Car is in my yard. Ha ha
Arkansas is where my yard is. Just kidding around guys.

I haven't got got time to tinker with it yet. I will in the next few days.

I'll try to post pictures.

Blessings to all!

I would do better having pictures printed and sent to y'all's mailboxes.

Thanks for trying to help.

There's a reason I chose a Carburetor, points and coil( not coil pack) no computer car.

But it's a four door sedan, primer grey
13 inch tire, three on the tree, in need of new floor pan.

We are keeping it a 6 cylinder 1 barrel close to original as we can.

Hey … Greg here
I’m starting my second redo on my 65 404 so I’m signing up and probably looking for sources - parts and ideas
Seeing a Comet anywhere is a rare thing these days yeah? They’ve always been rare to me .. kinda why I like them.
Iv previously owned everything from a couple early elcaminos to a string of GTOs - Chevelle’s Novus a ranchero but Iv held onto my first car my 35 ford three window all along.

Iv owned this thing for about thirty years
I bought it from the salvage pool for fifty bucks originally
It was the light silver blue original with the left rear corner crushed in about ten inch’s.
I put a quarter - half a back end and a deck lid on it from parts cars and spent a good deal of time prepping it for Wimbledon White … new carpet - seat upholstery lowering E-Ts and some duel exhaust Granda spindles rebuilt front end … it made for a cool driver.
I daily drove it for a good ten years with the orig 289 fighting rust flakes in the coolant the entire time.
Finally I built a budget 302 but that never ran right. I finally parked it for something more comfortable w ac. It’s probably been sitting at least 15 years now.

I moved from California to Georgia five years ago … So I just now had the Comet brought out here.
Plans are fluid right now
Its definitely getting new red reproduction interior - a five speed and air conditioning
I have a fresh 4v Cleveland lined up as of yesterday.
I’m torn between a Thunderbolt - drag car style look or a more conservative kinda muscle car day two look with red line tires.

Anyways that’s about it for now
Thanks
Greg

Nice car Greg ! you accidentally posted on the tailend of another new members post. you should copy & paste this post on ''new topic'' in the introduce yourself so everyone can find it.

But cool stance on it! comes to mind first thing. Has the top been chopped a tad? windshield laid back or something ?

"But cool stance on it! comes to mind first thing. Has the top been chopped a tad? windshield laid back or something ?"

Agreed, great stance!! And I think that's why the roof looks lower.
It takes some work to get the front spindle centerline that high in the fender openings.
I looked at the pic real close and there are no giveaways to a chop.

Just had double hernia surgery.
So wife's Comet is going to set a while longer.
Good news on the engine, it is not seized up!
Moved it by means of belt and fan, just a little.

Suggestions on spark plug wires?
Local dealers or order from where.

Y'all have a blessed day.
