    Yesturday morning, I put a mustang bumper on the maverick to see what it looked liked. I made the brackets because I didnt have any mustang ones. It didnt look to bad until I looked at the side. I do like how its more flush with the side of the body. I guess I could make something to fill in the gap. But would it be worth the time, maybe if I run out of things to do I may make something.

    What year Mustang, 64-66 or 67-68?
    The side is a little odd but might work til I can find a good rear bumper.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I wonder how the longer big bumper end caps would work with that. Might give the big bumper guys another option on a small bumper if they don't want to run a Grabber spoiler.

    Still too short, even with the 73 fillers, or big bumper end caps.
