Hi all. Front end could probably use some attention (60 Comet), so I was thinking of replacing the tie rod ends, centerlink, and idler arm. Before I start buying parts, is there anything you...

Any advice on finding a rear window (rear windshield) for a 1960 Comet two door sedan? Thanks.

Off topic from the original purpose of this thread, but I was at Hot August Nights too this year. It was excellent, and I'm already planning to save up so I can do it again in a few years. I drove...

Well, I got a chance to remove the bottom inspection shield off of the transmission and removed the starter today. Starter looks to be just fine. Found where the area around one bolt around the...

Hi all. I'm experiencing a new problem with my 60 Comet, and thought I'd try running it by all of you to see if it sounds like something you've encountered before. Yesterday, at freeway speeds, I...

I put in the Ignitor I in my 1960 144ci, and am still running a stock coil. It made a huge difference in power, and was super simple to install.

Sounds like a great project. Get some pictures posted when you get a chance.

Wow, for a guy who is concerned that he will be "gruff" in posting, you sure must be a good natured person to take this latest development in stride! I guess when things get bad like this you are...

...to still be a lot of fun. Ours is buried under snow too!

Shelby stripes is a great idea! The Comet could sure use some paint, but unfortunately it's (I'm) going to have to be patient on that task.

Hi guys and gals. I was happy to find this forum back when I bought my Comet (my daughter drives it, so it seems to be really only my car in title only), and am so glad to have already received...

Hey, I just got an e-mail from Dearborn Classics with a $10 off coupon for entry into the car show at Woodburn Dragstrip on Sunday. Thought I'd pass it along:

For the short brake lines needed for the conversion, I got this kit from CJ Pony Parts, which is actually designed to convert a 65-66 Mustang. I had to rebend the lines some, but otherwise they fit...

That's a well-done article. I really appreciated all the assistance and advice I got from this site when I tackled this job. It was not too hard, and not too expensive, and is much safer now.

I would guess something like a 1966 aussie Falcon. That'd make a classy rig for a rural mail carrier over here with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side!

I got my after-market seat belts recently from these guys (seat belt pros dot com)

I am pleased with the belts so far, and the price seemed in line with every...

I added 3 point retractables to the front and just lap belts to the back of my 60 Comet. There was no sign that the car was ever designed to have any sort of seatbelts, even as an option, but it...

Exactly as Redfalken said it wasn't all that hard, and satisfying. I actually think my favorite part was when it came to to bleed the lines, I had my daughter out there pushing the brake pedal for...

I put in my dual resevoir master cylinder yesterday, and also switched over to the brake light switch under the dash, and everything seems to be working great. Thanks a bunch to ya'll for your help...

That is a beautiful car. I hope to be at the Saturday Regionals at Brooks with the Comet, and then at Woodburn with the Cougar and the Comet for the all-Ford event.

The venue is excellent. It's right off the freeway (I-5) and easy to access. The trees are fairly small, so on a hot day there would not be much shade.

Yesterday (Sunday) 6/1/08 there was a high school car show at the same site that the 18th annual Falcon/Comet Pacific Regional will be held. My daughter wanted to attend with the Comet (which made me...

Counting to ten, taking a deep breath, and just walking away shaking my head in dismay. Whatsamatter, can't find a Nova?

Just thought I'd share a little success story - I installed the pertronix this past weekend, and today was the first time I had a chance to really get it out on the open road. I can't believe the...

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
