What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Loaded it up into the trailer for the move to Spokane

 

around for about an hour and a half. Stopping and taking a bunch of pics of my Grabber at some of the old local buildings, barns, gas stations etc. I'm in a very historical part of Northern California so there are cool old buildings and stuff everywhere.

 

it is finaly alive

drove the maverick for the first time in two years with the new motor it is very wicked just taped the throttle and put the tires up in smoke and went sideways.

 

still...cleaning up a set of exhaust manifolds, getting them ready to be coated...

 

Painted the dash, Installed a better looking dash pad, Put the right steering column in the 69.5.Next I tackle the ignition someone botched.And run through all the wiring so I can get some drive time in this year.

 

Slapped some new doors on it and drove it around the block a few times!!!!

 

Drove my 1976 4-door home from Dearborn, Michigan. About a 500 mile drive weekend.

 

Clutch bleeding and more bleeding... I did get it working good enough to drive around the block once... Now back to more bleeding...

 

I finally got around to working on my 72 Grabber, could not decide if I was keeping it or selling it, but finally decided to keep it. I put a new heater core in and also installed a set of new tires and rims on it. Need to install a set of 1 1/2" lowering blocks to drop the rear some. Now just to get it inspected so I can drive it. Found out the wife accidently threw out the new registration card and plate sticker by accident, so I need to get a new one before they will inspect it here in PA. I still got a lot of cosmetic things I want to do to it here in the near future.

Thanks

I took my 9" apart to check the gear ratio! 4:56 wow the mighty 351c was able to turn the rear with all 200 hp

 

Finished sanding up some of the body on the rear quarters. Now time to apply some quick time and get the body 100% also installing the 9 inch 32 spline today.

 

Painted my sport mirrors for my '73 Comet and bought a factory GT hood scoop.

 

got my new auto meter gauges installed, and wired up to the headlight switch. The cluster on the tunnel is made from a pinto console

 

Mocked up 275/60/15 drag radials with an 8 " rim! If I was a regular dude it might fly! Calverts and a mini tube is only right! It's only money I'm losing in hopes to gain more

 

Had the windshield resealed. Now for a rainy day to see if it is tight and dry inside!
