    without Comet now just keeping in touch
    Well I won't say it this the first time getting the Comet :comet: out, but.. i did .. fnally, get a new muffler put on the Comet this weekend:yahoo: , I can finally drive it :drive: and not smell like exaust :cry: when I get out of it. Holes in the old muffler allowed exaust to creep into the car, when the windows were open, due to the rust in the lower corners of my1/4's , I have made a lot of progress.. (comparing to the first 7 1/2 years of ownership).. in the the last year and 1/2. New Carb, New Dist, new starter, flexplate, Ignition switch, Alternator, voltage reg, Battery, Stereo, :thumbs2: I just went cruising Sat night:dancing: , just driving aimlessly.. No worries about , breaking down, not starting, getting gassed..

    Next stop patch panels, quarters, one spot in the floor by the dimmer switch, and one spot on the trunk floor. then I will turn to the roof, get it repainted to halt further rust. then I will start making it look good again!

    Ah Spring, a time of rebirth, nature comes to life, Old Hot Rods get one step better , Dreams take another step forward!! :victory:
