COMET CENTRAL

I have heard it said that 63 Falcon repop quarters will fit, with some cutting?

Falcon seat are the same...

Well, front end stripped, fenders removed. No rust. Tiny bit of bondo front corner DS fender.

Splash aprons need replaced. Suggestions? Been looking at mustang repops from dynacorp.

Toe boards good.

Hmmm. Will the repop 65 Mustang splash aprons available through dynacorp work on a 63 Comet???

Well, I have to figure out how to modify pics to upload, but since the car was bought it has been a busy summer. Finally had the car delivered early august, and started the tear-down. The car is about stripped. The engine ready to pull, trim off, interior out, top off, grill and lights off, etc etc....

So I have bought three rims that are 13"x4.5 5-lug.
Now am thinking 15" or 16" 5-lugs for back end. With centres that will accommodate same poverty caps.
I might resto-mod this car (s-22 Convert), so am thinking bigger rear tires and skinnies up front....

having no luck decoding......

Well, can decode castilian GoldS22 convertible. No idea what 938 or Mk stands for. 578200 seems to be the production serial number.

I ws really thinking about origin al wheel size, so am guessing by what I have read that 13x4.5 5 lug is the way to go? How far from getting car home? I discovered it in a shed two doors down from where we live (!?!). We move this month a mile away, so will pull it out of the shed then and into our ...

I have a 63 S22 260 convert.

The original wheels are long since gone.

So, just to be sure, as I go out to replace with originals, what are the correct FoMoCo wheels for the car, and what would be a good tire? Radial WW are what I have in mind....is a 5 lug car.

Will post pics after I get car moved - still sits on property bought from (I am in the middle of a household move, so holding off until that is done end of month).

Desert Valley - wow, what a resource!

So, looking at my (Canadian) car, I have the following tags to decode: Door data tag: 1AA 938 MK 578200 R76B 63L On the right passenger fender ??? 76B 63L (rest obscured by a repair - will soon uncover) On the rear interior convertible panel 76A C3DB 763101? from Canadian Automotive Trim Division, A...

Northern BC 63 Canadian Convert Comet S22. Just bought car. Will need a restoration, but pretty solid (I think....). Still have to get it up on a lift, but am happy with solid floors. Rockers and Quarters need rust repair (anyone doing repops?). Needs wheels. Interior looks Falcon - wonder if that i...

I am a school teacher in Northern BC Just bought a 63 S-22 Convertible 260 (Canadian car). Have lots of questions - decoding data plate/vin codes/body tag.... Am familiar with Falcons, owned a 63 and a 60 Frontenac, so not entirely new territory, but it has been a while since I have had an early 60'...
