    Plumbed all the hoses , routed and connected final wiring to engine . Planning on "firing" the motor in about 2 days.
    After that , mount new rims and tires , buff out paint and test drive.

    Bought a locking non- Maverick gas cap to keep the honest people honest when it's parked out of my eyesight. :tsk: To me this is simpler to converting the Maverick to a locking version using the techniques in the Forum. Maybe later.

    Was jealous of those new gauge set ups. So I ordered some new gauges and started making the mods to the bezel.
    Next is paint, then install.

    It's just 1/4" textured sheet plastic. I made a template, and cut it all out, then bent the sides. I used ABS dissolved in acetone, big pain to do that, to use as a kind of glue to put the pieces together.
