  5. Wow. Great save and excellent color choices.
    Always liked those more than the Nomads, and the prices of those are skyrocketing.
    It makes me sick that cars, like your before pictures, are going to the crusher at an alarming rate in my area.
    I was watching a 60 Comet for 2 days then I went back to an empty trailer.
    Went up to the house and the guy told me the scrapper picked it up for $125.
    I told him I would have paid him 2-3 times that much and hauled the car away too.
    He said the scrapper came by and offered him $625 for 5 cars, in his field, and he took it.
    Seemed like a good deal he said to get rid of the junk.
    The Comet was the last one and the other 4 were older 50's cars.

    Embarrassingly, I've only got one spear on right now!
    I spent too much time working on the inside lately, putting in the carpet, door panels, seat belts, and a new speedo cable!

    She hasn't changed externally much since Paso Maria, over a month ago:
