Got her running yesterday, and she drives! Just had a loose trans line(which I was really hoping for!) Now I just need to get the body put back together. Even better news, one of my friends agreed to spray it for free, all I need to do is get the body ready and figure out what color I want, any suggestions?
awesome man im so close to getting mine running too .... what was the original color??? or whats your interior???
Im glad I didnt have to sell it too The house Im looking at has a huge building that they used to keep horses in, itll be nice to have that as my car hut The original color was metallic brown with tan interior...the interior is now/will be black/silver. Got a Maverick catalog yesterday from AutoKrafters (I live pretty much right down the road from them) so the Maverick restoration is underway...again
Awesome Im looking into buying a house soon so I have some expenses getting in the way, so other then fixing what I can without buying anything Im kinda stuck where Im at...however I will let you know if I come into some extra cash.
A pic Got the coolant system finished and timing and what-not adjusted, just need to get the power steering pump hooked up...when I tried to take it off stupid me backed the mount bolt into the pulley and the ratchet got stuck in neutral...now I have a ratchet free spinning on my PS pump and I cant get it off!

My son has this new thing now, the conversation goes like this. Jeffery: Daddy, you gonna work on my car today? Me: Not today, Im working on the other car. Jeffery: But my cars been broke longer. Me: I know, but I need this one running first. Jeffery: Well hurry up, I want to drive my car! Its a different conversation each time, but every time it ends with "Hurry up" or "well work on it then!"
