    I've seen your car soooo many times on here and never would've guessed the front valance was an S-10 piece. Assumed it was something custom. How much work to make it fit? Amazing feature by the way. My new favorite mag Mav.

    I did absolutely nothing to make it fit. It's bolted to the bottom of the fenders and to the turn signal mounts on the bumper. I did fab up a lower rear support similar to the stock one just longer.

    Two 1973 LDO Mavericks (one 4 Drag one 4 driving like Mad on the roads :) ) also have a 75 6cyl Stock! Ok, well sort of Stock :P
    i canceled my subscrption after i threw up in my mouth when i saw that feature!

    they could have done us all a favor and just featured the car and not show photos of the hidious thing called Tom. :yahoo:


    and for the record the part about since "Thomas and his Wife were out walking the show, so one of Thomas' "friends" gave us the nickel tour........." i never said i was your "friend" to him! lol!
