    Hi Frank:
    Lost track of the post about the Hood Lift before I could respond to it .. I've noticed that when the hinges are worn they may allow the hood to lift slightly in the rear at the firewall /cowl areas. I got NEW hinges without a lot of movement and installed them on my Comet and they fit great . On the Maverick, it hasn't been a problem with the (came with the car)hinges. I have a NEW set I was going to install on the Maverick along with the Dynacorn Grabber Hood but never got around to it before a HRPT and they've been on there since. No problem.
    Your work on your car is exceptional. Really like the looks of the Rear End area . Nice ! Did you ever get the new calipers installed ?

    Got my Hedman header install complete and had muffler shop bend pipes to mufflers. Kept the mufflers I had, liked the way they sound and in very good condition. Also, did some detail work and wiring changes; ready to hit the show/cruize this week.
