I'm building a 64 Comet A/FX Clone and need to lift my car. Just like they did in the 60's. approx 3-4 inches of lift. On the front suspension they use to make a spacer that went between the Upper Control Arm and the Ball Joint. This allowed you to use taller coil springs, yet keep the front end alignment streetable. Does anyone have any idea where I can get these components that will help me lift my front end? The rear suspension will be simple. Taller Shackles, Coil over shocks and I located an original A/FX Ladder Bar Kit. Keeping the leaf springs, just like the original A/FX Cars did. Also, anyone know where I can locate parts for the A/FX style air induction system. They removed the two inner head lights and ran air ducts from the headlight brackets to the air intake. Any help / guidence would be greatly appreciated. Gary Becker / gbecker1@kc.rr.com / Kansas City
You'll mostly find info for the 69.5-77 Comets/Mavericks on this board, but maybe one of the older guys can help you out. Good luck!

My 77 Comet's frame(where rear leaf shackle mounts) is completely rusted out and about to bust! Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Do they Offer a ladder bar system? Please send me some advice..mavrick79th@yahoo.com
