COMET CENTRAL

Are those functional thunderbolt style intakes?

I considered going from Green Frost to Sultana White with a red interior which I like a lot more but I like to keep things fairly original.

So I’m going to paint the interior Turquoise Metallic. That color was only offered on the Falcon, Mercury and full size Ford but not on the Comet. The original light Green Metallic makes me wanna vomit so I’m breaking with it’s originality, again. I think the darker color goes well with the black i...

So the the A/C is up and running and the heater core held up for about a month. I now know that the heater box can be removed with the A/C in place. The front wheel bearings were growling so I replaced them and while the u joints only had a few thousand miles on them, they were 30 years old, didn’t ...

I didn’t photograph the speaker before installing it but JEGS sells a dual speaker for the dash grille and I was able to get it to bolt right in. It works well with the retro sound Bluetooth stereo.

Thanks that’s a big help!

Actually I meant Aqua not Turquoise. I wish I had read up on the cowling ventilation system rust repairs before I painted my engine bay. I would’ve gone on and done it right the first time working from above. I still might if I ever do a really good paint job. A cold repair will have to do until the...

Does anyone have recommendations for a good source of upholstery for the cats eye Comet? A number of folks have used this source: https://www.falconcometinteriors.com/ Jim I am floored by the excellent customer service and appreciate your recommendation. Jake not only set me straight about the subt...

All long gone over 30 years ago. Deteriorated and rusted away. I pulled an old Harley shirt out of the cowling that I crammed up in there on a cold winter day! Thanks for the info, I have them on order. When this flimsy rubber collar needs to be replaced in 2050 I’ll get my nurse to order two Mustan...

Then they want to offer you less than what you have invested in the tires alone!

What am I missing here?
(Besides the front half of the heater box)
Time to start applying foam seals inside heater box.

My friends teased me 30 years about the sound of headers and duals on a lowly six cylinder. And I bet their cars were half ton heavier than your Comet. :P Early Comet doesn't need huge horsepower to move fast. I think it's boss 👍 Need Mercury Man on that evaporator! Joe Okay he stays! Those guys al...

I’m about to find out if I’m gonna need some of those gaskets! The unit is insulated and nearly ready to go back in.

Cool to catch your thread 8) I like the 200 upgrade in the old cat eye 👍 I have a different version of that radio in my '63. No bluetooth but have RCA aux out I can wire up for digital devices. Only listen to it in the driveway. Listen to the engine when I drive 8) Joe My friends teased me 30 years...

Thanks for the tip. Jake has already been a great help, talking me down from my crazy ideas about trying to install 61 upholstery on a set of Mustang buckets. After studying photos more closely I realized the Mustang frame is definitely different enough to make a difference. So we’re looking at some...
