    Before, During, and Mid way done (primer) - I plan on restoring/customizing as I go. Once I pull motor, transmission, drive-line and rear end I will have the underside sandblasted, and coated with line-x for undercoating. Then plan on installing a 347 stroker with a 9'' ford rear end. Also plan on putting on 11'' disc brakes all the way around as well as a roll cage inside prior to engine. Plan to have the car completed by next year. Car will never be 100% finished as I will change/tweak/upgrade always :)

    Going Grabber Blue with 9'' Rally strips down middle.

    Currently tearing out all the electrical and going to re-wire with a more "updated" sophisticated setup. Old shell, Old motor, New technology

    Damn sorry to hear that the wheel came off. Always make sure the lugs are tight :)

    You're welcome for the turn signals and marker lights. I ended up shaving all four corners (see pics). Glad they worked out :) Sorry it took so long to get out was super busy :(.

    Ive been meaning to call you too, forgot the year make and model car interior you had in your maverick. I realllllly want to go that route with the inside. I was going to stoop down to the good ol` fashion bench seat;. Have some 67 mustang bucket seats but don't like the look/feel to them. Want more "modern" comfortable/safe seats at least for the front.

    Let me know what you need for your car as far as part wise for the wheel falling off. I may be able to setup you up with some parts on me.

    Lastly shoot me some pictures of the inside/exterior of your car to my email/cell

    lzoesch@gmail.com
    and you should have my number.
