    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.

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

    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.

    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....

    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!

    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.

    • @richardcline1337
      @richardcline1337 5 лет назад +5

      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!

    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.
