    Finished the brakes on it today and put some disc brakes up front... NEW EVERYTHING. brakes are one thing that I dont go lightly on ;) it's one thing to go fast but it's a whole new ball game when it comes to stopping...

    and just so everyone knows, the GT wasnt all that great but kinda rare. here's some specs on it:
    1972 Comet GT
    factory 302
    Auto with column shift
    A/C
    P/S
    Vinyl top car (long gone, thankfully)
    factory Bright Red exterior
    factory black and white bench seat interior (weird combo)
    Built 7/72 and last six of the VIN is something like 26****
