    Hello all. Recently purchased a 74 Comet with small bumpers and a 302 in the engine bay. Needs a bit of work, but seems like a solid car. This is my first Ford car since 1979, and I have a lot to catch up on. The last project car I owned was a 69 firebird convertible and like many others before me, "I shouda kept it." Yeah, well I am infatuated with this Comet and looking forward to knowing if the engine run or not! Lots of tinkering to do, lots to learn from all of you, and am looking forward to it!

    LOL...all I have are suspension pics to have as a reference when I went to the junk yard. When I get some daylight without rain I'll take a few shots. I cant risk rain getting into the car in case it leaks, so the plastic is a must. (I hate mold) Such is life without a garage.
