DAILY TOM'S REFURB UPDATES: @ogtomsrefurb IG
Be sure to watch all of this car's build videos on the channel, too!
I took my chassis-swapped 1965 Ford Mustang (on a 1996 Civic chassis), powered by a turbocharged B20, to the Ford Nationals show in Carlisle, PA. The people there did not expect (or appreciate) a front wheel drive, rusty mess of a car parked next to all of the pretty ones. We hid a GoPro in the engine bay and caught some hilarious reactions.
Yes, I know I used the word "boomer" in the title to grab attention. I have nothing but love for the old generation. There are reactions, good and bad, from all age groups in this video.
Like and subscribe for more fun stuff like this :)
I make all of the music and edit each clip. Feedback and recommendations are always appreciated.
Love and appreciate you all!

“That’s the spirit of hot rodding” what a wise man. Seeing the crazy shit we do ain’t too different than the crazy shit they did
Hes the only one there that actually got it .
let's be fair here, it's no different then those boomers putting Chevy motors in old rat rods. same stuff, just a different generation and an even more reliable one. I'm a purist but still think it's badass.
@@Theupstateidiots yea but a Honda engine in a mustang and also being fwd makes no sense at all ive built quite a few chevy hot rods the craziest one ive ever done was a cammed chevy 550 with a 6 speed in a 1980 chevy elcamino and that car was sure pushing a lil over 1k to the rear wheels a honda vtec is literary a compact grocery getter engine for christ sake
@@robs_garage0278 it doesn't have to make sense if he enjoys it. My buddy just used a civic motor and trans sideways to power a cj5 frame with a dirt track frame on top. I thought it was dumb and he was never going to finish it, he built it in three weeks and it worked like a charm. I was impressed.
@@robs_garage0278 oof man, that engine is not a grocery getter.
People don’t realize that before this it wasn’t even on the road, it was just sitting around rotting so I’d say this is a success for a car that might’ve never seen the road again. Awesome vid🤙🏻
It clearly looks like a car that sat in a field for 20 years. Making a car roadworthy when it otherwise would've just rotted away is always a good thing
I think what they don't realise is that it's still a honda overall. Chassis is still honda. He put the shell on this. Props to him. Saved a car and made it look cool.
Let it rot
@@mayk3lll so its even gayer than everyone realized
Awesome Save 💪🇺🇲🚗🐎💯💯
I'm a boomer and would say this is hot rodding at its finest. Innovative and well done. It would really be cool if there was a way to send a shaft rearward and make it AWD. To be honest a big power 4 cylinder in rear wheel drive would be an awesome handling car - with appropriate suspension. The hobby is alive - well done young sir.
We build awd hondas now so its definitely possible
I agree. As a motor head you gotta find the uniqueness in people's builds. Stop hating. and the awd idea would be sick.
Hoonicorn
If I’m not mistaken there’s a b20 with 4wd. B20b in my crv has it but atm gotta fix my diff so it’s fwd
very much the same spirit of the mustang in 2Fast 2Furious where they dropped the RB26DETT into the '67 chassis for the race down the mountain. any big power motor in any old classic chassi that keep the classic metal on the road is a a win in my book. from the mavricks to the mustangs and the caprices to the camaros. keep em all alive.. there are 10s of thousands of wrecks in junkyards that are ripe donors for this sort of build... theres needs to be sooo much more of this.
this is the kind of car that the people are going to remember from this show. not all the other "normal" pristine Mustangs that are dime a dozen at an event like this, they're going to remember the rusty Honda-swapped one.
exactly. solid point.
"I hate to say it, but I like it." "That's the spirit of hotrodding." "That's a lot of work, holy crap." I love this thing. Bring it to a Honda meet next.
Omg honda guys would love it
He won't find all this hilarious hate though; the Honda guys will think it's cool (although they might complain about all the unnecessary weight that Civic engine is now lugging around!)
Good mileage in these times of austerity
@@AtlasJotun the mustang was typically less than 3ooo pounds in the 60s. Not a very big car. About the same as the s2000.
Hdays is this weekend.... Just saying.
“That’s the spirit of hot rodding” god bless that man. Hot Rodding had always been about showing off your building skills and this is definitely an attention grabber
funny, i was about to say the same thing. blessed guy.
You know what else draws attention if it had a rainbow flag flying from the back, not all attention is good
@@wildcat6669 ok homophobic man.
@@wildcat6669 why wouldn’t that be good attention? Who puts a rainbow flag on a car without expecting attention?
There is nothing more hotrod than putting 1000hp weightless motor in a heap of rusty shit
Some people in the car community are Douche canoes, but the fact that 50% liked it and 40% at least could appreciate it is uplifting!!! Awesome build brother!!!
*I still just find it funny how people like you get so offended some people dont like the same things that you do so you had to comment this lmaoo*
@@ricksanchez5696 You can not like the same thing without being a dick about it, like some people respectfully did in the video. Or just move along.
@@ricksanchez5696 What? they are literally speaking against that!!?? its about being not asshole just because you dont like it. and when did he get offended? hes saying people get super offended when they see a car like this, its all fun and games, but someone people get upset when you modify cars in ways they dont like, and the fact that 40% of people can just appreciate a funny/Unique or strange build is uplifting even if its not their style/taste, instead of people just getting upset because its not modified to THEIR own liking... maybe learn to read before Jumping to baseless conclusions about people... mr Smartest man in the universe
@@ricksanchez5696it the fact they act like a douche lmao get real bozo
@@ricksanchez5696 😲
i love how the actual car guys and mechanics just get so happy and excited and impressed seeing it lol
You could kinda tell who knows what they are talking about and at least appreciate the effort and see the vision. Just walking up to a car and calling it gay is such a loser move.
As the gentleman said: that is the spirit of hot rodding. Keep making out of the box things!
This!!!!
The 2 old guys in there electric chairs had me dead Pullin up like outlaws😂
Diabeetus angels.
I don't see mustang engines in their HoverRounds
@@Tomazack ouch!…….but you’re probably right!😮😢😂
Smart pensioners, scooting around everywhere at the meet
lets run him outa town.
“Waste of a car” said the one who can’t afford one that’s rotting away and two can’t afford to rebuild anything he’s got sitting in his driveway. Keep it up bro you got my sub
A rotting away mustang is like $5k-$10k max, think anyone can
That's an insane thing to say. You think everyone has the money, room and knowledge to spend 10k on a rotting shitbox?
Honestly I think my favorite is the old-timers that don't necessarily like it but realize how much work that went into it
The kid that got super stoked and said "you know how fast this thing is probably" made me so happy
lil does he know lol
Honda speed 😂
@@raymondortiz1841 I'm sure he saw the turbo, even pony guys know how fast turbo hondas can be
Mustang V-tec
"thats the spirit of hot rodding"
That guy gets it.
Ruining a classic. 😂
@@worldhello1234 youre smoking
@@DustyDesertRat i mean fwd is an abomination and should never been created as rwd and awd is clearly superior but i dont hate this mustang
@@ztm454 I want whatever you're smoking
@@ztm454 are you 12?
I love when someone appreciates just how much LOVE went into this car. The spirit of hot rodding is alive and well, keep on unapologetically doing what you wang to do!
NO HATE but Putting a Japanese car engine in classic American muscle is like putting American made ketchup on Italian pasta
(But its still a pretty sick but build👍)
Those two Old-Timers pulling with those electric wheelchairs one after the other absolutely made the video for me
I was like, "Oh sh*t the cowboys have rolled in. The duel is about to begin"
My favorite part was when he got OUT of his electric wheelchair to take a closer look LMAO
And the banjo starts playing
One was so surprised that he regained the ability to walk. XD
@@playstation8779 PRAISE JEBUS!!!!
Love seeing the guys who know how much work and effort went into making a FWD 4cyl Mustang with all the small details added like that
Definitely only people people that knew the logistics of a build like this actually appreciated what went into it
Thought that guy who said "it's awesome. I hate to see it but it's awesome" kinda hit the nail on the head. It can be an absolutely terrible swap in your opinion but you have to appreciate the countless man hours that it must have taken to get it where it is.
I thought I would be mad as well. But like the other person said, the damn thing was rotting somewhere and now hundreds of people are in awe of it. Great job.
All the freedom lovers asking if “that’s allowed?” 😂
@@nikelpikleger9754 ironic isn't it 🤣
would be better to have let it rot.
It's not like it's your car ... so why be mad?
@@TheKlown82 I thought I'd be mad because he took a classic American car and set it on a front wheel drive rice burner . Then I watched it and bought into the premise and liked the way he made it and his videos.
little girl: "that's awesome"
her dad: "get tf outta here"
hopefully she keeps her open mind and stays awesome, like the car!
"get tf outta here" = "no effin way"
I didn't see it as him being negative, as much as surprised.
It's always the "open mind" crowd that judge people through such a narrow lens, ironic. If we want to play the judge game, out of all the people, some purely negative, you get stuck on this one enough to comment, you got some daddy issues you wanna sort out?
Yeah I didn't see it as negative either, dude was just a little shocked with what he was seein
@@extraordinarilybasic3250
It stuck with me because I appreciated the genuine enthusiasm of the child despite how I interpreted her dad's response.
not sure how you got "daddy issues" out of 3 lines of text, Mr. don't-be-judgemental
It called having an opionion..
this is actually my dad and my little sister, he called me right after stoked about it. sent me pictures and everything. he loved it and loved how mad it made people.
I’m a mustang enthusiast, and I believe this build is pure fire. Also I’m pretty sure a lot of those boomers were the ones slamming LS engines into foxbodies lmao.
That’s the most reliable engine that’s ever been inside of one of those mustangs
Boomers, as a general rule, slam fox bodies all together...
This statement strikes deep and accurately. It's like a cult following with the ls engines
@@mr.spacely6503 Ahhh... was waiting for the quintessential "nothing but bowtie" guy to show up.
Boggles my mind how ppl get triggered about this swap when in fact turning a RWD american car from the 60s into a FWD turbo vtec monster is technically super impressive. Sick building skills.
You know the guys getting mad drive an absolute shitbox too.
@@JC-zg4xe like you I take it?
@@headshotmaster138 Nah I’m not into that kinda stuff but you do you man
@@JC-zg4xe LMAOOOOOO
I mean I'd have run the fwd running gear in the trunk and made it rear engine rwd if I was putting that much effort into the build, the fwd part was the only thing I was seriously Ehh about.
context: I'm building a 67 Camaro with a C5 Corvette drivetrain, so building a custom frame for an independent suspension and transacle in a straight axle RWD car isn't completely out of sorts
there was only 3 types of reactions "that's awesome" "It's sinful" and "it shouldn't be in the show"
You left out that it’s “Gay” I think they meant it’s a happy conversation?
@@keenobservations3050 came to say the same thing. Couldn't help but laugh everytime someone said that's gay
@@1991jdmcivic I couldn't help it to all of them talking bad I was thinking he can build it faster for cheaper get better mileage and probly beat their mustang which i would love to see a video of this just bullying some of the people cars talking crap
@@keenobservations3050 Lot of belly dudes projecting over there...
You forgot the “well it sure is unique”
Its a Mustang.
Its a classic.
Save gas.
Self-made and a car enthusiast who has my respect.
"That's the spirit of hot rodding" The reactions was worth it. I am a honda guy. And love K motors. You did an awesome job and this video was just downright FUN.
The dude at the 5:02 mark... I'm torn, I love the idea of keeping these body shells running and on the road. Still props to the creator for trying something really unique. If I were to do something similar, I'd love to see a Honda engine mounted longitudinally in a RWD Mustang in an FR drivetrain configuration (in a hypothetical scenario where I have the skills, money, time and other resources needed to do this, that I am currently lacking).
Also, regardless of whether I like it or not, the skills, and dedication required to modify a car this much are definitely commendable.... Props to this dude (and to whoever else helped him) do all this work to this Mustang.
This isnt a K motor though.
b series ftw
in a world of LS swapped EVERYTHING this is cool to see. the garage door engineering on this is pretty cool.
In the world of LS and K swaps it’s cool to see a K swap?
@@richardendresz161 *It's cool to see a B series, yes !!
@@richardendresz161 please, so you don't receive hate, learn to differentiate a K-swap from a B-swap.
and there are a lot more RB26-swaps and 2JZ-swaps than there are K-swaps anyway.
Worldwide there are more K swaps than LS swaps.
I was thinking about picking up a classic Fiat and putting in a 2.7 ecotech engine in it
forget the haters, you took something that was headed for the scrap yard and made something awesome. hope that you keep improving it to keep it on the road!
"That's the spirit of hot rodding" This guy's attitude is honestly where we need to be as a country. It might not be your cup of tea but you can still appreciate and respect the work and creativity of someone's efforts. The perpetuation of "us vs them" is what continues to make America toxic and it's sad to watch the "dads" in this video pass down their narrowmindedness to the next generation.
Yes!!! Too many people think in black and white all the time!
Some may say you’re thinking too far into but I agree with you 100%
Those "dads" likely love this country more than their public-school educated, brainwashed kids
IDK - Seems like the creator of the Honda powered car just wanted to bait guys that are into Fords and Ford authenticity. That's why he set up a camera to mock guys at a Ford event.
Like the clip of the little girl who said "that's awesome" and her dad just took a step back and said "Honda FWD, get the fuck outta here". Just boomers dashing the creativity of the younger generation because it's not what they would have done.
I love how they are all like “how could he ruin a mustang” when there’s a million normal ones on display at this show……
Maybe Such a “rare” vehicle
@LactoseTheIntolerant nah the whole build is cool. No reason to be a hater. Hot rodding has always been about customization, not a brain dead allegiance to a car brand.
@LactoseTheIntolerant you sound like a BOOMER
@@cyberworld9000 wonderful speech
@LactoseTheIntolerant so a ford is normally found on road dead with a ford engine. So Honda being “reliable”, what would transpire for it to be found on road dead? You clearly just have your panties in a bunch over a car that sat around with no engine lol
Yeah. This wasn’t even a good one. It was a base model that was rotted away to almost nothing
The Honda steering wheel is just the icing on the cake lmao
I love the build, even though I'd never do something like this myself, I appreciate the craftsmanship and hustle you put into this thing to make it what it is
Edit after watching the whole thing: I'm pissing my pants at the reactions of the people walking/scooting by
You got that geezer to stand up from his mobility scooter lmfao
Haha yeah. With the airbag in it as if that ish would even deploy in a crash. So funny.
"Why?"
I say why not! The point to moding cars is for fun and to do things "outside the box!" I'm pretty sure the first time someone chopped a top or did a engine swap didn't end the car culture. Appreciate the time and work it's a art!
Outside the box would be getting an uncommon motor and popping it in there. Everyone and their brother throws these motors in shit, same as the LS fanboys.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I'm guessing you have one and your mom??
If the shell of any antique car isn't going to be restored otherwise, isn't a good candidate for restoration, or "just good for parts" I'd much rather see ANYTHING happen to it, than nothing,or to go to scrap. It's a good solution for cars with lost paperwork.. I love this, I want to see more stripped and rusted parts cars turned into things like this.
yeah, and its just the shell. other than the "bodykit" you could say, its not a mustang at all. its a civic undercover as a mustang, and theyre still gettin mad. but i guess its not very easy to tell its frame swapped...
I’m a boomer and I think it’s awesome!
There’s already 1,000,001 “restored” mustangs that are too nice to drive anymore!
You go boy!
This is great, you get to see first hand true enthusiasts and the toxic people in the car community all at once.
Exactly, i used to care about all the brand loyalty stuff when I was immature. Anyone who wrenches would understand this masterpiece and the maddness it take to create.
I could give a crap what's under the hood, what I enjoy is the craftsmanship and doing something that's not common. Keep up the good work!
I couldn’t*
I’m just sitting here wondering when your channel is gonna get the praise it deserves. Literally NOBODY is doing it like you man. Sure they may be doing drivetrain and body swaps but it’s a one man show with how everything gets put together and there’s some real good shit to show for it. Keep doing what you’re doing brother 🤘🏼
Thank you so much!
@@TOMSREFURB That engine looks like the one I had in my 99 Prelude, cool car!
You just like this channel more than other channels. Although yea he did good with this one
@@TOMSREFURB yeah but why did you go out of your way to attempt to piss people off?
@@PhilVillagerOffical because he's young. He's pushing the limits n expanding minds, even if they don't like it.
Love how most of the boomers hate it yet they're the generation that sent these puppies to the crushers 🥺
It’s also encouraging that like half of them didn’t hate on it at all and thought it was cool
boomers are the worst thing to happen to humanity, can't wait till they are all gone.
when you get older, you will want to kick your younger selves own ass one day. At least, I hope you grow up.
That's like saying you're the generation that ate Tide Pods
@@Phenom98 That's true also.
I’m not personally into fwd cars, but I can appreciate the fab work and just the fact a young guy is into the hobby.
Good job kid.
no one cares what you’re into, though …
Same here, i would loved it if it were RWD Swapped but making it FWD just makes it so much better because its sticks to what Honda is about.
"Hate to see it, but I like it" just about sums up my reaction to it. Admire the work and ingenuity required to make it. 👍🏻
why do you hate it? does it have to do with the fact it doesn't have an American V8?
@@badcam7663 no as 1. the first mustang was equipped with a straight 6cyl and marketed towards women(i.e. The secretary's car.
2. most mustangs sold didn't have v8s under the hood and it isn't even close either over 3/4s sold are not equipped with a v8.
3. Making it fwd is my main beef, rwd is just as easy and awd would've been almost unique in comparison to this.
Regardless it's the owners $ blood sweat and tears not mine. Further I can appreciate the engineering&effort required to make it work.
I love how your car was the only one getting all of the attention. Even if they were talking trash, you know darn well they were mind blown. Lol... Keep up the amazing work Tom, you're doing great things buddy.
I loved at 3:02 “You know how fast this is probably?”
That car got so much attention vs the cars across from it!
A-hole: "I was enjoying American classics."
Other guy:"till this whoops half the other cars asses."
That guy gets it.

@@ligma_bawlss mad bro
You can tell the real car people who appreciate the work put into making this possible
Being a old Honda lover and yet a Mustang enthusiasts I can definitely say it's a cool build, you will catch alot of hate from Mustang guys because a majority of them hate imports but with how gas prices are and being different you knew the reaction you were going to get...
How much attention do you think I get when I take my MG to a car show? People question my patriotism/loyalty to my country for liking some furrin' car. I like it, and I'm not an automotive lemming anyway. I'm probably more conservative than they are. At least they took a look. I rarely get even that. Prats. You go do your own thing.
ya. I like them both, but I know that you know that.... these AWD k turbo civics are dominating these V8s all over the world lol
@@mkfa5509 there's always a faster car then the other
4:57 mark of this video clip .the little girl had more class than dad .
Much respect👍
It's weird. It's cool. It's fast. It's mind bending to purists. It's how you want it. Why would anyone hate it? Not my personal taste but I definitely love it enough to become a new subscriber when I first seen it. If it's not all wheel drive, I would definitely look into making that happen at some point !
I agree, especialy with the turbo and lots of power I think awd is way to go.
Amazed a dude so much that he got granted dthe ability to walk, true vehicle of myricals.
I was there saw it in person. You guys did something amazing and deserve nothing but love. Either your a full on car guy/gal and this is what it's all about or your just posers. You my friends are legit car guys. I'll be pussing people off next year with my boosted chevy powered LS new edge.
SN95 swap gang! I'm working on a 351 swap for my 98!
I'm in my 40's and prefer "traditional" builds, etc but this thing is awesome!
I actually love it. So original and cool, and you young guys built it yourself!
Tom don’t feel bad I’ve got a 1979 Trans Am I put a 3.1 L V6 five-speed. The Pontiac 400 I had was gonna cost me 30,000 to build. My thing is go in or go broke. Money is not growing on trees for people like us anymore. You have impressed me with the Mustang and the Honda put together. What people don’t understand is you made that Mustang live could you imagine how much it cost to restore that thing? But what you did is awesome.And also also hot rodders need to rethink how we’re doing stuff today there is a lot of parts out there. Greetings from Georgia
I love how so many of these people, instead of reacting with surprise and interest in what you've done, are angry that your car isn't basically the exact same burmbly uhBuhbuhBuh mooscle car that they've been walking around looking at for hours already
Exactly! How many identical 60's Mustangs with big V8's and Flowmasters do they need to see in a day? I'd much rather see one with a Honda engine, an electric conversion with a Tesla engine, heck stick a really old VW engine in one just for LoL's....🤣
@@OscarInAsia Pretty sure there's a dude that turned his Muscle car into an Electric car while another video of a channel turned a Tesla into a regular gas powered car and took it to a shop for an oil change lmao

How would they have reacted to a Mustang powered by a heavily tuned Cosworth engine?
@@mantisracingchannel3910 long as it puts out big power everybody but the nerdy kids are happy.
Never seen so many belts around shorts with t-shirts tucked in, in my entire life.
Also, it's a bit hypocritical that the guy 0:4:48 saying 'who did this to you, it's a crime against humanity' is one burger away from proving that junk food is a crime against humanity.
Some people believe they should never be changed up, some people love the mix. I imagine a reversal like that in an import themed show would see the same percentage of "I love it/I hate it" comments.
Those people who understand true hot rodding never care about the combos, people who are attending a brand specific show are already predisposed to not like it.
As a Boomer, I love it.
Right? Inhad seen a miata with a corvette engine. No one is mad at that.
Civic with a 302 rwd would be a funny upgrade
glad to see your hard work was appreciated tom. the masutangu is a polorizing build if you’re old
and dusty but a lot of us younger fellas appreciate all the effort that goes into a build like that. great work.
This video taught me that fat people are unhappy.
@@robw7205 Sher wuz alotta dem too wun’t dar?
this reminds me of my dad's current build he's working on, but it's the opposite haha He's swapping a 6.1L Hemi into an 83 Datsun 280zx! The one plus side is that everyone seems to absolutely love it! Once it's finished it will be his daily driver too which I still can't get over
I really like the sound of that, I once had a 260 with a 302 5.0 :))
Have not laughed that hard in a while. My buddies and I were literally talking about that billion dollar lotto and coming up with crazy combinations that would piss people off at car shows last week. Now I stumbled across the gem of a video and my sides hurt now lol! The butthurt was real, but it was almost heartwarming that there's so many people that can actually appreciate this. Sweet ride man, subbed for more gold. XD
Like LS1 swapping a Tesla 🤣
Why should people be obligated to like it? What's the point?
@@azul93gt38 How are you being obligated to like anything here? If you don't like it, that's your opinion my friend.
i was thinking hayabusa swapping a foxbody would be funny
It is so funny to me that people feel like cars have to fit a certain mold. This is 100% the spirit of hotroding! Way to go, bro! This thing is absolutely sick!
Love how some people can’t get out of there small little worlds to be creative and learn that the true car community will come up with anything
@El Mitcho fun to mess with at least.
@El Mitcho It’s cool to upgrade outdated suspension , brake , cooling , systems in older cars . Butchering them is another story . To each their own . Your car your rules
@@aoclive6710 didn't really butcher it though. More like he brought it back to life, just had a heart transplant is all.
As a heavy muscle car enthusiast, I can honestly say that is an awesome build.
These are my favorite type of builds to see at shows. They always put a huge smile on my face. The creativity, ingenuity, vision...etc. Truly the spirit of hot rodding ❤️
I’m from England, I’m not into mustangs or Hondas, but really appreciate the work gone into this and the fact that it ruffles the feathers of “ purists” is brilliant 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👌🏻😍🇬🇧
dude who said that’s the spirit of hot rodding had it right for sure. showing wha the car community should b all about
Exactly.
I lmao'd and almost pissed in my pants when I saw him pop the hood at first time. This is so ridiculously well built and unique vehicle. The art should always make people react in a way or another and this really does it. Thumbs up
Tom: Revs Masutangu
Boomers from a 1 mile radius: *Target Acquired*
been a mechanic for over 30 years and i think its great. thinking out side the box is what makes hotrods fun.
How do people look at this and not admire the hard work and dedication to building something like this?? I would fucking die if I saw this in person definitely a 1/1!
My respect, this is a great project different from others. When I was watching the video, I remember all V8 swap in Japanese car and I wanted to see some one do a Japanese engine swap in American Muscle. You did.
same
Just in case anyone wants to know Honda is an American owned car co made mostly in America owed by American embassy motor co. It was the first Japanesse and only Japanesse car co bought by an American co. Honda establidhed in 1962 and sold in 1980.
It all started with the Mustang with an RB26 swap from Tokyo Drift lol
Rob Dahms' rotary powered Corvette is pretty nice as well.
BIG respect for breaking the mold and showing off. Haters be damned.. there is a lot of work and dedication shown in your vehicle.
“That’s the spirit of hot rodding” he is a man of culture. Also the truest comment ever. Could’ve been scrap metal but now it’s masutangu
Even if someone builds something that I wouldn’t consider, I always admire the work that goes into it. This is a cool machine, nobody else has one! Well done.
You saved the mustang from rotting it’s life away. You had the skill to mount the mustang body onto the Honda chassis. That’s a feat in itself. Such a sick car 🤝🏻
That's what I thought when that one guy said, "waste of a car." Like, no sir, the cars that sit in barns, fields, forests, deserts, junkyards - whatever - that you pass by every day? _Those_ are not only wastes of cars, but wasted opportunities.
I’ll be honest, “that’s the spirit of hot rodding” was a top tier compliment. Might not be in love with the engine & FWD choice but it is insanely unique! Could see this being a very cool auto cross toy with a proper setup!
I love the difference between the people just enjoying it and looking at the car, and the complainers who look around for validation… every… single… time.
They say something negative, and immediately look around for attention and validation.
The other half, who are just enjoying it are just taking pictures, looking at the work and details, or sharing it with so else.
The people who complain seem like the majority because they’re the loudest and feel the need to share their negativity with as many people as possible meanwhile happy people just keep to themselves because they’re having fun.
"Why would you do something like that "? Because NOBODY ELSE HAS!! I have to give you a lot of credit dude....it's definitely different. You have a lot of guts. The car show thing is classic. 👍👍
The fact those degenerates actually got offended by the hard work of SOMEONE ELSE is actually hilarious
Man, I was thinking the same thing!!
I saw a lot of positive reactions tho haha
You took it & you made it your own, your way.
The only thing that I MIGHT have done differently - put the engine & transaxle in the back for a mid/rear engine configuration.
A righteous build brother! 👍😎
Kid: that’s awesome
Father: “fwd honda? Gtfo here”
What an amazing parent, totally not setting her up for failure
I was looking for someoone who pic that up she was genuinely thinking it was cool and the dad was so mean about it!
I grew up driving old muscle cars and love them. However, the car I had the most memories with was a 1997 Honda Civic. I beat the hell out of that car on the drag strip, top end runs (I wish it had a 6th gear), and driving everywhere and it never broke. 6 thousand plus clutch drops were so much fun. You did some great work there combining both! The front wheel drive burnouts are awesome!!! Keep up the great work.
As a 1967 Camaro guy.....I have mad respect for this.
the only 67 camaro you have is either a hotwheels car or matchbox
@@vobic13 go home, son. Grown ups are talking.
@@vobic13 always one asshole that has to doubt
@@vobic13 yeah, wait I'm not a grown up what am I doing commenting here?
same here
I find it funny how many teens where ticked at this build... I love a classic muscle car... but I love a What the heck build even more. You Nailed the what the heck part!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the owner of both a 1965 mustang and a 1998 Integra GS-R I LOVE LOVE LOVE this build.
Excellent build Tom!
Ok this is my exact build I'm doing 96 teggy 66 coupe body with a fastback conversion kit
Built B series and crv drive train AWD
Just now in the works
Now they know how the rest of us feel when they V8 swap everything LOL.
Wait till i finish my V12+v6 mustang 😭 its literally not together right now but so far reinforcing the engine bay is the main goal too small but im thinking if i get a donor mustangs front end engine bay i could extend it but id have to add a 2 front wheel steering system for the weight and to even it out for the engine vibration im going with the flow but idk its disgusting to see the chasis this empty lol
Yea, it's all stupid trends, swapping the same couple of motors into any avaliable body and calling it unique.
I agree. Not everything needs a v8.
Ls, lt, coyote everything 😂
I love it! You actually should consider making it AWD and race it against other mustangs lol. Easy to do on that civic chassis now. I subscribed because of this car!
better yet, twin engine
@@Abu_Teazy twin engine would be wicked, like the twin engine impala from motor trend but just pissing off fanbois left and right
Can't wait for more of this car, this is not waste of a car , because it's being used/beaten/repaired to a pulp and abused for the sake of having fun, this is exactly how you use a car. Not in the field rotting in grass and not in a garage idling. Props to you sir
Recently discovered the channel and I wish RUclips or someone would’ve suggested it to me before. I appreciate all the hard work and love the attitude you portray. Keep living your best life Tom! And thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
Yeah, to a purest it might be sacrilege, but to most home custom builders it's probably an awesome build.
Shoot, the purest might even be upset if you put the whole drivetrain out of a Focus RS w/ all wheel drive in it
The focus rs awd setup in that would be sick.
ok this would make it, just perfect
You can tell the builders from the "car guys" that bought their classic. Builders appreciate the work
This isn't sacrilege against mustangs. You gave a rotting Mustang a new life. You gave it new bones, a new heart, and a new spirit. So thank you for that.
I'm 46, i lived ate and crapped Hondas from the late 90s to 2010s. My dad is/was a hot rodder, It absolutely amazes me that there are kids in their 20s on this planet that can look at that car and be shocked and upset about this lool.
Good work man. This is a true rat rod, i love it.
I'm glad there is still people willing to br creative in the car scene, I love this mustang because its different
I love this. Your car, your rules. It took alot of creative, out of the box thinking to make this work. That deserves some respect. You know damn well there were some LS swapped mustangs there, Or 350 chevy powered cars there. This takes craftsmanship. Well done.
"Your car, your rules. It took alot of creative, out of the box thinking to make this work." So what? It is still a ruined classic. 🤷♂
@@worldhello1234 well when it's your car, then you can build it "(The Right Way)" according to you. But don't forget to put it on you tube for all the world to comment on.
5:47 "I'd pull the emergancy brake on that and burn the front wheels!"
My man knows no matter what tyres spin, it's still fun.
2:08 Bro was flabbergasted so hard that he regained his ability to walk
Yet they would've been perfectly fine with someone putting an emissions era 302 with a ground shattering 170 crank hp in it..
Such an quick way to distinguish real car people (real hotrodders.. actually), vs people who go to car shows hoping to see 40 pairs of the same chrome valve covers and a couple trophies.
Nah, I'd put a 289 in it or a straight six. Keep it as factory as possible.
@@HimHawJimJam "Factory as possible" is the dumbest shit ever. Purists are shit lol. This is better than a 60s ancient car my man.
@@tanneroxford9431 nah, you’re right. You’d get out the JEGS catalog, half ass slap an LS in it, and hold it together with zip ties and dreams. Stfu loser.
@@HimHawJimJam its a rebody my dude most of the chassis rusted away
What’s funny is how much looks it got and I bet almost every one that seen it will never forget. That’s some work to do that swap. great job on it. I would love to see it in person!
I love the guys that didn’t really like the swap but still appreciated the work you put into it and how well you put it together. Guarantee some these guys looked you up and saw noise complaint tho and immediately changed what they thought of you lmao
I love it, builds like this guy does that are completely one of a kind that he builds all in his own shop are what I believe it takes to be a car enthusiast.
Some people are so salty over a Honda swapped mustang. I personally love it
Not my thing, but I absolutely respect the work that was put into this. Like that one guy said “that’s the spirit of hotroding”
Awesome work
"somebody was drinking to much" my favorite reaction lmao
