New to the Comet world

Post by 65droptop »

just got this about three weeks ago, nice 289 (A code) auto. Drove it home from SoCal to where I live in Arizona, went great, needs a little work but nothing I cannot handle. Thank you for letting me join the group.

Welcome!
Pretty car, is it to be a well maintained driver? Any plan for updates?
I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

Right now I am rebuilding the windows, adding the lower frame brace, monte carlo bar. lots of tuning and adjusting of the car to get it where I want it to be. It will be a respectful restomod with most mods hidden and keeping true to the cars original looks. really looking forward to putting wheels on it.

Welcome aboard! :D Nice looking ride. Have you been taking pics along the way of your work on it? Consider starting a build thread in 64-65 Comets. We'd love to follow your progress.
