He's a complete hack , ruined salvageable parts , kept parts then didn't post the video until the day after it was sold to a unsuspecting buyer who I know personally !
I seriously hope this channel blows up!! Very VERY talented young guy, not just on getting old hot piles running, but the quality of filming and editing is on another level!! Good job Simon 👏🏼👍🏼
The first vehicle I ever drove was an M151A2 1/4 ton TRK /4x4. TM 2220- 218-2010 if memory serves. I was a 17 year old new recruit in the 82nd Airborne Division. Sergeant John Turner (truck Turner) was my platoon sergeant. Every time I missed a gear he would hit me in my helmet with a stick he carried for that purpose. It sounds rough but these guys just came back from Vietnam and the war was still going on. Great memories of Truck and that Jeep. To this day I own and drive standard shift vehicles minus my wife’s LR2. Great work on that Jeep. Your perseverance and skills. Are unmatched by the majority of young men your age.
Such an intriguing video! 🤔 I love the suspense and the determination to make it work. It's amazing to see how persistence and creativity come together to make things happen. Can't wait to see the end result! 🔧💡 Keep it up, you’ve got this! 👏🔥
It’s like a 90 year old war veteran sitting in a wheelchair in an old veterans home waiting for his time to come, then someone takes him to the battlefield where he goes out in battle like the warrior he was meant to be! Great revival, I enjoyed that immensely, and your editing is amazing. Great content! Liked and followed for sure!
First time I’ve heard him speak and it’s just a simple “Perfect” for the worst looking most bent outta shape wheel I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 I’m glad it worked and I had a smile the whole video.
Built like a brick shithouse with the reliability of 4 wheels and a hole in the bottom to push it Flintstones style. Can't get any better than that when it comes to bulletproof quality.
@@dustinlewald2804 I don't think so, it runs and drives and hasn't folded in half from frame rot. I wouldn't restore it but it would be a great firewood hauler.
@@MrHVTelesz69 Yeah the engine is done for sure. Sounds like the main bearing or connecting rod. The entire engine needs to be replaced or rebuild with oversized pistons if the block and crankshaft are ok. People are talking about restoring it like it was easy or cheap. By the looks of it almost everything needs to be replaced. It's just not worth the effort for most people.
It was fun to watch that jeep go from a stationary junk pile to a functioning vehicle. I drove Willies Jeeps in the Army in the 70s, and they are nearly indestructible! They were made so you really could fill them up with lake water and stuff like that. They were designed to be extremely serviceable by just about anyone just about anywhere even in the field. The Jeeps we were driving were from the 50s and I'm going to guess that one was from the 40s or 50s so it's getting on towards 100 years old. Not quite there yet but probably 75 anyway! Glad to see you brought it back and hopefully you'll keep working on it and get it back to 100%.
My father and his family worked on so many Willy's. The US left a lot of Willy's here in the Philippines, we did some work to it and made it our national public transport mode, the Jeepney. Loved this video so cinematic and relaxing
never commented on a youtube video before. I'm not a car guy and never will be. Mr. Fordman you are a special talent. Never stop doing what you were born to do. "Perfect." Thank you.
..and He said to Lazarus, "Get up, Lazarus!" and Lazarus arose. Such is Simon. He is like a messiah for the forgotten in the fields of ruin and the past. A boy blessed with the gift and skills to give new life to the abandoned. Only such a kind and patient person can have this gift. We see that in his heart there is love, both for the machines left to fate, and for the animals, and undoubtedly also for the neighbor. Thanks, Simon! Keep loving what you do!🍀
Everything, the title, the way it was filmed and edited and the tenacious, talented hard work that went into it. My favourite bit was him getting the gas axe out and making those wheels fit. Yeah!
The day this video dropped (day after Thanksgiving), my family and I sat and watched it together in the living room of our childhood home before we all had to split up to go back to where we each call home now. It was a tender silence, intermittently broken by my dad, my brother, and I laughing while you beat the crap out of this tank and also explaining to the rest of the family what you were doing (my dad taught us how to work on cars, his dad was an old Chevy mechanic). All this to say, thank you for the sweet hour and a half my family and I got to sit together. My whole family enjoyed the video. But my brother, his wife, and their one year old son also really enjoyed it!

No music, no words, all classes of the world you understand in the clips. Many thanks for the great effort. You are a great man and a good role model for young people. My greetings from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 🫡🇸🇦
This brings back good memories, 50 years my father bought a Jeep just like this one. At first site I thought he bought a mail truck. Got it out of the barn at a deer camp net to ours in Uvalde TX. It needed a lot of work but not this much. We had a lot of father and son projects over the years and fixing and painting the Jeep was great! I’m glad I saw your video.
This felt like a documentary yet not a SINGLE word was uttered. The Academy Award level videography was so satisfying until the very end. AMAZING job well done.
Huge respect for Simon he gets it done with no negative vibe. All willpower and fortitude with strong leadership on the jobs win loose or draw this is the channel to see. I've got more that 5000 videos I've watched on UA-cam and right now Simon is top shelf.
No music, no words, all classes of the world you understand in the clips. Many thanks for the great effort. You are a great man and a good role model for young people. My greetings from the iraq🇮🇶
Will also comment before watching 👍 I’ll say it again- most underrated channel on the inner webs, camera angles, editing, no talking nonsense and tops every video off with a cat/dog. Thank you Mr Fordman and fam/team
I wish other UA-camrs could understand that talking and playing music isn't what most of us are looking for but Simon gets it and has become my favorite channel to watch. I'm almost 60 and have worked on my fair share of vehicles in my life and know that feeling of satisfaction of making something right again and it's very entertaining to watch Simon do it as well. Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing what else you bring back to life. 👍🏻
I used one of those for security night hours key round in a large pipe yard for several months. The one I used was physically identical but was a 1960s version with the ford 223 six engine. To me transportation is a blessing, so never scoff at anything that runs and has wheels. My dad drove those as a postal letter carrier from 1958 all the way to 1982, but after around 1966 they issued them ambassador cars
Probably the best video, start to finish, I've seen on the internet. If a novice watches this video he/she will gain years of knowledge in an hour or so...excellent!!!
An update: just applied another trick from you. I used the way you re-flange the engine oil pan and get my transmission oil pan fixed nice, flat, and sealed on my transmission. Saved me a big amount of money! Will keep thumbs up for your hard work!
Этот канал должен собирать миллионы!!!! Парень просто волшебник! Отличный контент! Талантливый оператор! Интересные проекты!! Пора уже рекламировать химию и запчасти, чувак!!!
This video was a random youtube recommendation, but a good one! First of all: unbelievable you made not only the engine run bit also the wreck move! Most other videos of that kind stopped after the engine was running. Secondly, I love the style. The different cameras are a hell of a lot work to do, but they make the video so much more interesting. Also, “talking” through the subtitles is a pretty unique and effective way. No word wasted, yet perfectly clear to follow! Excellent work!
Just did the same thing.1962 cj5 setting over 10 yrs.Soaked the cylinders for a week with seafoam and turned it over by hand with a wrench.Then brought it back from the dead.
At your age, your problem-solving skills are next-level. I know men three times your age that wouldn't have any idea how to solve some of the issues that I've watched you tackle! Also, when you "massaged" those rims to fit the Jeep and then uttered "perfect," I could hear the pedants screaming! Masterful, my man! 😂
I just found this video and immediately subscribed for two reasons. 1. You know what you're doing. 2. You don't fill the video with mindless chatter, music, or splice in dumbass cut scenes from shows\movies. Wish you all the best with your channel!
This guy is hysterical! Love the subtle comedic touches with the cinematic storytelling. Putting the water cans back with disappointment after grabbing them with excitement, only to discover there isn't any water! LOL.! And the reverse threading incident. Absolutely been there!!
Certainly would build character . Kinda pulling off the impossible. I want to also comment on your closing. The poor little willys watches as you drive away, it’s sad little grill and headlight face so forlorn. That’s Oscar grade cinema dude.
Watched a few of your videos, First comment here. Outstanding!!! I love this kind of content, VGG, NNKH etc. The content, the camera placement, your know how and some of the absolute miracles you perform on in my opinion would be lost causes. The way you tell a story without words is awesome. I'm a gearhead too, mostly Mopar and Oldsmobile before. Love seeing these old Fords come back to life. Keep doing what your doing Simon, great channel bud, Cheers.
I spent this hour and a half of my life with great interest, watching how a young guy brings back the legendary CJ-3A from the dead, it was comparable to watching a movie, thank you 👍🏻
I have this same vehicle and the vin tag says DJ3A for delivery (like mail jeep). Just finished full restoration never seen another that is 4x4! 1960 model
watching my dad and my brothers and myself doing these things and now watching this video brings hope, frustration, anger determination and sorrow...I get anxious....love it.
I always love videos seeing these old beasts get a (often final) ride, getting to relive their glory days before they're finally put to bed. Great work, keep doing what you do!
Tip-Trick, when putting gas into carburetor take throttle and go wide open, then pour it. When you do this it opens butterflies and allows gas to go straight into the intake. Much quicker results this way I really love this channel, such awesome work
This is the content I want to watch on UA-cam,No unnecessary yapping just one man's dogged determined efforts to get a old soldier running again after a very long sleep!That last shot of the old girl being taken back by the darkness was unexpectedly poetic. l take my hat off to you good Sir 🙏👍
Gotta say, I really admire your determination to get this thing running considering the circumstances of the weather, and the condition of the vehicle itself. Using simply what you have, and not being in a garage with a "clean and sanitary" environment makes it even more impressive. Now I really want to get my free Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel running.
"Perfect" episode! Who'd have taken odds this thing would not only run but move under its own power. Burning the mice nests out of the water channels and that wheel fix... next-level!
You definitely have a gift of the Cinema Film Producer. I have never thought that I would watch this entire video as an Action Film. Gratulations to you!
I've watched all your videos and this one is the best one yet. Looks like you had a lot of fun on this one. Cinematography keeps getting better and better with every video Simon!
Dude that was so cool watching the whole video and getting to see that Willy get back to life...loved the cinematic snaps of the video and skills, thanks for sharing looking forward for the next one!
It's been a long time since I've watched such long videos from start to finish with such pleasure. To be so knowledgeable about technology, to be able to repair it effortlessly and to show it to the viewer in such an interesting way, you are simply talented. Looking forward to the new video.
I mean the jeep was far beyond what I would consider salvageable, it is a jeep that was left for dead in a field for “likely 40-50 years. Great work young man. Look every thing does not need to look or operate like a show room floor, sometimes you get more satisfaction by just getting it to run and drive again. Thank you for your time Mr ford man
in the first 5 minutes,he broke a whrench, his back,broke the pistons free and set the whole engine on FIRE...that definitely deserves a like...
Yep 👍👍
He broke two wrenches.😁
That's when I paused it to share with my old man. Knew it was a good one
He's a complete hack , ruined salvageable parts , kept parts then didn't post the video until the day after it was sold to a unsuspecting buyer who I know personally !

Agree with you about that
He's on a roll mate, I think he's in or about to hit exponential growth.
Couldn't agree more!!
be careful what you wish for, blowing up leads to quality drop and eventual automation.
Нет не будет падения , он простой парень Добрый и порядочный.
There isn't another tuber that I want one to reach 10mil subs as much as Simon. He is a gem.
Same, my dad told me about this guy. I've been telling everyone I know to watch him!
في اي بلاد انت
There is not much need for a narrator and I appreciate the fact this person obviously understands that.
That is because we undetand what is he doing, those who don't, will not see these videos
I can't decide what's more impressive-the mechanic skills or the cinematography! Absolute masterpiece on both fronts! 👍🏻

watching my dad and my brothers and myself doing these things and now watching this video brings hope, frustration, anger determination and sorrow...I get anxious....love it.
You’re giving away all the old timey tricks! I love it when I’m just one step ahead, makes it very entertaining!
It`s amazing how you bring the dead back to life not to mention your fabricating and patience on the work you do and your editing. Well done Simon👍
I started following you like two weeks ago and you’ve gained like 30-40k followers since. You’re doing something people love!
I have no words, amazing skills Simon. Thats a robust jeep.😻
Hats off to you Sir. You took your patience levels and recovered the dilapidated Jeep
It's difficult to describe a feeling when I saw her pistons moving the first time in this video, returning to life. Magnificent work.
I always love videos seeing these old beasts get a (often final) ride, getting to relive their glory days before they're finally put to bed. Great work, keep doing what you do!
The things that can be fixed by applying very hot fast fire is seemingly endless. Fully approved ✔
Tip-Trick, when putting gas into carburetor take throttle and go wide open, then pour it. When you do this it opens butterflies and allows gas to go straight into the intake. Much quicker results this way
I really love this channel, such awesome work
This is the content I want to watch on UA-cam,No unnecessary yapping just one man's dogged determined efforts to get a old soldier running again after a very long sleep!That last shot of the old girl being taken back by the darkness was unexpectedly poetic. l take my hat off to you good Sir 🙏👍
What a fantastic videography, could not fast forward the video even for a second; nothing less then a full movie.
Gotta say, I really admire your determination to get this thing running considering the circumstances of the weather, and the condition of the vehicle itself. Using simply what you have, and not being in a garage with a "clean and sanitary" environment makes it even more impressive. Now I really want to get my free Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel running.
the Primitive Technology channel but with cars. this is the best content on youtube right now, no kidding
"Perfect" episode!
Who'd have taken odds this thing would not only run but move under its own power.
Burning the mice nests out of the water channels and that wheel fix... next-level!
You definitely have a gift of the Cinema Film Producer. I have never thought that I would watch this entire video as an Action Film. Gratulations to you!
Это здорово, видеть как на твоих глазах оживает то что много лет было мертвым! Молодец парень.

This Willys is like: I was in the war, but even there I didn’t see this level of cruelty!
I'm so impressed with your perseverance
What an excellent revival of a piece of good old fashioned American automotive history. Well done!
this man is one determined human being...these are the best videos on UA-cam.
That is the most stuck, crusty ICE I've ever seen a revivalists tackle. Bravo!
I've watched all your videos and this one is the best one yet. Looks like you had a lot of fun on this one. Cinematography keeps getting better and better with every video Simon!
Нравится оживление машин👍 Все подробно интересно смотреть!
Dude that was so cool watching the whole video and getting to see that Willy get back to life...loved the cinematic snaps of the video and skills, thanks for sharing looking forward for the next one!
It's been a long time since I've watched such long videos from start to finish with such pleasure. To be so knowledgeable about technology, to be able to repair it effortlessly and to show it to the viewer in such an interesting way, you are simply talented. Looking forward to the new video.
brooo your channel starting to take off! Well deserved. Keep the great content coming!
Bro that was the most authentic first start I've ever seen on UA-cam, plus you she really old when the float in thar carb is made of brass
The Videos better than Netflix and co😅
Dear Simon, congratulations on your perseverance.
I mean the jeep was far beyond what I would consider salvageable, it is a jeep that was left for dead in a field for “likely 40-50 years. Great work young man. Look every thing does not need to look or operate like a show room floor, sometimes you get more satisfaction by just getting it to run and drive again. Thank you for your time Mr ford man
I like how you edited together torquing the head bolts like HowToBasic throws eggs.
