    Here are a few pics I took at the show, the black car is a comet with a maverick front clip. I have some detailed pics of the custom grill (still have to have them developed) That I will post later.

    It's kinda cool to see Comets out numbering the Mavericks. That's pretty rare!

    ~~~> Well, don't forget the Free, all Ford, NPD show at Silver Springs in January. Hopefully, it will be warm and sunny. If I can find the damn weatherstripping for the door, I will have the 9500 mile 73 Comet done.

    HEy Rick, if you go, make sure you plan on some time to visit Don Garletts Muesum in Ocala. Not to far from the show.

    Yes Maverick73 ,I saw the 4 door you are talking about ,its a very clean dark green car with hubcaps and an IMCC sticker in the window...the owner wasn`t near the car when I saw it.The pic of it is on the other roll of film that is still in my wifes camara:slap: . I also saw a couple of other small bumper 2 door cars in and around the speedway ...I`ll have to get that film developed and get the pics on here soon. The Black car with the custom grill drove up while I was there and I told the owner about this board and wrote the web address down for him,Maybe he will show up here. His car also had a US body source Grabber hood on it (he added a Comet GT scoop.) and the car had a 302 with a 4 speed.I took several pics of it and as I said earlier I took a few closeups of his custom grill...it had a few very original Ideas designed into it.

    Frank ...sorry about that we had the wifes cell phone on all week but mine was off.:(

    I second that on the Don Garlits museum. Plan on being there at least a couple of hours too. It's really awesome.
