Congrats, John!
I thought we had wide open spaces in Texas!
One of these days, I'm going to have to pick your brain on getting the power to the pavement on the Comet!

Hi Paul,
we have plenty of long flat roads in some areas over here, this area in the pics is flat for about 200 miles, good for the truck with no hills
nothing special about the comet suspension wise, all stock, with home made caltracs

Got that, thank you! Is the hood hinged or lift-off?
Thanks again,
Paul

it has the original hinges

Sounds good; I have the lighter factory springs. I may try the hinges rather than pinning it. Thanks.

Top effort mate!
