Perfect wheel/tire setup for that car! I like it!

Love this build. The comet Caliente is my favorite car from the 60's. Been looking for one for a while

Sweet rim/tire combo and great job, and thank you for sharing.

It’s amazing what a set of wheels can do for the appearance of a car. Perfect choice for that body style 👍😎

Now that is a mighty cool car. Love the way the rear windows disappear and leave you with a wide space between the A pillar and rear roof line.

I like it that you think that you will redo that in the future. You won’t and you don’t have to. It’s great work

Like the choice of tires and wheels, brings back good memories. BTW, glad to see wifey again. The best and funniest clip.of her you edited out in your intro, when she was recording you, tripped and squealed. You really need to put that back in,

I think you did a good job with your body work and fitting! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice touch on the wheels always enjoy watching your vids. It's refreshing to see a real guy doing real stuff and not cutting out the mistakes. I have been with you since the early vids. Hope you always keep it like this Michael.

You and your dad are funny, keeps me chuckling

Love that car, the wheels are perfect!

More of the comet love that old Car

Following this rebuild. I've got a 65 comet in similar shape but has a newly rebuilt motor.

26:38 Just like the A-Team 😂 Love the wheels on it Greetings from The Netherlands 💖

micheal NEVER change man just stay the same love the normal person errors hahahahahah and that lid looks fine to me

This car is so mean. I love it. Hit the body!

The Ford Falcon is a fantastic street rod! Keep it simple.... And drive on!

Brother you’re living the dream great job

that car and the chevy II were little bullets with the right mods love'em

Love the choice on wheels! I feel your pain on ordering the wrong part. I hate when that happens. You get all excited about finishing something up and then boom! Wrong part! Then the wait!

That car deserves a rotiseree resto to challenge all the rust with new metal. They were very cool cars.

love the vids,please dont change the way you do things as for one i really enjoy how natural and honest your way of doing things is ,and the little mess ups you do please dont change

Love the sound of the car,great wk,Happy thanksgiving to you & the family,from over the pond in England 👊ps, wheels look perfect.

Patch welding came out good. Listening to you speak sounds like me fumbling my words

I love watching you weld. You are such a good welder! I have to learn this skill. I have a welder but I’m not very good with it!

The Comet is awesome! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My dad had a 1965 Falcon 2-door with a 289 HO with a 3 speed on the column. Candy apple red, with red interior. I loved that car when I was a child. Would love to find one in the same engine and color as his.

Loved that comet video! First car I owned was a comet in 1969, do not remember what year it was, but I'd almost trade my little brother for one just like it! Little brother is 40+ years old! 😂😂

Great sound + bandit-look! Like as is!

This car has the best silhouette, but looks good from all angles.

Is there a rebuild channel on KZfaq where they actually complete a project before starting a new one? I would love that. This channel is just going to be another one of the channels where they start a new project before the previous one finishes just to keep as many people watching as possible, resulting in eventually never actually finishing most of the projects.

love this rebuild, support from france

I remember a guy had one of these with a 400 horse. 289 was painted light blue. A very good looking car

Dang I'm glad you went back to the old American cars, the merc needed the love

Not many guys have a classy ride! You do!!

You may want to consider using weld through zinc primer for cavities you can't reach after welding in new metal. A classmate in high school had a Comet Caliente like yours. Cool style. 👍😁

Everytime I hear the song that plays at 11:13 all I can think of is the cash for gold episode of South Park. 😄😄 As always fantastic video and much love from Pickens buddy!

Those wheels and tires really set the looks of that car off!! I really enjoy your channel because you and your dad remind me of me and my pops, he’s passed now but he was always dragging old cars and trucks home when I was a kid and we would get so excited every time we spotted something old that’s been sitting for years, we did alot of door knocking or leaving a phone number lol, the old man taught me everything I know about vehicles and of course I do all my own repairs as well. Excellent content and really love how down to earth you and your family seem to be, my kinda people.

Great build so far. Your Confidence in the builds has improved 10 fold Great down to earth presentation you need to do a bloopers reel 👍

Looks great, love the rims and raised white letters. Cool car I can’t remember the last time I saw one in person.

looks like your haveing fun thats what its all about thanks

A young man who worked for me bought this exact model. He wanted to race me in my Dodge Stealth turbo R/T. I laughed at him but when we raced i just barely won. I am glad you are getting this one back on the road again.

I discovered this channel today when you're first Mercury video came up. I watched that, the second and now this..good stuff.. back then you were looking for 50k now I see you have 75k nice.. congrats what state are you all in

awesome car. 64 comet, best looking year.

What a hot little car; I’m loving the look. Get mechanically solid and rack up the miles!

Great overhaul and it looks sharp too. That front grill, etc, looks very similar to an early 60s Lincoln.... 😎

Get yourself a barrel grinder with a wire wheel for rust work they work great

SO SICK Michael!!!!!!! Nice work as usual!

Very nice job on the rust repairs.

Love this car, small and its sure got more than it needs under the hood !

I love that car! Great repairs and wheels and tires look great!

Very nicely done, I would leave that trunk repair as it is, I certainly couldn't have done a better job of that. The Honeycoat seems very interesting, I'll give it a try. I can also recommend Beropur cavity/chassis protective, also a spay-on product.

Really great choices for builds- these are the types of builds and swaps I am interested in. Other channels are buildingh off road lamborghinis and wrecked ferrari f40s. I still just want to see the cars I saw on the road growing up! I love mk1 vws; 80's and 90's aisian imports, and all the american classics that were already classic by the time I came around. Regardless of how big your channel gets I hope you keep taking the same practical every-man approach to the cars you choose and how you do the repairs. Also, never gloss over your mistakes- the trial and error is the most entertaining part- we want to learn something and see what you learned along the way. Thanks for doing this- great job! Love the positivity and can do attitude.

Just found your channel and I am really enjoying your videos! Love the project cars you are choosing!

The wheels look great...

Hood = Bonnet. Trunk = Boot. You're Welcome....your welding skills are better than most...The wheel rims were a perfect choice, they look dead right....👍

About 60 years ago I had to do the same thing to the rear wheel wells on my 63 Ford Fairlane.

Love these cars, keep up the great work 👍🏻

Glad you 2 are back to the videos, love how the Comet is coming around. Don't find them like that down here in Florida. Happy Holidays and stay safe.

If you want , until you get the tail light lenses , try red led semi marker lights . . cheep bright and plentiful. And look pretty stock on some of them

Happy Thanksgiving Mike! Love the Comet!!

She hooks dope build amazing work man i love it !

Beautiful wheels. Similar to the classic look of Torque Thrusts and BG Goodrich TAs.

The wheels are awesome. I love those old cars. Just look at that body, they have so much more flare. Keep up the great work love the video.

I’m thinking you could write a guide book about common rust areas in different makes of vehicles….make/model/where the rust is most likely

Very nice classic look.

The new wheels look good on there 👍👍🇨🇱

These were quite the hot rod back in the day. Love the wheels, they're just about period correct, they would have been Cragars, but pretty much the same design.

Hey Michael, as a classic car lover and owner myself, even though I'm only 20 years old (my car is 15 years older than me :D), I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos and I love all of your rebuilds! I have a soft spot for american classic cars, so I really like that you do a rebuild on this beauty. I always look forward to every new video! Blessings from Germany :)

64 Comet's are beautiful cars. I have a 202 two door sedan. Its in really bad shape. I hope I can get it on the road 1 day.

Happy thanksgiving to all the family

Looking good Michael. I’m tempted to unload that one from you and make a road trip back to Colorado in it!

rims and tires just make the car man...girth is good lol. I had to roll the front wheel lips on my mustang too...just didn't have much room originally...fun fact, the Boss 302's had rolled lips from the factory. The '64 Caliente is my fav small hot rod of the period...excellent small muscle...more trimmed out than the falcon or the mustang. great vid and have fun with your comet

Love the Comet. Im building a 62

Wheels & Tires look great on that car!

Very nice Comet , I use to own 4 of them all the same year 1964 i had the Caliente , the 404 Station wagon that car was the rarest of all Comets only a few where made , and i also had the 404 Comet and also a Comet post loved all of them one of the nicest Mercury cars made was the 1964 Comets on the street or dragstrip the Comets where winners bye far with Factory 427 engines .

Still loving the videos! Keep it up bro.

Loved this mate can’t wait for more videos on the comet 👍👍

I don't know why, but when I see this car, it reminds me a lot of an old police car. Just put a white door with the sheriff sign and a red lighthouse on the roof and it will be perfect 👍

Yes just like all the small block Fords you need to pull the heads off and have some bronze valve guides pressed in and reamed to fit the valves. Even if you decide the engine needs rings or rebuilt you have to do the heads. It is cheaper than you think and the engines all need it. I bought a new 68 Falcon with a 289 and it needed it at about 80k and I had a 72 Galaxie with a 351 Windsor and it needed it at about the same. I bought the 72 and some cheapskate had the heads knurled which did great for long enough for him to sell it and when I got it I pulled the heads and had it done right, the car had over 175K on it and was still going strong the last time I saw it.

You need sand blaster, you can Save much time and you back. I Like your entusiasm.

The wheels a great .. They would look good on my nephews 66 Mustang .

Great project car. Straight lines. Can use just about any Ford engine and trans option. Wish I could find cars like this.

Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care

awesome job and wheels

While I'd doubts before seeing them, they quickly vanished ..etc. p.s. Neat trick folding the fender lips up! Shane. :-)

You do a fine job!

Sweet Comet The wheels are perfect

Hey Guys. Cool car. Good video. It was a little long, but that's OK. Are you going to finish it? Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

Happy Thanksgiving .Great looking car .

It's a nice ride

I have a 64 Cali. Rag top,,,Rims for excellent,,, good job ,,keep up the good work guys,,

I've got a 64 or 65 comet caliente 4 door i'm going to be restoring. my mom bought it new it's in way worse shape than yours. i have a hole where the gas tank use to be and i didn't take it out it just rusted out while sitting. enjoying your builds.

Great video and wheels look great on the car You should call the car choo choo

Well done, I like this video format, love your videos 👍🏻. The car looks badass 💪🏻

Excellent video

Part 1 or Part 2? You have a nice eye for classics!

Car looks cool indeed.

Those wheels look almost period correct - & a little extra rubber doesn't hurt. The Comet is coming along - do a little tuning & tightening, & she should be able to scatter some gravel on command. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice work.
