    You may have to drill it out.

    Them spring roll pins have busted more drill bits than the shelby thread has replies!

    May want to go to junk yard and try the beating game on a donor till you figure it out, or like said earlier, just grind the collar. Good Luck

    It really helps to have the correct size straight punch! Just big enough to fit in collar hole.

    there's a major problem with the going to the junkyard and experimenting thing. NO MAVS OR COMETS ARE LEFT IN FLORIDA. it is very frustrating. i have checked all the yards i can find with in 60 miles and all mavs are gone. it is a nice dream though.

    i originally left the bumper guards and trim on when i was running around town with the sleeper look. after rebuilding the engine it is only a sleeper now if you are deaf or stupid (see honda drivers) after the build up i figured i would continue the be different theme and leave them on.

    ward-- the MCG gathering is still a possibility. my parents live in columbia county so it isn't all that far away. keep me posted and we will see how things work out.
    THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND COMPLIMENTS. IT MEANS ALOT TO ME!

    I agree, Ford should have built the 4 door your way. :tiphat:

    Awesome!

    Big J. Miller. You've got the best looking 4 door around. The pictures turned out good.




    Be carefull with the estimated HP rating. It's starting to sound like the fish stories I used to tell.:D

    thats why they are still estimated. hopefully i can get it to a dyno this year and have some hard numbers. now if i wanted to fib i could always tell the story about the hidden nitrous bottles that everyone looks for since i have 2 little red buttons on the steering wheel.

    i had to up the game some if i am going to keep up with that dayglow yellow runner of yours. :rofl2:
