I'm sorry, I know I'm sick, but I think that Bronco'd chassis Comet in Oregon is BITCHIN!!!!!!!!!!

Out in the dunes at Glamis with that beast would be NIRVANA!!!!. Then, take the Rocket over to the sand drags, equipped with paddles, and whoop some arse!!!!!! Oh yea.....

Hmm. It's probably less than 1000 miles away.

And it IS a unique vehicle.

And it already has CA plates.

But it would probably get me in a TON of trouble! Hmm.

Dale, there are 9 early bronco's out behind my shop???
Just let me know!

Got just got my July Carcraft that has Great coverage and photos of Todd's Comet Cyclone, that how those 65's Comets AFX's come out of the chute. Back when I ran the AFX or BFX I would notice there was always people running to the fence. They look look like there moving while there sitting still.
Does Todd's Comet have Fiberglas fenders and doors on it? I was also wondering how much it weighted w/o driver? Keep up the good work Todd.

Thats funny. The car sat in my garage for two weeks, in anticipation for the photo shoot, and I don't think I once tapped around the car! But- I'm pretty sure they are steel. The front fender lips have a beautiful patina from when the tires just kiss them from the wheels-up launches!

Oh..... Don't be dangling that carrot out in front of this old Mule. Before I die, the world will see me toodling around in a Bronco- THE ORIGINAL ASSAULT VEHICLE.... I"m thinking a roadtrip up to your neck of the woods may be in order.

Oops! There must be a typo in your post.

I thought you said NINE early Broncos. That can't be right. Can it?

Go for it Frog. Mine is kind of a hack job but the Cleveland is in there and still runs 11.50's.

On my never ending list of future projects is to open up the engine compartment with a Crites kit or something on my own like the FE guy's do so you can actually work on the thing.

There is a new Cleveland block coming out soon from Mark Mckeown called the Titus block. It has several improvements over a stock block which is the weak link in a Cleveland. It should be out soon? Brian

[SOHC427]

Nope, 9 is the number, not including the one in the picture. I am pretty fond of the little Bronco's!!

Dale, there is a keg of Coors light in the shop, (Probably why my Galaxie isn't finished) and a booze store that sells the Fine Shine you Cali guys like so much!!

Love it!!

Todd's car is all steel, save for bumpers and hood, and with him weighs in at around 3,100 pounds, give or take a six -pack...

Truly a banner year for the Comets, guys! Three features,and now this came in the mail today. A feature as well, but in Mooneyes own magazine/catalog. A bit different style of photography, but it looks so bitchin!!!

[65COMET]

Dale;TOO KOOL!!!!!Where can I pick up a catalogue? Pretty awesome,three Comets in Camaro Craft in a 12 month period!!!!!They may need to start calling the rag Comet Craft!!!!!!! ROY.

[teddisnoke]

They sent a few from Japan, but I believe Moon stocks them, and you can order from them. It almost reads like the Rodders Journal. The first story is an INCREDIBLE photo-history of Moon, from post-war on. Pictures never seen before. Cool stuff......

[SOHC427]

Camero Craft! That's great Roy. You guys made a great showing for the Comets the last year. Very nice. No if MercuryJunkie, would get some press time on his Cammer Comet, that would be pretty cool as well.

Crites headers next to the Jardine Custom set







Had a great time in Casper at Jardines. Their shop is an old dealership from the 60's. Way Cool. Could spend hours there talking Drag racing and looking at the photos on the wall. If You Get the chance Check them out.
