    1973 Comet
    Greetings all!

    My name is Anne and I have just agreed to purchase a 1973 Mercury Comet. I get to pick it up on Saturday morning - Woo Hoo! I've always enjoyed older cars but I've never had the time or the energy to work on them. This will be my first *ever* project car - and probably my only one. My kids are finally old enough that I feel comfortable taking this on. I will ask a lot of questions and I do not fix cars (yet). I am however looking forward to this.

    I'll post pics Saturday afternoon - after I go to the car show at Chantilly Farms in Floyd VA (http://www.chantillyfarm.com/floyd-auto-fair)
