My Comet had a hole already cut in the hood when I got it. It allowed me to use a carb spacer and air filter that slightly slicks out of the hood...
I bought vinyl from a local shop and used it on the hoods of my Mustang and Comet. Here's a pic of it on the Mercury.
I think I've seen only one other picture of the Maverick Boss car and it appeared dark green. Looking at the glimpse we get of it in the article...
I have to disagree on the "poor man's Mustang" because nowadays it seems 'different is cool'. Classic Mustangs will always be sought after but I...
I may be interested as well. The engine I built for our Maverick already sticks thru the hood a bit so that's not a problem.
I can think of a number of reasons that Mavericks/Comets may be seeing a rise in value. Not the least of which being musclecar looks (Grabbers...
Pulled the winter car cover off today. Added some better LED headlights before the slumber. These seem to blend well with the car compared to some...
Har har, I have more projects than time. In the meantime, I'm not complaining, given some of the roads we have around here.
Yeah, too bad both platforms couldn't share the performance limelight.
I recently swapped the trunk lid and spoiler pieces from a grabber and added them to my Comet. Took me a while to find but it sure looks good!...
Nice, and running 10s with a pushrod 302 that's using cast iron heads! My kinda build
What a cool car and awesome/rare package!
I would like to have seen what a Boss version Maverick or an Eliminator Comet would have looked like from Ford. Early Grabbers had great looks...
Yep, probably was very nice before the fire. Hopefully the engine, transmission and rear can be saved. Some pieces didn't seem too awfully bad.
I believe companies make an offset air cleaner base that might help you.
I believe it, I think even some basic smoothing in the bowls/ports to address hard ridges, casting flash, and bumps can result in good improvements.
Thanks for the compliment :) I had actually thought about doing more around the valve bosses, especially the exhaust, however, I decided to leave...
Cool car! What wheels do you have? ... they are very similar to my old centerlines Also, I like how the air cleaner seals to the hood. Did you...
I wouldn't disagree, if they were the earlier '69-'70 351W heads (with the larger factory valves and ports), which I actually have a set of, but...
Wonder whatever happened with this build; ever meet his goal?
