    I just had the car mini tubbed and am installing Calvert racing split mono leaf springs and Caltrac bars. I will be running some type of adjustable shock on the rear (undecided on which kind) but no they won't be coil overs.

    Got her on the ground and went for a short ride. The floor mounted e brake rubbed on the driveshaft. I did get it where I wanted it ride height wise.

    Sold off the C4 to a guy putting it in a Mustang, chopped off some old wiring, and started mocking up my lower dash

    saw a pic on the net where a guy had his manifolds coated after he filed, ground and sanded on them...no polishing, they looked rough.

    after that...I'm still sanding and polishing on mine...:yup:
    almost have one done...:rolleyes:

    Got the brakes working, kind of. Pushed the car out of the garage and turned it around pushed it in backwards. Now when I get my engine back next week, I can put it together in front of the car and drop it in.

    Oh and my "Monster" Transmission was delivered today.

    I ordered a 12" classic Hurst shift handle with a white 5 spd knob... Shifter handles are pricey...

    Took mine out for a two hour cruise yesterday. It felt good just to drive it.
    Coop, Harold, John, Mike and myself (All forum members) are all taking our cars (3 Mavericks and 1 Comet)and going to a reunion car cruise for an old race track that closed down close to our area years ago this Wednesday night. I am looking forward to that. (y)
