1972 Maverick Grabber Resto/Mod for my Dad

We finally got to the point of shooting some actual color. I was a bone head and did not get any pictures of the bottom and the engine compartment in sealer. Here are some pictures of the color prior to clearcoat.

 

I like that color! Great job!

 

The bottom and engine compartment with clear. Looks Good!!!

 

Wheel wells and interior is next.

 

That's gonna be a work of art when done ..!!!!

 

Awesome work being done, I like the color...

 

Awesome!!!!!!

 

Looks amazing!!

 

That looks great! I like your subframe connector also but I have to wonder if they would interfere with installation of a traction device like cal-tracs. Have you taken that into consideration?

 

It should not but I should be able to give you a first hand answer. I have the caltracs set up in my basement and will be installed on the car when the we are ready to install the suspension.

Here is a picture of the left side welded up. It looks like it is close to oever lapping into the front leaf spring mount area. Thanks for the heads up. I will go by the shop to see if there will be any interferance.



Pre welded on the other side.

 

Very nice

 

I looked and don't have any clear pictures of it, but I think your problem with clearance isn't going to be the plate on the Caltrac..... It's going to be clearance for the nut/bolt the hold the bar because it over hangs the frame.....

 

That's a good point, I thought the frame connector was hanging off the side of the frame rail a little more than it is.

 

Here is a picture of scooper77515's subframe connector with the caltracs. I will have to use the lower hole to even have a chance for it to clear.

 

Is your painter planning on painting all the parts separately? Or will he edge all the parts, and then hang them and spray the outside of the car all at once?
