COMET CENTRAL

From my point of view it is worth buying. I know the struggle of too many projects, but even a clean up and get it into somebody's hands who will save it is a noble and likely profitable venture.

Fryedaddy, I have to agree that the top loader will be the most fun! Hopefully, it works great for many years of street pavement pounding.

Wow, that is a beautiful picture, and looks like a ton of fun! I respect all the work to get it to this point. Great job!

Thank you all for the welcomes! Nice to be in a Ford/Mercury crazed group where I can feel at home. I'll have to figure out how to post some pictures. I will post some more stories on the old Coupe and my stock car days another time. It snowed up here and gotta run to the cabin to plow some snow wit...

Sassy, Yes I do mean street driving.

Not sure if I put the AFX style Crites frame implant in or if I should just do the frame connectors and a caltrac system/

We have a 428 based top loader, pedals etc, and a 67 C6 as well. The choice between the fun of shifting through the gears, th...

Frame connectors and bit of a cage too." - Fred Yes Fred, I am looking at Crites system for trimming the shock towers for the 427, then adding the rear end AFX style supports th...

Thanks Fred, I am leaning towards the Comet with a 427 for the following reasons: - More modern suspension = safer and faster - I am a Ford guy so it seems more true to what drives me - I love the 427 and really want to build one - I assisted my uncle in building a 502 cubic inch 429 based, 61 Fairl...

Good day everyone! Just signed in to gain knowledge for my 65 comet build. Me and my boys have a bunch of old Fords for the street but it is time to go drag racing! I am debating between the gasser style 51 Henry J ( I have 3 bodies, and old running 354 Hemi, fiberglass front ends kicking around) or...
