    We made it to the show with no problems at all... I very happy with my grabber and how she drove... Oh and I set off an alarm on a mazda3 twice at dunkin donuts once coming in and again when I left.... The guy works there, he thought someone was steeling his ride, I told him I'll set it off again when I leave...lmao

    I miss doing that. My buddy at work used to have a supercharged pontiac with an aftermarket alarm. Once I found out the Mav could set it off I did it every time I drove the Mav to work. I found it way funnier than he did.:biglaugh:

    I've done that when the thermostat wasn't seated properly. You can hold the thermostat in place with a rubber band to the front of the housing. Cut and remove the rubber band after the housing is bolted down.

    I was planing on keeping the Maverick as is. Just leave the 6 cyl, auto, and enjoy. I will for awhile but...........Today, I picked up a 93 Cobra motor. :dance: Just the short block, I have everything else to complete it.
    Its got 50,000 miles on it and was replaced cause he put a 347 stroker it his Cobra.
    Best part.......it was FREE! :dancing:
    His wife told him to clean out the garage, so he called me and asked me if I wanted it and any other parts that went with it. AH.....YEAH! :yahoo:
    Even got the motor stand.

    I removed the glass and the swivel ball bracket thing (one screw it doesn`t hurt to put a small amount of valve grinding compound on the tip of the screwdriver) and laid it on a towel then I took a center punch and a small hammer and went around the ball making dimples in the soft mettal untill I got the desired tightness.

    That looks great Facelessnumber. I read Cactusgrabber's post were he talked about doing that and some of his write up , but never saw the pictures of his. Yours looks great. Good job. Are you interested in doing another one possibly. PM so we do not hijack this thread.
