After what that car`s been through, it definitely deserves another chance.

@anibalbabilonia1867 Год назад

I definitely agree with you on this one!

@TNguy1957 Год назад

Heck yeah!! Take it all the way, ya'll. Encapsulate with a clearcoat, good floor, headliner, etc. And name her Phoenix, of course! 🤠

@jadegb5474 5 месяцев назад

26.57 is pure gold. ....father and son and pedal to the metal. The look of joy is unbeatable, I wish that I had had a father to have fun like this.

@bgee461 4 месяца назад

Yeah, these two giggling like school girls is totally worth watching every video. ❤

@tonydowd8566 Год назад

I say to myself "these guys ain't right in the head", and then in total amazement and disbelief, watch y'all bring something like that ol Comet back from the dead... Patience is a virtue. Carry on gentlemen..

Those rims totally make this car look 10x better than it ever did. I think this build deserves all the attention you can afford!

@lateefcarrere1649 Год назад

The "Crispy Comet" is something else, Michael. I can't help but give this car a "thumbs up" for all of the work you and your Dad has in it, and for it to run and drive is amazing. Will you be able to register it when you're done?

@1954shadow Год назад

With all the rust, maybe call this ride, “Tetanus Shot.”

@BudgetBuildz Год назад

I believe that is a fitting name 🤣

@davidbenji1 Год назад

Speaking of tetanus, remember folks that even though we were all taught that it comes from getting poked or cut with rusty objects that that is nonsense and that it actually lives in the soil. If you do get a cut and haven't had a tdap shot in the past 5 years, go get your booster. The nurse told me yesterday when I was getting a booster for my boy that if you do get tetanus that there is no cure for it and the symptoms, such as a tight jaw, will stay with you for a lifetime. Always play it safe. This has been a public health announcement.

First thing The guy said this was his pride and joy and he does that in the floors 🤦‍♂️ I’m not a fan of the rusty 💩but with this I would give it a light clean and clear coat the whole out side I would love to see a proper interior so nice on the inside rusty outside Top work Michael and micheals dad 👍👍👍 Some suspension bushing work maybe 😂😂

@opethopeth Год назад

@tombrenes2411 Год назад

In the 70s. 80s 90s and 2000s they scraped tons of good burnt cars and trucks Especially holy grail cars Till 2010 have I seen greedy auctions sell them (insurance would scrap them) This is a thrash jumper and drift car Love all the hard work After a fire all the metal is thinner and wobbles not structurally sound

@jaywebb3105 Год назад

It's amazing that you have got this thing running again. My friend Brent at Halfass Kustoms just lost his shop to a fire and lost his current project and my favorite 1937 Ford ratrod truck. Maybe there is hope for her rise from the ashes after all.

@MrBrombomb Год назад

Windows, interior work , suspension, headlights, taillights, a new grille, & some clear coat are all this car needs to be completely roadworthy. It should be dubbed as The Crispy Critter. The engine & exhaust sound wicked as well.

@stefanschneider3681 Год назад

For an absolutely no-car-guy like myself this is even more interesting than a rusted old car. Because you really have to tear it down to the plane metal and remove every panel, thus I can see what's going on underneath. Certainly little issues with accessability 🤣! Great job 👍

@cameronerickson7869 Год назад

You boys have a great life buying and restoring cars together enjoy it while you can as you only get one. As most of the panels are badly distorted l don't see the point painting, l'd give it a light sand and clear coat it, that engine sounds awesome and is definitely a bonus.
