COMET CENTRAL

Is this still available? Thanks

Glad to hear you are doing better Mike! Your positive attitude is probably the best medicine you could have! Looking forward to seeing you back in the garage & wrenching on the ‘64!

Car is looking great Mike! I love the grill emblem!

Here are a couple more pics of the new Caliente before & after power washing the moss off, doesn’t look too bad for a $500 car!

did it have the trim or any other parts inside of it? Yes luckily the trunk was full of all the trim, emblems, headlights, taillights, grill, etc. I think the only emblem I am missing is the C on the deck lid & the E is missing its pegs. I also got 2 front bumpers & a rear (bent) bumper. I’m sure g...

Right now the major parts I need are a trans & driveshaft. If you get back over this way I have a 65 C4 & DS. the shaft came from my car, the trans i bought at the first gathering. Sounds great John, I am definitely interested in them! Maybe I can come out your way one weekend in the next couple of...

It’s good to be back! For now I will use whatever good parts I have between the 2 cars to get the Caliente back together & driving. I haven’t really decided what to do with the 202, but since I already started cutting out the rear quarters to replace them, I may do an altered wheel base straight axl...

I’ve been away from the forum for a while, the rust repair on my 202 had me burned out & I had moved on to other projects. But that all changed Tuesday night when I picked up my first ‘65 Caliente project for a really good deal! It’s been sitting in the AR woods for over a decade, but somehow manage...

Thanks for the info. Joe!

Thanks for the info. Johno! I don't think I need overdrive but I found some really cheap overdrive toploaders so I was wondering if it was worth getting one, now I know why they are priced so low! I will keep looking for a regular toploader, from the research I have done so far, it sounds like a 28 ...

I apologize if this has already been covered, I did a search & didn't find the info I needed. I plan on putting a 4 speed toploader trans. behind my SBF 302 & I am wondering what I should look for when buying a toploader? The car will be a street car with occasional racing. Here are a few questions ...

Ya I assume the doors had big towing mirrors or something on them? They came off of a Ranchero but luckily the guy has normal mirrors on his Ranchero now. This was the last major body panel I needed, my only big hurtle left is getting the rear quarters welded on which I have been holding off until I...

Picked up a "new" passenger door yesterday! It has a few holes I need to fill but that will be a lot easier than trying to straighten out my old door

That is cool! I found one that was in about the same condition as yours when I took the door cards off my '64 Caliente, I remember saving it but it went with the car when I sold it. I really wish I never sold that '64!

Thanks Rocket! You are correct, it is an 1850, the thing on the primary bowl was for a fuel bowl vent valve, it looks like my carb had one & it has been plugged to eliminate the vent. As you can see from the pics. this carb is pretty dirty & will be getting a rebuild in the near future! https://i.im...
