My 72 Comet Build.....

The build sheet should be in there somewhere.....
I know how you feel, when I got my California car, I swore I'd never buy another car with rust ever...
What frame connectors did you use on the other car?

 

Thanks..... I had trouble finding speakers that didn't have grills that look like space ships, I wanted something neat and clean looking..... I ended up buying a set of front and rear Kenwoods off eBay that had the look I wanted.....

Thank you.....

 

I have not decided yet on the exact combo I am putting in this one, but I am sure it will be turboed eventually..... I am trying to sell the AJE front suspension that was in the oter one because I want to go a slightly different direction on this one.....

If I decide to part with the bottle I will let you know.....

You know it.....

The same ones, I just trimmed them to get them up into the floor..... I will be doing the same to these when I install them.....

 

Thanks. What suspension are you thinking of?

 

Thanks, I can't wait to see, I need to order a set for my car.

 

Today I found out the front speakers I purchased are to big for the raised area on the kick panels so I am going to look for something else..... I did get the wiring done to the rear speakers and put the interion back together.....

After that I went to the bone yard and picked up a set of fox body Mustanf low back bucket seats to use in the Comet, i do not really like the stock Comet/Mustang high back seats..... The one I got I know are comfortable, plus I can get anything I need for them easily..... They are faded red, but I am going to get the front and rear seats reupulstered too match anyways.....

Here's a pic of the seats.....

 

No real progress on the car today, I have been needing to clean/rearrange things at the shop so that's pretty much what I did today(should finish that up tomorrow)..... I did however take the car over to have it evaluated for a cage and we came to an agreement..... It will be getting a chromolly cage with swing out/removable side bars, it will also still have a back seat in it(the car will be 8.50 legal when done)..... I'll need to get to work next week, got to mount the seats and get the subframe connectors welded in(it will be going for the cage at the end of March).....

 

Would really love to see pictures of the cage during construction.

 

@Frank, I guess you will be keeping those door panels?

 

I am going to try and get as many as I can, but they will be working on it mostly at the same time as I work so it won't be easy..... Maybe Ican get my father to go by and get some, or I know these guys pretty well and could probably leave a camera with them so they can take some for me.....

 

Yes sir.....

 

It was worth a shot, lol.

 

hey frank any chance you can tell us what the cage is going to cost you? and how long its going to take them to build it?
are they going to cut your dash or are they going in front of it?
