Today I picked up a Comet light weight fiberglass hood. Then I stoped by my friends house (Blink71 the guy that bought Craig Atkins Comet) and he has a truck load of parts for me... Mustang high back bucket seats 9 inch axle Set of 14x7 steel wheels Aluminum 4BL intake just to name a few. And the other day he drove 100 miles to pick up a 71-72 Comet front bumper for me. As long as I don’t run out of $$ this project is off & running!
Hey guys, do these look like V8 frame mounts? The car originally came with a 250 I6 but these look like V8 mounts to me.
Well I dunno, are similar to ones in my Comet. Best pict I have. With yours originally having P/S, either the bracket on driver side has been removed or mounts maybe swapped.
Posting some pictures of the under side of my rust bucket! Sorry about the picture quality, I was in a hurry to take them before it rained. You can see a 1” rust hole in the right quarter panel. Then we pushed it into the shed for its winter nap.
Very nice car! Your friend actually just sent me a few sport steering wheels! The bumper looks fantastic! He was asking me questions on it when he bought it.
Cool, if I remember corectly he said that he was swapping some sport steering wheels for a lower dash panel. He was thinking about building the 75 Comet but decided it was more of a project than he wanted to tackle, I think he’s just as excited about me building the Comet as I am. Bill’s been a great friend and mentor to me for over 30 years!
Yeah I shipped him an absolutely flawless 74 lower dash for a sport steering wheel with the grips and then bought another one him. He’s a great guy to deal with. He even put a maverick emblem in the steering wheel for me. Cam out great! Sounds like you guys will have a good time with the build!
He has a Mercury emblem to put in my sport wheel. Yes we will have fun building my car then we can hang out at the local cruise’s together.
