70 Maverick Project

Here is the 70 Maverick I bought on Dec. 10, 2018...
My project for the next few years....
These are from before I bought it



Now it is at it's new home

 

Here is the Parts I just picked up today



I went to buy the door panels, dash pad and package tray, but ended up with a truck load of free parts for a 74 v8

 

Congrats on your new project!
I saw that 70 on Craigslist a while back,
Are you on instagram?
I’m trying to get a California maverick group going

 

No not on Instagram, yes that would be nice to have a Mav. group out here, where in Cal. you from?

 

I’m in northeast la

So far I’ve recruited people from palmdale to Orange County , Santa Barbara
To Hawthorne & San Diego county

Now the tricky part is getting all of them together

 

I was raised in SFV...

Just do something like this site, and as things progress have some meets and gettogethers in different areas so everyone can make at least one meet a year or some thing like that, you would have to find out who started this forum and ask them a bunch of questions on how they are doing things..

 

Sweet, free parts are always nice to get, nice that the door panels are not cut out yet for handles and such for a 74 otherwise they would not have worked on your 70, hopefully frame stands and the v8 conversion parts are in all that stuff. Good fan blade to run

 

Yes free parts are always nice, the door panels were made for the 70 and yes the frame stands for the v8 motor mounts are in that stuff and as you can see in the pic. the v8 crossmember is there also....
Not bad for a trip that was for the panels and dash pad

 

Here are some of the pics of the free parts, one pic won't up load.. had to change it to a jpg format

 

Keep posting pics of your progress.

 

I will, all I did today was clean some parts & painted 2 of them

 

A couple more pieces cleaned and painted



Also ran a battery terminal wire brush cleaner through the bolt hole on the frame to clean out 49 years of crud so I can put the bolts in easily when it goes together

 

Ok have pulled the seats out and the rear carpet up, still have to take front carpet out, but this is what I have found so far....



So how hard is it to replace the rear floor pan? What do I need to do?

 

Does anyone know how to remove this style console?

 

There are two screws on the outside, one on each side and I think two or three inside the consolette. Just open it up and remove the screws and it will come out. Be very careful with it they are highly desirable and very valuable.
