    You have a nice car to start with. I'm guessing we are going to see a very nice looking little Comet, come July.(y) Looking forward to seeing it.

    It is a Comet. Could be different.

    i really didnt care for the sst's personally, plus they were in bad shape with rust...the front drivers side wouldnt hold air(i had to air it up to drive it to the shop this morning). i was pretty happy with the look of the steelies. when i get the front end down it will look alot better.

    Nice project. I had its Maverick brother. Changed my look a bit but I still like the light blue color. I would have kept the color if it didnt have so many touch ups and dents. So off it came and now shes Grabber Blue.

    Is your gas cap tight? Looks like it's not clocked all the way, or it doesn't match the filler neck indents.

    darren i really like the looks of your car and thats kinda the route i wanna go with mine. i watched your youtube video and really liked how you kept everthing simple and clean. im keeping the grabber blue a possibility for color when i repaint cause im not really in love with the factory blue

    I like the light "factory" blue, or something similiar. The color is not on many cars, at least the ones I've seen. To put it another way, "it's different", partly the reason, many of us have these cars. Whatever u decide my Comet brethern - Im sure it will be vry nice. .
