Re: How to attach Mercury Head on emblem?
I'd probably just epoxy it on. or maybe a very small tap ,drill & tap the stud that was riveted on,not the guild pin. would need a squared off tap to get threads deep enough. but the glue would be easier.

Re: Dan's 65 Cyclone project !
I almost bought a needle scaler when I took off the factory undercoating behind the fenders . it was really thick in places & looked like it was going to be a pain to get off but I pecked around with a screw driver & it was so brittle I popped it all off with screwdriver in just a little while ,30 m...

Re: 65 comet polyurethane bushing kit
I couldn't figure out where the 3/4 was. didnt say 3/4 at top but said 1-1/2 x 3/4 under description. maybe it was a typo ? Am I missing something ?
Glad they fit!!!

Re: 65 comet polyurethane bushing kit
Man those measurements sure are confusing. it needs to say which is OD & ID . & needs to say same thing at top as it does at bottom. I like products with specs drawn on a pic of the product like a blueprint showing exactly what is each numbered measurement is on the description. but good luck hope i...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
I couldn't get my mirrors exactly even but I have never thought much more about it & really hard to see them at same time unless you're in a tall building above it . But I got them as close as I could & still be able to see some out of the pass side for backing up. I didn't want interference with th...

Re: Can I fit 15×8 Magnum Wheels on the rear of a 1965 Comet Convertible?
No mine are 15x10 wheels but like Fred said I did a lot of changes, moved the frame rails in & widened the wheel tubs. But for a factory car it would depend on the back space , & getting the right backspace on the wheel of choice can be tricky .& probably need to remove the axle bump stops on the in...

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread
Joe it's good to have you back posting! :D My old beater daily driver has been down so I've been driving my 76 as a daily for a month or two,except for rainy days. It feels good to have some extra power & to hear a good sounding V8 on a daily basis for a change, it just puts you in a different state...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
Keep in mind the inner back seat mounts had a spacer from the factory. I think they were somewhere around an inch thick maybe a little more.

Re: 65 Gage Bezel
2gr8kids did you notice that the od of the rings around the gauges were different sizes? Lol . be cool if you keep all of that like the factory ones so the camera case inserts for cyclones & woodgrain inserts for calientes would still fit.

Re: 65 Gage Bezel
The bezel looks amazing. I am not fluent on ‘65 Comets but for some reason I believe they are the same as ‘65-‘66 Mustang. If that is true you have a very large audience that would be in interested the six gauge panel. Nice work! Jim they are similar but mustang bezel has both sides rounded where c...

Re: 1965 Comet Caliente (little red)
The front of the accelerator pump could possibly be warped. the eyes of the screw holes on the corners are weaker & can get bowed in & cause a leak. you can lay it on a flat hard surface & tap it back flat & /or lay sandpaper on that flat hard surface & rub the pump cover on it to true it up. also a...
