New guy 1964 Comet 404 Wagon

New guy 1964 Comet 404 Wagon (updated with pics)

Being a Ford guy I was looking for some type of Falcon wagon to restore for my wife, I found this super clean Comet wagon born and raised in California, factory equipped with a 289 4 BBL , an automatic and power steering, so here we go!!!

Good to be here and hope to meet other Comet Wagon guys!

Ryan

 

BS...?...OOOOOOOOOOO! How 'boute we just call yeah Snake and Happy 4th You'll like it here, Lotta good folks. Tryin' tah remember the '64 still have them cute Lil' finz? Lets see some pix. Guy runnin' 'round S.E. Michigan with a super clean 2 door trailerin' a bike that he grafted matching quarter panals on. Sounds weird but looks pretty neat. Makes yeah do ah double take

 

to the wagon train, bsnake (we already have a snake). Glad to have you. Post up some pix of that Comet!

 

Why don't we just call him Ryan ?
I like it when people on a board are there on a first name base, makes it more personal !!

So, Ryan:

 

I don't like first names on the forum. If you are new at all and a guy posts something with his forum handle, and then, someone answers with a first name...it is confusing as to who the one answering is referring to.

 

Put first names in signatures, "problem" solved !

And you're also doing it in your posts:

Introduction of a new board member with the board name "tellyv"

You welcome him with:

 

So....you suggest that a newbie should search back through sigs to find out who is being referred to? Incidentally, I don't have a sig.
There have been numerous times that confusion arose because of name switching in the middle of posts that were long on info. But, I think you should do as you wish, Erik...I'm sure not telling you or others what to do. I will stick with the forum name.

 

Holy Hell you guys are just as bad as my friends on the Fairlane, and Cobra Forums. I think I am gonna like it here.

I have a black Cobra and that is why I go by Blaksnake, nothin nasty!!! Just blacksnake lol

I will post pics shortly, been workin 20 hour days lately.

First full day off. Pics Soon, Thanks For the welcome.

I could also confuse you more and sign the post "Oak" as that is my nickname, but I wont.

Oh yeah anybody with a 64 Comet wagon let me know I have a crapload of questions, Ryan

 

Who's Ryan??

Thinkin bout springtime yellow and changin tihe inside to black, or maybe leave the red and put some type of Fauxtina paint job on it.

Rebuilding 289 to hopefully 300 hp and adding Powerbrakes.

Welcome Blacksnake Oak Ryan

Hi Ryan I am fairly new guy too. I have a 63 Fairlane Squire 260ci(just starting to restore) close to the Comet but not much help. Your car looks in Great shape not much rust? My vote would to be keep original especially the interior
Welcome and good luck. David(Texas expat Aussie)

I dig the Fairlane wagon, my sons everyday driver is a 62 Fairlane with a 289, 3 on the tree and OD. We also have a 65 mustang fastback we restored together. We bought the fairlane in Wyoming and drove it back to So Cal. It was pretty much done, we put a dual master cylinder and disc brakes. Thanks for the welcome Ryan
