    Steve;trust me,I was NOT trying to put the Comet on the bumper! The clutch guy said,go out and make a pass,it will blow the tires off but we just need to seat the disc!It DID NOT spin the tires!!!I put a McLeod soft-lok clutch and 2.96-1st gear Jerico in the Comet,what a difference!The link to the photos is mikemorganphotography ,look for Irwindale pictures,2-25-2010. ROY.

    65deluxe;I think that may be one of two 64 Comets that are being rebuilt.I saw a thread with two 64s with similar hood scoops.I don't remember if it was on here or cometcentral. ROY.

    Ken;I think those last two qualify as "Street Freaks"!!!!Looks like the blue 65 has become a storage space!Heading out to Famoso in the AM,I'm looking for some mud tires for the Comet! ROY.

    Good luck, Roy! Ernie's green Fairlane's stuck in my shop, almost ready, but it did not make the March Meet cut-off. We think we'll make it up to Vegas, so keep an eye out for another bumper dragger. Man, you guys are a hard act for us greenhorns to follow!!
