COMET CENTRAL

Thank you gents! That’s very helpful.

That suspension kit looks great, I’ll look into that some more.

Good Point! I found another suspension kit that comes with a a nice shim kit and a spindle. Maybe that is a better way to go. The spindle for that kit is a 70' spindle. I thought the 65' was the specific year to avoid bumpsteer but I get confused with this spindle stuff... Does anyone know the exact...

Thanks for any advice. I ended up putting felt to keep it from scratching and clattering around https://i.postimg.cc/PqGM0jD6/IMG-3675.jpg but originally I was trying to find a grommet. I read somewhere that this one worked but I've found the Dennis Carpenter site often mis-fits parts https://i.post...

Starting a build thread for my 63' Comet Custom to track the fun and frustrations lol I started last winter and got a lot of very helpful advice from the group already and been back after it this winter and will continue on. Were Ol' Black Mattie is now: -67' 289 with cracked main bearing caps -C4 w...

Does anyone know the part number or have a link for a grommet that will fit a 1963 comet custom? I’ve been searching for a while now, ordered one with no luck on fit. I appreciate any info, thank you!

That is really slick and easy to access. Thanks!

Thanks, Jim. That helps!

Much appreciated! Could you have mounted that to the firewall or were there no ideal spots for that unit? I’ve seen some guys put it in the glove box simply for ease of access. I think I’d like to keep my glove box functional and put secure that under the dash or firewall, if possible.

I’m getting closer to pulling the engine and trans so I’m thinking I’ll re-wire around that time. Now I’m looking into kits and instructions on how to diy. I found this kit but would appreciate any advice or recommendations. I imagine this is something you really wanna take your time with and plan i...

A few years late to this thread but figured I would drop this link here, since I just went through this. It’s for a mustang but it is for the most part the same steps.

I know it's a long shot but in need of a 63' Mercury hood emblem OR any recommendations of someone who could custom fab an emblem in it's place.
Thanks!

I don’t have cup holders but I do have floor mats. When I had the carpet installed I asked my upholstery guy make up some floor mats that would fit my modified floor. They have a rubber product on the bottom so they do not move around once they are installed. The heel pad and toe pad on the trans t...

Man, you guys got some great looking interiors....

Used C4 automatic that I can rebuild with an upgrade kit (1970 or <). I live in Tennessee so I guess it would have to be "driveable". Thanks!
