My 72 Comet Build.....

I had to look at that top picture several times before I realized the Comet pan was under the Mav one. It kind of blends into the table.

Well, that stinks ... I wouldn't think the ends would be that much different. The contour changes right at the edge of the corner. If you want the other pan I have with the bad corners, it's yours. You could stitch the corners off this one onto it and make one solid piece. Lotta work, but I have a hard time imagining that there are many good Comet pans out there.

 

I never thought they were that different either..... I put an add in parts wanted, if nothing comes up I will just work with what I have.....

 

I have a rust free one, but it has a dent on one end. it is straight the dent is in the wide flat part.

 

You have a Comet stone guard?

Can you take a couple pic's of it.....

What do you want for it Ken?

 

yeah .... like I was saying ..... NONE of them left out there anywhere .....

 

I sent you a P M

 

Returned.....

 

Got the last 2 tubes made for the pass side header and got the collector welded on today..... Also took a ride to Ocala and pick up a pretty nice stone guard..... Tomorrow I will get the flange inlets welded/ground and get the v-band flange on.....

Today's progress.....

 

Thank you for the near perfect mav stone guard, It was good to see you and your dad again...

 

Can you get away without that dent in the one tube? Everything looks amazing I just want to see this come out perfect.

 

No problem Ken..... Thank you for a good usable Comet stone guard and good to see you again too.....

That tube is actually dented in 2 places, I put them in it for a little extra plug wire clearance..... Because where the collector has to be that tube had to be a little higher then I really wanted it, no biggie because it's not gonna hurt performance anyways.....

and trust me it's not perfect, it's pretty good but definitely not perfect.....

 

I finished the pass side header today and got started on the driver side crossover.....

 

That sure is a Lot of PLUMBING ..Looks like you got it figured out ! Nice Work !!

Thanks Chip..... and yes it's far too much plumbing.....

 

I think the coolest thing about all the engine shots are that it is all bare metal/aluminum. Don't polish it or paint it .... just leave it as-is and clear it!
