What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

I mocked up my new new front spoiler, but mostly I drove the hell out of it like I do every day. And I believe it was Pantera that I played loud enough to cause an arrhythmia on the way back from lunch but I have to confess I'm not sure, it could have been Megadeth. It was definitely Nine Inch Nails and Meg Lee Chin later. I also failed to allow a Civic to pass me on a double yellow line, and boy did he try. That was funny. Later on I did a massive burnout all over the road while leaving a Taco Bell. I then stopped, put my blinker on and waited to turn while contemplating why the hell I just did that. Some people yelled some things at me from across the street.

 

finished the power lock install, ran the 0/1 gauge power line to the trunk for the amps, cut out some metal to install my 6 2/1's in my kick panel location. received material to fabricate my sub grill, drawing plans now.

love drew's post. i think everybody has done that at one time or another.

years ago i was waiting at a 3 way turn (waiting to turn left) i was behind a blue hair that waited literally 10 minutes to turn left. i was so fed up , i threw it into reverse and hammered it. then i braked and threw it into low. and pealed around her. after the smoke cleared i could see the red and blue lights. the cop was sitting in a restaurant behind me watching us, as i waited forever.
he let me off with a city ticket ( something like disturbing the peace. ) while laughing he handed me the ticket. and said he had to give me something.
no points, got out of the fine. ( this was in my 66 impala )

Not 100% sure on the steering yet. I was curious how these would mate up and got a set for next to nothing and figured I'd see what happened. So far I think it'll fly.

 

I got out of work at 6AM and ran out of gas on the way home, got waked up at 12:30 and went down and put in a gallon. Drove it home. Now I'm going down and adjust my fuel sending unit to be more accurate and extend the pick up tube to get the last 6 gallons out of the tank. Then go fill it up. (I've been trying to get the gas as low as I could so I'd spill less when I pulled the unit) I guess I waited about 1.34 miles too long. heheh

 

Nothing. Went out to the garage and looked at it. Too cold and damp; did'nt feel like working on it. I have a lot to get started on - re-install heater box, Sanden AC compressor w/ hardware and new seat covers that shud be arriving any day. I can wait a few weeks till more temperate weather.
After all, it was only abt a week ago we had third largest snow on record here and Im just recovering from all the work involved w/ that.

 

finished building the batt. tray for my...trunk mounted battery.
drew up the wiring digram for my...inertia switch and in-tank fuel pump.

Nothing!
Infortunately I sold my Comet in 09, I am still dreaming of the day I can replace her!

 

I've done that more than once this winter - just the feel of the cold concrete has me turning off the lights, shutting the door and going back in the warm house
