    Glad I brought it up so we can get more pic's of restored Comets around here. Maybe eventually get the name switched over to cometmaverickforums too. :stirthepot:

    Here's a few quick phone pic's of the finished lenses with trim reinstalled.

    Hopefully these show up a little larger than those others.

    Entire tail panel is red now too. And you guys were right. That's A LOT of red! lol

    Ask Rusty to do those for you mojo, he's already restoring everything else, why not do taillights too! lol

    Thought maybe you guys might want to see how things are coming along. Tail-panel ain't quite done yet and the white stripes will break up all the red too. More to come.

    And be sure to check out the "faux chrome" wheels. That's stainless steel tape on those spokes. Just a quick mock up and figured they needed sandblasting anyways so what's one more coat of paint to strip off when the time comes.
