    Alright i have finshed one project now im on to this one... the 4 door... i have always had this car and its been ready for painting for a long while but i just cant get pass the 4 door thing, meaning i cant look at it and say this car would look good painted...i must admit when i first saw the car at a glance i thought it was a mustang from the back (yea i know i said mustang talk but i'm a ford man.) so what im asking have anybody seen a nice 4 door comet that looks good on the outside as far a paint and do u have any pictures..... also the comet i have is a 76......

    I see you are looking for comet pics but there are few 4 doors built up around that i know of. Here are a few pics of my 4 door Maverick. Anything done to these mavs can be duplicated in a comet. Most people on here already know this car and some say it is one of the best looking 4 doors around. I am biased but I agree. It had a 306 (375hp) v8, a custom built c-4 w/ 3000 stall converter, all polygraphite fittings in the front end and a full neon accessory light show for the cruises. Unfortunately It had a tragic ending. I will one day build another 4 door. I prefer the 4 door to the 2 door even tho it isn't the most popular. If you are building for yourself then go for it. If you are building to get resale value, then a 4 door is not a good choice. Build it because you want to and to have something different. At most car shows mine would be the only mav and definately the only 4 door one. It got as much attention as any 2 door. If you have any questions I would be happy to help. Just send me a PM.(y)

    If you want a hot 4 door (which is my current project) then take a look at J Millers pictures, thats about the meanest 4 door I've seen. IMO a 4 door needs bigger tires out back or raised leafs to give them that drag car stance. dark colors or 2 tone paint jobs pop out as well, and a bumper tuck or small bumpers are necessary to keep them from looking too stout. And don't be afraid of chrome trim/accents.

    Thats just my 2 cents on making a 4 door looking better, because I've browsed around and compared many idea's.

    good luck

    Man, that's THE best 4dr I've ever seen! Smooth and clean. By the tag I guess it's a Brazilian car...
