ford 4 speed shifter tear down Episode 166 Manic Mechanic We tear down two shifters to make one good one. We bought a parts shifter from eBay to repair the existing four speed shifter on our 1963 Galaxie. The Ford Galaxie 4 speed bench seat shifter is iconic for bare bones raw horse power and we wanted to return the old Battlescared Galaxia to that iconic look. For that we are using the 1962-1964 Fairlane Bench seat four-speed shifter from the folks at AutoKrafters. Thanks for watching and please encourage others to subscribe.

Ford Fairlane Torino 4R70W AOD First Drive Episode 553 Autorestomod We finally get the 4R70W driven 1969 Fairlane out and driving. We like the way the US Shift controller handles the Monster Transmission 4R70W and it the combination of the two is light years ahead of where the car was with driving.

LED headlights in a Falcon Mustang Maverick Camaro Cuda F100 Episode 556 Autorestomod https://www.banginheadlights.com If your current headlights are 7" in diameter (178 mm), our seven inch round headlight will drop right in as a like-for-like replacement. Important - These are 7" diameter headlights, normally they fit cars with 2 headlights. If your car has 4 headlights it is likely they have the smaller 5.75" size Bangin' Headlights will be releasing headlights in this size very soon. The headlights come with a 3-pin H4 plug, the same as your existing 7" sealed beam. This makes them plug & play. If you get headlights with options such as halos and demon eyes, additional wiring will be required. Bangin' Headlights are designed to fit your classic car. In these cars the headlight compartment is often tiny and most LED headlights do not fit. In many cases the light quality has been compromised to make the headlight fit. Uses a full size 2.5" Bi-LED projector headlight that is small enough to fit your car. No compromise on light quality, yet it is designed to fit without modification.
