    I have seen where people cut a hole in the shock tower to grease to the upper control arm...Whoever cut my hole got a little carried away. :yikes::slap:

    Appears to me that a very pissed off greasemonkey found a torch and solved all his worldly problems one afternoon on a poor Maverick. We should find him and drag him by a chain down a gravel road behind a Maverick...... ummm oh wait,, I had a bad day. Never mind.

    Sounds like a plan. The 73 bumper cleaned up great!...The package tray is cleaning up too but the carpet glue ain't coming off easy. I will try some mild chemicals and see if that helps. What model did you say this package tray came from??
