Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
They look good to me. If someone calls you out on it, that's their problem, not yours.

Re: Can I fit 15×8 Magnum Wheels on the rear of a 1965 Comet Convertible?
First, welcome aboard, Pete! :D The answer to your question isn't straight forward. As far as what's the biggest tire you can fit on a 8"x15" rim, it looks like about a 295/50 according to this calculator: https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/wheel-rim-size-calculator At least t...

Looks great, Chris. What was the "adhesive enhancer" you used?

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
Good to see you back on your thread again. Pushing that clutch pedal is good physical therapy, too. You should aim for at least 100 reps/day to build your stamina.

Re: Wheels + Tyres for 64 Comet Caliente
If you have any designs on upgrading to front disc brakes in the future, you're better off going with 15" wheels. Tire availability is better with 15" than with 14", too.

Re: New build 62 Comet
Might want to consider converting to 65 suspension to reduce bump steer.

Good to hear from you, you old rascal! Been so long I thought maybe you'd done gone to seed. Been putting any miles on your Comet lately?

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Thanks for the tip on the KBS tank sealer, Jim. I was aware of KBS, but only for use in painting iron railings, etc. I didn't know they made a tank sealer. I was planning on using Caswell tank sealer https://caswellplating.com/caswell-epoxy-gas-tank-sealer-car-tanks-up-to-20-gal-1-quart.html . It se...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
We had to be creative on getting the fuel filter off. It was not very dirty but had not been changed in a long time. You're fortunate to not apparently have too much, if any rust in your tank. My car has a 302 out of 68 Fairlane, so uses a separate in-line fuel filter rather than an integral one li...

Re: Building my 65 Comet
If you have the time to fool with it, it would be cool if you started another thread on the truck build in the All in the Family section. It would be interesting to see what you do with that one.
