    i have got to say thats one of the sharpest mavericks i have ever seen.

    that includes car shows, youtube, my own personal show mav from 20 years ago, any car/any where...chip foose has nothing on you.

    i love the carbon fiber hood, i love the colors...it needs wider rear tires, but damn. if i could build one or buy one, it would look like that. the carbon fibre spoiler you offer looks hot too, but i want to put a regular spoiler on mine (when i build it) and maybe paint it like the boss 302 mustang or that bazilian gt you have (clone)

    perfect-'cept mine will have a 302 boss (new boss block with 4.125 X 3.25).
    amd maybe a tremec behind it.
    is yours for sale :rofl2::rofl2:

    one question tho, why does it have the 302 V8 on the passenger side front, but not the drivers side?

    trust me, i did.

    thats an artist right there. roll over bethtoven, put foose in a noose..
    they have nothing on him. ;-)

    your mav reminds me of mine. mine was white with no stripes and the grabber hood. limosine 5% tint all the way around.
    interior was black and the onthing not black was the chrome gated shifter for the c-4 and the steering wheel. started with a 200 till someone sugared my tank. then i upgraded to a 302 and the mechanic stole it when i went to boot camp. im looking around right now at the clevelands. the dart or the ford racing boss blocks and the john kaase heads. he is making some new p-38's for the windsor motors which are canted valves and out flow alot of heads. i think these are the heads he went in with jegs to build. they are on his site as "new p-38 heads" coming soon. i want a high rpm small block preferable something to top out around 7-grand. something i can go out and spank all the locals with and their new big chargers and wanna be old skewl mustangs. i am thinking all fiber glass and carbon fiber hood and fenders, doors and trunk for weight savings...then a clevland or 302 boss with those kaase heads (4.125X3.25 or 3.4). or maybe a 302 cleveland from australia. i was wondering about that. destroke it with long rods to help the rod ratio and friction loss on the side of the motor.
    i dont want alot of torque cause itll spin way too much. i want a semi-stock looking, maybe on 10.5 tires but really hammers once spun up. i mean 600 hp is 600 hp. if those p-38's are what i think they are, i might check em out and see what they do on desktop dyno.

    i might do some research into destroking the cleveland for shyts and giggles.

    many Thanks for the compliments!:tiphat: I don't have a business, I did it at work on my spare time, nights and weekends. I'm not a professional of anything I just happen to have the "will" power when I want to.
    this car is still far from what I want it to be because of lack of financial aid but with time I'll get there.

    Make sure you make a "build up thread" when you start on your Mav cauz everybody here loves to see these cars coming together.:dancing:
    Best of luck to you in Iraq, Be safe!:thumbs2:
