    When I got back from The Philippines I immediately got to work with my friend Peter to renew work on coonstructing another drag racing car. This one a 1970 Maverick that will become a "275 Drag Radial" class-legal race car. I spent the last three days crawling around under it fitting a ladder bar rear suspension and housing floaters. It came out nicely! Here is a pic of the adjustable ladder bar installation as it is today. More reinforcement around the brackets needs finishing, and a new floor needs to be fabricated, but the progress is good.

    THE FIBERGLASS HAS ARRIVED! Ladder bars completely mounted.

    More good progress on the Maverick project: doors mounted and fitted; removable aluminum rear floor completed; steering back in; quarter windows reinstalled; hood attached to hinges and adjusted; rear bumper and tail lights bolted back on; other welding details taken care of. Nice.
