Anyone else scrambling for the roundup?

Well, the roundup is next week and I'm scrambling to get things ready on my '73. The motor is in the car and all I have left is to go through the carb. We'll see if I'm ready. If not, I might be driving...:16suspect...a Beretta.

 

Let see here, if it was up in the air between a Beretta and a Mav, I think I would be working day and night to get that Mav ready.

 

I thought I was just about ready...then last Saturday I discovered that my windshield was not as watertight as it was supposed to be and I ended up with 2" of water on the floorboards. I had to take the seats out, carpet...padding. I just got the call from the shop and they finally got the leaks taken care of. I should have plenty of time to get everything back in place for the trip I definitely didn't want to be pulling the interior out this close to the Roundup...

 

That is the special one year only Ford Maverick Beretta model, right?

 

I will be passing through on the way to a family reunion. All I will have is my "Maverick" Hemi-1500 , loaded down with junk, and a laptop with my REAL maverick website on it. I will be the only one there with a "portable Maverick"

I called Doug last night and he was under Darell's Maverick trying to get things finished up. He leaves Saturday. Brings back memories!!! I'm older, wiser and fatter now. mine is done and I have all day Sun & Mon to pack things up.

 

Yep got my steering colum back together. Now just need to install the new shifter as mine no longer racthets, Fix the Frt seat bracket that broke(hey thats why the steering colum is broke too ) and installing a line loc all this weekend. Then need to clean it and tune up for the road trip as I will be driving mine the whole way unlike that sissy John Ford who will be towing his and has half the distance to go

 

I wish.

 

Yep...I gotta get my new seat belts in and I need to finish my disk brake install. I still have to put on my disc brake master cylinder on along with my d/b proportioning valve. That drum brake master cyl just doesn't cut the mustard any more. I've also got a new set of front performance shocks I'll put on if I have the time but they aren't a real big issue.
See you guys Thursday night one way or another.
Can't wait to see that Beretta Maverick!!!

 

Scrambling is an understatement.... ...I like Dans term....I'm thrashing:16suspect

 

Still thrashing here,, 100 degrees with heat index of 105 -112 this weekend. If I live thru it I swear to god I am going to make the motion for Roundup to be held at the North Pole next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear to god man,,,,Donnie Baker is my hero.

In my Best Donnie Baker voice. " I was driving through Kentuky in July and saw like 50 Ford Mavericks man, I swear to God I did. They looked like overgrown Pintos or somethin'... I swear to God they did. They just kept coming and coming.. I swear to God they did. That's spme crazy stuff. I swear to God it is. Ok, I gotta go..."

 

....Hey....you wanna buy a boat??

 

I'm ready to rock and roll!!! I'm packed and waiting to hear from Dennis what time we are starting our journey. Sunday I am going to Ozzfest and Monday is my birthday so I will continue the party. I don't have to go back to work till the end of August. All the bills are paid. I'm loving life.

 

I wanna be Nick
