Hello, I am Dana Miller from Stockbridge Ga. I have been tinkering with a 1974 Comet that has been in my family since it was new. I am excited that I found this forum. I have been looking around for ages to find out more information and help me get my car back together. I have attached some pics for you all to see!
Hello Dana and from Northeast Pennsylvania - if you've been looking for ages for info on getting your car restored, you've come to the right place. :Handshake Your Comet looks like a solid starting point - might need a hood if the rust doesn't come off. Your Explorer looks like a twin to my own - 2001 model?
Dana, I've used these 3M velcro backed paint remover pads to strip every inch of paint from my car if you want to give it a try. It might cost you 20 bucks the first time but you're buying an arbor and a disc together. Then each single disc costs around 10 bucks. You can see from the photos how it works.
to the board.... Nice to see that the Comet has been kept in the family. I see you have a Comet GT grill. I'm sure you can find a GT hood scoop...
Welcome Dana from Douglasville, Ga., also the Ford Show and Shine is going to be at Summit in McDonough near you July 24th and last year I think we had like 13 Mavericks and Comets there, even if you dont bring the car come and meet everyone and you can get a ton of advise from the guys there. They have extreme amount of knowledge on these cars.
