still needs some small spots buffed but definately good enough to show.i could'nt believe the amount of attention i got.people wanted their picture taken with them standing in front of it.wierd no?
That car looks great Bob. People are really getting interested in them. specially since they are not common like Mustangs and Camaros.
Lookin' good Like Don said, in the above post, about Mavericks being an un-common car. People are to used to seeing 10 Mustangs or 10 Camaros at the same car shows. They want to see something different. This is a car that was an affordable car that the average family could own. Seems that everyone remembers one but hasn't actually seen one in years. I can't stand when people bring 10 brand new Mustangs and line them up together. Looks like just a new car lot instead of a car show.
whats backwards?we customized that grill by inserting the the round maverick emblem into the year grill that didnt have one
Very nice, era correct Maverick. I had this guy telling me that I should shave this and french that. I told him, I'm just going after the old school muscle car look. I believe in the end that is what's gonna set the Maverick apart from everything else.
thanx for all the pubs guys.alot of work.alot of guys to thank on this board for the help also.you know who you are, cause i bugged you so much. so i wont name names.i still need to retint the side windows and get another rebel flag for the back window.best regards bob
I'm not usually a fan of side pipes but you make them look good. Its a real retro look. Great job. I think Mavaholic was referring to the sport lamps how they should fit flush and even in the bezel.
that grill had been sitt'n in my basement for about 3 yrs. i guess i forgot what it was supposed to look like?i'm not sure if the sport lamps were an option on the 71 but i always thought ford should have made it like we got it.maybe they thought it might look a little busy with the sport lamps,center round emblem(that seems to fall off everyones car) and the name plate.i've heard a couple other people have fabbed their grills like we did also.i was pissed i wasnt able to put my name plates i got from england behind the wing window and the F O R D on the front of the hood.75% of the people that looked at it today had no clue what kind of car it was cause i got no tags on it.since it needs buffed one more time i didnt want to put them on it yet.thanx for the tip.
