Let the light shine

  1. Perfect light weight hot rod material. Slap a grand vick front end in it, independent rear axle, nice Richmond 6 speed, keep it simple and old school for total reliability with a well built aluminum block/heads 289 or a stock long block 302 Mustang engine, HEI ignition, Webber cross flow intake, hand built stainless tuned headers and exhaust, Winston cup brazed aluminum race radiator, first rate Wilwood 6 piston vented discs all around, some frame stiffening with a 6 point roll cage so it handles like its on rails, couple decent front seats and a sound system. A dependable set of wheels you can have till you die.

  2. Brings back memories of my parents '62 Comet. I came home on leave from the Navy back in '68 and had used it for a trip (to a drinking establishment of course). It was winter and icy and got safely to our street, but then managed to lose it going through the gears about 2 blocks from home and hit a tree, totaling it. Cop was nice enough to give me a ride home and didn't cite me. Parents were not happy, although they moved up to a '68 Riviera (which I never got to drive!). Went back to the base a day or two later. I had managed to wipe the memory from my mind until today, after seeing the pic above.
