    I have a 1976 Maverick Stallion, and 85 More Mavericks and Comets in Inventory.
    I finally got the upper ball joint for my 69.5 yesterday,, and I am hoping to finish the front suspension and roll her out to see sunlight after a year:dance: ,,,,,,,, I was missing a strut rod for the Driver side from the lower controll arm to frame,, Mavoholic,,, has one for me,,:thumbs2:,, Seems when these cars had gotten towed, the drivers hooked the tow chain to the strut bar and bent them up pretty good,, I still do not have a stock of used parts like I do for the Cougars and T-birds, thats going to take some time to get some extra spare parts,, But I am planning on it,,

    So its time to install all the brake and fuel lines,, and get the wire harnes back in,, get the brakes blead,, and make the Final adjustments,, ad make way for the engine next week,, I am keeping the 200 I6 and auto trans,, This car has 28k miles on it and I want to keep it all original,

    I do have to pic up a new Digital Camera,, It sucks not having one,,
