    Well,
    I thought I'd drop in and see whats going on, Good to see it's still going strong!!! I still have my '74 Grabber, and might get it back together some day :( I started my own business, So I had to give up alot of things the last couple of years.
    Is John B is around? I know him and I always played alot of phone tag, and I hope that hood was of some use to you.

    Wow Dave, good to see you again! Gee, I thought I'd been gone a long time but you've got me beat. Great to see your name on here again and hope all is well.

    It's good to see that your all still here!
    I was thinking about it the other day, it's hard to believe my car is 31 years old. I've owned my Maverick longer than anything else (even longer than I've had my Wife) The other day a guy offered me a 5 litre H.O. motor that he had in his shop, and the first thing that came to mind was stuffing it in my Mav :) Maybe once the weather gets a little better, I'll wheel her out of the garage and send her to the body shop. I'll keep you guys posted!! Thanks for all the response.:)

    Hi Dave,

    I'm still checking in every day, even if I don't post as much lately. The Maverick is progressing VERY slowly, but is still often on my mind. You never know when something relevant to your personal project might get posted.
    By the way, thanks for the hood. I haven't used it yet, but plan to once the weather gets warm enough to open the garage door again.
    Good luck with the new business venture. Keep us posted as you can.
    Hey Stefan, maybe you could institute an 'ol timers club for folks who've stayed in touch for a few years. I wonder who would be the current board member with the most senority? Any guesses out there?
    Later, John B.

    Stefan,

    Your mention of the archives got my curiosity up. I found my first post; Feb. 26, '99!! Hard to belive it's been that long. I had just bought my Mav about 6 weeks earlier from a used car lot where it had been traded in. How often do you hear of a 26 year old car being traded in??? It's been mostly a lot of fun since then.
    Again, a big thanks to you for all you've done Stefan. I hope you continue to get gratification from it for a long time yet. John B.
