It’s like a 90 year old war veteran sitting in a wheelchair in an old veterans home waiting for his time to come, then someone takes him to the battlefield where he goes out in battle like the warrior he was meant to be! Great revival, I enjoyed that immensely, and your editing is amazing. Great content! Liked and followed for sure!
I seriously hope this channel blows up!! Very VERY talented young guy, not just on getting old hot piles running, but the quality of filming and editing is on another level!! Good job Simon 👏🏼👍🏼
No music, no words, all classes of the world you understand in the clips. Many thanks for the great effort. You are a great man and a good role model for young people. My greetings from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 🫡🇸🇦
The first vehicle I ever drove was an M151A2 1/4 ton TRK /4x4. TM 2220- 218-2010 if memory serves. I was a 17 year old new recruit in the 82nd Airborne Division. Sergeant John Turner (truck Turner) was my platoon sergeant. Every time I missed a gear he would hit me in my helmet with a stick he carried for that purpose. It sounds rough but these guys just came back from Vietnam and the war was still going on. Great memories of Truck and that Jeep. To this day I own and drive standard shift vehicles minus my wife’s LR2. Great work on that Jeep. Your perseverance and skills. Are unmatched by the majority of young men your age.
My father and his family worked on so many Willy's. The US left a lot of Willy's here in the Philippines, we did some work to it and made it our national public transport mode, the Jeepney. Loved this video so cinematic and relaxing
An update: just applied another trick from you. I used the way you re-flange the engine oil pan and get my transmission oil pan fixed nice, flat, and sealed on my transmission. Saved me a big amount of money! Will keep thumbs up for your hard work!
At your age, your problem-solving skills are next-level. I know men three times your age that wouldn't have any idea how to solve some of the issues that I've watched you tackle! Also, when you "massaged" those rims to fit the Jeep and then uttered "perfect," I could hear the pedants screaming! Masterful, my man! 😂
I spent this hour and a half of my life with great interest, watching how a young guy brings back the legendary CJ-3A from the dead, it was comparable to watching a movie, thank you 👍🏻
I have this same vehicle and the vin tag says DJ3A for delivery (like mail jeep). Just finished full restoration never seen another that is 4x4! 1960 model
@@dustinlewald2804 I don't think so, it runs and drives and hasn't folded in half from frame rot. I wouldn't restore it but it would be a great firewood hauler.
@@MrHVTelesz69 Yeah the engine is done for sure. Sounds like the main bearing or connecting rod. The entire engine needs to be replaced or rebuild with oversized pistons if the block and crankshaft are ok. People are talking about restoring it like it was easy or cheap.

Such an intriguing video! 🤔 I love the suspense and the determination to make it work. It's amazing to see how persistence and creativity come together to make things happen. Can't wait to see the end result! 🔧💡 Keep it up, you’ve got this! 👏🔥
Everything, the title, the way it was filmed and edited and the tenacious, talented hard work that went into it. My favourite bit was him getting the gas axe out and making those wheels fit. Yeah!
Спасибо тебе Саймон, нет таких профессионалов с такой умной головой и с такими руками , которые добиваются успехов , а самое главной какая же решимость завести и поехать, но не из автосервиса , а в чистом Поле, никто никогда это не сделает , Брава Саймон, смотрел с таким удивлением , что хотел сам тебе помогать , но ты такой Мастер , спасибо, спасибо. Жду твоего ответа. Россия город Киров.
Да не хочу я в эту Америку , просто парень удивляет таким мастерством, пускай на хвалиаают раз это правда , а то болтунов очень много , и не стараюсь я просто отличное видео.
Built like a brick shithouse with the reliability of 4 wheels and a hole in the bottom to push it Flintstones style. Can't get any better than that when it comes to bulletproof quality.
It was fun to watch that jeep go from a stationary junk pile to a functioning vehicle. I drove Willies Jeeps in the Army in the 70s, and they are nearly indestructible! They were made so you really could fill them up with lake water and stuff like that. They were designed to be extremely serviceable by just about anyone just about anywhere even in the field. The Jeeps we were driving were from the 50s and I'm going to guess that one was from the 40s or 50s so it's getting on towards 100 years old. Not quite there yet but probably 75 anyway! Glad to see you brought it back and hopefully you'll keep working on it and get it back to 100%.
First time I’ve heard him speak and it’s just a simple “Perfect” for the worst looking most bent outta shape wheel I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂 I’m glad it worked and I had a smile the whole video.
The day this video dropped (day after Thanksgiving), my family and I sat and watched it together in the living room of our childhood home before we all had to split up to go back to where we each call home now. It was a tender silence, intermittently broken by my dad, my brother, and I laughing while you beat the crap out of this tank and also explaining to the rest of the family what you were doing (my dad taught us how to work on cars, his dad was an old Chevy mechanic). All this to say, thank you for the sweet hour and a half my family and I got to sit together. My whole family enjoyed the video. But my brother, his wife, and their one year old son also really enjoyed it!
never commented on a youtube video before. I'm not a car guy and never will be. Mr. Fordman you are a special talent. Never stop doing what you were born to do. "Perfect." Thank you.
I used one of those for security night hours key round in a large pipe yard for several months. The one I used was physically identical but was a 1960s version with the ford 223 six engine. To me transportation is a blessing, so never scoff at anything that runs and has wheels. My dad drove those as a postal letter carrier from 1958 all the way to 1982, but after around 1966 they issued them ambassador cars
Certainly would build character . Kinda pulling off the impossible. I want to also comment on your closing. The poor little willys watches as you drive away, it’s sad little grill and headlight face so forlorn. That’s Oscar grade cinema dude.
Этот канал должен собирать миллионы!!!! Парень просто волшебник! Отличный контент! Талантливый оператор! Интересные проекты!! Пора уже рекламировать химию и запчасти, чувак!!!
Huge respect for Simon he gets it done with no negative vibe. All willpower and fortitude with strong leadership on the jobs win loose or draw this is the channel to see. I've got more that 5000 videos I've watched on RUclips and right now Simon is top shelf.
No music, no words, all classes of the world you understand in the clips. Many thanks for the great effort. You are a great man and a good role model for young people. My greetings from the iraq🇮🇶
I just found this video and immediately subscribed for two reasons. 1. You know what you're doing. 2. You don't fill the video with mindless chatter, music, or splice in dumbass cut scenes from shows\movies. Wish you all the best with your channel!
This brings back good memories, 50 years my father bought a Jeep just like this one. At first site I thought he bought a mail truck. Got it out of the barn at a deer camp net to ours in Uvalde TX. It needed a lot of work but not this much. We had a lot of father and son projects over the years and fixing and painting the Jeep was great! I’m glad I saw your video.
My man Sreten is precise but I like the fact that you can fix anything with just a few tools, no fancy this or that, just ingenuity, muscle and skills. You Sir, are about to become the next RUclips sensation, mark my words.
That was a bittersweet ending. You captured the sadness well in the final scenes. Almost like the Willy's Jeep was hoping it could come along but knew it wasn't meant to be. At least it had a last hurrah.
I mean the jeep was far beyond what I would consider salvageable, it is a jeep that was left for dead in a field for “likely 40-50 years. Great work young man. Look every thing does not need to look or operate like a show room floor, sometimes you get more satisfaction by just getting it to run and drive again. Thank you for your time Mr ford man
Just when I think you can't impress me any more! I think of all the things people throw away because they are "unfixable" or "not worth it" and then you get something like this running that ANY mechanic would write off. I know it isn't about to be a daily driver, but it does illustrate what a little bit of perseverance can accomplish. My hat is off to you yet again Simon. Please continue what you are doing. You teach us all.
Will also comment before watching 👍 I’ll say it again- most underrated channel on the inner webs, camera angles, editing, no talking nonsense and tops every video off with a cat/dog. Thank you Mr Fordman and fam/team
Tip-Trick, when putting gas into carburetor take throttle and go wide open, then pour it. When you do this it opens butterflies and allows gas to go straight into the intake. Much quicker results this way I really love this channel, such awesome work
Just did the same thing.1962 cj5 setting over 10 yrs.Soaked the cylinders for a week with seafoam and turned it over by hand with a wrench.Then brought it back from the dead.
Класс 👍👍 замечательное видео. Я рад что старичок ожил. И ты дал ему шанс ещё поездить, мне кажется что он в конце заулыбался. Ну и работа резаком великолепная.
I had to wait till I had enough free time to comfortably sit and watch. Your cinematography is so good that I could feel the penetrating oil spatter onto my arms, and I flinched at the sight of the sparks from the torch. Mr. Roos' fabulous Go-Devil Engine. He took a mediocre flathead, upgraded and modernized the internals, and got 60 horsepower and a ton of torque out of it. And then they put it in their experimental Army quarter-ton truck and went out and helped to win the war. German troops prized their captured Jeeps for their pulling power, while complaining about the mileage. But we had plenty of oil and gas, we didn't care. While watching I could imagine Willie and Joe, stuck behind enemy lines in the Ardennes in the winter of '44, using similar hand tools to try and get their beloved Jeep started and running in order to try to make it back to our lines. Thanks!
Gotta say, I really admire your determination to get this thing running considering the circumstances of the weather, and the condition of the vehicle itself. Using simply what you have, and not being in a garage with a "clean and sanitary" environment makes it even more impressive. Now I really want to get my free Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel running.
Without a doubt, there is NO ONE making videos like this on YT. This young mans knowledge and resourcefulness is beyond the norm. It is so cool to see what and how he does things. I agree with everyone else, that because of his "style", he will achieve a large following of loyal subs. Keep going Simon, you've got it going on kid!
I always love videos seeing these old beasts get a (often final) ride, getting to relive their glory days before they're finally put to bed. Great work, keep doing what you do!
I love the video. The only thing bad that my thought process was yelling was "noooooo. shop vac the top of the engine before doing all that. " Shop vac is like watching someone pressure wash, so relaxing
What? …There is no happy ending? Showing the headlights disappearing in the darkness is the most cinematic thing way to show sadness of the car left behind! Bravo!
Just found this channel Man. The content with no words is so relaxing. Iv been doing stuff like this since I was 13 and can’t get enough of it. Good luck with the channel. I’m subscribed.
Hard to decide which thing I like best. The mechanical skills, the ingenuity, the quality of the recording or the fact you are saving these cars from going for scrap! Which ever I decide - well done!
"Perfect" episode! Who'd have taken odds this thing would not only run but move under its own power. Burning the mice nests out of the water channels and that wheel fix... next-level!
It's been a long time since I've watched such long videos from start to finish with such pleasure. To be so knowledgeable about technology, to be able to repair it effortlessly and to show it to the viewer in such an interesting way, you are simply talented. Looking forward to the new video.
Wow, as an Automotive college student i really find Pleasure and Inspiration watching Your Videos, keep up the works✊ can't wait to start working on project cars🙃
..and He said to Lazarus, "Get up, Lazarus!" and Lazarus arose. Such is Simon. He is like a messiah for the forgotten in the fields of ruin and the past. A boy blessed with the gift and skills to give new life to the abandoned. Only such a kind and patient person can have this gift. We see that in his heart there is love, both for the machines left to fate, and for the animals, and undoubtedly also for the neighbor. Thanks, Simon! Keep loving what you do!🍀
I've watched all your videos and this one is the best one yet. Looks like you had a lot of fun on this one. Cinematography keeps getting better and better with every video Simon!
in the first 5 minutes,he broke a whrench, his back,broke the pistons free and set the whole engine on FIRE...that definitely deserves a like...
Yep 👍👍
He broke two wrenches.😁
That's when I paused it to share with my old man. Knew it was a good one

Bending a valve back into alignment. I've never even heard that being suggested but you made it even work. Impressed me there.

There is not much need for a narrator and I appreciate the fact this person obviously understands that.
Another movie night provided by Mr. Fordman, cheers!

Thank you
Seeing the old boy running through the field made me think of an animal confined too long that was free to run at last. Thank you sir for what you do.
Best ever use of the word “perfect” when Simon finished “customizing” the new wheel
It’s hard to believe someone would let such a cool old vehicle be set to the side and just rust to pieces! Thank you for bringing it back to life!!!
I don’t understand why people do that 🤷 I would very much like to have an opportunity to find one of these old treasures.
Based on the dismantled engine, it seems someone was working on it when it was better looking and gave up halfway.

I had to wait till I had enough free time to comfortably sit and watch. Your cinematography is so good that I could feel the penetrating oil spatter onto my arms, and I flinched at the sight of the sparks from the torch.
Mr. Roos' fabulous Go-Devil Engine. He took a mediocre flathead, upgraded and modernized the internals, and got 60 horsepower and a ton of torque out of it. And then they put it in their experimental Army quarter-ton truck and went out and helped to win the war. German troops prized their captured Jeeps for their pulling power, while complaining about the mileage. But we had plenty of oil and gas, we didn't care.
While watching I could imagine Willie and Joe, stuck behind enemy lines in the Ardennes in the winter of '44, using similar hand tools to try and get their beloved Jeep started and running in order to try to make it back to our lines.
Thanks!
Gotta say, I really admire your determination to get this thing running considering the circumstances of the weather, and the condition of the vehicle itself. Using simply what you have, and not being in a garage with a "clean and sanitary" environment makes it even more impressive. Now I really want to get my free Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel running.
Without a doubt, there is NO ONE making videos like this on YT. This young mans knowledge and resourcefulness is beyond the norm. It is so cool to see what and how he does things. I agree with everyone else, that because of his "style", he will achieve a large following of loyal subs. Keep going Simon, you've got it going on kid!
I always love videos seeing these old beasts get a (often final) ride, getting to relive their glory days before they're finally put to bed. Great work, keep doing what you do!
I love the video. The only thing bad that my thought process was yelling was "noooooo. shop vac the top of the engine before doing all that. " Shop vac is like watching someone pressure wash, so relaxing

What? …There is no happy ending? Showing the headlights disappearing in the darkness is the most cinematic thing way to show sadness of the car left behind! Bravo!
That is the most stuck, crusty ICE I've ever seen a revivalists tackle. Bravo!
Just found this channel
Man. The content with no words is so relaxing. Iv been doing stuff like this since I was 13 and can’t get enough of it. Good luck with the channel. I’m subscribed.
Thanks!
It`s amazing how you bring the dead back to life not to mention your fabricating and patience on the work you do and your editing. Well done Simon👍
Hard to decide which thing I like best. The mechanical skills, the ingenuity, the quality of the recording or the fact you are saving these cars from going for scrap!
Which ever I decide - well done!
"Perfect" episode!
Who'd have taken odds this thing would not only run but move under its own power.
Burning the mice nests out of the water channels and that wheel fix... next-level!
What an excellent revival of a piece of good old fashioned American automotive history. Well done!
I started following you like two weeks ago and you’ve gained like 30-40k followers since. You’re doing something people love!
It's been a long time since I've watched such long videos from start to finish with such pleasure. To be so knowledgeable about technology, to be able to repair it effortlessly and to show it to the viewer in such an interesting way, you are simply talented. Looking forward to the new video.
The Videos better than Netflix and co😅
Wow, as an Automotive college student i really find Pleasure and Inspiration watching Your Videos, keep up the works✊ can't wait to start working on project cars🙃
You are a Monster...creative, determined and always sure of what you are doing....CONGRATULATIONS...Greetings from Spain
Indeed! 😉
Reminds me of the 1/4 ton mail jeep used to deliver mail in the USA. It was much the same vehicle but with right hand steering
I like how you edited together torquing the head bolts like HowToBasic throws eggs.
..and He said to Lazarus, "Get up, Lazarus!" and Lazarus arose.
Such is Simon. He is like a messiah for the forgotten in the fields of ruin and the past.
A boy blessed with the gift and skills to give new life to the abandoned. Only such a kind and patient person can have this gift. We see that in his heart there is love, both for the machines left to fate, and for the animals, and undoubtedly also for the neighbor.
Thanks, Simon!
Keep loving what you do!🍀
I've watched all your videos and this one is the best one yet. Looks like you had a lot of fun on this one. Cinematography keeps getting better and better with every video Simon!
The best will it run for years, the lad is not stopping for no one and learning so much on the job.
