    I just downloaded my progress photos from my phone to my computer and will update my project build thread tonight. It was a very productive day and it felt so good to get back to it. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow and I have an extra hour of daylight so all I can say is :bananaman

    I had a new exhaust put on the mav. I went with a H pipe back to a pair of Magnaflows then over the axle and spring, tucked in right behind the tire/bottom of the quarter area....

    Put a pair of tack welds on all 6 threaded anchors for the wiper pivots on the firewall. They were all falling out at disassembly and fun to fish out of the cowl...Wont have to worry about that anymore...Yeah it was 56deg. today, had to work on the mav.

    1972 Comet GT clone 306 . 1969 Fairlane Cobra 428CJ 1988 T-Bird awaiting 331 ..
    Finally brought mine home for the first time yesterday(Sat) and gave it a oil change today(first since '08, been mostly setting over last four years)...

    Water pump started leaking while warming it up, oh well planned on replacing it when I remove all the accessories to detail the engine compartment and engine... Considering on topping off the engine with a E-brock top end kit but if I go that far, I may just stick my 331 in it and save the orig 66K mi 302... The 331 is zero balance & I have the flexplate plus a fresh built AOD with Lentech VB... But then the C4 is fresh rebuilt with maybe 40 miles on it, ah the choices..


    So there lots of detail work and some assembly necessary before I can actually tag it, will have lots of chances to update progress...
