Hi Joe. I love red especially being an NC State fan but planning to go back the stock Polar White. You never know as plans could change. Fred’s is really sharp!

Red Comet thing kind of a running joke around here.Darrylp27529 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 10:38 pmHi Joe. I love red especially being an NC State fan but planning to go back the stock Polar White. You never know as plans could change. Fred’s is really sharp!
Polar White would be sharp and relatively inexpensive, cooler in the Summer.
I would reshoot mine original Raven Black but much too hot and I'm not top-notch body man to pull off black very well.

You probably know Caliente means hot in Spanish. Red is the only color it should be

That is one beautiful red Comet. I do have red seats and door panels for it!

So the Comet took a backseat to my daughters wedding and a few other renovation projects.
I pulled everything out of the car a few days ago trying to get ready for Lizardskin and also tried to clean up the dash. The previous owner had purchased some white face decals for the gages and I gave them a try. Baby steps.
