    Okay this is my first new thread outside the noobie threads and thank you to all who welcomed/welcomes me:)

    I have a 73 Comet and we ( we as in my Uncle and I ) have gutted the interior and want to do some sort of Street/Strip interior :hmmm: We were thinking of a cage with two buckets and covering up the floors, back seat area, and new dash in nice looking light weight metal :yup:

    All of the work will be done ourselfs and I'm wanting to get some idea's and some photo's if any has any of self made interior work. Also if I ever get around to it since I always seem to forget the camara Ill take photo's of the poor stripped down Comet :D

    Thanks guys!

    I'd be real interested in the performance of your work car. What kinds of mods do they get?

    The way I understand it is it is all stage 2 upgrades with aluminum front ends, Aluminum drive shaft and an upgraded exhaust. I will take a photo under the hood when I get a chance while Im at work. I do know how ever I'm not big on the indevidul coil sitting on top of each of the spark plugs :mad: but it is pretty powerfull :thumbs2:

    I know it is fun to drive at a 110 (I think they are governed at 120 something? ) through the LEDT course (Law Enforcement Drivers Tactics ) in persuit of the chase car (or rabbit) and other fun stuff I learned :dancing:

    I can't find a good video of what we did but this will do... for now

    I would like to note this isn't the same academy I went to and in another State and if we hit a cone we had to get out of the car while the Instructor was yelling at us about how we killed a kid and give the cone CPR :rofl2:You should have seen all the people out giving CPR to cones, Lucky me I never had to give a cone CPR

    Oh and please don't try this at home :p
