    hey guys, Ralph here. I sold my first 74 Comet GT about 3 years ago. Been kicking myself ever since. A couple of weeks ago I found another one, only this one has power brakes, a perfectly straight body, and the original mags. I found out a couple of days after I bought it, the entire floor was almost rusted out. I'm lucky the seats didn't fall through. I'm thinking of posting a restoration thread. I've bought floor pans for a 65 Mustang that I'm going to use since Maverick/Comet pans don't exist. I also need to find what fuel tank filler tubes are compatible. Where the cap goes is completely bent so it won't screw on correctly. Anyway, glad to be here, and I don't plan on selling this one.:drive:
