Get a load of this...bought a new cyl. head for my 250ci 6cyl from American Cylinder based in Seattle, WA. Paid an arm and a leg, plus shipping...threw it in, and boom...valve drops out, blow a hole through the piston, cracks the block. *HEART ATTACK* So I call them up, they tell me to ship it back to them with a copy of the receipt. I went ahead, did like they asked (paid shipping again) and then, all of the sudden, noone knows anything about it. Go Figure! To add to the mix, I decided to be a hero and check up on my significant other in hurricane Isabel...took my F-150 when i went over there....its about a mile's drive, no prob right? Then BOOM, a tree falls and lands on my hood...I now have the only convertible F-150 in VA, and the scars to prove I did all the work! Anyways, picked up a cheap rice rocket for transportation, looked a little deeper into the maverick, and found that the frame is rotted out. It needs more work than i can do, so I have a '76 maverick, needs framework, and an engine. Brand new tranny, completely rebuilt front end, rear end. Body's almost straight, besides the hole in the trunk for sale...and to get to the point, Im looking for a project car, decent frame, decent body, preferrably one that has/had a 302...By the way, Im glad to be back
