2 door S-22 is not too easy of a car to come by, especially a solid one. Comets in general are getting hard to come by, that aren't rusted out. I...
Exactly what I'm looking for with the Comet. I have no need for a full on radio, want to keep the stick one there (still works) and could hide...
Nice car....you don't see too many of those still around. In fact , I don't ever remember seeing one in my area. All tri-five Chevys. Nice to have...
When you run the rear lines.....shift them to the back side (rear) of the axle. A lot of older cars run the lines in front of the axle. Back in...
Like a "where's waldo?" for HAMBers.:D
Looks great. Much better with the wheels painted and WWs.
Only with distilled/de-ionized water and only in a glass container. Use tap water and a few shakes from the salt shaker and you will have no...
That's one think I miss about WA. I was out there in the military, in the mid 90s, and my wife is from there. A car sitting in the weeds, like...
Like the stude. It's always cool to have something different.
Beautiful Car.
I like it. Always nice to see something different. Thanks for all the pics.
I think mine is about 30" :D......but I'm working on that. Getting harder to squeeze behind the wheel on the old cars.:eek:
Can't tell you how many folks have walked up to me at an event/show and asked, "Hey what does HAMB stand for?" They see the HAMB logo on the front...
Look for the congregation of hot chicks gathering around a cool car. If the car is 64 or older go up and make contact. He's either already a...
Saw the green star and wondered what was going on. Already responded to this thread several years ago, I guess. Yeah a long time ago the options...
Great advice....... With the economy we're in now good deals are starting to pop up all over the place. It really pays to have a few bucks set...
I understand both sides of that coin. I've had cars that have sat 2-8 years before I messed with them. One I was gathering all the parts for...
Been a while since I've been on the ice....but my ride was a little bigger :) And a lot farther North too......a shot from the North...
Thanks for the great pics and write up. Sucks, event was right around the corner and I missed it. Do they have the event around the same time...
Country Classic Cars in Illinois...........LOL That one's sure to raise a few eyebrows. Ron Pratte sure has been spending a lot of money at...
Smokey and the Bandit......and a few years later......Friday the 13th (the first one) Late 70's and I was pretty young. The theatre was shutdown...
Only thing that bothers me, as a Ford and Merc fan, is to see one of those cars with a SBC in it. I don't know why. I guess it feels to me like...
looks like a 49 Chevy by the emblem on the hood and a 49 Kaiser
Art Arfons didn't think green was an unlucky color (back in the day as some have stated). Matter of Fact he broke 3 land speed records at...
Thread the steering wheel nut back on till its flush with the end of the stem (protects the threads on the stem), then give it a few good whacks...
Hit the nail on the head. Lose the center caps, keep the wheels and chrome lugs. .....or painted steelies with spider caps.
I think we are starting to see the golden days of garage/yard sales right now. I have never seen so many as the last couple of Saturdays,...
Very true there. A lot of folks don't realize that measuring tools, including those torque wrenches, can be knocked out of calibration if...
Your car is the same color as my 60 Comet and it's a stock color. Looks white from a distance, but when you get close to it you can see the light...
That's just what I was thinking. I've been an industrial plant operator for over 20 years and have seen lots of industrial blowers. Definitely...
