    Nah, nothing to be ashamed of.. it just takes time. Ive had mine for 10 years now, and this is the 2nd resto.. 1st one was a highschool bodyshop experiment... Ive learned a few things since then.. keep working at it, and you'll have what you want.

    Ive never seen a Mav/Comet at any car shows around here.. most all are just daily drivers. Ill be the first in the area i guess to actually have a show car.

    I was at the Ford car show in Carlisle 2 years ago and there was a nice group of the Mavericks and Comets there. Plus there are a lot of parts for sale. Fords at carlisle is the first weekend in June, it starts on the friday. I am planning on going this year, already registered. I will be looking at new Mustang stuff, not Comet stuff since my old Comet GT is long gone.
