    Sounds good to me, did your dad used to have a Maverick or how did he come to suggest you getting one?

    As far as I know I'm the first in my family to own a Maverick. I think my dad just liked them when he was younger so he thought I might like them. I'm just glad I was able to find one

    I live in Midland. I will be needing some stuff later I'll post a parts wanted ad so I can get everything I need at around the same time. I can't find my usb cord for my camera though so I'll probably have to borrow a friend's so pictures may be up THIS weekend. I can't wait to get ya'lls opinions:Handshake

    Ok well I'm trying to plan out my future for my car so I was wondering what you guys thought I should do first. The engine runs good (needs new radiator and hoses) transmission is good, it has some surface rust all on the under body and under the front fenders cowls are good floor pans are good but the rear quarter panels there is considerable (to me at least it may not be that bad) rust, like it ate through theres a big section that the previous, previous owner (so I'm told) tried to patch with I assume fiberglass and lots of it :rolleyes: that's what it felt like when I was hammering it out this weekend. I don't have my driver's license yet due to me having to finish up my Boy Scout Eagle project (hopefully in March or April). So there's no real rush on the radiator. I was wondering if you guys think I should just cut off and treat where it's rusted through and spend my money on radiator, disc brakes, suspension or fix where it's rusted and do the radiator etc later. All opinions will be greatly apreciated hope to get pics up soon.
