After what that car`s been through, it definitely deserves another chance.
I definitely agree with you on this one!
Heck yeah!! Take it all the way, ya'll. Encapsulate with a clearcoat, good floor, headliner, etc. And name her Phoenix, of course! 🤠
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.
Yeah, these two giggling like school girls is totally worth watching every video. ❤
Those rims totally make this car look 10x better than it ever did. I think this build deserves all the attention you can afford!
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..
Carro bom de mais relíquias
は？意味わからん😂
you obviously never seen the story of Phoenix. DIY gang and his restoration of burned Hellcat
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?
When i was 20... i had the 4 door version and this video has made this old man cry. Do it to it guys!
Thanks for making my Friday morning 10x's better, I love seeing you guys wrenching an being passionate about anything you get to work on and your father/son dynamic is beautiful. Love you guys!!
Would not waste money on that junk that's dum
You are a huge inspiration. The condition of most of the cars you start with is well beyond most projects I gave up on in the past.
With all the rust, maybe call this ride, “Tetanus Shot.”
I believe that is a fitting name 🤣
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.
@@davidbenji1 I have a couple more years left on my shot.
@@1954shadow Good for you for keeping track! I can't remember when my last one was.
Or maybe name it "Dewatiamo" = Definitely wasted time and money"?
Best part of the video for me was seeing your dads personality while driving.
"This car has already had enough heat" 😅 Brilliant!!
Thanks guys! Brings back memories of my crazy youth. Clapped out vw's, mopars, and c10's. Way cool!
You guys do great work and it is nice to see a son get along with his father. That is the way it should be.
Wow, you guys are having a blast bringing this build back to life. With some time , money, and patience it will be a fun driver again!
Very Mad Max! Lovely to see how much fun you and your Dad were having driving it too.
GREAT NAME MAD MAX !!! PEACE!!!
Thank you for taking me along.
Absolutely Devastating.
Bead blast it, undercoat it, and enjoy the hotrod...! Great work Michael and dad
The world would be a poorer place without you guys in it. Keep doing what you're doing! LOVE this, and loved the TransAm too.
I really hope the unfortunate former owner has seen these videos. I couldn't imagine losing my car to a fire (or anything really). So glad you are saving this.
*_It's amazing how far people will go for content nowadays, it's hard to find something original without the word fake. Though, i appreciate all the hard work you did in this video._*
You're mad!! I'm so jealous..and you must get your dad to be quiet, Jeez, he never stops!! Love it..
It's really nice seeing proper face / eye / respiratory PPE when removing rust and other unknown materials.
When you guys first started this, I wondered if you had lost your minds; but now I really enjoy this. I hope you keep on working this “piece of junk”.
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
Old fords never die, just waiting for the next guy to give it some love, she’s definitely a blast from the past.
I see guys building Lamborghini and Mclaren cars worth many hundreds of thousands. But this has been my favourite of the year. surprisingly through and seriously done.
I am so envious of the bond you have you have with your dad. Wish I could have one like that with mine but he passed away in 1989. This car deserves to be brought back to life, even if in the long run you decide to sell it. Cool car though.
This series seems to be blast for ya'll to make, and by dingies its a blast to watch! I love yalls channel, and I'm glad its fun for everyone, alot of work, but fun!
I love watching your dad and you get these rigs running and driving. I lost my dad in 2020. Enjoy every moment you have with your dad. Make memories and laugh.
I've got tears right now. The amount of shit I've gone through with my 72gt, 302 auto, she ran regardless. I miss her so much. 😢 *great share, thank you*
Never in my life would say my lord thats cool mercury comet but tetnus shot over here is so cool good job guys cant wait to see more of this build!
Man I love that you and your dad get too go through these journey's together ❤️ love the content guys
“Might have to replace…that.” Love it, man. Perfect delivery!
Sentir la alegría por darle una segunda oportunidad a ese auto es formidable saludos chicos desde Venezuela.
This is coolest car video I have ever saw. Pure intention to drive no matter what and giving car even in this condidion a chance.
Really glad you’re enjoying!! We’re having a blast with this ride!
man youre lucky to have a young dad where you two can live more youthful years building on cars and trucks.. cant wait to see more progress on it, and a nice clear coat patina protectant on the body.
This build reminds me of another car by the name of The Holey Goat. Love seeing cars like this getting back on the road.
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 😂😂
You added lightness, it's practically a Lotus! How much fun is that!!!!!
Can't believe this project !! I want to see more for sure, and I think a Comet of that era, with that unique history, may actually be worth something !! My brothers first car was a Comet, and I remember driving around listening to " The Long Run" by the Eagles, that had just come out.
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 👍
Get the correct shift linkage and that BW T10 will put a huge smile on your face. Great vid , gentlemen .
Damn boys! I had so much fun watching that, I was laughing right along with ya!
Paging "Pole Barn Garage" ! this thing looks right up there with his Holey Goat!
Amazing that this Comet was brought back to life. Keep it coming and keep improving stuff on this Comet!
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.
Amazing time with your Dad is on point
Budget Buildz Hello Friends , I'm so glad that you and your Dad are giving this 1972 Mercury Comet GT car, a second chance to survive because the car deserves it 😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
Hey bud. I've been watching you for three years now! This is my first comment. It was great to see you and your pop's laugh your ass's off driving that beast down the road. I would love if you kept it looking burned up. Much love from far Northern California!
Some how the interwebs needs to find a way to get Michael's Crispy Comet and Mook's Spicy Nova together.
"This is officially the fastest car we have."
911 Enters the chat.
Maybe Mook will get the Nova going for Power Tour. Could you see these 2 rolling down the road together!
And the holy goat
Oh my god that is bad I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it
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.
This thing is awesome. It’s up there with the holy goat. Great job guys.👍
The sheer joy in both of your laughter when you were driving was worth it all as a subscriber. I've had a soft spot for the Comet since I first saw it. Thanks for not giving up on it.
Watching this from Italy :D wish to see a bright future for this old beast!!
Love The look of that car and The work you put into it... She is worth The new life...
I am so glad to see this comet back rolling again 🙌 that was my first car and loved it 👍
Totally different from the 911, or any other of Your builds, I just love this Krispy Kitter glad You and Your Dad are bringing it back to life
Good morning
good morning!
Good morning 👋 I hope you enjoy the video and have a wonderful day! ☺️
@@BudgetBuildz I did hope your day is great
I'm glad to see you doing something with the Comet. I bought a brand new 1973 Mercury Comet GT fresh out of high school!
Amazing huge work. Thank you guys. You are very hardworking. The car is awesome 👍👍👍
It is AMAZING what you've accomplished with the Comet!
Pt. 4 plz 😂 love this show, this car, everything. Keep it up.
Hed never heard of a Mercury Comet before this build but now I want one lol. Perfect size and shape for a muscle car.
Now this dash panel looks like expensive luxury woodgrain!
Haha 😅
Think your ever so right. Beyond Patina. Don’t think I have seen a car burned out being rebuilt. The Mercury Comet. and an Maverick are the same car. You want to take this Car on The Power Tour. Thanks for sharing 💯👊
Not Silly at ALL. I doubt anyone else would be willing or able to do what you guys do! Keep Going.
Fluid film is a great rust preventative. I use it every year or two to undercoat my 23 year old 4Runner.
Y’all getting this car going, what a great find that motor appears so healthy it must be fun to drive…
Brilliant guys this is one of the best restored cars I've ever seen just FANTASIC, & it looks so cool
Fun video! I had a '73 Comet a long time ago. Thanks for not including the intro/music, since I always skip past it.
This Comet is a riot! Keep going on this. Can’t wait to see what you do with it next! Maybe call it “Haley”?
Remember to always put your baseball cap backwards when riding without windshield, guys... 👍👍
I just love seeing you two together and the great relationship you have while building and having a blast when testing the cars out.
God bless you for all the joy and laughter you bring us when watching your videos! Keep up the great work!
This 'burn find' is a real treasure.
Wow, that car is awesome!!
Wow, even those cows were really liking it they were not saying Moo Moo they were saying Cooool Cooool!! Lol.
This is the channel's mascot car! pure hero car it truly seems amazing.
Y’all are having way too much fun with this car. My buddy’s brother used to have “BURN 1” on his license plate. Sounds like a great candidate for this car. 👍🏻
It's cleaning up nicely! Can't wait to see it finished up! Great job guys! 💯!!! That lil 302 sounds nice!!!!🎉🎉
This is my fav build on youtube! I wanna see it with full glass and interior!
Can't wait to see this car back to being a buttoned-down full functioning car yet still appearing as if it's been through the apocalypse. Keep it up! This Comet is badass
Haha, fun to see you ripping in this car. Brought a smile to my face.
"I think this cars had enough heat"🤣 I really like this car/project. It was a really nice ford (before the incident).
I’m from western New York and I use fluid film like it’s going out of style. Excellent product that will protect for quite a while. It’s very popular with farmers for protecting equipment too.
This Father, Son duo is just Amazing. Love the content.
Fun build, as usual both entertaining and informative. When it pulled out of the garage I got a very “Christine” vibe
Good sandblast and a coat of paint and she’s good to go
You guys certainly don't back down from hard work!!! I was thinking when you were clear coating the dash, that's a neat look and with a weathered brown leather pad and matching seats, I think you got a look that works! I'm sure you have ideas, can't wait to see the future of this build
Great video! What an amazing resurrection from the dead. Totally worth slowly doing a full restoration over time.
You guys are having WAY too much fun driving that thing!!! 😂😂😂
On the scale of restorations, this one is off the charts! It is certainly unique 👌
Man I think that beauty needs a second chance being fully restored! It sounds freaking amazing! You guy’s are definitely having a blast!💥 the best combination! Father and son having fun and doing a great job working together as a team! Definitely looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the “Crispy Comet!”👌😂👍great job guy’s!
Pretty quick little fun Car for the backroads, its Kind of Like a Ford Maverick, isnt it?
The Power/Weight Ratio seems to fit quite Well With the 302.
I wouldnt mind the shabby Look, would Install Lights and glass, If somewhere to be found on a Budget, Adress the Suspension, and have fun With this.
Nice
Rusted Development perfect bare bone shaker.
Totally loving this.
I f_cking LOVE it ! ! I think you started a new trend !
Great fun...like the Phoenix rising from the ashes
Brilliant. It'll be even better with some windows, lights and a clearcoat to preserve that patina. It'll be a wow at car shows.
Love Mavericks and Comets. Love my 74 Grabber. Hope you take this restoration on home. Paint it to look like it does now with a great clear. Phoenix indeed!
So happy to see progress on the comet.
I think it's super cool I hope you keep going on it
