    Thought I'd post a couple update shots. First time I've had it out of the garage all year. I got tired of the multi-colors, so rattle can primered it. The car is going to get soda blasted before we start any real body work so, it'll do for now. Here's a couple of shots. - Matt

    Ah, but beauty is only skin deep as David can verify. I've still got the pile of sheetmetal that I got from David to fix her up (torque boxes and floor pans). - Matt

    The Comet looks good! I think I'm going to be watching this one too to see how it turns out.

    Yeah Dennis, kind of looks like your Bronco. I've got to get an updated pic of the Grabber. My brother's son is buying it off of me to fix and drive to HS. Should be a good car for him with the 200 six.

    As for my Comet, it's going back the factory Competition Blue with black interior. My uncle had a car like this when I was a little kid only it was a 302 3spd. He hauled me everywhere in his car. He died when I was 13 of cancer, so this is going to be a tribute car to him. When I get back to NJ, I'll post a pic of his car from back in the day. - Matt
