[@billschipper1718]

Very cool car. Love the copper color accents parts. When you see all the parts spread out you get an idea of how much work is involved in this project.

[@PitchUpCampsiteReviews]

Absolutely loved the restoration, not so much on not seeing and listening to the individuals working on it. Compressing this into a short video was good but I think hearing and actually seeing the people putting the work in really does show that doing these things are no walk in the park and they take a lot of patients and dedication. Really fantastic restoration but it would be good to congratulate the actual people on it.

[@williammackenzie788]

GREAT TO SEE THAT PEOPLE OUT THERE, STILL HAVE THE PATIENCE AND SKILLS TO DO THIS IN AN AGE OF COMPUTER RULES ALL.

[@waltercooling8907]

Wow!!! Amazed at the engineering for its day. Had a '49 club coupe in '60. Your attention to detail insistence on thoroughness is awesome. Going to see the '49 next- thanks!!

[@JEANSDEMARCO]

Had a 53 Merk back in early sixties!! The flatty ran like a kitten!! Bought it for 75 bucks! Ran it through the car wash, and it looked like new!! Two tone red and black!

[@grantgullikson4093]

As a little boy , I remember these old Mercury cars were always being customized into a cool rolling machine with Dice hangings in the window with beautiful paint jobs and mag wheels .

[@shaynechild2517]

I love everything but the final paint! I thought they would paint it the color of the rims ! You had me right up to that point. But AWSOME AWESOME !!!!!!

[@richardcline1337]

I agree, I don't like the color at all. Would have preferred, since they put in all of that time effort, to have seen it returned to it's factory condition. Still, to their credit, they didn't Mexicanize the car and turn it into a rolling, hopping pile of junk!

[@doubleagent1851]

Richard Cline i hate when is see that done to classic cars

[@aullaalhose2225]

غعطههه73ك7جكنعونةهمخخخ990

[@user-nt3uh8ru6s]

How do people not like this color? The entire set is just badass and vintage.

[@crazymonkeys7802]

It's good to hear that people are taking in these rusted, abandoned vintage cars and restoring them, there aren't as many of like 1910's to 1980's cars around now. As we know the numbers of all types of vintage cars are slowly but surely decreasing and if people aren't taking care of vintage cars their numbers will continue to decrease until they're either rare or until there's none left in the future.

[@MegaRcdrifter]

If you restore those cars you can get a boat load of cash for it

[@danbasta3677]

This car is a beautiful, good looking street machine. They don't nake em like this anymore, that's for sure. Can't beat em either. Beautiful detail work, beautifully put together, and can't wsit to see the final and complete results. Thanks much for showing all of this, very enjoyable, love them old cars and trucks.

[@sekainiheiwa3650]

What the fuck you are talking, are you blind ?

[@soeyonoopo2756]

Ini baru antiq tentunya setelah renovasi besar, pemiliknya mendapat kepuasan tersendiri walau banyak biaya keluar karena mengurus kendaraan yang sudah tidak jalan perlu kesabaran danmodal besar tetapi kepuasan akan didapatkan.....selamat...memiliki mobil.lawas....

[@Laxpowertoo]

It's nice to see an original Merc without a neck breaking hack and slash roof chop.

[@dennismcclain1931]

I agree, I prefer the original factory condition verses a clown car.

[@Kamdeboo-kz7lo]

Thanks. I love the late 40's to early 50's.

[@shortcut579]

very cool car , nice work .my dad had a 50 or 51 while stationed in groton ct .,in the mid 50's said he used to race it on a dirt track there .

[@jonathanhall7903]

Wonderful project. Would have enjoyed seeing some action video of the process rather than before/after parts alone.

[@johnfordham5024]

The rear brake shoes are back to front. These self energising brakes (caused by the rotation of the drum) have the brake shoe with the most lining material at the rear. Check the wear after 10,000 miles and you'll see. The helpful Aussie.

[@jcw9396]

Beautiful work , floors , trunk and all leading indicators of real craftsmanship.......well done

[@DurandMj]

It's good to see one that's not butchered or chop!..

[@blubberbean9558]

Dawg i love how the black and the copper paint contrast each other

[@danielaguero3766]

DAMN nice car like that you use as many of the original pieces but upgrade where needed I myself don't care if car is original or restomod as long as it is back from the dead that's something that other people should appreciate

[@mattluckeydotcom]

The owner is super cool! He sent me his fuel door since his was kustom. My 51 has a piece of that car now!

[@MonroeHandyMan]

Awesome build! Looked so much better with the black high gloss wheels at the end.

51 Merc is one of my favorite older cars. Question is why. Clearly is is a project someone funded who had the mega funds to do so.

Your tha man dude! Good job! I know what it takes to restore. I had a rusted 56 f100 and a 58 Fairlane, I had to modify because of the lack of oem parts. But still sold for more than I had in it. Good luck.

Doggone beautiful job on that restoration! I was born a year prior to that manufacture model and as a kid loved those beautiful metal creations!

[@Chipchase780]

I love that body shape from the late 40’s early 50’s, and this is a superb job. The paint choice and quality of the work is just excellent, the finished car looks stunning. Well done !!

awesome result - when a restoration silently evolves into a rebuild

[@my81lowrider]

the 51 Merc was the holy grail of 50s hot rodders The only car that came close in styling was the Hudson Hornet which had a similar body style but was much faster. I don't remember seeing any customized Hornets.Hell, there's a lot I don't remember A chopped and channeled Merc was truly beautiful

[@davidhumby]

I Do love to see a resoration being done right and this fits the bill

What a fantastic job, not sure of your time frame, very detailed, lots of labor of love - I thought it was Great....

[@playlistarchivist4783]

A great project my friend! But there was a few things that I questioned: - Why are both bumpers still rusted? - Did you guys complete the interior of the car? Because I didn’t see it. - What about the windows & windshield?

Not a fan of the color scheme. But always enjoy full restoration vids!

[@CherokeeFlutist59]

my Papaw had an old '49 Mercury in the family garage for near 20 years while I grew up with my grandparents. And it never was finished. He passed away from lung cancer a year ago and it pained me to know the car was towed away. It's still a regret I hold to not help him with the car or lack of interest when I was a kid. That's one thing I want to do in my life; restore his first car (which was a 1949 Mercury) in his honor. And I hope one day I can make that real.
