    Installed my new Door Panels

    Got my door panels back from my interior guy - Jerry Stewart. They are custom but mimic the original panels a little. Saved the medallion from the original panels and put in on the fabric insert.

    1972 mercury comet with a maverick front end. It has a 1992 5.0 motor in it.
    Filled the t5 trany , filled the radiator and set the timing. Hopefully take it for a drive after 3 years of sitting . Took me a little longer to rebuild the motor than i expected.....lol.

    PS. i was thrilled at the way the b303 cam sounded.

    I tore into some comfy seat I pulled from an audi. I came up with a plan of attack for getting the sliders mounted to the seat while keeping it as low as possible. I do not have sliders that fit the maverick, and I think mine had a bench in it anyways. I set what i came up with in the car and have came to the conclusion that I want my seat lower and further back. I'm 6'3" and want some room. My thought are to cut some of the floor pan out and putting in something a little lower/flatter (The current pan humps up where the seat mounts)

    Carb adjustment

    Change the spring in my vacuum secondary on the 750 to one step stronger. Just that little bit took away the bog I had at full throttle from a full stop.
