COMET CENTRAL

So true, Joe! That grille even made a few Lincoln SUVs look good (relatively speaking, no SUV really looks "good").

That grille would be perfect for a retro-Comet based on the Coyote Mustang, but we will never see that.

<1.5 hours away from me. I used to stay in Greenwood when I went to the Formula 1 races.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I can't comment on the Eaton springs as I am not familiar with them, but I am happy with mine from General. They are stock replacements and work as they should.

Where in Indiana? I may have to make a road trip to see it.

Everyone probably knows this already, but I just learned that if the adjustable master cylinder pushrod is a tad long, the brakes will work fine for a couple of stops, but the pressure in the calipers does not fully release each time. Around the 5th or 6th stop, the calipers won't release at all. Yo...

Pop- I would gladly quit my job to get one of your cars

Fred- I think there is a red Comet from just about everywhere on this forum

Welcome! I love the early Falcons. I was actually looking for a 63 Falcon when I stumbled onto my Comet.

Dydaktix- I will give you the Granada brakes from my 63. Take the money you would have spent on a disc brake kit and buy 5 lug wheels Problem solved

The one time I forgot to check the old filter to make sure the gasket didn't stay on the block is the one time I needed to check. :oops: I started my engine and sprayed 5 quarts of Mobil 1 everywhere. This was in the mid-90s when Mobil 1 was 5 or 6 times the cost of conventional oil. :shock: Every o...

I posted a "Granada" brake set with master cylinder in the classifieds. Free if you can pick it up.

I couldn't resist testing that theory I could indeed print it from your link.

Ah the good ole days. I spent a summer in GA when I was a kid. I remember a girl driving a green GT500 KR to school like it was just another Honda Civic.

I think you are right about the cars and parts that will be there. The one time I went it was mostly Fox body stuff. I expect it will be that and Coyote stuff this time. All I need is for one guy to show up with a 68 or 69 pitman arm and I am good :D One thing I am confident about, there won't be an...

That is a nice engine bay right there!

I gave away a perfectly good 260 because I found a 331 for less than what it would cost to make power out of the 260. Probably not a smart decision but at least the 260 went to a good home.
