[@dawayneduffy3509]

Hey Mark. Sweet new addition to the empire stables. I thought you may have been building your home. Congratulations, keep up the great work. Don't apologise for not being on here. You're doing something far more interesting than keeping up shmucks entertained .

[@fo82rd12]

Good to see ya back. Mustang looks mint. The name written in texta on that old exhaust is my local exhaust shop, which has since closed down. Mustang must have been local to me at some stage

[@clintvalli6508]

Hell yeh, I knew I should’ve flicked the tube on earlier this morning.

[@TheIronEmpire]

🙌🏼

[@bradj78]

Thank you for the new content and congrats on the Mustang. It looks exactly how I would do one if I pull my finger out and actually buy one.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers! Hopefully, you'll get that one soon

[@markscott2360]

It's a beaut bro🤘👍

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate

[@garrywilliams8717]

Great to see the channel back

[@chawalitD]

So good Mark. This is the car my mrs wanted too.

[@TheIronEmpire]

🙌🏼

[@bruceclarke6368]

I had a 67 XR Fairmont with a 289 and the Holly 350 and it was powerful and quick. Without touching the break pedal it would burn out through first and second gear and easily

[@TheIronEmpire]

That's awesome, exactly what this thing does! Haha so cool

[@SalisburyKarateClub]

I knew a guy who had one of those, he had a factory and decided to do some donuts inside. Let's just say it didn't end well. Man we gave him some shit.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Haha oh no 😂

[@damianratcliffe7328]

Awsome to see ya back mark 😀

[@user-ql2ll4vp9o]

Nice stang mate. Great to see you back on the channel, cheers to you both 👍

[@matthewriley9363]

Great to see you back mate

[@JosephHanson-l1r]

Awesome car man you deserve the splurge. Keep it drive it enjoy it. Good luck with the new house.

[@stringybarkin]

Thanks for coming back!! Glad to see you again

[@dandarkracing]

So sick 🙌

[@TheIronEmpire]

😎

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

You'll gain nothing from a 4 barrel swap. (ask me how I know) 100% agree with not touching it

[@brettchristoffel6391]

I'm an Aussie and the 65 model is my all time favourite mustang

[@theoilgallery5773]

Good to see ya back man! I need to come up and check out the build, I'm off all socials now so will have to catch you the old way by sms or pigeon carrier

[@redspotaudio]

Good one Mark

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate

[@danamg9328]

Great to see the Iron Empire back, nice Mustang too! I have built before, mammoth job, seems like it never ends, best of luck with it. I remember one of your earlier videos you recommended a window tinter, I can't remember which video it was though, can you let me know? Iv'e recently moved to SA from NSW and want to get a couple of my cars tinted, would rather go with someone you recommend than just finding someone online. Thanks mate.

[@dalejordan2565]

Love the stang mate those red walls and blue paint is the shiz ❤

[@elisemcclymont8029]

Love the Mustang but I am impressed with the new house Congratulations to you both

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers! Thanks heaps, we're stoked with it! 🙌🏼

[@elisemcclymont8029]

@ I would be too Looks great and very peaceful

[@EverythingFuzzY]

Beautiful car mate, well done! Would totally watch house build videos on the other channel if you’re planning on doing any. Just subscribed to it!

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Nice rig there Mark👍

[@mixalis6168]

I have a 66 Fastback, briliiant car, with some nice mods.. Enjoy you 65

[@benjohnson7170]

Ken nice one mate.

[@68mustangmustang77]

Nice stang and wheels are perfect 👌. Looks like u live in a beautiful part of the world nice rural setting....awesome lost my 68 stang in last April floods we had owned it now for nearly 31 years. A bit like you I'm sick of fixing them would just like a cruiser 🍻👍

[@TheIronEmpire]

Sorry to hear about your 68, tough times, hopefully you can find another one! Cheers mate

[@Nutty-w2k]

Awesome mate 👏 well done. I love the Mustang....hey mate for shits and giggles how about do a collab with the Tick Tock inspector on your house build he is a fellow You Tuber under Site inspection you may have already heard of him or seen his videos. Would make a very interesting video on your wife's channel showing the real, well supposed to be real builders how to build a house....it may just grow her channel from his audience....something to consider..

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks mate, unsure I wanna see my own house fail to comply though! Hahaha

[@Nutty-w2k]

@TheIronEmpire 😅🤣😂 was just a thought, all good mate

[@carstacks71]

​@@TheIronEmpirelol

[@chrismoustrides3905]

Good stuff 💯

[@jayemcintyre2785]

Do you need to use an additive to get the car running properly on unleaded?

[@stigmata454]

Nice, I love that colour combo. You gotta put a 4 barrel on it tho mate, it's still a V8, let her breathe.😋😋

[@knight2425]

Not my thing but would take one of them every day of the week over the current model, if it’s a fastback version then hell yeah I like them

[@zedl28et]

I thought I saw you roll the mustang in to Murray bridge cars and coffee this morning. But it wasn’t you. It looked pretty similar except the wheels

[@smally2892]

that's my old 66 that lives up that way now, has Torq Thrust wheels & blue trim

[@bigal878]

Great job on the house and whilst I think those Mustangs are girls cars (maybe why Andrea likes them lol) and they are not my cup of tea, it looks very nice. Well done 👍🇦🇺

[@michaelb8774]

Great stuff Mark. I know you're a country boy but (suggestion only) Perhaps keep the unnecessary swearing off the channel to make it more family friendly so the kids can enjoy watching it with me.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to keep it more family-friendly. I was much more fussier in the early episodes, I even edited it out but lately these videos take me so many takes to get right that my the end of it my frustration comes out in my language 😂

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

I still want LTD but that just me 🤣

[@davidrose2382]

Never really d9ne it for me ,,,,,you've bought two mate

[@mrporsche4236]

The standard look withe standard height looks better. It looks wrong that low

[@WilliamTurner-s1n]

Neighbour hater over 9000db edition. Oh you got to sit there for 20 minutes at 6 am to let it warm up

[@AWAKEALIVELIVIN]

Red walls on everything. Be different seeing something just original

[@AndrewMonaghan-j5q]

Just a heads up Mark their cocos palms in the background and they are a weed , the fruit brings in the birds and the fruit bats that s*** all over your cars and it will remove paint off vehicles , you need to get rid of them ,

[@TheIronEmpire]

Not here mate, they aren’t flourishing here like they would in more suitable climate, we already have a ton or Rosellas and other fruit eating birds but they don’t bother with these trees be side they never flower or fruit.. Thanks for the heads up through mate

[@gummyroid]

Lumpy and loud, or nothin

[@gummyroid]

Lumpy and LOUD or nothing.
