    Pulled the storage tray out from under the dash on my "71 Mav and removed the front bumper, bumper filler piece and the front cowl (or whatever you call it, the piece that sits below the bumper with the parking/turn signal ights peeking through) from the car (not in that order). Put all the bolts back into their original holes to retain the clips they screw into and avoid losing the bolts. Took my girls (Mommy and daughter) to the beach to avoid getting fussed at for spending too much time on the Mav.. and had a great time there too!

    Put on new upper ball joints, cut one coil off the front springs and painted them, got the new lower control arms out of the box and started laying out all the new parts so I can put the front end back together so I can drop in the motor and tranny
