    Thank you folks!!! :thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:
    that is a mustang 68 bumper..but dont fit properly in a maverick.. I had to make several alterations to fit...

    The first thing I did when I bought the car, was to alter a photo in photoshop to decide what I would do. and major changes are the rear bumper, the front bumper and rear lights.
    I think this bumper more clean and more smooth than the original maverick bumper.it is just my opinion..

    I wanted a Maverick slightly "newer" but without losing its identity, I know some people will hate, but to my taste is good, just as I thought before(y):thumbs2::bananaman:bananaman:bananaman

    Now I hope my first idea to front bumper works so well than rear bumper did..lets see!!!

    The "original" fase 2 tail lights...and bumper

    Umm.... I never knew I wanted to move to Brazil until I saw all the awesome mavericks being built down there. And found out the maverick is "THE MUSCLE CAR" of Brazil is this true?

    I love your build topolino :bowdown:

    Yes!(y)(y)

    Thank you! I saw in some video .. fast and furious .. maybe .. in fact, Mavericks and Dodge Charger are loved here since the seventies .. and hard to find .. between 73 and 79 Ford built 108,106 units in all versions .. 4,6 and 8 cyl .. much less than 10.000 was V8! versus 2 million in the U.S. ... are our only muscle cars

    Fast and furious...never even seen that movie series.

    Might be where they were quoting from, I was reading about the maverick being big in Brazil from this forum actually. :D

    And there is a old thread , where a member was trying to sale these awesome parts that they only make down that way... but the shipping, seems to of been a major buzz kill. I still want some of the parts in that thread.

    Shipping only is a problem if the part is big..like a hood or side skirts...the main problem is the prices!! Yesterday a saw a tach for 750 usd!! Wtf?!!!
