    Pictures of 71 Comet gt as of today. It's finally almost done and it will be started by next Tuesday. I know the front sits high but that is because the front is all fiberglass. My mechanic plans on cutting the springs a little bit. The rims are Torgqu thruster replicas made by Verde. We also plan to put a little black pin stripping on the car. I thought of a license plate for the car, COMACAZ. The other two pictures are of my 64 falcon sprint which is almost done as well. In fact they will both be donw at the same time.

    Are you going to lower the rear of the car? If not, maybe a little taller tire will fill the wheel well a bit more, other than that it looks awesome!!! And Nice Falcon!!!

    both cars look really nice!

    i think it definatly needs atleast the front dropped down a little bit

    i woulda have thought there was no engine under the hood as high as shes sitting now


    what were your expierences with the fiberglass pieces? fit and finish wise?

    Nice cars! I agree with Tim, I'd bring the front and rear down.

    Well I will tell you that it takes

    Well I will tell you that it takes patience, time and most of all money. This has been a three year project for both cars. On the falcon I did not spare any expense and I can tell you that it will be one of the nicest ones in the country. The comet has the falcons' 289 in it and the falcon now has a 408 stroker that was earmarked originally for the comet. Those 260 badges are just for show because back in the day we use to do the same thing with 289 and 390 badges while having a 427 motor.

    Lastly, the comet's lowering will be taken care of and will look similiar to the falcon's. Well good luck on your projects. :)

    GREAT looking cars!:thumbs2: I have always loved those Falcons. They just look mean, but it sounds like yours will be backing it up.

    That Falcon is BAD [FONT=arial, verdana, helvetica](_!_). I really like it's stance :thumbs2:. I like the Comet too but I agree on it being lowered all the way around too. Just my :2cents:.
