What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

got the rest of the vynal off the roof of the car, gonna sand it down an get some primer on there to hopefully keep it from rusting again

 

I picked up a nice rust free set of front fender pieces from Texas and yesterday got a chance to strip the paint off of the lower sections

For some "strange" reason, you just don't see sheet metal like this in Pennsylvania

 

My Mavericks told me Happy Fathers Day and that I could just chill. I don't have to work on any of them today. My boys and my grandson are coming out to visit and we will eat and ride 4wheelers most of the day!
Happy Fathers Day everyone!!!

 

After all the electical work I did...I pushed it out of the garage and hooked up the battery to fire it up...incase it really did FIRE up. I need to replace the wiper delay box and/or switch to see if I can get the intermittent wipers working (only have high speed)...also I forgot to hook up the ground to the heater fan motor.

 

I just finished painting my valve cover spacers Ford blue, in a bit I'll be installing my new valve covers, they see what needs to be done to get the air cleaner to fit....

 

got the blue stallion back from having the floors patched

 

Listed my 1972 Comet on Ebay

 

Got my hood and lower valance back from my louver guy...Oh, and did somebody say "lightning holes?"

 

Located the build sheet ...

 

is that under the carpet? is it common to find the build sheets there? i would love to find mine

 

ive heard under the carpet and then also in the springs of the rear seat...either in the back springs or the springs of the bottom. Someone else im sure will let you know more.

Well, I left Friday for an 8 day road trip, Scheduled to be home This saturday, the 25th. Not really sure what happened, Ended up being fighting and i ended up flying home from Denver, Colorado yesterday afternoon. Now i'm home, Sitting in the house, My car still down in Mcminville and my keys locked in the house down there. Not sure how i'm going to get my keys, but if i dont get a reply by tomorrow morning i may just break a window and get my keys. I have no car keys, Truck keys, house key...Nothing.

 

Installed new brackets and AC compressor. Had to refer to mercgt73's restoration thread to figure out the bracketry config w/o a lot of head scratching and cursing. I took the stuff apart abt a year ago. Rusty's page #4, post 37, shows a clear pix of the frt of the engine w/o radiator. Made it a breeze to put back together. Long story short; take pix of everything B4 takedown - unless u have long term experience w/ this stuff. That don't include me.
I have the hoses to measure, fit and have crimped and hopefully be riding in comfort soon.
Anyway, thanks to the guy's I solicited info and they responded graciously, mostly "Jim" JS Arnold".

 

Sent my !@#$%^&*() Holley Avenger 570 back to Holley to fix or rebuild or replace, whichever they want. Carb was a POS since I got it. Hope they can fix it.
