Default Re: "lil red" 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente

ms fowler,
I found one small rust area in the inside rear fender well, probably caused by the drain in that are being plugged with years of dirt. That area had been repaired with filler. So yes this car had some very good previous owners. The paint job is adequate to be a great driver car. I dont plan on painting it again as that could cost as much as the car!

BW,
Thanks, looking forward to some good weather to get the comet out and stretch its legs.

Dick,
A lot of parts are shared with Falcon and Mustang so parts seem to be available. Sure helps to have a warm shop with a lift to work in. Yes we are having fun. Still some moves to clean up some details. Always something to do.

Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
