Re: Finally building my 64 Comet
If you need some dog dish hub caps PM me. I have six nice caps with Mercury stamped into them. I think they would look much better than baby moon style.

Re: Finally building my 64 Comet
Sounds like you've settled on the steelies. Get a pint/quart of Polar White and paint two wheels white. Paint the other two black. Mount your tires, put the white wheels on one side and black wheels on the other, then walk around the car a dozen times. Still can't decide? Take a pic of both sides a...
