    Drove mine to the calling hours of my Mavericks original owner who was 87, his sons were very happy to see the car still in its original condition and told how their dad loved that car. About 2 months ago the son called and and said he found the original window sticker and brochure so he gave me that also. More and more I think about just leaving it all original and find another one to build.

    Cleaned out the engine bay.. Sprayed it with degreaser, scraped it and pressure washed and now debating if I should be painting my engine bay black or body color to brighten things up and make it easier to clean, orange would look super clean I tink?
