Craftsman 1965 Comet SEMA 2014 -EricTheCarGuy

I’ll admit, I have a thing for Fords of this vintage. This 1965 Comet however, was an exceptional build in my opinion, and yes I know it’s a Mercury. That said, I have to thank Chad Hill of Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle for his time and this interview. I think they did a great job of keeping things classic but turning the volume up just enough to keep things ‘interesting’. 600hp is nothing to sneeze at and the 6 speed and 4:10’s will move it along nicely.

Thanks for watching.

  1. I'll be damned, I had a '65 Comet Caliente. The guy I bought it from painted it and put some wheels on it….it looked great. Unfortunately, beauty was only skin-deep on this car…..the reality is that the floorboards were practically gone, and the anemic 302 under the hood could barely keep up with a Taurus.

  2. Eric, I haven't seen you repair a customers car in what seems like months(although I haven't seen every video). Are you still a auto mechanic? Or are you running a different kind of business, Iam just curious.

  3. 4.10's in the rear won't be that bad with a .5 overdrive on the 6 speed. I was fine until the guy started talking "this is a heritage build". Well no, a heritage build would have a Boss 302 or a 390 or something to that tune in it, not an aluminum small block stroker and efi.

  4. Wish I had the kind of money it takes to make a car look that good. Paint is so expensive! I can do much of the mechanical work, or trade work/parts to get that stuff done. But there's no substitute for a primo super-expensive paint-job. Simply cannot get that kind of look without spending $7 to $10K on a paint job.
