Well made it to the Brickyard.. drove the autocross again. Respectable time 57.3 the pros were down to 45s. Also got to drive a lap on the 2.5 mile track topping out at around 65. Gonna go back tomorrow and walk the show, today was all cleanning and autocross and swap meet. Try and put up some more pics also.
Nathan;thanks for the pictures! Your Comet looked great,that hood is too KOOL!!! I may steal your treatment around the windows on your CC,I like the look it gives the truck!!My tow vehicle is an 02,white,F350,CC,dually/short bed,4X4. ROY.
Thanks and your welcome to the idea. I stoped in and picked up some vinal from a local sign shop. pulled the rubber trim and stuck it on. i think it helped the looks, noticed f150s have it from factory. I had a great trip and the comet did great. think my chunk is hitting the floor in the rear. and looks as if the oil is leaking from my front shocks. so my winter list is adding up. think im gonna ditch that holley for an autolite 4100 (thanks to another post) and i need a t5 shfiter with stops, probally a hurst.

Just lower the upper control arm,refered to as the Shelby drop by some.
Plus you get quicker neg. camber gain on bump.
Result is awesome turn in on the autocross track.
BTW,, car looks great!

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about
Thanks for the sugestions. but i have the mustang II front. so napa may have shorter shocks for that applicaton, lowering the uppper is not i good idear.
