    Great job Dennis! I agree, looks much better than stock. :thumbs2:
    I hope to see it next year, too. I do plan on MCCI RU in Dayton - w/ my car this time...

    Well after 9 years and 8 months I finally got around to putting some paint on this thing.

    Looks good, now the real work begins, not that getting it to this point was easy but as you know just because it has paint on it doesnt mean it is done. Cutting and buffing takes just as much if not more time

    Beautiful dark shade of blue! But why am I looking at a Comet with the trunk floor of a 1970 Maverick?

    Actually its the floor of a 70 Mustang. Go back to page 12 of this thread for all the details.

    Nice.. I still really dig that custom rear spoiler. Was even starting to wonder if I'd ever see it again. :p

    Life seems so full of things to do with so little time to get it all done and I say.. better late than never! :tiphat:

    Here is a little better picture of the metallics in this color. Its really hard to get a picture that looks like what my eye sees, but this is close.

    It looks like the "metallic" laid out real nice.

    In the one photo it looks like the dog is checking his own reflection in the paint. LOL
