    Dude!!! Nice car, looks real good all around! :)

    I agree, just tint the windows a bit and the rollbar will fade away. Have fun with her!!

    Derek-
    That looks great. I really like the look. What kind of tach is that?

    What is under the hood? 4 spd?

    Tiniting on the windows would help a little to hide the roll cage, wow Love that look, looks like my car with small bumpers and no halo top,

    I think I am in love with your car. That is one of the very best looking cars I have seen. I love the simple yet very tastefully done look of it.

    Other than painting it white,thats exactly the way I want my Comet to look when finished.I like cars that look stock,but aren't.

    Good condition?

    How much work did you do to it to get where you are?
    It looks like it was in nice shape. It gives me some ideas
    for the 69.5 Mav. that I bought in May. Originally gold, now
    white with the light gray/gold interior. Dan Starnes picked up
    some bucket seats for me that I bought on E-bay.

    It already has the factory dog dish caps and blackwalls.
    It needs a V8 and 5 lug swap.

    Post more pics.

    I had this pic downloaded from somewhere. Maybe a little lighter color
    than yours?
