1957 Ford Fairlane 500! Update on work progress. Y Block V8 driving! Classic Cars Fender Skirts

Update on the '57 Ford Fairlane 500. Got the Fordomatic transmission transmissioning again. The linkage and kickdown has been modified and out of adjustment so the car was shifting too quickly and wouldn't downshift when the pedal was depressed. The bad boy racing wheel was replaced with the original. I also installed new tires as the ones on the car were very old, mismatched, too small and dry rotted. I painted the fender skirts brown to match the car and show how they work. -------------------------------------------------- Follow along on Instagram:   / obsoleteautomotive   --------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:44 - Out with the New (steering wheel) 04:28 - Hood Ornament 06:24 - New Tires 08:57 - Fender Skirt Painting 11:27 - Fender Skirts Mounted. 12:44 - Fender Skirt Operation 14:01 - Underhood Work (Kickdown adj) 17:46 - Road Test 18:17 - Fixing Dash Lights 21:37 - Fueling a Ford 23:46 - Crank and Drive 32:52 - The Sounds of a Y-Block 34:04 - What Are You Gonna Do? 35:23 - Final Thoughts 37:06 - End Screen
