Hey everyone. I'm Lee. well, here's my first post. I'll be on and off this board, as i work out of town with no internet during the week. I look forward to learning tons and getting ideas for my '74 Comet. Well, until my next post, Cheers
Welcome Lee....I'm really glad you made it as this is the place to be! I really hope you get your engine rebuild finished before the Parksville Show. Do you already have it out? I know of a complete '84 5.0 motor for $100(maybe less) that you could rebuild instead...let me know...k
Ok Here's A pic of the Pumpkin. at the moment, it is a stock 2 door, 250 comet. it originally had a black vinyl top, however the previous owner had it removed when the car was sprayed about 5 years ago. it is the original color, with a black vinyl/cloth interior. bench seat, and three on the tree. it has a rear window defogger, and optional front disc brakes. i pulled a 302 from my parts car, a '73 maverick. the block has been machined and prepped, i have all the rebuild parts, and just last week i took a bunch of parts to the machine shop for balancing. My plans for the comet are to do a bumber swap to '73 bumpers off my parts car, do an engine swap with my soon to be performance 302, and have the car sprayed with a gunmetal grey base, and charcoal metallic rally stripes. Cliff, let me know on that hood scoop of yours. i might need it for the GT look :bananaman yeah, that'd be sweet. i don't know if you can see it in the picture, but the comet's riding on a set of 14" cragar "ss" wheels, soon to be replaced with 15" rear, 14" front 5 slot mags. cheers
