    Dug out my box of goodies and pull this out. Time to start separating the engine harness since I can bring this inside where it's warm!

    I haven't had much time to actually work on my Maverick, but I have been stockpiling parts for quite a while. Todays shipments included my new performance cam kit from Classic inlines, a zero balance flywheel from brothers, and a 69 Shelby chin spoiler. I've just about collected everything I need to get this project going. I still have to order a clutch kit to complete the c4 to toploader swap, but after that its mostly elbow grease that I'll be needing.
