Thanks for refurbing my car Tom.
I was watching this video at 6:01 on my boat in Homer Alaska and my line caught a halibut, bout 10-20 pounds and it was my first ever.
these old cougars are so badass. would be cool to see you take a old stock car chassis and put the body over the tube chassis like you did with the honda.
I'm sure the Cougars love Tom too!
Overpaying for a few rusty cars is just his way of giving back to his local community. Such a generous guy, that Tom.
That car's body and interior is definitely worth doing a frame swap. I'm down for watching that happen.
I wanna see it restored so bad😭😭
I remember my first cougar... never had a mercury before though
We need a Tom-David Freiburger collab at this point. New meets old, east meets west
So early my Tom started refurbing itself.
Let’s save the cougar!
Sometimes saving a classic is more satisfying than building a perfect one.
Tom you should refurb a trans am
Id love to see you budget garage fix the frame and floors! Think shes a unique girl who wants to keep living on the road!
My First Muscle car at 14 was a 68 cougar, still have it and am still building on it. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see my favorite automotive creator make a video on one. Big Motivation to get mine going even if its ratty and ugly
This is the earliest refurbing we've had in a while. omg im so excited.
After watching this channel for years I finally got my chance to fix my own barn find and fixed up a 1984 Porsche 928! Would love to see Tom’s reaction to working on one of those…
You sir, are living every married man’s dream. Buying cars from marketplace and wrenching on them with your friends. You’re even documenting it through videos for YouTube and so you will have this to look back on forever. Well friggin done!
I think I started watching TR thinking "this guy is so tongue in cheek, it's like zoomer humor going over most people's heads. he is doing this ironically" now: "wow tom is 100% serious, and I'm 100% on board." Keep ratrodding alive.
Tom and those cougars man are a match made in heaven
