COMET CENTRAL

Received my plate and it looks great - just as expected. Thanks Mike!

I'd like a plate please.

Can't wait to get my plate. I've got a spot reserved for it in my garage -- It's going to look great.
Thanks!

Thanks Johno. I need to get some better pic's then I'll put some more up. The car is awesome. The acceleration when all 3 carbs kick in is all I can handle on the street, but if you want to just cruise around it does that great too - Just running on the center carb around town and then shift into 5t...

Please put me down for 1 plate. Looks great!

Very interesting. How do the roof bows connect? I wonder if it'd be possible to add these bows to my current '65 Caliente headliner. My headliner has the more common set-up and is in perfect condition but I believe the 'internal' flexible bows were installed incorrectly and as a result my headliner ...

Thanks for photo Yours looks more contoured to the roof than mine. Here's a pic of my 65 and then of the 64 headliners... http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y376/Duff_V8/6BD1BAB1-27C7-4EF1-BE25-0F4A205C9AB3_zpswr2pbhlq.jpg http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y376/Duff_V8/A3CAEC14-951C-4BD8-B0FD-1B8...

Great info Thanks! The wrong or misplaced bows would make sense with what I'm seeing. Does your headliner have much of an upward arch on the sides (above the dirver/passenger windows?) Mine pretty much spans straight across. Just a slight arc above the door opening. The '64 arches right with the con...

I just picked-up a really nice, rotisserie restored '65 Caliente hardtop this past weekend. I love it. The only problem is a lack of headroom. It has 'like-new' bench seats with new foam and springs so I know that's part of the problem but I'm not extremely tall (I'm 6'1") and the top of my head alm...

If you want 15" rims, I'd go with a 15x6. My Comet has the 15x6 American Racing Torque Thrust D's with 205/70/15 tires. They fit well - (very close up front on a full turn but doesn't rub). Just my opinion of course, but I like the old school look of a 70 series tire (tall & thin) on the '64-'65 Com...

Wow Robert! Two remarkable Comets - they are just beautiful.

We don't live too far apart (I'm in Grafton, Ohio) maybe we can get our Comets together sometime this summer.

Do you drive them often?

I like the wheel covers and it's not even close IMO.
When in doubt I always choose the stock look.
Great looking car!

Yep!

Dave, If Mansfield is the 'Fun Center of Ohio' then yes, I come thru there all the time. My wife and I both grew-up in Galion and we still have lots of family in the Mansfield/Galion area. Maybe we can meet for lunch or something the next time we're in town. I agree - this is a great forum and thank...

Thanks Robert. I don't head that way too often but if I do, I'll certainly look you up. -- It'd be great to see your Cyclone and talk to another '64 Comet guy face-to-face.
