    Hello out there, I am The Dad. The name comes from my son when he was 4 and was looking for me in the house and asked my wife where The Dad was at. Anyway, I have a 72 Mercury Comet Green/white top and am in the process of restoring it. I am looking for a grille for now and some other parts as I need them. Hope that you all have a good and pleasant holiday season.

    The Dad

    :D

    I am from San Antonio, TX. Anyone out there have any good contacts on a grille. If the drive and the price is within reason, I'll pick it up. I've tried Auto Krafters, but no luck. Y'all have a good day. Keep in touch...

    74 Mav to 71 Grabber clone
    I'm brand new here too. I got a 74 Mav that I converted to a 71 Grabber clone, with a mildly hopped up 302 soon to be replaced with my 351W once I figure out how to do it. (That's why I'm here) I have some Comet parts on my car, and don't have much leftovers. I DO have a nice set of tail lights, and the quarter moldings from a 74 Comet if anyone's looking.
