Poll; What stage are you at with Your Maverick

Been a little too quiet lately. Lets see where everybody is at with their cars. Is it in pieces or can you drive. I think you can vote more than once

 

Car is in pieces but by the end of the day, it looks partially there. I call it a mini resto. All interior will be done (rust paint and fresh coat of paint) and hack free. Engine bay will have the shock towers cut and rust free with semi gloss paint. Fenders will be undercoated and primed. Hood will be fixed and retired. New hood will be a cowl induction hood. Small bumper in the back. Spoiler on. Maybe a mini tub (not sure yet) And a new new motor (thats right, 2 news)

All in 9 months in time for the mcci meet.

 

I am always at "just two more things then ready to paint" stage.

Until then, runs great and drives like a wildcat!!!

 

Maverick: Needs paint and a bevy of junk from classicinlines.com but its a solid, dependable driver right now.
Comet: My daily driver right now, I drive the thing everywhere without problems, next on my list of goodies is the Champion radiator and 3.55s or 3.73s with a spool.. Right now it needs two new paassenger doors and some other bodywork as well as some real paint to be presentable at shows.

 

The Red Comet GT is still at David's in a million pieces and the Green Comet GT is mostly in one piece resembling a car (no trans installed yet), so I voted for both.

I'm sort of between 2 and 3. I have driven it...it looks like a car but still a long way to go.

 

pretty close race so far, 10 non drivable, 11 driveable. One of the driveable cars has admitted they are DONE. i Don't think I will ever be DONE, and hold for a while, maybe.

 

Very Drivable, but fuel delivery leaves alot to be desired. It needs new gas tank, fuel pump, and fuel filter due to sitting for 2 years. Also needs plugs and wires and a little carburator tweaking. (parts bought, just not installed)

Body - slight rust on cowl and around drip rail. Trunk needs major rust repair. Need to find Grabber Hood and Spoiler. Everytime I have one line up, the person sells it out from under me. (If any of you are holding the guy in Rogersville up on selling me the hood there, I will have to track you down He says if you don't pick it up this weekend it is mine.)

Interior - paint/dye it black.

Want to do - replace all weather stripping and seals, but don't have to. Considering a cold air intake and 2BBL carb, but those are definitely wants.

Then it is off to paint.

Main thing it needs it TIME - of me to have some to fix all these things.

 

It aint over till its over

It may run and drive and look good but always something else that could be done or redone or or or

 

OR...there will always be that pristine hood that needs to be cut open to allow a 6-71 blower to poke out the top...

 

I have a built 351w but plan to cut the towers out for the pinto clip this weekend so its in a million pieces.

 

Just click on "my images" and you will see that my car is in a constant stage of "getting there"

 

Sitting in the same place, on the same stands, under the same stuff. But the quarters are just about done.

 

My mav is on the home stretch...but my wallet is already over stretched. my fresh paint sits under 1/2 inch of dust, My back tires are bald and I need a new carb for the hi rise parker intake I got for it. Rear main seal is leaking but thats just cause im to lazy...other than that shes a solid runner. Hope to have her bad on the road before the plates expire in jan. Maybe thatll b my x-mas presant to myself. Prob not tho...kid+wife=broke!

 

just started,so its stripped down all the way,getting floors and trunk.
