What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

I was thinking of using canned air, hold it upside down and it will freeze whatever you point it at. The needle scaler does a great job but I sure wouldn't mind speeding it up a touch.

 

Well the weather won't help to work in the maverick body so I decided to take the engine apart to overhauled and Transsmision next

 

Picked up a Performer RPM with a BBK 75mm throttle body. I was going to run the Explorer intake but the deal was too good to pass up.

 

Today Work in the maverick engine

 

Yeah Miguel looks like you have a touch grimy mess to clean, I would have to a complete rebuild if my engine looked like that

 

I wonder just how clean a shop could get it where he lives. (using baby shampoo)
LOL

 

if you would start a garage then we could see all the pics you have posted at one time...

 

Had to get the Comet in garage so had to do some cleaning n moving to get in there. Now that new Hoosier tires are on n the rest of changes are made no more keeping it under the covered parking. Just waiting on test n tune in February now. Come on February !!!!

 

Nope.....too cold!

 

After about a year of lies and lame excuses, SMS finally sent my red vinyl top!!!



My wife had ordered it for me for Christmas last year. How appropriate that it shows up a few days before Christmas!

Dumb question: is there supposed to be a seam at the top of the A-post? Of course it makes sense, but for some reason I was thinking there wouldn't be.

 

My Magnaflow mufflers are too loud for my taste. I added a pair of complimentary Vibrant resonators. Still loud but it has a nicer sounding low rumble, similar to a Mustang GT. It is tad quieter at highway speed. I mounted them just ahead of my exhaust extensions.

 

My original vinyl roof has a seam about 2/3rds of the way up the A post.

 

Bumper tuck on my ‘73. Looks much better, but not sure I like how the bumper points downward slightly. May have to drill new holes to get it straight.

 

Does look better IMO, might be able to stick a couple washers under the bottom bolts between bumper and brackets to tilt it a little bit more in the right direction. Have you thought about taking the bumperettes off and putting bumper bolts in the holes ?

 

I have thought about the bumperettes. Have them in the rear also, kinda cool in my opinion. Much less on a small bumper car. So both sides had 3 bolts, I used only two bolts to mount it back utilizing the middle bolt hole which was 2 1/4” from the front. I could tilt and tighten, just would need more ROM from large bolt holes.
