You needed the air shocks to clear the N-50's and allow people to see your Thrush mufflers better. That jacked up look could jack the old crappy Ford front suspensions too.
Those were dark and sad days.....

Looks like it will be a happy mav in the end.

It's those damn Mullet racers..... Oh well.....




I decided I am going EFI on this project, and I was able to pick up a sweet intake for it last night..... I might not be the best thing out there performance, but I think it's probably the best looking Ford EFI intake out there..... Got a good deal on it too.....

I was also able to get an A9L EFI computer yesterday from my boss, it is in excellent shape - not even a ding or scuff on it and none of the seals have been removed..... Best part is it was free.....:2occasion

Here's a pick of the intake.....




I also had to get some of these parts put away, so now my shops rafters and loft look like a Mav junk yard.....
