Hello all. I just wanted to thank anyone who had any part in letting A/FX Dave know I was out there. It is greatly appreciated.

I am here a lot, mostly reading as I don't have a Comet...yet! I told my son I'll start squrelling money away to start my own project. The plan is a 65' restored to a replica of dads Goldfender.

I also told my son that we'll pull it out of the garage and do burnouts in the drive to piss off the neighbors! I can't wait.

Thanks again and I'll keep reading.

Mike

Mike. Welcome over here. This is a great Comet thread. You should tell these guy's the story about your Dad, the car and the reunion? We all like a feel good story especially if it involves a Comet! Brian

Well then thank you sir. I now know why you guys love your Comets! Screw the 67' 'Vette with a 427 in it being my favorite car... I'll take a 65' Comet with a 427 in it instead all day long! The Comet definently has the intimidation factor going for it when you look at it.

With much thanks
Mike

If it's okay that I may end up a little long winded I'll do it! Sorry A/FX Dave, I know that I've already made your eyes tired with my blabbering LOL. I mean he's my dad, I think it's cool and I'm proud of him.

You guys are great and keep doing what your doing...it's inspiring.

Mike

Myron;I don't think I have EVER installed headers that fit so well!! I know they are not cheap,but you get what you pay for!!!I figure if Shelby could get over 300HP from a 289 back in 65 with tri-ys that they should work just fine on a street car today!!! ROY.

Roy
Knotttty;
That the correct 5 bolt Bellhousing But that one can't be used for Drag Racing! You need a Lakewood 5 bolt Steel Belhouseing of which they don't make.
Back in 1964 there was a RC heavy alum. Bellhousing that was in the Ford Race Parts Catolog. We had one back then, it's was gone years ago.
That why you a 6 bolt Lakewood Bellhousing makes life much much easier when Drag Racing. ~~~~~~~AFX DAVE~~~~~~~

Yep, was wondering how well they fit. Someday when I have some extra cash I'd like to get a pair for mine. Thanks for taking time to post the pictures.
