    We went to a salvage yard we just found out about. they had one comet and one maverick. Got the LDO bucket seats out of the 75 comet for Mike's maverick. Not a rip on them! They do have some staining from years of dirt sitting on them but we will dye them black. Only $50 for the pair and they removed them!
    The front bumper on the comet is in good condition the valance is kind of crappy though. The rear bumper on the 76 maverick is fairly good too. No rear bumper on the comet and no front bumper on the maverick. They want $60 each for the bumpers if anyone is interested. The maverick had power brakes and the booster is still there but looks rusty. The axels are gone. All the windows in the comet are good but the windows in the maverick are busted out. If someone wants to call about the bumpers or anything else it is Elliot & Sons in West Terre Haute, IN. I can get the phone number for anyone interested.

    The comet was in decent shape. We took the front bucket seats. All the glass and chrome and Extrerior trim in good shape. Dash was cracked. The whole car looked complete Hood lip pretty rotted. Straight six still in car and looked pretty good. Didn't notice too much about interior because I was too excited about the seats kind of lost focus. The maverick was in really bad shape. The windows were busted out and interior a total loss.
