I’m a locksmith for 20 years and it was good to me to see you pick that cylinder open. I have to say , 150 bucks is crazy high to make a key to that lock. We do that job for like 40 bucks if you already have the lock off. Well done you did good. Thanks for sharing
Yeah seems a little steep to me as well. I would have been happy to pay 50 bucks. But glad I ended up doing it instead. Didn't take very much time at all. Appreciate you tuning in. Thanks
Just swap those locks for solenoids. Then it can be pushing a hidden button to withdraw the bolt.
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Morning ! Am sorry too fans of the show makes no sense . A hold lot of money ????🧰🔧🪛⚒️📐
Often the locks have a number on outside which a locksmith can convert to a key cutting
$150 is a no thanks. $6.00 is what I pay when I bring the lock and key
My vote would be to reuse the original heads, but whatever you decide on, I'll be hear to watch 👍
I’ll be here as well ❤

Chris is such a cool laid back guy working on his projects. I always look forward to a new video. Great content
I love this channel. The way you talk to the camera and your personality, I feel like we're friends. Always looking forward to your videos. Thank you so much.
You already have the 289 apart. Replace valves, guides and regrind the seats new lifters and cam and rod bearings and main bearings, rings and water pump and enjoy it for years to come
Yea...!
100%
Replace with larger displacement engine for more smiles per mile
I agree but if ya get a cam , get a double roller and use the 4 degree advance of cam timing to make it dig lig like hell on the bottom end, and hard seats and valve too.
I had a yellow 66 V8 coupe when I was 16. Didn't have any idea how good I had it! Chris, you're the hardest working man on the tube.
That's a slick ride to have that 16 years old! Super cool. And thanks, I appreciate you tuning in
Good video my brother, you and your girl are amazing couple
I had a 65 Mustang, 4spd, 4bbl factory dual exhausts. It was dark blue metallic. Factory Kelsey Hayes wheels. I put a set of konis on it.. and a one inch front sway bar, a pair of cut down 429 Tbird springs in front a pair or Mayer racing rear springs, and rear sway bar, dropped the front A arms an inch (ala Shelby) lowered it 2 inches
IMO you make some of the best mechanical content on KZhead, so down to earth, thorough but no huge budgets and really relatable. Top job!
Keep that engine original! It's nice to see you saveing this mustang and digging deeper in to a project as far as fixing the structural rust and rebuilding motor it really deserves to be back on the road again and all of the cool cars you have you pick this one to fix you must really have a soft spot for this mustang😊
I love that roll back, it has so much going for it. It is definitely worth the time and money spent.
It needs more boost.
OMG ! LOL! Did Gus really get you back your tennis ball from the other side of that tall fence???? That is so cool. Go Gooseman!!!! I never miss your vids. I really enjoy them.
Yeah, not right away though! He took advantage of us not being able to get to him.
And thanks very much for tuning into the videos
😅😅😮😅😮😮😮😅@@NoNonsenseKnowHow
I think you should stick with the 289 heads. Do the valve job and it should be just fine. I am glad you are getting the frame and putting this back on the road.
Chris, keep her all original. She’s a classy classic.✌️
I really like your content man. Your "get after it" mentality when it comes to fixing problems and maintaining things is inspiring. Keep up the good work my friend
Right in time. I should be sleeping but here i am watching my fav channel. I work tomorrow, cant wait to explain to my boss why i feel sleepy coz i been acquiring some knowledge overnight. 😂😂😂😂
I live in Russia in the city of Ryazan and I always watch Chris’s new video with great pleasure. it would seem that this man is from a completely different world, but over time he became like a neighbor to me
There is only one race, the human race. We have learned how to fly like birds, swim like fish, and now we all must learn how to live on earth, as humans.
@@bentice5911AMEN !
This is the Best mechanic based channel on KZhead. You do a great job , Love your content Chris !!
You need to watch Pole Barn Garage, that guy there is funny and he is at least 10 times crazier and his GTO build is just insane. Or South Main Auto LLC, the repair guy there is more on the technical side but very good.
Keep it all original Chris. The distributor was a necessary part to discard due to it being stuck. The Gus man is always great to see. Keep up the great content bro. Get that Rustang cruisin’ again. 🇺🇸
The 289 was a little gem of an engine, always worth saving.
I was amazed that Chris repaired the rear brake cylinder on the truck at night yet, gets it done and then the front cylinder let go. If that happened to me the whole neighborhood would have known about it. Having such patience is priceless
Take your time,make quality videos like this one,no need productivity,but spontaneous,real slice of entertainment. Thanks from France.
So happy to see the mustang get some love! Awesome work Chris!
Me too! And thanks
Hell yeah! I’ve noticed that you add different substances to oil, fuel, and coolant. You often mention the product names, but not what they actually do. Unfortunately, we don’t have the same products in my country. Could you create a video or explain what you’re adding and in which situations? 😊 As always love your content
Whatever you do, do not get rid of that rollback. You'll never find another one like it, that thing is super cool and one of kind. Thanks for all the entertainment the past couple of years. Love watching your channel grow!
Yes keep it, if you need put a banks kit or a turbo from a 6.5 liter diesel, gives some power and even a little better fueleconomy 👍
He will sell it .. guaranteed.. never keeps anything long.
You did the right thing taking the car to Ben. I have been a fan of his channel for years, and he is so meticulous with his work. A real craftsman is hard to find these days, and he is one of the best .
Super excited about this Mustang! And that rollback is a great truck to have still can't believe it's 4x4 haha love it! Glad you kept the diesel!
Woot! Always a good day when you get some NNKH!
Good video! Keep the Mustang stock, I SO miss those old mom & pop hardware stores, glad you're supporting them. Thanks Chris
Hello,I've been watching your channel for a while now but since I got hit by a car and I'm in recovery all I do is watch your videos all day long and it's very entertaining so keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks very much for tuning in and glad to hear that you enjoy the videos
LOVE the RUSTANG. Also love that you are leaving the original condition rust/paint the WAY it IS.
I do love shiny resto paint jobs on classic cars. But at the same time, I love old, crusty-rusty patina. You can take the same car--pimp it out or leave it looking like crap--I love both looks.
Thank you for the reply! Way I think, the shiny car says it's been to the beauty salon. That same crap car says, yes, I'm old and ugly--but I have many life stories..Be it pretty or crap, we are ressurrected!
That car is restorable. I'm having fun resto-modding a 67. If you guys want to get started these Mustangs are the best. Easy to get parts, simple and affordable.
Everything is restorable, it's just a matter of money 😂
@@dmacarthur5356 I did say affordable. It doesn't have to be a rotisserie job. Especially on a coupe.
I started watching NNKH when you did amazing heavy diesel revivals. I stayed along for the ride as you have progressed and enjoy your FoMoCo content and positive life pursuits.
Appreciate you coming along for the ride! Thank you
Classy comment on addressing the "lady" on the side of the truck. Always appreciate how you keep the content clean and family friendly. Well done sir.
Old school hardware stores usually sell better quality but a little higher price but it’s usually worth the difference
I follow Peterson also. He does great mustang work.
I am so glad you are giving this mustang a second chance. It is so cool to watch this come together a 67 was one of the best years.
You might look into going with a T-5 trans instead of the Toploader. It's a great trans, but, unless you really get a find, it's spendy. Then, you can put some lower gears and a locking diff in. Even if you rebuild the 289 heads with the 2 BBL and a dual exhaust, it'll seem as fast as your later GT. Looking forward to seeing more of all the Mustangs!
Incredible video. Thank you for the details on restoration. The car is amazing and deserved to be restored. Kudos 🎉🎉🎉
I’m in the UK and was about to sleep, guess I’m up for another 43 minutes! Love the content.
Haha same
Hey Chris, great job on the mustang, keep the original heads!! also keep the flatbed, it's great that you've already used it several times!! Gus still needs his own channel!!
Chris your knowledge is very impressive for a young fella!!!
I vote for new valves and keeping it stock if the rest makes sense. Love the truck! What a find!
New heads would be an improvement. Especially on a 289.
LeMans heads would be cool.
Great video. replace valves that you need toa d use original heads is what I would do. Glad you are fixing the 67 up. God bless
Good call Chris ..Jen is an amazing lady!!!
You are ambitious. ! Getting new valves and reseating them easiest way out .
I'd say if your going to use the original engine. Do a valve job if it's 40% savings or more then new aluminum ones. Throw in some rod bearings and send it. That's just my opinion but your choices are more educated. I love your channel ❤️
Bedliner on the top of the tank would be an excellent idea. Ive seen backyard mechanics use roofing tar over patched floors .it works
"rebuild" the old engine and run it! Love to see it!
Keep the 289 heads. Those heads make more power. Plus original to the car is pretty cool too.
Awesome !! Love that you’re rebuilding the rustang!!! Can you just buy new valves and keep it “original”. Love that car
That's what I was wondering..
"We Need a Hero " comes on the radio. Chris strikes his best hero pose .... Just the Hero this car needs !
That was an awesome moment!!!
I'm digging your antique tow truck with the sleeper and the stang in the back make a good pair. Thanks for the solid content.
Very smart decision to get the Mustang floor pan/frame rails removed and replaced at Petersons. I would also contract Petersons to do the front suspension rust repair on the 85 GT Mustang. That rollback will come in handy for all kinds of jobs.
It’s funny how I get distracted from what the video is about every time Gus comes out to play. 😂 That was hilarious when he was “retrieving” the tennis ball, he’s a smart dog for sure. Seriously though I Love the content on this channel, keep up the good work and enthusiasm.
Chris I literally saw a red numberplate (licence plate) today reading 'NNKH'! Funny thing is it was down here in Australia. Coincidence or not was still cool to see. Love your work man.
Can't get a better man to do the metal work. I've been following Peterson's for a long time. Just clean heads, reseat valves hone out cylinder walls, new bearings, timing chain and keep the engine original.
Love your doggy, so cool and smart. ❤ nice share
I am in awe of your ability as a mechanic. Am also really pleased that you are going to save the 'stang, however choosing rust over paint, unfathomable...
I have so much respect for you it's amazing how well you are able to get so many repairs,errands, jogs with gus and have such a healthy relationship with your lady friend Jen!! I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your videos very much I've been a European tech for a little over 20years and .an when I get off I want to shower and chill lol watching you has made me realize I should try to be the same way so thanks so much for some inspiration it means alot!!!
you just HAVE to take on a road trip once you're done making it road worthy. A route 66 trip would be epic!
I just bought your olive green T-shirt! Awesome quality like I knew it would be. Because I want to be just like you when I grow up you’re awesome. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man! I appreciate the support and don't be like me, be like you! Thanks for tuning in too
That was classic NNKH. Loved it, especially the motor teardown. I’d leave the stock heads on it for now. Seems quite easy to work on. Maybe you can score some oem valves for the stock heads. If anything needs a turbo it’s the roll back.
The pure happiness on his face when he had the torch in hand while "Holding out for a hero" was playing 😅😂
@21:20 PETERSON RESTORATIONS! I love this guy
Leave the 289 as stock as possible, they are goo daily drivers. Just do a nice rebuild, nothing fancy, rings, bearings, pumps Look for a re-valving kit, with valve. spring. keepers. and rockers The two barrel, is good enough as a daily driver, they did it for years. I wouldn't bother with a 4 barrel unless you were going to tow a trailer If I were considering a carb swap, I'd go for a EFI kit but that pricy
After watching this one I had to go Follow Ben his work and eye for detail is amazing waiting for him to start working on yours.
Glad to see you’re doing more work on that mustang! And I LOVE that truck!
Recondition the 289, you’ll decrease sale value any other way. Contact COMP CAMS, ask them to sponsor a factory-like cam for the 289 with a slight bit more duration. Get the head and deck surfaced, have hardened seats installed and work in new valves. You and the next owner will thank you later! 🔥
Oh, naturally replace the collapsed lifters and have new pushrods in with the new cam. That went without saying but I know someone will point this out 😂
Good seeing you on Stay Tuned!
Use the stock heads it ran great before......Now let it live!
Thanks for the update on the roll-back, this thing should go for ever! Looking forward to see what you do to the mustang.
I'd love to see you do a collaboration for the engine rebuild using the 302 parts. Maybe there's a hack to use those parts and not lose compression. Either way, I'm loving your channel! Keep up the good work and you'll have your own camera crew!!
Chris- Stick with the 289 heads. Get a decent valve job and new valves and springs. An aluminum intake and a small 500-600 cfm 4bbl. will really wake up that motor. Also a T-5 transmission would be a good choice (the same trans that is in your Fox body Mustang) if you cant find a cheap 4 speed.
Exactly!
My opinion, keep the old heads. Leave the Mustang/Rustang as OG as possible. Rebuild is better than replace when you can. Love the Channel Chris!
One could now discuss his taste when it comes to the finish or paintjob of the Mustang. But his taste in music is excellent. And also: kudos for saving the car. You keep hearing "ah, it's not worth it, there are enough in better condition" until there aren't enough anymore.
This is such a great build series. That Mustang has so much potential. Keep up the good work, Chris!
Keep it original, Enjoy it for what it is..., A great little blast from the past.
At about 29:00, Chris introduced the guys of Stay Tuned. Seen the channel in my YT searches, but never watched them. They built Hot Rod Lincolns??? Thanks, Chris--Imma gonna SUBSCRIBE to these guys!
Heck yeah, definitely check him out. Tony's doing some really cool stuff.
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow 28:34 “BRAIN CELLS…. WHO NEEDS THEM?!” 😮 Tony & his crew seem super cool and efficient👍🏾 And .. Peterson could past for your clean shaven twin brother 👀… lol As a jazz composer…. I’ll come out of my home studio 50 miles n/e of Chicago to take a break and treat myself to your videos….. You’re like a dam neurosurgeon with those cars!!!!… lol Somehow….. restoring, and upgrading tangible objects is ….. similar to writing and rewriting pieces of music…. I could skimp on a tune that sounds ok…… or I can tear the bridge or chorus or verse down and give it the quality makeover it deserves……. true…. most won’t know what under that musical “hood”….. but…. Harmonically and aesthetically….. it works 10 times better……!! Anyway, as a little side note: If I’m not mistaken; Lee Iacocca drew the first plans for the Ford Mustang back in 64 when working for Ole Henry Ford….. I believe Ford fired him … and rehired him…… ?? ( don’t quote me..👀 ) he went on to become President of the company! Anyway Thanks for the inspiration.. Hug Gus and Jen for us all…… and….. DONT FORGET TO GET SOME GOOD SLEEP…. it’s very important….. Have a great spring brother 🌱 🎼RAIN AGAIN 🎼
I think we've (as Americans) become sentimental about what's left of our old iron, I watched a motorcycle mechanic lead me to believe he would resurrect an old goldwing and he minimally got it running, rode it's last ride and junked it, even being Japanese it was also American history, can't watch his show anymo. Thankyou for the mustang resurrection.
So cool that you have the rollback and it looks great with the Mustang on it!
Great content about locksmith and compresion.stick with same heads from the motor.the other heads will get you top end but no power bellow.peace......
Saturday morning in Australia, love your channel only found it the other week and have been binge watching 👀 ❤
Watching from Australia as well been watching for awhile such a good channel 👍
I would suggest you get the pertronix distributor kit with the electronic ignition built-in and the coil to match. The distributor from pertronix will allow you to use the factory air cleaner assembly. Pertronix starts on 12 volts, runs on 9 volts. You'll have to bypass the resistor wire.
Chris well done. Clearly your garage upgrade has made your work much more productive. Will eagerly watch for next episode of rustang.
Greetings from Sweden, land of Vikings and IKEA. appreciate the videos
I'd be looking for some new valves and reuse the old heads. The 302 heads are okay, but only if you're using higher domed Pistons. The last thing you want to do is lower the compression ratio! Plus, you're not gaining any flow if the intake valves are the same size and ports are the same size. As for turbocharging.. please don't. Also, I could spend all day walking through those old style hardware stores!
Always stop what I'm doing to watch your videos. Love them! Always great videos and really informative too!
Love your channel.I would use the original heads.
I'm a big fan of leaving old classics like this mostly stock. Just rebuild the engine and put a 4 speed in it and call it good.
Pleased to see you remove the girl from the side door. The right thing to do. Jen is a real treasure. Respect.
Hey brother, I just wanna let you know how much your videos helped somebody today. I lost my mother and with my mind going completely crazy. The only thing I could think of is to watch your video so I thank you. It’s always the little things.🙏
3 words that have stood the test of time. Factory Parts Work.
As a teen I worked in my step dad’s locksmith shop. I rebuilt many lock cylinders simply replacing the small keyways instead of fixing a blank key to the cylinder itself. The shop u went to probably had a huge supply of those keyways. Thanks again for a great show. I look forward to each video The locksmith shop was in Gutenberg NJ. Veterans Locksmith Shop.
Problem with doing that is that I would have to take the bezel off of all four locks. So I figured it made more sense to just make a key that works for all of them as is. Thanks for tuning in to the show! Appreciate you
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow keep the great episodes coming. Thanks again
есть более простой способ: можно тасовать шторы местами в личинке замка под существующий ключ, я использовал этот способ много раз ) новые запчасти уступают качеству старых и поэтому ремонт старья оправдывает себя - старая вещь получает новую жизнь.
I think that rollback is probably going to end up being one of the most valuable tools you've gotten in a long time. It's SO nice to not have to trailers something and deal with all that, especially in rain or over a long distance. I'm super happy you got that thing. Also, good call pulling the ladies off the side.. you have one of the best women on the internet Chris!!!
I love that flatbed, you picked up and brought back to life. Beautiful truck. And the mustang will be cool too
Love the original heads idea. Original equipment.
Im on the edge of my seat the Mustang series is going to be awesome 👏👏👏🤘
Love the old Mustangs! Looking forward to seeing more of it. Great video NNKH!!
I love the adventures you're doing man. And to see the reusing of stuff and repairing what is still repairable and the "know how". You´re doing an awesome job, making it entertaining while doing a serious job.
Glad to see you and Tony supporting each other. He's the real deal. I think the rollback needs a turbo! What happened to your YT memberships?
Yeah a turbo would be good! And I decided to turn the memberships off
HEY! Hello Chris and Jen! Hell yes , lets do this!!
My favorite channel on KZhead! I like how your straight forward and don't showboat by acting ridiculous yet always have good extra content especially with Gus! Always look forward to the next video!
