    My goal this winter is to get the motor pulled part and freshened up w/ the new cam I got from Old Guy, and rebuild the tranny.
    Would like to get it sanded, primered, painted but I dont think I'll make it that far.

    Dennis, what's it cost to have the rear leafs worked on? I'd like to have more lift in mine.

    My garage is barely big enough to park in, let alone work on my car. The 4door Mav gets priority garage space for the winter though. I am hoping to find somewhere to do body work on it this winter if I can. I would like to pull the engine too and paint the engine bay if possible. Wish me luck.(y)

    I'll trade you mine for yours...
    Mine makes it sit a bit tall, think they have been re-arched
    plus, it had been lifted w/ pieces of flat iron drilled to make a new bracket
    Replacing those w/ the factory setup however

    Not really. I want to get everything done on the Sprint by the end of the year so I can work on my 57 or Comet during the really cold months.
