    Earl came by this morning and had breakfast with me and my dad. Dad treated. We went to Dad's house and got his basement in good enough shape to move his welders from one end of the basement to the other where there is a garage door.

    We will have a welding good time next Saturday. Think we can get Dennis to come down and bring his new plasma cutter?:smash:

    Got the bumper positioned and bolted on. Earl .. it is nice and straight with no issues. Check out my NOS bumper guards ... All that is left is to weld in the supports and weld up the Big Bumper holes left in the 1/4 panels .....

    Don't think a complete repaint will be in my budget anytime soon. For now I'm just gonna match the paint with a rattle can ... I sprayed my Comet GT hood scoop that way and it came out fine. Some day when I decide to repaint the entire car I'll remove the trim and weld those holes closed as well ....

    Dan; hopefully, the Boyz can get it right this time. Are you going to Moultrie with us this time? Can't remember if you said yes or no. I have the black carpet installed in my car now, just have to put the interior back together and see how it looks. Catch you later,

    No idea what the bumper is off of ... Got it from Bumper Boyz at the Moultrie, GA show in November ... Why? does it have a Comet spread on the guards?

    OK ... I just checked the back of the 71 Sales brochure .. as per the picture it does appear they are the correct spacing for a Maverick .... Thanks Dave ..

    Don't think I'm gonna make the Moultrie trip this time. Earl ... you bringing the package tray an A/C vents for me? Just saw the weather for this Saturday... they are guessing 40 degrees and possible rain ... bummer.
