Hi all, as some of you may remember I inherited an old 1965 mercury comet a few years ago and have been slowly working on it to improve it and restore it to original condition in the end.

I created a web-site with pictures and more information about the car:

Anyone know where to find more information about rebuilding the 289 engine and c4 transmission?
