Please let me know how the new hood scoops were put on I am in the process of doing a real cyclone 1965 and love the look of the hood scoops. New hood or fiberglass? If new where can I purchase one?. Or just the scoops. I have a nice oriiginal steel hood but no scoops. Crites have an AFX fiberglass hood but really like the looks of yours.

Thanks, this helps get the spark back in my 1965 comet 404. What a beautiful ride you have. Hopefully I’ll get to see it in person someday.

Josh;I’m usually not a G-machine fan as so many are too tacky,proportions are off,but you guys have nailed the look and[hopefully]the performance.Your Comet has turned out BEAUTIFULLY ! Of course I am a bit biased,being a 65 Comet owner more than 42 years! ROY.

Great article Josh & myrideisme. Just for your information Josh, if the “beauty” is ready, you would kick a$$ at Ford Carlisle (Jun 5-7). “Miss Daisy” and I couldn’t handle the competition but we would be there rooting for you!
Congratulations again on being ‘almost’ there!

Awesome – No doubt this car will show up on one of the TV Car shows.
