COMET CENTRAL

trying to post a pic

The hunt for parts is getting to be more fun than the build. I've got a parts car (most of it is in a bedroom) but still need (want) parts. but I'm doing the not-as-fun stuff; patching trunk floor & rear spring perch. I want to have the parts when I need them so the build goes the way I plan it, tha...

well at least you know how to check all the main stuff now, Pop has got you trained pretty good! fire, gas & air, timed. Did you tighten the dist.? it could have moved if you left it loose. If you leave the key on (with out motor running ) a long time, the points could have stuck. I use to carry a b...

yea Pop, its also a little wierd seeing something sort of familiar looking but sorta not at the same glance. almost get a lil dizzy or crosseyed looking in the interiors and the s. wheel over there. were these cars built here or down under? It seems as though 4 doors are more desirable there than he...

Looks great, what are you thinkin, another half? a little lower in the front would look good I think.

A friend with a 1964 small car about the size of a Comet (don't want to use the "C" word or SS) went to the U pull it yard and found a rack and pinion steering piston, made a square tube bracket and ends to fit the original steering spindles it works great and was cheap. I just scrapped out a 96 ta...

Thanks Roy for steering me straight, you dont know how much I appreciate it. I will be asking more questions everytime I am about to make a major purchase, hope you dont mind. All you guys are really really helpful on here. I try to look at all related posts but didnt see any about a front end kit. ...

Thanks for the info Roy & Fred, anybody running a fatman on here? I looked at their kit. I think I like it. sounds easier, bolt on.
