Re: Upholstery

Not sure about a shop in MA, but I think that falconcometinteriors.com should have what you need.

There is also another company called Distinctive Industries that likely sells what you need, but you either need to order it from a local shop or request that the parts are added to Summit's catalog.

Re: 63 Comet Custom

It does look like a nice one, can't wait to see your end results. What was the original color? See Ya, Mike Mike, I believe the color was Blue Satin Metallic When I brought her home, all my dad could say was "wow", over and over again. It was quite the bit of nostalgia for him as well. I can't wait...

63 Comet Custom

Just picked up a new ride in OH 63 Comet Custom 260 v8 Auto Merc-O-Matic Transmission http://i.imgur.com/tkxT4Jq.jpg I'm pretty excited about this purchase. The interior is a total mess, but the body is in great shape and the engine runs strong. Longterm plans involve a C4 swap, new interior, and ma...

Re: Wimpy Turn Signal Switch

What Joe Said. I tried both routes. Replacing the plastic cam (~$12) can be a little labor intensive and requires some keen electrical work. Ultimately, mine failed and I ended up replacing the entire switch harness (~$50) and everything works well now. I went with one from Scott Drake for a mustang...

Re: Painless Wheel/Tire Upgrade?

I tried. Should be a painless swap. I got the front end lined up and it drives great! Good luck. Thanks for the info! Gathering from what I am seeing in this thread, I think I have what I need to start the process. I am going to take some measurements from my current setup to be sure and then its d...

Re: Painless Wheel/Tire Upgrade?

Thanks for the info about BFG. I am just looking for a classic feel (quality tires with white letters), so Cooper Cobras are fine with me. My comet is in storage right now so I can't really check the backspacing at the moment, but it looks like I have some good info to go on for the moment. I didn't...

Painless Wheel/Tire Upgrade?

Hey gents, Tax season has paid off and I got the go-ahead from the wife to use some of our refund to go towards a new set of wheels/tires for my Caliente. Tire/Wheel sizing is not my specialty, so I am a little intimidated at the prospect of figuring it all out. I am looking to get a set of Cragar S...

Re: Correct Tach for 64 Comet Caliente

You can install a cyclone/sprint tach into your 64 Caliente, but unless you have one or want to spend $$$$$ to get one, I'd just go with a different tach. I went with a SunPro Tach and it works great. Really easy to install and can be wired to be lit with the headlights. I installed mine onto the ce...

Re: Wheels and Tires?

Any chance that this wheel would work all the way around or do people usually put 6s on the front?:

Re: 65 Comet Electrical Issue

Update: I thought about what I wrote earlier about there being 12v in the turn signal wiring while braking, and then I thought about the turn signal relay and figured that you might need power. So I rigged it all up again and everything works. The new turn signal switch I installed did the trick. It...

65 Comet Electrical Issue

Gents, I have been having some issues with my rear brake light and turn signal wiring. I have replaced the rear harness and turn signal switch with new components and as far as I know they are wired and working correctly. I am still having the same ongoing issue: Everything up front works correctly:...
