Oh brother...I don't need this!

So I planned on getting 2 solid days in on my Maverick this weekend. Yesterday went ok other than I probably spent 3 hrs of the day driving from parts store to parts store. Looking for Maverick parts these days is like trying to eat after my ex-wife would go shopping. Cereal...no milk. Kool-aid...no sugar. Muffin mix...again no milk. Steak...no steak sauce. I go to one parts store and they have 1 of what I need, then refer me to another. It was like a scavenger hunt.

Then today I get up and it's 49 degrees outside and it didn't really warm up till around lunch so I'm already starting late. Then some old timer that is visiting my neighbor feels compelled to come over at start yacking. He is a real know it all. One of the first things he told me was that back home he is helping his friend restore a real rare Grabber. The reason it's so rare is because it's green and it has ram air. They just pulled the body off of the frame last week and picked up all new sheet metal from the local parts store for the body which is at his house while his friend works on the frame. Dude wouldn't shut up and killed about an hour of my time....oh and I almost forgot...he even gave me one of those stories about a mint car he knew of that belonged to a soldier that got killed in Vietnam still sitting in a garage. Somebody shoot me!

 

Coulda shut him up and told him that we don't have a frame. lol... But that coulda been a door opener too.

 

I'm not a jerk but I politely told him you can't get much sheet metal for a Maverick and there wasn't a frame but he just kept on like he knew what he was talking about. Very annoying!

 

Tell him you dont like Bull$H*^$rs and to leave your house. Only time i have ever called anbody out is when he had a 77 4 door maverick grabber with a 429 5 speed.

 

You, as a 15 year old, would really tell that to an elderly man?

 

No i didnt say i would tell him that, i said for him to say that, not me.

 

wow, thats 6 BS! in 1 conversation!:bananaman

 

i wasnt lying! its at my house!

 

I should have...but I guess from working in customer service I'm always trying to be nice. But liars and bulls%itters really annoy me.

 

especially if you NEED there help, had a friend tell me he had done plenty of engine swaps before, i told him lets start getting the engine ready to come out (engine was tired and getting replaced)

what does he do? starts taking off the valve covers......huh:

 

Hahaha! that is too funny. The sad thing is that most of friends are like that when it comes to anything more than puttin on a cold air intake or changing the oil, but they sure do know how to talk like they know everything. ha.

 

Hahahaha, this is getting funny, I'm sitting in my truck downtown Toronto, thank goodness there is something to read

 

yup i just swaped my mav to disc brakes in the front so i wanted to replace the uper and lower ball joint's and they had one top ball joint at one store and the other one at another store and they couldn't even order the bottom ones WITCH are the whole metal pice that it is connected to so i got lucky and stoped at a autozone and they had them in stock for 40 bucks each ??

 

I take mine off..

 

i dont know if your joking or not but i knew someone was going to say that i have seen pics of engine swaps with the valve covers off, mabey a clearance issue?
