    Looks good! I would get rid of the hubcaps though... :D

    How long before we get to see the inside?

    been awhile since ive been able to do any work on the comet. was putting new brakes and master cycl. and wheel cylinders on today and ran across an interesting problem. have any of you had this happen.?
    i ordered wheel cylinders for a 72 comet which is what this is. well got them home and they would not fit. ill try and show pics as to why.
    after some research at all the parts houses here i found wheels cylinders for a 70 maverick would work.but not for a 72 comet. but at least found the 70's to work .

    not sure if ya can see but the front wheel cylinders on car have a half moon mounting surface. the ones i bought first that were supposed to be for a 72 had a full moon mounting surface. after i did some checking i found thet 70 maverick cylinders had the half moon and correct bolt pattern. just in case some one else ran into this they would know what to do.
