Welcome aboard Mike...glad to have somebody with your talents here.I manage a body shop so I can truly appreciate what you do and the job you have done.
Welcome to the board, Mike and thanks for the kind words (just add that to my next bill ). Mike will also be painting my Maverick - so we can publically bash him on the Interweb if Frank don't like the paint job. Frank, Frank, Frank, being the respected purist your are, I'm glad you like it even at little. I'll try to get more pics of later. In fact, I might even make a short movie of a 'walk-around' to get the full affect, or..... you can do a 'hands-on' at the Roundup! Gotta get back to work 4 now. C'ya.
Welcome aboard, stick around and you will find yourself wanting a Maverick to customize for yourself! BTW Very Nice work!
Great work guy's!!! That looks real good and, it's different. Whats the weight compared to a stock or grabber hood?
Being in the autobody field myself I also can appreciate the time and effort that goes into things like that. It looks great. What is the going labor rate on custom work?? Looks like an 'arm and a leg' type of a job , just kidding. Does look great and worth the effort.
Thanks! Good question on the weight. I'll have to check it out. I know it's hell lot heavier than my all-glass hood (that weighed around 20lbs I believe) - but less than a stock hood (see picture on previous page of underside hood where only the frame was left). I'll get back to ya on the weight.
