ewetwo Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 My Latest build. 1964 Comet. I actually owned this exact car when I was young. Wish I had it back. The side trim gave me one heck of a time. Still isn't perfect but I stripped and repainted this model 6 times. It's done. 1 Quote
cobraman Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Looks nice. You know what they say The sixth times the charm ! Quote
Sledsel Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Very nice... Hope they release this one and I hope they do this like the Chevy II wagon... Curbside and an updated full detail. Hmmm.... off to write Round2 an email Edited January 24, 2022 by Sledsel Quote
happy grumpy Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Great build of a car we don't see often. I like the contrasting red interior. Quote
ewetwo Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 Thank you Ray, Andy and Mario. I have 2 more of these kits in case I want to give it another go. But in another color so I can see the trim lines a bit better. . ? Quote
espo Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Beautiful looking black paint job. I like the stock appearance. Quote

bisc63 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Pretty car; black with a red office is SO classic and beautiful. Quote
ewetwo Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 Thank you Rusty. I was 16 years old and working at a service station part time after school. A man in his late 60's would go by with the Comet. I found it funny that he had a thrust muffler on it being it had the 200 cu in 6 in it. Back end rode really low. One day he went by and it had a for sale sign in the rear window. My step grandmother loaned me the $800 to buy it. First thing went the muffler. It sounded horrible. And the second thing was having new leaf springs installed in the rear which lifted the back end a lot. I had it about a year and moved onto something else. Sold it to a friend of my older brother who totaled it doing 100 MPH. There were no seat belts and he had little injuries which is amazing. Always wish I kept it. Quote
bisc63 Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 We all have plenty of those "one-that-got-away" stories, don't we?! For me there are 4 stand-outs: my 64 Falcon, 56 Chevy 2 door sedan, '68 Chevelle SS396, and '66 Impala SS. Memories... Quote
