    Took some more pics today, after I gutted the car. First pic is of the grill I got from mean_maverick, looks good, and of the personalized plates I went with.

    You can probably get a quart and have more than enough. Just follow directions. :)

    You call that rust? Man, you don't have any rust yet compared to the way mine was. Wire brush it clean and coat it with something, and you'll be good to go.

    I know, not that bad. Can you beleive it was originally a Washington car, but spent most of its life here in Idaho. Still not bad for 200 bucks. I have spent more then that just at the junkyard. And I'm going to spend more. Anybody ever bought a trunk lid from a Junkyard, and what did they charge?

    Not a bad looking Comet. (y) There's nothing there that can't be fixed.

    Car is looking good. Rust is very repairable. Have Fun, that's what it's about.

    They charge a core charge on a trunk lid? Never heard of that one. :hmmm: I can understand core charges on rebuildable parts such as engines and stuff but what they gonna do with a rusted out deck lid?
