Welcome John,

I'm from Ohio also. I'm 35 miles North of Dayton. Small town not on most maps..lol. I too would like to see some pics of your Comet. Hey another guy my age, John I think we are the young bucks in here! :). Never thought 42 y.o. Was young but hey I'll take it. Most everything I have learned in my life was taught too me by someone Older than me, all I know is over the last 5+ years there has been a bunch of knowledge lost to the man upstairs. Vast amounts of knowledge about these old cars and motors (FE's).
John or any other Ohioian wouldn't mind catching up with a few of you next year at a car show or race.

I'll get in here to bolster the youngsters (sitting happy at 43, here in the Shawnee with my soon to be cruising '64 convertible). Everything I've learned about almost anything has come from asking as many questions as I can before people get tired of them.

Thankfully nobody here seems to get too tired of the questions, so I've found a good home.

Comets are ageless, which makes those who drive them (and repair them) ageless as well.
