What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

they must have thought I ordered your parts...
Jeff and I were talking yesterday about this. I told him, I can screw up enough with the right parts, they don't have to send me wrong or damaged stuff...

 

Looked at it

 

I guess I should have known better than to use your Visa # when I ordered the parts................Hope you don't mind...........thought it could be an early birthday present...........................

 

Picked up a Driver side door, and a sepentine setup.

 

i got the new tranny mount for the 72(gray one) its been about 300 miles since the new engine was installed so i'm going to adjust the valves and the "blue"(purple) on is going off to the local auto electric whiz to have the new fuse box installed and perhaps finally tags and plates. still gotta get the Marti report on the purple/"blue" one. I'm gonna have it restored professionally,the '72 I'm doing that one on my own(and with family)

 

Ok, spent most of the day chasing parts, got the hoses for the remote oil filter done, working on adapting the braided hose from Aerospace Components to my stock brake system, finally received the Aerospace master cylinder with (attached push rod)...............Talked with the cam guys about my cam and they are putting one on the cam grinder as I right this, should be done and on it's way back to me tomorrow..........it was their issue and they stepped...............what can I say about Crower, although I was a little bent out of shape, they took care of it and will overnight it to me. Talked with Eric at Global West about my shorter strut rod and it is being sent to me today..........................put a new steering wheel on because the old one was coming apart.............gas is $4.45per gallon here in the Bay Area........................that is for mid grade which the truck loves!

 

Today I finished up the Headliner, installed parking brake cable, restored handle, completed trunk, and restored clutch pedal assembly ordered more parts from autokrafters next day shipping will recieve monday go figure, sent block out to machine shop with rotating assembly for boring, zero decking, and clearnce for stroker crank, and prep work hope to have back by wed, bolted boss 302 heads on block for test fit it fit but was tight headers are gonna be a chore, picked up some granada complete spindles, ordered master cylinder, wired dash area, all in all pretty productive day for the sons comet at work today.

 

Would love to see some pictures of really how tight it's going to be.
My car was built for the HNRA B/SM class back in the late 70's and it also had a 302 with Boss Heads on it. Back then you couldn't shave the towers for any clearance. I haven't asked the original owner what kind of heads he had on the car but my guess is that they were custom. The headers I have on the 408 now are really close, but I believe they would have gone on without the towers being shaved...................but it would be almost impossible to change plugs.

 

Order globel west spring on the 1st of march, got my seats from summit yesterday. Other than that, im tired of shoping on the internet and nothing fits!

 

Rebuilt the steering box that I took out a few days ago and filled it with grease instead of the oil it had before,.

 

what rebuild kit did you use? have any pics. or maybe do a writeup...:Handshake

 

powered up the fuel injection system and tested all my connections for proper power. everything is good to go. dropping the coil springs tonight and cutting off a full coil. its jacked up high even witht the v8 in it now.

 

Removed the front swaybar brackets. Prepped the front rails for the new crossmember.

 

Swapped out the too deep torque thrusts on the rear for a set that doesn't rub. This weekend we will start work under the hood to make this thing more driveable!

 

^ worked on this as i walked by my maverick
