New to this site.
Its always exciting to find something new, as this is how I've discovered this forum with some friends on another site. I'm currently the caretaker of a 1964 Comet known as 'The Rocket'. It took me about a year and a half to build, and I"m real happy to be here, sharing what I know, but more importantly learning what I do not know from members on this site! Thanks for letting me in the door!!

Dale;it is about time you got here!!!! The "Rocket"is just another old 64 Comet,it got schooled by an equally old 65 and its ancient driver last year!!! At least Dale can take his Comet out on the streets of So.CA.!!!! ROY.

It was a fun evening, albeit it chilly cold!!! The little propane unit we were using barely cut it, but all the gas being passed in the trailer that night was far worse!!!!!!!
