COMET PERFORMANCE

Roy would have told you: "You don't need no stinkin' brake booster! Get your lazy butt to the gym and work on those leg muscles, wuss!" That's basically what he told me when I introduced myself on the forum and mentioned that I was considering a PS and PB conversion. :lol: :lol: :lol: Good ol' Roy, ...

Did you just weld a nut in? Any reinforcing needed?

You must have been rich!! $125 paint AND mag wheels? I’m jealous. Oh yeah, I was rollin' in it! :lol: When I bought the car it had chrome reverses on it. I bought the American mags from a friend for $100 for the set, then chained the chrome reverses to my mailbox and sold them to a passerby for $50...

Those are great pics of a really cool car! My clock only turns back to 1970 when I bought my first Cyclone. The pics aren't as good as yours, and are from 1973, but she was my pride and joy. :D 8) Like you, I had one of those expensive paint jobs, too. Paid a friend's brother $125 to paint her. Four...

I just did mine, how It went is on my build thread. I got mine from Summit for the free shipping. A Dashes Direct, fits really good except it was a little short on the pass end, but not really noticeable. I am happy with it! This is a link to the page in Lou's thread that he mentions.

The old chain trick might work well. Haven't seen that one in a very long time.

Happy New Year!

I think he got 3-4 things right! :roll: maybe. but yea very poorly written. bad ,that's the worst article I've ever read on anything. I think a junior high student could research for one night & do a lot better than that. that's terrible. :? X10! Biggest pile of BS I've ever read! :x Not only are m...

Like the Ranchero, like the 8N (?) I think that's a later model, Joe. The 8N had vertical bars on the grill. Here's a little Christmas Eve whimsey for you. Us Comet guys aren't the only ones that like to tweak our Ford rides. Santa could really pull his sleigh with one of these. :lol: https://youtu...

HO, HO, HO .... Merry Christmas to all my Comet friends! (I like your sleigh )
