The Channel
Bullnose Garage focuses on the maintenance and restoration of a 1985 F-150 and the associated Garage, parts, accessories, tools, and other stuff needed to keep an old vehicle running in good shape. The channel mostly features videos that focus on the Bullnose, but I do plan on incorporating reviews and other automotive related content along the way. I’m always finding new ideas for videos.
The Start
I started the Bullnose Garage YouTube Channel in September of 2020. I’ve always enjoyed watching YouTube and I also enjoy presenting and video editing. It seemed like a natural fit to start a channel. In 2020, partly due to the Coronavirus, my job changed from one where I could be creative to a more support oriented role. I found myself missing the creative process, so I thought a YouTube channel could fill that void in my life. It’s been a lot of fun and I find myself really enjoying it, even if I don’t get many views. Hopefully my enjoyment of the topic and the creative process really comes through in the channel.
Who Am I?
Hi! I’m Ed, and I like Ford stuff. I also like family stuff. I hate mushrooms and love my mother. I have a wife and two kids, and I live in the blazingly hot desert of New Mexico, USA. By day I’m an IT guru and work on everything from servers to code to cybersecurity. By night I’m basically a full time dad, but when i get a chance I like to work around the house and, of course, on my trusty old 1985 F-150.
Am I an expert in this stuff? No. Please don’t email me or message me asking for help with your truck, because I’m just some shmoe with a high level of Google-Fu who knows how to research and learns things pretty quick. I really enjoy doing the research on how to do stuff I’ve never done before, so I figured I could start a channel (or two) to show other folks who don’t have the time, energy, or desire to do the deep research themselves.
I also really enjoy making videos and teaching other folks stuff I know.
The Future
In future videos, I plan on talking about my upcoming engine swap to a 351w, potentially swapping the transmission, updating electrical and lights, suspension, adding a sound system, and maybe even priming and painting. I’ll be doing lots of work on the interior and exterior. I also have plans for getting a trailer and parting out other F-150 trucks. Who knows how far this will take me? I’m not normally an automotive guy. This is more of a hobby for me, so things could get interesting as a I learn how to do this stuff. Maybe my viewers will learn with me.
I hope to continue the channel through to the ‘completion’ of my 85 F-150 and beyond. If you have a moment, giving me a like or a subscribe will really help me out. Thanks for dropping by!
