    The underside of your car is just OVER THE TOP...............and I can't wait to see a picture of it on the ground from the rear.............I LOVE the way you tucked the exhaust up under the rear valance.........LOVE IT :drool:
    Like Paul said, it is amazing how much talent/great workmanship that is here on the forum.
    The new Maverick is really nice and looks like a real nice driver with a little tiding up...............nice car!

    Nice find on the survivor!

    What are your plans with it?

    The black car looks great. How's the orange one coming?

    thank you my friends!

    you guys are very kind to me! ever! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:



    the Black Maverick is practically ready ..
    in the coming months, she and my dodge challenger were "invited" to be exposed in a huge car show that we have here. kind the sema show ..

    the orange has already begun to be prepared for painting, and you guys know that this is the most important phase to get an awesome finish, so it still takes a while to start the building.when the service is more advanced I will post some pictures

    and the survivor .. I still not sure what to do with it .. the initial idea would be to replace the engine for a v8 and put everything brand new and made ​​like the black (after all, the body this perfect for her to return to zero miles)

    but on the other hand, the car is so complete and original that I have the option of just repaint it and leave her as she was born. (this was not my style too, until I saw the car .. kinda changed a just my style .. hehe)


    I still have plenty of time to decide the fate of surviving, for now I will use it daily.

    I intend to finish first,the black, the orange and the challenger (btw,I re-restored again and now on its way to a new stainless steel exhaust) before starting the restoration Survivor

    summarizing .. I still have much work ahead! hands to work!!

    cheers!!

    thank you!! (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

    I just realized that the Brazilian Mavericks had the radio antenna on the left fender, and the horn is located on the rad support, not the inner fender. The center console looks pretty cool, too. No steer-head on the fender emblems either. Interesting... Thanks for sharing!

    in fact,one horn is in inner fender and one horn in rad support..

    and yes,we never had the steer head here,if you see some,is American.

    the seats is almost done..missing the holes for seat belt..

    If I were a judge.................it would be at the top of my list!
    I think you will get some type of recognition at the show.......:D
    What is the fabric you used for the rear seat delete, wheel houses, and headliner.................it looks terrific in the pictures.
