    I got home late friday or should I say early sat morning and just now getting the pics up.I had a few good surprises like 9" rear,disc brake.Also I have seen the add on glove box lid before but not one on a car.I'm changing the wheels and taking out the center console or should I say the wife wants to.

    NICE CAR! After my bumper swap I would be thrilled to have half as nice of a car as that. Love the white with black stripes, just something about it. know where I can find a horn button for my steering wheel? It's identical to yours.

    Those are usually known as "sport wheels". I've seen the horn buttons go through ebay from time to time. If yours is one of the ones with the horn truly built in (not a Fox Body Mustang wheel), you need to be sure the horn button you are buying has the two wires coming out of the back. I've seen people list them on ebay and not specify weather it is a real horn button center piece or not, which would make it easy to buy the wrong part if you don't verify. You may try asking in the parts wanted section also.

    I have a LOT of pictures of that car saved in my Photobucket account. It is exactly what I want done with mine. The slats, the chin spoiler, small bumpers, stripes...all perfect. You have a beautiful Comet man, just beautiful.

    Losing the center console huh? Interested.
