COMET CENTRAL

Welcome aboard! What have you got, and what do you plan to do with it?

In SC, any car 25 years old or more can be registered as an antique car provided it's not used as a daily driver. Tag and title fees total $25. No taxes or tag fees after that. I'm sure it probably varies by state. Just call your DMV.

I was at the Charlotte auto fair earlier this month and saw nothing for Comets, any year. Last year there was one 65 Caliente for sale, and I saw a few emblems in one booth. There were a few Falcons and Falcon parts, and tons of Mustang stuff and cars. Lots of 50's and 60's Chevys. My son-in-law is ...

Lookin' at the wrong calendar, there, Corky. It's June 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Congrats, Pop and Glenda!

Jim

Hey gearhasher ... what did your bell housing and T-5 come out of? I'm considering the same conversion on mine. Are you using hydraulic or cable clutch?
Jim

Ron set up his relays in Comechero really neat using an old regulator housing.

WAS always told to never cross sides with a radial That was the case back in the late 60's/early 70's when radials really began to be promoted. Casing separations were more prevalent then, and were attributed to cross-rotating the tires, which caused the tire to rotate in the opposite direction fro...

There is speculation that they're the same for both bodies. I haven't measured it but it is not thin. It feels every bit as thick as OE. I'll hit it with my calipers and share. I don't know how gauge converts to actual measurement. FYI: https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/sheetmetal.html Jim

Old school look of bias ply or a radial of some kind, that's where I'm stuck. You said you went to 15x6 wheels, which I assume are narrower than the wheels you had on it. Each 1/2" reduction in rim width will reduce the tire width by 0.2" for the same tire. I'm not surprised that bias tires cost mo...
