I have listed several 1964 Comet Parts on eBay,

see others by checking see other items.
Happy hunting.
I also have front and rear windshield stainless sets for sedans 2 and 4 dr.

I ended up running single exhaust, so I did not use the Maverick manifold.
I sandblasted it and painted with Eastwood stainless steel exhaust paint.
It's for sale if you know anyone wanting one.
$65 plus shipping

I hope I am not violating some forum rules by posting here.

I replaced my rear glass in my 404 2dr with a 64 Falcon 4 dr glass

Does anyone know where to get a 64 Comet 404 Gas cap?
Apparently it's a vented cap. My tank does not have a breather vent tube, should it have one?

I have a 64 Comet. New Tailight lenses are crazy expensive. I have polished plastic lens b4 with good success. However these are partially bleached and some crazin (fine cracks but not thru) I was considering polishing the centers where the light comes out and then put a light mist coat of red (mayb...

The cast to rechrome and anodize everything is prohibitive with a car of such low price potential. Probably save me approx $2500-3000 or more considering shipping etc. And what do you do if they loose or damage one of your rare pieces ?? I've heard a few horror tales. has anyone else had rechrome an...

Thanks for the ideas. They look great !
I'm gonna forge ahead.

My trim is pretty straight - all usable - wow lots of trim on a 404. Some pieces have parking lot minor dings. This is a budget rebuild so anodizing or chrome plating is not being considered. Also chrome on pot metal pieces a little weak (only minor pits). Tailight panels have a few dings on edges t...

Getting ready to reassemble after painting. I painted fenders not on the car. 1. Are fender bolts along edge of hood usually painted body color? i guess the cars were painted assembled? 2. Are these bolts the ones with a separate serrated washer (non removable) or should these bolts be the ones with...

I now have access to a gas-less mig welder for my inner rocker and floor pan repair. Is gas-less ok to use for this or do I need to be looking for a gas mig welder. Opinions and experience welcome. In my experience the flux core welding method does not work well on thin body sheet metal. Also it le...

I need to redo my washboard side trim and have to remove the Comet letters. They are riveted on it seems. I guess just grind rivet heads and reattach with ?? JB Weld ?? Maybe weatherstrip adhesive?? or ?? My washboards have enough dings I think the only thing to do is slick them out with body filler...

Just rebuilt my 1964 260 I put 4 qts and primed the engine. The dipstick reads about 1/4 " over full. The oil dipstick I have measures 22 1/8" to full mark from edge of shoulder at top of dipstick. the shoulder adds another 3/8" when pushed all the way in for a total of 22.5" to full. The dipstick t...

How many qts for fresh rebuild. new torque converter also.

I don't think dipstick is original so I can't trust it.

Thanks

I have 64 Comet factory 260, C4 It was an original car that I am taking apart to restore. When removing the wiring harness there was no Neutral Safety Switch on the trans (and no wire to the trans) or the outer steering column. I became convinced maybe it was internal to the steering column. I disas...

My 1964 260 spun 2 rod and a main brg
Found a nice standard 1964 289
Just making a cruiser.
I guess the 260 heads will work except they will raise compression about .5 over the 260.

I was gonna use all the other 260 parts, intake, carb, exhaust man etc.

Any comments?
