She's looking sharp, Lou

Nothing cleaner than a shiny black straight paint job.
Nothing dirtier than a wavy one.

Thanks Joe.

Thanks Lee,, appreciate the kind words, Got to admit big smile down here 600 miles south of it too! :D looks fabulous!!! looking forward to tips on windshield install, rear window & package tray cover. does rear window need to come out to re ...

Thanks Guys!! Think I am going to try 205/70/15's on the front. John yea not sure what those trim pieces where called but glad I deleted them. Been making some process, cleaning and polishing trim pieces, installing and aligning front clip, and just picking at whatever.. When installing pieces I use...

Was messing around earlier organizing pieces and parts and cleaning stuff up. Stuck the master cylinder against the firewall and I think something is missing or maybe extra holes have been added? Does this cutout look correct? This car originally had power brakes. http://jcrootandsons.com/photogall...

That is COOL !!

Looks great!! I agree with Boss you are making awesome progress. One thing to think about, the top of your dash is gloss. You will probably get some serious reflection from sun of the shine dash. You may want to mask off just the top of dash a spray a coat or two of satin/ low gloss clear over it to...

Been working on Comet here and there. Been working at reassembly. Finished the vinyl roof, put rubber edging on the rear vinyl roof trim, where trim touches paint. https://i.postimg.cc/Kvn6fW89/A2-E55916-A3-B7-4-FD7-B8-F6-F5550-DBC19-D0.jpg Picture of vinyl roof done,,, https://i.postimg.cc/W1TQH7Ds...

It escapes me but what is the term used for when each part is removed when doing a complete paint job. Removing fenders, hood, trunk, etc... not the Maaco mask and paint job??

Nut & Bolt restoration ??

Nice! What are plans for the car? Painting it the color of his original? Looks like a solid car!

wouldn't the rear line for a falcon be too short anyway since the wheelbase is shorter? I would think so. But the kit would save a lot of work. The rear axle tube lines should work. Then run the line from rear axle forward and where it stops short plumb the proportioning valve. Then all you need is...

Thanks Lou. My concern is that I am using a dual reservoir master cylinder and not sure if the line inline offers will work with that. I may need to mod a bit but I hate flaring SS and worry about lines being too short of needing to be reworked They have OE steel kit also. And if you contact them t...

I have a CSRP conversion so everything is there except the hard lines I believe. Just don’t want to have to custom make all of the hard lines Inline Tube has kits for 64/65 Falcon. I would think that would be as close as you can get to a 64 Comet (short of finding a 64Comet kit) https://www.inlinet...

I didn't know it was removable! There's hope! Any tips on how that can be done? Thanks so much! Ed I have a clutch alignment tool with different ends for different bushings. I fill the hole in the bushing/crank with wheel bearing grease. Then find the adaptor that fits the hole in bushing tight, in...
