Desert Mavericks.......Sand Box

Isn't that too long to fit in a Maverick or do you have other plans for it?

 

Im gonna narrow it to 53", moving the rear leafs inboard 3". I looked at buying a custom width from strange or currie $$$$. I just thought I might do it myself. Like I dont have enough to do already

Hmmm its friday sooo maybe Ryan will have his car up and running this weekend or not.

 

Hey guys,have you given any more thought about that car? I am interested in the spoiler setup along with the bumpers , hardware and tin. Also,I could go with you,Gene,to take a look at it if you like.Just sayin I'm in need of those items and prefer the "local" aspect of it.

 

No pressure

 

Somebody better go buy that car before I do. then the price doubles on everything. :evilsmile


And come on Craig, you know me, Of course I wont get my car running this weekend. All I have left is one more fitting and bleeding it. That 2 weeks of work Easy.

 

I would think about going in on it but got no place to store it. i did till my son brought home his car and bike. I'm out of room now. I got 6 cars, a truck, a trailer, and 3 motorcycles. It looks like a car lot...LOL

 

Yeah I know on both counts

 

Well,I have room for it...but it would have to be temporary.I already have a '55 chev pu,dismantled and when I brought a'74 four dr home to use as a parts car,she didn't express her enthusiasm in the same manner as me.So about a year ago, when I mentioned I found a '72 maverick,or '78 bronco, she ever so softly whispered "If you want a horse,get a herd,but before you drag home another jalopy,remove one".Did I also mention that was when she had me in a headlock?

 

I would clear some room for whats left of the carcass. I dont want doors, fenders,hood,deck lid, bumpers. It just needs to roll up onto the trailer. If we can agree to what each person wants and chip in the bucks then someone should look at it. I can be in PHX next weekend with a trailer.

PS I want the A/C

 

What if we figure out the money, I come up with my trailer, we take it to your house and pick it clean.

Ill bring my compressor and air tools Pit stop style.

What are you willing to pay for the sheetmetal? Seats? Anybody else want anything.

 

I'd be willing to pay $200 for the two front buckets.

 

Ok, I just called on the mav on craigslist and had to leave a voice mail...told him I would like to come look at it tommorrow(Sunday) if possible. John (madmav) is willing to go with me. Waiting for a call back.

I just noticed that the craigslist posting has been removed.

 

Thanks Gene...that brings my cost to 750 plus gas. So...Madmav what can you kick in for the sheet metal? Theres a guy in LA who wants a complete 8" to bolt in, I could sell him that, cause I have another 9" I can get. I know this is a stretch of a DEAL but Im in, if we can make it happen.

 

Hey guys,my wife's computer went down yesterday.So I called a few minutes ago about the '71 mav we were discussing and was informed "it's sold". Hmmm ...Ryan,you wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you? [ Just joking! Now here's your chance to blast us about not gett'n the lead outta our rears ].Dang, Resto,it was a good plan!

 

Bummer...AGAIN!
