    As I said while searching for a new grille for my Comet I stumbled upon this community. It seems the rarity of these vehicles and particular parts yields the need for a "stick together" mentality. I've never worked on an older car before but have a lot of experience in electronics, mechanics and building. So even though I am on a limited budget right now I am curious to see what mods are avaliable and fix the minor exterior needs. The grille I have now was actually installed partially broken as an accident repair when no other grille could be found.

    :Welcome: to the forum

    This is pretty much the largest group for these old cars. You will find lots of information stored here in the forums. Take a little time to navigate around and learn how to use the search function to look up specific topics. Also, the classified forums is a great place to sell spare parts or post your "wanted" ads. There are several guys here that have stockpiles of parts at good prices.
