Default Re: "lil red" 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente

RKS.PA, folks,
The ice cream trips with lots of 50's music seem to be a good thing for both of us!
We have a car show in our little town this Saturday but the weather is not going to be great. So we may travel to the tractor plow day with the Allis D17 and two bottom Dearborn plows attached? Will try to get some pictures too.
I still feel that the Comet has a slight miss at various times. More checking and tuning required I guess?
Noticed differential leak on right rear wheel. Ordered seals and gaskets from NAPA for that project. Have never pulled an axle on a car before. So that should be fun.
John and I did manage to remove the chrome eyelids on the headlights. I think I like it better with just the full bulb look.




Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
