    There are no repros. You have to find an original. I have a few but I'm going to hang on to them for awhile.

    My mavericks in the muffler shop getting a stock muffler system put in ! :D
    Weighed all my options, and decided I like the limited hearing I have left, as my Mavericks a daily driver...can't be having a loud exhaust.
    Could wear hearing protection but that's over kill for a daily driver.
    Besides... I can swap out my muffler later easy enough, but don't have a pipe bender to fab up a perfect fitting exhaust tubing.

    Bye! Bye! Carbon monoxide poisoning!

    Decided to go with an R&C Manual Rack, But I want an A/C, Alt. serpentine system with my Electric Water Pump and its got to clear my Monte Bar. :mad::mad::mad: I feel like a Diva. It must be Prom Season.

    SSOOO I shot an E Mail to March Performance with my Demands. Cant wait to hear back. They will probably tell me to "Eat A Snickers". :rofl2:

    If they cant do it....Ill do it myself.;)

    Got my order from Oreillys. And there was only 1 spark plug. When it says quantity 1, you would think one set, since I specified it was a 6 cyl. Who buys just one spark plug?

    Ruth and I have been cleaning and painting engine brackets for the last 3 days. The 70 is in getting a newly rebuilt engine (250) and tranny (C4) put into it. Also new motor mounts, u joints, alternator, coil etc.

    After we get that one up and running we'll do the same thing with the 73 GT. :)

    Guess What???? March Performance cant substitute an A/C compressor for the Power steering pump on thier Electric Water Pump Serpentine Kit.
    SSOOO I guess Ill have to show them how its done.

    Shot some High Build Chassis Saver on my passenger fender. Ill block the crap out of it tommorro and hit it with regular chassis saver.

    I hate Body work:(:(:(
