1965 COMET BUILD, PART 2: SUSPENSION TEAR DOWN/REBUILD

Make sure to hit the like and subscribe button! Also leave a comment below!

In this video we dig deep into the suspension of the 1965 Comet. We find some problematic suspension parts and show you how to replace them. We also perform an easy and cheap suspension upgrade known as the "Arning" or "Shelby" drop. All it requires is a drill bit (17/32) an a little bit of patience to improve your suspension geometry and make your classic handle better.
In the next video we hop back into the engine bay and show you which route we are taking for the drivetrain and also begin some other improvements/upgrade to the car!
Thanks for watching!

I bought my 1965 Comet Cyclone brand new at the age of 17. Special ordered it and paid cash. 271horsepower and four speed and dual exhaust. Power steering but the power brakes got mistakenly left out of the order. I won't say I never get rid of anything, but I still have it. 71, 000 miles. In my 1965 Comet Caliente I have a Ford Motorsports 427 thumping out a touch over 500 horses. Love the stacked headlights and the overall look of the 65 Comets. Thank you for your videos. Enjoyable watching.

Working cars in your shop is like a giant game of Tetris

Great way to start the day with a new video and Folgers, lol

[dannycurtis]

I love your videos, your Dad has trained you well. He, s a great guy 👍

[larrybomber]

Wow, you made me tired just watching you do all that work. I had no idea all the parts in the front end of a Ford. Thanks for teaching an old man new tricks. Loved it!

[Adabow]

I work for Smucker's which owns Folgers...I appreciated the mini Folgers commercial hahaha. Keep up the great content!

[roberthemphill]

Mike i like your style. Great project. Look forward to future videos.

I'm a first time classic car owner (66 Mustang) and am learning a ton of info from your content. Awesome work 👏

I did the Shelby drop on my 67 Cougar years ago, have liked the ride, but finally spent the money on a set of roller bearing spring perches and installed those over the winter. Looking forward to seeing how they smooth out the drive, particularly since my cat is manual steering - with wider tires, my arms get a workout.

That Crud in that motor brought back some long days of scrapping and chipping, To "Rebuild" for what my farther would say is good to go now. and it was. Yep You tube defiantly better than every thing But Hockey on the TV.

Like the body style on these car's. Mostly because I am a full size Ford Guy. These remind me of the bid car's. Nothing wrong with the Mustangs. Just like a little more car. 🤘😎🇺🇸

[hasbeengood]

I just love this car! It has something of a Galaxy in front, the color is so period correct. But most of all, I really like the love you're giving this Ol'girl. Gonna be a sweet ride. Was looking FWD to this episode. Nice going Mike.

[justinphillips]

Love the video. Your shop is packed with fun and adventure. Keep up the hard work brother

[Stang]

Good work as normal. When I replaced the suspension on my 67 Mustang, The front was the easy part at least as far as taking it apart went. It was those rear leaf springs that turned out to be a big pain. The bolts in the front eye holes had rusted to the sleeve and would not come out. Took a lot of cutting and cussing to get those out.

[pauldulworth]

That car is awesome, unique and worthy by of your effort. You’re doing the budget salient mods too. Well done.

Harbor Freight magnetic ashtrays needed at 5:55...

[markholden]

Well done on Part 2... hope your head is alright!

In 1967 we put shackles on to the rear now that was cool! I personally do care for lower cars. If you want a lower car buy a sports car! Of corse I am just an ACM (arm chair mechanic). Keepon keepin on!
