Desert Mavericks.......Sand Box

Introduce yourself Newbie

 

Hi my name is Adam I am a work o holic, I used to have a maverick. Atleast it was in the garage the last time I looked in there!


See your still trying to figure out how to install a fuel filter huh
LOL

 

I'm going to look at them in 20 Min. he wants 30.00

 

You know, valve springs go flat when they sit this long Adam.

 

It turned out that this car is a donor 5 lug for his Fathers 67 Stang.
I had a nice visit with his Dad. I think I'll salvage the motor mounts, the trans crossmember and some other goodies. He's yanking the 302 out tommorro, so I can get at them. I think I'll also get the tail lights. The rear bumper is still nice, anybody want it?

 

Boy I am in trouble than! I got probably 32 flat valve springs, and 8 flat tires .



Whats up Tony! I looked through the drag racing section, but I did not see any time slip updates? Whats up with that? You keeping them top secret?:16suspect


Yep sad to say I have not even opened the hood on the maverick in 4 months. I have only been home maybe 4 weekends in the last 5 months. Busy season right now, I have been bouncing in between northern and southern California, northern and southern Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, North and South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Frequent flyer miles are getting up there!

Good news is I should be in vegas starting in a couple weeks for a few month stretch, short flight home and seems like some good drag racing coming through there

 

Make sure you get the frame mounts that are under the motor mounts. And dont forget the Belly bar and throttle cable too.

Oh And can you check if the front kick Panels have the factory speaker grills? Ive been looking for a set of those.

 

Ok .......I never thought about the T cable....Thanks again Bro.

 

I pulled the Motor and trans out, then cut up a donor 57 chubby 4 dr wagon, loaded it up in my PU, and I am bushed.

 

Anybody need 4 lug steel wheels? I got some for a project that is never going to happen. One pair has almost new 185 series tires, and the other 2 are bare wheels. I'd hang on to them but the tires will rot away before i use them on anything and maybe somebody could use them. Will let them all go cheap or maybe trade for something.

 

I picked up the 4 dr this morning and the kick panels were missing
Ryan this is a 71 and the turn signals are in the lower Valance. BTW whats a head light door?

 

headlight door is also a headlight bezel i guess, the piece around the headlight area. I guess im stuck on what my dad called them on out truck parts.

Are the bumpers any good on it? You could do a small bumper conversion to the front if they are good. The back has the bumper brackets that tuck the bumper closer to the body than onyour 73. You will need to change out the quarter extentions behind the bumper also.

 

I found the headlight trim bessels in the trunk of my 73. This 71 has them Ill take a look at them to see if there worth savin and get back to you.

 

Hey guys I was just talking to a guy thats looking for some parts and I told him Id ask here. So far I know he is looking for the following:

Grabber grill, wants it factory black. and sport lamps
He wants to trade out his package tray for a glovebox lower dash.
Said hed like a shifter hump but i told him i did fine without one

He may be joining the board soon but if not ill let him know if you guys have any of this.

 

Hell of a storm last night down here. Did you guys get it in the PHX area?
