COMET CENTRAL

A Diamond in the Rough. We look forward to the transformation... or just drive it as is and have fun. Either way, you're living the high life... in a Comet.

somebody on here has the Sunbeam Tiger mods for the 260 and swears by it. I forget who though.

I'm lovin' this thread. Keep it coming. 260 for the win!

No matter where your journey takes you, you're always welcome on the Comet Forum

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

ANY video of a Comet/Falcon going round a track in 2021 is worth watching, no matter what the speed

Awesome. Can’t wait to see some video/audio of that little sprinter, sprinting by at 120 mph.

Nice ride. only things on that list I'd be worried about were the wipers and the heater... the rest all sounds fine just like it is

To think how many people were brought together in friendship due to Mike's efforts is amazing.

So sad to hear this news. He will be dearly missed. Lori, we are all truly sorry for your loss, (and ours).

Very nice car, Welcome aboard. Mine is mostly stock so can't help you much with your plans, but will enjoy the photos as they come

I had to remove the "Lights" ring in order to get enough thread to bite. I looked for a replacement as well, but could not find. Seems one would need a donor car

The dual bowl master cylinder would be a much better safety improvement than disk breaks in my opinion. However, from what I could see in the photos, the rust looks to ...
