    Thats better I can see these pics :thumbs2: Should have cut the core support out would have made pulling the motor a lot easier, but at least this way you knew how to hook it to put in the 73.

    Isnt cleaning up an oily mess fun :rofl2:

    Having met Matt and his entire family has been a real pleasure for me, got to give his mom and dad some kudos for raising a good kid and supporting him. His dad has been behind him all the way on making this Maverick what it is today.

    this Green Cherry Picker we're using was one of the highlights for me. its the exact same one my dad used when he was in highschool to pull his motor out of his 69 camaro (i would love to have the camaro back someday...:rolleyes:)

    You know...it almost looks like you're parting out a small bumper Comet for parts for your Maverick! :bouncy:

    When do I get to see the beautiful yellow trans, that is going into the car? At the Colby cruise, people will be looking under Mavericks/Comets to see how many of us have yellow trans.....LOL
