COMET CENTRAL

We stayed in Moab when we visited Arches national Park. Beautiful country. Your car is looking great, too!

Spring is finally here! Beautiful day in the upper 70's. Went to Cars and Coffee this morning and another local cruise in this afternoon. The guy with the "Gears" built Cougar was at C&C again and let my 9 year old grandson sit behind the wheel. https://i.postimg.cc/k4fPYRxq/IMG-0212-1.jpg https://i...

Looks great! Are you in Utah?

Jim

We are in the zone of the eclipse tomorrow, but may have overcast sky's? Hot dogs and hamburgers and family coming over to the shop to party. We were in the total eclipse zone back in 2017. It was a phenomenal experience! Hope the clouds hold off for you. https://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewtopi...

Jim

First, welcome aboard, Pete! :D The answer to your question isn't straight forward.

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

Jim

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.

Jim

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.

Jim

That will be fun! Go-kart on steroids.

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?

Jim

Happy birthday, bigdan!
