    1972 mercury comet with a maverick front end. It has a 1992 5.0 motor in it.
    Well got 1/8 down the road and car just stopped like it ran out of gas . Electric fuel pump stopped working . Pecked on it with a screw driver and it came back on . Gotta a popping noise under car that I gotta look at . Got a little side ways in first and let off of it lol . All in all it wasn't a bad first drive ;)

    Those first rides are so much fun! my first one I got sideways in first so I hit second and got sideways again!the first run is always the most exciting, it was extra fun as at the time I had very little in the way of brakes!

    Yeah the motor was built 3 years ago and man it's strong . It's got a few issues but I expected that . Gonna order a new fuel pump and figure out what's hitting underneath . I'm just ready to enjoy it for awhile . It's nowhere near finished but its a start .

    Embarrassed to say this but o well . I found my popping noise , the passenger side front wheel was loose and moving back and forth . Easy fix ! Now for the new fuel pump and I can cruise for the summer !
