has anyone taken the front suspension out of another ford in efforts to completly elimniate the shock towers? I was wondering because I had a '77 Pinto and don't remember it having shock towers. Can that be done? What do you guys think?
come to the fall street machine nationals in Springfield Mo next Saturday and you can look at mine and Jim Allens both have a mustangII front end under them mine was from an 80 merc bobcat....took a little work but not bad now my 460 fits just fine
man, you got the street machine nationals next week and this weekend is the HOG state rally. I wanna move there! Dan
Robert so how many Mavericks have confirmed? Got my new engine running yesterday, have a bad oil leak to fix yet, but we will be there on Friday.
robert I have the day off but I have to wate for my wife to get off work at 2 pm then we will come up I would like to see you maverick very much. Can I tak pics of it. do you know where you will be at yet. see you later .
lets see......your car.......Jim Larsons car(purple 70) Jim allens car My car...Matts car(not sure if he's entering it) John Ford is Driveing his yellow 70 from Ky. not sure on Jim Pollards car(but he will be here) Mark Griffith is bringing his FFR Cobra this year instead of the mav(his was the black one there last year) Elliot will be there but no mav.....it seems like I'm missing someone here but it will come to me and there are a couple of guys here in town that will be there as well....and my buddy John is entering his T bucket. all in all not to bad of a turnout....not to mention the new folks we will meet as well.....I am realy looking forward to it I will be there some time on friday and this year I will be there all 3 days.....as for where we will be.....not sure....but I can garaunty there will be a blue mav surounded by mustangs in the southeast corner and if all else fails he can point you in the right direction
not sure if he is entering it????? :confused: Is there a car show? I do not want any part of that .........but I am still there! Have you decided a time and place to meet Saturday?
Wow looks like there will be a few Mavericks there. Last year there was 3 we could double that this year. I will be there with my Blue 70 Maverick and several friends, a Red 69 Shelby GT500 and two Brand X Lowered trucks.
Calm down John. The reason I wasn't sure was I didn't want to enter my rust-bucket with the moldy vinyl top in the show unless everyone else was, so we could all be parked fairly close together. It would have been easier for everyone to get out together if we were all inside.
Ok how about 9am saturday morning at the McDonalds it is on Kansas expressway(hiway 13) in front of the walmart super center this is about 1000 ft from the overpass (I-44) I will see some there and some the night before I drove the car to work today to test it out.....did pretty good still running a little warm...but was about a 35 mile round trip..(for the record I will trailer it to town this weekend) looking forward to seeing everyone!!
Hmmmm 1000 feet... does that mean we're going to be drag racing? You trailering it because you are afraid it's gonna break or to save gas?
just getting my directions........ so 44 passes over this Highway 13? Mapquest shows 475.1 miles from Louisville to Springfield.....how much more driving do I have after I get into Springfield before I am at the McDonalds? Robert, you know my plans so I am just trying to figure out where/when I stop Friday night how much time to allow for me to get to McDonalds by 9am Central time. Thanks~!
