COMET CENTRAL

I could go for a couple of gray 4XL

I think our Comets are cooler than we give them credit for. I have noticed that any time I take the 63 out to a public place, I will invariably interface with at least one person that has a story of their memories involving a Comet. As an added bonus, it draws female attention like no other car I've...

I've got Arizona "Historic Vehicle" plates on my '63. Cheaper registration and cool copper plates. AZ doesn't care if it is a DD or not, long as it is 30+ years old.

It *can* be done, but you just about have to do it in a nitrogen atmosphere and have everything else absolutely perfect.

You can get brass -6 JIC fittings through various outlets that will readily accept aluminum AN threads.

Mine has the Hooker long tubes in it, but I'm running a C4.

I will check tomorrow but the issue might be how close the two pipes are together, seems they are pretty close, not sure how those Aussie boys connect them :roll: It'd be a nice look to make up some rectangular (or oblong) flanges out of ¼" 304 stainless with 2 ports and an annealed copper gasket i...

That is beautiful - I think I'm going to get that printed out and hang a copy of it in the "shrine".

Yours is flat gorgeous!! Making me consider the Ansen Sprints as a possibility for the wheel change!

I've never been fond of those band clamps, in my experience 1 out of 100 will actually torque evenly enough to get an effective seal. I'd look into having a machine shop make some matched flanges out of 3/16 plate to tie your collectors in with the pipe. The fewer slip joints you end up with, the be...

Did a little local charity show on Saturday.....2 Mercs in the whole thing and they ended up side by side: https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14650176_10207407921504908_6915781104774059062_n.jpg?oh=6a1aa33dbbc200e4c1a813855f0efa47&oe=588AEE28 Had my "cancer stand" set up, giving away pink...

Installed a new antenna so I can bump the "good time oldies" on 1240 AM through my jammin' 53 year old speaker.

215/65R15 on 7's front and 8's rear.

I'm thinking of changing to 205's on the rear and 185's on the front, and going to 7s and 6s on the wheels.

It's a cross between new springs and me tinkering with the old Hijackers to get the perfect rake. Once I get this tire rubbing issue sorted out, I think it'll set more even. I think I need to drop about an inch of width in the fronts and keep the same diameter.

So the weather finally decided to work with me and I got some half decent photos of the whip: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xIz_0gnlQ4wBwvypxBACp8na54AL5nPlWGRSsTDH_iQ42SJS-6DpCkOcrleV4EhSsFUOraFPejXACNXoFRdIzuxycq-S_fxEMkJ07AMIMYYpryvA36zxJLGWWtfvCw7gWvVcnjBfskXwbJMUl2QRoBmfOviZBdI9SZnrEfZjbtXn...
