COMET CENTRAL

Welcome to the site and congrats on your new adventure. This has been a great site for me too. Lots of smart folks here (not me ) to help you.
Looking forward to seeing your 62' Comet.

Welcome to the website. Congrats on your new purchase. It looks like we may have twins? Mine is the same year, model, color, and engine. I have had "Mrs. Pickles" for about a year and a half now. The original owners name was "Beatrice Pickles". She was 67 years old when she purchased the car in 1963...

I've used this company many times in the past. Not sure what year and model of car you have though.

We are in Hendersonville, NC just outside of Asheville. We got hit hard with flooding, power lines, and trees down everywhere. This is the worst thing I’ve ever lived through in my 64 years. I’ve lived through earthquakes in California and hurricane Fran when it hit Raleigh, NC. Hurricane Hellene wa...

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Well it finally cooled down enough to repair the paint that peeled off from spilled gas. I watched some videos on line, bought the needed supplies including a can of color matched aerosol, removed the rear bumper, and went at it. I could not get the aluminum rear panel to come off. I think whoever r...

Thanks for info.

That must of been a pain in the butt trying to fill up in freezing weather. 😭 Thanks Joe. Don't drive it much any longer. Fill up 2-3 times a year. Joe 2-3 times a year? I don’t feel so bad now. I try to get Mrs. Pickles out at least once a month. My wife’s already saying “don’t put any more money ...

So is that how the fuel neck is on Comets, off to the side like mine rather than straight down?

Stock tank, yep.
The slow fill up problem is common. If someone has a solution....

Jim,
You are not only close, you are dead on! I took Mrs Pickles to an upholstery shop in Inman, SC. I didn't trust going down and back on Hwy 26, so I took Hwy 25 to SC and then cut across hwy 11 to Inman. I knew Hwy 26 was going to be too steep.
I live in Hendersonville.

Hey Joe, Hope you are doing well. My three grandkids are running us ragged. I didn't know retirement would be this busy. LOL. I feel like an idiot. I realize now that that tube is a vent pipe and not the fuel line. Duh. I'm going to do what you said and see if it is clogged. I was both excited and f...

Thanks for that info. It looks like the TFFN site is long gone. Let me reach out to the Ford Six site.

OK Folks, so I was finally able to get the headliner installed on my 63' Comet, aka "Mrs. Pickles". It was a very pricey because the front and rear windows had to come out in order to put the headliner in like the factory did them. While they were out I had a brand new windshield with tint installed...

Thanks for sharing that link. Much appreciated.
