    Looking good. I know what you mean as I am in the middle of a 2+ year Maverick restoration. I found this car on E-bay today and wrote my son about patience.

    But, as Drew said, this will be "exclusively" your car and you will know every bolt. I hope that helps?!?!

    Dropped in at the Mustang Shop in Calgary today to pick up a carb rebuild kit. The place was packed with Scott-Drake stuff. Mustang owners have it easy! :slap:

    Sent my harmonic balancer/damper to Dale, Mfg.,Salem, Oregon to be repaired/rebuilt; hope it don't get lost it transit. Hope the repair eliminates my engine vibe/buzz issue - got my fingers crossed..

    Was down at Pick and Pull and picked up some Yokahama P205 60 R15 tires in nice shape. Will probably put them on in the spring.
