    I don't have my Maverick as of yet, so I'm just getting info on some mods I'd like to do. I hate to say this...but would any year Pinto dash fit in a Maverick? Out of that era of cars (MustII, Mav, Pinto) it seems that those cars were fitted with more pleasing dashes, you know, glove box, placement of controls -etc...while our cars were just bare bones. I don't really want to get into customizing my dash or building one from scratch unless this can't be done, so I was wondering if this would be an alternitive?

    Thanks 73Mav.....
    A 65-66 dash would look cool...but I might have a line on an old Pinto for darn near free so I thought I'd ask the board about it.

    The dash is one of the things I like the most about these cars. All business, no BS.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!

    X'3! plus they are one of the few 70's cars that have round gauges, instead of the ugly rectangular ones...
