    Yeah, let's see it. I am curious what it looks like now.

    If you send me the VIN and door data tag info, I will gladly add it
    to the '71-'75 Comet GT Registry.

    Will post pics got to figure out how. I have digital camera but never posted pictures. Right now is missing parts getting chromed, interior being done, etc. Paid to much but had to have it. I've had 3 over the years and just like that everybody doesn't have one. I have an 03 cobra and no one says nothing. Drive the comet to get gas people always coming up and saying I havent seen one of those in years.

    Hmmm...

    The interior looked nice in the pics. What else are you doing to it? I thought that it was a very nice color combo. I would be curious what 'too much' is if you are redoing the interior and rechroming bumpers.

    the interior was ok but want little bit of custom. going with black inserts with comet gt logo in back of seat and door panel. Also the bumpers were ok but needed chromed to me. Trying to make everything new. There was no rust but a little in the qtrs, no big deal. Getting lots of factory pieces in the engine bay chromed should be done before christmas. Put complete new front end in and added power steering, if you remember I was the one that ask about steering wheel not returning to center when I turned. Maybe remove power steering dont know yet. Also added the CSPS disc brake kit to front end went on great. Any way I'll quit babling. I have ask for info on site and always got great responce, I thank you guys for that. By the way I paid 12000.00 for car. Dont know for sure if 28000 miles is correct. I do know that the dealer that recived car in 1972 was the same city the spent it's whole life in. Cant wait till spring to hit the cruise in's around columbus. see ya

    You;re gonna customize up a nice white interior and white door panels? You should save or sell the original seats and door panels and reupholster a beat up set ......

    That's cool ... but some folks would kill for an original white interior ... Especially the door panels .... If you are gonna reupholster the door panels ... I would sell or keep the white ones and reupholster a different set.
