Thanks to Mavericke

Just thought I'd give a shout out to Mavericke. He's been more than helpful with my search for an Eagle. It's people like him that make this such a great community. Not to mention he's made it his mission to save as many Eagles as he can at his Sanctuary! :) Good luck with all your future projects Mavericke.

Let me add my thanks to Mavericke for hosting a fine meet.   As usual I received more help than I gave, but I did hold the flashlight so others could do the work!

Shanebo's right, lol!

Rich, thanks for YOUR help out here! Send us some pictures when you get that valve cover installed!

Jim, I'm just glad you finally got your doors. It's too bad that they don't match up a little better but once she's painted - she's going to look amazing! Sorry we didn't get that carb problem sorted out but I think everyone had the same idea about you just getting a new one. I think you'll be real happy with it. Sorry too that I didn't have a hatch cover for you. I still swear I have a blue one laying around here somewhere... when I find it - it's yours.

You guys would be suprised at how much we've got done since you left. The Jeep and the truck parts are now out of the barn. The engines are better organized and I got a couple hauled off as well. I've got all the spare parts that were out by the cars (from the ones we stripped down), all under the awning now. A little more work in the barn and it'll be ready for all the tools. Then, we're dragging Pat's car inside to start ripping her apart! :P

Sounds like you are really making some progress Mav. On a side note, I'm looking into that $800 Eagle I showed you some pics of that looked like your lifted '85. Having a friend check it out this weekend. If it's worth it I might through out an offer so I can have a beater Eagle for the winter months.

I was bit hard a long time ago...it just recently really started to itch!  :rotfl:

If I could pick this other one up for like 600 that would be great. It sounds like it's drivable now...we'll see what my friend has to say about.

Are you forgoing the concrete in the barn before doing Pat's car?  Maybe just a layer of gravel would tide you over until the concrete is poured.   That would keep the dust down, and even work for a decent (cheap) floor for painting the car.

I was thinking that same thing rollguy. I thought he was gonna put some concrete down. You could even buy some cheap sheets of linoleum or something. I don't know, I understand if concrete is expensive.

This is a good time to bring this up, at Tractor Supply Company (TSC) they have rubber mats for horse stalls that at 4x6 feet and of very good quality. This is eggscellent garage floor material as it is soft and cleans off easily with just a hose and some soap. They run about $35 each and are heavy but well worth the cost. Four of these under or around a car being worked on would be a great start. Especiialy if you put down some gravel first to keep the dust domw from the sand/dirt on the barn floor.

I'll order one and have it shipped to you Mavericke to try out.
