Hopefully this will be a better pic.

 

page. 11A...

 

I sent the newspaper out to you guys today.

 

Looks great guys!

 

hey steve are you thinking of another show this year? if so Im down to bring my car again. and maybe since I decided to keep curb hoppers car it will come too (this time with the trans staying in park) and who knows maybe the upholstery will be in better shape in both cars by then

 

ps I decided to keep curb hoppers car because no one wanted to buy it and fix it up. everyone wanted to part it out. I even turned down an $800 offer because the guy told me he was going to rip the running gear out for a falcon boxing: if he hadnt of had said that I MIGHT have considered his offer but Ive decided to keep it.

and curb hopper (mike is back on the right track) he came back and has been doing what he is supposed to without being told and hasnt been giving up any lip (the way things are supposed to be)

 

There has been some talk about having a get together in September when it is not so hot and before it starts raining. I will let you guys know if it happens.

 

got the news paper today man that was fast! now Ill hang it on the wall in my garage.
Im looking forward to another show hopefully more mav comet guys show up.

 

I'm looking forward to another show!! Hope we can get more mavs/comets to show up!!!

 

hey sean if you come out this way any time soon I have a complete 4 lug disc brake set up that will fit your car we had it on the blue car just to see if it fit. all you have to do to make it five lug if you wanted to would be find 5 lug rotors that have the same bearing size

you come out and you can have it

they come with the lower control arms spindles rotors calipers everything I believe I even have the springs that go with it. I bought a whole front end cross member and all and was going to fit the whole thing on our comet but I figured out I couldnt so I stripped the parts off of the cross member and tossed it only then did I realize the rotors were four lug I was just so juiced to snag the whole cross member for cheap I didnt look .(I think I paid $125 for it but I more than made up for not being able to use it when I sold the aluminum head I bought from the same guy that day)
I looked up the numbers on the calipers and they came up 80 pinto and a bunch of other early 80's cars even a mustang

 

Thank you! Ill think about it, id like to have disc brakes someday! Wish you still had that head....Id buy that haha. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you sell that head for? I wish I could find a used one.

 

RWbrooks bought ir for $1270 if I remember right
super nice guy with WAAAAAAY too many projects lol I think he said he had 20 somewhat cars around his property

 

I know its not the right place to post it but Id like to let the guys I met at the car show that our little girl was born Saturday July 13th. 7lbs 3oz. I have two weeks off but once I go back the Mav will be my commuter (60 miles round trip) I have calculated my fuel mileage the last few fill ups and I have been getting about 18-19mpg. I know I can get better if I do some work but ill take it!! Hope everyone is doing good. Hope to get together again soon

 

Very cool, congratulations! We should definitely get together again soon. Maybe get a few others to show up too.
