Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)

I think most state laws the turn signals need to be amber not white or clear. so if you run clear lenses you probably need the amber bulbs. But you might want to check your state laws beforehand.

Re: 65 Comet parts needed East TN -

Dan keep in mind caliente wheel well trim is a tad shorter than cyclones because of the different lower rocker trim. I thought I saw a few tailights on a table in your pics?

That’s a Mustang tag number. Strange it has the lever for a cable throttle. Does it have the same number on the ...

Re: Let me start!!!!!!!!

Like Poboy said, a little wiggle room. That wiggle room is a lifesaver and makes the job a whole lot easier. You know when I looked at yours I thought I bet he had to loosen those bolts up when he was trying to get it in. My first try I just had a flat platform -this pc of alum,,, & it got in the w...

Re: Ol' Black Mattie 63' Comet Custom Build

I would stay with mustang spindles (they are same as 65 comet) . some have had good luck with granada spindles & some have reported bump steer issues. mustang/comet/falcon spindles will always be easier to find than granada's. & parts for them will be available for them a lot longer.
