We will be there in the Fairlane. [IMG]
I am usually pretty open minded and like weird stuff, but my opinion is that it is a waste of a perfectly good Comet. It could be saved, but lots...

There you go, "Die with your boots on"!! My Dad died at 58 also as an insurance adjuster. I am not going out the same way!

Very cool! I likes.
