!964 Merc Comet Project

Interesting...now that its on the car, it doesnt look so good. I think I have mixed feelings on it, doesnt flow as good as i thought it would. It looked like it was a natural fit on the Falcon. Thanks for the addition. I think it looked better in my head...I am going to have to think about that one. I may form something in the bumber like you suggested or leave it bone stock and shave a few things.

It could be that my rendering just doesn't do it justice. I certainly
didn't get the color quite right, and it doesn't have any shine at all.
You might just look at some pics of Falcons with the same valence if
you can find some and see how you feel about those.

The newer mustang wheels (bullit?) that look like the old torque thrust "D"'s would look good on that car. Can anyone photoshop those on his car?

[DarkBuddha]

Cake... oh, and I tried painting the bumper to get that "stock car" vintage trans am look.
Whatcha think?

Those Torque thrusts look better than i thought too. What about the Vintage Shelby Cobra rims like are are the Eleanor Mustang...can you pop those on?

[DarkBuddha]

Here ya go... these wheels always strike me one of 2 ways... either race badass, or just too visually busy. Strangely, I can't decided in this case. Whatcha think?

I finally got around to doing the Saltflat wheels. I kinda like it a lot.



Oh, and if you'll let me know who makes those other wheels I might be able to 'chop those as well.

Sorry the car is on my rotisserie right now. Just remove your wheels and measure everything,I found mine just like I said in my last post. Just took some time online (mostly ebay tons of wheels there)till I found what I liked.

That looks hot! A lot!

Darkbuddha: If your still around, any chance you can chop these rims on the Comet. Just bought these to hold me over until I can get the ones i want. I have no clue what they will look like, but the deal was right for now. Thanks!

I'm still around, but rather intermittently as of late... just too busy to do too many photochops lately. That said, since I've already done all the hard work on yours, I should be able to do the wheels fairly quickly. I give it a go tonight.

Thanks! Havent seen you in for a while. Hope all is well. I hate settling, but to get the car on the road I am going to have to. Cant get my real setup until early next year.

Here ya go... I think they look darn nice personally...
