    Well i bought a 71 in arkansas a couple months ago.. It was a parts car then it was a project car then a parts car again and now its for sure a fixer upper. It needs cowl and floor pan work(of course) a new quarter panel and fender. I got the fender yesterday. Right now we are converting it to 5 lug its 5 lug drum up front now but will be disk brakes one day soon. It came factory with a 250 six cylinder we are pulling that cleaning engine bay and painting. Gonna put a 302 in it with rear gears.Interior was red and black bucket seats. Gonna keep that just repaint and cover everything. And it will be there soon. We are gonna take off all emblems keep them guessing and patch all trim holes and emblem holes.
    Pictures as of now.. Project was 5 lug up front next is 5 lug in the back. Then floor pans and cowl and engine bay. Then disk brakes and primer. THen paint. We got somebody gonna do the seats for free because he owes us a favor.
    Im looking for cheap disk brakes. I have a decent spoiler and sport mirrors and door panels to trade for some.
    If you have anything rude to say just leave.

    I really like the color combo and the longer it sat in the drive way the longer it grew on me.. We just bought a ldo 302 car that has all the parts we need to convert.

    How much do you charge for yours? A junkyard near me has alot of late model mavericks but they dont allow you in and they say all the disk brakes are gone.
