Got mine a few days ago. Glad you posted the pic, I was thinking of doing this too and wondered how it would turn out.
Glad you are doing OK. I missed this on the first go round. Definitely something to keep in the back of your mind. Thanks for sharing this with us.
That car does look nice, I agree. But, I don't think it's all about being negative. Certain body styles are sacred to some and they are some going...
I agree. The 59 Chevy is my favorite car. The toning down of it in 60 was a mistake. I've been hoping to find an affordable one of these forever....
I think the straight 8 would be neat and would definitely have a truely different sound. Maybe supercharged?? Sound something like this. If I...
That's exactly what I did with the Comets I have. Can't tell you how many people have asked, "What kind of car is that? I've never seen one...
Me too. I put down the alcohol almost 11 years ago, when I got married, and haven't touched it since. I took a hard look around me at all my...
Sounds like it to me. I used to be the same way about 10 years ago. The love of old cars is like herpes, once you get it you're stuck with it...
Don't take up golf. For me the fun is in the hunt. Finding a rare part in a boneyard, swap meet, yard sale or even on ebay is a victory. Sort of...
Remember how much it went for? Just curious.
Dont have any pics, but I covered the package trays on both of my Comets in vinyl. They look very nice. When I did the door panels on the 60 I...
Should change it anyway to "hemiflats".:D
We know where you're finding this stuff. Better question is where are you putting all this cool shit? Must have a huge shed or a big barn at...

Kudos to you for offering up that deal and saving another old car from the crusher. Made me sick when I went to the local fire school, for work,...
Definitely different. I think I like it.
I agree. At a quick first glnce I thought it was a Volkswagen (sorry). Stick with the 32 grille, it looks a whole lot better. Same thing I like...
Thanks for bringing these back. I missed them first time around and was pissed. Usually when the initial run of HAMB stuff is gone it's gone. Glad...
Bigger one's look a little traditional and fit better with the overall theme of the car. Smaller ones look like something better put on a billet...
I bought some headlight cleaner/polish on ebay once for some clouded plastic headlights on my wifes car. It was a 3 step process and worked...
Love for me is cruising around with the wife and kids on a beautiful day. Hate is standing on the side of a country road, in the dark at 4:30 in...
He is correct. Before this transmission they used 3 speeds. Here is a better pic. Manufactured in England. It was used with the 170 and 200...
Tell us a little about youself here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18 That is the Introduction section for new...
Here in Maryland I'm running a pair of 60 plates on my 60 Comet and a pair of 62 plates on the 62. First you have to find a matched set of...
Did she have a flat head???:D
Nice score. What was the car in the back of the garage??
This guy doesn't have a lot of Texas plates, but he's got a good variety and they are all for sale. They are all matched pairs....
I hear ya. I'm running MD 60 plates on the 60 and MD 62 plates on the 62. Hardest part was finding a matched set in good condition. Even though...
I was born on Friday the 13th also. 13 has always been a lucky number for me.
