COMET CENTRAL

Here are a couple random photos. I Dynamatted the front firewall and floor back to the rear firewall solid. https://i.postimg.cc/SKnkJpTK/Dynamat2.jpg Below is a generic showing how I am blocking the lines to the tape to crisp up the lines. Big difference if one does it. https://i.postimg.cc/L6vpDsG...

I had the color custom mixed for application with my paint gun. I prepped with Sem vinyl prep and applied two coats of color followed with two coats of satin clear topcoat also applied with my paint gun. The color I chose was tough to work with, I put it on my paint shaker just before painting, it l...

Hey all; I have been working on my Comet for a few months recently. I changed the color of the replacement interior vinyl with Sem vinyl dye. Then I moved on to straightening the body on the rotisserie with primer/blocking. I have blocked the car three times now and I think I will call it after the ...

I have a Blueprint 347 stroker motor for my 65 Cyclone. They guarantee 430 HP and the dyno sheet with mine was 440 HP and the same for torque. Even so I cut the shock towers to free up some room for the headers. One should have installed subframe connectors and lots of cooling to make the swap as we...

Finding ways to be productive in winter. I am rear firewalling the car and sealing the package tray. The photos show the progression to completion setting up for 5 1/4" rear speakers. I don't want kick panel speakers in the front and am pondering a couple under dash 4" speakers for the front. The so...

Yes you can see the floor is for a bucket seat car. The front braces are just backers and the rear braces are built into the floor supports. I had to trim the floor supports and then welded them to the subframe connectors. But the holes are for the factory bucket seat rails. The subframe connectors ...

I thought I has a set bought for my 65 Cyclone but I have the two rear ones are correct and the other two for the front are blue code and wrong for the car. Any help/advice much appreciated! DR------------

Hey Barbee, imagine seeing you here! My 65 Cyclone is a factory bucket seat car, I saved the original seats and installed a new floor pan. Below is a photo of my floorpan. You can see the front seat mounts if you look closely. You wont be using factory seats but the backers show how the factory did ...

I had to replace the entire floorpan in this car. I saved the original 4 speed floor backing plate and installed it on the new floorpan. I was able to save the original 4 speed hump so I decided to put it all back stock. I welded nuts to the floor backer and fastened the hump to the floorpan with 1/...

Current winter work, I bought a set of headliner bows that were one red and three blue. I can use the red and one blue but I need the other two that go in the front two positions. Installed Dynamat while on the rotisserie. https://i.postimg.cc/X7rr5mzR/IMG-0547.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bJRmQssw/IMG-...

Lou: I am using the Express kit from Ron Francis. I called them and talked to them about my project to make sure I was on the right track. I have not used their product before but I helped a friend with a project and that is what he used. I was impressed with the product and level of support.

Thanks Lou: I used 1/0 Cu wire for both + and - for the cable to the front. I installed my battery disconnect in the - cable at the battery and I used a resettable 250A circuit breaker at the battery in the + circuit. I will install cable tie-downs when I do final assembly. I have seen other battery...

Jim: After studying what I had, I used parts from the installation kit that came with the seatbelts. I found the correct size washer from my stash and welded the nut to the washer. Then I drilled a 1" hole in the metal flange so the nut could go to the inside of the flange metal leaving a nearly flu...

While I was at it I mocked up by 3pt. seat belt install.

I have been progressing in winter mode. Got my battery relocation mocked up. I am running both cables to the engine bay for install on starter and starter mount bolt. I will pull additional + and - circuits from there to my terminals. https://i.postimg.cc/j2chcgbG/DSC01816.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/b...
