YT Series now avaialble!

This is what happens when only the top side is "restored"

Above: even with the fender off, it didn't look that bad..

Below: A little wrinkle on the bumper filler

Right side looked clean

But a look underneath reveals all the sins of neglect..

Engine and trans had been leaking for a while!

1963 Comet Caliente - good from afar.....

                           The Comet's a "50-50" -  looks OK from 50 feet and 50 mph ........                                    

                                           Any closer and things start to fall apart - fast. LOL!

Looks like we'll need new quarters - time to start searching!

Again - looks great from afar! And most of the trim is in good shape - it's just the metal underneath....

Even the interior looks OK at first blush....

But wait till you see the "up-close" shots!

OK, so we'll do a partial strip down and see what we're dealing with up close....stay tuned!
