Re: What first, bondo or epoxy primer on bear metal

Re: Slowly restoring my 66 Comet Caliente

I know you can get the stock radio modernized on a 65 not sure about a 66. Comethead Joe had his 65 done maybe ask him about or check his build thread if your interested.

Re: 65 Futura in East TN . . .

Cool you have the kids involved! One of the best things my father did was to let me be involved with his car builds. Memories I will never forget.
You must have some history in welding/fabrication. Do tell.

Re: Slowly restoring my 66 Comet Caliente

Are you going to leave the whole car bone stock? Not many are left that way now days. I always get Input from buddy's on what they would do if it was their car. Once in awhile I get a good idea from one.

Re: Slowly restoring my 66 Comet Caliente

Only 64,000 original miles but there's a ridge on the cylinders.
I bet someone didn't change the oil enough or ran it with a dirty air cleaner or without one at all.

Re: 65 Futura in East TN . . .

I can see you are building yourself one bad a$$ car :roll:
I'll be watching this thread. We can all learn something from a guy that is building a car with this much fabrication involved.
Thanks for posting.

Re: Slowly restoring my 66 Comet Caliente

Another bad thing is these paint jails (as Roy called them) have no regard for the hard work that you have already done & wont even keep it covered up to protect it from all their dust from everything else they worked on. :evil: & often loose parts that they removed. :evil: I have seen all of this ...
