Desert Mavericks.......Sand Box

Nice Gene! So are we cancelling tomorrows pizza eating?

 

I work late tonight and going junkyardin tomorrow with the father in law. I dont think Ill have time to get the car running, unless its something real simple. If for some reason I get it going I can text tony and gene or post up here if I end up going.

Maybe Ill just bring the mustang up and check out the cars anyways. Or maybe even my truck. It seems to get more attention then the maverick and its actually up and running right now.

 

Getting a new best would be nice but with the weather as warm as it is not sure if that will happen.

 

Where is the pizza place again? I may stop by there on my way back from the track.

 

The old car show at the safeway lot on 83rd ave and Lake Pleasant pkway or Rd. what ever it is, north of Deer Valley about a mile.

 

I picked up my 351W from the shop. No cracks and its standard bore.

Im taking the Mex Block over Monday for the same Checks. It needs a new home, no love here after this 351 score.

I was coming up tommorro to get that 71 carcass and drop a trans off in new river, BUTT!!! Thing 1 sprained a thigh muscle, SO! I didnt get to clear some room for that 71.

When I dropped off that 351 this morning RC wasnt there and few people spoke english so,I stopped off to talk to Gordie Rivera today, WOW! Im so happy Ill say that backwards, WOW!
I dont know why I didnt think of him before. Hes gonna Build my 393 or 408.

 

He's a hell of a Pro Stock guy. Bet he builds a great motor.

 

Went Junkyardin this weekend. At Ecology on Broadway there is a 73 4 door comet. Nice front fenders and hood. Small rear bumper a little bowed but savable with all the mounting stuff.

At the 23rd ave Ecology there was 4 or 5 Mav/Comets. Mostly big bumper 4 doors but saw one 2 door. Not alot of the sought afer stuff left on them but some usable parts depending on what you need. One had the mav tail lights and one still had the comet light. Saw atleast one still had the disk brake front set.

It was very odd seeing this many in one trip. I usually see maybe one when Im out junkyard hopping.

Its great that you have a good bunch of Maverick/Comet fans in your area. You and the Georgia folks have it going on. Good luck with the new web site. Good idea. Wish we had something like that in NC.

 

Just joined up!

 

Cool Gene.

There have been 81 unique Guests visit the site in the last 24 hours. People are finding the site just not joining up yet. This may actually catch on.

 

I tried joining up, but I never received the activation e-mail.

 

I saw that. It looked like you didnt have an email address entered. It showed it was blank. Now it shows the email address today but still not activated. this has happened before. I will delete what you did so far and you can start over and use te same user name.

 

When I registered I did not get the activation either and had to request the code again...then it worked.
