Hello all, I have lurked here long enough and decided to sign up and hopefully contribute in some way. I have been into cars and hotrods since my Dad started taking me to the drag's at 4 or 5 years old. I don't discriminate on make but I especially love the 64 65 Comets. My Dad, son and myself each have a 65 hardtop and we have a lot of fun together with our cars. I also have a 65 Caliente that has a straight axle, FE and toploader in the works. It will be street legal but not street comfortable. I will post pictures when i get that figured out. This site has been invaluable for the knowledge i have gained and many times I have been in the shop and needed an answer and it was always a click of the search ****on away.Thanks to everyone who contributes to this sight and I will try to help out in any way I can. Mark
Welcome from the Coast my strait axle 65 is in my avitar. I have a freind building two 64's one FE 4 speed A/FX clone and one a strait axle small block car.
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Muttley, I have watched your Comet progress over the last year or so and really dig the cheaters and pie crusts. I will try to post a couple pics. Judd, your car was one of the straight axle cars I studied when I was planning mine. Hopefully mine will see some serious strip time as well. This is my 64 wagon. 289 c4 cruises great and is super dependable and here is the 65 my son drives.He is a senior in HS and this is the only one in the parking lot
