    :smash:

    Well I just bought a 1972 4 door Comet and have just begun to rebuild and customize it. I just want to get done so that I can airbrush the whole car, but the process is slow and painstaking. All the bodywork ( including suicide doors on the rear) shouldn't be to hard, but find parts to work the 250 six in her is getting to be a pain in the..... you know. Any body with any advice, other than drop an eight in her would be greatly appreciated ( a 351 turbo may be in her future but we don't want to get her hopes up. Thanks and hello everyone!
