    Went to the pick and pull in Panama City early,cause their website showed a 76 Mav. I think I did good,got a grille with lights and pigtails,a hood latch,strut braces and 3 marker lights and 2 Fox convertible power mirrors and switch... I need to go back and get the seatbelts and a few other things because I forgot my torx bits and it was a hundred mile trip,ate a hundred dollars and right at 100 degrees... Then it rained,hard... One of the rustiest cars I've ever seen... White with blue insides,poor thing,it ate itself... :hungry:

    Was an A/C car,all there and hissed a little pressure... Really wanna go back and get that,and some spare glass... Topside was great,but the sand and salt rain had eated the bottom half... Someone got the front and rear suspension... Have all the parts needed to finish mine except for the ever elusive small bumper set up... It may be bumperless,cause I'm not sellin a kidney for a driver bumper...

    I have a AC Heater assembly I removed from a 77 Maverick in excellent condition. Replaced it with Vintage AC years ago . The Stock unit is sitting on my floor if anyone out there is interested. $ 200.00 + Shipping .

    IMG_20170807_180421 (1).jpg okay so it wasnt today nut day before yesterday I ripped all of the suspension out of my 75 comet gt along with all of the power steering components including the steering gear box in preparation for the m2 front end
    the first thing Ive done to it in about a year before that when I first got it I put spindles and a rearend under it to make it roll sucks building two cars at the same time with little to no money lol

    I drove my Grabber for a week, while waiting on a alternator for my 06 mustang gt. It is HOT here in Florida, but I enjoyed driving it anyway...
