    i met Jeff at Summit today when i went to swap some parts... :yup:
    got the parts swapped and was leaving and the guy wanted to come outside to see Jeff's Falcon. on the way out we were discussing my parts situation and he got to thinking about what he had just sold me and told me i still had the wrong parts...:cry: we went back inside and returned them and got some more. :slap: the real kicker is...there is only 3 peices to this puzzle...:yup:
    i spent most of the day...making bolts...shorter, cut heads off/ threaded for nuts and rethreaded three. tapped some hole threads deeper...:whew:it's hard to believe this thing came in a kit...w/hardware.
    tomorrow i will try to get this thing together...(y)

    ...:bouncy:...

    DSL is not on his street or area. He still using two tomato soup cans and a string.:yup:

    I heard he was putting running boards on his Maverick with the exhaust running through them. The only reason I can figure he's putting running boards on a Maverick is because he must've put 22's on the car. :burnout:
