What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

In the second picture, it looks like there is a speck of dirt on the floor. What kind of shoddy shop you running there? LOL

 

i took the 73 comet gt parts car to the crusher today felt pretty bad about it, but it was pretty roached..plus i got a bunch of really good parts off of it

r.i.p.

 

Yeah go ahead and try and justify sending it there, no really it was only a parts car when it was made new so don't feel bad at all, thats what Comets are for.....parts!!
Ya gotta good trunk lid off of it?

 

Picked up some poster board and started tracing my patch panels that I need to make. Dug around in my quarters to see how bad the rust is. Not as bad as I thought. I may not even need to replace the trunk drops.

 

That parts car appears to be in better condition then some people's driver cars. Well was....

 

oops! Its my dads shop and I have to have everything back in place and cleaned up before I leave LOL But hey as soon as I get my floor done in my new garage it will be the same way. I makes it easy to find things when you drop them

 

I ordered a fuel shut off valve to incorperate in the fuel cell vent some kind of way. The gas odor in the garage is freaking me out.

 

Today I scored on a 70 front bumper NOS ,it looked nasty from sitting for years but it cleaned up like new. I have been looking a long time, I still will need the brackets,stone guard,valance but this will help alot.(anyone got them? for sale). I am in my winter mode buying parts and storing stuff. I have been ignoring the Maverick all year since I came across a all org 1980 Pinto Rallye with 32,000 miles for the wife, to attend Shows along with me ......... (if she would like to). (Sweet little all Org. car,very cool!)

I am going to try to complete the Mav with the front bumper switch in 2013,all else is done minus final Painting. I just sent in my supporting member ship again and hope to be on the board more as I was prior. Here are a few pic's, and if anyone can help with parts let me know. I will be at the Columbus Ohio Show in a week,and checking there as well.

yeah i got a pretty good trunk lid off of it..

 

mouse motor

well, went to start my engine and checked the oil first
found crap in it.
story short, i pulled the intake and found a mouse nest in the lifter valley.
so i removed and stripped down the engine. going to upgrade the cam while im rebuilding it.

other things,
fabricating a sbf cam install tool.
polished the cam and crankshaft on the lathe
and making a few other parts.
im going to work on a rack and pinion setup as well.

 

I`ve buyed a dehumidifier for the Garage. In the winter i don`t drive.

 

Ordered my disc brake kit today! Can't wait to get it- gonna be like Christmas in November!

 

Which one did you get?

 

I went with the Mustang Steve conversion and new take-off 2012 Mustang GT rotors (13.2"!!), pads and calipers.

 

Put the mav back together, washed it and took it for a drive...
