: I've taken Alice to a few criuse ins and see that occasionally... I guess people think it looks 'cute'....
: I've taken to leaving a note on Alice looking for local mechanics... can't find ANYONE here to help me move the doner and help me swap out the rear and front....
: Got a few replies there... I even met a person who's 70 mav (looks like alice did at one time) is a manual tranny with the stick on the floor... Ironically, she wishes it was an auto....
: We discussed doing a straight trade but I have a feeling that she won't come through... Pity, I even offered to pay for a majority of the labor if her dad wouldn't do it...
: Too many people just TALK... even when there's all the parts and MONEY availble...
: *SIGH*
: My 302 is waiting for me in Olympia... (that's a cash flow thang) my free doner is 15 miles away waiting to find a tow and a place to stash it (my aprtment complex would tow it away in two days!)
: AAAAAAUUUUUUUURRRRRGGGG!! I've looked into "parts for labor", cash for labor....EEEEEKKKKK!!!
: The Maverick miracle fairy only granted half my wish!!!
: OH, As a topper! I was stick in on on a bid for some hood scoops on e-bay... I let it go until I found that the guy retracted his bid! I tried to contact the seller saying I was willing to pay what would have been my winning price but he has not replied...
: AND he had a way to do the conversion too!!
: Okay, done bitching now.. gotta go and change Alice's thermostat and hope to GAWD that's why she keeps getting so hot...
Paulie: there is no way,no how,na na, that You can put the hood scoops on a standard Maverick hood and make it look like a Grabber,have You ever seen a grabber hood? save Your money and buy the real thing.
