    Worked on the Mav today, replaced the starter solenoid, then started on fixing the rust under where the battery tray was. Was hopeing that it was minor, but I tapped on it with a hammer and the hole grew. Ended up cutting out a panel about 11x5 to clear the rust. Cleaned it up, sprayed it with rust preventer, painted and then fabbed a plate out of aluminum diamond plate to cover the hole. Also had the rear tires off and gained clearance for the tires with an air saw and shop hammer. Plan on getting to the sub frame connectors on Wed. The list is slowly being whittled down:clap:

    I found #2 1968 Cougar bucket seats in a junkyard for $100.00. They look good in my 70 Maverick, 2 dr.

    Looked at it to see how much needs be cleaned out from the garage as it has been buried in there all winter. All I am able see are the tailights and the top of the truck lid.

    Yep, they have them. I got a set of gaskets and new lenses too since there was no way I was going to pay $8 shipping on a $2.65 item. One of mine had a few cracks in it and I'm sure that's about the only brand new item I'll be able to get for my Maverick haha.
