    Had a slight hesitation and had been feeling like my timing was off, so we advanced it a few degrees. It is definitely better and starts a whole lot easier now, but we are going to mess with it a little more tomorrow.

    Also, I was given a pair of 15" center lines(pizza cutters) for when my disc brakes get finished. Wasn't sure if the 14's would fit back on, so when I was told I could have them for free I jumped on it and they look just like mine so SCORE.

    Puled all the power steering out of the donor car. Ive ruined mine with power steering fluid and need to swap it out, too chicken to do it right now, maybe in a couple weeks. Btw, I love having these junk cars here, its like a personal pull a part in my driveway!

    But maybe you don't have jacka**es for neighbors like some of us do :rofl2::rofl2:
    I know I have put up with some in the past, I just bought car covers for my two that won't fit in the shop yet.

    Finally got the Rod & Custom front suspension put in, and all four wheels back on the ground. Still need to hook up steering wheel, and put engine back in. But that is a project for two other days.

    Went shopping at Franks part house today and got some disc brake spindles for jakes grabber.
    Picked up some decent shape 67 impala tail lights at the perry swap meet a few weeks ago.
    When the parts pile reaches the size of the car it will be time to get started lol
    Huge thanks to frank for guiding and helping us learn the ways of the maverick:thumbs2:
