Comet in the shop again

Nice work!
Although, it will soon become painfully obvious as to how the 3.80's will feel driving to California. How's that aod project coming along?
s! ss!

 

Holy cow!
Let me know if I can make you a deal on some 35's for the rear!

 

Indeed! He might need 'em.

PS. How did you like the "Crazy Russian" email? Hopefully Coop won't be driving like that on the trip!

 

I'll be putting the factory, Comet GT aluminum slotted mags on the car. They are 14" wheels. Wish I could find a couple in 15" for the rear. Then I could get a bigger tire under there...

 

We are still waiting for the upper & lower control arms to show up. She is sitting & waiting for the upgrade. I sure wish I could take it out, in this nice weather. Only 5 weeks till the "Fabulous Fords Forever" show at Knotts. Getting close to crunch time. How are you doing Cliff? Are you going to be ready in 5 weeks? Scary isn't it? Specially when you have a time table...Enjoy the pics...

 

Look'in sweet.
And remember, it's not to late to back out. We'll understand.......considering the new deeper gearing and all.

 

Glad it is coming along for you. I love seeing these kind of progress reports. Keep at it.

 

Hey Coop...looking good! I'm pretty much on schedule(so far anyway) and hope to get the car started this weekend...if it runs I'm good...if not it may put me back some. Still waiting for a stripe though...I hope to know something about it next week. I talked to a local shop who will let me use his car lift....so I can change my diff(can't wait)

 

Coop, American Racing is reproducing slot mags.

One problem. I won't be able to use the Comet GT center caps (they screw onto the wheel). Otherwise, looks good...

 

You could buy the wheels and "tap" holes into them for your screw on caps.

 

looking good :evilsmile

 

Getting them centered to do so, would be hard to do. My luck, they would look like they were wobbling, cause they were not perfectly centered (off set)....

 

Hey Coop...got the car running today(just now)! Sounds pretty cool! Looking good so far! One down... now to do the other 1000 tasks :16suspect

 

Right-0n Cliff! The number one thing is done. All the other stuff is minor. Hopefully, mine will be running next Friday. It's tuff when you're on a time table. Seems like you'll never make the deadline...
