What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

stripped parts off of the 4 door including the left fender complete dash hood grill tail lights arm rests mirror back bumper emblems and windshield still have to take the radiator sun visors and dome light if theres one there
it will be heading for the scrap yard tomorrow

 

Removed the hvac and stuff... Fabbed my intercooler up, starting bidding on a new grill. And decided on a color scheme! Plus i bought a bunch of new lines and couplers to redo te fuel and vacuum system.

 

Nothing.....I had to take my welder in for repair!!!!!

 

Took mine to chassis shop for upgrades !

 

DROVE IT!!!

First time in almost a year while I cut out the front end and swapped in new power rack and pinion mustang II kit.

Also got quotes on alignment and hooking the exhaust back up, so should be street legal by the end of the week!

 

Awesome...

 

Put the engine/trans back in the car..it's now fully built & im just making the drivers side header...bout 2 more hours to finnish the #5 cyl tube and it's doneee! also removed my UCA's and springs...going to get it all blasted and coated..need to POR-15 up in there now...getting closer.

 

Started on aluminum shifter cover for hurst pistol grip.

 

I started the assembly of my long block, only to hit a road block that stopped me dead in my tracks... My OE 50oz balancer has such a deep center that the thrust bearing and nut on the install tool is inside the center so no wrench will ever work... I have to buy a Lisle tool for $90 bucks, It is the only tool that comes with the spacer needed to get the job done... I also have to redo my timing cover because i had to leave it loose until I got my balancer on because this cover doesn't use centering dowels... The RTV cured while trying to find a tool, so it has to be striped and redone when my tool arives...

 

One step forward...two steps back.

 

Nice job - it is a similar problem with my Hurst V-Gate shifter that it takes up a lot of tunnel to mount

 

Gave it a bath! now it's in the upper 60's so time for a ride
A.G.T.W.B.H.B.M.

 

I would have to be treated for heat stroke if it got in the upper 60's here in Pennsylvania

 

finished up the driver side header today...as it started to snow on me (i dont weld/cut/grind in the shop with the cars in) went inside the shop to work on the front suspension & it just got too damn cold..cranked the heat and I'm inside right now waiting for it to heat up a little..been damn cold for a couple weeks now.

 

Been the coldest and the snowiest winter in a long time just about everywhere
