    Just purchased a 1971 Comet GT that has been in storage for 25 years. I am second owner. Bought new by an Airforce Dude that installed 351 and 4 speed (long gone), so now it just a roller. Straight but the stupid vinyl top had some slight rust underneath but fixable. The rest is rust and dent free. My goal is to use exisiting supply of Ford stuff with minimal new purchases. Planning AJE front suspension and 408 Windsor with 5 speed TKO.

    Mini tub
    narrowed 8.8
    maybe a turbo later

    This forum looks great. Will post some pics soon
