That 58 Ford you bought is the exact mate that the parents of my best buddy purchased in 1958. even to the turquoise paint but I think it was a V8. My BUDDY is now 79 years old and I am 80.
That tired old Ford still had enough life in her to show us that things were made to last in the 50’s. Really good video with you, a 58 Ford and Pablo.
Of all the youtubers "will it run" videos , I like yours the best Brent , you don't constantly repeat the "we are gonna get this blah blah running thats been parked since 1812 and drive 50,000 miles to Antartica , its just you chillin working and having fun
When i saw the 223 six cylinder in there i knew it was going to run.the parts in the trunk was a bit concerning but as you said maybe they were planning on giving it a rebuild.great video as always.and i wish our dogs were half as cool as Pablo.
I’m in my late 60’s and remember those fords when i was a kid. I love seeing the old drum brake issues of my youth. I have gotten used to disk brakes but still keep my old drum brake tools including my cylinder hone and 2 spare sets of stones. Cant give up on the old cars till we run out of parts to repair them! Thanks for sharing this classic!
My late Maternal Grandparents bought a Red and White 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Fordor, new, back in 1958! Grandmother drove that car until 1969, when they replaced it with a brand new White 1969 Ford Galaxie Fordor! Ford used to call two door cars "Tudor", and the four door cars "Fordor" cars. I enjoyed this episode, love seeing Pablo getting to cruise with you, Brent!
You don't see that year, make and model very often.. looks good going down the road, patina is just right. You got her limping back to life always good to see
That is the fun part of doing these "will it run and drive" videos when you investigate as to what is causing a problem. It is satisfying to figure out why a part fails and fixing it as with that starter Bendix. It seems as though once you got the valve train working and the engine has been running, it seems to run pretty good. That is a good six cylinder engine from Ford. That carburetor is a Holley carburetor with the thick glass bowl where you can actually see the float level. My Dad owned a 1955 International R120 series and it had the same carburetor. I remember looking at it when I was a little kid. That and the painted red valve cover (Dad always cleaned up everything and would paint parts) got me bit with the mechanical bug, a bug I have had for years.
Brent, nice solo car rescue! Congrats! No worries re: the junk in the trunk, it's just a reminder that you probably have an LS in your stash! I had a Canadian 57 Ford 4 door V8 stick in Seattle in 1974 and it served two owners after me. In Nevada in 1971 I bought a very clean original US made Ford 4 door for $185 with a 3 speed stick and a factory T-Bird Interceptor V8, 4 barrel, dual exhausts and a near perfect original white over yellow paint scheme! Don't let the price fool you, it was a great looking and running ride! Good luck with your 58!
Love the car! Your dog has a lot of character too. I’m sorry I haven’t been on top of everything you have going on lately but still love your videos!❤️
Hi Brent and Esther, I had a white 58 Ford 352 Interceptor engine. Mine was an automatic trany.It was quite fast but not from the line. The era of couch seats! The GMC Roadster looks great!!Very glad you got to running! As always, God bless and take care from your long-time California subscriber 🙏 🤲
Love the old cars had a 56 Fairlane when I was 17 it was a 6 cylinder 36 ,ooo miles bought from a friend cheap loved that car . This brought back memories. Thanks Brent alwas great watching you work on these old car.
I did not realize that the 1958 had rear fins just like the 1963 Fairlane, I think I like the taillight covers are cooler on your car. The older cars and trucks had some really good body designs. Good one!
I'd spray engine parts in the trunk down with fluid film (or eq.) and store 'em inside to keep the rust off. Great job on this, wish the floors were better shape, cuz I love a three on the tree w/a six popper.
That 9" rear fits under a first gen mustang perfectly--great upgrade !! Check for a metal tag on one of the bolts,it will tell you the ratio of it !! A 6-stick might have a 4-11 in it !!
Love seeing Pablo go out on his rides. Brent got a question for ya... When are you going to work on "Franken-Coop" car again? Since now you have your neon green truck done, another project done here today and a brand new work shop, ya see what I mean about your "Franken-Coop" ??
I was born in '57 and my uncle had a junkyard he just had built it when I was three or four years old I worked down there all of my young life and learn lots of things I suppose you did too thanks for your videos
Great video fond memories of the 58 Ford when I was in high school my brother had and I used to drive it great Cruiser I wish I had it today and it was a four-door it was a two-tone brown color thanks for your videos
My Dad's first car was a 58 Fairlane. He told me it leaked like a civ and needed a quart of transmission fluid and two quarts of oil every fill up but ran like a top otherwise lol. He's been gone for almost 8 years so I thank you for posting this and bringing back some memories.
This is what I like the most of your videos: Bringing an old car home and make it run. Always a good lafther when you make it work. Thank you from Norway!
Wow, this brings back memories. In school, learning to rebuild starters and generators. Some where I have a textbook on the subject. That and owning a 58 Edsel. Happy to see you get it sort of running and stopping.
Brent jumped right back into a new project. I like the 1958 Ford. You da Man. Something that old is going to have host of problems. But there’s none better than you. You got a car to flip if you want. Love ya brother. 💯💕👊👍
You amaze me. Other channels would have thrown in the towel with 2 dead cylinders. All the glass looks good, extra parts for the shelf, looks like all the trim is there, and Pablo got to go for a ride.👍. Thanks for another great video.
Wow , That 58 Ford turned out to be a little gem , A diamond in the rough , so to speak . A little sketchy at the beginning but easy to work on and now back road drivable . Love that factory paint , It looks like its found a home . Thanks for the video , Stuart in Ontario ..
After a BIG build, nothing beats joy like a throwback will-it-run - and this one harkens back to your best ones from way-back-when. As a matter of fact, this '58 Ford is a spiritual twin to the '58 Pontiac, two rides that deserve some good rat rod treatment and floors. No paint, no gussied-up frills, no upgrades - just DIY / path-of-least-resistance floors, brakes, lights, Mexican blanket seat covers and GREAT patina goodness. Those two '58s would be the pride and joy of any runner's row fleet - cheers!!!
This is what Halfass is about, giving throwaways a second chance . . . we oldies easily relate
Brent, you are part of a lost breed. You have that "old timer" knowledge and know-how. Always enjoy your videos.
Best part Pablo going for a ride can’t beat that
Good old-school mechanical skills and determination! Great to see. Plus 21st-century tools. And a healthy store of rusty parts. What a life.
I'm not sure just how many 1958 Fords are still around Brent, but I'm glad you snagged this one up. Cars back then were built solid.
That 58 Ford you bought is the exact mate that the parents of my best buddy purchased in 1958. even to the turquoise paint but I think it was a V8. My BUDDY is now 79 years old and I am 80.
That tired old Ford still had enough life in her to show us that things were made to last in the 50’s. Really good video with you, a 58 Ford and Pablo.
And the General!
Except that Rust-proofing was an option.
Working and Pablo is happy, as always thumbs Up 👌👍
Nice to see "The General" back on duty. Thanks for sharing.
I can't think of anyone that does these better than you. Thanks for sharing.
Of all the youtubers "will it run" videos , I like yours the best Brent , you don't constantly repeat the "we are gonna get this blah blah running thats been parked since 1812 and drive 50,000 miles to Antartica , its just you chillin working and having fun
They often say what they plan to do, film doing it, and then say what they did. Brent does a good job of keepin things rollin 👍
Just good old fashioned wrenching, old school style. No BS.
Well that's your opinion. I mean mortske repairs videos are just as good if not better than this. Hell even pole barn garage videos are good
Nice old Ford, Brent. Little TLC and she would be a keeper. 👍 Take care and stay safe.
Skill, experience, persistance, a pile of used parts and "its a running and driving car". Perfect!
Brent I'm 68 you do things just like my dad did Great video thank you
When i saw the 223 six cylinder in there i knew it was going to run.the parts in the trunk was a bit concerning but as you said maybe they were planning on giving it a rebuild.great video as always.and i wish our dogs were half as cool as Pablo.

Thanks for sharing this classic!
Brent , you are a marvel. Bing bang boom, another one lives again.
Amazing how these old car really want to run! Always learn something when I watch your channel.
Old Fords never die. They just take a nap sometimes till someone wakes em up.
I love these will it run and drive videos, especially on the old cars.
The self bleeding feature was very funny Thanks for your seance of Humer.
Another great video Brent !!! Thank you!
Brent it is just great that you just laugh at all the obstacles and carry on regardless. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Not really a petrol head but I love your 50/60/70’s American cars, respect from England 🏴
it would be a perfect budget build. body work, floors, electrical, paint. would make a nice show car.
My late Maternal Grandparents bought a Red and White 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Fordor, new, back in 1958! Grandmother drove that car until 1969, when they replaced it with a brand new White 1969 Ford Galaxie Fordor! Ford used to call two door cars "Tudor", and the four door cars "Fordor" cars.

patina is just right. You got her limping back to life always good to see
Pablo is great!! Glad he got to go for a ride. :-)
Well that was fun, it ran pretty darn good in the end. Thanks Brent.
Cool car. Love my Fords. I think that's a Custom 300 . It has the shorter quarter panels. I had one that I fixed up and sold.😊

Love the patina and color combo
Long nice show ! Chikken wings-fried potato - tasty bread and a deep chair to sit in while eating and watcing this in slow speed. sooo perfect !! 😊😊😊

Love the car one of my favorite colors got a blown head gaskets when you got two dead cylinders keep up the good work brother
Sweet ride you and Pablo, glade to see the old ford drive again!
That's perfect music for a ride in a 58 Ford. Thanks Brent.
I see favorite pickup sitting on the lift next to a Ford there. I love those Apache pickups
Great video Brent!
That a good video for sure and Pablo got a good ride.
It is VERY CLEAR Pablo LOVES riding in that truck!
Great patina. Pablo is a Ford guy after all.

That cool Karl just repaired those fenders too funny
Looks like a great deal. Love seeing the old Fords back on the road. Look forward to seeing what you do with this one. Be safe and stay well.
Love the 58 when I was growing up my mother bought a new 58 ranch wagon,I took my driving test in it. Thank you for the content

Good old Ford breathing again 2:08 , the old General doing it's thing getting another home
You never cease to amaze me, Brent. You take some broken down old engine and summon it back to life, when most people wouldn’t dare to bother.
Great job, Brent - as usual. Always enjoy your “will it run/drive” videos. I think you should teach Pablo how to drive and give him the ‘58.
Love to see you do a complete refurbish on that old ford. including paint job. Steve
I'd spray engine parts in the trunk down with fluid film (or eq.) and store 'em inside to keep the rust off.
Great job on this, wish the floors were better shape, cuz I love a three on the tree w/a six popper.
rockauto has the master cylinder and repair kit great work love watching every thing you do stay safe have fun
Nice find! That Pablo is always ready for a ride! 👍😎

That's cool. Didn't think it would work out so nice.👍
Thanks!
Only you can take a dead car and bring it back to life. Thanks Brent for the video
You and Pablo should do a video with Mortskie and Duff that would be awesome.
That 9" rear fits under a first gen mustang perfectly--great upgrade !! Check for a metal tag on one of the bolts,it will tell you the ratio of it !! A 6-stick might have a 4-11 in it !!
Love seeing Pablo go out on his rides. Brent got a question for ya... When are you going to work on "Franken-Coop" car again? Since now you have your neon green truck done, another project done here today and a brand new work shop, ya see what I mean about your "Franken-Coop" ??

Brent you are the man. Getting the 58 Ford to run and drive. Nice job.
Great video fond memories of the 58 Ford when I was in high school my brother had and I used to drive it great Cruiser I wish I had it today and it was a four-door it was a two-tone brown color thanks for your videos
Another great video ! Thanks for bringing these cars back to life and share that with us !
Not only your Will it Run episodes are great,,so it's your drone footage with the music selection
Very cool, nice to see some ford,s in your new shop. Great job buddy.

Brent friggin amazing how much you have been able to get this running
Man, I hope you take that rebuild on full force. Thanks for another fun time.
Wow, this brings back memories. In school, learning to rebuild starters and generators. Some where I have a textbook on the subject. That and owning a 58 Edsel. Happy to see you get it sort of running and stopping.

Love to see Austin's car back in the shop Brent
I like that hat you're wearing.😊
You can make anything run Brent! You never cease to amaze me! It's a runner!
Cool stuff! Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Amazing how you can take an old relic and transform it into a run and drive unit in no time! you make it look easy!
Great video!
Wow , That 58 Ford turned out to be a little gem , A diamond in the rough , so to speak . A little sketchy at the beginning but easy to work on and now back road drivable . Love that factory paint , It looks like its found a home . Thanks for the video , Stuart in Ontario ..
I loved your bleeding technique through the floor and those old ford 6 bangers are almost unstoppable
Great job
I like your attitude and the way you go at a build. I also like big trucks, two tons or so. Thanks for sharing
A complete car.... its complete with everything it comes with at the time!!!
Nice to see you back on the spanners 💚🇬🇧🌱 what a great purchase! She's a beauty,
That 's a slick rig you've got there Brent..
Best build yet me thinks ??
I hope that someday we can all find the peace that you found with the day to day things we do.Thanks for a great video.
Cool car ! It's nice to see you bring back to life that Ford and having fun doing it, great video !
Always fun when they run

This channel is great I look forward to seeing you
Oil for nut & bolts , or cabled, oil makes the work so much enjoyable !!😋
I love these kinds of videos. Continued success with it!
