We're Back... But Things Have Changed!

Well, I'm sure some of you may have been wondering where I've been lately... and to be honest life has been a little hectic over the past few months! But aside of all that, we're back... but slightly different than when you last watched us! Over the past year I've had the idea of changing/ rebranding the channel from ClassicMustangs429 to something a little more widely versed... reason for that is simple, we plan on working on other car (outside of the Ford/FoMoCo brand) and it just didn't make sense to be post a GM or Mopar vehicle on a channel with "Mustang" and "429" in the name... So without further ado, as you may have already seen with the new intro sequence, I'd like introduce you to the new channel name "The Old Car Channel".

Good to see you back! Great to see Canadian content. Keep it up ! I do not care about the name, i care about the content and your attitude.

It's good to hear that we'll be seeing more frequent content. I agree with your decision to go in a different direction. We all have our favorite make of cars, but it's nice to mix it up some. I too have a favorite make, but I just enjoy cars in general. I recently acquired my first AMC. Anyway, all I'm saying is it will be good to see more of your work. Looking forward to it.

Like your approach to the material Mike.
See no reason why it shouldn’t work with different content.
Keep at it.🙂

Welcome back man i missed the channel excited to see your channel grow and more car projects

I just acquired a 64 Fairlane with a 429/C6/9-inch/drum brakes. Manufacturer agnostic topics that might be useful for classic/old car owners:

0) How to update your points ignition to electronic. There are several options - pertronix, manufacturer-specific dist/box, manufacturer dist/MSD box, and MSD dist/box. People new to classic cars may want to know what's best for their car/situation, and how to do it.

1) Electric fans. How to select/install them.

2) Swapping rear ends.

3) Shock installation

4) Trunk-mounted battery.

5) Drum brake maintenance, and disc brake upgrades

6) Wheel fitment (how to determine backspacing and offset).

7) Four-link conversion.

8 ) Wire management.

9) Cut-to-fit spark plug wires.

10) Window regulator repair.

11) Carburetor tuning.

I would recommend keeping your videos close to 30 minutes in length. I see some U-Tubers posting 1 or 2hr videos. Most people don't have that much time to invest watching a video on U-Tube. I agree posting 2 videos a week is the perfect setup. Looking forward to the new channel. Glad you went with the rebrand!!

[dereklimesand]

Like the rebrand, look forward to the regular content. New camera too? Quality looks really good.

[staceyrenner]

Little late to the game, but the channel popped into my head yesterday as I hadn't seen anything from you for a bit. Excited to hear about the changes Mike, really looking forward to seeing what's in store! Greetings from Alberta!

[SidewaysSyd]

Glad you're back.. I'm looking forward to seeing more vids. I have a 68 fastback Mustang here in Sunny South Africa.

[Ecosse]

well, ok. i'm sold. it's not like you were posting scads of mustangs with '385' series engines.
congrats to going full time man! i have no doubt this channel will grow. hey mike, i'd like to see a vlog video on (truly) low-buck performance tips (parts interchange, tuning, etc) mainly for small block fords but anything really. also, nice ferris bueller reference.

[williambehles]

Been busy, hadn't noticed the change, but it makes sense. Oh Yeah, Of Course I'm still HERE! That made me chuckle Mike, Thanks!

[Ecosse]

i support your new direction including things not fomoco but i hope your focus remains on ford stuff. don't worry... i'm sticking around!

[williamfreeh]

i dont give a rats patootie about you changing your name. i totally enjoy your content. carry on big guy.

[RobertThomas-vrqn]

Love the idea I wish someone would post info on different yrs of the fairlane. Like the fact the 65 is a one yr bodystyle. Just a thought

[MotorScotti]

Looking forward to this. I suppose you're gonna go YouTube full time professionally now? You've got my support.👍 Would like to do that, too, but I'd need a better place to work, in order to make some decent content.

[rafelinasn]

Welcome back Mike. Hope to see you around town this summer.

[paulgunter]
