Ages ago (late 70's) I put a cruise control system that I scavenged from an Oldsmobile on my '66 Impala convertible. It also got 6-way seats from a Cadillac, and the powerglide was swapped out for a 3-speed manual with an overdrive. I used the turn signal stalk from the Olds which came with the cruise control switches built in. It came out nice. :)

I’m literally obsessed with modernising classic cars

Great job again Ellie and dad and Carl.

Cant believe it been 2 years already LOL. Been doing a fantastic job Ellie on learning and kudos too to dad for being a great teacher in some of the projects and having the patience to teach you and have you do the work instead of him so you learn how it is done right ;) One thing I will mention to you and this from experience of being a restoration garage...keep your eye on what you are using for lubrication as you dont want any silicon (like WD40 products or the like) used in the garage as it will stay in the air for months and land on your car surface...this gets under the surface of the primer or the paint and you wont notice it for a year or so after the paint is on the car. It can happen, been there myself, but dont use that in the garage ;) Just a thought for ya from personal experience and saving grace with yourself on the "oh crap, what happened here" in a year or so LOL. Keep up the great work, I am soon to start working on a 62 Ranchero restor mod but always fun to watch your progress.

Nicely engineered system. Reminds me of the Dana kits the autoparts stores use to sell for under a 100.00 many years ago. I like how Dakota integrates the kit into the dash. Looks seamless and very neat. Nice work.

I wish I had working turn signals ... getting fancy over there great work 👌

Nice addition to Carl! I think I’ll have to check that out

Very cool!!! Looks like a solid system!!!

Nice work installing it. Cruise control is a great feature in cars. All my cars have it , but they are factory installed not aftermarket. My 99 Corolla has it , 88 Mustang and my 83 F100 has it. And they all work great, I used it every time i get on the freeway. Just don't use it in rainy or snowy condition. The rear tires can break loose .

Ellie On my 1966 Mustang which is a 200 Six Cylinder, I did install a Rack and Pinion steering unit. Love it! I shaved off about 75-100 lbs. it’s Manual and now there is no “Bumb Steer” either. Turns are a little bit tighter and very responsive too. Thanks for the Video.

That is awesome...great cruising Very informative

Interesting project! That is a very useful upgrade to an older car, we get spoiled driving new vehicles with loads of creature comforts, why not bring Carl into the 21st century. I have been noticing when you and your dad work around the motor, the carburetor is exposed, please find some kind of a cover you can quickly put on and remove, maybe a spray can cap or small storage container. Then get into the habit of using it whenever the air cleaner is off.

sweet video! thank you! 🙏

A next great Job and Video Love it 👍❤️👍

Wish I had that system on my Mustang when I was driving from Norfolk VA to Atlanta GA every weekend I did not have duty while in the Navy to see my now wife. She was worth a bit of pain or discomfort I suppose.

What a great system . All he's missing now is shiny paint .

Love the dash and cruise

Top work!

First comment #garagegang

Wow! Such an awesome channel! Love it! I wanna do this on my xterra

I had cruise control on my 65 ... I put a snow brush against the seat to the pedal , it worked great ! Mine cost .49 cents

Great video!! Great hair thats my wife’s favorite color Purple!!

Wow do you sound exhausted while you and your dad were threading the cable sheath.

This is awesome

Ok... I dont want kids... But if i have want i want something like you! Somebody to share some of my dreams!!!

HUM, wasn't aware such was available, ALL those wires spook me though

Guess why was so many motor inns. Feet fall off. My dad used his left foot many time. Pretty scary. Wow have wifi and now cruse control. What think next for modern devices?

I wish your dad was my neighbor.

kind of like Velma Dinkley with the glasses on lol

Is it possible to install smart controls on old car Hyundai 2003 Santa Fe and Avante?

Hi Ellie. There seem to be a couple of different versions of this cruise control. Which one did you use for Carl?

I love this project so much, if you’re ever interested in talking I would be honoured. I’m a slightly older but I’m an teenager with an 66 falcon and the same goals as you. Maybe we can exchange ideas and talk about the cars. I’ve always wanted to talk to someone around my age who has the same passion as I do, especially another female in a male dominate trade

🙂🙂🙂

Does it kick out of CC when you put in the clutch?

Where can I buy a kit?

Hou cant even see whst theyre doing.

and here i am avoiding putting in cruise control on my 2016 kia rio... that i've had for 4 months... that literally just goes in the steering wheel... loooooooooooool.
