COMET CENTRAL

If what you are calling a tie rod is the wire that goes from one side track lock to the other side one with a turn buckle to adjust it. It should be ran through a hog ring at front of seat in the center of the seat. This takes up the slack while keeping it from dragging on the drive shaft tunnel. I ...

That's impressive!

Looks great Fred! with same od It may not be lower but the taller rim is closer to fender at top giving the eye a lower perspective .

Happy Birthday Boss !

Going to a dual master is OK, but if you don't replace all the wheel cylinders as well. why bother with the master. I would say for the safety of the dual MC. because if you rupture a line with a single MC you wont have any brakes at all. but if you rupture a line with a dual MC it can only affect ...

The more closer to being in tune it gets the more fine tuning & resetting it will need. just gotta keep tweaking everything. they are finicky about the float settings. cant always go by the book with today's fuel. I toyed with different power valves for my 4100, which is basically same a 2100 except...

What welds?

The ones you cut 2 years ago

Joe

Dude, you have the patience of Job to tackle all of those welds. Great job!! :D Like Lou, I was wondering how you are going to handle temp controls, esp. the defroster? I was thinking about the NASCAR cowl induction but remembered you had the air intake tackled already :roll: Joe What welds? :? we ...

You stalked that project for a long time, but when you pounced you went for the kill. :lol: Looks good. 8) I know you're itchin' to get it back on the road. It's been a while. Jim Thanks ,I would call it dodging this project. This new painter guy actually painted the cowl ''when'' he said he would ...

I added some new garage art to the Shop today. It is amazing the things you can do with a CNC plasma table. I had this image on my computer for years I finally got to do something with it today. https://i.postimg.cc/s2B0M0G2/DSC02886.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SR4ZtSTX/DSC02887.jpg https://i.postimg....

Jo,
That looks very good! Still learning about Comets, and that looks like a big project to me!
Guess I need to go back in your thread and get up to speed on your build.

Thanks yea I need to get back up to speed on it too, & get it back on the road.

Finally made some progress ,I glued my cowl top on last night. Man it was kinda hectic, but barely got er done within the 90 min work time of the epoxy. I used 3M 8115 , an old friend now & I still love it, but it had been so long I had to hit up Lou again for some refresher advice. Thanks again Lou...

Welcome on! :D I agree with all who said it looks like a comet LCA & strutrod>>at least what I can see of it. Fred right ,that just like mine ,is called a vario-centric camber kit. it doesnt have the round eccentric washer things like in powerband's pic. kind of same principle but square OD. & there...
