Forget the haters. It is your car and you are getting it back on the road! That is great in itself! Good video as always.
Yup
He has the true Hot Rod spirit. Run what you got.

It's your car, put whatever you want in it.
I would never cringe....when hearing you talk about dropping an LS into this rig......it puts a smile on my face.....and I am looking forward to the finished results......
Wife and I love watching your channel. Always something interesting going on in your shop.
Your car - your choice. Everyone else can play with their own toys …💪👍🏼
I think it's amazing you drive your old cars in the Winter
I love how you use what you have That's the way I was raised
There is a kinda charm to these older cars. Imagine a lick of paint and a bit of TLC, then drive it to do your local shop at the Mall to see who notices.
I really like the Mercury! Thanks Brent!
What Really Matters Is If You Like It, Thanks For The Videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That will be a great winter car,Ls,overdrive,command start,cruise,whats not to like.I would go with more modern diff,we know you cant resist a burn out,or a donut or two.pablo will love it.
Your ambition astounds me
I love old car styles with modern engines.Keep truckin man.
Here to watch another build project..Thank you
Ended too quickly. With Brent, there is always a laugh or two - maybe more. His laugh is infectious.
Another nice project finding parts my be a small challenge but with your talent it will get done no worries 👍
I don't hate the LS. Best engine available it you really want it as an everyday driver. It's UGLY like all modern engines but fast, great drivability and decent fuel mileage. Sooooo, whip out the mig and get to it. I love fabrication. 50+ years for me and I'm still at it.
I am putting an LS in my 67' Ford f-100 and could care less what anyone thinks lol I paid 1/3 of what it would have cost me to get a fuel injected Ford motor where I live. It will be a daily driver. I can find LS parts cheap and easily. So use what you have!
@@josephwilliams8985 Ya thing is if you want to Turbo it [low or average compression high boost] you can pop two different tunes on the laptop.. one for the regular family stuff and then one to fire up for the track or smoking the tires sort of deal. Get great mileage for the traveling yada yada. There are so many you can lift out of the scrapyards and salvage yards... built like tanks across the bottom. Affordable.
@@josephwilliams8985 It depends.If I was doing a brand new build and a full custom, I would definitely go with a Coyote or a Ford Windsor crate motor. If it's just a knock around, I would put whatever I had in it.
Good work 👌 👍 continue when finished l will buy this car 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
SO MANY PROJECTS NOT ENOUGH TIME ALLTOGETHER BUT HAVING FUN DOING . YOU AWESOME CRAFTMEN AND WING TO MAKE HAPPEN
Some fancy footwork getting her safely into the shop. Looking forward to this build. Cheers!
I live for this channel
..gotta have it...
Build what you want i envy your skills and abilities. I really appreciate your channel. Thanks John from arizona
So what is better? A car from the early 50s rotting away in someone’s yard or one that is in use with whatever drivetrain works on it? I’d opt for the second;it’s not a Duesenberg or a Bugatti after all
Agree with you completely. Better to get out on the road and be used, than to wait (in vain) for an original renovation that will never be done.
Farm fresh from Saskatchewan, love it!
Cool old Merc Monarch. 😎👍🇨🇦
Hi Brent (I'm the previous owner of the Monarch) .
Yes the kids used to also push the car into the ditch , so th old school bus driver locked it up good. Lol.
The master cylinder is a 1959 Ford car.
Well young man you are not kinda lazy ,I am expert in that category .Love it more please .
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Yeah! Carona and I watched on a HOT Saturday afternoon before I fire up the Snapper and go mow! You are pretty skillful with that skidsteer!
The wood screwed into the car was gold! And it’s you car and your money and time, do what you want
It's your car, put whatever you want in it...
I have to tell ya I first saw you on DD speed shop and since then me and my 83 year old pop watch everyone of your videos.. great work really enjoy hanging out with you and the dogs cheers.
Pelle in Stockholm here. LS! YEA!
keep doing what you do !! remember "opinions are like assholes everyone has one" screw them lol
And they all stink......
I respect what others do with there cars who cares what motor it has the car is cool thats all that matters
I like that Idea of a good winter start and run engine that the LS has proven itself as one of the best. I like your laugh and saying this will be easy, for me probably would take me over a year and still not be finished. Like watching you fab stuff together and it looks good because it is fixed good
Sweet looking car there 👍🏻
Brent: I have a friend who bought a 33 Ford 3 window 30 yrs ago. It was an old roundly round car and had lived a hard life. Anyway he thought he had a pair of cherry doors until he ground down the doors and found some wood screws. Moments later he realized someone had carved a couple of 2x6's into lower door bottoms! They fit pretty good though!😆
I’m sure the haters will be ok. They can pull their skirts up and get over it. Keep doing what you do. 👍👍
you the man put what ever you want in it
I’d never complain about your choices. Makes no sense. These are your projects and I’m just here to watch you make them. I’ll be here pretty much no matter what you do… because…well…you’re terrific to watch. 😊👍👍
I like the LS engine idea, do it. do what you like, its your car!
This build will be interesting 👍👍
I wish you well with the Merc wishing you wouldn’t of LS but it is what it is 👍
Good plan making it a driver. It’s a good looking car. LS motor isn’t cheating. I would like no matter what motor was in it as long as the motor came from North America. 👍🇺🇸🇨🇦
I appreciate the decision to keep this car's original shape. Your reasoning to keep this one and maybe chop the other one makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for another worthwhile video. Yours are always at or near the top of my watchlist.
Hooray a mercury with no chop! Thanks
All about the skills and journey Bro
Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱
These Mercury's are still in demand part of hot rod history.
The grill looks hungry👍
Cool Merc👍😎!
How awesome would it be to just walk out into your yard and decide well today I think I'll work on a 51 Merc. This channel is my favorite. I've "borrowed" quite a few tips from Brent for my own project. As far as the LS goes who cares. Like Brent said the next person can rip it out if they want to.
You have more talent in your little finger than I do in my entire body! Love your channel, thanks for posting.
You’re doing the work and spending the $$$ you put whatever you want in it
There's no hate here. I have seen what happens when you put an LS into one of your projects and the result is always good. Keep at it!
Do your magic the way you need to !
Your always a Great watch Kudos Brent !
I love it, she'll have a have a little get up and go for you. And I like keeping them original as well, even if they are not the most desireable car out there. Great show.
Just love the music makes me want to eat a burrito 🤣
I enjoy your work. The Merc would look awesome completely renovated. My favourite was the GENERAL !
I've been waiting for you to work on this one , can't wait to see what you do with it!
Just happened onto your site; love the garage, I come from a family of mechanics and my grandfather's shop was just like yours. I just love the smell of an active old style shop. I tend to be a purist, but I grew up driving these things and sure understand the desire for reliability and appreciate you keeping as much of its character as practical.
Keep doing what you're doing brother, love your channel 👍
I love the sewaside doors
I am not a big LS swap fan, but I can see the point on these old cars and it gets them back on the roads where they belong and not just rusting away.
Just do your thing, and don’t give a nut for the haters, love your videos.
Already I love this car
I love this channel, so chilled, a fresh coffee and join the journey.. I have no affinity to any make or model or engine, I just take this at face value and I’m happy… keep doing what you do … greeting from England :::
Good driver. Love the Suicide doors.
I love your show but the murc is full of surprises, I can't wait to see the rest of it on your next show.
Looking forward to this build she's a great old car
let people complain, you cant beat readily available, cheap, and reliable!
351 Windsor would be nice but if you aint got one then you aint got one. Whatever it takes. Looking forward to this build.
You move pretty darn quick for an old guy! Ha! I’m 63 so don’t take offense. Love your channel.
I like your plan for this car future, a real survivor.. Desirable, suicide four door, creme puff!
Love it - Built the same car 6 yrs ago - Camaro clip is a very easy swap - those tail lights are 51 Monarch / Lincoln only (very cool) - I put lots of very enjoyable miles on it - you'll be a happy guy
49,/51Monarch are rare in OZ so send her over when your done 😊👍 .
Crazy bout a mercury/monarch
I love the old car
Great car. Thanks to share.
Really great video thanks
Really hard to hate on the LS. It's physically small, super reliable, cheap, parts available everywhere, makes good power, strong enough to handle significant boost and yields great fuel economy. You'd have to be silly or wanting to maintain an original driveline to overlook it.
Great plan. You know we all know we usually always go with our Gut!
The music you put in when moving it into the shed suited it perfect haha and it wants a 351 Cleveland lol
A classic ride
Good taste in music. 👍
Kanter is usually a good source for obsolete brake, steering and suspension components. They're not cheap like Rock Auto unfortunately.
Hey Mortske we're watching the same channel haha!
I watch your channel too. Never miss an episode.
@@nicolatesla768 Much appreciated!
Been waiting for this one Brent,
Love the doors! Looks like the front and rear are the same!
Dash was different on American Merc.
it's good someone's going to keep one of those stock for the most part !
I don’t mind four doors, when the rears are suicide doors. Looks sporty
Yeah, the rear suicide doors are sick.
I like old engines as much as I like old cars
Enjoyed........................ 👍👍👍
Putting an LS in it will make that thing run the best it has ever run in its life. 🤣😂👍 stick in what you can get I say.
Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do - so as long as she is a dependable runner!!! WTG, Brent!!! 👍👍👍 (win!)
The beginning of your music almost sounded like it was the beginning of the song, red, red, wine!!! To bad about copy rights!!! Thanks for sharing Brent!!
Command start .. you mean remote start , like from the kitchen window to warm up car before leaving ? from Ohio here , I like all your videos . also like the ls motors . power steering in the snow . power brakes , 5.3 power = great fun
I have done a few 4 doors and just put them on caprice frames then put an LS in it such a nice car after that and not very much work amazing driver
I did one like that to, think it really depends how bad the floors are if I do another one like that. as it was a lot of work and wasn't happy with the hvac stuff in the car after.
@@HalfassKustoms o i did not keep any of the HVAC from the caprice. i dont have AC or heat in most my cars i live in CA on the beach. HAHAH thanks for a fun video
Man, I don't know how you do it. I really enjoy your content, yeah, absolutely forget the haters man, your car, do as you please. Such skills, amazing. Plus I love your eh, whatever attitude, lol, it's the best.
Brent, I know you will do exactly what you want as always, but my twisted mind sees that big 4 door on a 4x4 truck frame lifted on 35's or bigger ready for anything a Canadian winter can throw at it!! 🤪 Kinda like a car version of The General 😁
you should NOT have to apologize about how you are going to build out YOUR car?! If others don't like it, they can go build one their way or "change the channel"! I dislike the saying but very unfortunately in this day and age, it is SOOOOOO true.........."Haters are going to hate"...............and they DO! Just started watching and like what I see. Thank you for the FREE entertainment/education!
