1965 caliente
I apologize for delay in posting pics, we had o learn about photobucket. Here are few pics. We did learn about the Hipo and some mistakes that we made during the resto.

Re: Accelerator pedal +
Thanks everyone, the pictures are great. I may just wear my coat as opposed to hanging on coat hook. Any way back to work, break is over. A judging crew is going to inspect this week, and we will see if the car is ready for photos. Pix will be on this site first, check Wed.

1965 Caliente rear view mirror
As we try to complete the 65 Caliente project, a couple of problems are at hand. The glove box interior lite seems to be kind of rare and a tuff find, but we do remain hopeful. The major malfunction is determining the correct mirror and bracket for the rear view mirror. A glue on the windshield mirr...

Wind shield and carpet
Would any one be able to inform us of a source for a 1965 Comet windshield, clear, without the "bug" on or in the glass? Also we are trying to determine the composition and loop of the original carpet to the 1965 Caliente, could anyone help?
Thank you
