mpg we got along the way
Bumpers. Be sure bugs on the license plate is the front bumper. Cops pull you over if not. Think are stolen. Just being funny. Thanks for showing the show.
😂😂😂😂
Did you see very many FOR SALE??
We saw a couple I think. You could probably find some on the Falcon Owners Group on Facebook
First comment #garagegangmoms
OH YES I DID, PETER.
Wow
That's pretty cool. Too bad Texas is on the other side of the earth from me... practically.
