What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Fixed a few imperfections today,found after blocking.
2 more coats of primer and the body is ready for sealing and paint...:bananaman

 

Any time Bob.

 

I started leading the driver side drip rail, got the windshield pillar done and ran out of lead. Oh well its too hot out anyway. Time for a double gin dog with lots of ice

 

took my new tires out for a spin...

 

I tore apart the replacement engine....the pistons look good...installed a new timing chain on the replacement engine..tomorrow I will remove the the rad and the fan...on my car and the old engine.

 

Went to a car show at a local church. I was a couple of hours late but still had fun. Met a younger fellow who was driving his father son project. 69 nova big block stroker motor, Merlin heads, a real nice build. All top quality parts and work. Runs 9:45 at the track.
He knew my car and had taken pics of it at prior events. Nice to see them like my little mav when they have such a big buck serious car themselves.

 

Put a fan controller, msd hvc box, and a ram air setup on the 4 door along with a new dome lense and a day/night mirror to replace the night blinding one

 

What did I do to my mav today? I drove it. The wife and I took a ride up to Hamilton Lake in N. Indiana. Took the long way there and back. Had no less than 3 thumbs up and many great comments along the way.

 

Well Done!

 

I stared at it, gave it a little pet, and promised I'll soon take care of what needs to be done.

 

I found 2 nice thick sticks of lead in a box from Johnsons. Tommorro I Lead.:bananaman

 

Took the keys to a car show today... came home and kicked the tire, as I wish I could of drove it and parked it off the show streets.
Anyone want to come over and fix my flex plate for me ?
Just needs transmission dropped and stuff like that...as is not apart..
Going to harbor freight next week to see if I can get some stands that will raise it high enough to kill myself dropping the transmission.
Naw.... I know I would hurt myself so I will pass on that.

 

I'll post in this one, you can delete the other one...
you just need to drop the transmission, it doesn't have to come all the way out from under the car...
to me...removing the transmission lines is the hardest part...(use line wrenches)
there may be a...how to...on here somewhere...
if I was closer I would give you a hand...

Received my new hammer and dolly set from Eastwood yesterday and it has to go back. The "Precision Ground" dollies have more divets in them then a golf ball. This is their professional set!!!!!! Hopefully the new one they send me is in better condition. I don't want to have to buy a set of Martins..........

 

I appreciate the encouragement and well wishes.
Yeah if you were closer I would really enjoy the help.
As it is right now, I will park it till I can either get the money to pay someone to do it...or get the proper place/tools to do the job.
I did manage to get my hand on a mess load of instructional books off amazon...not specific to mavericks of course..lol.
I somehow bought the wrong ford small block one though..as it doesn't have anything on the 200cid..

My father actually said if I help him clean out his garage I could work on it in there...so guess I will be slobbing tons of junk out of his garage. And organizing it for him...as it looks like a hoarders nest in there.
He wont help me do anything on car till he retires though..and I really don't want to wait that long lol. As he is 3 years out from that.
