Here’s an update on Bevo, the 75 Maverick. Car arrived with significant overspray over entire body and windows. It took a day plus to remove all and get him looking much better. Next, hood was in serious need of adjustment. It was making a horrible noise on opening as the hood was too close to cowl. Adjustment went well. The trunk was a bit of a mess so I pulled all old cover out, cleaned, used Por 15, put down heat/sound barrier and ordered a trunk mat. Looks fine for now. I do need a jack to lock down spare tire. The fuel tank sending unit was not sending signal to gauge, so, back to Rockauto. Before I could replace sending unit, TRANSMISSION gave up! Forgot to mention I knew it was in trouble as fluid was brown and smelled burnt, when I received car. C4 was rebuilt by some great guys in Arkadelphia. They replaced my sending unit and basically rebuilt brakes, while there. Couldn’t be happier with their work! Replaced a few engine compartment components, electrically, started cleaning underside of hood, made a bumper rubber to match the others and moved on to interior. Pulled the seats, carpet, back panels and kick panels. Put down heat/sound barrier and decided I’d better check out all dash components before proceeding further. Had to replace printed circuit board and light switch. I am working on radio and speaker. I want to thank everyone for the guidance on pulling the dash!!! The discussion threads helped tremendously! I’ll try to keep all updated as I progress. Photos when Bevo looks handsome once again.

 

1975 Maverick finished at paint shop. Now on to figuring out how to get rid of the old air cleaner and keep vacuum.
