    The weather here in the Northeast will not cooperate to take the car out. Salt got washed off the roads and then it snowed again! Now it has been raining and cold for a week. I took the car out on the one nice day and it vibrated some at 70+. We got a new Hunter balancer at work so I took the wheels in and balanced them. Now I'm waiting for a nice day again to try it:rant2:

    So it wasn’t 20 years ago, it was only 18… I guess this is turning into a long term project.

    I made a switch plate. Now I need to figure out my wire mess. I don't know how to add pictures. See if this works..

    After moving to a warmer climate and car shows near by just about every day I got the desire back to get the Stallion out and shined up, as usual nobody had ever seen or heard of one more less a Maverick . Now its time to get the 72 out and show them that a Maverick can be a real beast on the street as well and there is a drag strip about 35 miles away instead of 100 plus miles so we might try that for some fun again.

    I really miss all the people that we met at MCG meets especially in Somerset, we will be back again someday, tried to make it to Tennessee for the MCCI Round up last year but broke down so had to abandon ship
