    I like it and guess what I missed the heads and other parts with my first quick look ! That ford blue can play tricks on the eyes.

    I have always liked this car, just looks like a nasty fast street car.

    So many people wouldn't have a clue though. Put that car in a show and shine and I'd bet the majority of people would discount it as a Maverick with a stock 302. No chrome means it's not fast right?:huh::biglaugh:

    I was wondering if you have the numbers for the shifter and shifter installation kit you used with your toploader.
    Gorgeous car, by the way. I was getting close to selling my project till I came across your thread and "saw the light"! It's inspiring.
    Thanks. John B

    Looks great. I love that stock sleeper look. You need to order the factory emissions decal for the valve cover. SVOPRO did a nice job on mine so I kept them.
