    Not really "to my Maverick" but for my project. I picked this work stand up online so I'll be ready when I start pulling the body parts off for paint.

    Do and Redo

    The 347 is in place. Today I pulled the exhaust pipes back off 'cause I didn't install the trans cooler lines before the exhaust pipes and there was no way to get even ONE hand to the front tube nut on the transmission with the exhaust pipes in place. Two hands to double wrench the tube nut weren't remotely possible.

    Then the radiator came back out because the probe for fan controller didn't make it into the radiator before IT went in.:mad:

    Got those things back in and managed to take one step forward by plumbing the lines for the auxillary trans cooler. Not much progress today. Glad no one is paying my by the hour.:oops:

    Last steps before first startup are to wire everything up, install new tripple gauges and fill it with fluids. Hope to hear it run in the car by the end of the week. If I can stop redoing things.

    Put some extra foam on them. The cheaper ones we found the foam is junk.

    Finished the front lights and blinker light harness. Going to start wiring the ignition and solenoid in the trunk soon. Need money so its going to be put off for awhile. Also joining the army so need to the the bulk of the car back together to be put into storage once I find out my ship dates. Going to put a lot of my enlistment money into the car though :)
