What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

too cold to do any bodywork, so I installed my new rear leaf springs I got for christmas!!

 

I finished off the 71, it is now officially dead. I hacked at it thinking some key parts were salvageable but as I got into the nooks and crannies there was weak rusted metal there too. Of all places that was solid it was the cowl. I did save the two sides with the hats, just need to clean off the excess tin.

 

Wait till I get home and post some pictures...when was the last time you saw a 69ish Chevelle in the junk yard? OMG

 

drove about 2 hours to pick up a couple parts from mean_maverick. also checked out some of his collection of parts. and as for the parts i picked up, one of the parts was my small bumper change over for the comet:bananaman
the other parts were for the hahn boys, a set of 73 high back bucket seats

 

Went to put gas yesterday. As I'm pumping gas I hear this voice behind me, "is that a maverick?" I say yes it is. Then he said, "man, I haven't seen one of those in years!"
I always chuckle ever time I hear those words. Nice way to start off the new years

 

Thats cool aint it?? I get in so many gas pump conversations with my car. Love rumbling up to the pumps. Till I have to pay anyhow.
Best one was a young girl who loved the car so much she wouldnt move her car from the pumps. She spent the entire time I was filling just walking around it asking questions. Whole time I'm thinking man this is great. I get a car that seems to attract hot young women (figure its the color) after I have turned into "the old guy with a cool car".

 

I find young women are more friendly now. Guess they think I'm harmless. :16suspect And, I never had a "pretty" car before.

 

Yes sir i think you have nailed it.

 

so this morning i decided to pull the pass side hub. the only thing i found is shoes x2, springs x2, the adjuster wheel. that's all nothing more. i cant beleve i drove this home this way. WOW

 

Nothin been too busy cough'n up my lungs!I this time of year everyonnes sick!!

 

Walked past mine in the garage today, as I went to the tool box for the drill, so I could fix the bed.

 

Planning to install the steering Column tomorrow or the next day,weather permitting.

 

Pretty much finished fixing a dent behind my front driver side tire on the bottom edge of the fender... looked as if someone had been playing golf with a bar and made a creased dent on a edge... hammered it out for the most part than decided to finish off with bondo than primered it.

 

Cruised around earlier, got told I had a sweet badass camaro at the checkers resturant and stood out in the cold with some good friends as it spit snow flurries. The raped a lexus ricer on the freeway on the way home nothing like 70mph rolling burnouts on the interstate

 

Nothing today, I have jury duty...ugh
