Facts!!!!!

I am from Cuba and I grew up in all classic American cars. My grandpa had a 1950 chevy sedan with a straight 6 and a 283 engine. When I saw this video and how the engine was cranking I was transported to my childhood. Nothing like ol' classic American cars.

I am very impressed by the intentional contrast between form, the beauty of your videography, e.g matching your clothes to the car color, and function, getting the machine to run with minimal cleaning. This is exceptional artistry. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

1956, the year I was born. I remember riding around in these when I was a kid.

Simon, I can't describe it, but your videos have a therapeutic effect. After a stressful, hard day at work, or stress with your wife, the videos really calm you down. You feel like you're working with you. No one is just talking your ear off. Thank you for your effort and hard work!

Best car video I've seen in a long time. No drama or dumb music and great film work. Very cool car. Simon has the motivation I need.✌️🍺

Excellent video. Two things I liked were that you solder the crimp lug connections (essential for good connection) and the use of a gas torch to make spider webs vaporise. Terrible shame about the cracked block. Looking forward to the new engine when it happens.

I genuinely feel like I could learn more about old cars and trucks from your videos than from anything else out there with a ton of commentary. As always, well done, and I look forward to the next!

Your videos/content/work ethic is just epic, love seeing a new upload and rewatching old ones to chill out after a long day doing the exact same stuff you do. Great angles/lighting and every detail captured, with no benile music or chatter, it’s so peaceful.

Just found you recently Love your vids So refreshing to not have someone rambling endlessly while working Your content is so relatable Keep up the good work Cheers

Or worse yet rambling endlessly about what they’re GOING to do, and not getting any actual work recorded.

So very entertaining, even laugh out loud funny (when the wire brush got caught in the rag then you put the metal tray under it), .......and not a word was spoken. Award worthy editing for sure. Also manages numerous teachable moments!! Well done, well done!

So ziemlich das entspannteste was ich zum Thema Autovideo überhaupt gesehen habe. Keine nervende Musik, keine lautes Gerede. Manchmal ist weniger einfach mehr. Mach weiter so! Grüße aus Deutschland

Never knew you had closed captioning on your videos! Your cinematography has always been amazing and it's easy to follow what you are doing, but the CC made it even better! Thank you

What a simply fabulous video! My beater is a 1955 210 four-door with a 235 six and Powerglide transmission. They all sound identical,. It was as if he was working on my engine before I painted it! Not long ago, I broke a fiber timing gear. That is a really wonderful experience --- pulling the oil pan and pump to get the bottom two assembly screws out of the front main bearing journal, to remove the cam gear cover. I installed new motor mount rubbers. I have had this car since 1995 so I have replaced or rebuilt every thing several times including a new wiring harness under the dash. Good steering columns for Powerglides are starting to get hard to find.

Very awesome. I’m not even much of a car guy anymore, but I love your videos. Takes me back to my high school days and tearing them apart to fix and figure out how everything works. You’re well past that stage. Keep the vids coming. Don’t change a thing.

It's always good to see a new video pop up. Your format makes it great and mostly getting to see the actual work get done.

I look forward to this Lad's Videos with no talking & no shite music just a Guy working on an old Car, doing a good job in the meantime 👍

Outstanding work from start to finish. I know whatever comes next for this car will be on par with your abilities that we have come to know.

Love your videos. It amazes me, how in older days everything could be fixed/lubricated/cleaned and would work for another few years compared to nowadays...

I've seen about a million car restaurations on KZread. But this one stands out. I even watched through the carb cleaning, which I've seen and done a million times. All because there's a certain je-no-se-qua in this video. Must be the photography and the attention to detail. Well done Sir. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. And you've got a gem of a car there. Very complete and original for it's age :)

Fine dining?!? This is as blue collar as you can get. We’re talkin steak and eggs here. Ham and cheese sandwich with a Coke of the back of the tailgate. America c’mon.

Knuckle flex at the start is much needed. Can't wait to watch this! Thanks for the uploads. Great content!

Love this video as family had one but right hand drive for South Africa, with associated conversion for the gear linkages. Being very young at the time I do remember Dad changing from 1st to 2nd and occasionally the linkages jamming. No problem, Dad always had a toolbox in the Boot (Trunk) so out came the ‘persuader’ (hammer) and screwdriver and soon the recalcitrant items where unjammed. Many years later I was driving and towing the family caravan with girlfriend and noticed that the water temp was climbing as we drove through the Karoo (semi desert) with its long straight roads with high ambient temp into the high 30° C (86-100°F) Pulled over into one of the numerous roadside picnic areas conveniently provided tree cover, lifted the bonnet (hood) and couldn’t believe what I saw, a plug lead had come adrift! The car had been running on 5 cylinders for who knows how long and I didn’t notice any decrease in power at all. That car was so easy and relaxing to drive, and comfortable as well. Six up with luggage no problem as was towing. Thanks for the memories👍👏‼️ Oh, the fuel filler cap behind the hinged left taillight assembly had petrol station attendants puzzled😂

Thanks. I'm always watching an rewatching NNKH's videos.

My first car was a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air with the 235 straight six and a powerglide. Watching you work on this '56 was like a trip back into time! It is refreshing to have no talking and no music during the video (maybe experiment with some captioning-- mainly for humor). Looking forward to the next installment of "This Old Chevy"!

I love your videos, You put a lot of effort in getting a great cinematography in all of your shots, Makes the content very entertaining, Can’t wait too see the next video.

I did not realize you had caption commentary until about 20 minutes in lol. Man, what a gem of a channel. So chill, no noise

i became a decent backyard mechanic doing all that stuff you're doing. a fun learning process 60 years ago. i still remember how to do it and have plenty of tools but haven't really messed with this stuff in a long time. fun to watch.

First video, just subscribed. Excellent production and editing. This young man knows his stuff around old cars. I spent my childhood riding around in our 56 chevy.

i love the way this videos are filmed !!!! the content is amazing but man the filming pairs with the mechanic skills great! great one, again!👍

I really liked this video...I appreciate all the hard work that went into getting this 56 chevy running...I felt a bit sad seeing the water flow out of the block after all the work that went into getting it going. Excellent job...Thanks for posting!

Hell yeah, Simon Renaultman just uploaded! Preliking, I will watch as soon as I am finished with work!

I can only imagine how much footage you sifted through to make this art film, but it was worth it. As a car guy that enjoys good cinematography, I'm glad YT finally got a recommendation right.

in this video, the use of the camera--- the choice of what would be photographed, the angle of the camera, etc--- is really excellent.

I enjoyed watching you work on the Chevy,Simon,you are a good mechanic.

My favorite car channel,excellent content and videography. Thanks for sharing.

The shot/ edit at 19:48 was worth the price of admission alone, ❤

Awesome videos man. Extremely knowledgeable. You do good work and most importantly no talking. Keep up the good work.

Hiya. Just found your channel been watching about four minutes so far , turned on the captions, then read some comments, all good too !!! I have a soft spot for four doors, they were mostly used up for family life ,then forgotten in some junkyard. I guess I'm partial to them, id rather have something like this one than a shiny two door. Cheers from British Columbia Canada. 🎉

All has been said about your amazing skills on cars and creating videos. But I must add: few things make me so impressed as when a highly skilled person include his/her failiures or setbacks in their stories. Thank you for your channel. Looking forward to the next one.

Greetings from Sydney Australia. Was great to watch you working on an old 6 cylinder. I have an old GM Holden from 1966. The motor your working on looks very similar as my Holden has a 186cu inch and a stromberg carburettor 😊

As usual "Hello Puss". I worked in TV production. You are very good and all the footage provides a clear explanation of the work being carried out. No banter necessary thank goodness for that. Look forward to seeing this car up and running. Cheers as we say in Australia.

I see you got a set of all-terrains for the Ford, good move! Now you can get even further into the woods. We had a '55 Model 210 with the same drivetrain-Stovebolt six and three on the tree. Funny how you remember those sounds. Hoping the owner keeps a six in it, that would fit with the utilitarian nature of the machine. Thanks for the ride!

Wow. My mom had a show-worthy '54 BelAir for a couple of years in the late 80s, and my dad had a '55 project car for a few longer. Both had to be sold after a while, and I didn't think I'd been all that attentive when they'd both work on the cars with my older brother, but it's very odd, how much still looks familiar over 30 years later, and how little things had changed inside and out up through '56. Watching you work, I can't help but wonder if you were performing some of the very solutions my parents never quite figured out from just the '55's Chilton manual. You're doing great work, and thanks for the video.

First time watching and I am pleasantly surprised that there isn't any incessant talking or annoying music. I will be subscribing.

I find that not only are your videos entertaining, they also help me to do things on my own vehicle. Thank you @SimonFordman.

Great vid, Love to see and old classic return to run the roads! This one though quite old seemed a lot less crusty than some you've wrenched on. One thing though-petroleum based grease will damage rubber. Looked like a pretty solid old ride over all. Nice work! Hope a part 2 is in the works! Would enjoy seeing her all "gussied" up!

Good thing you didn't have to put any brakes on it we be watching it a month of Sundays, all respect 🙏 KZread real good work that's all that matters 💪 keep living your life the way you do, God bless you and family, all respect.

I like your 'can do' attitude and intend to check out more of your videos. Even though I've been a professional and recreational wrench for 60 years, I still learned some things from you. Your brake line work was artful. I avoid using lubricants on brake parts but maybe high temp disc brake formula is OK? You do a lot with minimal tools but you really deserve some better ones for the sake of the metal and your customer's vehicles. I like the subject matter you are presenting and excellent videography.

Excellent video, great work. Wire wheel catching towel, perfect. Thanks

Great video man. I might start following you. That was a great video. 😎

Wow bro you are a great mechanic, I like how you went fixing everything in that car piece by piece with no problem ,, I am also a mechanic but I admire you work, I am looking forward for more of your awesome videos thanks.

I LIKE so much watch you videos , your simple way to fix the old cars is incredible. I've been anxious for new videos like this. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

First time viewer. I haven't watched a silent picture for decades. I really enjoyed this. From 63 to 66 my dad had a 55, same color, same engine, 4 door but had the power glide transmission. I sent him the link. Simon, you might want to get an ultrasonic parts cleaner for carbs and any wire wheel work you have to do.

Another great video. You're the best.

Great video sir, all I can say is that the owners of this car couldn’t have gotten a better person to get it back on the road again.

Cool car. 4 door post, three on the tree, 235 sixer with that old familiar sixer sound. And you still got those bumper guards that so many guys took off and trashed. Don't get too rambunctious with a fast 1-2 shift. Those shift arms will both try and go up at the same and you'll have to pull over and get them unstuck. 56 Chevy was my first car, paid $165 for it so many years ago. Bummer about that engine block though...

Just randomly got this video on the YT list!Subbed never hat fast!

Great video. I had a 55 Chevy Bel Air, with V8 and Powerglide, a fantastic car, drove it from Denmark to Italy and back, one summer with the family. Would go 22,5 MPG on the highway with full load. 6 persons and holly day lugage.74 MPH average, and up over the Alps no problems. They don\t make em this way no longer

I was wanting that 262 or 283 ! Then you raise the hood and it's a straight 6 cylinder It's time for a built small block 327 😂

so much heavy metal parts in those days i would have not have worn a watch, also rotor distribution cap new points and plugs would have been a good idea.. brilliant to watch you 😄
