    Hey Socalcomet, I cut the bottom of the 74 filler of and added it to the short one from the 72 Grabber. I had to grind off the point but it worked ok. The doors are off the 72 as well, I like the door panels better than a 74. There is a lot more, it's a Frankenstein car. There is even a little Chevy in it.

    Actually Ford did make a Maverick covertible concept car. It was called the Runabout. I have a pic on my computer somewhere I'll try to find it.

    I'd like to see pics of the top up. May want to consider some subframe supports of some sort. The flex to worry about isn't just from engine torque

    I posted pics of top on a new thread. I'm not too concerned about the flex. I cut the roof off in 1988 and drivin across 18 states, I haven't noticed and change but will eventually do something I'm sure.
