What should we do with the Fairmont? Daily it? Budget sleeper build? Let us know!!

Engine hoist - a device used to test the tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect or missed while preparing to remove the engine.

This was an awesome video as always

This Fairmont doesn't look too bad for the year. Since it is a Foxbody it has a lot of potential. I say just beef it up and make it a sleeper

The older I get, and the more new crap gets produced, I find myself appreciating everything old even more than I did already. Old is gold.

You turned the radio on at exactly the right time to catch the top-of-hour Legal ID. As a former broadcaster of 16 years, I can appreciate that!

Not much wrong with that car like it is. Maybe throw a VERY mild setup at it, so it keeps it's nice road manners, but could turn 14 inch tires into smoke with little effort. Nice rig to throw some friends in to go get ice cream.

This episode will probably make sleeperdude cry!!! He is always on the hunt for fairmonts..But a 302 four door would probably be his holy grail car...Great video Kevin and Mook!!

I used to know a guy who had one of these. We'll call him Gabriel. A bunch of us went out to a club one evening. We all left with a lady that night. Gabriel's Fairmont was parked right next to my Z28. With our dates accompanying us to our cars for the evening, Gabriel's date saw his Ford Fairmont. She asked, "Is this your car?" With a disgusted look on her face. He replied, "Yeah! Do you like it?" with confidence... his date for evening went back into the club. He went home alone. 😆😆😆

I had a 78 zephyr with the in-line 6. My first car, loved it! Had it for 8 years until a fender bender wrote it off. Total granny car but it helped me start my landscaping business and did everything about to it with ease. Great cars!

I absolutely love it!! It deserves to be saved. One of those throwaway cars you just don’t see anymore.

The blunt honesty about the shift kit and running time killed me 😂

That exhaust turned out decent. Throaty but not raspy for being a Y pipe with a glass pack. Keep up the awesome videos!

Back in 1980, my grandpa bought a wagon version of this car. From factory, it was dark gray with red interiors. V8 with manual transmission.

You two just get more and more entertaining. Mook's timing and on the fly sense of humor still gets me every 3 1/2 seconds

Hi Kevin when your hoist is lower then your last safety lock, we use axle stands underneath the arm of the hoist on both sides of the car and then it can’t come down on you. Hope you and Mook are have a great day. We really enjoy your videos.

Always a great pleasure when a JD video pops up, especially when the Mookanic is taking part. There seems to be so many really crap stuff on You tube these days its great to know that there are still the old faithfulls on here. You and Mook get it just right, an excellent mix of entertainment, knowledge and fun.. Definitely my No 1 must watch channel. Keep it up guys and all the best from Yorkshire UK..

Keep it as is. That's a great running daily driver. Awesome channel you have. 302 is one of Ford's best engines. Great score.

It's always a joy to see you and Mook wrenching together! Looks like a blast.

We all wish we had an assistant mechanic as sassy as the Mookster! 👌👌
