What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

put down more sound mat. What a PITA

 

Saturday went and got some donated maverick parts not sure what year the car was but happy with the parts from it. now i can replace both door arm rests, unfortunately only the passenger door arm rest is in one piece but drivers arm rest in semi better condition than original. had some bucket seats in better condition than the current bench. now can have 3 mirrors instead of 2 passenger mirror will look off but it works for now.

 

Removed and painted lower dash in order to complete fuse box relocation. A friend has an 8.8 rear from a 96 or 7 explorer, offered it to me for 150$....Is that a desirable unit at a good price? Sorry, that query just came to mind, had to ask before my thoughts rolled onto something else....Yesterday I searched around town for Frost King duct insulation....reportedly works to deaden noise and insulate at a friendly price....today? ...perhaps I'll install a cloaking device.....

 

What's a Cloaking Device?

 

Something, ( probably non-existent, ) that would camouflage , render invisible my many unfinished Mav projects...Lol

 

Standard option on the Klingon bird of prey.

 

Beat me to it. I don't think Ford started offering them until the mid-90s, and then only on high-trim Lincoln Town Cars. Weighed as much as a flux capacitor and used almost as much power.

 

Problem is, Town Cars with option aren't visible.

If you can see it, either not optioned or has stopped functioning.

 

The 95-01 axle is a desirable axle, 31 spline, limited slip and disc brakes and $150 is a good price.
Here’s a link with information on the Explorer 8.8.

And a link with information on shortening the Explorer 8.8, I recommend shortening it for use in 70-77 Maverick’s/Comet’s although others have installed them without shortening.

Preparing the rear spoiler to paint the stripe coming along

 

You do some amazing work, car will be beautiful when completed

 

Good info, and thanks for both links...

 

That looks real nice! What base did you use for the air cleaner?

 

You’re welcome, all this seemingly useless information floating around in my head comes in handy once in awhile. In the narrowing link it says 1995-2004 Explorer, that’s wrong, Explorers had the straight axle up to 2001. Third generation 2002 - 2005 came with independent rear suspension and used a 8.8 center with CV shafts.

 

Thank you only once in a life time this is a gift for my daughter all done in house by this 2 hands it has been 3 years already working in this project every day Love it,,,,
