    If you have seen this build from the beginning you can see that this was a big day...when I started the machine was only a shell...it should have been scrapped...it may not be as pretty as other builds but this work has all been done in my garage...learning as I go and trying things above my pay grade...this site has been great and the other builds keep my focus on the goal...

    Congrats on getting it on the road! The car looks great! I really like the Stallion paint scheme with the early Grabber hood/spoiler and small bumpers. It's the "perfect storm" of Maverick styling cues!! The aluminum slots look right at home, too.
