Projects 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone build

Hey Mike I have a Comp Plus on my 4 speed as well. You can easily adapt a CPC T5 stock looking shifter handle to fit the Hurst. I did it http://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4272


Shifts like a Hurst...looks stock! Just another option.

Muncie, it came with factory buckets and console we had redone with original upholstery.

I am having problems with the comp plus shifter on the T10. I have the aluminum spacer on, but the shift arms on the shifter, hit the mounting boss for the reverse gear. The shifter sits so far forward, I don't know how I would pull second or fourth without it hitting the reverse stud and mounting boss on the tail shaft

Mike, I am about to sell my stock 4spd reverse lockout shifter out of my Comet if that Hurst doesn't work out....My T10 is for sale as well.

Thanks Myron, I have the stock shifter that is rebuilt and works. Just trying to get this comp plus one to work.

Got the Hurst Comp Plus shifter installed and hooked up. Took some imagination on levers and rods, but it shifts so much better and drives smoother. It's a nice upgrade for anyone considering it.

It has turned out to be one of the nicest and correct cyclones I have seen. We are really proud of it.

I was there today and got to see Bob's Cyclone out in the sun.It looks and sounds great,still a few minor details to finish but it looks GREAT!!! ROY.

 

Beautiful, looks like it just rolled right off the showroom floor.

 

Just now read through this thread, and a beautiful car it is. Enjoy the ride.

 

Thank you all, just a few final details to finish. An 8" posi traction and some 4.11 gears are in the works for the next two weeks. Maybe we can stand it on the bumper. Haha
