The Comet experience

There is almost a feeling of a new member in the family when you get a new car. And that is not an exception for the 1963 Mercury Comet. We just got this beauty on July 2. If you are wondering what size hole this made in my wallet, it was only $5,001.oo. Pretty good for a car that has had 6 grand put in it. Of corse their are some issues with it, chrome needs to be re-chromed, the speedometer does not work, their is a scratch on the hood were the thunderbolt style hood scoop was added, it needs a new linkage for the shifter, and the oil pan gasket. Well the cars 46 years old, I hope to look that good when I'm 46. I will keep a log on my progress on my hamb account. I will put some pics up soon.
