What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

That looks great.

 

An awful lot of people will never notice the difference.

 

As usual, they will just think it is a Camaro!

 

Spent a few hours removing about 9 coats of paint this morning.

 

This thread is just too dang long. 'Might be cool if a new one was started each year with every previous year's thread locked...

I agree

 

Wired the Taurus fan to the Sniper2. Now we can control the on/offs for both speeds.

 

How’s it running?

 

Very nice straight out of the box. I am not comfortable enough with it yet to start jacking with the settings, but I do like controlling the fan temps with it.

 

Detailing her in anticipation for Hot August Nights. Last time I entered her was 2016 and she got an award from Summit Racing. Event Schedule – Hot August Nights

Waxed her the other day. Applied a treatment to the leather seats and detailed the interior. Not much more to do since I rarely drive her. I think tomorrow I will do a little touch up under the hood and she should be all ready.

Last week the AC stopped working. Thankfully, she just needed a shot of R12 and $280 from my wallet. I need to run the AC once a month in the future. So glad to have it working again. No AC in August sucks.

Finally installed my new roller front spring perches/saddles that I bought 2 years ago.
'Also put new front springs (from ESPO) in while I was at it.
Haven't driven it yet but I'll post an update when I do.
'Gonna replace the strut-rod bushings as well. They don't have a lot of miles on them but been in there for about 20 years so might as well since they're not expensive...

 

My only concern would be that the 20 year old rubber bushings might still be better than anything one would buy NEW today.

 

Yeah I know what you mean. I'll probably save the old ones...

 

Well, I represented the Mavericks by getting into the top 25 cars at a show done at one of the casinos. So, $200 in the pocket and a little trophy to display. I was very surprised given the competition. One thing I notice at the show is how much attention a Maverick gets in a sea of Mustangs and Cameros.

Had my fenders dipped and was pleasantly surprised to have minimal damage.
