The whole family rolls up their sleeves to get our 1966 Ford Falcon—lovingly known as Wonky—ready to hit the road before our son leaves for the United States Military Academy at West Point. With a tight deadline and emotions running high, we tackle key mechanical tasks, and try to turn this classic into a drivable machine.
From turning wrenches to sharing laughs, this video captures the spirit of teamwork, love for vintage Fords, and the drive to finish what we started. Whether you're into classic car restoration, family vlogs, or just enjoy a heartfelt DIY journey—this one's for you.
Highlights in this episode:
Everyone pitches in—including Mom and siblings
Fixing up crucial systems to get Wonky road-ready
One step closer to a rolling sendoff for our cadet
