What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Got a new set of 8" rims for my new 8.5" slicks... Nice and narrow keeps em in the wheel wells I hope ! Also just trying to work the bugs out if the car.. Carb issues still hopefully fixed tomorrow and then I need to take it in and get tailpipes added somehow around my fuel pump because it's just too damn loud with axle dumps.

 

changed the wheels over to some spare ones i had laying around, and i also washed it. still bit of a fixer upper but shes my high school sweet heart

 

picked up some trim and ordered the gutters to finish the roof project on my shop.

 

I actually moved the Shelby Mustang rear valence around and c-clamped it into place where it best matches the bottom of the 2 rear quarters to get it ready for final trimming - that is a big event since I haven't touched it since October

 

Bolted on two of the wheels my brother gave me to check the fit. They have too much offset with the 9" I have in the car, they're right under the wheel lip. Not a big deal since they aren't exactly what I wanted and they were cheap enough.

 

Went to put my B&M Megashifter in drive and the little T handle that you have to pull up on to go in a certain gear broke right off in my hand. I was going to put the stock floor shifter back in anyway, I got it all cleaned up and painted over a month ago.

 

Hung out with Roadkill!

 

all of this took place a week or so ago but Ill post it today since I didnt post it then
stripped my car of the front and rear bumpers outside door handles inside door handles custom made aluminum diamond plate door panels the wing on the back and put together an extra set of tail light frames in the pile to go to the powder coating shop :16suspect I also dropped off 4 comet emblems to be powder coated.

I dropped off a total of 25 pieces all together to be powder coated metal flake burgundy.

its all supposed to be done by saturday this week. I have my fingers and toes crossed it gets done on time

yesterday I bought some sand paper and some more $1 paint to paint my car flat black again this time Im going to try and use $1 paint from lowes instead of walmart just to see how it comes out

also got rear disc brakes on my comet gt still working out actually having working brakes but its all installed

 

I had a bunch made Yesterday and passed out a good portion Today at one of the local cruise-in's. There is another one Thursday and I'm gonna go pass out the rest probably. I have to get another 100 printed up because there is a car show in Cameron Park on Saturday. I want to go check it out before going to John's, so I'll save you a few.

 

THAT's cool! I enjoy watching those guys!! Maybe we'll see a Maverick in the next Episode???

 

i saw it on the hot rod magazine facebook page, caught me off guard seeing a mave

 

block sanded most of my black car in preparation for a decent $1 can paint job before the powder coating is done.

found a lot of little dents I didnt remember having last time I painted it

also got eh new 90 ford ranger master cylinder for the comet gt to cure the all wheel disk brake troubles hopefully

 

Brown truck delivered my new 35 spline Axles from Strange engineering...BEEFY!
