Brazilian Maverick rebuild

Cid, your engine looks sweet! Can't wait to hear it run.

 

Or if you can get me the total length of the tubes used I could calculate the weight. If made of roll cage tubing in mild steel, 1.625" in diameter, and has a wall thickness of .134", it weighs .178 lbs/inch. If made of roll cage tubing in chromolly, 1.625" in diameter, and has a wall thickness of .083", it weighs .114 lbs/inch.

Thanks

 

Thank you Rusty!! I cant wait too!!!


Here is the "orange" mav tail lights :bananaman

 

Chris,tomorrow is holiday here..so,next week i will try to weight for you

 

I am loving it!!!

 

Are these factory Brazillian Mav tail lights? I love them and I'm enjoying your build. You have skills my friend.

 

thank you man!! these is 69 camaro tail lights

 

What are the can shaped things where the fuel tank goes?

 

Chris well observed!
Although I have changed the tank for a 22 gallon, the tank is still equal to the original, has the hole for the spare.
And the trunk is now, floor plan, so I did those "cans" to give more support to tank.
Got it?

I'll take and install the gas pump that empty space between the tank and the trunk.

 

Did you add the support metal to the top underside of the fender, or was that a factory thing in Brazil? Either way, looks great, and a great idea, as the tops are pretty flimsy without it.

 

yes,I add the support..to avoid crack the painting..cos everybody loves to put the elbows to see the engine ..then clunk!! I saw this when I buy the car...and prevention is better than cure!

 

Sounds like a good idea - what size material did you use and how did you fasten it - welding?

 

I soldered a strip of 1/8 x 1" x ? .. was very rigid .. I think that will be good!
