    The only reason I bought it is because it’s so clean.
    I still have a few places to check for a small front bumper, and don’t be surprised if you get a PM from me shortly about parts.

    The hood trim would be great! Would you happen to have any V8 frame mounts?
    And please let me know what else you have, I have to sort through stuff and see what else I need.

    Thank you very much chip.

    Yes . I have the V8 Frame mounts up in the attic . You'll need a V8 Crossmember also .. You can contact
    Frank ( 71Gold) on this forum for that .. He makes them .

    I’ll do a inventory of what I have tomorrow and then we can make a deal on some parts.
    I have heard recommendations for Franks crossmember.

    Thanks again for the help.

    I closed the deal on the 94 Mustang GT 5.0 & 5 speed with headers, trans crossmember, clutch & brake pedal assembly, clutch cable and driveshaft for $600.
    I also picked up a front sump oil pan & pick up tube, electronic distributor for FREE!
    I’ll be sending Cometized a list of other parts I’m looking for, now the hard part begins..... time to work on it.

    I picked up another piece of the puzzle today. :happy:
    My friend found a Comet small front bumper, then he drove 100 miles to pick it up for me. I payed $200 for it then I had to force him to take $20 for gas. 7BE098D1-5C1A-430F-8DB0-EF2DF77C97AA.jpeg 206B1AB8-E6D3-4E74-8029-96C9B557EA89.jpeg 32DB8873-E116-47AB-95F3-5E43C643B338.jpeg E3744E0D-C379-4088-A76D-3A67B6F716E6.jpeg 6C29E7BD-35E7-4A43-AE73-1C5172927D20.jpeg

    Yep, it’s a Ford “service part” that has not been mounted since being re-chromed.

    That bumper is beautiful .. You are indeed a blessed man to find one of these so soon ! I recommend you paint the
    INSIDE of the bumper with a really good quality black paint for added protection. We give the bumpers on our cars
    that treatment.

    Luck was definitely on my side in finding that bumper. Thanks for the tip about painting the inside of the bumper.

    Did you receive my PM about the following Comet parts that I’m still looking for?
    Comet Front bumper filler panel
    Clutch/Brake pedal assembly
    V8 engine frame mounts
    Hood trim
    Hood scoop
