What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Mick, I was wondering where you were too ! Hope you had a great winter and your money tree came back this spring. Rick

 

I like it! How did he get the rectangles in the pattern to recess like that?

 

Nice door panels.
I finished welding up my Body Dolly yesterday. Im gonna weld the sub frame brackets in today and paint it.
It rolls very smooth.

 

Pulled it out of the garage for the second time this yr. Plan on driving it to work. Man I really need a new front suspention!

 

I worked on my Maverick all weekend and finally finished up my rear floor covers over the top links of the 4 link rear and re-vamped the lower rear seat frame to clear everything and still be able to be fully fuctional.

I've asked Stefan to merge 18 of my seperate build threads into 1 larger one, to keep these updates out of the General section, and stuff them into the Projects section. Once that is done, I'll add pictures and description of my most recent progress. I should have made a project thread for the car long time ago

 

C'mon Bob, only 4 months 'till Roundup...

 

If the Roundup was in York, I might be able to drag it down on a trailer and flop it onto your front lawn - other than that, it isn't going anywhere very far soon

 

How about some pictures to follow your build!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The threads that Stefan will merge go back to 07 and all contain photos. I had a habit of starting new threads every time I did something new. After they are merged, I'll continue to add to that Project thread.

 

I welded the subframe brackets and set the Body on the Dolly this thing is so smooth a 10 yr old can move it safely with ease.

 

Ok Sons Birthday was Saturday, Worked Friday from 8am till 3:30am Saturday on the car got it buffed and waxed motor partially assembled Untill I found that Yates heads were about an Inch taller then Boss 302 Heads for I Drove 2 hrs to get some goodies Saturday Morning spent 2hrs going through head stud kits tring to find one that would work finally ended up buying 6.25in ARP studs and drove 2HRs back to shop getting back to work on the car at 2 pm and having to Drill the steam reliefs in the block finally got heads and intake on at 12am, got Valves adjusted and motor in @ 1:30am only to determine that Heads being taller make headers no longer fit. Pulled Motor back out and Put on Stand went home Got up at 10am and went to work on it again for the welder to run out of gas OMG this car hates me I know have to disappoint my son with the fact that he will not be driving his birthday present to school Monday. I Bleed Blue and am totally against Belly Button Cars but, would drive a Chevy and be unhappy then Dissapoint my son.

 

Woo, I just stripped the first layer of glue off the roof of my car, from the second vinyl top it had.....

 

Thats alot of work. Hope the weather was good.

 

Always good inside the garage

 

My garage is full of Maverick Parts. Lucky Im down here so I can work outside, but not for long. Summer is on my tail.
