COMET CENTRAL

So I'm looking for a 65 steering box and the parts above, except I need different outside tie rods for my stock v8 spindles, right? I hope I'm reading this right.. Does the 65 box need to be from a v8 car or were they all the same? And do I need a new column to go with my new box? Thanks guys for a...

Well finally got the interior back in: http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af354/jmd66fb/1965%20Comet/100_4107.jpg http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af354/jmd66fb/1965%20Comet/100_4099.jpg http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af354/jmd66fb/1965%20Comet/100_4095.jpg And heres the bottom: http://i102...

Hi all.. So my motor is about to come out in a couple weeks.. The new one is being assembled.. While it's out, I think this is the perfect time to fix the steering! I want to put 65 steering in my 63. Is there a kit you can buy that has the required parts? Or do I need to try to source all the part...

Wow, so it's possible that the same crossmember from my FM2 could bolt up to a c4? That would save some effort and $ if it worked.. I was planning to order a crossmember and rubber pad this week.. More questions and I know I sound like an idiot, I'm used to bolting the engine to the trans and plopp...

Thanks for the welcome all! This is really a great car to cruise around southern California.. Although it is amazing how much attention it gets just driving around the neighborhood. I met a guy from down the street who told me he built these at the LA plant, and asked me where mine was made.. I tol...

....hows the 4spd project? Pop, I drove the car with the 4 speed and it drives real good. Smooth shifting and no issues. Gotta love that Hurst shifter! Im putting the interior back in it now...progress has been slow. But she's coming together. I hope to be driving around real soon. Ill post some pi...

Nope...the Comet eng compt is too narrow. You can cut and weld but the Comet-specific bars are cheap enough:

Buy it buy it buy it!! Sell your project..sell the parts and buy that thing! But you should get them down to $15-16K first. The listing says it has 500hp and a 8 inch rear :shock: Maybe that can be a good price negotiating point on the need to upgrade to 9". (But looking at the pics it looks like it...

My 64 comet has always been a crowd getter,,every where it goes,is it the color,the 2 4's,the gear drive whine,rumbty-rumb cam I don't know.But I do know a few yrs back,at one of our monthly cruise in's.When we left one of the local loud mouth Camaro boys jumped on me with his 396..I put it on him,...

Gotta get that issue. Old rusty cars are a finite resource..perhaps even our side-lined beloved step-child Comets will (someday) actually be interesting to other than Blue Oval faithful and drag fiends. Not that I care what the general public thinks about my car. A friend of mine has a 66 Charger......
