What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

I use silver...Rust Bullet...on the backs of my bumpers. I also used it in my cowl.
Earl had it on the back of his bumper when he sent it to be rechromed. the Lady called him and asked what it was because the chrome stripping solution wouldn't take it off.

 

Thanks for that info Frank (hope that's cool) I am always kind of torn between what's going to last the longest, most durable, and toughest protection when it comes to stuff like that. Does it lay down good and smooth and is it paint or tint able ?

Later on I want to coat everything on my inner fenders, inside of the doors, trunk etc so info from those who have 1st hand knowledge are always the best sources to ask

 

This was my first experience with POR15. It has amazing adhesion, levels nice, and cures quite hard. I also coated the inside of my trunk....1/4 panels and floor. It is expensive as far as paint goes, but is like no other paint I have used.

 

maybe because it isn't paint...it needs a top coat.

 

cut them back even with the frame rails and running cheap flotech heads...gonna put it on a dyno in a couple weeks so we will see how it does

 

ran tranny coolant lines. changed pinion seal. put drive shaft in.

 

I am interested to see how those heads work out

 

should be firing her up on Saturday....I will post here what i think about them then and the dyno numbers in a few weeks when I throw it on one...

 

Put a new Holley 1850 600 cfm carb and new spark plugs and set the timing on the Stallion, spark plug wires are on the way. Runs much better now.

 

had my cleanup Guy come out early this morning to shampoo and Scotchgard my seats...

 

I installed LED bulbs in my speedometer cluster. What a difference that made.

 

The LED's make a big difference also in the Marker Lights !

what LED bulbs did you use?

 

Hi Frank:
I'll get the numbers for the marker lights for you tomorrow when we're working on the cars. I bought them at
a Truck Dealership here in Deland , FL. I also put AMBER bulbs in my FRONT Turn Signal Light Housings .. BIG DIFFERENCE !
I'll get those numbers also. I have since went to sequential taillights on Both the Comet and the Maverick and I
have LED's that came with the Taillight Assemblies that were different. But the Bulbs work great in the FRONT directional lights and I think I could locate the 4 (RED) REAR LED's that I removed when installing the sequentials..

Put new cut to fit Moroso spark plug wires on, changed out the cracked tail light lens with some early style with backup clear lens that goes all the way across tightened header bolts. Painted a set of shock tower braces and shock stands and some NOS hood hinges. Have to wait for the wifey to get home to help me lift the hood off she is well experienced at it.

Took the back seat out to see how much money and whatever I could find, only found 2 cents. Sheesh Wilbur is tight with his money but then I dont believe he rode in the backseat. Enough colors crayons to color a nice picture and some kind of building blocks.
