COMET CENTRAL

Thank you Ron!

We have just about finished the complete restoration of my '63 Mercury Comet Custom, 2 Dr. Hardtop Coupe. We have been looking for a steering wheel for the Comet, to no avail. At the car show this past weekend in Moultrie, Georgia, we talked with folks who have a lot of Ford experience. We found tha...

Thanks...will be taking pics very, very soon...and will give it a try....

Thanks everyone for responding. I had hoped to document the restoration of the Comet on this forum, but apparently I am not mentally capable to get images to this site. I have always selected and dragged images to show, so my Imac and some of the other sites have spoiled me...but when the car is str...

Thanks for the info.

I did find a place in Michigan that says they can make a cable to our specs. and ship it out the same day. My restoration
guy likes that idea the best as this job has worn everyone thin.

I really appreciate all the feedback and effort looking for me.

We have just about completed a total restoration of a 1963 Mercury Comet Custom 2 Dr. Hardtop Coupe; however we are striking out on getting the right emergency brake cable than runs from the front to the rear brakes. We have tried Ecklers which is also Dearborn Classics and Mac's to no avail. We hav...

Thanks guys for the information!

When we first started working on the Comet I tried to upload pics to this site, but I guess only working with Macs, I don't seem to be able to navigate properly to
upload. I have a friend who hopefully will be able to help me do so tomorrow evening.

Thanks again!

We are totally restoring a '63 comet. When acquired, it was just the shell of the car, all the trim was in the backseat, no motor, nothing under the hood...but did have a quality paint job. As of now, we have a 302 under the hood, Hedman hedders, AC, front disc brakes. We are limited in space with t...

thanks everyone....i really appreciate all your experience and knowledge!

In a few weeks we should have my '63 Mercury Comet 2 Dr. Hardtop Coupe ready to test drive. I have heard that those cars used 13" wheels, but I believe the rims we have are 14 inch. Any suggestions on what tire size would be appropriate without affect turning radius, etc.? I have looked at new rims ...

i will check the driver's door tomorrow...thanks.

Thanks everyone.....according to poboyjo65's information, my vehicle is a 63B...but at a Vin Number Decoding site on the 1963 Mercury shows for a Comet Custom 2 Dr. Hardtop Coupe, the third and fourth number of the Vin is the Body/Style. The third and fourth on my vin number are 13....and on that si...

bmmaurer, Thanks for the Oldride info; however, that is what I have which shows a body style of 13, but that does not translate to any of the Ford numbers....The only thing I know for sure is that I do have a '63 Comet Custom 2 Dr. Hardtop Coupe! I will relax my concern about trying to match with th...
