What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

rebuilt brakes on the 70 shoes hardware and wheel cylnders. it finlly stops

 

perdy cool how you painted the pipes...looks good, did you use peel off sticker type or just a one peice cut out you put over it?

 

The front end parts just arrived, now I can stop spending time on the phone and money.............................................and get them installed along with
the front disc brakes.

 

drove the comet to work today since we had nice weather, supposed to be nice again tomorrow so it will probably get out again

 

Brake Job

Did you rebuild your wheel cylinders and master cylinder or were they serviceable as they were? I've got to do a complete brake job on my 71 Comet 2dr and I've got a $150.00 parts list to fill before I start the work and rebuild kits are far less expencive than all new brake master and wheel cylinders.

Nice!!

 

Cleaned the spark plugs on the Maverick.. Should be good for another month lmao

 

As of last night we pulled the car out for the first time in about two months, having completed the following - new door gaskets (upper & lower) - new trunk gasket - new carpet - stealth stereo system - and it jams baby!!!

 

It's just a vinyl sticker

 

Got the mustang running again, just little parts now.


Pulled a rear shock off my maverick

 

I kept looking and looking at this thinking, "WOW, that is the cleanest most natural looking installation of a late model 5.0 I've ever seen in a Maverick - heck, it even looks exactly like a Fox body Mustang engine bay - I wonder how he did that ?!?!?!?!?"

 

lol yeah its a 91 gt im working on for a customer


on a side note mine is still sitting on the car ramps just waiting to have these shock brackets made lol

 

How often do y'all take Census/Inventory? Once again I own: 1) 1971 Comet 2dr, 2) 2006 Ford 500 SE, 3) 2007 Ford Focus and 4) 2008 Ford Ranger XLT. The Comet(1971 Model) is undergoing complete restoration and conversion from the vanilla 250 I6 & a bad C-4 to 302 V8 and modified C-4, the engine is getting a set of Hedman 88300 Headers, Comp Cam w/ 512 lift for both intake and exhaust and an Eldelbrock with a single 4V Holley 650cfm Carb. The Comet was originally a RED color but I will repaint it to the "Burgundy" or Dark Red same as my wife's '06 500 SE. I've currently got front and rear V8 crossmembers , a set of V8 engine mount brackets and a set of 302 motor mounts purchased and awaiting delivery. I will get a '68 302 and an upgraded C-4 from a convertible '68 Fairlane GT next week to be installed the first week of March 2012. I will then rebuild the entire suspension, steering and braking systems and expect to pass Texas State Inspection NLT 15 June 2012.

 

this is a pic i took when i picked up this 70 250/c4 8" for a deal i couldnt pass up. bought about a month ago without title and i finally got the title today so i can officially call it MINE!

 

Painted some more parts under the hood.
While I was watching paint dry and drinking many Beers ( best part about working on a car. ) I saw a old flex fan and put it on the Mav.
Thats got to be good for at least 75 hp.......RIGHT?

200-6 + flex fan =
