It's time. My '64 Mercury Comet Cyclone Project

[Mvannote]

Hello everyone.

I recently purchased a '64 Mercury Comet Cyclone and have already introduced myself and posted a few questions in this forum.

Like my original '66 Galaxie custom restomod build, I wanted to start a thread on my build progress. Will for sure need assistance along the way and hope to get some help from experienced Comet owners like yourself.

At this point, I'm unsure exactly the level I plan to take this car. I'm going to let that iron itself out. I plan to build it back as close to original as possible BUT will be adding some modern touches to it as well. Those details will follow in the near future.

This is how she looked the day she followed me home.

....and the build begins!

I think that is good to keep a open mind on the level but have guide lines like those.

Before you get too much on here you might want to start your thread in the ''64-65'' section or ''showing off'' section. here in the ''comet lounge'' section where we talk about everything it may get hard to find ,& though you may have it bookmarked it may be especially hard to find for the rest of us if we look for it because the lounge gets so much traffic.

What John said. Looking forward to it, though.

Accumulating knowledge about that car is a great way to start!
Is it going to be long term ownership of build and flip in a couple years?
Being a long time owner of a 64 I think one of the best upgrades is steering and brakes.
The car looks to have good bones looking forward to the build.
