    Earl met me this morning and helped me pick the car up. 1973 Grabber, 93 vin code, early 90's 5.0 HO Roller Motor, T5 5 Speed, New Clutch, Edelbrock intake, Holley 650 Carb., Overall pretty solid car little rust to take care of and brake work needed but hopefully will take care of that tomorrow with the assistance of Earl. Had a great day with Earl and thanks for the help.
    Hood has issues where it was leaned againt garage. Any local guys with good deal on hood let me know.

    I understand. Owning a Comet requires having taste for quality :biglaugh:. It'll be ok. Just keep posting those great pics :thumbs2:


    On a side note: I hope you guys know I am having fun and don't mean to be insulting..:Handshake
