    Most people today don't know what a Maverick is around here. So they look and ask of course, never been called a Vega though LOL

    Took it for a 50 mile run around town, just to see if there are any problems. None...this is the most dependable car I own. Love it. Getting ready for a run to Perry Ga. on Sat.

    Disassembled the differential, opened up the new ring and pinion only to find out it was a 8.8, not an 8in Ring and pinion. Now I have to wait till next weekend to put it back together.:cry:

    Today before work I finished modifying my carb. I had to use a hacksaw on the choke horn.... Im still looking for 5/16th line for vent tube extensions. But everything else is ready for BOOST. I also finished the rest of my fuel system. Made all the lines. Then I bolted on the carb hat and smiled :D

    I had a few minutes after that so I finished bolting the hotside together. My Wastegate is now as internal as it can be. Special thanks to levi for that.
