    Once you reach 88 mph, that tape will no longer hold!

    It will be great once finished. Good luck and be sure to keep taking pics along the way. Wish you were putting your efforts into a 75 two door (big bumper) lol

    dont worry, im soon upgrading to duct tape!

    but on a serious note i did tack it in place today thanks to my new welding machine..... ive been saving money for a while for some speed parts and ended up making a smart decision to buy something a little more useful. besides, im a certified welder but i didnt even own a welding machine!!!

    Make sure you get the 200MPH duct tape, like the Nascar guys use. Then get the speed parts and try to outrun it. :drive:

    I didn't know they made a steel spoiler. All the ones I have seen have been fiberglass, or some such material.

    Been a long time

    It has been quite a long time since I have been on. But im gettin back into the maverick game. I am attempting the same, I found a great condition four door 72 that im going to do a modified 250 straight with an AOD behind it, and im working on the whole Grabber and GT trim idea on the car. I like your idea with the stock two door trunk lid cut out, but what are your plans for the corner pieces? I was thinking about ordering one of those repodution Grabber spoiler kits and modifying it to fit my four door.

    I'll post some pics soon but ive started one side. I taped up the end of the trunk lid, then with the quarter extensions in place , I filled it all up with expanding foam. Then let it set and sanded it down to fit the way I like. Then fiberglassed the whole thing.
