What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

......I would like some info on these please.
how are they fastened at the top, brand name and a price...a link would be nice...:Handshake

 

All in another thread would be even better....so some day we can find it again.

 

Looked at the sunshine and realized the snow will still be here for another month or two.

 

started receiving parts ordered, now have the front and rear crossmembers for the 302, the engine mount brackets, motor mounts, a set of Hedman 88300 Headers and ALL of the metal brake lines. Still waitin' on the three (3) brake hoses, the master cylinder, all four (4) wheel cylinders, ALL of the front wheel bearings, the front wheel seals and the bearing caps. She's Lookin' better by the day! "Garv"

 

Finally moved the race car from our old house to the new home. Hadnt been started in awhile. a little gas and a good battery and it fired right up. and boys let me tell you. this baby is bad. i forgot how good it sounds. gona wash her up and get back to work on it.

 

I welded, then I ground, some more welding, more grinding, and a little bit of blasting, and sanding....

 

Started to plumb my new fuel system shouldn't have any starvation issues now

 

took the comet for a cruise around town with my wife..also pressure washed under the hood a little

 

fixed my z bar

 

fired her up, got it out of the garage and gave the mav a bath!

 

Walked by it several times today.

 

Started tearing out the old 6 banger in this car:



in preparation for this to go in it's place:



Except I'm changing to an Explorer intake/GT40 heads to keep it under the stock hood and get a little more power and putting a Ford Motorsport 'F' cam in it. Getting a '57 9 inch slapped under it and of course disc brake conversion up front. Will have a built C5 behind it. Should make a fun little sleeper.

Hopefully can get the intercooler mounted a bit lower so it won't need hood pins. After all, they'd subtract from that totally stock granny look... :evilsmile

 

Grabbed the battery out of the popup camper to test out what lights and electrical items are in working order.

All the lights work and the horn works but the fan and wind shield wipers don't work. Have to sort that out some time soon.

Talked to a great friend that I have known since the 2nd grade. Working a deal with him for parts from his wrecked and long go disposed of 94' Cobra. Picking up the front spindles and disc brakes, complete 8.8 rear end with the stock limited slip and 3.73 gears to include the disc brakes, T56 6 speed, aluminum drive shaft, and Cobra upper and lower intake.

At this time I don't think I will do any fuel injection but maybe later.

Too bad he does not have the engine any longer.

Looking for a 302 and C4 to drop in the car for now with the other modifications to come later.

I didn't take any pictures of the rebuild, what i can do is take pictures of the remaining parts of the rebuild and try to explain what i did.

I didn't use a rebuild kit, what i used was an actual steering box that was in good condition and used those parts along with the ones from the box i took out from my car and selected the ones in best shape to rebuild the box.

I can take some pictures tomorrow.

 

thanks...:Handshake
