    Began to build the framework to mount my Holley Black fuel pump to the front of the fuel cell cradle similar to the fuel filter bracket :)

    Streamliner.......Your car looks COOL. GREAT job.

    Yerterday I went to the junk yard and got 2 bucket seat and rear seat for $75.00. Not sure what year Maverick, had big bumpers. I think you guys call them pillow tops. :huh:
    They are in great shape. Drivers side seat tracks are a little rusty. Soaked then in nut busting oil last night.

    Today pull the old seats, they had a long, tough life.

    Got a New York State safety inspection, moved my Mustang 1 1/8th" sway bar towards the rear because i was getting a slight interference with my adjustable struts and oh, my transmission is just fine..:clap:...Turns out my homemade shifter set-up was binding up slightly not allowing it to fully engage second gear

    Got my Motive brake bleeder delivered today, and found out that I have a problem with the rear brakes... There not getting any fluid at all, pb blasted all the fittings so I can move up through the lines looking for the blockage... I suspect its at the rear distribution block and the rear flex hose is looking a little worn...
