History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

Thumbs up from Diane

 

Ken;I was thin then,they would probably fit you!!!! I've got the white socks that go with them!!!! Great to see Diane smiling,the last few times I had seen pictures she looked so down[understandably]!! ROY.

 

Ken, Looks great!! Two thumbs up!!

Roy, I think Eddie was asking Diane for a Super Shifter Update that's why she's smiling!!

 

that is just one beautiful car and with the new painted hood it looks right at home. love it either way

 

Ken, wow your 64 looks great and what is the weight of the car now?
Roger

 

Hey Ken, looks Bitchin'....

Nice Job!!!

 

New paint scheme looks great Ken. Hope to see it at York this year.

 

Very Nice, Ken. I like!
Eric

 

Wow the hood really completes the look.

 

This was on ebay a couple years ago. Very nice.

 

Missed seeing that 65,would have liked more info,very smooth looking! Interesting brace,looks welded in,how do you work on the engine?! ROY.

 

Trailers loaded for a day on the quarter mile tomorrow, to break in the Rocket on the quarter mile, before the March Meet. I'm going to try to tape the video camera to the dash and see if I can get a pass or two on tape. I love watching the ones you guys have made, so I'm going to have a whack at it! I hope the track out in Fontana does not have hairball crosswinds like in the past!!

 

Dale;NEVER lift,unless you see ELVIS!!!!! Did you do anything about your fuel lines?Depending on which techy you get it could be an issue!!!Turned out my batteries are done,damned things only lasted 12 years!!!!I'm glad it happened as we were loading up to go to dinner!!! Kick ass tomorrow,lets hope you get a tail wind!!!! ROY.

 

Ken;I just spied one of your speed secrets,the TERRIBLE towel on the air cleaner!!! I liked the old hood design but the new one looks great,more along the original cars design!! ROY.

 

DANG! 148 pages? You guys need your own social group or forum

 

low budget;it is all mercuryjunkies fault,he keeps posting old pictures and getting us Comet freaks fired up!! ROY.

 

Probably just jealous that he never had a Comet.

 

Have you seen all the history in this thread?

 

Okay. However, if we catch you wearing orange and white shoes, then we're going to have to do an intervention.

 

Not bad. Not bad at all. However, I prefer to find a '64.

1 day 8 hours to go.

 

Awesome.

 

Okay. You guys are the experts. This one seems priced a bit too high.

What do you think? I like the fact that it's a 4-speed.
