    Thanks Bryant for the pic of your oil pan. I have mine measured and marked off for modification but want to measure again. Makes me nervous that i'll get it back and discover that I overlooked something.

    Humpty dumpty is coming along slowly. Wish I had more time to work on it. When I do get time it seems like I spend most of it looking for the tool or right nut or bolt. I'm off the rest of the year so I hope I can make some serious progress.

    Modified the Moroso oil pan to fit the Maverick.

    Underdash puzzle. Glad I took a lot of pics before I took it apart. Also got a great deal of help from members. THANX

    The headliner took a long time. I'll never attempt another!

    Wow! Looking awesome! I love the black and blue dash. Exactly the way I want mine to turn out.

    Did you use Medium Blue Metallic (16049) on the passenger door?

    Sure did. SEM's 16049 is a perfect match to the OEM.

    Trying to get a can of this paint on the way. Are you sure it is SEM brand? I can find Accumatch distributed by Scott Drake and Rainbow Industries. Would you mind checking the brand on your can? I appreciate it! :tiphat:

    Is that clutch master the Modern driveline unit? If so what do you think of it to this point.

    Only have the master installed. Nice kit. I can say any more until the car is finished.

    I ordered a can of the SEM VP-16049 and the Seymour lacquer AP-16049 from NPD. One more question and I'll quit bugging you! Did you do all of your medium blue metallic painting with the SEM VP-16049?
