I still haven't had the chance to get those pictures off of my other pc. However, I have recently developed new interest in my old Comet. For some time now, it has only served as a dependable as hell, daily driver. I am beginning to remember my wishlists from when I was younger. Then got to thinking of new ones. I thought you might like to see one. So, here goes: 1. New style Boss blocked 347 with Edelbrock EFI 2. T-56 or AOD with 3.55 or 3.73 (source out a ranger 8.8 and Alum DS) 3. New style Mach 1 rims in 18" sizing 4. TCP front end and Rack/Pinion steering 5. Other various mods like; MaverickMan custom CF hood with grabber style vents, Custom billet grille, MaverickMan custom CF spoiler, Thinline bumper conversion, SN95 rear disc brakes, Fancy pants integral harness buckets (probably from a Caddy), Same baby poop yellow paint from 1977 but, perfect and fresh, new windshield and headliner, complete ground up corrsion inhibitor treatment, complete body strip and refinish,........ OMG, I have to stop. LOL Where can I do this stuff for a living? Anyone hiring? I'm smrt. LOL. Pics soon.
ok, here goes... 1. my maverick to be finished 2. more mavs/comets to drive/fix. 3. some more mavs/comets. not too picky, as you can see.

Well not so much a "wish list" as a "doing it" list but here goes: My blue 72... 1)Strip paint from body 2)Metal finish/lead all patch repairs 3)Remove engine/transmission 3)Remove undercoating(fun wow) 4)prep/prime engine compartment 5)prime body/block sand/fill...repeat till body is straight 6)Prime/seal and finish paint body/eng comp. 5)finish paint/undercoat chassis. Since I only have saturdays in summer to do all this,I guess you could call it a wish list...LOL... Next summer hopefully will be re-assembly time.Then the fun begins... As for the real wish list. Heated garage Rotisserie (for redoing Sprint)
ooooh. heated garage. nice one. id go for more of a heated/cooled garage since im in arkansas, and depending on what day it is, you never know what the weather will be here.
Umm... Stuff I might actually do? Gears & Trac-lock New front and rear swaybars Subframe connectors Long tube headers Floor shifter so I can install them Air conditioning Giggle gas New paint (same color) And a few more minor things like rear discs, maybe a front spoiler, and whatever breaks along the way. Stuff I want but there's no way in hell I'll get the time, money and tools? Shock tower delete (MII or whatever else I might come up with) The biggest effing stroked 429/460 I can build, (or maybe an LSx just to piss everybody off) Make that blown if you please. Driveline that can handle it. Cage. Parachute. Rocket launchers. Ejector seat.
