    Redid my seat bottom with a cover from Fred. Some of those are not wrinkles just shadows. Came out pretty good.

    worked on the clutch somemore... I relocated the push rod to the inner hole on the clutch fork and that did the trick... It has the travel it needs now and the push rod is in line with the slave now, before it was angled out... I'm still dealing with small leaks in the plastic part of the master... I will look for a master that is free of any plastic parts... I drove it up to the gas station and it was loud(open headers) and fun, and It attracted attention there...lol...

    Put the right column in my 69.5, but not before I painted the dash and replaced the dash pad. Got my parts from Levi. Have to put a big thanks to the guys who put the time in to part out these cars.

    Just spent a small fortune on tons of parts. Monster AOD, and enough stuff from Melvins to keep them in business.

    Scored three NOS Crown Victoria backing plates from a fellow Maverick/Comet owner in town while trying to locate one to match my friend's single NOS backing plate for the disc swap on his Pinto (with Maverick rearend). Now we BOTH have backing plates, and they were only 12 miles up the road!

    And now back to our regularly scheduled sand-blasting... :rolleyes:

    Sat and BS'ed for a couple hours with a buddy of mine about engine swaps into my Maverick if that counts as something I "did to it." lol However, I did get some good ideas for the future for some affordable power.
