    SOON ....BUT NOT YET
    well im very new to the maverick world, i have built a lot of imports in my day, and wanted to build a old hot rod but didn't want the same old camaro,nova,etc......and one day one of these sweet rides showed up at my work (I sell cars for a Mitsubishi dealer) so we don't offen see these cars in fact it was the first time i had seen one, its a 70 2dr mav and was in the middle of being complete. i was allways looking for a smaller muscle car to build and now i finaly found it.

    I have not yet bought one but will be buying one very very soon i found a 1970 in very good condion still has the straight 6 in it and needs some love on the exterior and interior but has a very straight body so as soon as i get it im sure i will have a lot of questions, this will be my first hot rod build so all the help and suggestions are welcome......Thanks

    welcome to the board. another az. person. :thumbs2: one thing to watch out for on these cars is the cowl in front of the windshield. they are notorious for rusting out and hard to fix. take a gallon jug of water with you when you look at a car and pour it in and see if any comes out inside the car. it should all come out on the ground. there's getting to be quite a few mavericks in az. lately.:Welcome:
