New Comet for my Daughter

Post by jmartin99 »

I purchased a '61 Comet last year to restore for my 14yo Daughters first car! It had a 140 and mercomatic 2 speed auto trans, switching it to a 200 L6 with a C4 Auto...granada front discs, 72 Comet 8" rear.

Are you getting your daughter involved?

Welcome aboard, Jeff! :D How about sharing some pics with us? If you're just getting started, you could start a build thread in the 60-63 Comets section and let us follow along. If you have any questions, there's plenty of advice here for the asking.
