History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

Youre going to have to keep me updated,I'm still a couple weeks away.Keep posting the vids.

 

Since you asked nicely, here is one of my exhaust. It sounds pretty good but the pipes are rotten. I've been meaning to replace the system but with the future modifications I have planned I'd just have to do it all over again. I'll live with it the way it is for now.

i like the way your talking

 

Doug Nash's 65 B/FX Comet.PIc from Dan Bell"s collection.

 

Alright time for me to get my ass off the computer and back in the garage finishing that 65.

Lets see those Projects.

 

Roy
Went to the track and I'm changing back to the 4.57 gear 12.39 was the best it would do with the 4.11's. I bought a new "N" case to replace the cracked case and will update to the bigger cam. I did make it to the third round still lookin for that 11 second pass! LOL.
I'm afraid to step up on my clutch I just got it to stop breacking with the set up I have now. The old T5 was shifting good though.

 

Judd;I went to Bakersfield last weekend to the opening race of the ANRA,4 race series.The Comet was on rails!! Ran 10.80-10.83 in 5 passes,1.47 to 60' on all 5 runs.I won round one,good close race,then in round two the air got worse so I dialed a 10.85,ran a 10.803,OOPS!!! Good luck,I feel an eleven second pass is there for you!!!! ROY.

 

Ken;in that video you can here me lift between gears,I was still gun-shy from all the issues I had with the Liberty!! I now am so comfortable with the McLeod and Jerico I plant my right foot and never lift!!! Great group of videos,thanks for posting them! ROY.

Ken;I have been fortunate to see Rick Kirks B/FX,the Purvis B/FX,and a B/FX at last years Dearborne Fairlane meet,I did not get his name.I also have had the chance to hang with Jim Barrillo with Chrisman's 65&67 Cyclones,plus check out two restored 64 A/FX Comets.It is great to get to see these great cars in person and talk with the owners. ROY.

I was bored this afternoon so I Swiss Cheesed my splash apron. I'll post a picture of the finished project tomorrow night.

 

It seems as if I was a little too optimistic with my reassembly forecast. I painted all the stuff that will now be visable through the holes so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to put the splash apron back in.

 

Weight savings? Airflow?Looks cool? or all 3...I've never seen this done before.

 

Awhile back I was asking if anyone knew about a black 64 comet A/FX I had seen racing at Indy in 64 in some various clips.It was painted all black with a red painted roof and red accents in the side arrows.The only think I could make out was that it had wynn engineering on the side.No one seemed to know what I was talking about.In the latest Muscle car review there is a small pic and descripton of the car I was looking for.I should have known it would have been George Delorean,being he had a 65 sponsered by the same Wynn Engineering.
Does anyone have anymore pics or stories of what happened to it.I bet that car looked great in person Black and red with red interior.

 

Wow get a load of those rear tires tucked under there.

 

How cool is this garage/shop.....!

 

A very cool '64 Mercury Comet through the years.....soon to be gettin' a Supercharged/Blown 427 SOHC motor! Can't wait to see it restored!

 

Mostly because I thought it would look cool, the added airflow may be of some benefit here in the Central Valley but I doubt it. I've never seen it on another Comet either. I was in the garage the other day and the idea just popped into my head. It's a big blank area and I figured I'd try something different with it. There are 19 2 1/4 inch holes spaced about 1 1/4 inches apart. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

 

turned out awesome. looks very clean. and a touch i have never seen either.
