Re: I want this BAD!!!

I hate it. All those dooddads and huge wheels would be cool in a new car. It's dorky on '65 Comet. For the same money he could've put in a 12:1 427 FE with a tunnel wedge, a 4 speed, and 14 or 15 inch Torque Thrusts on it and it would be out of this world awesome.

Obviously a huge amount of work put into it. Very finely crafted. Still dorky.

JMO,

It's like putting 14 inch Cragar SS's on a 2010 Mustang.

Re: I want this BAD!!!

I'm diggin it... Theres nothing wrong with putting modern technology in an old car.

Now, the old school Cragars on a new Mustang? That's just wrong... Unless they're Cragar's new updated style wheels.

17 or 18 inch rims on a '65 Comet is just as wrong, and as just as dorky. I'm sure 12 year olds and drug dealers everywhere think it's awesome. People are still free to be dorky in this country though. And I'm still free to laugh at them.

Re: I want this BAD!!!

Not anything like putting 14s on a new mustang. What is up with Debbie Downer? I bet is handle like a slot car and u can drive it in stop and go city traffic with out worry of overheating. Not to mention you can probably take that car across country without severly damaging your wallet for gas money.

And yes I do have a soft spot for 64-65 Comets

The coolest thing about the whole video are the fire sprinklers in the garage.

Re: I want this BAD!!!

I think with a few changes to fit my personal taste, that would be an awesome cruiser and weekend warrior. No different with the goodies than most of the round-fender hotrods around here. Lots of money and impressive work in that thing. The kill-plug for the electrical is useless, however. A PITA the way it's used and won't make a difference to bad guys. I imagine you'd need drug dealer income to afford this one.
