    I needed to change the blades and blade clutch on my mower but Patches was on the lift.
    I parked the mower under the car and let the lift down to the mower. then took my large ratchet strap and hooked it to the mower. then raised the lift up to get the mower high enough to get to the blades. all went well...

    Took my maverick to my buddies to stay in storage for a bit. Going to be moving states soon and not able to take it right now. Unfortunately going to be a few years before I can take all my cars and parts :(.

    doing great, thanks for asking
    Put my wheelchair up yesterday. am on my walker and my cane now. been doing a lot of free standing and can walk some unassisted.
    I vacuumed and mopped the house today, Effie seems to think that's therapy...LOL
    the vacuum is a whole house type.
    didn't realize that with mopping you had to walk backwards and a walker is not designed for that...LOL

    Burned wood in the shop furnace all night so I can dedicate the day to putting as much of the interior back in as I can. Been procrastinating getting some dash wiring buttoned up, so will chase that too. Only risk to getting a lot done is the irish cream in the coffee this morning. :drink:

    Did some wiring and mocked up for a new transmission crossmember. Frigid and snowing today, so unlikely to progress today.

    I knew I was missing something? So I went and get the front spoiler presented to the front looks good just need a little bit of adjustment and drill the holes to mount the best possible

    It's interesting how spoilers fit the Maverick valence differently than a Mustang valance. They sit more horizontal, which I think hits a sweet spot behind '70s style and the modern style of a splitter.

    It depends upon who made the spoiler. See build photos.

    For those of you who made their own dash cluster, could you give me some advice/pointers? I have aftermarket gauges and my original bezel was crushed when my tent garage collapsed.
