What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

painted my rear rotors while waiting on parts...

 

I'm not sure most people realize how fast sub 7sec times are in the 660' really are...........................especially from a street car.
The fastest time I've personally had with the Maverick.........although I was going the full 1320, was a 660' time of 6.167 @109.............and that is with a drag only, purpose built race car...............and I'll bet that Russ's Maverick gets just a little better than 3/4 miles per gallon.
Very, Very nice Russ............if you keep this up you'll have to get the car cert'd for under 10sec quarters..............and actually get your comp license!

 

Thanks, Ive got some work to do on the fuel system now due to uncovering the pickup tube. im shooting for 30's to 40's on my pump gas tune

I sumped my tank today and ordered some -12 line next time there wont be fuel problems!

 

not very pretty yet but i was test fitting clearances, 3/4 npt outlets in the sump and internal baffled

 

Which ones, Frank?

The parts that didn't show up last Thursday or the parts that didn't show up on Thursday of the week before

 

still waiting on both of them parts...two different orders...
just called on the first one and they can't find a tracking number...

 

Drilled holes in my torque boxes for plug welds!

 

Ran into more rust in the pass. fender well. I Cutout and fabbed a new piece, will mount rear end friday and pull the car out of its 1 year garage slumber .

 

Well, I can beat Frank for waiting on parts.........mine have been coming for three weeks...............and still not here although I do have a tracking number.
Return'd the cam to Crower, did more matching on the intake, got the fittings for my Pre-Oiler so I think I can install it...........still need to mount it/figure out where to run the line/have them made as I hate braided line..............waiting for the carb to come back from The Carb Shop after being on their engine dyno...................WILL IT EVER END?

 

Received and inspected parts needed to convert my Comet from the I6 250 to a V8 302, will pick up a set of Headers and get started on the conversion the end of this week. Hope to be finished by end of May. Garv "kafrompa"

 

deciding what to do

 

...don't bet on it...
Summit checked on my order...it will ship in... two weeks...ordered 02/20/12...
my axels i got yesterday...one of them is going back, the tapered end is larger than the bearing seat end...it was tapered in the wrong direction...
they are sending a new one out tomorrow...
...we'll see...
I think they have an International code for Frank Cooper and it goes out when I order something to see how many ways it can be screwed up...

......

 

Just ordered a set of Hedman 88300 Headers, just waiting on the 302 and the Comp Cams kit now.

 

got a gallon of paint stripper and started stripping my hood...figured out that theres about 6 different coats of paint under the blue

 

I think you're mojo has rubbed off on me.............the master cylinder from Aerospace Components has been lost........it's been over a week since it was supposed to be here..............the special bolts I ordered got here today but are the wrong size......................and knowone can find the cam I sent overnight yesterday..........................the only thing I got accomplished is having new oil lines made for the remote filter/I have one side of the disc brake swap finished..................but still waiting on the Global West replacement for my strut rods that were too long............now need to have some brake lines made for the calipers to T on my old system.
