    I thought it was time to step into the light. I bought a 72 2-door last October to serve as cheap transportation that was different and easy to work on. I've probably worked on it an hour for every 100 miles I've driven it since then. I've gotten many good ideas from trolling the messages and photos on this forum.

    Wether or not I participate actively in the discussions here, I wanted to at least say thanks!

    Welcome aboard! :Handshake
    Yes, we found that tool a while back. I've looked at Mavericks quite a few times on it. We have a link posted in the wanted to buy section of our forums. Very Cool!!! Here's our link: http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=39985

    Welcome to the Madness!

    If you are working on the car every 100 miles, you seem to be experiencing a bad part of the Madness first hand. Enjoy, old cars make the best daily drivers. That is a good part of the Madness.
