    Now for the fun part of tearing apart the comet and improving its looks with a Maverick front end. Im sure the Comet guys will love this. We always said a Comet is a parts car, but this time the maverick is a parts car for the Comet :huh:

    Bryant I am glad you found a replacement car. I loved the way your black car looked when I was out there. Good luck on the new build.
