Ellie. You and your dad are awsome. I love your bright and cheerful demeanor. Keep up the good work your learning some very valuable lessons. Keep smiling.
Nice radio options now. When I installed a new radio with cassette in my 1964 Falcon Futura in 1978 they didn't have this and I had to hack up my dash to get the radio to fit
Ellie, Two observations as I'm in the process of installing the Redondo in my 64 with the plastic bezel dash. I noticed that you sanded down the side of the buttons but mine are chrome so I couldn't do that without seeing the chrome was removed. Also I noticed the bracket that came with the kit still had the lower mounting holes (where the buttons screw to) which moves the buttons out further. So I called retro and they said only the buttons needed to be sticking out of the bezel not the button housing and also he thought the extended mounting tab needed to be removed which I did. Not sure of the opening on the 65 bezel but I would have to remove between 3/16 and 1/4" of plastic for it to fit thru. I bring this up because there might be others with a 64 that want to use this radio and if there is a difference they could see before ordering the chrome version and they can read this after watching your video. Thanks!
When I was your age, radios this cool didn’t exist. Having said that, installing a radio was one of my first projects and it made the car “mine” congratulations on the successful installation!
I love this! Me and my son are building a 2000 Mustang. They don't realize they are leaning skills! I noticed I'm the 420th view on 4/20 in which is also my birthday! Love the channel!
I'm thinking about buying a early 60's Australian falcon (almost the same as yours) and I'd like to do the Holly sniper and retro sound head unit, thankyou for uploading these videos, their a fantastic easy to understand resource
Whenever i drill a bracket or any piece of metal i always have an old piece of wood handy which i put the bracket on and clamp the whole lot into the vice and then you can drill through into the wood and it stops the bracket from bending. Keep up the good work . The Falcon is looking fantastic .
Ellie - I just stumbled on your channel because I’m building a turbo’d 250 for my Falcon. You’re learning great skills! I started sweeping floors in an autoshop in 5th grade and by 6th grade was working as a mechanic. This early start led to college and an engineering degree. You’re getting some great experience that you can build on for the rest of your life! I’ll be waiting and watching for you to do great things in the future!
Ellie..... that's BEYOND impressive!!! You did a CUSTOM Stereo Install. So many great skills you've learned on this journey! Things that us Old Farts had to learn over years. And you've got a COOL system!! 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
Nice job on that. I would've used a radio like that in my Falcon,but before I got it someone hacked a big hole in the dash. I made a trim piece to cover the hole and used that to mount a regular stereo. Not as good,but it works and it looks better than a big hole. The main advantage is the radio slides in through the front so I don't have to get behind it.
Hi Ellis. I would like to install an am fm radio in my 1965 Futura. But I can't remove the bezel. I removed the screws from the top but there is something holding it at the bottom. How did you remove the bezel? Thank you Bob
Hello, Bob. I believe there are some plastic studs on the bottom of the radio bezel that have some of those thin, flat nuts that thread on the back. I think we were able to access them by reaching around from the glove box side or maybe reaching up from under the bottom side of the dash. I hope we're remembering that right and that it helps.
@@ElliesGarage Hi again Ellie. I got the bezel off. Thank you. Now I am having trouble picking a radio that will fit with the bezel. I am looking at different radios. I am looking at the USA230, USA630 and the USA740. some sellers say they will not fit. Some say they will fit. I looked at the Retro radios and there are so many and they don't say if the radios will fit. What model radio did you get? Thank you Bob
@@ElliesGarage Awesome. Can't wait to find out what color. I need to figure out how to put a floor pan in my Maverick then I can work on a paint color. I am thinking either gray with purple stripes , purple, or some kind of blue.
LOL, you guys are funny. Love the surprised look on both your faces when you turn it on for the first time. And yes Blue tooth or USB is the way to go. i have similar radios /media players in my cars , 2 of them still have CD players in them but with USB ports and that is what i use . Flash drive loaded with music . Love them. Great work and love the puppy .
Of course. We got the Redondo: www.retromanufacturing.com/collections/vehicle-search/products/1964-66-ford-falcon-redondo-rs-radio?variant=41987582525596
@@jamesdizerega2918 Actually, they're CRAZY functional. Depending on the mode they do different things. For Radio, they're your channel memory stations, for Bluetooth you can skip, play, pause with them. It's really a great setup. One of my favorite things about Carl.
I just got a retro sound radio for my 68 mustang but every time I accelerate or at random times the bluetooth either cuts off or the stereo turns off. It’s frustrating I can’t figure out what it is! And then i see smoke coming from under my car. I wonder if it’s a fuse? Any ideas of what if could be 🥲
What a beautiful display of a father/daughter bonding moment, thank you, so very much appreciated. 😢😢😢😢😢
You are so kind. Thank you so much!
Spread love
Ellie. You and your dad are awsome. I love your bright and cheerful demeanor. Keep up the good work your learning some very valuable lessons. Keep smiling.
Good job guys
Yep, definitely use a step drill bit on that next time you’re drilling thin sheet metal. Great job kiddo!
Yes! We had no idea, but that makes sense. Thank you for that tip! We'll be sure to do that next time. Thanks for the encouragement, too!!
It truly can't be considered a "project" until you get frustrated at least a dozen times.... lol Great job on the install.
Thanks so much!!
Step drill bit is your friend on thin metal
Great job
That's a great tip. We didn't even think of that, but we'll make sure we do that next time. Thank you for the help!!
I think a small maybe velvet trim glued to the back of the bezel to fill that space 🤔, might look smooth. Tiny rectangle. Or something

Well done! Retrosounds looks fantastic!
Thank you!!
Awesome! A good radio is worth the effort required to install it!
Great Job nice Radio Love it ❤️👍👍❤️
That’s so cool!! I have one to put in my 68 Torino. I’ve had it almost 3 years... I need to get to work, like you !!
Great work. Thinking about adding something similar to my Mustang at some point. Keep us posted on how it works over time.
We will! Thank you!!!
Music is great. A pleasure to watch as always. And we can’t forget Mr Carter😁🤣
I really enjoying seeing you folks in your videos! You should be very proud!
Thank you so much!

Great job, guys. I installed a RetroSound into my '65 Falcon, too. Love it.
Absolutely loved your jam session reaction! Bluetooth to go with your blue hair!
Are you guys doing power tour 2021?
We would love to come! Where and when will it be this year?
😁😁😁😁
That was really cool that you played your theme music. Where did you get your theme music?

Between all your friends and fans.
What ya might be looking for?

Please tell me the model of the radio you installed. I couldn’t tell which one from the Retro site. Thanks.
Of course. We got the Redondo:

what model stereo and where did you find it
The Retrosound links are in the description. I love my RetroSound radio!

Yikes. I would guess that it's a wiring/ground problem, but I'd definitely call RetroSound and talk to their technical support people.
would you mind sharing the model? i want one for my 65 wagon...you guys need to stop with the upgrades, you'e costing me a small fortune...
Ha. Sorry to make you spend money but you'll love it! Check out the description to see links to the radio and speakers as well.
DOES THE A.C. WORK IN UR FALCON ELLIE
Yes, it's actually a Vintage Air kit that was installed in the car when we bought it. Great to have it!
@@ElliesGarage YEAH IT IS!!! I IMAGINE UR OLD CAR GITS HOT IN SIDE!!!
