    Had another stranger that was just driving by stop and ask if the blue Maverick is for sale. He said not for him because he has a 69 Mach I, but his buddy was looking for a Mav to buy. It's amazing how much attention that car gets.

    Bought 2 rust free fenders. I have been looking for a year and just found these in a town called medicine hat. It is 10 hours from my home and I was on my way to my parents place 14 hrs away. Stuck my head in a junk yard I had never Bin in before and after chatting with a guy for a few minutes , he sold me some fenders off an old race car he has for parts. I am stoked!

    Got my windshield sealed today. Had a new one put in with new gasket, and it leaked like a siev. Even killed the radio. Hope this works, had a wet week in Somerset!

    Placed the order with Classic Inlines for the Carb conversion, Alloy Valve Cover...and a slew of other parts. Since I am only a few miles from them I am awaiting the call to come and get everything!!!
