    i'm sure some of you guys know of Jim Green.heres a pic of his vega :D[​IMG]
    well we stopped by their shop the other day to buy a couple things and we mentioned it was going on a maverick and then one of the guys said they have an old maverick up in the 2nd story of the shop. we went up there and checked it out and it had the front clip up on top of the rest of the body, then the chassis was leaning up against the wall. i asked if they knew where it came from but they said its been up there for quite a while. it was in awesome shape with the fiberglass bumpers and everything. sorry no pics....

    Geez!!! You used to be my hero (the Comet thing) now you're on my s### list for not taking pics!!! But that's okay. You can redeem yourself. Now, WHEN are you going back to get pics of that baby? And will they sell it??? :huh:

    Sweet! Can't wait to see some pics! Sadly, the owner of the local speed shop here is a Chevy guy, although he does know a fair amount of info about Mavericks/Comets.
