I think I subscribed in 2020. Restoring cars became my lockdown hobby and that’s when I started watching these videos, to hone my skills.

Both old and new restorations look great, but the paint job on the newer one really pops! Happy anniversary to 6 years on KZread and here’s to many more!

Congratulations on five years I've watched every episode, your work is brilliant, and your stats talk brings it all to life, well done

It has been years and I do not remember when I started watching. I know that Marty was the first that I subscribed to. I started watching him close to the beginning so I have probably watched you since the beginning. Your work is fantastic and informative. I've taken a lot of useful information from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to put the videos out. Take care.

Thank you for sticking with for all this time!

I found the channel through matchbox garage. Here's to the next 5 years 👍

I subscribed about 3 years ago. The models look great but I agree the newer one has a shade of green more reminiscent of the 70s. Congratulations on 5 years of restos and thanks for sharing this.

Congratulations on your anniversary Jason 🎉 here's looking forward to the next 5 years.🙌

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍 Happy 5th anniversary 🎉

Happy 5th birthday Jason and I have been with you since the beginning I wish I had the skills to do what you and all the other builders do. Keep up the good work and here’s to many more years 👍🏻

Great resto Jason, I have been subscribed for a few months now, but I have gone back and watched your older videos. The M2 laptop screws are definitely an improvement. Great work 👍

I've been a recent subscriber, but I'd say your skills have improved. That being said you saved two beautyfull models either way. The dogs sticking out the back are such a fun detail.

So nice to have seen yours skill improved over this years and it has been very inspirational and enjoyable to. Thank you so much.

Very nice work, I’ve been watching your videos every weekend over last 4 1/2 years but very rarely comment usually. Congrats on your 5th anniversary and thanks for sharing your videos with us.

Thanks for silently following for so long! Good to hear from you!

I think I been around for a couple of years now. Very nice restoration. I have the Superfast version with the narrow small wheels and the version with the larger wider wheels too. Both are in nice condition

Congrats buddy, you’ve done so well! 🎉

Been following since mid 2020 probably. Honestly one of my favorite channels! Have seen every video.

Happy channel birthday, Jason! I love your channel!

I think pretty much everyone my age had one of those Mercury Commuter wagons, the version you restored is definitely the nicest with the working steering and narrow wheels. Can't remember when I found your channel but there were quite a few resto/custom creators at the time that have now seemingly stopped posting. Keep it up!

Super 👍

looks great, the newer paintjob comes closer to the original hue indeed. :) speaking of Mercury, there is a book on the history of the Ford Taunus Mk1^, nicknamed Knudsen-Taunus (even though Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen had nothign to do with it, but there), and one photo indicates that Ford USA planned on importing the Taunus Wagon to be sold under the Mercury label. The photo shows the car with US license plates and a different emblem in the grille as well as their typical side indicators. but they never followed through. when you mentioned the Commuter being discontinued after '68 this little side fact came to mind. I think I've been here since the time you did Ford week. being a Fordoholic I had to come and take a look... :) and stayed for the content.

Congrats on 5 years !! Not many customisers have lasted the distance. (on youtube) I have seen you pretty much from day 1, I got into watching youtube and found diecast channels when I started working out back in mid 2018. Well done on the Mercury, great stuff! P.S. Any recommendation of diecast places to visit when I am in the UK May/June? Cheers, Marc D
