Hello all: I just brought home my new 1965 Comet Cyclone 289 A-code with factory 4 speed. I built a 1965 404 a few years ago and I am very fond of the platform. I just finished a 6 year build of a 1967 Barracuda notchback coupe and needed another project to keep me out of trouble. I was very glad to fine this site and look forward to becoming an active participant.

Hey thanks for the welcome. I am trying to learn your navigation system and I am a big photo poster and I like to post total build threads on all my cars. When I built the 404 Comet I posted to TFFN for help but Comets were a sideline there. I am really glad to find this Comet specific site.
Building my Barracuda I am an active member on FABO and I am DesertRat on all the sites I post to. I do no other social media except the site for whichever car I am building at the time.
My new car is relatively rare and I am formulating my build plan. It needs everything including complete interior, disc brake upgrade, AC retrofit and extensive dash repair. When I figure out the Photo posting I will start my build thread and post up the photos sequentially. I feel fortunate having already built a 65 404 so I am in my comfort zone. I am glad to be here!

Welcome on! I remember the user name over on tffn. I use a couple of pic host sites,including the comet central one but more often I use postimage because you can set it to automatically resize your pics as you upload them. a few pointers & about & links to it on this thread;

Thanks for the photo tip. It's just a new system to learn for me but I will figure it out.poboyjo65 wrote: ↑Sat May 02, 2020 9:09 pmWelcome on! I remember the user name over on tffn.

The hotlink to forums seems to be the best all around. & set resize to ''message boards'' is the best all around. if you leave it on ''do not resize'' sometimes it will cut off the right side of pic but it will zoom way in on the left & center .

Welcome aboard, Doug! I'm on my second 65 Cyclone 4-speed now. The first was 40 years ago. My first one had a 289, but my current one has a 302 out of a 68 Fairlane. Looking forward to following your build.

Thanks to all for the quick welcome and information. I can already tell I am going to get along well here. This site has good bones a lot like TFFN did. I posted there for about seven years until I started my Barracuda build. I am going to be asking for a lot of advice and help. Ambition stays in my head but memory does not serve so well anymore:-)

Re: New member registration?
Right on Fred, when the time comes PM me. I have a question, does the site have "thank you" or "agree" icons somewhere one can click to respond to posts? The FABO site is good that way. Just asking.
Re: New member registration?
I dont know but the site has just been updated so maybe.
Someone will know.
Re: New member registration?
We havent been there for several years but there seemed to be a fairly big car community there!
Re: New member registration?
There are more emotes available but getting them in takes going into the long settings file and adding the codes in manually and haven't felt like attempting to do that yet with the upgrade. I still need to get the site logo back into the corner
See Ya,
Mike
