What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Went to the Valley Mustang Rally June2,2013. Won 1st Place for work in progress. It was held in simi valley,CA. I am working on entering a few more including the Mustang show at the Queen Mary in Sept. and the Roam'in relics show on Oct.27,2013 in moorpark,ca. look in the new Drive magazine for Oct. show.

 

Horse traded for a 250 to rebuild for my maverick
Time to get wrenching and upgrading! Now to find the $ for that.

 

Got in another 70 taillight (with the large back up lens) and the seller covered it in packing tape. The lens is covered in thick adhesive.

 

More welding

 

Same here

 

Just waiting on the big brown truck, once again...

 

My son painted his first part to be painted on his car today little sketchy but he will get it

 

Got in a NOS Maverick emblem for the trunk/spoiler. Not sure I'll even use it but I got it fairly cheap.

 

Finished the t5 swap and been t5'ing it on the way home from Frank's house. I have a 3.00 gear now and at 2k rpm I'm doing 75 mph. I'm not having any problems pulling the small hills on the interstate in mid-Georgia at this speed. I'm thinking a 3.25 gear might be the magic number and a 3.55 might be too much gear with the bottom end torque from a 250 inline six...only time and more test will tell.

 

put in tri bar headlights sunday that I picked up at the swap meet for $30

definitely an improvement

 

glad to see you got it finished. I was wondering how a stock gear would work, mine has a 279 and I was thinking 325 too...

 

I'm glad too !! I'm thinking I need to do a tech article on a 250 t5 swap. Everything went smooth with the swap except my custom exhaust got in the way of the crossmember and a custom crossmember had to be built from scratch.

 

Tacked in my new right rocker section and I see now that the top of the rocker doesn't line up with the bottom of the door. Seems as though the new rocker may be a little different the original one!

 

Can you post a few pictures?

 

I've been prepping my car for paint, going to give it the krylon touch... a lot of prep work for what I'd call a cheap paint job... and with all the disassembly I've been noticing a few things like the door window trim... why do most of the cars I see on here don't have them installed? I'm on the fence about reinstalling mine of cutting off the tabs... the trim is in perfect shape and I have all the plastic tabs still on there... and what should I remove vs. masking off, taillights, side markers, side view mirrors, etc... what to do, what to do...
