    Took my car out for the first time on a 65 mile test run this past weekend. Everything seems to be working fine after my year and a half build. A few things yet to be done, but the light at the end of the tunnel is much bigger now.

    Thank you

    The motor is an 89 Roller Motor - Trick-Flow aluminum heads, 303 cam and MSD Ignition, Magnaflo exhaust - backed by C-4.

    Bench seat interior, column trans selector, Sun Tack & S/W gages.

    This test run was not only my very first ever drive in a Maverick, but also my very first ever ride in a Maverick. This just took 72+ years to accomplish.

    Dave - You will be the first to know. Thanks for all your help especially with the silly questions I would ask.
