Put in a one piece floor and a trunk floor and gets some 1/8 th plate and plate the entire inside rocker to stiffen it up. Put a narrow 9 inch rear end with a 4 speed with a hot 289 like mine used to be.
Wawa's face shows every emotion she has and y'all seriously had her going. I sure hope she realizes it really wasn't her fault that hunk of junk fell apart Josh. You had her going for awhile. 😂😂😂 We ❤ Wawa
I was really shocked by the way Josh addressed WaWa....if you look into a car and you see a chain holding the car together....DONT BUY IT....Josh you devastated your daughter yelling at her for something not in her control.....I hope off camera you did apologized to WaWa

So nice to see Squeeze get more involved. She's finally found her car!! I think that this car should be her first project car and definitely has the artistic ability to make it look great again. I am so proud of her and how much she's come of her shell. I really think there's a mechanic inside her thats ready to come out and this is the car for her to do just that. If you want to work on cars Squeeze then go for it. Can't wait to see what she does with this car. Go Squeeze!!
It's nice to see how Squeeze little by little is getting into the projects more and more. Now that she has an airbrush, I hope that in the near future she will put her art on one of the cars. Hugs from Argentina.😁
In Wawa's defense....it wasn't her fault! Lol. If you scroll to 17:38 Josh clearly yelled "wait, wai, wai!" in like .02 seconds. She stopped in a reasonable human amount of time. You could tell she felt bad and even tried to apologize at least 3 times but nobody ever said..."It's ok Wa, it wasn't your fault". Poor Wawa lol. Well hey it made for a more interesting episode and we got to watch y'all straighten it out so that was really cool too. 2 thumbs up as always!
Seeing Ralphie welding reminds me when I use to practice on my dad’s Lincoln Stick welder. Ralphie is doing so good and that’s a proud father moment in time Josh.
My personal highlights: - WaWa gets her winch operator license - Granny & Rocky butting heads - Ralphie welding like a pro - Jamaal makes an appearance - Squeezy doin work!?! - Scooter providing security - Proud parents One of the best Sleeperdude videos so far.
I'm thinking 2.3 automatic disc brakes nice interior hot pink then squeeze will give it a 100/10 you have a lot of time before she could drive it but she dose like it
That wasn't Wawa's fault.....@18:14 nobody said "hohoho" or stop or anything, it just broke in half. Poor Wawa, you're all going to give her a complex.....I hope she knows it wasn't her fault.
It's great seeing an entire family doing car things together or for that matter in this day and age, it's great seeing an entire family doing ANYTHING TOGETHER. I am impressed with how much help Squeeze was with the cleanup and was surprised with the score she gave the car. And Ralphy did a lot too. For his age, his welding skills are outright amazing and are better than what some adults do. At the level of his welding now, by the time he is in highschool and can take welding in shop class, he will probably be a better welder than the teacher will be.
This is the best one yet. Wawa's little wave through the timber framework. When that car broke... priceless. Most of us know that Josh is just teasing her. Really enjoying this.
No where else will I sit still for an hour and a half and watch a video. Again you put out another fantastic video and are an amazing family. I really love Squeeze getting more involved, she only “checked out” in this video once 😂 . The ol Falcon already looks 100 times better can’t wait to see how it turns out.
We have been watching your channel for a couple years now and the growth of your business and your family is amazing. So refreshing to see parents that actually raise their kids instead of merely allowing them to grow up! This year, Squeezy is coming into her own and all 3 kids have remarkable personalities. This project is worthy of a complete restoration. A Futura/Sprint car would bring many dollars in todays market but might also be a perfect car for Squeezy, like Wawa's VW and Ralphy's Vette. Whatever you choose, we know it will be awesome!
I was thinking exactly the same about this car. Make it a Squeezy project and - as you said - a complete restoration. There's lots of times to finish it for her. And remember she gave it an 8 BEFORE!! cleaning it up
I’m wanting to see her paint Rocky on the side of one of the drag cars breathing fire and smoking a cigar or something. She’ll get that airbrush figured out!
Seeing that poor car break in half may have been the funniest moment to ever happen in Sleeperdude history! 😆😂That poor frame was only hanging on with hopes and dreams. Wawa's face was priceless!
I feel I need to pass some info on to Josh about the F150 in this video. When the steering column locks because of turning with no key, look on the bottom of the column for a small fairly deep hole. Gently press something in the hole until it bottoms out. The column will unlock. Maybe 3" to 4" deep, very small diameter like the size of a wire coat hanger.
I'm a locksmith and that does not work . The cylinder needs to before the cylinder will. If that person removed 4 cylinders out the way he said. It was a mistake in plugs key .the key needs to be turned
That hole is there for removing the switch only. You need to have the key so you can turn the switch to acc, then using whatever you found that fits inside the small hole (i like using a small screwdriver with the tip cut off) push up and pull the switch out. You have to the switch tuned to acc first though.
As someone who currently owns 3 of them trucks (and probably 2 dozen others over the years) you do need the key to roll the lock cylinder into the accessory position before the hole and pin will line up. Trying to shove something into the hole with the ignition locked in the off position isn't gonna accomplish anything. With that being said, in the past I have taken a small chisel and beat it into the key slot with a hammer a couple blows at a time, grab onto the chisel with a pair of pliers and try to turn it, if it doesn't turn then give it a couple more whacks with the hammer and try again, repeat the process until you can roll the ignition to accessory and then push the pin and pull the lock out. Obviously only do that to a truck that you own... It's a good way to get a torso full of buck shot otherwise. And of course you'll trip over the misplaced original keys immediately after butchering the lock cylinder 😂
Makes me so happy to see you save a Falcon I once had a 64 falcon sprint had the small little 260 in it me and my grandfather built it when I was in high school! It was given to me when he passed. A drunk driver hit me and destroyed it! I still believe the falcons are the best looking cars ford made! So hope you actually find a way to piece this together and give a falcon another life!!!
It's ALSO very cool to be seeing squeeze not slinking out so much. Her art is amazing and shes coming out of her shell! Not to mention wawa, she sure has gotten SO much more mechanically inclined i couldn't agree more it WAS hilarious when the car broke in half! 😂
@@Sleeperdude Josh, Squeeze marches to the tune of her own drummer and she makes us proud.I was wondering when a copperhead or cotton mouths snake would show up in one of your videos It's just a matter of time
@@Sleeperdude you're absolutely right Josh! She finally is and it's great to see. Don't be shy squeeze, everybody loves you and you're a staple here in this community ❤️
I DEFINITELY hope that you get the Falcon convertible running again.She's got good lines and bones.My hat's off to the whole family,even Scooter.Peace....
I love these little Falcons...my best friend in high school (1970s) had one, and what a sweet little car...love that unique styling....should be a fun build!
A hello from France, frankly you are a great family and I love watching your videos every week. I have to tell you that when I saw the loading of the car on the trailer, I laughed a lot and I think your daughter didn’t have much to do with it when the car broke in half, it had to happen. I think for once, you should restore it completely and make it the most beautiful convertible in the USA😉. Big kisses to the whole family.💋
Absolutely love the Falcon. Was hilarious when it folded, wouldn’t have if the door was closed (Josh ). Was happy to see Squeezie getting so involved. Just makes me smile to see this family and all the other fur kids enjoying each other. Can’t wait to see what you do to this gem. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍🇨🇦
Wawa you did everything right. In my opinion the drive caught the back and buckled the car. That’s why it was lower than the trailer. Plus you can hear the winch bog down you can tell it caught something. You’re a great winch operator Wawa.
Now this is the kind of video we all can get into. Can’t hardly wait to see the next episode for this car. Great job welding Ralphie! Poor Wawa, we love you and it wasn’t your fault at all. My favorite Squeezy is being more and more interested these days ❤ Great job Mom & Dad
Poor WaWa. She felt so bad and it wasn't even her fault. No way that car would have stayed together. With that being said that car deserves a full make over. It needs new metal, paint, interior, and a 302, with a 4 speed. Fo sho... impeccable.
Poor Wawa, that was Not her fault. 17:36 she was told to go for it, and it broke about 2 seconds later, then she was told to stop. And Then she was blamed for not stopping??? That's impeccable audacity right there lol.
Watched the video and it was a load of fun Josh! It was hilarious watching the poor girl fold in half when being towed up on the trailer, if that car could talk it would thank you a million times for bringing it back together. Honestly? The FrankenFalcon has a lot of potential, one new floors, proper welding and the rust have been all done, a 260 Challenger V8 which was offered for this generation of the Falcon could fit in or perhaps a 260 or 289 Windsor V8 from the second generation of the Falcon. Or if you want to just stick with the factory six cylinder, the world's your oyster. It will be fun seeing her put back together once all of the parts and metalwork/facbrication is done to her!
Squeeze is onto something. I know Ralphie did well in welding and Wawa did fine with the pressure washer, it was squeeze's vacuuming made me cry out loud with a "good job". Just when she volunteered to do the front because it was ASMR did I realize. It was mighty fulfilling see that trunk cleared off all those nasties. ASMR it is.
Josh, I think it's time for you to make a show car oit of an old relic. And I don't think you could find a more challenging classic than this one! Full interior, new functioning top, and a nice(at least a 10footer) paint job. Build one of the original 6ers, and get all the power you can get out of her! Custom ground cam, custom split header, and all nice and painted up under the hood. She needs a name, I'm thinking the Wah-Wah Split! LOL. or half n half. Thanks for sharing, I will say, you are setting the standard as to what a family should be like!
Wooohooooo 👏 best youtube family everrrrrrr And another favorite falcon video,thank you so much Josh😊 I was waiting for this one🙏🏻 Greetings from Holland ❤🇺🇲🎉😎🫡😊
Great video! Don't blame Wawa, The car had little to no support in the middle. It's nice to see the whole family working on that car. Thank you for sharing!😊
Josh dude, I really think you would be the perfect man to restore and customize these old classic cars ( I for 1 would be glued to my screen for every episode !) much love n respect from Australia!
Great project Falcon. Even with the crapoy cut work it was a great car to make into a perfect project. I would put a 5.0 in it. Turn it into a great cruiser with 5 lugs, the blue color on the back and 5 on the floor! Bucket seats , black interior. And black top.
Awesome episode guys! I'm enjoying your channel more and more. I wonder if Squeeze see's herself driving this car? Seems like she had a look in her eye! Great to see the whole family pitching in together.
Good save getting it back together. I say use your ford fest Falcon drive train in the convertible, which shall be named half off! Add subfram connectors. Use your 5.0 drive train in the hardtop, and maybe all the suspension. They both would be nice. You could leave the 3 on tree .😊
Love watching your family work together. So much fun. Great to see Squeeze showing interest in the Falcon 😊 Wawa , your dad was a little slow on the woh.😅
would really like to see you get the Falcon convertible back running and on the road. But at the same time i know it will be a real challenge. Either way, as usual, really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work
Dannnnng son! Ralphie is getting awfully good at welding. Super proud to see him soaking up all the knowledge you share with him! Love you ALL so much ❤
He is ain't he 🙂 As I watched him I thought about Jeffrey Lutz and Nikki Bobby,, they started just like Ralphie,, one stitch at a time. After 7 or 8 years he can be just as good a torch man as those two, lay'n dimes like they were slipped from a coin roll. YOU GO RALPHIE!!
Friggen “asmer” Josh, your dad jokes are priceless. Man, we can’t wait to see what you do with this thing. As Squeeze says, it’s got character. I’d personally love to see y’all do what you did to the Gremmie to this minus the wide open headers so it was streetable. I just think it could be a very cool driver with some body work, a quick and dirty paint job, and lots of power! Thanks for yet another great video!
You should call that car the "taco", because it folded like one. 😁 Once again great work by all involved. Ralphie is becoming a very skilled welder and its always great to see Squeezy join in. I'm very curious to see how this car turns out.
I’ve had two falcon convertibles in Australia. One was a futura other was a manual sprint. Seeing this car wants me to get another. I loved mine. That shifter looks like a factory four speed. Felt sorry for Wawa when the car broke. Love your videos. Can’t wait to see more content on this car.
I noticed that josh doesn't care much about the external look of the car, he is brilliant with improving the car’s performance, mechanics and electricity stuff for me I would prefer to see a beautiful view of the car. like full restoration to the factory. I think the viewers will love it too
I think this falcon could make a very cool street rod. Making that top work will be an epic amount of work and finding parts will be a nightmare but the satisfaction of getting that car straight and putting a nice 3-400hp 289-351 small block would make for a very quick little rod. That’s what I see. It’d be one of the coolest daily drivers at Fordfest.
It is so fun watching the whole family being involved in these projects. Besides fixing all the rust I say make it Triple Black with a 390 or 427 under the hood with a 5 speed and 9 inch rear. Disc brakes all around, sway bars, well you know good suspension. I guess you could do a 400, 401 or old school with a 312.
This is my far my favorite channel on UA-cam, I am so glad I came across it! My wife loves it, my daughter loves it, there's no profanity, and we all love the animals, especially Ellie! We have a border collie, and want to have an aussie that looks just like her! Thank you for making content like you do! Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving!
i love the patina but i think it would be a cool project for a budget paint job to match the original blue!! Loved to resto on the orange burnout car be cool to see another one like that but with the falcon!! love the videos!!!
Im thinking a 351C 4V or a 429/460, 5 spd. With how Squeeze rated the car, I am thinking that she really likes this one and maybe it should be her car, so I would recommend having her help plan it out and let her choose if it is kept in patina or gets shiny paint and if painted, what color to paint it. Give her the choices, and with her artistic abilities, have her draw it out and then do it in different colors.
You should probably thank her for splitting the car into two pieces. It makes for a great thumbnail that's going to bring a lot of new viewers to the channel.
Man looking at the weld flex just before it broke!! It was always going to happen :) Love how you guy deal with adversity. You are teaching your kids great values.
The car was held together by hopes, prayers and some mighty boogered welds, it’s no wonder she fell apart, Wawa was feeling so bad she was still talking about it at the end of the video, think you need to give that girl some love otherwise she’s gonna start hanging back and not touching things like she was before. The last guy that welded that car should come get some lessons from Ralphie he was really starting to stack some dimes there . And we all know working on cars isn’t Squeezy’s thing so when she gets in there and helps out think we just appreciate the effort and say thank you to her, she did a bang up job this episode cleaning up the car crawling in and popping the trunk,made that look nice, and maybe not airbrush the whole car but maybe some details around the door locks. As she’s getting older granny sure is taking an interest in the shop and all that goes on there, she’s a gentle soul and hopefully around for quite a while longer. Another fun one to watch hopefully you can find the other door to complete the car, take your time and make it safe.
I'm gonna stand up for Wawa! That car wouldn't have buckled if Josh hadn't opened the door! 😊 Squeezy really jumped in and gave 'er a good bit of work! I'm thinking that the "Squeez-mobile" is gonna be a lot of fun! Can't wait to see this come together!
@@CB-xr1eg 🤣🤣🤣 I know, I just had to defend that young lady! The look on her face when it collapsed was priceless, but also of, "Oh no, what have I done!"🤣
I’m glad y’all like the mint green color. My 1961 FoMoCo Comet is the same color but it’s called green frost. The four lug rear hubs would indicate that it’s a 170 six. I think y’all should explore the possibility of a (slightly modified 200) inline six as Ford intended!
Old school 302, automatic, floor pans, change out the brakes, rear-end, body work slap some old school light blue paint, interior, keep the convertible, rims and casings,. It would be a Sleeperdude for sure. No need to rush it.
Love the 63 Falcon convertibles, I think that they were the most beautiful of them all. Poor WAWA, you shouldn't have blamed her and made her think it was her fault for so long. She apologized a hundred times and felt so bad. I know that it would be a lot of work restoring the 63 but if Sqeeze thinks it is an 8 out of 10 then it is worth it. Love your family's involvement in all these projects and it keeps ya'll closer together as a family.
Poor Wawa.. she had a valid excuse (not to mention that thing was destined to break in half anyway).🤣 I was surprised to see Squeezy really getting into this one! I have a feeling she's going to have a killer sense of humor here in a year or 2!😉Good to see her getting some brush time in with her new airbrush setup! You guys did a pretty good job of welding that thing back together. With new floor pans, etc. it ought to be stronger than new when you get it done! I think it would be nice with a built 302, and drivetrain and suspension to match. I've never seen a convertible Falcon in the flesh, so they must be pretty rare birds.😄👍👍
seeing Your Falcon reminds me of my niece has a 1968 Cougar that was rearended. the body Shop found a perfect Color match car that had been in front end collision, They Cut and spliced the car You can't tell it ever had damage.
This was a hoot to watch y’all go pick it up. Definitely a team effort getting it pulled back together!!! Very cool project. Time to make a little SB Cruiser to straighten your hair out!!
We did that to a rust bucket Mustang II once, i hooked a ratchet strap to both a arms and each side of the rear end and it jacked the floor back up and together. Ditch the top, go roadster with partial drop on roof, vinyl floors and seats
Hello Josh, If you want to keep this patina and reduce its appearance on the trunk and some other parts, you can put a veil of blue on it, then lightly sand it and finally apply a satin varnish or oil. Varnish seems to me to be the safest bet to prevent the rust from continuing but it's up to you and your great team to decide 😉 Can't wait to see the engine you'll install and maybe enlarged housings on widened sheet metal rims with the dog dish cap Se sera fun, while maintaining an original look. Very good readjustment work. And kudos to Wawa for the separation.,😂 have a nice day😎 😂
Still love the fact that Wawa is so much like you and not afraid to get dirty and help out. I think this would be the perfect candidate for the 351 Windsor
You are living my dream in life enjoy your kids. I used to be a diesel mechanic until I broke my neck. You and your family make my day. Thank you for your family. I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Put a oversized oil cooler in wawas vw it work great I had 53 and Bajaed it. Thank you for your time.
@@MrRoseandrcI love riding down the old highways and seeing these old cars needing restoration the only thing is I see it sanded and sprayed with a clear coat survivor lol
Yeah maybe next time you move something like that. Wrap the toe cable around the rear end general will be pushing it together instead of trying to separated it
My neighbor has one. Same year and convertible. I ride by and admire it all the time. It's just the right color for a Falcon of that year. Soft white with black convertible top, red interior. Has the early Mustang type rims. perfect. And that gets my vote for yours. no other colors would look so classy.

Wawa, don't let your dad blame you. the car broke in half because he opened the door and the door was the only thing holding it together. 🤣
He said give it and she give it. 😂
True. Besides, I doubt the car was going to make it home in one piece anyways.
Public apology will be accepted. Own it Josh!😅😅
Wawa your Dad is the blame for that not you , he needs to man up and admit it’s his fault, he opened the door
lol sooo right ,,poor kid getting all that blame
You gotta admit, the Falcon loading incident is absolute video gold! :)
For sure
' shirley'🤣
Wawa's face shows every emotion she has and y'all seriously had her going. I sure hope she realizes it really wasn't her fault that hunk of junk fell apart Josh. You had her going for awhile. 😂😂😂

Yeah she can’t hide her emotions
Start you a casing machine sponsor like mortske has battery sponsor

I think this Falcon is deserving of a restoration. Since Squeeze gave it an 8 out of 10 maybe she might want it.
Maybe so
I thought she might be claiming it.
Maybe if Squeeze got to paint it to make it her own, she'd be all in for it being her daily when she gets older
Ha! Well, Josh, it's a hood thing you're a professional body man!! 😅
I'm thinking 2.3 automatic disc brakes nice interior hot pink then squeeze will give it a 100/10 you have a lot of time before she could drive it but she dose like it
I love the fact that Squeezy walks her own path. She’s an individual and It’s great to be different 😊
I really do admire anybody that's like that. I'm the same way.
That wasn't Wawa's fault.....@18:14 nobody said "hohoho" or stop or anything, it just broke in half. Poor Wawa, you're all going to give her a complex.....I hope she knows it wasn't her fault.

As someone who currently owns 3 of them trucks (and probably 2 dozen others over the years) you do need the key to roll the lock cylinder into the accessory position before the hole and pin will line up. Trying to shove something into the hole with the ignition locked in the off position isn't gonna accomplish anything.
With that being said, in the past I have taken a small chisel and beat it into the key slot with a hammer a couple blows at a time, grab onto the chisel with a pair of pliers and try to turn it, if it doesn't turn then give it a couple more whacks with the hammer and try again, repeat the process until you can roll the ignition to accessory and then push the pin and pull the lock out.
Obviously only do that to a truck that you own... It's a good way to get a torso full of buck shot otherwise. And of course you'll trip over the misplaced original keys immediately after butchering the lock cylinder 😂
Makes me so happy to see you save a Falcon I once had a 64 falcon sprint had the small little 260 in it me and my grandfather built it when I was in high school! It was given to me when he passed. A drunk driver hit me and destroyed it! I still believe the falcons are the best looking cars ford made! So hope you actually find a way to piece this together and give a falcon another life!!!
Wow I bet that was a nice car. Sad it got wrecked
It is a wonderful thing to watch the whole family having fun together. Bringing back the old and forgotten.
It's ALSO very cool to be seeing squeeze not slinking out so much. Her art is amazing and shes coming out of her shell! Not to mention wawa, she sure has gotten SO much more mechanically inclined i couldn't agree more it WAS hilarious when the car broke in half! 😂
Yep she is coming around I think
@@Sleeperdude Josh, Squeeze marches to the tune of her own drummer and she makes us proud.I was wondering when a copperhead or cotton mouths snake would show up in one of your videos It's just a matter of time
@@Sleeperdude you're absolutely right Josh! She finally is and it's great to see. Don't be shy squeeze, everybody loves you and you're a staple here in this community ❤️
It was funny
I DEFINITELY hope that you get the Falcon convertible running again.She's got good lines and bones.My hat's off to the whole family,even Scooter.Peace....
I love these little Falcons...my best friend in high school (1970s) had one, and what a sweet little car...love that unique styling....should be a fun build!
Yeah for sure
A hello from France, frankly you are a great family and I love watching your videos every week. I have to tell you that when I saw the loading of the car on the trailer, I laughed a lot and I think your daughter didn’t have much to do with it when the car broke in half, it had to happen. I think for once, you should restore it completely and make it the most beautiful convertible in the USA😉. Big kisses to the whole family.💋
Absolutely love the Falcon. Was hilarious when it folded, wouldn’t have if the door was closed (Josh ). Was happy to see Squeezie getting so involved. Just makes me smile to see this family and all the other fur kids enjoying each other. Can’t wait to see what you do to this gem. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍🇨🇦
Wawa you did everything right. In my opinion the drive caught the back and buckled the car. That’s why it was lower than the trailer. Plus you can hear the winch bog down you can tell it caught something. You’re a great winch operator Wawa.
Now this is the kind of video we all can get into. Can’t hardly wait to see the next episode for this car. Great job welding Ralphie! Poor Wawa, we love you and it wasn’t your fault at all. My favorite Squeezy is being more and more interested these days ❤ Great job Mom & Dad
Poor WaWa. She felt so bad and it wasn't even her fault. No way that car would have stayed together. With that being said that car deserves a full make over. It needs new metal, paint, interior, and a 302, with a 4 speed. Fo sho... impeccable.
Frame held together by a hook & turnbuckle. On our dern leash...love that southern talk! Josh is so goofy! Makes me laugh and my day!
Poor Wawa, that was Not her fault. 17:36 she was told to go for it, and it broke about 2 seconds later, then she was told to stop. And Then she was blamed for not stopping??? That's impeccable audacity right there lol.
Its totally Awesome that you get the Family involved with these projects. Welding,Mechanics etc. Bravo.
I'd love to see you and your family do a complete restoration of that car. Stick in a 4 on the floor with a hyper 289❤
Watched the video and it was a load of fun Josh! It was hilarious watching the poor girl fold in half when being towed up on the trailer, if that car could talk it would thank you a million times for bringing it back together.
Honestly? The FrankenFalcon has a lot of potential, one new floors, proper welding and the rust have been all done, a 260 Challenger V8 which was offered for this generation of the Falcon could fit in or perhaps a 260 or 289 Windsor V8 from the second generation of the Falcon. Or if you want to just stick with the factory six cylinder, the world's your oyster.
It will be fun seeing her put back together once all of the parts and metalwork/facbrication is done to her!
Yeah it’s a cool little car. Thank you
Squeeze is onto something. I know Ralphie did well in welding and Wawa did fine with the pressure washer, it was squeeze's vacuuming made me cry out loud with a "good job". Just when she volunteered to do the front because it was ASMR did I realize. It was mighty fulfilling see that trunk cleared off all those nasties. ASMR it is.
Josh, I think it's time for you to make a show car oit of an old relic. And I don't think you could find a more challenging classic than this one! Full interior, new functioning top, and a nice(at least a 10footer) paint job. Build one of the original 6ers, and get all the power you can get out of her! Custom ground cam, custom split header, and all nice and painted up under the hood. She needs a name, I'm thinking the Wah-Wah Split! LOL. or half n half. Thanks for sharing, I will say, you are setting the standard as to what a family should be like!
Wooohooooo 👏 best youtube family everrrrrrr
And another favorite falcon video,thank you so much Josh😊
I was waiting for this one🙏🏻
Greetings from Holland
❤🇺🇲🎉😎🫡😊
Thank you hope you enjoy
Great video! Don't blame Wawa, The car had little to no support in the middle. It's nice to see the whole family working on that car. Thank you for sharing!😊
The early Falcons are really worth saving...love those cars. ❤ great job guys...😊
Josh dude, I really think you would be the perfect man to restore and customize these old classic cars ( I for 1 would be glued to my screen for every episode !) much love n respect from Australia!
Great project Falcon. Even with the crapoy cut work it was a great car to make into a perfect project. I would put a 5.0 in it. Turn it into a great cruiser with 5 lugs, the blue color on the back and 5 on the floor! Bucket seats , black interior. And black top.
Awesome episode guys! I'm enjoying your channel more and more. I wonder if Squeeze see's herself driving this car? Seems like she had a look in her eye! Great to see the whole family pitching in together.
Squeeze should build this into her car, patina'd, 4 speed, inline 6, EFI...
It's great to see Squeeze getting more involved all of a sudden. I love the whole family.
she's coming out of her shell. not too camera shy anymore.
This project just got that much better❤ I have faith in you sleeperdudes and dudettes! You can rebuild it!!!!!!
Thank you
Good save getting it back together. I say use your ford fest Falcon drive train in the convertible, which shall be named half off! Add subfram connectors. Use your 5.0 drive train in the hardtop, and maybe all the suspension. They both would be nice. You could leave the 3 on tree .😊
This sounds like a great plan for a squeezy car and the falcons.
Fyi: the V8 Falcons in 63 had the 5 lug wheels, same as the Fairlanes and the Mercury Meteors. Love these old Falcons.
Love watching your family work together. So much fun. Great to see Squeeze showing interest in the Falcon 😊 Wawa , your dad was a little slow on the woh.😅
would really like to see you get the Falcon convertible back running and on the road.
But at the same time i know it will be a real challenge.
Either way, as usual, really enjoy your channel.
Keep up the good work
Dannnnng son! Ralphie is getting awfully good at welding. Super proud to see him soaking up all the knowledge you share with him! Love you ALL so much ❤
He is ain't he 🙂 As I watched him I thought about Jeffrey Lutz and Nikki Bobby,, they started just like Ralphie,, one stitch at a time. After 7 or 8 years he can be just as good a torch man as those two, lay'n dimes like they were slipped from a coin roll. YOU GO RALPHIE!!
I think WaWa was impressed with Ralphie's welding.@@quickdeuce
Friggen “asmer” Josh, your dad jokes are priceless. Man, we can’t wait to see what you do with this thing. As Squeeze says, it’s got character. I’d personally love to see y’all do what you did to the Gremmie to this minus the wide open headers so it was streetable. I just think it could be a very cool driver with some body work, a quick and dirty paint job, and lots of power! Thanks for yet another great video!
🤣🤣🤣 thank you
You should call that car the "taco", because it folded like one. 😁 Once again great work by all involved. Ralphie is becoming a very skilled welder and its always great to see Squeezy join in. I'm very curious to see how this car turns out.
Yeah that would be a good name 🤣🤣
This Ford Falcon deserves a more appropriate name, like the Blue Diamond.
I’ve had two falcon convertibles in Australia. One was a futura other was a manual sprint. Seeing this car wants me to get another. I loved mine. That shifter looks like a factory four speed. Felt sorry for Wawa when the car broke. Love your videos. Can’t wait to see more content on this car.
Thank you
Love your families videos. You all are fun to watch. Full restore and paint it that blue lol.
I noticed that josh doesn't care much about the external look of the car, he is brilliant with improving the car’s performance, mechanics and electricity stuff for me I would prefer to see a beautiful view of the car. like full restoration to the factory. I think the viewers will love it too
I think this falcon could make a very cool street rod. Making that top work will be an epic amount of work and finding parts will be a nightmare but the satisfaction of getting that car straight and putting a nice 3-400hp 289-351 small block would make for a very quick little rod. That’s what I see. It’d be one of the coolest daily drivers at Fordfest.
Yes it would be cool
It is so fun watching the whole family being involved in these projects.
Besides fixing all the rust I say make it Triple Black with a 390 or 427 under the hood with a 5 speed and 9 inch rear. Disc brakes all around, sway bars, well you know good suspension. I guess you could do a 400, 401 or old school with a 312.
That would be awesome
This is my far my favorite channel on UA-cam, I am so glad I came across it! My wife loves it, my daughter loves it, there's no profanity, and we all love the animals, especially Ellie! We have a border collie, and want to have an aussie that looks just like her! Thank you for making content like you do! Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving!
i love the patina but i think it would be a cool project for a budget paint job to match the original blue!! Loved to resto on the orange burnout car be cool to see another one like that but with the falcon!! love the videos!!!
Im thinking a 351C 4V or a 429/460, 5 spd. With how Squeeze rated the car, I am thinking that she really likes this one and maybe it should be her car, so I would recommend having her help plan it out and let her choose if it is kept in patina or gets shiny paint and if painted, what color to paint it. Give her the choices, and with her artistic abilities, have her draw it out and then do it in different colors.
Don't panic can be put back together by inserting metal inside
The frame rails first then weld body back together.
You should probably thank her for splitting the car into two pieces. It makes for a great thumbnail that's going to bring a lot of new viewers to the channel.
Yeah your right
Always a good day to watch sleeperdude and family. Keep up the good work. And God bless you all 🙏
What a great find….. all those falcons!!! I need a back half too!!!!
👍👍👍👍
Man looking at the weld flex just before it broke!! It was always going to happen :) Love how you guy deal with adversity. You are teaching your kids great values.
Yeah for sure
The car was held together by hopes, prayers and some mighty boogered welds, it’s no wonder she fell apart, Wawa was feeling so bad she was still talking about it at the end of the video, think you need to give that girl some love otherwise she’s gonna start hanging back and not touching things like she was before. The last guy that welded that car should come get some lessons from Ralphie he was really starting to stack some dimes there . And we all know working on cars isn’t Squeezy’s thing so when she gets in there and helps out think we just appreciate the effort and say thank you to her, she did a bang up job this episode cleaning up the car crawling in and popping the trunk,made that look nice, and maybe not airbrush the whole car but maybe some details around the door locks. As she’s getting older granny sure is taking an interest in the shop and all that goes on there, she’s a gentle soul and hopefully around for quite a while longer. Another fun one to watch hopefully you can find the other door to complete the car, take your time and make it safe.
poor Wawa thinking it was her fault splittin the car in half🤣
🤣🤣🤣
It WAS her fault though 😅
🤣@@Juntasification
I've watch every single video you have posted and I look forward to it every week!
Thank you so much
I'm gonna stand up for Wawa! That car wouldn't have buckled if Josh hadn't opened the door! 😊
Squeezy really jumped in and gave 'er a good bit of work! I'm thinking that the "Squeez-mobile" is gonna be a lot of fun! Can't wait to see this come together!
Nobody really blames Wawa, it clearly wasn't her fault and Josh knows that as do the rest of the family.
@@CB-xr1eg 🤣🤣🤣
I know, I just had to defend that young lady! The look on her face when it collapsed was priceless, but also of, "Oh no, what have I done!"🤣
YA Josh
You guys are all amazing love the way you all work together on the car and Ralphie welding it that's awesome!!
Man, I think Squeezy's cruise last week really made an impact. I've never seen her so engaged in the family auto stuff. Great to see!
Woooohooo I love when you upload a new video on Friday! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Don't worry about it, Wawa. I think a hard sneeze would have broke that thing apart.
For sure
Totally not WaWa’s fault! She was doing what she was told. Hang in there Wa!! 😊
I’m glad y’all like the mint green color. My 1961 FoMoCo Comet is the same color but it’s called green frost.
The four lug rear hubs would indicate that it’s a 170 six.
I think y’all should explore the possibility of a (slightly modified 200) inline six as Ford intended!
Old school 302, automatic, floor pans, change out the brakes, rear-end, body work slap some old school light blue paint, interior, keep the convertible, rims and casings,. It would be a Sleeperdude for sure. No need to rush it.
Love the 63 Falcon convertibles, I think that they were the most beautiful of them all. Poor WAWA, you shouldn't have blamed her and made her think it was her fault for so long. She apologized a hundred times and felt so bad. I know that it would be a lot of work restoring the 63 but if Sqeeze thinks it is an 8 out of 10 then it is worth it. Love your family's involvement in all these projects and it keeps ya'll closer together as a family.
Yeah she know we were joking
Poor Wawa.. she had a valid excuse (not to mention that thing was destined to break in half anyway).🤣 I was surprised to see Squeezy really getting into this one! I have a feeling she's going to have a killer sense of humor here in a year or 2!😉Good to see her getting some brush time in with her new airbrush setup!
You guys did a pretty good job of welding that thing back together. With new floor pans, etc. it ought to be stronger than new when you get it done! I think it would be nice with a built 302, and drivetrain and suspension to match. I've never seen a convertible Falcon in the flesh, so they must be pretty rare birds.😄👍👍
Wow! You're raising amazing kids! Love you guys.
Thank you so much!
seeing Your Falcon reminds me of my niece has a 1968 Cougar that was rearended. the body Shop found a perfect Color match car that had been in front end collision, They Cut and spliced the car You can't tell it ever had damage.
This was a hoot to watch y’all go pick it up. Definitely a team effort getting it pulled back together!!! Very cool project. Time to make a little SB Cruiser to straighten your hair out!!
Love watching you guys motivates me to run my business and keep time for my family
I'd love to see you do a full repaint and this car seems a great candidate since that factory blue it had would look awesome.
We did that to a rust bucket Mustang II once, i hooked a ratchet strap to both a arms and each side of the rear end and it jacked the floor back up and together. Ditch the top, go roadster with partial drop on roof, vinyl floors and seats
I’m with Ralphie on the F150. I had a Brick as my first truck at 16. Loved it but it was quite needy. Taught me a lot though.
Hello Josh, If you want to keep this patina and reduce its appearance on the trunk and some other parts, you can put a veil of blue on it, then lightly sand it and finally apply a satin varnish or oil. Varnish seems to me to be the safest bet to prevent the rust from continuing but it's up to you and your great team to decide 😉 Can't wait to see the engine you'll install and maybe enlarged housings on widened sheet metal rims with the dog dish cap Se sera fun, while maintaining an original look. Very good readjustment work. And kudos to Wawa for the separation.,😂 have a nice day😎 😂
Thank you
Whoopsies 😄. Hey at least it wasn't ripped in half and is repairable. Can't wait to see this one back to life
For sure
If you get that car going, then your definitely the GOAT
That’s funny
Still love the fact that Wawa is so much like you and not afraid to get dirty and help out. I think this would be the perfect candidate for the 351 Windsor
That's nice kids and dad work on projects like this together, first to got to have a lot of money to afford all this.
You are living my dream in life enjoy your kids. I used to be a diesel mechanic until I broke my neck. You and your family make my day. Thank you for your family. I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Put a oversized oil cooler in wawas vw it work great I had 53 and Bajaed it. Thank you for your time.
WaWa didn’t do anything wrong! You should have had a clue when you found the front and back of the car chained together, LOL!
Yep your right
You should put that convertable on a 4 wheel drive frame. Would be a awesome family cruiser.
That would be neat
😂😂😂😂always restore would be a neat
@@MrRoseandrcI love riding down the old highways and seeing these old cars needing restoration the only thing is I see it sanded and sprayed with a clear coat survivor lol
Ralphie looks more and more like Josh every week. That is one handsome family.
For sure
Yeah maybe next time you move something like that. Wrap the toe cable around the rear end general will be pushing it together instead of trying to separated it
Yeah maybe so
My neighbor has one. Same year and convertible. I ride by and admire it all the time. It's just the right color for a Falcon of that year. Soft white with black convertible top, red interior. Has the early Mustang type rims. perfect. And that gets my vote for yours. no other colors would look so classy.
Ok thanks
Woohoo! I can't wait to see what happens with this one. Good luck Sleeperdude family
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude you're welcome
I thought Squeezie was going to hurt herself shaking her head just after the car broke in half going up onto the trailer😂!
🤣🤣🤣
