Before the Comet I built a Cobra replica in a one car garage while I was living in a condo. It was on an alley so there was no driveway. Luckily I...
Roy: thanks for the heads up. I was a fun day. Doug: Below is a picture of Comet row. I wish I took more pictures. [IMG][/URL ]
Roy, I have never heard of a car running too cold either. I didn’t think that was possible. I have to do more investigation to see what I can find.
The thermostat is new and what was in it was a 160 way too cold and I put a stock 193 in it. Before that the temperature would never go up. The...
I finally got to a car show. I drove the car to Scottsdale as a long distance test and went to the Show at Pavilions. The picture is the Comet...
I just sent you a PM.
Roy, Thanks for the info. It would be great to see you so let me know if you are coming down.
Roy, Thanks for the heads up. I thought since the radio cut out in the dash is the same in the mustangs and falcons that an aftermarket radio...
Roy: Thanks for the ideas. Hope to see you soon … somewhere. S55mercury66: Thanks and thanks for showing interest in the post. It has been a...
Roy: Thanks I agree defensive driving is the way to go. Unfortunately I did not feel the Comet was ready for an 800 mile round trip so it stayed...
Roy: thanks for the complements we had a great time changing it from the parts car status to on the road status. I hope to get the car to one of...
I am finally done with the top. It wasn’t hard just time consuming and of course there were lots of interruptions in the middle because of life....
Roy, Sorry to hear that the racing was not as expected. Hopefully you still had a good time. Finally got to do some work on the top. First...
Jfreakofkorn, Thank you. We have had a good time working on this project. My daughter is ready to get the car full time but the top still needs to...
Rprice76: Thanks for reading the thread I'm glad you enjoyed it. The project has been a lot of fun for us. Roy, The car ran great. It was the...
Ahh sad times. The Mercury show has been canceled. We drove down there so we made our goal of driving the car to the show but alas the show was...
Finally got the WABS module turned into a speedometer module, installed in the car and tested so now I have a speedometer. Tomorrow I will get the...
I have been working some on the car but mostly I’m waiting for parts (the top). I had keys made and verified that the PATS security systme that...
Roy, It’s hard to get the real sound on video. It’s not too loud but has some volume when she puts some gas to it.
Thanks Roy. Ok try that link..
It was the big day on Saturday. The cars first time back on the road. Below are a before and after of us pushing the car in just after we got it...
Roy, No plates yet and I am going to try and do the top myself. The top is optional for the Anaheim show but not for the trip in November.
Thanks Roy. We got the tires yesterday so my daughter and I installed them. [IMG][/URL ] [IMG][/URL ]
I spent the weekend finishing up the seats and installing them. The interior is done at least done enough to register it and drive it. I have the...
Actually Hotzona was Steamyzona. It rained twice while I was there and not a small amount either. My brother and I finished the upholstery work...
Thanks Roy. I'm in AZ right now and went to a cars and coffee this morning with my brother in his 36. Good times. A little steamy but good...
Roy do you know what date the cougar mercury show is? Their web site is not updated. Is it Saturday October 18th?
Thanks Roy I will see if I can make it to the show. I got the back of the front seats done. Much more work than it should have been but lesson...
Roy, Sorry to here you will not be there. I will try and get there with my Daughter. I looked for info on it but it's not current.
I would love to make the show. You wouldn't happen to know if I can register the Comet without the material on the top. My goal is to drive it to...
