    Actually ... I still have a set of disc brakes spindles and a rear defogger for the yellow car to install ... so ... it really ain't finished ... :) Oh ... and it needs new leaf-springs as well since it has a mild case of saggy azz ....

    Looks gorgeous!
    So... pardon me for asking a stupid question, but I'm just curious, what is the little box with the red button in the engine compartment? Emergency ejection? Mine's got one and I'm afraid to push it :16suspect

    ^^^ Fear of the unknown? :hide: I thought maybe the threads of rust holding the car together would let go if I pushed it

    Your all wrong. It activates the flux capacitor makeing travel into the past through the space time continuum possible at 88 mph.

    You see, I didn't actually wreck my '74. That was just a clever cover up. I actually got stuck between two diffrent space time continuum's and the earths rotation warped my frame. :rofl2:

    The button can be bypassed with a half inch long piece of wire, enabling you to remove the flux capacitor. It is located under the dash in a mysterious yellow plastic box. :)

    Jamie, already three or four Mountain Dews this morning, huh?


    That button is what turns your ordinary maverick into the rare Shelby Maverick with the Boss 302 engine.

    It's the header bearing lubricator button
    (kinda like the old-style chain saws).

    -OR-

    It's an "eBay-Ready Test Button". If you push down on the button and the
    fender collapses onto the engine from all the corrosion - your 'classic' is now
    ready for eBay.

    Th..th...th..that's All Folks! (y)
