    Today I scored a rust free hood, $33.45. :D

    Also scored 5 intermittent wiper control boxes and 2 switches, the boxes were $3.95 each and the switches were like 2 bux.

    I'll have more parts then I know what to do with if it keeps going like this! :thumbs2:

    I guess it's a sign, that I need to put my '76 back together! I'm finding everything I need for it dirt cheap! Love it!

    Yep, jealous. Good deals like those are hard to come by in this area.

    By the way, did you ever get a chance to score a metal-backed turn signal cam for me?

    I bet you got so excited with the hood and wipers and forgot my cam... :cry:

    I don't blame you, and won't hold it against you. :D

    Yep, I'm jealous. I check the paper every day for Mavericks, found a 76 in the paper this morning for $100. Left work to go look at it, turned out to be a Mustang II.:hmmm:

    I only go half days. Get out at 10:30. Work study. Of course, working for my dad is pretty good if I need to go to the junkyard or something. :)

    I just watch the junk yards like a hawk. The second and new Mav or Comet comes in, I'm there. I have found that if you want the good parts, assumeing their are good parts, you gotta get there before anyone else has a chance! :)

    Come to think of, your right! The rust free hood that was on my '74 Grabber when I bought it was green too! Sold that hood to Tim Holland (mtrhed) to cut up and repair a Grabber hood.


    WM23N1, I got these parts at the Henry County Pull-A-Part down off I-675. I have had pretty good luck at the Norcross Pull-A-Part too though and it's only 15 minutes from my house! Got a rust free Comet hood with perfect hood lip trim there for $28 back in July. Also have gotten several intermittent wiper setups there and a pair of damn nice '70-'72 arm rests there that are now on Earl Branham's car. I have a whole list of specific cars and trucks and years that have parts that work on Mavericks. I check Pull-A-Part's site every couple of days to see if any new have came in.
