    So it doesn't dent as easily. If you pay me, I'll put a smaller bumper on the back. The army doesn't pay me enough. I could dish out excuses forever, but it's really because i'm compensating for something.

    The wife really wants me to sell. How much you think it's worth. Over $9,000 invested, 302 cu. in. V8, C/4 3-speed automatic transmission, MSD coil, distributor, 6AL ignition box, Edelbrock RPM air gap manifold, Holley 650 carburetor, Holley Red electronic fuel pump, Barry Grant fuel filter, 1/2" braided fuel lines throughout, Jim Lankford custom built 3500 stahl converter, new custom built aluminum driveline with loop spooled rear end, wheel tubs, 5 point harnesses, roll cage certified to 11.99, B&M pro rachet shifter, AutoMeter tachometer, front disc brakes.

    I don't want to lose her, the wife or the car, but if one has to go, I guess It should be the car.

    yeah, im slowly gathering what i need to do the bumper swap too. I have a rear bumper, front valance and working out a deal on a grabber spoiler and 1/4 extensison. if i can find a valance i can finish off the back. thinking about pulling the front bumper off and just running it with the valance i have:huh: or maybe ordering a fiberglass one. think i seen 'em a while back for $80 in a magazine somewhere:hmmm:

    goodluck with the repairs

    bad thing about mavericks is that you usally dont make a profit when you sell one.
