Rust repair

Post by Hillbilly Comet Man »

Hey Guys,Here is a link to my rust repair how to from repairing my 93 Ford Lightning.The principal is the same whether its a Comet or anything else. I wish I would have had a digital camera when I had to build my lower quarter from flat sheetmetal.My Lightning has been a priority over the Comet for the last 6 months but I finally have the Lightning ready to paint and I plan on doing it before the 4th of July.And then I can put my attention back on the Comet.Later,Heathhttp://www.nloc.net/vbforum/showthread.php?t=150869
ImageBy the way the Ram Air Hood was also built from scratch and is functional,Can't wait to get back on the Comet!!

Awesome looking truck, Nice Job!! I like the way you made the hood scoops look like an AF/X Comet!

Believe it or not you are the first one to notice the Comet style scoops.It also favors the 66-67 Comet Cyclone hoods.

Hillybilly, I have a '66 Comet with a Cyclone hood and the scoops on that hood are recessed, not raised as the earlier comets...cool scoops though....
