Re: Photoshopped '64 with '65 quarters

Don't look as good as the 64 quarters that's for sure.
I just found a good drivers side off of a post car and a good 2DHT passengers side at a wrecking yard.If anyone is interested they will ship them. Just PM me and I'll give you there number.

Re: Lou's 65 Comet Build

Joe I'm sure Lou is telling the truth about the sledge. I have used one also for trunk lid, hood issues with a few 2x4s.

Re: '64 Hood Modification Question

I have a couple of jobs I'm going to try it on. One the guy doesn't want me to pull all of the interior out of his car for a small floor patch. I'm thinking this may be just the stuff to use. No sparks!!!
Thanks guys

Re: '64 Hood Modification Question

Johno that trunk lip looks new. Does somebody repop it or did you get lucky and find some good pieces? Interesting epoxy how long has it been on your car? I'm assuming no cracking,lifting ect.ect. What is the consistency like when it is dry? I guess I'm asking if it has a little give or not.

Re: what did you do to your comet today?

Put the little six back together. All new valve seals,freeze plugs,bolts,plugs,fanbelt and hoses. Seems to run a little better?? Now I need to find the time to replace the floor pans.

Re: T5 transmission questions

Little high on the price for California.About all you can get is pick-n-pull prices out here for them. Guys run them a lot on the dirt roundy round here. Most hold up some don't. The ones I have run with the stock shifter felt very mushy. Put a after market one on,night and day difference. Good luck
