    Hey everyone. Haven't been here for a long time. Finished the Comet last summer...still have a few things to do though. Rebuilt motor 30 over, flat top pistons, cam, 600cfm edelbrock, ProComp HEI distributor, shift kit, 3.80 gears...ect..ect. Turns a lot of heads. Had trouble sizing pics so don't know how they will show up here.
    Later,

    Thanks Jean....did everything myself except the actual rebuild...sent the motor out for that...but I tried my hand at painting. Looks good from a distance, but I made some mistakes...just wanted to try it on my own. See you at Carlise next year?

    Calling a hot rod "done" sure is a bold statement :D Nice ride pal.
