What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Last night, I fired mine up for the first time this year!!

 

Getting ready to paint the dash...Disconnected my battery, removed the seats, carpet, package tray and dash cap. I think this upset my dog 'cause she gave me an ear full when she saw what I'd done.

 

What color are you going with?

 

put the alternator and everything back in

 

Gonna go with a black interior. I have some nice door panels except they were removed by a rookie who broke the board at every clip. I hope I can replace the Masonite and keep the vinyl.

 

LOL, which one of your many transmissions would that be, Frank?

 

dropped off my boomerangs and hood trim to be chromed and polished.

 

Removed my front pass. seat to re-upholster them, tommorrow or maybe get started tonite. That all hinges on how I feel after a rest break.
While I was at it, or had that side of the car up I made prep to spray a little undercoating under a very clean undercarriage. I was fortunate - this car has not seen much if any salt.

 

I ordered my Grabber stripes finally from Phoenix Graphics. Two color custom colors were and xtra $40.00 and a 10 day waiting time. I hope I chose wisely ....

 

the first one in a new batch...

 

Did you ordered the hood stripe as well? If so, how much didthey cost if i may ask? Thanks!

 

Finished passanger side bucket rehab. Gets easier, each one I do. Also, I wud say it will make the cars interior more pleasant to occupy and looks better too..

 

Sunday - had a problem with right side frame rail clearence on the big tube 71 Mustang Hooker Comp headers for the Cleveland so I clearenced the frame rail to allow the header to go into the inside face of the frame rail instead of smashing the tube - I'll box the inside of the frame rail once I square up and clean up the clearence cuts - also had to cut a piece out of the floor for about a 1/4 of an inch of tube clearence - I'll put a little raised steel piece back in to form a little pocket for the tube clearence - the driver's side header fit with no problem

 

Beautiful job, Everett

 

Thanks for the roses Bob. Small project compared to what u have going. I had origanally considered having it done professionally. When I thought abt it, it cud'nt be much more difficult than covering a model aircraft. I was right. I have covered a few of them over the years. I watch a video on Youtube, bought myself a set of ring pliers and rings and went for it. I have a few small puckers, but, it's hard to get it completely tite workin w/ 40yr old foam.
I am satisfied w/ the results and the cost.

I am presently workin on the rear pak tray covering, more sound insl in that area and some new 6*9s.
I hope to install the pak tray and rear seat tommorrow. Getting for first Kruize nites May 1st.
