I looked at a Comet last night. Its going to need some patch panels. Any good suppliers, so I can find some prices and availibility. Don't want to buy if I can't find parts.

I've used Mac's for several items and have been satisfied. They do business pretty well.

Daryle, We were glad that you came. I'm having a little trouble getting the mold off the money. The price is a little high for the shape the car is in, although all the parts can be bought. I found some on line that were in alot better shape.( a pro streeter) So I will still be looking for a project.

Which one? The over prised one or the "Pro-Streeter"? GPster

The over priced one. Talked him down a little and he delivered it. I'm still happy so the price must of be ok.

I've been looking for parts that a available and found a MII kit: http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/assets/pdf/60-65_Ford_Falcon_Coil_Spring_IFS.pdf
They have a rear end kit also: http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/assets/pdf/60-65_Ford_Falcon_Rear_4-link.pdf
I haven't found any Comet patch panels yet. May need to use part of the Falcon's. May put a SBC in it as the kit needs a rear sump pan on the motor .
