Thread: tired of putting my 63 comet on the back burners i got a ?

There's not many '63 Comets that survived, and a nicely done street machine would be really sweet. I think I would lean towards an aftermarket IFS with bags so you can get the "gasser look" if that's what you want for "th' look", but still be able to drop it down to a normal ride height for cruising. What did the guys on "Muscle Machine" do for the front suspension on their 'Altered Ego' Project, which is an altered wheelbase Comet from that era? It is period correct using modern components, I think? Sunsetdart makes a very good point on the axle strength, too, but I think he meant minimum 0.25" (1/4") wall thickness if you use a tube axle, and I'm not saying that's the right spec for your car weight.

rs.......thanks for clarifying that.....that's what I meant...wall thickness.
The guys that are doing the altered ego do have a straight axle and it's suspended with leaf springs.
