    Cussing one of my rear calipers now. I am trying to disassemble my Versailles calipers to rebuild them and one just doesn't want to come apart.

    Went on a road trip! My Maverick has been out of commission for who knows how long. I spent the past 9 months undoing years of neglect and broken parts. I drove almost 500 miles from my home in Missouri to my parent's place in Texas! She didn't skip a beat, but only got about 16 mpg on this old 6 :cry:. I want to thank everyone who commented on my questions and helped me learn. This wasn't my first project, but it's definitely the oldest, so there was definitely a learning curve.

    I never posted a picture from the side with the wheels mounted. I still need to finish the front and start on the rear wheel openings as well as get the rear ride height dialed in.

    Since my heater box was out, I took out the driver side vent, and removed all the crud and pieces of curled up seam sealer, hosed out cowl, let dry, bent one 4" weenie roller to roll to the right and bent another to roll to the left, and rolled POR 15 all the way around the "hats" inside of the cowl. Cant get a pic of it, but it is there and I feel better about re-installing a freshened up heater box with new fan and core. I will never take the cowl apart in this lifetime.....if it rusts out, the grill will get closed off.
