Just had to share some pictures of my almost completed 64 Cyclone. Took a break from the Shelbys for the past two years to do something different and now I can not stop staring at it. I know there are a few members on this site that have early Comets so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do !!!!!!!!!!!!! Dominic
That is beautiful! I can't stop staring at it either. As you can see from my signature I have a thing for the early Cyclones. I have an AFX hood on my 65 but the 64 is all stock. Can you share some details of the car?
It is a original CA car that spent the last 25 years in Arizona 15 of them in my brother-in laws back yard. It was rust free. I shaved the shock towers to get the 351W in there. Custom headers from Crites, relocated rear springs (mini Tub) to the other side of frame rail, Custom Currie narrowed Ford 9" with Explorer disk brakes. Front got Granada disk brake set up. The 351 is worked with a lot of goddies but not overly done just under 500 h.p. but moves this car very well and is very streetable running stock toploader 4spd out of a '71 Boss. The car was loaded it had power brakes, power steering and ac. I had to loose the power steering with the long tube headers. The ac I would like to get back on at some point. As you know parts for these cars are very hard to find especially here on the east coast. Dominic
Dominic, Nice car - One day I have to get over there with KB to see the place, maybe after my 5 is done I get snag an invite to the "picnic". I missed you guys @ Carlisle this year. If you talk to Dan K, tell him I am still waiting on a call! Mike
I will see him at Fall Carlisle I know he is still looking for parts for your 65 and so am I. You will have to stop by some time you will not be disapointed. Dominic
Nice collection of rides there.... My very first car was a '63 Fairlane that I sunk allot of time and money into, wish I had it back. Oh well keep up the nice work!
Very nice looking Merc. I'm a fan of those also. Few years ago I sold a '69 Dan Gurney Spoiler II and still miss it at times. Mercury built some very nice cars and yours is no exception!
Steve I did use Crites relocation kit for the rear springs. There shock tower kit for shaving a small part of the center section to fit there custom headers for the 351 W. Dominic
