I'm new to the cars older than 70ish. But inherited a 61 comet s22. I've learned a bunch from fordsix performance. Can't show the car because the pics to big

Just got a 200 in it last weekend and first short road trip this weekend. I'm wanting to get the suspension built up next.
Got a start with some 65 v8 mustang parts.

Really liking the power and rear selection. Steering and brake upgrade in the front would be wise.

Cool I like it
you will need the Comet drag link, the Mustang one will be too long. Not sure of all the steps to install '65 suspension in an early Comet but it will help if you can do it. Just post how so we all will know
I have had my eye on a 60-61 for a long time and I have a hopped up 170 looking for a home
But it might get a Ranger running gear and more modern system for my wife plus I think I might know some with experiece, hopping up the Ranger 4 cyl
JUst have to find a cheap donor truck
See Ya,

Thats next. V8 components still debating the disc brake conversion though. More than likely it will happen. Already have a dual master cylinder in that is capable of drum/drum or disc/drum

There was a bolt in ifs for the 60-65. But I can't find it now. It was a M11 type and around $1700
