    Had a good trip to the wrecking yard on the weekend, scored a pair of headlight bezels, door glass for both sides, a couple inner fender panels, couple side markers, a rear defogger (y) and....two intermittent wiper controls.:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman and afterwards I went to a cruise-in where there was good Ford representation but unfortunately no mav's or Comets. I'll have to change that next year...

    Installed the wiper controls yesterday in both Mav's, they work great. Finally got around to painting the inside of my instrument panel with flat white today. If only the Sylvania 2825 bulbs weren't so much of a white elephant...been trying to find them everywhere I can think of with no luck. Got a few more places to check out but it doesn't look too promising. Don't really want to put the 194's back in if I can avoid it.

    Thanks Dan, I'll check with the NAPA dealer here and see what they have. (y)

    They come in 10 packs ... I think I had to order mine ... they were a little cheaper by the pack ...

    Dan, you are correct, they come in packs of 10. I went down to the NAPA here after work today and got them to order 30 for me. Looks like I'll have some by Friday. Whoo-hoo! Thanks again! (y)

    Picked up ten of the bulbs on Friday and installed them last night in the Sprint, makes a HUGE difference in brightness. It's a good thing the idiot lights for temp/oil etc. don't stay lit up all the time 'cause they're highly distracting with these bulbs in.
