Just wanted to align with the stated rules! I expect to just continue to sit back, enjoy and learn, with little posting unless I think I have something to add. If that thinking is incorrect, I am sure it will be noted, and I hope to not be too upset over it. I was of the opinion I didn't fit the traditional rodder profile, since my current projects are '60 or newer. I have noted that there seems to be more information and discussion of the cars that interest me, and that by no means excludes the traditional rods, here than most forums dedicated to the muscle car years. I have a total of 17 vehicles currently, with plans for all of them; most are, or may, actually become usable again; some realistically may not. The 60's list currently includes a '61 "slick" unibody F100, a '64 Comet Cyclone and a '69 Torino GT, as well as a '61 Corvair Loadside and a '62 Rampside. All are reminiscent of my original vehicle interests of the early 60's, which included ownership of a '48 Ford F-2, a '58 Ford Custom, a '61 Comet , a '61 Ford Fairlane, a '63 Ford Custom 300, a '64 Falcon Futura convertible, several '64 1/2 Mustangs, and literally bunches of other semi-junk craft of the era, and not a four-door in the bunch. My preference for two doors has remained, with the exception of the occasional old Mercedes, and, my current almost- four door extended cab tow vehicle. I also own several mid-eighties SVO's, as well as a parcel of later vehicles. Basically, if it's an orphan, especially from FoMoCo, I have an interest in it. That's it for now; all you HAMB'ers, thanks for the wealth of information and entertainment! Paul
I never though I'd say this but you just might have "TwoManyToyz" I guess in Texas you do everything BIG. Seriously a '64 Comet Cyclone? I love those, post pic's when you can. Thanks, and welcome to the HAMB.
You don't know the half of it! When the news announced that there might be 13 Zodiac signs, I was sure there was going to be a "Gemini to the tenth power". The Comet looks very similar to Total Performance's. It is Arctic White with black (non-original) interior. It was originally "fawn", according to the warranty plate. While by no means my favorite color, I may bring the exterior back to original since I am sure that is a rather rare color, and I am too lazy to do an accurate color change. I have pics of my vehicles mostly on my phones, but will get them posted as time goes on. Thanks for the welcome, Paul
