    Went down to Frank's house today and we swapped my leaf springs out with new springs I got from Laurel Mountain Mustang. The springs came with the front bushings already installed...I bought the shackle bushings from Summit yesterday. Having the right tools, like a 2-post lift, transmission jack to hold the rear end and impact wrench, made this job a walk in the park. It took less than an hour and half from start to finish. Thanks Frank for the help and use of your shop.

    I just LOVE the stance of your Maverick. Can you tell me what you did. That is one of the meanest looking Maverick's I've seen. Doesn't matter if it has a six or not, it looks fantastic!

    Just welded in a batttery tray replacement (fabricated at my sheet metal shop by me :)) to replace the rusted out tray and have it serve as a mounting location for the MSD box.
