    These are in decent shape too, I think all they would really need is new foam.

    Put in a new 200 amp alternator, and took some time to redo some of the wiring. Now to figure out why the AC system is short cycling at highway speeds :dead:

    Installed an aluminum grille on my comet produced by Charlie Yan, he also has a version that eliminates the turn signals but I prefer them, overall fit is pretty good with some minor adjustments needed. Charlie can be contacted at charlieyan@yahoo.com if interested

    I agree with you, the Comet looks much better with the lights in the grill.

    Not bad. I sold a factory one that was almost perfect for $350. It had amber lights.
