What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

gonna be putting the old one up for sale? or keeping it around for a spare/other project or a friend

 

No, it was probably going in the round file..................but if you want it just send me enough to cover shipping and you can have the regulator, braided hose from the regulator to the carb and the carb fittings.

 

Got the AFR heads on...Waiting for the ARP head bolts and new rocker arms

 

.........

 

Which AFRs? Im really impressed with AFRs flow numbers.

 

I took mine for a three hour ride in the country !!!!

 

1402's....Nothing too radical

 

lost the securing clip on the reverse shift rod. drove the car into the garage forward. no clue how i'll get it out of there or into the transmission tunnel. need to look for a replacement clip first. now this is gonna be fun...

 

I'm still waiting for that money tree to sprout. You would think with all of this warm weather the thing would be growing like crazy.

I saw Dave at a swap meet over the weekend. He was filling me in on some of things you were doing to your Mav.

Getting ready for my first car show this year - an indoor one on Good Friday at Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor. Got my front bumper out for re-chroming hope to have it back in time for the show.

Good question I'll have to ask my Interior guy when I see him next week. I believe he hand sculpts it out of foam. Whatever he did I'm very pleased with the results. Here's a link to a picture of what the panel replaced.

Attempted to Paint the motor compartment and everything was going smooth untill all of a sudden the paint started spitting out of the gun.....to much flake for the nozzel and needle so now that i figured out where I went wrong Im wet sanding this week and shooting it again on monday

 

......

 

Pulled the top end of the motor down, put a 3/4 fitting in my valley tray for my new crankcase evac, new intake o rings, and valvecover gaskets topped it off, went though the carb again and added some .120 needle seats and cleaned it out good. Runs like a charm now if my 3/16 sheet steel will show up i can get back to riding!

Ordered a electronic speedometer, tach, digital fuel level Gage and a led turn and high beam indicator bezel from summit... I'm going to take an extra gage cluster and convert to after market goodies... I will post pictures when I get it built....
