    Almost finished installing the AC system. Had to reroute heater hoses and remove the valance panel to drill 2 of the 3 new bolt holes for the "exact reproduction condenser" after having the AC shop replace a faulty fitting on the brand new exact reproduction condenser. All that is needed now is longer fan belt, AC lines and then charge it up.

    I finally finished this stage of working on the maverick... homemade grill installed, new turn signals installed wired and working... although side markers still don't work thinking about jumping them off the corresponding front and rear markers.

    You have to use steel plates under the jack-stands,without it they will cut right through the race deck...
