Re: 65 Comets
It looks like there is plenty of beef there. I'm sure it needed all it could get.

Re: 65 Comets
Well, figured out the brake issue! All new brake parts a few years ago, but it had been setting. The wheel cylinders leaked brake fluid all over the inside of the brakes. What a mess, everything is corroded beyond belief. All new parts will fix the problem, but what a mess to clean up.

Re: 65 Comets
Sounds like stuff that sets too long in south Texas. I feel your pain there.

Not a 1965 Mercury Comet, but a similar 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Hardtop in Australia. |

Re: 65 Comets
Thanks, I'm modifying 66 mustang parts, think it's going to work out good. Currently waiting on one part. Interesting that the 65 Comet was unique in this area, no apparent reason for it.
