COMET CENTRAL

Thanks for the video update Great to see this stuff, almost like coming down to FLA and checking it in person.

See Ya,
Mike

Stacy, cool video. It makes me wish I would have taken videos when i built my car. To have some narration with pictures would be great to help remember what and why I did some of the things that I did.

The dash had Futura trim added (not). I welded all those holes up. The radio had been butchered then another face was somewhat tacked in. This was a ton of work to straighten.

Looking very nice Stacey. You do excellent work. Love to see the pictures. Thanks for posting them. Looks like that was a lot of work.

Looks great, Stacey. Man, that dash has more curves and contours than a mountain road. I'll bet you had LOT'S of fun working it out.

LOOKS good from here ,,,,you for sure ain't been idle.....a little bit of that dune buggy work you do so well,,and your for sure will have a pretty one.....keep on keepin on......thanks LR for the pic's..pop

Wow, no kidding...I’d probably forgotten what the round body dashes were like!! Looks great!

It occurred to me while working on this over the weekend that the Mustang double humped dash was inspired by the Falcon dash.

Mustang is just a Falcon in disguise.

Great work, at least you didn't have to worry about block sanding that to get it flat.

See Ya,

Cardboard console template done. I'll make it out of luan, then pad and vinyl cover it. It looks wedge shaped but it is 8 inches wide front to back.

That's gonna be nice LR ! & nice looking ac too!

Keep the pictures coming. I have to do the same thing. I'm interested in how you put the council together and cover it. Thanks. Love your work

Do you plan to install a repop Falcon console lid or make your own?
Jim

I will double pad the lid and cover it with the same cloth the seats are covered with. The rest of the console will be vinyl. And shoot, I just realized I forgot adhesive when I was at Lowes early this morning. They had some nice 1/4" birch plywood. I bought a grade 1, 1 x 3 to rip into 3/4" x 3/4" reinforcing strips.

More to follow.

I moved the shifter to the left side of the shaft and made a shim to get the shifter closer to the driver.
