What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Tried to get my new MIG welder going but found out it needs a different drive roller to feed .023 wire. So I had to order one.

 

You can't just flip it around? Most rollers have 2 different size grooves.

 

That's what I thought. The Hobart 140 only has grooves for solid wire (smooth) and flux core (grooved) .030-.035.

Fyi if any of you have a Hobart Handler, the only other drive roller they offer is for .024-.035 V smooth solid wire.

I called their tech line and they said that roller feeds the .023 wire. Sort of confusing to me.

 

Had a productive afternoon/evening! Finished welding up the spring perches on my 8.8" rear, and welded the tubes to the housing. Then proceeded to get it set back under the car. Also got a 90 Mustang tach fit into the dash, now just to do some detail finishing work which I didn't have the patience to do tonight!

 

Thanks for the pointer... been wanting to post a msg for months!
Just had no clue how to do it, and didn't know how to ask for help.

I already got 1 response, so with camera-in-hand, I'm going to
photograph the old heater box, so others know what I need.

Thanks again!!

 

Kickdown shaft o-ring will be at advanced auto in the morning. Shifter time

 

Bought it a little friend, and finished clearancing the cable clutch firewall adjuster, now just need a cable and I'm in business!

 

And you are not going to share............................???????

 

Yeah but you want pics and I can't get any right now, but it's a 1969.5.

 

Yeah..............we want pictures also, but you could have told us WHAT you got...................................I thought maybe it was a Vespa when you said Little Friend

 

I wish I could find a Vespa, I had one along time ago and loved it!!
It's the white Maverick I have been trying to get for so long, finally nailed the guy down long enough to get the title done and pay him.

 

Very cool........................send pictures when you get it home.

 

Bought myself a b-day gift for the maverick... a car cover as it isn't running and I don't want it buried in snow

 

i cut my shock tower up

 

Going to have to drive mine 100 miles to and from work, since the truck is still in the shop.
