    do you have anyway to separate your pics. the way they run together makes them look like one pic. sometimes I have trouble finding the line between them.

    Any luck on seeing if you think those hinges will install without modification.

    What did it cost you for your strut tower braces?

    The seller swears that they are bolt in. The only person I know that has a set is Topoliner. So who better to ask than him. I would just hate to spend the money and find out that the originator/seller is not telling the complete truth. He is a member on the forum. I asked if he would stand behind is product and guarentee it fitting without modification and offer a money back guarentee if it doesn't. The response I recieved was basically "Due to my doubts I should not buy." That doesn't seem like an answer that he will stand behind his product. For the $1050.00 before shipping from Brazil I just want to make sure they fit. Engine compartment on the car I am building is painted and it is to late to cut and modify the area to get them to fit.

    By the way how is the spoiler coming along?

    Yes, billet stuff is expensive................with the money I've spent on rod ends and aircraft grade fasteners for my ladder bar system I could have bought the hinges.....................except I don't have any on the race car.

    I packed up the valance and shipped today..............he should have it late next week........................then maybe 30/60 days and we should see the first prototype.....................can't wait.

    in a couple weeks I will try to install in my other car..then I can answer your question(y)

    the seller still insist that fit with no modification..he will come to a car show near my town in a few weeks, then he said he will come down here to follow the installation.
    if all goes well (or not) I'll post the photos on the Orange Maverick thread

    We are going to have http://www.spoilersbyrandy.com/Pages/default.aspx
    build a metal and aluminum spoiler for the 70/72 Maverick.
    I got the front valance from 7D2Grabber here on the forum.....did the body worked needed, crated it up and sent it to Randy. It will take him about 30/60 days and he will have the first prototype metal front spoiler....then hopefully he can build aluminum or different styles using the original front valance as a template.....................here is the thread.

    This is why I am asking. If you had a set I would have asked you. I am thinking about getting them anyway because I will pay through paypal so there is some backing when it comes to getting your money back on an item that is not as described. I just thought I would try to find out so I could avoid the hassel. I do not believe that are any other options if you want to go that route.

    Hey friends!! :thumbs2:

    Today I talked to Ted from www.thebillethouse.com and maybe there is a possibility for him to start making hinges for our mavericks! I already have a pair of hinges that he did for the challenger and they are absolutely incredible!and the price is great! He is the only guy that make hinges for Challengers... Now I ordered a pair for the trunk.
    then, depending on the number of interested parties, he can think in manufacturing.

    then, get in touch with him to see what is the real possibility that he start manufacturing.

    :thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:
