    Totally impressed by your skill set for your age. I know that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. You have an old soul buried in that body. Thanks for making it personal, as well, with your girlfriend...she's a keeper if she can put up with a gearhead for a boyfriend. My wish for you is that someday your channel will be as big as Scotty Kilmer's. He's a good mechanic, but a sensationalist, trying everything to grab viewer attention. You, Omar, are down to earth...keep it it bro...Paul

There isn't a better feeling of accomplishment, until you get to drive what you've been working on for so long. I'm really happy for you bro. Another great show Omar, thanks so much for sharing. Oh, and your test pilot sure is cute. Congratulations to the both of you.

    Boy watching the car drive away into the sunset brought back some memories. I had a black '62 with a red interior. Great little cars, not fast at all with a 144 engine though, swapping the 200 in from a later Ford was a real good idea. Great video, thanks for posting it.

    Of all the Falcon videos on youtube, yours is the most keenly and lyrical and has touched me. You are in the prime of your youth. I live in Japan and it's somewhat of a disadvantage to drive an old American car, but this weekend I'm going to see a '63 4 door with a bad automatic transmission. All my friends tell me never to buy it, but something keeps me from giving up. If I decide to purchase, please teach me various things about your knowledge.

    Nothing like getting a car moving again! It's a great feeling. That 6 is probably going to be indestructible, too, if treated right. One of the best cars/trucks I've ever owned was a F150 with the 300 six without much smog crap. I could park it for 2 months and barely touch the key and it would start up immediately. Bulletproof too. Assume that engine (170??) is the same family.
