    Sure, just have to ask the owner if he minds me sharing his personal info. The Comets belong to one guy, the mavericks and all the parts belong to his brother in law.

    No. It'll be identical but most of the stuff I can get through family company for several hundred cheaper.

    drove it to my buddies house and on the way home I couldnt resist opening it up I saw atleast 140 mph on the freeway the speedo was starting to bounce upside down in the middle of the odometer :drive::party3::woohoo1:
    I couldnt have been more happy with the way it handled it drove better at 100+ than it does at 65 lol

    Got more tore apart. Vent and old fuel lines are out, same with the tank and straps. HVAC system and radio and wiper system. Plus finally got the battery tray out... after 20 minutes with an angle grinder. Steering wheel go changed and the front bench seat is out.

    Next on the list is to source 5 lug discs all around... I figure if im putting work into going fast I should put work into stopping fast too.

    God itll be a miracle if I get this thing going by this summer.
