    I totally agree with that statement! After last year, pushing the reassembly of Darryl's Maverick up until show day will NEVER happen again! :banghead: (In fact, I'm still not done with Darryl's car completely) :D

    I have all intentions of socializing :tiphat: :Handshake and not stressing out over the car I'm bringing this year!

    Famous saying: "You are never done with a Maverick: there's always something you can do to it"!

    Well, the C4 is out...toploader is in! :whew: I still got a few minor things to do before I can test her out but it's after midnight and I've had it. Should be able to run her down the road tomorrow night. It's all downwhill from here! :clap:

    I am scrambling!

    Waiting on my body shop guy to make some corrections. Got some changes and loose ends in the works. Three people could keep me from going at this point:

    1-David doing the body/paint work :bowdown:
    2-Cristina :bowdown:(wife) if she starts having complications with pregnancy
    3-Gabriela (the daughter on the way) if she decides to show up early! :slap:She's due Aug. 24th-so we hope we are okay.

    1 change in plans-brother can't go with me, Dad says he is coming along this year. :drive:


    ;)

    Until today I wasnt even sure I was going. Now I `ve got to finish my rear axle swap.:smash:

    Change the oil in the Maverick.
    Have two tires put on my truck.
    Check the truck over from bumper to bumper.(fluids,tire press,spare tire press ect.)
    Load the truck with everything I`ll need to bring.
    Clean up the truck.
    Clean up the MAVERICK
    Clean up the trailer. Check over the trailer.

    Hardest part = Trying to sleep the night before we hit the road.:90:

    We're supposed to leave out on Sunday! (echo, echo, echo...) :eek:

    Good luck to all!

    Everyone be patient and safe.

    *Since I am putting my car back together, I am taking that extra minute to make sure I got it right the first time.....definitely not enough time to have to back track.
